Woodturning Hawaii’s Invasive Species! 🌴

Thank you all so much for watching! This is my 27th filmed project, and it was quite a beast! Not only was this wood far more dense and hard than I anticipated, but it also was completely end-grain, which meant my Tormek sharpener worked overtime. It wasn't until late in the making process of this piece that I realized there was dust behind the lens of my camera, so I sent it off for cleaning and repairs. Sadly, that means I am without a decent video camera for a few weeks. So if my next upload is a bit late, then that will mean it has taken ages to get my camera back... Yep, first world problems...

If you haven't heard of Brad from YouTube channels, Brad's Workbench and Rated R Woodturning, you should check him out! (Links to his channels below and in the video end screen.) Brad asked me to try out 2 new finishing compounds he has been working on, one a fine abrasive paste and the other a tung wax finish. Check out the links to his Etsy store, where he sells them!

I am a retired Senior Master of Art (Teaching) in South Australia & until now I have ben a silent viewer of your really great work. This piece is a real piece of Art from a lathe, a piece that deserves to be on display as a piece of Art, not just as another woodturning bowl. Rather than just watch your great skill in woodturning, I would love to hear you as you talk your way through a project. I do love your work, I would rather you produce a 'sound' video rather than a 'silent' video. Great piece of woodturning Art & beautiful 'finish'. Cheers, Don from South Aust.

The color of that wood is amazing. It's like sunshine in a tree. You did it justice.

At the beginning of this video I thought the wood was going to fly off of the lathe! I do like this masterpiece without the bark! And what a masterpiece you have created! Your talent has me on overdrive because I have not seen such gorgeous work over and over again! This is amazing work! You are blessed with a special kind of talent that is inspiring to many!! Bravo!
