Woodturning - I Didn't Know What This Was Until My Mom Saw It!

- So I have had a lump of cherry on the workshop floor for a few months now. It's too small to make a vase, and as I have made so many live edge bowls/dishes I thought it would be boring to make another. So I decided to make a salt pig, however, I'm now discovering that the name "salt pig" comes from the fact that the container resembles a small pig. The design typically features a snout-like spout for dispensing the salt, and the container may be decorated with features like ears, eyes, and a curly tail. So, in short, I have created two pots that can hold Salt, but aren't really your typical Salt Pig. Also, the reason I created two was that the Spalted beech bowl was supposed to be the lid of the live-edge cherry dish, but it really didn't look right.
Maybe I need to try to make an actual Salt pig, what do you think?
The first one is made from Wild Chery and an Ornamental cherry for the lid. The second is made from Spalted Beech. Both have been finished with food-safe oil.
Let me know which one you like best!

My videos are for entertainment purposes only. Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first.
And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Find my two comments below and vote on the piece you liked the best! 😁👍
...c'mon, Harry...that's not a fair comparison...I love the shape of the cherry salt pig, but I also love spalted wood...so I had to give a thumbs up on both of 'em...
Very well done!
Matt
I love them both!
Well, they're both extraordinarily beautiful! However, considering space efficiency in my kitchen, I would have to vote for the spalted one, which I did below. Thank you for your work, Harry!
The cherry is to unique to ignore.
wort aaaa
Brillant idea to make a set of dishes with a crotch bowl. The bowl really showed off the grain as well as the other bowl. KEEP ON TURNING 💡👋
They both look absolutely fantastic Harry
Beautiful! Your work is always outstanding and these items can be used so easily for entertaining or for everyday use on the kitchen table.
Refreshing to see traditional (NO EPOXY RESIN) wood turning! These pieces have natural warmth and beauty that beg to be touched. These are some of the elements that drew me to wood turning 38 years ago. Another beauty of wood turning is we make use of yard trees and cutoffs that are typically discarded. If one has a Grandpa planted tree that came down from storm or other causes, it behooves you to find a Harry Smith (esc) wood turner near by. He or she can help keep Grandpa or Grandma alive for generations.

They both look great. The winged one is unique for sure. Nice job.
Both are gorgeous!
Love both, absolutely beautiful artwork 👍
The spalted bowl is gorgeous, i love interesting grains, but the other one is so unique.
Like this comment if you prefer the Live-edge Cherry Salt Pig! 🐷🧂
I didn't see that coming ,that was beautiful.
Nice salt cellars.
Both..absolutely stunning :) the smaller round one has the more beautiful pattern due to the wood itself, but i would be overjoyed with either of them!
I love the pot with lid as i love the spalting wood it has so much character. The salt dish with a lid is unique you made was lovely ànd my favourite the òther ìs great i like the spalting is àwesomè it had nice grain is a nice. Thanks for two amazing items. Amanda x
Beautiful pieces of wood and workmanship you should be committed showing people God bless
I like the larger one. Something you’ve never before. Great job.
Morw beautiful work. Especially love the end grain on the spalted lid.
Beautiful work on both of them.
They are both beautiful!
Harry, you've out done yourself. Tour mother will love the set.😀😊
WOW, Harry once again you outdid yourself. The one on the left, the cherry one was obviously a true work of art and has my vote. Not to undo the one on the right that was more compact and has its own place. For size, that may be more what some folks would prefer.
Those are for weed.
Beautiful work!
Fantastic job! I love them both, yet my favorite is the smaller box because of all the character with the veins of the wood, Burl.
Great job! You are very talented and creative! Bravo!
Oh my word I really like them both but the splayed wood looks so beautiful so by a whisker that gets my vote!
Wonderfully creative and attractive - both of them, thanks for the inspiration.

Thank you Masi! Make sure you vote which of the pigs you like the most in my poll in the comments 😁👍
I can see why you had the idea to be radical and combine the cherry and the spalted wood, but I agree with you that it was the right choice to make two projects in the end. Both are stunning. My preference is the cherry one, for several reasons: pure personal preference of colour, but also knowing the peril of the serious risk of a dangerous catch during the turning! Superb job displaying the inner beauty of the grain. Your natural talent shines through this video. Thanks Harry.
I love watching these videos I wish I was that talented
Superb !!!
That salted piece is gorgeous

Salt pigs! I never would have guessed! I thought the latger one might have been chips/toast and dips. It surprised me, when you said they were the same thing! Either way, they're both beautiful lidded bowls, with snug lids, suitable for something special. Thanks for showing us!
Amazing !!!
Thank you very much Linda! 😁👍 Have you seen my new art and design channel yet? www.youtube.com/@DesignedbyHS/videos
Wow. Just great.
❤❤❤ I enjoy your videos.

