Woodturning - Spalted Silver Birch log to bowl.

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ค. 2024
- Hello and welcome! In this video I take a spalted sliver birch log and make a curvy bowl on the woodturning lathe.
I originally got this wood in April 2021 and it had been sat under a cover until October 15th when I prepared and sealed this blank. The plan was to set it aside again and wait a little longer for the piece to dry out some more but.. after seeing the spalting I couldn't wait any longer so here it is.
Shaped and sanded to outside to 320 grit, sealed with Chestnut Product's Cellulose Sanding Sealer and polished up with Yorkshire Grit Original and Microfine. The inside was sanded and coated with flaxseed oil.

Bit of spalted Silver Birch? Lovely!
Yes sir! Thanks Dave 😃

What can I say mate; yet another beauty. I do like mega-Forstner bit you started the hollowing with. Hoo-weee! Now I know what I want for Christmas! Cheers mate, great job as always.
Thanks Mark! Yeah it's a great bit, I have a set of them up to this one at 65mm. Here I think I ran the 30mm down it first then the biggen 😃 Cheers mate!
Nice one, Tim! I like the shape and the spalting is awesome!
Thanks Billy, still one of my favourite shapes this, it's like a bowl that swallowed a frisbee and it got stuck!

Nice one
Thanks mate!
Very nice
Thank you so much!
Très jolie travail bravo 👍👏🇨🇭
Thank you Denis! 😃
Beautiful piece my friend
Thank you Barry, much appreciated!
We cut down a bit of our hawthorn hedge on Monday and as I was throwing it into the skip I thought, 'I really should be sending this to Pog.' But I didn't. Oh well.
Never mind, it's the thought that counts and besides, it would have cost a small fortune to send that over here!!haha Thanks for watching my friend!
I was checking out the backdrop.
Oh the bowl is beautiful, but im just looking at the whole picture.
Thanks for watching. The backdrop as in the walls of my workshop?
Great job neighbour Tim, lol. I have some Birch but doubt it would turn out as good.
Cheers buddy! You never know, might surprise you. This one wasn't much to look at from another log until I cut into it. Thanks for watching!
Great piece of work Tim... beautiful piece of wood... definitely ended up in the right hands...stay safe...press on buddy 😎 Joe...by the way...who makes the chuck with the changeable jaws
Thanks Joe, much appreciated! 😁 I use an Axminster chuck, SK100. Super handy for switching between the dovetail, pen and Cole jaws. Cheers bud!
what a cool bowl, what kind of wood is this. greetings always healthy
Thank you so much! This piece is made from the silver birch tree.
Good job! Great! Wish all the best to you! Let's chat together
Thank you for watching and the kind words. 😁
Thats a very nice piece mate. i also realy like the forstner bit; where did you get it ?
Cheers Andy, much appreciated! It's a Milwaukee set of 5 I picked up a few years ago, 29mm --> 65mm. They have removable threaded spike centres too so if you take it out it leaves a flat bottom with no poke hole, worth every penny!
What kind of drill or cutter is that…..great work a great piece
Thanks so much! To remove the bulk from the middle? I'm using a Jacobs chuck with a Forstner drill bit (65mm I think). Thanks for watching.
