Woodturning: Yellow Birch Pedestal Box
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2019
- Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! This is my 7th filmed project, and it had a rocky start! I think I need a bigger lathe! This piece of yellow birch was harvested within the past year or two, so it was not fully dry. However, it was very spalted and soft, which seemed to indicate it was close to becoming punky. In hindsight, I probably should have restricted myself to an oil finish in order to let the wood dry while the oil hardens instead of trying to seal the wood immediately with wax. Anyway, let me know what you think!
This piece will not be for sale. It will be a gift to my friend who gave me the yellow birch for free.

The yellow birch grain looks like a tiger’s coat. I just love it.
These videos are my new obsession. I cannot get enough.
Came back to this after a year and it still doesn't disappoint. Also if I was your friend I would probably cry in appreciation.
It’s fantastic to see that the wood is Spalted. It makes the wood so much more interesting than I think..
Spalted yellow birch is a great wood to turn!👍🍻
I don't know if all yellow Birch looks like this, but that wood is beautiful.
Most yellow birch looks about like this one, they are a beautiful tree
Скажіть будь ласка який це клей. І де його можна придбати. Дякую.
Love the grain on the yellow birch! Absolutely stunning!
I do enjoy your videos very much. The sound of your lathe and cutting tools is all I need. Very therapeutic and calming. I hate listening to babbling videos where the person runs on endlessly trying to convince you about how smart they are and no real content is offered up. And a beautiful piece of art at at the end of everyone of your videos, well done all around. ✌️😎
I really enjoyed watching a professional create this magnificent box and final fitted lid. Love it. Hugh from Somerset 🇬🇧 UK
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I am still in awe with your beautiful talent and ability to take apiece of wood and turn into an object of beauty and creativity simply by you hands.
Thank you, Christina! I still have a lot to learn though!
Regarding the coordinating of audio to video content, the VISUAL PRESENTATION is EXTRAORDINARILY COMPLIMENTARY to the AUDIBLE ADDITION. FURTHERMORE, I find your VIDEOS, devoid of MUSICAL AUDIO, COMMENSURATE to the ENTERTAINMENT VALUE as, PERSPECTIVELY, any DEAF VIEWERS should EXPERIENCE DELIGHT in WITNESSING the EMBELLISHMENTS of your CREATIVITY pursuant to COMPLETION of your MASTERFUL ARTISTRY. That aside, I THANK YOU for providing such QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT and KNOWLEDGEABLE INSIGHT for MYSELF and the MASSES OF TH-cam EXPLORERS who DISCOVER your DEMONSTRATIONS of thoroughly BLESSED TALENT with MATERIAL EXPERTISE.
The work with wood is excellent, the Hollywood production is well over the top
Your craftmanship was well spent on that beautiful piece of wood.
Everything about this was perfection: the editing, the music, the final piece. It was mesmerizing to watch. Thank you!
You have quite an eye for the piece as to the wood picked.. it's amazing to see you manipulate the wood to become something so very stunningly beautiful?!! Your work is amazing just stunning 💗✌🏼😊❣️
BEAUTIMOUS !!!! Thanks for posting !!! I LOVE that wood !!! In my younger years, I liked to come home from school and make a lot of chips. I made candle holders, vases, stands to hold pecans and the various tools to bust them and pick them out. I was always coming up with something pretty for Mom or Dad or my Grand Parents. When you started on the "spire lid-handle for the lid, I thought you were making Chess-pieces. Fooled me!
VERRRRY NICE piece!!!
Bill, from Tn. 🇺🇸
SWEEEET!!! THANKS FOR SHARING.🇺🇲🌞✌️👍
I love the yellow birch in combination with the Mexican Royal Ebony. Your work is great, very smooth and your finish is outstanding.
Thank you, Margaret! ✌️
Amazing skill and craftsmanship, thankyou David it's a genuine pleasure watching you work.
Thanks so much, Rob!
Yeah!......... That be worth 15k+ Beautifully done! Kudos to you!
Absolutely gorgeous.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Its so fascinating to see the grain revealed. It's like a hidden treasure. This video is so relaxing and beautiful. Thank you.
Awww man that's insane!! Earthy, regal, functional. Damn.
Thanks so much!
I think you might officially be a master
Such dramatic wood grain. You brought out its beauty.
Ein absolutes Talent!! Dieser Mann versteht das Handwerk.!! Und sollte was ganz großes werden. Respekt
Vielen Dank! Prost!
GORGEOUS, love that you didn’t add colored resin. The wood is exquisite.
What an amazing talent. Very much enjoy your videos now that my wife left me for someone else; I get some momentary peace watching you. Thank you, sir.
Sesde España quiero felicitarte tengo 72 años y mi profesión es ceramista admiro tu facilidad en crear arte muchas gracias
I don't know why but watching a craftperson work their trade puts me in a happy place.
I'm so glad you feel that way, Rob! That's what I'm going for!
That yellow birch is a beautiful wood inside. This is gorgeous.
