Woodturning - A Black Cherry Log
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2024
- Welcome back to Ian Mac Woodturning! In today's woodturning video I decided to have another go at woodturning some Cherry & tried a new method of applying black spirit dye to the wood to accentuate the grain.
In these more natural woodturning pieces I am trying to experiment a little with turning techniques and ideas to make the outcomes a little more unique so if you have any ideas I am happy to hear them!
I appreciate all the support on my woodturning videos and if you're interested in any of my other platforms here are the links:

Hi Ian, I am a retired, disabled former Senior Master of Art from South Australia where I majored in Sculpture (mainly wood), Design, Graphics & a few others. This is a beautiful piece of Cherry. I am glad that you did not turn all the natural 'imperfections' away, using the black spirit dye was new to me but you certainly were right that it would accentuate the grain. It is a superb finish you have achieved on this stunning piece. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
Thanks Don! I appreciate your kind words. We didn’t know if the dye would work but we were really glad that it did!
Nice piece Ian you almost lost me when you blacked it all out but I kept on watching and you sanded most of it off which made that lovely grain pop and high lighted the knots really makes this a stunning piece well done and two thumbs up thank you for sharing this piece with us
Cheers Wade! The original plan was to keep it black but it didn’t look right when we’d done it so once we’d sanded it down it looked a lot better! Thanks very much for your comment mate.
Amazing! I was worried when I saw the black 'paint', but the dye really brought out the grain.
Thanks Barbara!
When you first put that black color on the piece I was saying to myself “OH NO!!! But it’s beautiful!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous!! Fabulous work!
Beautiful. The black really added to the character in the wood.
Cheers Rich!
Ian, this is a beautiful lidded vase/urn/show piece. Love the outside with the painting and sanding, really does bring out the grain
Thank you for sharing!
❤🙃
Thanks Dotty!
Beautiful piece
beautiful lidded vase.. i like it!
Thanks Eduardo!
Thank you for sharing. Result is beautiful.
Gorgeous
Very nice. I couldn't understand why you would use black stain, but the finished effect looks beautiful. Well done
Cheers mate!
Very pretty. Not gonna lie though, I freaked out a little when you stained it black.
A real beauty.
Thanks Tony!
Wow, love it! Impressive workmanship. Have a Great Father's Day!
Thank you very much! You have a great day too!
Hi Ian, I absolutely love this piece. The way the black stain brought out the grain is fantastic. Great video mate. Take care. Cheers, Huw
Thank you very much Huw! I’m happy with how this one turned out. Hope you’re well mate.
Ian, nice job! Looks aged and spalted. My undo suggestion would be to accent the live bark red to match the interior. I recently made a coffee cup using the same colors and was surprised how well it came together.
Might give it a go next time! Thanks for the suggestion mate’
Art.
Very nice! Interesting how you left just a spot of the bark. Adds character, imo. Very attractive piece of craftsmanship.
Thank you very much.
Looks great 👍
Cheers bud!
Beautiful work, Ian!
Thank you Rick!
I didn’t think I was going to like this when you started covering it in black. Glad I waited til the end though because it’s a gem.
Haha it does start looking like I’d ruined it when the ink went on but I’m glad I did it.
Wow. I was surprised when you turned it off the first time and it was so white, because to me it looked kinda beige. So then you got out the color and started applying it. I did a double take and said out loud, BLUE?, and that's when you showed the bottle as if you has heard me. I laughed.
When you were wiping the blue off and I could see the grain...WOW. The blue really showed off the grain nicely.
Even the smaller of the two bark pieces looks like a silhouette. Really nice piece.
Haha thanks for your comment! I can understand why you’d have been taken back by the application of the dye, it was a MASSIVE contrast 😂.
@@IanMacWoodturning -- I'm all for contrast...light...med...dark & I'm into all kinds of colors. I have a really bright palette myself. I guess I had it in my head you'd do black, and I don't know why. You could just of easily used Azo Yellow, Cerulean Blue, Burnt Umber,....or _____,...or _____,...or Madder Red, etc...lol.
The spectrum is crazy full of options.
The Blue you chose was groovy for this piece. It totally worked.
A beauty!
Thanks Janice!
Marvelous!👌🏿
Thank you!
Fico sempre imprecionada com seus trabalhos todos lindos .gosto de todos parabéns pelo capricho abraços de SP Brasil. .
Beautiful
Thanks Jim!
I just had to cut down several very large limbs on a 40+ year old cherry tree. I keep hoping I'll find a wood turner who wants to turn some of the limbs into something beautiful like this. With the cost of shipping it will have to be a local artist, or someone passing through Utah by car who can pick it up. I'm still trying to find a woodworking guild locally I can work through.
Fingers crossed for you man!
Look up Utah Association of Woodturners.
OMG it's amazing
Thank you! x
Love it.
Thanks very much!
Gorgeous grains color beautiful work nice pieces of ART
Thanks very much Gaetan, I appreciate that mate!
creative
Thanks Humphrey!
That's really nice!
Thanks very much!
Very nice work.
Now that it has been drying for some months how did it come out? Did it warp or crack?
This has held up surprisingly well, no cracks or warping like some of the others have, I think it’s because I left it thick & in a cool room after sealing it over and over 😂 I’ll have to share a photo of it.
Video such as these are the best entertainment on YT.
Thank you very much mate, I try to do something different each video to keep them fresh.
Wow what a lovely piece.
Cheers Graham!
The colors turned out beautiful.
Thanks Ed!
Would've liked the areas of bark on the outside left unstained myself. Cool effect elsewhere though.
Good morning/afternoon Ian. Happy Father's Day (USA) I'm excited to see what you create. Much love and respect to you.💞
I absolutely love it!!! "Beautiful" doesn't do it justice. I can just imagine that sitting on my bar and me threatening anyone who dares to touch it. You have so much talent.
Thanks Kim! Hope you’re well!
Absolutely beautiful man that is a great piece.
Thanks Rich!
Superb!
Thanks mate
Awesome
Thanks Judy!
Very nice!!!😎👍
Thanks mate 👍🏻
آفرین واقعا زیبا درست کردی .
Very good 🥰👍👍👍
Thank you my friend
I was mystified when you painted the dye on your vessel. But the final product is beautiful. 💕♥️💕
Thank you very much! It did look a bit weird when I put on the black dye haha
@@IanMacWoodturning but it sure turned out. I’m glad I didn’t click out.
Great outcome!
At first I thought that it wouldn't look to good with that black stain but later in the video I understood why you did it!👍👍👍
Thanks very much mate!
That turned out nice. Would've preferred the interior hollowed out more but I am liking the outside.
Same...
It came out really well. love how the dye brought out the hidden qualities in the wood.
Thanks Joyce! The original plan was to leave it all black but after it was sanded down it looked so much better like this.
When I first saw the white wood, totally excited....Then came the black die... so wanted to see the finished pure white wood! Don't get me wrong, I get what you were doing..but still..all white wood!
It just looks so plain when it's bright white, you can't even really see the grain haha.
Respected brother really you have creativity. Thanks a lot.
Thanks mate!
Wonderful!

