woodturning - birch crotch

turning live edge crotch bowl....or double live edge..?

[@stewartmills8595]

Very beautiful. I love birch and the way grain pops.

[@andreweastwood862]

What a fantastic piece of wood, and you turned it beautifully. Thank you

[@jarkko.makkonen]

Thanks for watching!

[@user-rg9jd5ws1m]

Great pointer at 9:25 Other videos would remove it. This is a great reminder on how It can grab so quickly. Great final product. 😎🇦🇺😉

[@jarkko.makkonen]

Thank you! it grabs without question!!..

[@scottblair8625]

Normally not a fan of the live edge.This is a happy and beautiful exception! Love the way you left the original shape flat plate incorporated into bowl. Super cool idea!

[@jarkko.makkonen]

thanks a lot! ill try my best to do things bit differentely

[@petermach8635]

Gosh ..... first time I've seen a Record woodturning lathe in all the videos I've watched, I used to hanker after one of them when I bought handtools in Buck and Ryan's on Tottenham Court Road. Excellent, thank you !

[@jarkko.makkonen]

Thank for watching!

[@dennismoyer6696]

Very well done. You showed me a different design with this piece and I'm always looking for something different and this is beautiful.

[@jarkko.makkonen]

thank you! ill try my best to figure out different designs and shapes, sometimes it work sometimes it wont.

[@alanmiller4012]

That's beautiful. I love the creativity you show in turning this piece.

[@jarkko.makkonen]

Thank you Alan!

[@Andreas_Achleitner]

You are doing a great job

[@timponder7487]

Very unique and a beautiful piece ❤️

[@007tallguy]

Nice!! That spalting really adds character to this piece! 👍

[@JuanPerez-ek8wd]

wow, that was such a good video.. the grain on this piece is fantastic, the final shape turned out great and the finish came out great too.. but I love all that spalting and grain... thank you for sharing..

[@jarkko.makkonen]

Thanks a lot!

[@pjseiber2774]

Beautiful wood and excellent craftsmanship. Very unusual bowl. Great work 👏

[@michiganmoto7687]

Nice piece of spalted birch. Made a beautiful bowl. 👍

[@myspiderungoliant]

Oooh, the spalting on this piece is fantastic.

[@katzeyez06]

Such a beautiful piece, the wood is exquisite.

[@jimsmalleimb7709]

What a unique and interesting piece! I've never seen anything like it!

An important safety tip for all - A cup live centre is much safer than a point centre.

[@blushingmushroom1949]

Great concept which turned into a beautiful design and a spectacular result.

[@douglasmayes-coventry9673]

Very different approach and result from a crotch piece. Will approach the pieces I have in my wood shed in an alternate way in the future. Keep up the thought provoking videos. Doug in South Australia.

[@jarkko.makkonen]

Thanks Doug. ill try my best!

[@lyndarocha8846]

I had no idea birch markings went all the way thru. Very unique and beautiful piece.

[@jarkko.makkonen]

Thank you!👍

[@joseromeroallio445]

Muy lindo diseño, permite destacar las bellas líneas oscuras de la veta. Felicitaciones!

Beautiful piece!! Nice job!!

[@jarkko.makkonen]

Thank you Scott!

[@SteveBCCrabb]

That is a pretty cool treatment of a turning blank... I'll have to remember that one.

[@mariemamard4566]

Superbe travail et belle réalisation

[@roadrunner4404]

A new twist on bowl design. New to me anyways. I will definitely imitate thos soon. Kudos

[@jarkko.makkonen]

Thanks! I would love to see the end result of that👍

[@paraflightjoe1053]

Awesome performance.....

Отличная работа ! Тоже точу шпальтированную берёзу , из за поражения грибком она очень преображается .

[@TheMtpghost]

Pretty cool :-) Nice Design and very pretty spalted wood :-) big love :-)

[@jarkko.makkonen]

Thank you very much!

[@jimyost2585]

About ten years ago I gave a chunk of Osage Orange to a friend of mine who is an experienced bowl maker, and he said that as he tried trimming the piece down that small chunks flew off and left cavities that made it even harder to deal with on the second pass, so that he gave up on it. Osage Orange is the hardest wood growing in north America.But I bet if someone could make a bowl out of it that it would last for 1000 years.

[@user-up7ru2bf9z]

МОЛОДЕЦ!!!👍👍👍

[@andrewhoward7200]

Art.

[@donaldtemple8090]

Great piece, loved the shape. I had a hard time seeing what you were going for but turned out great. Kind of an emerging bowl. What was finish?

[@jarkko.makkonen]

Thanks for commenting. danish oil and some polishing wax.

[@Ivan_Baev_45]

Супер работа.👍

[@michaelfelixb1316]

Sehr schön 🤩 gefällt mir sehr gut.👌

[@Halscamp]

Good catch of the crotch lol and nice work

[@gavanwhatever8196]

9:54 I was expecting blood. I actually winced when the chisel jumped forward.

[@jarkko.makkonen]

Actually i scared my self in that point but no blood on sight!

[@dadada9308]

Хорошая работа!

[@roberthortin5357]

A beautiful piece. Well done. What finish did you use?

[@jarkko.makkonen]

Thank you! danish oil and some wax.

Wow..Impressive

[@silvanobroccardo933]

Beautiful

[@WarEagleHB]

Question: if I put something that non-symetrical on my lathe it would wobble so terribly that it may fall over (or at least walk across the shop). How do you make it turn so true with a non-round blank?

