[@_zhawkeye_9808]

...c'mon, Harry...that's not a fair comparison...I love the shape of the cherry salt pig, but I also love spalted wood...so I had to give a thumbs up on both of 'em... Very well done! Matt

[@brendadriver2702]

I love them both!

[@oldcrowslanding]

Well, they're both extraordinarily beautiful! However, considering space efficiency in my kitchen, I would have to vote for the spalted one, which I did below. Thank you for your work, Harry!

[@lenshandcraftedwoodsigns6033]

The cherry is to unique to ignore.

[@AliKethuda-yu1jo]

wort aaaa

[@mnp1964]

They both look absolutely fantastic Harry

[@wizzlejohnson2205]

Beautiful pieces of wood and workmanship you should be committed showing people God bless

[@amandatallis9875]

I love the pot with lid as i love the spalting wood it has so much character. The salt dish with a lid is unique you made was lovely ànd my favourite the òther ìs great i like the spalting is àwesomè it had nice grain is a nice. Thanks for two amazing items. Amanda x

[@amberallen6046]

WOW, Harry once again you outdid yourself. The one on the left, the cherry one was obviously a true work of art and has my vote. Not to undo the one on the right that was more compact and has its own place. For size, that may be more what some folks would prefer.

Those are for weed.

[@cdrive5757]

Refreshing to see traditional (NO EPOXY RESIN) wood turning! These pieces have natural warmth and beauty that beg to be touched. These are some of the elements that drew me to wood turning 38 years ago. Another beauty of wood turning is we make use of yard trees and cutoffs that are typically discarded. If one has a Grandpa planted tree that came down from storm or other causes, it behooves you to find a Harry Smith (esc) wood turner near by. He or she can help keep Grandpa or Grandma alive for generations. Wakodahatchee Chris

Beautiful! Your work is always outstanding and these items can be used so easily for entertaining or for everyday use on the kitchen table.

[@marycatherinelebouef-op4hf]

Fantastic job! I love them both, yet my favorite is the smaller box because of all the character with the veins of the wood, Burl. Great job! You are very talented and creative! Bravo!

[@Maugirl2]

Both..absolutely stunning :) the smaller round one has the more beautiful pattern due to the wood itself, but i would be overjoyed with either of them!

[@pattigolden1]

The spalted bowl is gorgeous, i love interesting grains, but the other one is so unique.

[@nigelwylie01]

I can see why you had the idea to be radical and combine the cherry and the spalted wood, but I agree with you that it was the right choice to make two projects in the end. Both are stunning. My preference is the cherry one, for several reasons: pure personal preference of colour, but also knowing the peril of the serious risk of a dangerous catch during the turning! Superb job displaying the inner beauty of the grain. Your natural talent shines through this video. Thanks Harry.

[@joesony5196]

super project , i appreciated all the manufacturing process .Thank you for sharing this video.

Beautiful work Harry, but i swear, i need a nervous pill right now!!! Been watching your work long enough to know you know better!!

[@speakeasy6383]

I've done some sketchy crap on my old Craftsman lathe, but I'd never attempt a burl, besides I didn't have many attachments like you. Still remember wood exploding while turning lol. Nice work! I understand the time put in!

[@madeleinegombert661]

I have to say both. Can't decide.❤

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thank you!!! 😊

[@jamescapps4553]

Morw beautiful work. Especially love the end grain on the spalted lid.

[@suepetty9225]

They both look great. The winged one is unique for sure. Nice job.

[@lyndaowen2154]

they both turned out uniquely very cute! I'm not sure which one I like better but for space in my small kitchen, the little round bowl would be best.

[@raymondreid4987]

Beautiful work on both of them.

[@jacquiemouton9053]

Beautiful pieces of work, both of them. Cannot decide although I do love Cherry. Very pretty.

[@hughwolfe1176]

I’ve always loved watching an artist create.

[@rachelfrost7902]

Oh my word I really like them both but the splayed wood looks so beautiful so by a whisker that gets my vote!

[@micktepolt6276]

makes me what to turn my lathe on ! i knew that one was Chery by the bark , chips just get everywhere ,,fun to see you do it i don't have to clean it up ... maybe next summer i'll take it outside, thanks

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

Very nice, but I notice you are using a spindle roughing gouge not a bowl gouge on the outside and to set the form. It worked, but I am curios of your choice as it could bend the tool.

[@woodrabbitworkshop]

spindle roughing gouge can break off at the tang where it meets the handle if you get a catch, potentially sending the metal flying, extremely dangerous

[@jamesdevale8665]

I agree he should not use a Spindle Roughing Gouge it's a bad choice and dangerous and is giving a bad example to inexperienced turners ,it maybe that he is inexperienced him self. James

[@madeleinegombert661]

❤❤❤ I enjoy your videos.

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thank you, Madeleine! Which of the Salt pigs is your favourite? 😁👍

Brillant idea to make a set of dishes with a crotch bowl. The bowl really showed off the grain as well as the other bowl. KEEP ON TURNING 💡👋

I've been a long-time subscriber, Harry, and I love your work. However, this was a hard one for me to watch. Because I couldn't take my eyes off of you turn the insides of each piece with a roughing gouge. Fully anticipating a giant catch that never came... V

[@stephanielovatt2787]

Salt pigs! I never would have guessed! I thought the latger one might have been chips/toast and dips. It surprised me, when you said they were the same thing! Either way, they're both beautiful lidded bowls, with snug lids, suitable for something special. Thanks for showing us!

[@stevescott8655]

According to my wife, who knows these things, those are called salt cellars. I suspect it's a regional thing. She is very much into medieval history, so maybe that's where she got it from. 🙂 Both pieces are quite beautiful!

[@GreenManJEP1]

Wow. Just great.

Love the item made from cherry. Im new to turning, please tell me about the drill bit used to bore out the centre. Thankyou

Suburb workmanship !! Thanks for the inspiration to try new things too !!! Please keep new videos coming, soon. I noticed when I first came across your KZbin channel that you wear gloves while turning. I'm just getting started using a lathe & I've heard it is not safe to wear gloves. Is this true, or is it more of a personal choice ? I'm thinking it would help to protect your hands & give a better grip on the turning tool being used, any thoughts from your perspective ? Thanks, David WoodWorking Made Simpler Ada, MI

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thanks for the comment, David! It's really down to personal choice, I wear them and have ever since I started turning. However, people say it's dangerous as you can get pulled into the machine, but this is much more likely with metal lathes. I like to wear them as the protect my hands, I used to cut them all the time. On another note make sure you vote which of the pigs you like the most in my poll in the comments 😁👍

[@rona8663]

Really beautiful pieces. Hard to watch you make ‘em though while wearing those gloves. Gloves have caused a lot of wood working accidents as I used to own a large cabinet shop. Good luck though.

Using a spindle roughing gouge like that is even scarier.
