Nice work, You have definitely been watching Richard Raffan.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you, he is my mentor so 😀

[@baconsoda]

Lovely work. That little mishap in the joint made for an elegant recovery and the plain section really set the beads off. Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Brendan 😉

[@crustybaker2633]

Very nice! Love it! My best guess is that wood is Sapele wood from Africa. I’ve used it in the past as a substitute for mahogany. Cheers!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

It could be, I'll have to ask the lumber yard where I got it😉

[@SebFouquet]

looks like Mahogany to me. Lovely work and video btw.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you 😀

[@michaeldennison3548]

Very, very nice!!

[@pirhoworld]

What a coincidence. My 2 beading tools (1/8" & 3/16") from D-Way tools came in the mail today. I was wondering what project I should try them on. I was thinking of basket weave. And voila. You are a genius. You decided to create this video just for me. This is exactly what I will try to make. Thank you Tomislav.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

😂😂 I like that.... Good for me to make a video just for you 😂

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

D way tools are really nice ones

[@jamesstrathy2178]

I have a single beading tool. That tool is brilliant! Nice box.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir, usually for one beed I'll use spindle gouge 😉, this tool I made for specific job but its found its use more often

[@michaelogden5958]

Good looking wood and cool bead making tool! 50 Degrees Fahrenheit in the shop. Yep! That's getting chilly!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you, usually that don't bother me much but that day it was much more comfortble with gloves

[@psuedoeric]

Beautiful work! Loving your content, sir. Very informative.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much

[@debbiecoull6957]

This is the 2nd time I've watched you use your beading tool. It's very effective. I'll need to go see if I have a bit of tool steel to make something similar. Thanks Debs

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Deb, it really did found its use for several jobs😉

[@davidmorgan7522]

Very nice box Tomislav! That homemade beading tool does a great job. I use my thread chasing tools occasionally for that effect but it's never as elegant as your tool. Thank you for sharing! Take care, Dave

[@jayscott306]

I've been lurking, watching your videos, Tomislav. I simply haven't had much to add to the conversation. Today, I do. I made the first of two similar boxes as yours, but from cherry. Like your timber, it had nice straight grain, even an inclusion, that aligned nicely even after one flange resizing. Even then, the fit could be tighter, though it does pop. So, as I comment 7 watch, you discuss the scraper edge.... I just reduced mine on a similar square scraper. It reassuring when turners you respect do the same things as I do. Great work, as always.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Jay, appriciate that ☺️

[@curth.1500]

Another really enjoyable video to watch and a unique design as well. Must be a damp 50 f degrees 'cause that'd be a comfy day here right now in the Colorado high country. Thanks again for all the great clips!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much, is it snow in Colorado now?

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Lovely little beaded box. Really like the band in the middle.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Glad to hear that ☺️ thank you

[@johnnyb95678]

What a fun and beautiful box! It turned out great. Now if you only knew what the wood was so you could get more.. Thank you for sharing!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you, I'll ask for more of pallet wood in that lumber yard😅

[@bobostrowski8832]

It looks like you have the sides of your diamond parting tool ground down. Good idea. Never would have thought of that!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Usually I would not do this but this is so cheaply made parting tool from the 70... If made properly,this kind of parting tool can be great..... I'll do a video on each tool specific....☺️

[@user-td4lc9el5o]

I'm going to put my guess on African Mahogany. Someone else guessed Sapele, but I think the cathedrals are too mellow. I am used to Sapele having a stronger contrast between spring and fall growth rings. The quarter saw is iconic to the 'mahogany looking' woods. I think Iroko has more of a mustard coloring before finishing, where this has more of a caramel hue.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Could be... With these eczotic you can never be sure

[@jhnnyg1]

looks a little like lace wood . nice job !

[@fredericrg2984]

Bonjour Tomi. Superbe la qualité de mise en œuvre pour cette jolie boite .

