I was going to say that some thing. It hurt a little watching that first cut. The cup is beautiful, but the original block of wood was equally so. I'll take the paper weight.
I'm convinced Jack is a robot. You never see him, and for a human to turn out such precisely beautiful works as he does is beyond comprehension! Love it.
Thanks Jack for another masterpiece. Very beautiful. I shudder a bit every time I see you using the band saw or table saw with those gloves on though. As an ex cabinetmaker, we never ever allowed our employees to wear any kind of glove around machinery. My Dad actually lost two fingers while operating a table saw with gloves on. The glove caught the blade and pulled his hand in.
Fear not! They're nitrile gloves: skin tight, so next to no chance of catching and as strong in tension as you'd expect a 0.3mm thick elastic band to be, if they ever did.
I love this! I think this is the first time I’ve seen a coffee cup made. Thanks for sharing! I guess there’s really no limits of what you can make woodturning.
Finally! A perfect cup worthy of the perfectly roasted/brewed coffee. I've been searching for a mug for many years. Now it seems the goal is clearly presented.
I was thinking this what makes is $1000 cup has to be clickbait, it's amazing and really well done and unless the wood is extremely rare $1000 wood 🤷♂️
@@TheAshers999 I mean, it is extremely rare... Personally never seen a burl this dense for sale at this size. Usually these are sold as veneer, no idea how close this one is to 1k (minus other production costs)
Looks great. I certainly would never pay $1000 for a coffee cup but for your profession i'm glad there are people out there who will. The question is when will you complete the rest of the dining set? 🤣
The main reason why it's so much is because it's burled would, it's what gives the would it naturally shiny and unique appearance. Burled wood is expensive because of how rare it can be and how sought after it is for its beauty. Also because people would literally destroy hundreds of year old trees illegally to get there hands on such an expensive wood, so that they could either sell it, or use it for themselves.
Absolutely beautiful and worth every cent. Even with the video, it's amazing that some people can't see it. -Even having to resort to being downright rude. Great work.
I do have an idea for the cut off. Hollow out more to shape u want, fill cavity with foam, keeping flat sides. It will be easy to dig out. Make form for epoxy pour. Would make a beautiful flat sided vase. (some sanding required) Hate to see that go to waste. I do some wood carving by hand, and tend to look for abstract or odd shapes 😃 Thank you for your videos. Work is inspiring, drooling over that wood.
I worked as a ferrier assistant for a bit, and one of the things I learned there, is to use the entire rasp in long controlled strokes working on horse hooves, not rubbing against the grooves. I hope this helps with your hand carving.
Stunning and very clever . Looks like it will be an expensive coffee cup though , Thuya Burl ? How permeable is it to liquid and did you use just Danish Oil on the surface ? 👏👏👏
I wish i had stacks of cash. I would be your top customer. Im a retired diesel mechanic/ metal machinist and my savings went to getting Dutch residency. Totally enjoy your channel
retty darn good eye there Jack Mack . You are a true artiste . I have no idea what kind of wood it is , but it sure is beautiful . Does not look like anything I have seen in N.W. USA .
Hi Jack, this episode came on my Google feed, and like that it did. FANTASTIC workmanship. You make it look easy. My guess on the wood species is snakewood. Cheers!
Precious skills Jack thanks for sharing your art. My guess is the wood is a semi petrified fruit or nut tree root... maybe a walnut? I'm not sure though it's ever so lovely what ever it is. Ancient root system.
Такую чашку на русском севере называют кукса. Обычно вырезают её вручную. Породу дерева не могу назвать, но анотомическое образование такого типа называется кап ( древесный нарост сформированный из клеток камбия и имеющий множествво спящих почек), возможно это нарост без спящих почек, тогда этом - сувель (= древесная кость) . Но это термины из анатомии растений.
I didn't have the patience to watch the whole video, can't even begin to comprehend the patience it took to make this piece, absolutely gorgeous. No way in hell I'd ever put coffee in it though (or any other fluid for that matter). In the last close-up of the interior you could see hundreds of little voids in that wild grain structure.
There's probably a finish on the wood that makes it water tight. Also keeps it from rotting or molding or absorbing bits of soggy food floating around with it in the dishwasher. I wouldn't stress about it being able to hold your coffee.
No wood is so rare and with only an hours worth of work is this WORTH $1,000. Valued at and worth are two completely different things. A wise man said a fool is easily parted with their money.
@JackMackWoodturning I actually used it for about ten tears but it did eventually break in half across the cup. I checked but I don't have any pictures but it was made of a pine burl
Jack, first time watching your YT. Very cool on how you built this coffee cup. I really enjoyed. On the wood, my best guest is Snakewood ... only saw it one time ... never since ... Bob

THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Afzelia wood?
Gran bel lavoro !
Ma non ho compreso di che legno si tratta.
Utile?
❤ This!
A mallee burl maybe ?
It's very pretty whatever it is!!
You fiend!
I think I’d just keep that pieces of wood as-is and stare at it on my desk all day haha.
I was going to say that some thing. It hurt a little watching that first cut. The cup is beautiful, but the original block of wood was equally so. I'll take the paper weight.
@@jaredwonnacott9732 Yes such a huge waste of material as well. Kind of stupid it cost that much though too, but I guess it is very cool.
If it were also polished it would be even more protected, with a sparkling beauty and an incredible colour 🤎
Agreed.
The wood is pure gold 🤩 great grandpa had something out of wood he had. Reminds of our Swiss folks 😍Thanks Jack!
I'm convinced Jack is a robot. You never see him, and for a human to turn out such precisely beautiful works as he does is beyond comprehension! Love it.

Wore them 30 years as a mechanic and machinist. Cloth gloves may be a bad idea.
Yes Nitrile gloves tear when you look at them
Have been a machinist for 50 years and I agree 👍
There are those that have not been injured yet using woodworking machinery, and those that are going to.
Man, I can’t even imagine the hours it took to shape it with rasps and even more hours it took to sand this piece!
Beautiful! ❤
I agree!
You can't imagine 3 hours?
Leopardwood
A wagyu beef wood mug. Nice!👌🏻
Haha 🤘🏻
Awesome Description 😂
I love this! I think this is the first time I’ve seen a coffee cup made. Thanks for sharing! I guess there’s really no limits of what you can make woodturning.
Doors
A spaceship.
Maybe there are no limits, but we're a really long way off from someone wood turning a device that's capable of faster than light travel.
I’ll stick to my $10 coffee cup
Wow check out Mr fancy pants with his $10 coffee cup.
I'm willing to bet your $10 coffee cup, cost less than $1 to make.
Finally! A perfect cup worthy of the perfectly roasted/brewed coffee. I've been searching for a mug for many years. Now it seems the goal is clearly presented.
I think it looks like the menu background from the original doom with all the skulls from hell. Very cool
😆 it really does ey
That mug would never leave my house!! I’m astonished as to how it turned out. Bravo sir
Glad you like it! Where are you watching from?
Pennsylvania
@@JackMackWoodturning I am watching your work from Finland and here the wooden cup is named Kuksa. It is a native Sami cup for every day use.
$1,000? Who would pay that ? Lovely cup.

@@TheAshers999 Man, once i saw the wood, i knew that he wasn't joking about $1000.
I watched a lot of your videos but this coffee cup is gorgeous 👌🔝
Thanks
Wow that is one purdy piece of wood!! Now it's purdy and functional
Don't know much about this,but I think it looks like birds-eye maple.
Looks great. I certainly would never pay $1000 for a coffee cup but for your profession i'm glad there are people out there who will. The question is when will you complete the rest of the dining set? 🤣
“That’s the cup of a carpenter”
Beautiful, so fun to watch too. I love all the different applications you can get out of a lathe.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
That piece of wood is BEAUTIFUL, really amazing.
So enjoyable to see hand carving skills alongside turning work. What a beautiful piece. ❤
$1000? Beautiful work but $1000? Who would spend $1000 on a wooden mug
You’d be surprised 😮

