In this video presentation David Marks shows us his method for turning very large hollow vessels on the lathe right from the start. The scale of this woodturning project is amazing! The blank for this turning project weighed 400 pounds and the tool he used to turn it weighs 125 pounds! David also shares his incredible for secrets quickly drying wood while preventing warping, checking, and cracking.
I met with David in January while he was still in the early stages of turning this huge hollow vessel. His deadline for completing this piece was to have it completed in time for the 30th annual American Association of Woodturner's Symposium. The symposium was in June of 2016 so he only had a few months to get 400 pounds of wet wood turned, dried, finished, and rubbed out and shipped from California to Boston.
The magnitude of this project is much bigger than it appears and it took David over 1000 hours to complete it!
The end result was a true masterpiece. David named the piece Sensei. Sensei means "Teacher" in Japanese and he chose that name because he learned so much from this project.
If you are looking for a showpiece for your living room or your corporate headquarters then you are in luck because remarkably, this piece is still available.
David wrote an extensive and very interesting article about this piece and I strongly encourage you to check it out!