I was holding my breath while you were working on that finial ... so afraid it was gonna snap like a twig. This passed gorgeous 1000 turns ago. ❤️❤️
Thank you so much, Collette! It was my first time turning katalox and yellow birch, so I was holding for quite a while there too, hahaha! Cheers!
You sir, are the Michelangelo of wood. Absolutely beautiful.
I loved the birch trees outside my house when I was growing up, but I had no idea how beautiful the grain was! Your hand on the wood made a work of art! Thank you also for including the names of the finishes you used!
I watch woodturning videos every day, this is hands down the most beautiful piece of art I have seen yet. That top piece blew my mind. It is so delicate and detailed. I love that.
Wow, thank you Stephen! Much appreciated! It was a fun project, and hopefully more like it in future! Cheers!
@@DavidAdamsen Well done work deserves praise. It seems in this day in age people are more likely to say something negative then to give a compliment. So I make sure if I think something positive, I say it. Be well, and I hope to see many more great works by you 😊
@@Madfattdeeb Thank you very much, Stephen! People like you motivate me to keep going! Cheers!
Thank you for this video, it reminds me so much of my great grandfather.
Thanks! Cheers!
Love this piece especially the tòp FANTASTIC workmanship.
About 1,000 years ago, ok about 4 years ago,I found this channel and subbed even though I knew nothing about what you were doing. It was simply beautiful. Over time, I drifted away from it. But tonight I was looking for something different to watch. Scrolling through my channels, I found you again! I think this may have been one of the first of your videos I watched, back at the dawn of time! It even still had my thumb up from all that time ago lol just wanted to say hi and that your work is still just as beautiful. Best to you and yours from New Orleans
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!
Outstanding! Beautiful! Wonderful spindle work on finial! Thank you for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!! I can only say WOW!
Thank you so much!
610 people disliked this because they are jealous that they don’t have the artistic skills this guy does. What a lovely place of art
Thanks Mathew, Cheers!
One of the best turning vids I've ever watched.
Spectacular!!! Thanks for sharing!
So very pretty. Thank you. You are a true artist 🌻
Thanks! Cheers!
Nice piece of wood and well excuted. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Brent! It was kinda nerve-racking to round down that log, but it went ok. Cheers!
Fit for royalty! Absolutely beautiful! The wood is so stunning on its own, then you did your magic and made it magnificent! Great job!!
In 100 years, when all your work is antique, it'll be authenticated by way of the video record you've uploaded
So beautiful! Mesmerizing to watch the process.
Cheers!
WOW, beauitful craftmanship, and gorgeous wood.
Thank you Donnell!
Fabulous, the Spalting is wonderful I love the care you take in finishing. 👍👍👍
You are true artist David! Lovely
I don't think I've ever seen a piece with as many types of finish applied. It really turned out great!
I'll be honest with you, I would never have applied all those finishes if I thought to wood was cooperating. But I think the wood was too wet when I turned it. So, when I had to leave it sit overnight, I made sure there was a thick layer of wax over it. I would probably do it differently now. Cheers!
@@DavidAdamsen I'm curious why you finish your projects in stages. Is that just for the video or is there some woodworking reason? I usually finish all in one step at the end.
That is absolutely stunning! Beautiful work! You have my respect.
Thank you so much, Nina! ✌️
Unbelievably amazing video and wood. That is just gorgeous 😍 ❤ 💕 💖 this is my favorite piece I've ever seen on any channel.
Magnificent WORK!!!!!! Congrats!!!!! Beautiful piece of Birch wood. The pinnacle is a MASTERCLASS!!!! Fantastic!!!
Wow thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous. Your skills brought out the beautiful wood depths.
Incredible work!
Thank you, Rich!
AMAGING YOUR PROJEK
Thanks very much!
Your videos are incredible to watch and very soothing. Ty
Шикарно получилось, картинка очень красивая, удачи тебе, продолжай а том же духе ✊🏻😍♥️
Good God that grain is beautiful.
Amazing work sir.
Nice piece of art 👍👍
Thank you very much, Jon!
colours and the grain are fantastic. The concept out of lump of wood just brilliant .
Thank you!
You go from strength to strength , that is beautiful.
Great piece of wood, your videos are very calming to watch. Your talent made this a fantastic finished piece.
Thank you! I’m so glad you feel that way!
Amazing the things you can do when turning wood all by eye and hand.
I've officially fallen into the yt woodturning rabbit hole and can't get out 😂, watching it daily the last few days
Thanks so much!
I've fallen down that same hole! So many amazing wood turners here on TH-cam!
Какая восхитительная фактура древесины! Сказочная работа!
I absolutely love it! It has a middle eastern feel to it. My in-laws were missionaries over and I have some of the pieces that were there's, brings back great memories. Thanks for sharing ❤️
BEAUTIFUL !!! ..........the music is so relaxing too !!
Thanks Dennis!
Thanks David. Just beautiful man. And that handle for the lid is amazing. Great contrast of colors. Your a clever fellow. And to the thumb downers, jeez go and solve world poverty if someones wood work annoys you that much. Regards, Kev.
Thank you, Aussie! Much appreciated.
