[@renierbonthuyzen9703]

Fantastic job well done. Subbed because of this video.

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

Great. Cheers. I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@HonestReflections3000]

In each of your Red Kite Videos I am always curious as to what type of wood is being used. This really turned out great.

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

Sorry. I’m be sure to add this in moving forward. Red kite has been on pause for a bit but it’s coming back strong from next week. Il be sure to include wood type moving forward

[@Audie1234]

Beautiful goblet...that grain is quite striking ❤

[@stewartmills8595]

Extremely beautiful. Love the design and the way the rain pops.

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

Have you turned much Apple?

[@ericeinsmann5559]

Awesome! I too would like to know how you intend to dry it and keep it from cracking.

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

It’s dry in the finisjed pictures. Green turning takes a while to learn but to boil it down to a simple point. Consistently thick walls, good grain orientation and selection of very green wood without pre-existing cracks is all essential. It’s these points that cause cracking. When you understand it it’s very simple to turn finished green pieces that do not crack.

[@dcmsr5141]

Great work, I subbed!!

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

Much appreciated. I post videos twice a week. Always happy to hear your opinions. Nice to have you on board 👍🏻

[@edwarddolphin9123]

Beautiful

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

Thanks

[@sherrithompson6524]

Love goblets add looped rings with lots of knots or burl they pop!

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

Do you turn many ?

[@sherrithompson6524]

I haven't lately I had both knees done this last yr just getting back on my feet but can't wait to start turning again. I Love It!!!

[@LakeErieWoodturner]

Wow!

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

Good wow ?

[@nordpowerSPB]

Какая порода дерева?

[@raymargo9978]

I would love to know about the hollowing tool you used in this video

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

That is a ring tool, it’s predominantly used for hollowing end grain vessels. There are many manufacture make them. They are slightly difficult to sharpen but excellent once you get the hang of them.

[@JD-xg3ek]

This is a lovely piece. It looks to be a green piece of wood. If so what are you going to do to dry it so that it doesn’t crack

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

I’m not going to do anything to dry it. The things that stop it cracking as it dries were done during turning. Thin consistent wall thickness. Selections very green wood with no pre existing cracks Considered grain orientation. The finished pictures (white background) are taken 6 weeks after the piece was made with 6 coats of pure tung oil and the pieces is bone dry. 👍🏻

[@paulbenn2903]

Where’s the hollowing tool from please

[@judyplumley4513]

Good Job

[@oldcharlie5533]

Nice..you never know what's inside a log.

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

It’s amazing isn’t it

[@DennisDolan-fl3mw]

what are you finishing it with?

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

Most of my pieces are finished with pure tung oil. It’s by far my favourite finish. What do you use ?

[@colinmacdonald404]

Thanks 👍 Can you tell me what wood type it is? Looks great. Cheers

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

Thanks this is a piece of apple wood

[@colinmacdonald404]

Thanks for letting me know. Have a great day. Cheers

[@donovanbailey4398]

Nice project. Advice...anyone watching a turning video wants to know 1) what type of wood is being turned; 2) what the artist used as a finish. Thanks!

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

Cool, you only need to ask and il tell you. Apple, and pure tung oil 😉

[@beverlym5465]

Very nice, although I don’t care for the stem. Beautiful wood grain.

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

Thanks buddy

[@keithomilak3693]

Relatively new turner here... For those who dont know, the vibrant colors occur during the oxidation process of growth/decay. They eventually fade, but the fading is slowed by applying new layers of UV resistant clear coat every 6-12 months. As you could imagine though, the process is sped up if the piece is consistently exposed to sunlight for long periods of time. Eventually, the colors will all turn grayscale. Beautiful piece, and easily deserving a like!

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

Hi Keith. This information above is incorrect. I don’t mean to be rude. But you should seek to learn from credible sources. I have pieces I turned 22 years ago that hold the same colour they had originally with only an oil finish. I have furniture that’s over 200 years old that are not “grey scale”.

[@Scmd37]

Looks to be poison ivy vines on the outside of that log hope it didn't cause you any problems.

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

It’s not poison ivy. Just ivy. I’m in the uk 👍🏻

[@georgeallen3547]

Sounds wet?

[@justaman5490]

That looks like poison ivy to me.

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

It’s not.. but it is ivy. 😉

[@garyjohnson9297]

Another " Watch Me Turn this video" No naration What wood did you use What tool did you use to hollow and how to present the tool to the work What products were you applying , oil ,abrasive paste. Wax? Why didn't you remove the stub of the branch with saw ? Didn't learn anything from you , sorry

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

It seems lime you are hear for free tuition.. this is an entertainment video. Lots of channels here for learning Woodturning, thought I will tell you you would be better off reading some good books and actually standing at the lathe making shavings. 👍🏻

[@vernowens5375]

Please consider clamping or blocking a round log in a jig before you do a crosscut on the bandsaw. You got lucky there it that it did not get grabbed by the blade and roll forward. If that happens there is no way you can control it and then bad things happen!!

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

I definitely think that if YOU think you “can’t control it” and “bad things” will happen. then you absolutely should mess on with jigs. Iv personally been doing this a very long time and it’s my active decision to do it this way after weighing up many known factors. I’m more than happy to talk you through it if you’d like.

[@MrErViLi]

I hope you're not allergic to poison ivy too bad. That ivy you peeled off and cut through was poison ivy. And it's still viable even dead like that.

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

No, it was Hedera (common ivy) not poison ivy.

[@MrErViLi]

@@RedKiteWoodturning oh! It looked just like poison ivy with all those little tendrils coming off it. My mistake.
