Huge Log vs Wood Turning Lathe !!

[@billc.6381]

Thank you! I showed this to my wife and said “see…the stuff I do on the lathe isn’t nearly as crazy as this!” 😂

I made similar about three weeks ago. On WoodPrix I learned a lot about it. Check it billc.

Such a fascinating video! The amount of control needed to work with such a massive log is insane. It really shows how much artistry goes into woodworking. It’s not just about cutting, it’s about creating something beautiful from the raw material

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@meribor]

OMX, this is so cute and amazing! I love you!

[@meribor]

Also, a lot of the shavings from this project came out in fairly long strands. Might be interesting in a resin project, no?

[@meribor]

Also also, I had no idea you could use some wood's own shavings to polish/oil it up. Brilliant!

Do you think in will develop cracks? or being out in the cold maybe it will dry slowly and not crack at all. your thoughts?

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Most likely one or two large cracks running with the grain. Just as a log would normally crack as it dries.

What a shame to waste such a beautiful piece of wood for such a frivolous purpose.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Do you comment on fire wood preparation videos too ??

[@redfields5070]

@@JackMackWoodturning I don't understand what you mean. I thought surely that huge piece of wood was being turned for some grand staircase in a mansion or something majestic, that's all.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

This is what fire wood comes from.. trees . These trees I use come from fire wood producers. There are many hundreds of firewood preparation videos on KZbin, I was curious if you also comment on those ? A tree’s only purpose in nature is the grow, then die and rot on the forest floor feeding the rest of the life in the forest. Literally ANY use of wood other than that is a waste of wood as it’s being removed from its only true purpose. The fact that you thing a grand staircase is somehow less wasteful than a giant whimsical snowman is merely subjective and is probably something to discuss with your therapist rather than with me 😉
