Afzelia wood?

[@alessandroalberto6431]

Gran bel lavoro ! Ma non ho compreso di che legno si tratta.

[@AlistairBroomhead]

Utile?

[@terriefowler8196]

❤ This! A mallee burl maybe ? It's very pretty whatever it is!!

[@nikkia9506]

You fiend!

[@dillydanny-o8807]

I think I’d just keep that pieces of wood as-is and stare at it on my desk all day haha.

[@jaredwonnacott9732]

I was going to say that some thing. It hurt a little watching that first cut. The cup is beautiful, but the original block of wood was equally so. I'll take the paper weight.

[@Ripa-Moramee]

@@jaredwonnacott9732 Yes such a huge waste of material as well. Kind of stupid it cost that much though too, but I guess it is very cool.

[@iavon78]

If it were also polished it would be even more protected, with a sparkling beauty and an incredible colour 🤎

[@quattordicimontenapoleone3113]

Agreed.

[@David-jn4fx]

The wood is pure gold 🤩 great grandpa had something out of wood he had. Reminds of our Swiss folks 😍Thanks Jack!

[@JoeyNewman-co3yi]

I'm convinced Jack is a robot. You never see him, and for a human to turn out such precisely beautiful works as he does is beyond comprehension! Love it.

[@buttonman6262]

A wagyu beef wood mug. Nice!👌🏻

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Haha 🤘🏻

[@Bombarded1n]

Awesome Description 😂

[@andrewh3730]

I love this! I think this is the first time I’ve seen a coffee cup made. Thanks for sharing! I guess there’s really no limits of what you can make woodturning.

A spaceship.

[@jaredwonnacott9732]

Maybe there are no limits, but we're a really long way off from someone wood turning a device that's capable of faster than light travel.

[@georgegyulatyan3263]

Man, I can’t even imagine the hours it took to shape it with rasps and even more hours it took to sand this piece! Beautiful! ❤

[@youtubeaccount9058]

I agree!

You can't imagine 3 hours?

[@kristinamariaholmberg1595]

@@JackMackWoodturning I am watching your work from Finland and here the wooden cup is named Kuksa. It is a native Sami cup for every day use.

[@rona8663]

Thanks Jack for another masterpiece. Very beautiful. I shudder a bit every time I see you using the band saw or table saw with those gloves on though. As an ex cabinetmaker, we never ever allowed our employees to wear any kind of glove around machinery. My Dad actually lost two fingers while operating a table saw with gloves on. The glove caught the blade and pulled his hand in.

[@jb9347]

Fear not! They're nitrile gloves: skin tight, so next to no chance of catching and as strong in tension as you'd expect a 0.3mm thick elastic band to be, if they ever did.

[@LuckyTown77]

Wore them 30 years as a mechanic and machinist. Cloth gloves may be a bad idea.

[@jeffmcgrath2202]

Yes Nitrile gloves tear when you look at them

[@michaelburns9172]

Have been a machinist for 50 years and I agree 👍

[@jimromansr9971]

There are those that have not been injured yet using woodworking machinery, and those that are going to.

[@idkidk8278]

Wow that is one purdy piece of wood!! Now it's purdy and functional

[@neonWHALE002]

Beautiful, so fun to watch too. I love all the different applications you can get out of a lathe.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@MarkFraser-s8y]

Finally! A perfect cup worthy of the perfectly roasted/brewed coffee. I've been searching for a mug for many years. Now it seems the goal is clearly presented.

[@Motivate_and_Meditate]

That piece of wood is BEAUTIFUL, really amazing.

[@MrMcTavishOBS]

I think it looks like the menu background from the original doom with all the skulls from hell. Very cool

[@JackMackWoodturning]

😆 it really does ey

[@stigkerstin]

Don't know much about this,but I think it looks like birds-eye maple.

[@djbec375]

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for the great ideas.

[@idkwuisp7626]

Why is everyone complaining about the price? It's not an electric toothbrush, or a car. It's a piece of art. And art is highly subjective. It's worth whatever someone's willing to pay for it. And that's great news for artists like Jack, because there's always gonna be rich people visiting art galleries who would drop a grand on something just because it looks neat. You and me are not the target demographic.

[@ramonagerber317]

A person is going to do something all day why not productively. ???? So it took a lot of sanding some electricity. But it still is not worth a $1000.00 price tag yes the wood is great but look at how much he wasted . Not right to make others make up for it .that was his choice. A good one I must say but still not worth what he is asking for it !!!!!😮

[@LifeofNicholas]

I’ll stick to my $10 coffee cup

[@MrFister84]

Wow check out Mr fancy pants with his $10 coffee cup.

