[@gazzythomas]

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!

[@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!

[@AnyColorYouLikeBro]

You can't imagine 3 hours?

[@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.

[@Golden_God_Untethered]

Doors

[@DBCOOPER888]

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.

[@Life.of.Nicholas]

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

I watched a lot of your videos but this coffee cup is gorgeous 👌🔝

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks

[@Motivate_and_Meditate]

That piece of wood is BEAUTIFUL, really amazing.

[@idkidk8278]

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

[@stigkerstin]

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

[@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.

[@SaltySRT]

I'm getting Wagyu marbling vibes from the block.

[@Motivate_and_Meditate]

Yes, exactly 💯

[@lisahodges8299]

$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 🤷‍♂️

[@GuilhermeCruzattoDaSilva]

@@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)

[@Madi_Ernar]

@@TheAshers999 Man, once i saw the wood, i knew that he wasn't joking about $1000.

[@AchillesWrath1]

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? 🤣

[@jaynerichards7527]

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

[@codeblaze3]

Ah yes that first sip in the morning as you stare introspectively into the screaming souls of the dead

[@JackMackWoodturning]

How did you know my morning routine?

[@gregmason2208]

Great work and beautiful wood.

[@krevin543]

Beautiful mug! ☕️

[@Sidama2002]

So beautiful that is expertly completed! Simply Wow!!

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks buddy

[@RenaLarson61]

Absolutely beautiful grain on this piece, I'd enjoy a nice cup of tea in that

[@lyndadennin7471]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing 😉

[@antoinettestookey8747]

That wood is absolutely beautiful. I can understand why it’s so prized. Wow. Ya done good, son.

[@manorth24]

I love the smell of working with Thuya!

[@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]

for a unique handcrafted mug? some would pay a lot more

[@tylerbream8127]

Perhaps you did. 😉

[@copperowlwoodturning5929]

Beautiful coffee cup, Jack. I would definitely drink coffee out of it. 😊😊

[@yeehaa82]

You’re super talented brother. What an amazing skilled trade!!! One of a kind. Thank you.

[@KevinRehm-b1l]

I still don't see why it's $1000 that seem ridiculous

[@lotsoftats7620]

The piece of wood was probably half or more of the cost.

[@Mechabjornis]

Hope he saved the wood chips. They are probably worth at least $500

[@camdenfurry5187]

It's the wood type. The labor only accounts for probably 150 bucks

[@speakingout6345]

It’s for the views, we are here now.

[@bruceleroy8063]

If I asked you to produce that piece of wood you'd quickly want more than $1k

[@AGRIV8TD1963]

Excellent technique and professional use of tools!

[@ceciliadaniels98]

Fabulous. My guess, Buckeye Burl.

[@buttonman6262]

A wagyu beef wood mug. Nice!👌🏻

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Haha 🤘🏻

[@Bombarded1n]

Awesome Description 😂

[@MarrockV]

I don't know what that wood is other than gorgeous...

[@petershipman7314]

Stunning piece , the wood grain is amazing 🎉❤

[@bigdougr.6261]

Would love to know what wood you used to value the piece at $1,000. But it is nice, good job

[@efcefc-gu5dg]

Looks like thuya burr

[@BensGotWood]

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

[@darrylbuckett5380]

No instant coffee in that cup, only the good stuff. Cheers

[@waynesilva3129]

Lots of talent in this world.

[@LegendOfMithras]

lovely cup, it turned out beautifully! it looks like amboyna burl.

[@GiannaFiore]

That was my answer too! I don't know if we're right.

[@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.

[@УалиМаг]

ОРЕХ ИЛИ СУВЕЛЬ ИЗ БЕРЁЗЫ, ещё ТОПОЛЬ напоминает. Работа супер)

[@Woodturning_sepehr]

You are a first class woodturner❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@pg234forreal]

mmmm. Thuya Burl.... I can smell it, love it

[@JackMackWoodturning]

😉

[@a2miler]

This is beautiful but I winced when you stuck your hands into a running lathe with a part on one side and a hard steel part on the other.

[@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.

