Very nice piece, love BE with the flame in it! Always appreciate the camera angle showing how you push or pull and the position of your tool. Also appreciate the mention of rpm in each step. Thanks again Sam....starting to melt in Clancy MT

How do you only have 51,000 subscribers !? Your advice and content is always very good with a lot of variety.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Doug I have the same question......I am just not sure. Sam

[@billy19461]

Couldn't sleep and I saw your video come up and I always enjoy watching. Are you all getting a lot of snow? Always learn when I watch you.

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

With my videos you don't need sleeping pills. I am not home now. But I hear it is all gone. Sam

[@howardkasdan6715]

Sam, it would be helpful to show how to harvest blanks from a log for various hollow form turnings

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Thanks Sounds like a good video Idea. Sam

[@Lostfriar1]

Thanks Sam for a really good video, it makes me anxious for video 2. Is there a reason for the use of burl material for hollow form making aside from the nice grain pattern?

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

I don't see any real difference. I just try to use burl wood if I have it. Sam

[@mhaz49]

Question: at the beginning of the video you say the piece has been sitting on your work bench for "quite a while", possibly implying that it has dried. At the end you wet it down and wrap it up to keep it moist, and "prevent drying". So which is it? Is it green wood or dried wood?

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Mark, I am never really sure if a hunk of wood is dry or wet or some place in the middle. (I do have a moisture meter but did not anticipate this question). I would guess the moisture content was around 15% or so. At the end, I did not want this to crack or split, so I added a bit of water. That safety measure can't hurt. Sam

[@WYOMINGWOODTURNER]

Mark, I went back and looked at the end of the video....I forgot that it was still solid. I did not get to the inside until the next day. So I kept it wet. Sam
