Woodturning... Decorative Plate with Crushed Mussel Shell Inlay

Welcome!
Today's project is a woodturning adventure, using Spalted Chestnut and Walnut and adding some crushed mussel shells as a design inlay element.
I don't claim to be a professional woodworker. If you learn anything from this video and want to try this for yourself, please do so, using the most common sense and caution when it comes to working with power tools and machinery. Also, when being exposed to shell dust, please wear a mask and protective eyewear...it is dangerous.
Thank you for taking the time to view this video. Please subscribe, like and share if you would be so kind! Your support for my channel is very much appreciated and will give me the inspiration and incentive to create more fun project videos in the future to share with you.
Have a wonderful and creative day!

Very cool design. Love the contrasting colors and textures. Thanks

Thank you! I was trying to think outside the traditional box and create something unique...mussel shells are one of nature's beauties!

Such a lovely piece! Thank you for making my morning coffee so enjoyable, and for a good kick of inspiration, too! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos, thank you for making it so easy to understand, and for keeping in the sound of the lathe (so soothing). Keep up the beautiful works! 😉

[@myambitiousart]

Thanks for the compliments! I wish more of my videos had the sounds in, my dust collector is so noisy and sometimes overpowers the other sounds, so I don't always have the sound on. Glad to have you join in on the fun...many more unique ideas coming soon!😊

[@joelspring2487]

nice job! I really like the color of the shells -- it is perfect for the wood you used.

[@myambitiousart]

Thank you very much! Contrast is the key to a good design!

[@skiddytwin4759]

Stunning! I did a similar project last month. The shells were tough to turn, but they are beautiful once done. Nice job!

[@myambitiousart]

Thanks! Would love to see it!

[@bandicoote1964]

Great idea, really nice

[@myambitiousart]

Thank you!

[@glennprovenzano1837]

Nice work

[@myambitiousart]

Thank you!

[@thomasherlihy8670]

Fantastic idea! We’re the shells smooth because they had a layer of CA on top or will they smooth out while being turned? Thanks.

[@myambitiousart]

I think a bit of both. The CA is pretty hard stuff and really enhanced the color of the shells. Thanks for your interest!

[@jankreis9272]

I always knew you were very talented. Is there anything you can't do?

[@myambitiousart]

It's in our blood cousin! Funny but I don't do mechanics...😜

[@jankreis9272]

@@myambitiousart ha! I can wrench on cars. But you have me beat everywhere else!

[@myambitiousart]

Most likely because you haven't tried it yet...you are so capable!

[@johnnuttall1965]

Nice work