[@jarkko.makkonen]

Good question. i have lots of weight under the benchtop helping to keep lathe stable. that piece was not that non-symmetrical what it looks. litlle bit tweaking between centers while belt is off(easy to find sweetspot when belt is off).

[@WarEagleHB]

@@jarkko.makkonen got it. Thanks for the reply and great work!

[@OldMtnGeezer]

Nice. Very nice!

[@whocares0692]

Wow, absolutely beautiful, How long was the total time in turning this piece of art ? ///// Vau, aivan kaunista, kuinka kauan tämän taideteoksen kääntämiseen kului aikaa?

[@jarkko.makkonen]

hard to say. filming takes so much time along with work. Maybe it took about 15-20 hours to do this project, including editing and filming. I don't take the time though when this is just a hobby.

[@stevesyncox9893]

Cool

[@louisjcharlett5804]

beautiful

[@petricabistricean1806]

Super tare 👍👍👍👍💡

[@raydriver7300]

That’s different and I like different 🌞

[@olofdahlstedt9918]

Nice work. How big pieces can you fit in the lathe. Never seen that brand before. And what kind of engine does it have?

[@jarkko.makkonen]

Thanks! 12*36 inches or 30*90cm between centers. headstock swiveled 15 inches diameter manufacturer tells. and it have 450w motor and 3 speeds 450 950 2000 rpm. good lathe but i am dreaming to get someday bigger and more powerful lathe.

[@olofdahlstedt9918]

@@jarkko.makkonen my dream is a robust sweet 16. But the american doesnt know what real engines are. I want a 3phase on 400v

[@jarkko.makkonen]

that would be great lathe. i have too 3phase 400v avaible if i find that kind of lathe.

[@richardschneider4775]

nice work what is it for now ?

[@jarkko.makkonen]

just a decorative object.

[@alfpacino1813]

Maestro!!

[@user-kq3vv8tk8w]

Красиво!!!

[@ernstboyd8745]

if its balanced when it is mounted and then you cut way part of it doesn't it get unbalanced and start shaking?

[@ernstboyd8745]

maybe the operator can suppress the unbalancing by knowing where to cut and in which order or could you mount some kind of adjustable weights on it??

[@jarkko.makkonen]

have to feel where to cut and wich order to keep plank balanced. this plank of birch thankfully was pretty balanced start to finish ! always it is not that easy.

[@ernstboyd8745]

@@jarkko.makkonen It sounds like it is something that would not be easy for a beginner if it was an odd shape. Probably a beginner should get some experience wood turning on more or less symmetrical pieces first.

[@jimwheeler9840]

Is "birch crotch" a painful condition? 😁 Seriously, I LOVE the pattern and the very unique way you used this piece of wood!

[@jarkko.makkonen]

it is quite hollowed.. Thank you jim!

[@robbrown6667]

Now that's different

[@msudawgma]

Heart shaped; fitting, she's beautiful.

[@stevedoolanTacoma]

Awesome project. I'm going to give you some advice even though you don't know me, and you didn't ask. Set the piece turning and then look through the camera. If it's blurry slowly change the lathe speed until it clears, this might take a few tries. If the picture is clear, it will be much more enjoyable to watch, and you will gain more subscribers. I have just subscribed to your channel, and I hope you are not offended by this comment. 😎

[@jarkko.makkonen]

Thanks for commenting! this lathe have only 3 speeds 500 1000 or 2000. hard to turn slowly speed =D my camera gives me bad times or i cant use it properly. i struggle lot of with filming.but learning always something new with every project. And thanks for subscribing ill try to keep getting better videos to watch!

[@unclemonty9506]

A bench lathe on a wobbly bench. How tf did you turn that without the lathe turning somersaults?

[@jarkko.makkonen]

lots of weights under the benchtop. I have planned to get a sturdier lathe but until then this will be enough

[@stevebrakefield1287]

It is a nice piece, but think I would cut it side to side, top to bottom for two blanks. A lot of good wood was wasted. |||

[@jarkko.makkonen]

Sometimes you have to sacrifice wood to make an idea come true.

Kaunista koivua, juuria sopivasti sieni värjännyt raitoja. Hieman arveluttaa itseä tuo muoto, mutta hieno kulho joka tapauksessa.

[@jarkko.makkonen]

kiitos! joo hienoa puuta oli ei ollu lahonnu vielä pahasti. ensi kerralla erilaisella muotoilulla👍

[@j.s_cabin]

@@jarkko.makkonen muotoilu on tekijän näkemys. Mielestäni aivan sama mitä mieltä muut, vaikka mainitsinkin asiasta. Onko puutilanne helpottunut? Sorvattavaa löytyy?

[@jarkko.makkonen]

aivan totta. vaa en silti kahta samanlaista tekis. on mulla jonkun verran aihioita mut ei tietenkää ikinä liikaa oo..

[@keithkimsten5111]

👍👍👍🍻

[@philipinchina]

That really is a bit different. I like watching these wood turning videos but why don't you try doing something that isn't a wooden bowl?

[@jarkko.makkonen]

thanks for commenting! i will try my best to do things what no one have seen ever but it isnt easy. I have a few projects in mind as long as I find the suitable blanks.. stay tuned!

[@philipinchina]

@@jarkko.makkonen How about a desk lamp? A set of chess men? You are far more talented than I am but a bit of variety???

Ohh.. Birch crotch. I read that so very wrong. hahaha.
