Turning a Bowl in Yamanaka-style Woodturning w/ nice ASMR!

Woodturner makes a bowl on a Yamanaka-style lathe in 10 minutes!
Yamanaka, in Ishikawa prefecture, is known for end-grain woodturning. This particular type of woodturning produces light, thin, yet sturdy vessels.
It is an important area supplying many urushi (Japanese lacquer) centers vessels with which to create products from.

I love watching Japanese craftsmen. My questions are; what type of wood is this and how long was his apprenticeship?

[@woodturnertakehito]

The wood is birch. I have been training for 33 years.

@@woodturnertakehito Thanks. I visited Japan in November and wished that I could have spent time with some of its craftsmen as I am also a woodturner.

Beautiful work. I also like the use of wood shavings for cleaning the tools after sharpening. I don’t think I’ve seen that before.
