Unique Woodworking Projects #4

[@drummingriffin]

Another set of excellent pieces from your workshop (Dog house lol). I especially like the oak leaf, but all are amazing pieces of art. Thanks once again for sharing your talent with us all.

[@themattin]

Love the cedar bowl with the steel wire running through it mate. The most productive thing I've ever done when my chainsaw hits hidden metalwork is to come out with some colourful phrases. those oak bowls are awesome too!

[@moparmanpete]

You are remakibly talented, Thanks for the video Pete

[@ChopWithChris]

Awesome work as usual! On al these items did you let them dry out first or did you cost them while they were still green? Chris

[@craftsmank]

paint is fine for slowing down the cracking - but i prefer to use dustbin liners - that way you have far more control and it only dries when you work on it or deliberatly leave it off. Sure you can get mould but the skill comes in following what is happening. I used this succesfully for some 25 years as a professional bowl turner.

[@FollowingGhost]

Another great one.

@QueticoChris Hi Chris, In this case the wood came from 1.5 years dried wood, or dead wood. These where pieces I had laying around and forgot about. Still, I carved them rough and let it sit in a paper bag for a week, to check for any warping/cracking. Some small cracks formed, but those are decorative ones.

I have made a lot of projects, but all from pre-cured wood. Recently, while buying firewood, I came across a log, about 16" in diameter that had a sweet sapwood pattern. I put in garage, but I don't know how to dry them.(I want to make cutting boards, maybe clocks, out of them. I have 3 questions: 1) Any advice on helping me avoid the cracking while they dry?,2) how do I keep the bark on them when I finally slice the logs; and 3) Can I actually treat bark so that it stays on if I want?THANKS!

[@Buzzsawman]

looks like you found a tree grown around a barbed wire fence. did the wire do a number on your lathe chisels.

[@daddywoofdawg]

Could you show or make a video of some of your tools you use,I really am interested in your scissor jack and dog set-up;but only caught a glimpse of the set-up.also where do you get the foam backing and the grinder blades you use? Yes I like your work.

How do you decide which finish to use?

[@Wayoutthere]

@Buzzsawman I knew there was a wire in there because of the bulbous shape, also I stopped carving as soon as I saw the blue-ish discoloration in the wood! I exposed the wire further with the use of sandpaper.

[@shutupndive1]

hi mate ,,, how you going? what timber is the golden chain candle holder?thanks Sal

[@Wayoutthere]

@themattin Thx mate! And oh I know! I once cut down a large Ash, and found a metal pipe inside the corewood! Or rather, my new chain found it, went dead, and I swore for 10 minutes straight lol.

[@Wayoutthere]

@shaboo2 Hi, you can minimize (100% crack free is almost impossible) cracking by putting old paint or wood glue on exposed surfaces, and slowly! let it airdry away from sunlight, rain or heat. As for the bark, it depends on the woodtype if the bark will stay on. Birch will lose it's bark, but cherry will do fine. if the bark comes off, glue it back on with something strong, and finish the entire piece with a varnish or polyurethane to keep it in place. Good luck!

[@repersia]

Hi, I'm from Italy. Which type of sanding disk do you use?

[@Wayoutthere]

Thank u!

[@FloppyHatPhotos]

I was just wandering if the wire peice was or is for sale? How much? Thanks

[@burnedoutproductions5915]

very nice work

[@shimulbiswas2655]

So I searched for Woody Hyezmar on the net. You can get his plans, although they're not up there with the best, there’s some good stuff too.

[@logansmith9660]

”pepe amazing plan” (Google it) is an incredible book about woodworking. I`m a graduate of a one-year carpentry program from a local tech college. Of all books I`ve read during my study about woodworking, I think this is the ideal book I`ve read so far. It includes helpful pictures and goes over almost everything.

[@Wayoutthere]

@shutupndive1 The wood IS Golden Chain :p Perhaps you know it by it's Latin name: Laburnum anagyroides.

[@shutupndive1]

@Mueiwark now we talking hahaha i feel like i'm wrapped with a golden chain on my brain now ... very stupid hehehe but thanks anyway

[@apach74]

крутяк!

[@creektilghman9187]

very accurate plans for something like that I found on the stodoys website.

[@gregrandol2801]

There are many similar projects in Woodglut's plans.