Great job. Those look awesome
Thank you! Make sure you vote which of the pigs you like the most in my poll in the comments 😁👍
Both are very nice but the one with the wings is absolutely gorgeous
Both very nice! These are called salt cellars.
I've done some sketchy crap on my old Craftsman lathe, but I'd never attempt a burl, besides I didn't have many attachments like you. Still remember wood exploding while turning lol. Nice work! I understand the time put in!
They are both beautiful but i love the spalted wood!
That cherry grain looks it was spun by a spider . Beautiful turning .
Good video for small industrial units only!
I've been a long-time subscriber, Harry, and I love your work. However, this was a hard one for me to watch. Because I couldn't take my eyes off of you turn the insides of each piece with a roughing gouge. Fully anticipating a giant catch that never came... V
I like the second one that looks like an actual bowl.
Both are very much good
Love it 👍. Cheers man
Thank you! Make sure you vote which of the pigs you like the most in my poll in the comments 😁👍
Отличная работа👍👍‼️🔥🔥🔥
Right jolly good job
I am a new subscriber, love your artwork, it’s beautiful 👍
Good work!
Thank you! Which one is your favourite? 😁👍
I would take either one. Both are beautiful
Thank you, Garth! Make sure you vote in my poll in the comments 😁👍
Прекрасная работа,респект мастеру.👌👍👍👍
Very nice, but I notice you are using a spindle roughing gouge not a bowl gouge on the outside and to set the form. It worked, but I am curios of your choice as it could bend the tool.
spindle roughing gouge can break off at the tang where it meets the handle if you get a catch, potentially sending the metal flying, extremely dangerous
I agree he should not use a Spindle Roughing Gouge it's a bad choice and dangerous and is giving a bad example to inexperienced turners ,it maybe that he is inexperienced him self.

Both are lovely, I must admit to liking spalted wood!
Thank you Valerie! That was the easier one to make! I do love the Spalting, I could look at it all day 😁👍
The suspense was killing me trying to figure out where you were going. They both turned out amazing. I love the grain in the splatted piece, but the crotch piece is very unique, so I would with the unique one.
love them both
Thank you! Make sure you vote which of the pigs you like the most in my poll in the comments 😁👍
Very nice. We have a very plain bamboo salt cellar by the stove for cooking. These are far more interesting.
They are both suburb pieces for work, but I'd definitely vote for the Salt Pig made from the wye branch & cherry bowl.
Hard to choose Harry.
The one made from the cheery fork is very unique, but I like spalted wood a lot.
Both are great.
Спасибо за уникальную красоту. ДОБРА ТЕБЕ.
i love both but I love the grain in the round one most. glad you decided to go with both. too late to vote just wanted to comment
very nice
Unique pieces!
Thank you, Angela! Make sure you vote in my poll in the comments 😁👍
@@HarrySmithWoodturning I like them both so it’s hard to choose between them. I like the smaller one with the lid! I really like the pattern in the wood❗️😊
makes me what to turn my lathe on ! i knew that one was Chery by the bark , chips just get everywhere ,,fun to see you do it i don't have to clean it up ... maybe next summer i'll take it outside, thanks
According to my wife, who knows these things, those are called salt cellars. I suspect it's a regional thing. She is very much into medieval history, so maybe that's where she got it from. 🙂
Both pieces are quite beautiful!
Nice 🥰
Love both of them. But the round one wins it for me. ❤
Thank you, Anthony! Make sure you vote in my poll in the comments 😁👍
@@HarrySmithWoodturning I have voted. 😃
Oh, nice Wood 😉
That's how I'll make the eyeball part of my Dalek shell!
I like the live-edge “flying pig” best but both are truly fantastic. Now I have to make one out of clay!
I really enjoy watching your videos. Just sayin :)
Thank you very much, Rosemary! Which one is your favourite? 😁👍
@@HarrySmithWoodturning oh goodness, I don't have a favorite. I like most of them :)
great piece of work most in spiorin bob england
If I have to pick the one on the right.❤
Thank you! Make sure you vote which of the pigs you like the most in my poll in the comments 😁👍
Wow they are both so beautiful it's be hard to choose the best one but I really like the spalted one the best I guess if I had to choose between the two. You did an amazing job turning them both!!!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
When I saw you finish the first piece, I pictured a free-form candle holder. All it needed was to be lined to protect the wood from the wax.
Cherry most but like both! Greg
I tried this once, ended up with the most expensive labour intensive toothpick in the history of toothpicks!!
Both very nice
Thank you Darren! Make sure you vote which of the pigs you like the most in my poll in the comments 😁👍
I don't know how many folks have already told you this but I'm going to add to the list. Use a bowl gouge. You're cutting end grain to side grain and a roughing gouge that is not meant to handle that load.
This isn't safe and I hope no one else follows your example.
Love the item made from cherry. Im new to turning, please tell me about the drill bit used to bore out the centre. Thankyou
Dang, wish I had a skill. Turns out my parents were right when they said video games aren’t a skill
I like the winged one
I made a bowl in school , the surface was like glass , and the teacher didn’t know how I did it .
Like this comment if you prefer the Spalted Salt Pig! 🐷🧂
if I have to choose between them I think I woud go for the cherry one, cheers
The Winged Salt pig, but both are great
