It’s poplar. Maple or cherry would have been nice. This is a softer wood.

What a helpful comment 🙄

You're welcome, good luck with the boxes.

The style of the box is modern minimalistic, and adding a bead would lessen its appeal on buyers. It would not attract those who like traditional style. It would not be a cohesive combination. That's what I note in many turning tutorials, the aesthetic aspects and style of the design are rarely considered. A bead would not hide the joint but draw attention to it, and disrupt the silhouette of the box. I would have made the shape slightly curved inside rather that a V and it's bottom point being the joint. A slight arch would move the eye onwards without the joint interrupting that, making the joint disappear while not being hidden. Turners should think about the interaction between the outcome and future owner / user. The style is often called Scandinavian modern... Finnish designers in particular are well-known for combining sleek minimalist design with top notch functionality. Here the pattern of the wood is beautiful, and the sleek design compliments the natural pattern instead of competing with it.

Chuck jaws have a range and you can make the tenon any size in it. The ideal range is with about a 1/8 inch gap between the jaws. That makes a perfect circle and give the most contact of the jaws to the wood. If the tenon is close to the fully expanded jaws you only make contact with the wood at the 8 points of the jaws.

This size box maybe $40 to $60 unless its a very unique wood like a burl then more.

Honestly had to google it as i never used one. Looks interesting maybe in a future video if i can figure out a use for one.

It was peeling off but the wood was splintery. Most of the shavings seem to fall apart into little wood needles as they were leaving the skew. At first i thought it was some type of poplar because of the bark but the smell of the wood it might be butternut.

@@BlackLabelwoodworksthat is definitely Butter Nut.

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!

remember buy once cry once

Any recommendations on what to buy? I don’t want to over spend but yet need one to last

@@88rushrocks powermatic is alway a good choice but expensive, same with jet ,, I'm looking at the Rikon 70-3040 for myself, there nice heavy duty lathes, but there still $4000 but have really good reviews ,but it all depends on what you need it to do

Most of the time $30 to $40 unless its an expensive piece of wood.

Thanks. Its a 3/8 sharp bend from John Jordan woodturning.

Thank you its walnut for the base and top. That's one of my go to combos with maple.

Thank you very much!

You're welcome!

thank you.

probably not I would weigh it every couple days after 3 months until it does not loose weight over 3 days.

You're welcome 😊

Yeah, that hollowing tool was spinning also…. I know that’s common on round shaft hollowing tools but that ferrule dancing off scared meh!

Thanks for watching!