for a unique handcrafted mug? some would pay a lot more
@@marc-etiennemercier6584 those people need to feed some starving children if that have that kind of money to blow….
@@JackMackWoodturningit’ll last for many, many years.
Absolutely beautiful grain on this piece, I'd enjoy a nice cup of tea in that
I love the smell of working with Thuya!
I'm getting Wagyu marbling vibes from the block.
Yes, exactly 💯
Would love to know what wood you used to value the piece at $1,000. But it is nice, good job
Looks like thuya burr
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for the great ideas.
Ah yes that first sip in the morning as you stare introspectively into the screaming souls of the dead
How did you know my morning routine?
Fine work Jack, enjoyed watching the filing used to create the details. Perhaps creating a mate with a different type of burl would compliment it. 😄😄
Absolutely beautiful and worth every cent. Even with the video, it's amazing that some people can't see it. -Even having to resort to being downright rude. Great work.
That wood is absolutely beautiful. I can understand why it’s so prized. Wow. Ya done good, son.
ОРЕХ ИЛИ СУВЕЛЬ ИЗ БЕРЁЗЫ, ещё ТОПОЛЬ напоминает. Работа супер)
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing 😉
Stunning
Thanks buddy
Beautiful mug! ☕️
This is beautiful but I winced when you stuck your hands into a running lathe with a part on one side and a hard steel part on the other.
I love the way the cup came out, Jack. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Have your emoji addiction treated.

It might, if the wood were a hoof.
Now that was different, & SO pretty ! ❤
Beautiful coffee cup, Jack. I would definitely drink coffee out of it. 😊😊
My firewood turning projects definitely don’t cost $1000, but they also don’t look as good as this! Nice job.
Now All You Need to Make is the "Soup 🍲 Tureen" to complete the Job 👍👏!
Love it!

I don't know what that wood is other than gorgeous...
It’s the A-5 Wago of wood!
So beautiful that is expertly completed! Simply Wow!!
Thanks buddy
No instant coffee in that cup, only the good stuff. Cheers
Stunning piece , the wood grain is amazing 🎉❤
Beautiful! I am on a kick of 20 ounces or more coffee mugs. I like a large amount of coffee rather than small coffee cups.
You’re super talented brother. What an amazing skilled trade!!! One of a kind. Thank you.
One very beautiful hand made coffee ☕️
lovely cup, it turned out beautifully! it looks like amboyna burl.
That was my answer too! I don't know if we're right.

Perhaps you did. 😉
mmmm. Thuya Burl.... I can smell it, love it

Lots of talent in this world.
Excellent technique and professional use of tools!
Beautiful coffee cup
Want one Yes please!

So very nice beautiful amazing
Looks like thuya burr? Like the best piece I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a lot
Very nice !
Thank you
I have no idea what the wood is. All I can tell is it's very hard, very dense, beautiful and rare. It's a fantastic cup to sip coffee out of.

My eyes would be too full of tears to cut into that.

I'm going to guess, Mappa Burl.
I'm not sure but fingers crossed. Great job!
Nice cup!
It’s a work of art. With a spare grand lying around, I’d buy it 😊 But not for coffee! Coffee tastes better out of porcelain 😊
You are a first class woodturner❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely gorgeous!
Absolutely beautiful.
Awesome sauce coffee cup but I have to ask what kind of burl is $1000. That’s wild.
$20 in bali
Looks like Afzilia to me. Beautiful ❤️❤️
Very nice a beautiful piece of wood.
WICKED COOL.
Thanks
Lovely piece of wood😍

that wood looks like a wagyu a5 with a marbling score of 12
Hi Jack what a beautiful coffee mug lovely wood
It really is! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
fantastic
Thank you so much 😀
Hello Jack beautiful cap beautifully made well done
Thuja Burl ? Brilliant work
Great video, reminded me of a kuksa I made once
That's cool! Would love to see it
@JackMackWoodturning I actually used it for about ten tears but it did eventually break in half across the cup. I checked but I don't have any pictures but it was made of a pine burl
Is that burl? It’s so beautiful…
It is a burl 👍🏻
absolutely stunning. thank you.
Id buy that for a dollar!
It’s sold buddy sorry

Safety tip if you are starting out in woodwork. This is an improper and unsafe way to set up a bandsaw.