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much, merci

[@MarklTucson]

Very nice looking box. That wood really is quite nice.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you, its quite nice to work

[@brycebradley5272]

It looks like Mimosa. I just turned some and it sure looks the same as what you are turning. For some reason, it is considered an invasive species because it grows so fast and takes over. Beautiful flowery leaves. Thank you for all the great videos you have provided.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir for kind words and your feedback ☺️

[@lewisgreenway5065]

Just found your channel am now subscribed I admire someone who makes their own tools. 👍👍

[@cobberpete1]

Very nice box... I have the opposite. 42c in my shop today. ( Perth Australia). I have two wall fans going full speed, and a small portable A/C on my back, to help keep me cool

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Auch, Honesty I'll rather be cold😂 somehow its easier to warm up then cool down Thank you very much for watching 🤗

[@harlowchandlerjr.6371]

Very nice work as always, and it's always useful to see how you deal with unexpected events. I'm sure you know, but it's a good idea to be cautious about breathing dust from unknown woods. Best not to breath dust from any wood, of course, but some more than others. I wonder if you'd consider making a texture tool. I use one sometimes to put a little extra interest on the bottoms of boxes and bowls. It only adds a minute or two to the work and I think it looks good if you don't overdo.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you, I do try avoid as much as I can the dust, but when filming then Its hard to do.... Honesty,I haven't had the opportunity to use texture tool so that might change in new year☺️

[@user-sc7hb1ci9m]

Le travail est fait avec délicatesse et le final est superbe ,cela donne envie d'essayer...Bravo👍

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you 😀

[@jackthompson5092]

Neat little box Tomislav.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you 😀

[@robohippy]

Nice piece. The wood looks like a bunch of different things that they call 'mahogany' but aren't..... I didn't like the snap type lids. People would pick them up and give a slight tug, and when the lid didn't come off, they would put it back on the table. I go for a 3 to 5 second lid. Pick it up by the lid and it takes 3 to 5 seconds for the base to fall off. Same process. I did see one guy, Eric Lofstrom, who turned boxes with 1 inch tenons. Lid would be spot on parallel to the lathe bed. He used a scraper that had the edge ground perfectly straight so you could eyeball the lathe bed as you made the plunge cut. The tenon, he would start with it spot on parallel, but then would crown it slightly so only the center was the exact diameter of the lid. The lids would gently slide off. One he wouldn't pass around because 'just the warmth of people's hands would make it swell up a bit and the lid wouldn't fall off. He did turn them down in stages, taking 6 or so months. This would make up for the wood adjusting to bulk being removed. Interesting process. I haven't tried it yet.... I did do a 3 foot long pasta rolling pin that way, and 2 years later, it is still spot on straight. I do prefer to rough turn my boxes first and let them sit before finish turning them.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

That is accually what I usually do and my last box on 4ways after wood moves its 3-5second lid.... I do like that process and I wanna make soon a tall tea box with lid like on selphone cases where it just slowly goes down.... probably in new year I'll do that but need some interesting timber and I try when I can to rough out stuff .... That stick with me from time I learn my trade in woodworking

[@michaelsouter4886]

Nice little box Tomislav. I did something like that but I used a 10 TPI thread chaser. I should make one like yours. I think beads that are a little larger are a bit better

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thread chaser is nice alternative, thank you for watching

[@CrimeVid]

Looks like Meranti to me, of which there are many species,with all sorts of commercial names, several of which you might find in one bundle. If I’m buying it I always buy the heaviest pieces(of the same nominal size !)

[@MrPod15]

Tomislav, just so you know the timber you are using is Luan.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you

[@DavidBird-uu8km]

Very nice another great design.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir

[@briantaylor9266]

Looks like sapele. It has a slightly spicy smell, which is useful for identification.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Its little different then sapeli I've turn but there could be milions of sub species

[@liveoak4124]

Like the tool. Wood looks like Lauan/Meranti commonly seen as thin plywood skin

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Hmm that is where its familiar, thank you 😅I could not point a finger where I saw it

[@seamusday1964]

A joy to watch as usual! I think it also looks like some kind of mahogany

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you 😀

[@stevenhansen8641]

🕶very nice Tomislav. Thanks for the time and effort.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Steven for watching 🤗

[@matthewbias3602]

The wood looks like either crabapple or American wild cherry

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Haven't seen those so I can't compare , its weird but nice timber

[@curth.1500]

Your videos are so helpful and so entertaining. Please keep it up! They're gonna keep me enthusiastic until i can turn again after it warms up. Late April early May?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir for your generousity and I really appriciate support 🤗 I'm really happy to hear that my videos help out and I do hope that you will ve back at the lathe soon😀

[@markdurant9576]

Looks like Maranti to me.

