Turning a wooden Easter egg

My daughter asked me to turn an Easter egg out of wood! I wasn't quite sure how to tackle the sequence of operations but I think it worked out ok in the end.

[@theobromon]

Don't forget his cooking skills!

[@VanDamArtisan]

@@theobromon yes, that too.

[@davidgillies620]

We've seen bricklaying and leatherworking as well. I suppose the next step is glass-blowing or silversmithing. Or robotics, or stonemasonry, or making a bespoke suit worthy of Savile Row from some fabric he found in a drawer. It doesn't matter what; you know the results will be outstanding.

[@VanDamArtisan]

@@davidgillies620 yes, it will definitely be worth watching.

[@darrellbedford4857]

After reading the answers who knows. A man of all trades and it seems to be a mater of them all. I would like to see what his next talent will be.

[@lmckay8881]

It is always a treat to see one of your videos pop up! I especially enjoyed the bird watching "B roll" segment in this one.

[@Greekman72]

So nice way to welcome Spring! I love seeing you turning a piece of wood to a lovely sculpture! So much job, so much precision, so much effort but at the end a great result! Video editing, viewing angles and close-ups gave me so much satisfaction on watching! Your walk in nature is giving us a great sense of turning from winter to spring. The melted ice, the birds voices and the tress growth! You are a great director too! Love watching your videos! I will never stop saying so! Thanks for sharing! Keep it up please!🙂 Now please forge a gooze which will be the mother of this egg😃😉😁

[@torbjornahman]

So very kind of you! Thanks!!

Wow. Yet another superb creation from our master craftsman. I trust, pray and know your daughter will have been overjoyed with the finished creation. You are Indeed the tonic to cure us all In these turbulent times Torbjorn. Peace and Love to You and Your's Sir.

As a maker of many things I appreciate people who step outside of their normal routines from time to time and show a different type of project. Very cool. Also, I can't wait to see your forged Easter egg.

[@torbjornahman]

That will be a challenge.... thanks!!

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!

[@user-dg7sy8cz3b]

I’m impressed by the terrific skill, but just as much by the sharpness of your tools!

[@GeekboyNC]

Nice work! I've made dozens of egg boxes on the lathe over the years and the project is one of my favorite boxes. My chucking sequence is a bit different, but your box was great. Your daughter is a lucky girl.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks! It can probably be done more efficiently, yes.

[@RevereShin]

Personally, I believe it was more beautiful with the topcoat only, no black paint specks, but it is still an incredibly peaceful, methodical, informative build! Loved it!

[@arkencraft8095]

very clean and properly done with a skew chisel, you know what your doing

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!

[@dpeter6396]

Beautiful!!! What Wood?? Wow. Today is my birthday (73) and I can't think of a more enjoyable present than watching you make that gift for your daughter. Thank you from Washington state, USA.

Happy Easter!

[@outbackladas]

Magnificent job, excellent! My late father loved wood turning, he spent years doing it and produced household items like lamp stands etc. He loved to use wood from mango trees because of its pattern, probably too cold in Sweden for mango trees to grow.If I could find some I’d send you over a log, it’s quite sought after. Top job, Regards from Down Under.

[@torbjornahman]

You have so many wood species that I don't know a thing about. Mango sounds good, and I bet it smells nice too :) Thank you!

[@JAERNSPOKET]

Wow, amazing work once again! You're not only a master of iron and steel, but also in woodworking. I'm blown away :)

[@Rustinox]

Nice job. I liked the woodpecker too. Over here we can hear them but it's very rare to see them.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!! Yes they are quite shy, I had to wait for a while until he showed up.

It is much like Russian wooden doll called Matryoshka. It is usually inlaid one into another several times, so it is doll into the doll into the doll and so on for about 7-8 times. Good work as always!

[@torbjornahman]

It's birch wood, probably not the finest, but I like when there is something going on in the grain or imperfections.

[@yeagerxp]

Awesome 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing

[@amschind]

Beautiful project. One question that it and many of your videos provoke for me: As you have more time and money invested into a workpiece, how do you address the growing anxiety that you're going to screw up and ruin it? More than one of my projects has been derailed for far too long because I want "just a bit longer" to try and think through the pitfalls. I think to some extent that's helpful, but it can very easily become an excuse not to go forward. How do you deal with that?

[@torbjornahman]

I know the feeling and there is always the fear of screwing up, but that's life I guess!? I try not to rush things and I think that helps.