I like woodworking in general but my favourite is wood turning. In Cyprus we have trees with fantastic grain and shapes and when I start to work on a piece I never know what will be the final product. This is so especially with olive wood where there is hidden beauty. When I watch work like yours I only wonder what would be the result if my wood was in your hands. Magnificent work.
Wow thank you so much! It is always a joy and a surprise to see what a finished piece looks like. Cheers and happy turning!
Magnificent looking. I love a lot. The lid and the piece for the lid all I can say is the Lord as gifted you.
Очень красивая фактура у дерева.
Work fit to be displayed with pride. Such a satisfying watch!
Thanks Alonso!
Very Beautiful product. Well done 🥰
Very striking! Beautiful piece!
Amazing, as a life long musician I can't cut firewood, so to see this just blows me away, wonderful work 👍😎❤
Thanks very much!
Beautiful!!! Love the wood grain
Thank you, Melissa!
Wahnsinn..... Das ist eines der schönsten wenn nicht sogar das wunderschönste, welchem ich hier auf TH-cam bei der Entstehung zuschauen durfte. Eine Fantastische Arbeit..... Da bekomme ich glatt Lust das Trinkhorn beiseite zu stellen und meinen Met daraus zu Trinken 😍
Ich danke dir sehr! Das ist sehr komisch! Ich muss Ihnen leider mitteilen, dass dieses Stück wahrscheinlich nicht lebensmittelecht ist. Prost!
@@DavidAdamsen 🙈 traurig aber wohl wahr ^^
Skol🍻
That is really lovely. When you give it back to your friend it will be an heirloom with an amazing story.
I love your creativity David just beautiful pieces of art. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thanks so much Sue! Cheers!
Beautiful job! I've never seen yellow birch, it's amazing the detail...
Thank you! It really is gorgeous stuff, but it is a soft wood so it rots quickly in log form.
@@DavidAdamsen Wow... I've worked with pine only creating decoys. Using wood burning tools and a dremel. I think true art seeing potential in just a piece of wood...
That is a skill too! I need to improve my dremel skills, I’m very much a noob when it comes to carving.
@@DavidAdamsen It's funny though when I see how you move the chisel as the log spins, it's very similar to carving (which it is), but at a faster pace...lol
Thank you for not ruining this beautiful wood with epoxy! Stunning wood, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Daniel!
Работа отличная, завораживает. А рисунок дерева показывает оригинальность и неповторимость изделия. Красотища!!!! ,,Ножка на сосуде придаёт изящный дизайн.
I love your videos from the intro, the music, and your artistic wood creations. How can you not be filled with inspiration living in a beautiful place like Maine. This is a beautiful piece, love the birch and mexican wood together. Would love to see a bowl made from the Mexican wood. Your intricate detail in your wood turning is amazing. I'm hooked.❤
Wow, thanks very much, Joanna! Have a great New Year!!!!
Wood is beautiful, absolutely stunning with the spalting. Great job 👏👍
Thank you so much, Florence!
Immaculate. What a pleasure to watch a true craftsman at work. Love it.
Thanks very much, Martin!
I love yellow birch turning! Watch out for the "Bark Slap" as it will wake you up sometimes. Lol.
There's NO WAY this project only took you 22 minutes. You're an INSANELY fast worker!
LOL guilty as charged...
Beautiful work and very enjoyable to watch!
Thank you so much, Sarah!
Stunning! and thanks for showing the skills you have..
Thank you so much, Richard!
@@DavidAdamsen probably the best piece of birch i have seen.. just love the top down view.. hope you find more like that all best , keep well safe
Thank you, same to you as well!
hours and hours of polishing..I'm impressed 😉
Incredible work, and an incredible amount of time to create both the piece and the video. Thanks
Thank you so much, Maurice! It was a ton of work, but it's good fun that keeps me out of trouble. Cheers!
It was like watching a poem being written in wood my god it’s beautiful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow, thank you so much, John! It was essentially similar to making a goblet, only two or three times bigger! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!
David Adamsen I really enjoyed seeing your work keep it up.
Great comment
This still is my absolute favorite wood turning video, It's the most Beautiful one ever. That grain is insanely Beautiful. Ive watched this probably 200 times because i love it so much. Thanks for doing it Brother! God Bless you.

Amazing sequence and a beautiful result. Always surprised by your talent!
Thanks Thomas! Cheers!
Excellent craftsmanship, David! Beautiful piece!

Thank you so much, Billy! It was a lot of fun to make! Thankfully, my lathe, the piece, and I all stayed in one piece (respectively) during the process lol!
So beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Judit!
Beautiful wood and design. Enjoy watching you turn.
Wow, lucky friend. The grain is absolutely mesmerizing. I love everything about this piece.
Thanks Lynda!
Dang, David! Awesome! Beautiful! You must have been doing this for quite awhile! Keep up the great vids!
Hope your recovery is progressing well. Looking forward to your return
This has got to be the most beautiful wood I've ever seen. And no one turns a finial better than you. Everything about your videos are beautiful. Music. Artistry. And the scenery is breathtaking. Thank you.
