Woodturning Butternut: Turning a Lidded Pot with an Ebonized Walnut Lid & Finial
This project was a fiasco from start to finish, but it all works out in the end! I’m really pleased with the ebonized walnut lid - if you missed the Workshop Wednesday video where I did the ebonizing, you can check it out here:

I wish my “fiasco’s” looked that good. Thanks for sharing your trials and tribulations. Beautiful job, even if it was not what you were originally planning. Good luck with the surgery. I hope all goes well and you have a speedy recovery.

Lisa, I call them design modifications. I think you were correct in changing the top, that looks amazing.

Love the alternating ebony coloring of the lid and the band on the finial, in addition to the beautiful butternut of the bowl. Be careful with your shoulder! Thanks.

Thanks so much 😊 the labrum in both shoulders is torn, the right one probably close to 23 years but I tore it playing softball and it’s only an issue if I try to throw anything overhand. Left one is torn to the point it keeps slipping out of socket and it’s just time to get it fixed, while the rotator cuff is still intact and I’m only 50 🤣
Very nice Lisa. Butternut is such a pretty wood.

I want to try turning some butternut. That chunk of wood had such promising grain, long before you got to the sanding and finishing. I knew it would be special, and it is! Funny thing is, though I’ve never had a chance to get any, I’m pretty sure butternut grows in my region. But I never heard of it until I started watching woodturning videos.

Hi Luaa the wood is amazing it's got wonderful grain and colour butternut wood is lovely. I know it didn't go to plan but I find that if you make mistakes they turn out sometimes better than you expect and this lidded jar is just one of those turnings. It us magnificent and I really love it the finish especially the lid and finial is great well done. Thanks for a great video. Take care nice to see Bailey from Amanda xx

Thanks Stuart! Surgery should be fine, just repairing the labrum. The rotator cuff is fine, which is why I’m finally gonna have surgery cuz if the shoulder keeps slipping out of socket, at some point it will mess up the rotator cuff and then that’s a whole ‘nuther and much bigger problem!
Lisa, there are times, like this one, where a "failure" turns out to be a blessing in disguise. Ya done good! 👍

Fantastic project, Lisa! Sorry for the mounting woes, but the finial is beautiful. I'm making new ebonizing solution tomorrow. You've started something. :p Despite feeling like you made mistakes all along the way, and Doug's project went well this week, they're was the common factor in your videos, it got done. Sure, there is the odd failure, but a whole lot more perseverance.

Love the butternut - hasn't sunk in that it's a beautiful darkish brown like hard-to-get English Oak. And all lids shown would've been great ! Got the ebonizing down good too !

Thanks Cyndy! I remind myself of that…a lot!
Don't you just love those 'design opportunities'! Stuff happens.... I have been off in the flat work world. My dad gave me all of his hand planes, and that is a whole different world of sharpening.... That 'vibration you were getting with the burnished burr scraper was probably part too far off the tool rest, and too much metal in the wood at one time as in your radius on the cutting edge of the scraper was about the same as the inside radius of your form. One reason I prefer the shear scrape for a finish cut is because it is less grabby. I may have to grow a butternut tree in order to be able to get some..... Had some pieces once upon a time. Lovely wood. Side note, I did get one of the Robust versions of my tool rest. Brent did it right!

Where do I start...I really like the darker lid. I never know what a piece is going to look like when I start. No need to apologize it looks great. I have a cole jaws setup. It throws bowls almost every time so I use a jamb chuck. I'm seriously thinking about a vacuum chuck like hodge podge woodturning uses. Have a great week.
