Good Turn. I also admit Richard is my mentor. Not only is he technically a master in his craft, his approach to woodturning as a vocation is impressive. Thanks for sharing.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Indeed he is, I would not be a turner I'm today if there wasn't Richard with his advices, emails and etc....

Randy Cosgrove said it, you’ve been following RICHARD RAFFAN. But never the less you have a good eye for design and details. All the best.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

He is my mentor and I did pick up most from him...so it does look similar techique.... THANK YOU very much 😀

[@randycosgrove3608]

Nicely done! I've been watching Richard Raffin's videos for the last year or so and have been mesmerized by how simple he makes things look. You've obviously been following his methods closely. I can't think of anyone better to emulate.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Mr.Randy .... I agree , Richard is my mentor and I have watched so many turners online but when I watch him it looks easy, even in his 80's he still turns with ease while I see a lot of them who are fighting with wood and tools..... So I did push myself to learn as much from him as possible.... Even a hand sharpening asymetric grind which is s wonderfull grind once you get it right..... Thank you for watching and support 🤗

I just started watching RR videos. You are so skilled at the lathe. You should make an instructional video displaying your skills and thoughts.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Nice wee boxes Tomislav. Is the inside of the box body parallel, or does it get wider towards the bottom? Best regards.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you 🤗 they get wider to get as much room inside as possible 🤗

[@markwoodcock01]

Another beautiful piece Tomislav, thank you, you give me inspiration. What is the tool you use to smooth the inside/ outside of the piece ?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you mr.Mark, I'm honored to inspired you.... I use mostly scrapers for smooth outside/inside..... If wood allowes, on the inside its almost square end scraper and on the outside its old teo cherry chisel that was really short so I gave it a new life.... Thank you for support and watching 🤗

[@ronaldlowis225]

Is that scraper just an old wood chisel

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Its is, old two cherry chisel , older then me😅

[@pjseiber2774]

Do you mind if I ask, what did you use for the finish? Very nice work.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much 😀 I'm using linseed oil from oli natura and pure beeswax on top of it...
