Woodturning - Walnut Brandy Snifter | Wood Barware
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- The elegant profile of a wooden brandy snifter hides all the challenges involved in making one.
Any sufficiently thin woodturning project can be challenging. The air-dried walnut I’m using for this goblet should mitigate any issues related to wood quality. However, I will still have to proceed methodically and gently while turning the bowl of the brandy snifter by starting at the top and working generally toward the bottom of the goblet.
Along the way I’ll have to get out my big steady rest and use a specialized hollowing tool on the interior of the vessel. Sanding the inside of the snifter will be difficult too.
Will turning this piece of wooden barware be successful? Watch the full video and find out!
Cheers, and enjoy the video!

Damn your the man , wish I had the money to send you a few peaces of the native timber I've been messing around with lately or a few bits from other native trees I have seen fallen down
I’ve turned a few pieces of wood from New Zealand/Australia, and I suspect the local woodturners would prefer to keep the native timber for themselves. If that is the case, I wouldn’t blame them one bit. The wood from your part of the world is amazing stuff.
Save your money and add what you find to your own stash. 😀😀😉
Thanks again for watching and commenting on multiple videos.
Wow very nicely done 👍🏼 Could you show us how a louis 13 chair legs is done , it boggles me so mutch thx for everything 👍🏼❤️🇨🇦
I had to look this up as I’m not familiar with Louis XIII style furniture. And wow, some of it is so complicated! I can figure out how some of the turned legs and legs with spirals can be made. I’m not familiar with the techniques involved with building one of the chairs where almost all the exposed wood is carved. Especially if you want or need to use techniques true to the period the originals were made.
If you could be more specific about about which type of Louis XIII leg you were considering, I may be able to do a video about that specific leg in the future as long at the leg style is a wood turned leg.
I’m guessing that the pieces with a lot of carving were assembled out of rectangular pieces and carved after the chair was mostly or entirely assembled.
Also, the wood used to build the originals was probably far thicker than what is commonly available in the USA/North America today. Years ago there was an article in Fine Woodworking on making a stool in the American Chippendale style. The shape was mostly curves and the carving elaborate. However, the underlying structure was to me, amazingly simple. The trick, if you can call it that, was that the piece was made from lumber at least 2 1/2” (64 mm) thick. In essence, the shape was created by sawing it from a big thick piece of wood.
The book “With All the Precision Possible: Roubo on Furniture”by Andre Roubo from Lost Art Press has some of the answers you seek. This is an amazing reprint from a book published in the 1700s. It can be found here:
lostartpress.com/collections/all-books-1/products/with-all-the-precision-possible-roubo-on-furniture
The information is out there, and I’m sure you’ll find it if you remain persistent in your search.
@@CroakyOak Wow what a BIG reply and well explained . Thx for the books i’ll take them for sure . If you’ll like to do a louis Xlll leg , take the one that is the easyest for you and willing to do 🇨🇦👍🏼thx
I’ll see what I can do. I’ll add to this comment when I’ve made the video. Unfortunately, I don’t know when that will be. Thanks for commenting again.
This is a really nice piece. Slow and steady hands, taking your time with the wood! May I ask if it would be possible to make one from Manzanita red wood as well?
Sure, if my local supplier has some suitable manzanita, I can work that species into my wooden barware series. However, I have no idea when that could or would happen.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Very nice piece. What finish did you use? Dose the finish affect the taste?
Thank you.
The finish I used is Clapham’s Beeswax Salad Bowl Finish.
I’ve not tried drinking out of this snifter, so I don’t know if the finish would impart a taste over a short period of time or not.
