Woodturning: Yellow Birch Pedestal Box

[@RitaD0724]

The yellow birch grain looks like a tiger’s coat. I just love it. These videos are my new obsession. I cannot get enough.

[@zaphodbeeblebrox3986]

I don't know if all yellow Birch looks like this, but that wood is beautiful.

[@Kadamien]

Most yellow birch looks about like this one, they are a beautiful tree

[@martincotterill2132]

It’s fantastic to see that the wood is Spalted. It makes the wood so much more interesting than I think..

[@jaybeliever1479]

I don't think I've ever seen a piece with as many types of finish applied. It really turned out great!

[@DavidAdamsen]

I'll be honest with you, I would never have applied all those finishes if I thought to wood was cooperating. But I think the wood was too wet when I turned it. So, when I had to leave it sit overnight, I made sure there was a thick layer of wax over it. I would probably do it differently now. Cheers!

[@drewharrison6433]

@@DavidAdamsen I'm curious why you finish your projects in stages. Is that just for the video or is there some woodworking reason? I usually finish all in one step at the end.

I like woodworking in general but my favourite is wood turning. In Cyprus we have trees with fantastic grain and shapes and when I start to work on a piece I never know what will be the final product. This is so especially with olive wood where there is hidden beauty. When I watch work like yours I only wonder what would be the result if my wood was in your hands. Magnificent work.
