Wow. Beautiful! Any problems with it warping or cracking in the last year? I have a similar burl and figured I would have to rough turn it, then let it sit a while.

Very nice piece! How thick are the walls? Looks like about 1/2”. Can you tell me what finish you used? Maybe some day I will reach this level of turning 😅

Thank you Mark! Yeah, they are about 1/2"! I've started using only mineral oil on my work. I find anything with wax tends to yellow it a bit more than I'd like - especially when it comes to Box Elder. Thanks for stopping by!

I have tried turning box elder burl , starts out great , but seems like it doesn't matter if I turn green , or rough turn then dry , or dry for years it will always warp or twist way out of shape . Do you have a way to prevent that ? I have a whole quonset full just waiting, but kind of resigned to waiting till I get a vac stabilizing set up . P.S. I prefer to have the bark side as the base and outside , to keep as much figure as possible Edit . Very nice . If you don't mind me asking where you find the burl. I'm from central Saskatchewan , we have a high runoff in spring and seems to me that on flood plains where the trees get damaged by ice flows , every box elder has some burl
@AlpineCreativeCompany2 жыл бұрын
Hey pal! I've only turned boxelder green. I've almost exclusively used burls from the tree and it seems like the crazy grain usually keeps it relatively circular. That said, every piece does warp a little bit while drying! I don't have the patience to wait for it to dry, or do twice turning! Ha ha. I'm located in Alberta and I get most my wood from local arborists that are removing tree within my city. Let me know if you have any other questions and I'd be more than happy to help! Happy holidays!

Hey! Thanks for watching! I am very happy with how it turned out. I actually have another piece (the other half of the log) that could produce something of this scale as well. We'll see :) I have to wait very patiently (over a year!) from the point of purchase to actually receiving the lathe. It was a major upgrade for me but definitely worth it. Buy once cry once! I did look at Robust and Oneway but for the price point this was definitely the best decision for me, and I love it!

@@Buttonwoodcrafts Hey Chris. I definitely do recommend it and its an absolute please to use. The price point is just perfect (especially here in Canada). That said, before I even had a chance to use it, I was testing it out once I set it up and the speed controller suddenly stopped working. Luckily it was under warranty and Rikon was able to get me the part quickly, but after waiting almost a year to get it, and after spending the $$ on it, it was defiantly a bit frustrating!

@@AlpineCreativeCompany I had a couple problems with my Rikon too and they resolved the issues eventually but mine sat idle for 4 months waiting for the parts to be shipped. I had the same issue as you on my lathe as well as the shaft on my tale stock got really hard to turn after a while. Looks like they went to a finer thread. Keep an eye on that too!

I really appreciate your woodworking skills but your camera and ground glass .. plate holders are so over built. I wonder if you’ve ever handled an actual well made large format camera as a reference. All you need to do is make an appointment at a place like George Eastman Museum in Rochester, NY if you are in the US .. or the European museums that have camera holdings. You would learn a lot about functional camera design to allow you to whittle some weight off your next project.

I think the same. The woodworking is nicely done as well as the capturing of it. But way too much material was used. And I still don't see how the film holder is light tight when the darkslide is removed. Even if you don't remove it completely, there will be some lightleaks. I'm watching these videos for a couple of months now to find ideas for my own build, but seems to me that nobody's showing this tiny, but important thing, the sealing of the holder when darkslide is not in place.

That turned out awesome! It might have cost you a new pair of boxers though. I've got a Oneway Stronghold chuck, and I ended up getting the lager jaws for it when I started to turn bigger and heavier pieces. I've also started using a glue block rather than my chuck for the last 6 months and haven't had any problem with that method. Jim Sprague showed me this trick with hot melt glue in an electric fry pan. Dip in your wood block and line it up with the base of the bowl, and I don't think it'll ever come off.
