@@WoodWithD I’m very pleased with it. More importantly so is the recipient. If there is a way I’d send a picture. Love the little wood burned detail on the bottom. I used applewood so it’s an apple apple. Thanks.
So, now is a bad time to see this video from years back. i just did my first apples and came accross this instructional video. I'm real impressed with you process to turn the bottom. Brilliant!
Lignum Vitae is a beautiful wood and the piece you selected for this project is outstanding. As is your finished piece. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Hello again Glen. I’m glad you found another of my vids to enjoy. And thank you for your very kind words again sir. As hard as it is work, Lignum I’m one of my more favoured woods - the smell, the weight of the wood, it’s just precious 😊😊👍
Greetings James. It’s wonderful stuff and such variance in density and blacks and browns! You gotta give it a try if ever you get the opportunity! I’m sure you’re already on it, but there loads of vids on my channel where I use it. My favourites would be ‘Holy Big Oak’ and ‘Triptych’ 😁😁😁😁 I look forward to your future comments sir ☺️
I've just happened across your channel. I'm relatively new to wood turning. Used to watch my grandad do it 30 yrs ago. Just got my lathe set up. Only doing basic turning at the moment, hope I can get good enough to try this. Great video, very informative. I was given a turned apple as as trophy at a archery competition as a trophy, love to make myself one .
Greetings Young Ned of The Hill, welcome along. As long as you have the right bit of wood to start with, no reason you can’t make an apple quite easily. There’s plenty of other inspirational videos with full instruction on my channel too! Also consider joining one of the many Woodturning forums on Facebook. Some great help and advice there too! Enjoy 😊 👍👍👍
Surprised you haven’t seen this one sooner. It’s been out for a while and has been so popular compared to other videos. Thank you for your lovely comments 🤗
Lignum Vitae is one of If not THE hardest wood in the world. First time I've seen someone use it and It's so beautiful! Excellent job Sir! Couldn't agree more about learning to and keeping tools sharp before AND during using them.
the olive green timber turned here is actually Argentine lignum, not genuine lignum. Richard has bought some genuine lignum from yours truly and made a fantastic job of turning it into a bowl laminated up with snakewood...
Hi Dick I sent a message ref: trying to get some Lignum vitea you recommended Yandles all ordered I’m skint but I got it so thank you very much, you and Mike Holton do a fantastic job you are both a pleasure to watch, thanks again.
Fantastic Robert! I hope it turns nicely and you make something amazing 👍 it’s expensive, but worth it me thinks! Keep commenting, we love likes and comments 👍👍👍👍😁
I made one in Cherry and carved a bite in it after watching this ,I'll send you picture of the results soon. Cheers you are a true inspiration. Keep up the crazy work my friend
@@WoodWithD thank you, io was hoping the stem would sprout leaves as it was a recently trimmed branch with a bud, i have had a piece burr oak spout little branch and leave after it was once turned wet
@@WoodWithD i have busted ribs at the moment but when i get back at it it's whatever comes out of the paper bags with wood-shavings driest. i'll send you a link to my portfolio soon, thank you for the encouragement it means a lot from a turner as creative as yourself
Not sure if I feel inspired or demoralized...... Seriously, what a truly work of art!!! I hope that some day I will visualize and replicate something as nice as this.
@@davidconaway2830 just reread this post when replying to someone else’s comment. How’s the new (albeit last) lathe? Made anything cool lately? Seen my latest works(videos)?
@@WoodWithD I absolutely love the Harvey T40 and have made a host of small projects thus far. I spend most of my summer outdoors so I haven't tried anything very large or complicated yet, but I know I will enjoy it when I do. Thanks for the reminder about new videos.....I need to catch up
I liked the creativity and learned something about turning an apple, something that's been on my to do list for a bit. All to the good. I couldn't make out much of what you were saying and I wish I could have because I'm pretty sure I missed some pointers there.
Hey Randy, if I’ve still got the video on my system, I’ll jack up the volume on all the talking points and upload it again with a different title noting about increased volume 😁
graet project, i could not hear what you were saying through much of your video.I have hit the subscribed button looking forward to more of your projects.
@@michael-azzopardi hmmmm, first report I’ve had of it. I have friends that watch and analyse my vids as soon as they are up and they are very critical, but not mentioned a volume issue. Is it the same on my other videos for you?
I know, but I wanted something to gild. Everything I do is with some form of gilding addition for my company Moth and Mirror. Mirror representing the gilding 😁
Excellent work all looks great. The bog oak base came Up lovely too. Can see why you like that wood so much. Me and Steve hate the wood shavings from it though when you send us stuff 😂😂
@10:18,,. if you get a thin side and a thick side on your bowl ,,. you need to do the kiss test ,ie headstock center to tailstock center ,,. Regards Alf
Hi Alf, thank you for your comment, my usual cause is my recess or tenon sometimes a little wrong angled or if the wood has cracks and the close slightly with the clamping or expanding. But fir this it works out just fine 👍😁
Hi Robert, if you are UK based, then give Bob a call from Timberline in Tonbridge. Otherwise Yandles have just come into a load of it. Let me know how you get on 👍👍👍
8:54 another fact about Lignum Vitae wood.. It was once used as the bearing material for submarine propeller shafts, due to it's self lubricating properties.
@@yourdrummer2034 most excellent! Now you’ll know when I release a new video 😊👍 Only 1 or 2 a month, not like some makers who seem to put them out every other day! 🤣
This is the best apple tutorial I’ve found. Off to give it a shot. Subscribed. Thanks.
Best of luck, I hope it turns 😮 out stunning, I’m sure it will 😃👍👍👍
How did your apple come out?
@@WoodWithD I’m very pleased with it. More importantly so is the recipient. If there is a way I’d send a picture. Love the little wood burned detail on the bottom. I used applewood so it’s an apple apple. Thanks.
I do like me an apple apple! Feel free to send me a few pics: richard@mothandmirror.com
@@WoodWithD Done.👍
So, now is a bad time to see this video from years back. i just did my first apples and came accross this instructional video. I'm real impressed with you process to turn the bottom. Brilliant!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 na, the only people who care or look at the bottom are other turners! Customers rarely care 🤣🤣🤣
An apple fit for your favorite teacher. I like your technique for the flower end of the apple. Good video. Thanks
🤣🤣🤣 Or not so favourite if you tell them to take a bite!
The flower works on less oily woods so much better! 😁👍
Beautiful work, Richard. Great choice of wood - the grain is stunning.
Thank you Tessa! Let me know when you make your first apple 🍏 😁😁😁😁

Thank you Dennis! I must make another soon 😁
Great video Richard .... very enjoyable, and a beautiful piece at the end.
Hey Mike, that was one the first videos I started making for TH-cam. The editing and the video quality gets a lot better in later videos 😁

It’s amazing how people don’t appreciate the importance of sharp tools! It make ALL the difference from finish to enjoyment of turning! 😁😁😁
This I knew too 😁😁😁