Haha thanks Mark

That would be great to put my ashes in.
Send me a text when you’ve been toasted and I’ll chuck you in there

Thank you Kobie! Glad you liked it.
Hi Ian this is my favorite video the vase is fabulous you have a great talent, looking forward to the next video xx
Thank you very much Jean!
Cherry tree is in the Rose family ; here are some diff. names of Cherry s : Sweet Cherry, Carolina Laurelcherry , Sour Cherry , Mahaleb Cherry , Pin Cherry , Black Cherry , Common Chockcherry , : Luv trees🌴🌲🌿 keep turning !!!!
My grandmother had a cherry tree that every year would be loaded with the best looking cherries ever. But if you ate one it would make a green persimmon look interesting.
Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!
So glad you like it! Thanks for your comment
When you added the dark stain I thought "NO!", but you knew where you were going. Beautiful result!
Haha it did look completely ruined when the ink went on! Thankfully it paid off 😂
Parabéns lindo de mais tanta perfeição .abraços de SP Brasil.
Obrigada meu amigo! Eu realmente aprecio o seu apoio

Such a beautiful vase!!! / Peter C, artist from Sweden
Thanks Peter!
Love the effect of the stain plus sanding after. Love to see that again. :-) Thankfully no flame was used in the process. hehe
Haha thanks Summer! I did use a little flame but decided not to record it.
@@IanMacWoodturning - lol. We call you guys "Fire Bugs". Better make friends at the local Fire Brigade. BUT... it was very hard to see the red inside... but I'd love to see any of these dyes used again.
Yeah it’s a pretty dark red so it was difficult to photograph really! Thanks very much for your comment! 😊
I like it! The black stain really added to the piece. Cheers, Dave
Thanks very much Dave!

Cheers Paul! I appreciate your comment
nice job
Thanks mate
Gorgeous Ian and stunning finish
Thanks Justin!
I'm just starting in woodturning and I am always told dont turn your chiels up, but in most the videos I watch people do. I understand why because they catch, but is there a benefit for doing that.
Hey Rob, if your chisels are sharp it’ll be fine but I’m not advocating following me on how to turn as I’m self taught and just do what feels comfortable.
Very nice piece, well done Sir.
Thanks Peter, I appreciate your comment!
Amazing, however I personally am not sure about the black paint, would have liked to see the original to compare
beautiful work friend congratulations👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷
Thank you my friend!
Parabéns, ficou uma linda peça!!!