[@Bunk599]

Could it be Sapele? Whatever the wood the result is fantastic.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thanks, it could be sapele, I'll have to ask the lumber yard where I got it

[@MASI_forging]

Such a great work. It became a work of art 👏👏

Richard Raffin tapers the join ever so slightly to aid in sizing it.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Yes I know, I was going to do that but skew was faster this time😅

[@archiehebron8944]

I like it. It reminds me of the plastic cups they used to put in IAMS brand kibble for dogs. They had beads kind of like that. I'll try to find a picture to link in my next comment.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir...😉

[@archiehebron8944]

We used to have a whole set of them. The came in 40 lb bags of IAMS dog food.

[@curth.1500]

Hmmm. I guess that's a compliment. Indirectly?

[@archiehebron8944]

@@curth.1500 well, I certainly don't mean to be insulting. You can search the images for yourself. I think you will see the similarities. We used to use the bowls and cups on Saturday morning while watching G.I. JOE and the rest of the culture that you may have missed from before the turn of the millennium.

[@alandisomma-od5fz]

I have several pieces of that wood. No idea what kind of wood it is, but awfully dense. Pretty color but not much graining? Does not sand well. I also got mine from wood flooring company as what they consider scrap. Got some real dark dense wood and also some lighter color. Must be coming from Africa and used to support boxes of wood flooring?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

This sounds excactly like yours apart density, this is not dense like more usuall african woods.... Well who knows as only mahagony has over 70 subspecies.

[@alandisomma-od5fz]

I have a question not related to this. I have a scraper that cuts on the right side. Do I have to put the lathe in reverse in order to use it?

[@pigeonmanof180]

Hard to know 100% without seeing it in person and touching it, but I’m quite sure it’s NOT sapele. Sapele is denser and darker than true mahogany and the grain looks like ribbons. This looks like Lauan. Sometimes called Philippine mahogany, it’s plentiful and inexpensive but the grain isn’t especially impressive and it’s soft. It has that mahogany-like color though.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Could be, that would explain why its used for pallets, although this one isnt that soft.... Thank you for comment

[@matthewwright57]

ITs some sort of mahogany, maybe sapele.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I think either iroko or lauan.... But not really sure

[@totterdell91]

judging from the bleed pattern in the piece in the title frame, its rose mahogany (aka New Guinea Rosewood)

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Not sure, could be 😀

[@glennnord2605]

Thats a nice looking box

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thanks 😀

[@chris_thornborrow]

hey tomek, I think its bubinga, often used to make large palettes.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Hey, its too soft for bubinga and my guess bubinga is too much precious to be used for pallets

Hi William, I miss read your question, I thought that you ment if shark jaws Will fit Record power chucks.... If you buy a vicmark chuck with proper thread for your lathe then it would fit....I had vicmark chucks on regent lathe.... Sorry once again ☺️

[@paulharding1015]

looks like sapelli, sapeli african mahogany

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Indeed its is

[@andrewdunbar6959]

I'm agreeing with African Mahogany, but could be Katalox.

[@Maker_of_fine_sawdust]

Katalox is very dark. The sapwood is very white.

[@viceskyre]

I was gonna say Meranti

[@SirBenJamin_]

What type of Beeswax is that? doesn't look like the bright yellow stuff I see for sale over here. Is it blend or something?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Its pure beeswax,but either from age or something else it did go darker....but still has same properties

It looks a bit softer an dustier than sapele or mahogany. I'll take a stab and say it's meranti.
