After watching this video, I got excited and turned out about 6 just before Mother's Day. I put pictures on FB, sold all six the next day. Oh, my daughter is in charge of the flower arranging. She's good at that. I might have to cut her in for a percentage. Ha

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

That is excellent! Glad to hear! Thanks for watching!

[@kcglide]

@@TheKlondikeCraftsman The vases I mentioned were wild cherry. They were green. Like just cut an hour before green and it's Spring time. Something I'm gonna have to think about in the future. In the Spring, the sap rises. So the blocks were saturated as much they they could be. I actually had rooster tails of water flying off the lathe. I also noticed larger than expected cracks after they dried some. So my plan from now on is to let the blocks sit a few weeks to dry out some. Thanks again for your videos. Now on to your rolling pin video.

very nice at first i thought it was going to be a brandy goblet

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thanks Roy, I appreciate it!

[@D-B-Cooper]

I have made something similar but more of a novelty that sells well. Making almost the same shape, except I try to find wood with a feature in the center like a knot stub, (I use a lot of driftwood) , I round it down to the spur, take it off and cut it on the bandsaw, cut fish mouth into the spur end so it is gone, cut gills into side and cut your base into a tail. Drill couple of eyes, use beads. Drill hole in bottom to put in metal rod for display to use as yard art or driftwood base as art in your house. No two are ever the same. Fun to make and fast, no finish required.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you, that is very kind of you to say! The audience is 50/50 on music or lathe noise. I’ve decided when it it regular speed to keep the lathe noice but when sped up on large projects like hybrids I use music as the noise is shrill. Thanks for watching!

Agree everything you said is true about turning being addictive, expensive and difficult to make any respectful money at is so true. These quick and dirty green lumber pieces are sure to spike any novices enthusiasm and bring in few dollars at a craft event the downside is as you showed they'll crack, split warp and the bark will fall off in a short period of time so as long as everyone fully understands that life is good.
