    Woodturning - The Monkey Puzzle
    In this woodworking video I use a woodturning lathe to turn an air dried large piece of monkey puzzle into a 16 inch pedestal platter.
    when woodturning a piece like i find it important to nibble away at it until I see what shape the wood wants to be, this is what is so enjoyable about woodturning. big log to bowl, but i find removing the wood in layers allows me to find the best possible shape.

      @JackMackWoodturning  3 года назад +1

      It’s very hard to come by. Iv been turning for a long time and this was the first chunk iv been able to get my hands on, as I understand it the tree is generally protected as it’s native lands have been heavily deforested causing it to be somewhat endangered, this means we only get it when I tree has been felled for safety reasons. It’s always nice to get a piece of wood to turn but I’d never want to turn a tree that has been harvested solely for its timber.

    Impressions: 1. Beautiful piece of NIP. 2. Nice work on cutting the French curves on the base. 3. I have large plate jaws with rubber feet so I only have to cut one tenon on what will be the base. 4. I would like to have you stop the lathe more often to see what is happening to the NIP branches as you form the bowl. 5. Many turners soak the NIP branches with thin CA, as they tend to crack or break out. 6. NIP is notorious for tearing out when turned, and you had trouble with that on the base. There’s no solution but more sanding.

    Not experienced at all about woodturning, watching this video is like a thriller. A hundred times I thought "stop now, it already has such a nice form" but no.......cut cut cut cut.
    I assume you have the form to achieve complete in your mind, or is it also more taking shape during the proces? Very beautiful, inspiring. A museum piece in my opinion.
    I see there is a Center for Art in Wood in Philadelphia PA. Interesting, have to go once upon a time. Wish you the very best and far more beautiful creations. Greetings from The Netherlands. Land of clogs. Among other things.

      @@JackMackWoodturning you know how expensive wood is more so if it's exotic wood I know sometime when creating something waste is expected sad to say what I have done sometimes to save wood is cut the blank down on Bandsaw or use a waste blank and turn project leaving a small blank attached to waste block lovely work though

    • @JackMackWoodturning
      @JackMackWoodturning  3 года назад +3

      Hi Paul, thanks for your reply man.
      I appreciate what you are saying, when possible I would trim pieces off on the bandsaw especially if they are able to be reused. In this case I cut the knots off the outer edge of the log when getting it down to size. I use these for lids on small boxes. Unfortunately due to the form I was creating with this piece there is no safe way to remover the wood that was turned way to form the pedestal.
      The other way to go would be to turn the bowl and the pedestal from two separate pieces and join them. In this case I wanted the grain and colour to run uninterrupted through the entire piece.

    • @JackMackWoodturning
      @JackMackWoodturning  3 года назад +2

      I find that shavings are only waste if you waste them. I produced about 10 cubic yards per month ( full time turner) that go off to a local community farm with very low funding, the shavings are used for animal bedding and then composted for use on their vegetable garden.
      Keeps all that carbon locked up..
