wood turning a 1/4 of a log

In this new woodturning video I am using a 1/4 of a log for this project.
I love the way this wood turning project came out. The wood was a little punky so I wiped on shellac and let it soak into the wood to harden the fibers. When that was done I sanded it and added burn lines for accent. It was then finished with friction polish. I wasn't quite sure of the design of this vase when I started but I love how it turned out.
I hope you enjoy this video!
Thanks for watching!

[@johnhartman8086]

very nice.I have a supply of Cherry split like that and now I will try to use it more or less as is.

[@RcWoodturning]

Sounds great!

[@Danseadorf]

Looks real nice Phil. I have white and black oak 1/4 logs from my son. I've also tried a couple of small bowls from it, a long with mushrooms. Thanks for the video...Dan

[@RcWoodturning]

I'm assuming the comment is for me. Oak is some good wood for turning. Thanks for watching Dan... Rus.

[@Danseadorf]

@@RcWoodturning sorry Rus, it was for you.

[@knothead5]

How long did you let the shellac set before turning? Good idea. Intrigued by using the skew for the final parting off.

[@RcWoodturning]

Yes it's a technique that takes practice. This is a video of my finish. kzbin.info/www/bejne/opeyiKmshclgma8

[@lyndaowen2154]

Very nice looking vase. What did you use for the “burn” marks?

[@RcWoodturning]

Thank you! I used bailing wire for the burn marks.

[@DennisDolan-fl3mw]

It also would have been nice if you left the base on

[@RcWoodturning]

I do that a lot. Just thought I'd change things up

[@mrPauljacob]

Nice.. what kind of wood ?

[@RcWoodturning]

Thank you! I found it in the woods, so unfortunately I don't know what kind of wood it is. It looks a lot like spalted maple that I've turned before.

[@TheWind213]

Mmm... Got me stumped again, 1/4 of a log to make a vase? What about use 1/16 of a 2" long log would impress me more george, bet you could fetch 25 cents for that, may have to sit at the fair the whole weekend to make $2.00 better sell your pig for $4.00

[@RcWoodturning]

Thanks for watching! Appreciate the support!

[@OregonChuck]
