I think you did a very good job turning this tree even if is your second attempt. Could you tell me what the length and diameter was. Would like to try one for myself. Thanks

Hi Dave! I believe it was about 4.5 x9" . I don't really remember exactly, and as long as it's proportionate, it will work. Thanks for watching Heather 🇨🇦

❤ super sweet, great job Heather❤

Thanks Scott! I still need to figure out how some people get them to bend over more though. Is it because they use more than 1 point on the headstock end?

What a brilliant idea, relatively simple but highly effective ... I can understand how using the sequence 1,2,3,4,5 gave the overall curve, I'm wondering what it'd be like if you tried 1,5,2,4,3 (or any other sequence) ... might try it one of these days 👍

Great job 👍 😊

Hi Brian! I just used a parting tool to define the edge of the branch. But even a skew could be used for shaping the tree. My parting tool is a diamond parting tool . Hope this helps, Heather 🇨🇦

Is the wood fresh cut or dry, if dry please explain the process. Thank you.

This wood was dry. It was cut a year ago, in 3-4' lengths, and left outside. No sealer on the ends. I just let nature take its course

This is a lengthy comment meant to give you constructive suggestions. ( I taught for over 40 years, so I believe I know something about teaching.): I.Do NOT assume anything about your students other than that they know how to use the equipment. II. Do NOT use your second, third, or fourth attempt at a project as the object for instruction. Your students should get the idea from the confidence in your voice, the movement of your hands and tools, as well as your overall demeanor that you’ve done this task enumerable times. III. All your tools must be razor sharp. ( If you have to pause the video to sharpen a tool, let your students know; it will remind them to do the same.) IV. NEVER place a pencil mark on a piece without explaining beforehand exactly why and exactly where the mark should be made. During filming, if you’ve mis marked the piece, announce that and state why you’ve changed the placing of the mark. Making mistakes and correcting them is an important factor in learning and teaching. v. As you work, constantly explain what, why, and how you are trying to achieve the task. Again, if you mess up, explain how and why the error was made and how to correct it. VI. NEVER use words or phrases, such as: “about “, “roughly”, “kind of”,”approximately “, and any other vague or imprecise wording. THERE IS MUCH MORE, but to be honest, at 77, I’m getting a bit tired of texting. I wish you well with your channel. If other viewers object to my suggestions, they are entitled to their opinions if they know better.

Thank you! I appreciate the constructive criticism, and will try to remember some of it as I'm creating further videos. My channel, so far, was not created as a learning channel, as I've only been turning for 3 years. It was created to show my friends and family my new craft, and how I make pieces. It has grown beyond that now, but I don't consider myself a teacher, by any means, and I don't know if I ever will. My channel is for entertainment purposes only, and I know that there are better learning channels out there for learning woodturning, and I try to send anyone looking for answers in their direction. I really do appreciate your direction though, and I'll keep it in mind!

Thank you for reacting to my suggestions as they were intended. I meant to help. In fact, now that I know you have been turning for only three, I’m impressed with your level of skill. Please, keep on putting out your videos. You’ve gained one more fan.