[@seanludolph]

I'm willing to bet your $10 coffee cup, cost less than $1 to make.

[@jaynerichards7527]

So enjoyable to see hand carving skills alongside turning work. What a beautiful piece. ❤

[@gogreenplant]

Absolutely beautiful and worth every cent. Even with the video, it's amazing that some people can't see it. -Even having to resort to being downright rude. Great work.

Looks great. I certainly would never pay $1000 for a coffee cup but for your profession i'm glad there are people out there who will. The question is when will you complete the rest of the dining set? 🤣

$1,000? Who would pay that ? Lovely cup. Birdy

[@TheAshers999]

I was thinking this what makes is $1000 cup has to be clickbait, it's amazing and really well done and unless the wood is extremely rare $1000 wood 🤷‍♂️

[@gcruzatto2]

@@TheAshers999 I mean, it is extremely rare... Personally never seen a burl this dense for sale at this size. Usually these are sold as veneer, no idea how close this one is to 1k (minus other production costs)

Great video, reminded me of a kuksa I made once

[@JackMackWoodturning]

That's cool! Would love to see it

[@Fynn-Victus]

@JackMackWoodturning I actually used it for about ten tears but it did eventually break in half across the cup. I checked but I don't have any pictures but it was made of a pine burl

[@ricwatkins1437]

retty darn good eye there Jack Mack . You are a true artiste . I have no idea what kind of wood it is , but it sure is beautiful . Does not look like anything I have seen in N.W. USA .

[@brendaconner1076]

OMG! You are truly an amazing craftsman.

[@the_junkyard]

Really cool video.. makes me want a lathe.. 👍

[@leegreen9928]

Precious skills Jack thanks for sharing your art. My guess is the wood is a semi petrified fruit or nut tree root... maybe a walnut? I'm not sure though it's ever so lovely what ever it is. Ancient root system.

[@ADogGuy]

I worked as a ferrier assistant for a bit, and one of the things I learned there, is to use the entire rasp in long controlled strokes working on horse hooves, not rubbing against the grooves. I hope this helps with your hand carving.

[@Mrsnichols1965]

It might, if the wood were a hoof.

[@bobhoyer]

Jack, first time watching your YT. Very cool on how you built this coffee cup. I really enjoyed. On the wood, my best guest is Snakewood ... only saw it one time ... never since ... Bob

[@BensGotWood]

My firewood turning projects definitely don’t cost $1000, but they also don’t look as good as this! Nice job.

[@TashfeenBaig-f1h]

BUTIFUL. COFFEE. CUP.❤

[@silent_lucidity67]

I didn't have the patience to watch the whole video, can't even begin to comprehend the patience it took to make this piece, absolutely gorgeous. No way in hell I'd ever put coffee in it though (or any other fluid for that matter). In the last close-up of the interior you could see hundreds of little voids in that wild grain structure.

[@jaredwonnacott9732]

There's probably a finish on the wood that makes it water tight. Also keeps it from rotting or molding or absorbing bits of soggy food floating around with it in the dishwasher. I wouldn't stress about it being able to hold your coffee.

[@shutterlouie4668]

lovely mug!

Hi Jack, this episode came on my Google feed, and like that it did. FANTASTIC workmanship. You make it look easy. My guess on the wood species is snakewood. Cheers!

[@tylerbream8127]

$1000? Beautiful work but $1000? Who would spend $1000 on a wooden mug

[@JackMackWoodturning]

You’d be surprised 😮

[@cavebearking5321]

The main reason why it's so much is because it's burled would, it's what gives the would it naturally shiny and unique appearance. Burled wood is expensive because of how rare it can be and how sought after it is for its beauty. Also because people would literally destroy hundreds of year old trees illegally to get there hands on such an expensive wood, so that they could either sell it, or use it for themselves.

[@marc-etiennemercier6584]

$1,000 feels like a fair price for some genuine craftsmanship. I couldn’t afford it myself but I respect the equipment and years of study/experience it must have taken to produce this. So fun to see the process!

Dude it really isn’t worth 1000 dollars. Took him less than two hours work lol I think it’s just clickbait title. So cheer up buddy, you can afford one, one day

​@MrRobertBatchelor it is worth that much because of the wood it's made from.
