Ken having watched this craftsman at his lathe I can really appreciate and respect your passion and zeal. Not to mention of cause his ability with the use of his cutting tools. He must be his own saw doctor.

[@subramanianiyer2731]

Nice job brother. Like from Mumbai, India.

[@GaryGlass-DriftwoodTurner]

Beautifully done Ian. I think pine is very under rated, you find some stunning grain patterns in it as you've just demonstrated. Condolences on the loss of your father.

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Cheers Gary! Hope you’re doing well mate

[@lyndaowen2154]

That turned out exceptionally beautiful

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Ian, Sorry to hear of your loss, my sincere condolences. Beautiful piece Ian and a very clever way of hollowing and then disguising the method of hollowing. Great work mate. Take care Ian. Cheers, Huw

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Cheers Huw! Yeah I thought I’d like to get it quite thin and didn’t have the time to try and do it in one piece, this was a good alternative and kept it looking nice. Hope you’re well my friend.

Very nice outcome! I like the way you disguised that this piece was turned in two sections. I would have preferred that you had stopped the lathe more frequently so that I could see your progress.

[@m3rrys0ngstr3ss]

So sorry to hear about your dad. What did you end up doing with the branches you cut at the beginning?

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Thank you for your kind words, to be honest I have piles of sticks and bits and pieces of wood, I do use some but I could probably do with a log burner for a lot of them

[@howardpaulhudson2297]

Awesome

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Thanks mate

[@mikeknoke3594]

I’m not a wood turner but I sure do enjoy watching your videos. The Color and form of this piece is fantastic. I’m curious as to how dry the timber is before you turn it. Some of the pieces look covered in green moss so they can’t be too dry. Once turned how do you keep them from not splitting and cracking?

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Hey Mike! Thanks for your comment mate, truthfully some pieces from videos can crack and warp but certain types of wood seem to hold their shape perfectly like this pine & Leylandii. We’re looking at building/buying a wood kiln shortly so it shouldn’t be an issue in the future.

[@barryerdman6285]

Really nice work. Like the method you used to hollow it out. I would have liked to see the piece transform in the lathe in the stopped footage as the branches disappeared. I am surprised that the pine smoothed out so well being so knotty. Great work.

[@waltwhybrewwoodworking]

Beautiful

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Cheers mate!

[@jonperley7304]

Cool!!!👍

[@louisjutras1]

I have some questions for you: why do you use dipoxy? Is it because you like it better as a finish to your piece, or does help against warping and cracking when the wood dries? These might be absolutely silly questions, keep in mind I am an absolute noob at this !

[@IanMacWoodturning]

I used Dipoxy just for a clear finish on this one! It definitely can be useful for stiffing up wood though and helping prevent cracking.

[@RahJah1]

Great work! When you start carving, do you carve for size or to get down to the better part of the wood?

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Usually I turn to get it to a useable piece. I appreciate your comment mate!

[@jojobinx]

As always, I am in awe of the work you produce. It is truly exceptional.

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@Rob-Benny-Hill]

Was my fathers (now passed) hobby. He spent days in his workshop. It was sad seeing him slip slowly into dementia. I bought him a ton of wood. Beautiful wood. And he just couldn't turn anymore. He forgot how. Was very sad to be sure. Hes in a better place now turning and enjoying himself Im sure. Nice job you did here sir. Dad would have loved to have watched and picked up tips.

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Ahh sorry to hear that Rob, dementia is a hard thing for a family to deal with. We’ve had family members with it too, terrible disease. You have your memories of you father & that’s what matters, hope you’re doing okay mate.

[@darrenthompson6115]

Ian, a nice piece. What was the reason for cutting the top of and then gluing it back on? Was for ease of hollowing out?

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Exactly that Darren, if I had more time I would have hollowed it without parting it but I was on a tight schedule

[@timboyle5424]

Love your vids. What was the total elapsed time from start to finish? Not counting things like drying time.

[@IanMacWoodturning]

@@timboyle5424 Hey Tim, really appreciate your comment mate! I would say actual time to make it, sand, finish etc was around 12-15 hours but we didn’t have a great deal of free time

Très jolie pièce félicitations. J'aimerais essayer la protection d'une pièce comme vous le faites à la résine. Est-ce qu' il suffit juste de passer une couche de résine au pinceau comme vous le faites et de poncer une fois sec ?? où y a-t-il encore une autre chose après ! en vous remerciant d'avance. Christophe

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Hey Christopher, I’d say a couple of coats may be better, if the resin is all level and smooth then you may not need to sand it but generally I do. Thanks for your comment!

Beautiful piece, and great artistry and craftsmanship. Presume the original knot whorl block was pre-seasoned so it didn't wind up subsequently cracking.
