    Hello Tom, very productive day. At 21:24 you said right, is acacia (akacija).Im my language is acat.I received a few logs from a work colleague. Nice looking grain, but I don't like the smell when turning. Hard to get smooth finish ( for me😀) And a lot of cracks. But I have made some nice bowls with scroll saw technic, bowl from a board.
    Life is beautiful when you do what you like.👍

You look to be one very busy man Tomislav.....you're certainly talented enough to have an apprentice from time to time to help lighten the load and share some of those leg cramps and backaches with.

    Thank you! Do you find that turning green wood to an almost finished thickness (e.g. a bowl but not finished or any particular style) prevents the wood from getting to stable dryness with craacks? Or do you find cracks are unavoidable

    • @tomislavtomasicwoodturning
      @tomislavtomasicwoodturning  8 месяцев назад

      Usually if wood wants to crack it Will , if the wood is tempermental and prone to cracks I'll turn it green all the way thin...but most of the time I'll turn around 10% wall thickness and let it dry for 6-12months.
      Last few batches I don't seal the bowls,just let them a side to dry.
      At the moment there is roughly 600 bowls and plates on the shelf and maybe 5 have nasty splits while another 10 May have tiny defects... But I'll do a video on drying wood ☺️

    Remarkable similarities between you and Richard Raffan. It is easy to pick the professional wood turners from the hobby turners. You remove as much wood as possible in the shortest time, fascinating to watch and note the techniques. Thank you for sharing your skills. Greetings from Tasmania Australia. 👍😁🦘 PS I have a 12 tonne load of Eucalyptus tree trunks, 12’’ 26’’ in diameter 4.8 to 5.0 metres long for firewood. I am being rather selective now with what is for firewood and what is for turning. Video’s like yours and Richard has taught me how to use wood to its best advantage. Enjoy the mix of measurements- got to make our USA friends think a little.😁

    • @tomislavtomasicwoodturning
      @tomislavtomasicwoodturning  Год назад

      Thank you very much, similarities are present beacuse he is my mentor, he helped a tone , expecially in the beggining since there is no one in Croatia that turnes wood like Richard..... Soo I do quite similar 😉 eucalyptus I have never turned , so should be a lot of fun at your shop😀..... I'm honored that my videos along Richard's are helping you, I take that serieus and Thank you for that.....

      @@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Thank you for your reply, now I know why you have the same techniques. Richard is in my top 5 wood turners that I watch regularly. I am new to wood turning, started at 84 as one of the many things I like-we have 5-acres natural wooded property, so lots of Australian hardwoods available to cut down (dead ones) over the years-plus the Eucalyptus as firewood. I also have some Huon Pine, very, very old very dense and much sought after but limited supplies and very expensive. Currently power carving some Huon Pine cross grain shallow bowls with natural edge. Rock hard pale golden timber, only grows in southern Tasmania. Kind Regards..

    The yellow wood appears to be Osage Orange (also called hedge ). It is used for Fence posts here in the midwest (iowa, usa). The wood is so hard. We have to drive staples into it to hold up the fence when the wood is green. When the wood drys out, it's too hard to Drive anything in to it. Posts never rot either.
