You have been taking lessons from Cindy Drozda. Very nice Mike. I thought you were going to lose it near the end. Good recovery. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.

Well done Mike. For stems this thin I usually tape it to the live center and pull rather than push. Gives the work just enough support to keep it from wobbling all over. These are pretty cool pieces. I need to do some of these.

Oops, sorry Mike! My bad. Cheers, mate.

Nicely done, a bit sketchy near the end, but you pulled it back and finished it like a champ, well done.

Love it! The classical music is a wonderful touch! I like listening to classical and jazz while turning myself, it's a great way to relax! Thanks for the sweet inspiration man, blessings and love from Upstate New York ❤️💛💚

I find that shining a bright light through the top from the tail stock end helps youto judge the thickness if you're using green wood.

I did buy a LED sewing machine light and will give that a try, thanks.

Very interesting! Does the stem warp by itself over time? I was thinking "How in the world do you do an offset turning that thin?"

The answer is in the link to the tutorial video shown at the end. Sometimes you just have to watch to the end.

What kind of wood are you using? Just beautiful

Hey Mike another great video. Please let us know the thickness and the overall height of the stem and the podlet. Thanks,

Awesome work Mike. Were you able to make this in your first try or did the stem break on some earlier attempts?

I have made 4 successfully of hickory. My failure was shown in the tutorial. It failed because of the poor wood, poplar.

What species of wood are good for this project? I like the tight bark rim.

@MikePeaceWoodturning

2 жыл бұрын

I think most wood that is green except for poplar. I would not want a species with very thick bark such as sourwood and some others. This was hickory but pear would be wonderful.

Would Arbutus (Madrona) work for this?

I have never turned green madrona. I think most any green wood wood do.
