Woodturning: Rivers In The Desert!
Desert Ironwood is one of the hardest and heaviest woods in the world, and this log came from a subscriber! Thank you, Larry! Consequently, this piece was commissioned for him. He also has no idea what the finished piece looks like, so he will see it for the first time in this video, which might make him my new favorite customer!
This project presented many challenges, not the least of which was the requirement for stabilization. Although the finished piece showed very little resin, it was impossible to mount the log safely on the lathe with those deep cracks running through. So, that meant filling voids and stabilizing the entire piece by drowning it in resin. Although I generally prefer ...

Can Cork Be Beautiful?
Просмотров 79 тыс.5 месяцев назад
Cork is impermeable, which means liquid cannot penetrate it. I should have known that unprocessed cork would present some challenges, but I was not prepared for just how soft the cork actually was. When the customer approached me with the idea of using Portuguese cork in a project I was hooked, but I had issues sourcing the right sized cork rounds and ended up with way more than I needed. It wa...

NEVER Doing This Again…
Просмотров 1,2 млнГод назад
Don't skip through if you can help it. This one gets exciting and more than a little sketchy... It seems like everyone has been heckling me to turn driftwood for a while now, and I also had a customer request a mothers' day gift. Their only specification was "navy blue", so naturally I thought... "What better excuse do I have than to combine navy blue and driftwood?" I was going for an oceanic ...
I Should Have Seen This Coming...
Просмотров 58 млнГод назад
Unknown quantities of dirt, rocks, and sand do not make for a great turning experience, and I certainly learned a few things the hard way with this one. For starters, the manufacturer of the casting resin, @superclearepoxy advised me to expect resin chipout when turning at high speeds, so I have grown accustomed to intense, hand-scarring resin shrapnel for the first rough shaping passes. (Hence...

Woodturning: The Cookie Burl! 🍪
Просмотров 299 тыс.Год назад
This olive burl cookie had some nasty surprises on top of the tool-torturing nature of the wood itself, but it was well worth the fight. This was a commissioned project for one of my favorite clients, and so this piece is not for sale. One of the goals of this piece was to maintain the natural edge of the burl. As I found out in my recent video (“Exploding this burl for art”), it would have bee...
The Wedding Gift!
Просмотров 2,9 млнГод назад
Congratulations to Helen and Forrister, for whom this piece was a commissioned wedding gift! Located in the backwoods of Maine, this cherry burl was attached to a tree that was standing dead for what might have been decades before I was lucky enough to find it. Not surprisingly, this burl included plenty of punky and rotten wood, which required the stabilizing and void-filling prowess of Total ...
A Disaster with Olive Burl
Просмотров 1,9 млн2 года назад
Full of natural voids, stress cracks, and unstable features, this olive burl was always going to explode, but I was determined to try and complete this project without the use of resin. Unfortunately, that turned out to be the only way to salvage this piece in the end. Please let me know what you think of this project by leaving a comment below! I cannot always respond to every comment, but I m...
Woodturning: The Myrtle Kiss
Просмотров 401 тыс.2 года назад
This amazing piece of myrtle burl was the subject of a concept I have wanted to try for quite some time. Given the unique shape of this burl cap, it was difficult to reveal a gentle curving shape while also maintaining some of the more interesting features of the natural edge and wood grain. It was a delicate balancing act of approaching the final form one millimeter at a time until the shape f...
Woodturning: The Galaxy Burl
Просмотров 1 млн2 года назад
Another burl too weird to get by without using resin, and this time I decided to aim for a purple-ish starry night type of color scheme. I am still learning how the color pigments react with one another and with the different long-cure-time epoxies from Total Boat, but this time I definitely overdid the black pigment because the purple was almost drowned out in the end. Ultimately, I do prefer ...
Woodturning: The Snow Couple!!
Просмотров 109 тыс.2 года назад
This is the Christmas project I intended for last year and was prevented due to injuries, so I have been planning this project for almost 2 years. I had originally intended to electroform copper onto a pinecone for use as the "tree" but that ultimately failed, and I'm glad it did. I then tried to woodturn a tree using the inside-out concept I used on the snow couple, but it didn't work as I int...
Woodturning: The Cracken!!
Просмотров 1 млн2 года назад
This piece of Ash was one of two cookies I cut from a fallen tree here in Maine. It is the adjacent piece to the cookie used as a centerpiece for the cake at my wedding this past summer. My goal was to keep this piece as natural as possible, cracks and all. No epoxy, no gap filler, other than emergency use of Starbond CA glue (link below), which seemed necessary in order to prevent the piece fr...
Woodturning: The Root Burl!
Просмотров 48 млн2 года назад
There were so many ways to orient this unique piece of Manzanita root burl on the lathe, and I had originally intended not to use epoxy resin. However, when it was clear that I could not achieve the shape I was going for without losing too much of the character from this wood, I had to bite the bullet, as they say, and throw this piece into some delicious plastic. Let me know what you think of ...

This nasty piece of Manzanita burl has been glaring at me from the shelf for the past 2 years or so, and after a hiatus away from the lathe (getting married), I finally did something with it. I hope you enjoy! Make sure to watch through to the end for a special set of glamour shots! Comment below letting me know what you think! Also, let me know if you prefer this more ASMR-like content without...

Stunning
The process is fascinating and no doubt takes a ton of skill but the result is so ugly. I don’t under why anyone would want something like that.
Fantastic

Ok, I'll bite. What exactly is "Texas Ebony?" I've read many wood species books, and none have referenced Texas Ebony.
I’m just overwhelmed with the sheer amount of genius and creativity this man has
