[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Lol. I just totally forgot about doing a tenon. At least you can see, nothing cut or edited.

Awesome Glenn thank you for a great video

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Thank you Joe.

[@justbeers2320]

Thank you for making this video. I have been trying to make trees look like that but just could not figure how to cut it right to get that look until now.

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Thank you. Glad it helped. That's what the videos are for. The next vids are for baubles.

I definitely feel better now……..Seeing you back off the tailstock before you placed piece in the chuck! I did that same thing the other day …. Got ahead of myself and forgot that one little step 🥴😵‍💫. Do you use guitar strings to burn your accents or regular wire? Good job on the trees 🤠🇨🇱

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Thanks Randy. Forgot to do a tenon. 🤪I use Mig welding wire.

[@lloydglazer2231]

Question: What metal and gauge diameter wire do you use for burnishing? Is it solid wire or braided? I have an 18 gauge piece of braided wire and it’s too small to burn the bottom and both sides. I tried a 12 gauge solid copper wire and it gets way too hot even with handles.

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

At the moment I am using 08 mig welding wire. Yes copper can get hot but that's why I use two coach bolts for handles.

[@lloydglazer2231]

I found braided wire in a bunch of sizes. Never thought of this. Using picture frame wire from Lowes. I purchased several sizes, made handles for them to accommodate all sizes of projects that I work on! Check it out, hope this helps someone too!

[@bobphelan4822]

That's pretty dry... I did one from our fresh tree and then spent two hours with acetone cleaning sap and chips frim my lathe, tools and bench. Never again! 🙄

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

It was cut down over a year ago. We put it in the ground. It went totally brown around July. Wet wood can be a bugger.
