- Two scraps of box elder burl could have become two small bowls, but I decide one box to be a better way to go. My apologies for my head blocking the camera occasionally. Blame the cameraman - me.
What I love about this is it’s not your typical RUclips fodder- turning something (the same thing every time),with a fancy thumbnail, out of epoxy and a bit of wood
Absolute experts like this channel and woodworkers like Paul Sellers need are a breed apart, we are very fortunate to have this for free
As always, such a pure pleasure watching a master describe his design process and produce a beautiful lidded pot from a couple of off-cuts. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
I always get new insights on design, technique from your videos. The mounting of the lid is one of these for me. Thank you
Me too! For me it was the two lines on the lid that made the transformation much much defined.
Definitely agree with this -- the explanation as the lid design was being developed was really helpful -- it provided ideas for some of those small details that make a piece stand out
Richard, no one comes close to your design skills and how you teach them. Thank you.
I really liked this project. I have seen the other ones that you have turned. I liked watching first how you made use of some small blocks of wood but also how they shaped the design. Instead of of tossing it because it didn't fit the original mold you had in mind you adapted and produced an awesome little lidded bowl. Very cool.
I have to admit I also like how you show the real sanding. So many videos in other channels made it seem like you only need 1-2 seconds of sanding and they are magically done. I like the colored cloth backed options and getting a feel for how and how-long it really takes to get things smooth and finished.
Thanks for another amazing video.
To me, put any goudge in Richard Raffan's hands and it is always magnificent
Two lumps of wood into a masterpiece! Skills we all strive for.
Only Richard Raffan could take two almost unusable pieces of scrap wood and turn them into such a beautiful little pot. Thank you so much!
No better example of the beauty of turned burl.
Thank you for this. That wood has such an interesting grain pattern in it. Looks like marble. Love it.
Thank you Richard for this masterclass! It's just amazing how these techniques of yours can be helpful to save any piece of wood that seem to not have a tasteful future.
Every video you produce is a wealth of instruction on technique and design approach. Very much enjoyed your explanations as you developed the lid shape. That pointy tool looks to be quite useful. At the end, when you showed the lid removed, the double line inside the lid you placed to locate the jaws very nicely complemented the outside lines you placed with the pointy tool.
Beautiful little box Richard.
Thank you for your wisdom, experience and the fact that you share both
I'm addicted, really. I can't stop watching your RUclips videos, as well as learning from your vast experience. Thank you so much for taking the time to share all that stuff. I've been following you for decades through Taunton Press magazines, videos and books, and seeing you working and explaining live is much more captivating. Hat's off Mister/Master! Keeping turning as you do, I believe you too are addicted to woodturning. Best, Serge
It's always amazing what you can do with 2 little bits of wood...beautiful!
I love your videos. You always say what your thinking as you're working along. It let's a novice turner like myself get insight to a masters process and how he gets there. Thanks!
Absolutely wonderful way to use small cut offs. The wood is beautiful with all the figure.
Another beautifull result. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill.
Thank you so much for another outstanding Video!
I really like the way that turned out. I've learned a LOT about turning boxes, not to mention other things, from your videos. You teach in a way that I seem to understand. Thanks again for all that you do.
Excellent as always, thanks
A beautiful bowl, with great grain.
240 videos. Amazing ❤
Once again our master at work. You always amaze me and I am sure a lot many people with what you can do with scraps. Thank you for your new insights that only comes from your enormous experience and most of all, thank you for sharing.

Gorgeous figure in those pieces!
Just a tip, do not put Box Elder near your house, nice tree but surface roots will destroy your lawn, sidewalk, driveway, foundation...... whatever, I speak from experience.
So do we.....
Hi Richard - I have just started woodturning and I have been watching lots of your videos and learning all the way. Can you tell me where you get your sandpapers from - the ones with the different coloured backing depending on the grit. Many thanks. Phil
The abrasive is Colour Coded Grit www.veneerinlay.com.au/product/mixed-6-pack-1-of-each-grit-2m-x-300mm/ is an Australian product stocked widely in Australia and by Craft Supplies USA but I don’t know who else.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Thanks Richard - I have contacted them to see if they will ship to the UK and how much it will cost. Please keep up your great teachings - I am gaining lots from them. Phil
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Hi Richard, I sent for the coloured sanding papers from the USA - items around £40.00 shipping £37.00 so not really economical! I trust it will last me a good while - I sent for a roll of each grit. But if it is good enough for you, I should do very well with the stuff (always follow what the masters are doing - that is my motto) - lol. I also asked Australia who replied but far too expensive, both item and shipping. Thanks Phil
Did you stop using boiled linseed oil in favor of rice oil? I may have missed it if you already explained something about it. At any rate, I like the way this item looks.
Recently I was unable to find my usual boiled linseed oil, so I've started using rice bran oil which I also mix with beeswax. No problems with it so far.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Does the rice bran oil eventually dry?
@@MarklTucson It hasn't dried in a week, but mixed with beeswax it makes for a good utilitarian finish.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Thanks!
Why are you using rice oil instead of linseed oil now?
I couldn't buy boiled linseed when I needed it so thought I'd try rice bran oil. I might stay with it as it seems to be ideal. For years I used cooking oils and beeswax and never had problems with oil going rancid, so it's a return to my old ways pre-1985 or thereabouts.
Very nise