[@freyadixon8010]

Great job, but gotta admit for a moment. I was wondering where you were going with it 😅

[@JackMackWoodturning]

I thought the title was pretty self explanatory 😉

[@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.

[@pmpackrat8579]

That wood block looks like a nicely cooked cube of wagyu beef

[@kenney8656]

Nice cup!

[@5minuteturnings]

Beautiful Coffee cup

[@archanapatel8102]

Beautiful!!!!

[@ericmalmstrom4840]

WICKED COOL.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks

[@montymc450]

I wish i had stacks of cash. I would be your top customer. Im a retired diesel mechanic/ metal machinist and my savings went to getting Dutch residency. Totally enjoy your channel

[@TaneKarnes]

I do have an idea for the cut off. Hollow out more to shape u want, fill cavity with foam, keeping flat sides. It will be easy to dig out. Make form for epoxy pour. Would make a beautiful flat sided vase. (some sanding required) Hate to see that go to waste. I do some wood carving by hand, and tend to look for abstract or odd shapes 😃 Thank you for your videos. Work is inspiring, drooling over that wood.

[@oneminer]

One very beautiful hand made coffee ☕️

[@Dsports1980]

That thumb hyperextension though...

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Yep… bendy thumbs.. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Portokali88]

It's amazing how much you can ask for something when you make it wearing black gloves

[@motog4-75]

If thats thuya wood, it smells amazing.

[@DavidBird-uu8km]

Very nice a beautiful piece of wood.

[@richardknowles9212]

My eyes would be too full of tears to cut into that. Congratulations... you turned a remarkably beautiful piece of wood into an ugly cup....well done

[@budgieboy52]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@wickedcabinboy]

Purty good looking cup. But anyone who would pay $1,000 for it has too much money on their hands. That thing wouldn't even hold a full cup of coffee.

[@jimwatson2962]

Stunning and very clever . Looks like it will be an expensive coffee cup though , Thuya Burl ? How permeable is it to liquid and did you use just Danish Oil on the surface ? 👏👏👏

[@TheParkAttendant]

I have no idea what the wood is. All I can tell is it's very hard, very dense, beautiful and rare. It's a fantastic cup to sip coffee out of.

[@TashfeenBaig-f1h]

BUTIFUL. COFFEE. CUP.❤

[@Fynn-Victus]

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

[@efcefc-gu5dg]

Looks like thuya burr? Like the best piece I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a lot

[@davidpickens3117]

I love the way the cup came out, Jack. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@dobriltanev9722]

beautiful.

[@daithi48]

It’s a work of art. With a spare grand lying around, I’d buy it 😊 But not for coffee! Coffee tastes better out of porcelain 😊

[@sopdfsopdfiopsd]

$20 in bali

[@JamesSpeiser]

fantastic

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thank you so much 😀

[@WalkerO-dp8jq]

this looks a lot like Thuya burl, I've worked with it before with similar outcomes to the finish on this cup

[@moungermax9923]

$1000 for 12 minutes worth of work. Not bad, not bad at all!

[@lolcec81]

Классная чашка🎉

[@the_junkyard]

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

[@holyhayn]

I'm going to guess, Mappa Burl. I'm not sure but fingers crossed. Great job!

[@sharlenejohnson9987]

beautiful!!!

[@alansimpson596]

The wood is thuya and this piece comes from the root of the thuya tree mainly found in North Africa. Great piece of craftmanship.

[@MrHugo9397]

It does look like it, thuya won't let oil finish cure though

[@pathardage1880]

absolutely stunning. thank you.

[@maec7391]

i was waiting for you to slather it in epoxy

[@webhjem]

Very nice Cup😊

[@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.

[@Michael-loves-woodgrain]

Thuja Burl ? Brilliant work

[@mdaley3102]

That came out great, nice job.

[@smellyvalley]

Feel sorry for the person that paid a bag of sand for a coffee cup

[@jpadv4157]

Just for all the "educated folk" in the comments who question its value. Art is worth whatever someone will pay. Have you seen paintings that have gone for millions that look like a 7 year old painted them? A. YES YOU HAVE! "Point taken"!
