[@eranmizrahi7948]

Lovely work sir. Proud to be your 602 subscriber.. looking forward to more great videos anddd a litle Tummy press :)

Great to have you on board Eran. Tummy press is in the next videos - with the Purple Heart. More videos will be coming ASAP, waiting on gilding being done currently 😁😁😁

[@BrailsfordWoodworks]

That is some fine work. Your finish is amazing.

[@WoodWithD]

I have no fingerprints left after making that one! 12hours sanding over 4 days! My poor poor fingers!!!! But thank you 😁😁

[@kristinamcmichael3853]

I think I held my breath before you switched it on but knew it would be pretty much perfect! Great work, I preferred it without the gold but then I’m not buying it 🤣 PRESS THE BUTTON

[@edblakeley1405]

Very nice piece burr turning is my favourite, the gilding works really well.

[@WoodWithD]

I love the end results, but the sanding on something like this is seriously laborious 😥

[@edblakeley1405]

@@WoodWithD do you ever use Yorkshire Grit , I love it

[@WoodWithD]

@@edblakeley1405 I do, on pieces that are crack free. Actually I mention it in one of my next video which will be about a piece of American Cherry and Blue Mahoe. Always follow it up with the micro fine YGrit - I assume you use that too? Just competed a vid on a Australian gimlet burr that I think you’ll also enjoy. 😁😁😁

[@Alien937]

Very good! One of my favourites 😍

[@WoodWithD]

So should I press his tummy in the next vid?

[@petermarsh4993]

Dear Dick, you are a very brave man to stand near that brittle piece of Gum burl {not burr - that’s what you get from a three corner jack !}. Grain is lovely wavy feature. Well done.

[@WoodWithD]

🤣🤣🤣 thank you Peter! It’s a fun game we play with danger each time we turn, but I’m careful and well protected. Had to replace the switch twice before now, where different pieces have exploded a lump off - see one of my earlier videos ‘789’ you can see my knackered switch on end of the lathe bed - switch now up on the wall out the way - which is where I am when first starting a piece. Re Burl v Burr, we call a Burl a Burr in the UK, one of those oddities of English I guess 🤣 I’ll mention it in my next Burr video, just for you 😁

[@finn9]

love your balancing trick, keep up the good work

[@WoodWithD]

It works surprisingly well 😁👍

[@brucejohnson9495]

Beautiful work! I like the idea of the gold leafing, but to me it is too distracting. To tone it down a bit, I think I would have added an Antique Glaze. No matter, it is still a beautiful wall art. I also appreciate your wall mounting suggestions for stability. Thank You!

[@WoodWithD]

Thanks Bruce, totally get the gold being a bit much, I’m not a massive fan, but my partner is and whilst you and I aren’t fans, someone else will love it enough to buy it 😁😁😁 Well hopefully anyways 🤣

[@glasgowjohn7831]

utterly brilliant and kinda looks like an archaeological find of an spartan shield or some such

[@WoodWithD]

Thank John! Have to be a strong Spartan to carry that in battle, but totally get what you mean 😁👍🤣

[@ndothan]

I can see a Bears face in it when you were showing us the hole you drilled for the chuck lol. Thats a pretty piece

[@WoodWithD]

🤣🤣🤣 Thanks James! Awaiting your response on FB messenger

[@michaelcarvell2482]

The ghost turning part was great! Very interesting and impressive Can’t see a thing Barely while doing it!

[@WoodWithD]

Admittedly it’s scary stuff, and there’s several moments that it’s tempting to lean forward to check the depth of cut when turning near the centre, but that would be a very bad idea! Anyways, press tummy or not?

[@michaelcarvell2482]

@@WoodWithD press that tummy

[@RubenWoodcraft]

that is absolutely gorgeous. I've never turned burr before, hard to find a decent chunk of that around here :-)

[@WoodWithD]

Got lucky with this one and it’s two sisters of similar size. Guy bought them years ago, varnished the tops to see what they’d look like and stashed them in his shed. Sold them to me for pennies of their worth! 😃😃😃😀

At 10:40 I could finally breathe. I was holding my breath, that ghost turning was scaring me. But I really love the slow camera footage showing it. Such a skillful turner you are.

T’was a hairy affair that one! Not sure all out skilful, maybe foolishful 🤣🤣🤣

@@gemofthewoods5802 fantastic! I am very pleased she enjoyed it 😁😁😁👍

[@arlineastman]

You did justice on that burl. Well done. Just some advice from an old turner and have the chuck jaws open no more than 14 mil when it grips the wood anything more than the mechanical advantage is losing.

[@WoodWithD]

Thank you kindly, noted and will endeavour to put into practice 👍👍👍 Thank you for your kind words too! 😊

[@Steve-zz5ds]

Enjoying your artistic process, sir. I get a Capt America shield vibe here. BTW you sound very much like Paul Bettany🙂

[@WoodWithD]

I’ll have to look him up - irritating, annoying, or okay to listen too? But to heavy for a shield 😁🤣🤣🤣 But I guess is the captain was handling it, it wouldn’t be a problem 😀

@@WoodWithD not annoying at all. Paul B was great as Chaucer in "A Knight's Tale", he's also in Marvel films

[@johnswettenham4560]

Great hanging art work. Really enjoy your videos this one especially. The gold set it off. So very informative the way you explain everything you do. You should turn some of our red gum its hard but fun and the colour is amazing. Yes press the button on little Dick. Keep the videos coming I look forward to them. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from 🇦🇺

[@WoodWithD]

Red Gum - does it go by any other name?

[@johnswettenham4560]

Don't think so. We just call it river red gum. Scientific name. Eucalyptus Camaldulenss Very similar to the mallee burl you turned. Very hard and very heavy. Just made a huge deck out the back of my house out of red gum looks amazing. It's about 900kg per m3 Very nice deep red when polished. Cheers John

[@johnswettenham4560]

Sorry forgot the i in the name should be camaldulensis. Cheers

[@hotrodhog2170]

Do you put a finish over the gold leaf part?

[@WoodWithD]

Hi Hotrod Hog, no, a finish over the gold dulls it’s reflexiveness. Gilded frames on paintings don’t have a finish generally either. 😁👍
