Carl, hi. I admire your work and can appreciate your talent and the fact the you share it with us. I watched many of your videos on different subjects and projects and noticed that you just get started and put the blank on the lathe and start shaping.
can you stain these projects afterwards to give them a darker appearance? I'm new to woodturning and don't want to mess up a project after all the hard work of turning it
when you started hollowing the urn wouldn't it have been easier to use a forstner bit to hollow the majority of the wood out and stablish a depth before using your gouges?
Hi Carl, newby question, what type of parting tool did you use for the final parting off? 15:56 I only having a 1/16" and it won't let me under cut to leave a concave bottom. I need to get one to do that with. It looks like a beading/parting tool. Thanks.
I was wondering that if you are working off of a plan or sketch or do you have any drawings in front of you to follow form? The fact is that all the artists and great producer of any items always start out with a sketch and go from there, and as the work develops the refine the final shape as they bring the cutting tools to the wood. I noticed that there are lots of new turners who follow you and watch your videos, who may wonder how you get to create such nice pieces?
Question? When sanding with the paste wax, you put the piece of sandpaper back into the can. Does the dust and dirt coming from the sandpaper affect the wax that you have left in the jar?
Hi Carl nice urn. Must have been a pretty large dog though. I have a chart that shows you how much space you need for the number of pounds of live weight. If you want it let me know. How do you like that new lathe?
i've seen that you turn duck and goose calls...if you are a turkey hunter you could probably turn a slate or a crystal call too...your videos have inspired me to get my own lathe and am gonna pick it up sunday!
Another great video, sad the dog died though. Might be a bit much for me to try in my small area, but i'd sure like to. I'm in the process of working on another bowl right now.
@haydenHD getting a jet 1220...i also am getting a nova g3 chuck...researched alot and decided that they would be the best for the money...i don't mind manually switching the belt speeds even though i know that variable speed is alot more convenient...i am already WAY over budget if you talk to my cpa (aka my wife)...lol!...thanks for the videos...they are great!
Hey Carl ! I've been asked to start turning urns for pets. Which is a great idea. But finding a blank is challenging Do you know where I can look for wood blanks big enuf for an urn. Thanks. Jan .....
@RonRadliff I believe he said it was beeswax. I love finishing with beeswax because of the warmth that it brings out. And if it dulls it polishes right back up with little effort. AND it smells like honey!
Do you know where I can find a blank large enough to end up with piece this size? I would imagine I would need a blank that measures 8x8x12 maybe. I love your work. I just got into turning and your channel has been very inspirational. Thanks!
+Jesse & Susan Horn This one was for a large dog too. I'm not sure on the volume it's 5" x 8" but I'd make it a little bigger for a larger dog. Take care, Carl
R squared x3.14xH=cubic in urn which evenly measures inside 8" H x6" across equates to 3x3x3.14x8=226.08 but could be rounded up to 230 cu in. 1 cu in. = 1 lb live weight roughly.
@haydenHD Ok, I just didn't want to mess anything up. Thanks for the info. And I just found a lathe in the back of my grandpa's shed so I'm excited to start turning!
@joeynuggetz haha i was thinking the same thing. Then i though... So if someone makes a pet urn... this means that someone actually had a pet that died... and they actually spent the money to cremate it. People actually spend that much money on their pets??????
I only just stumbled upon this today. My beloved dog of 14 years passed away recently and I got to thinking how nice it'd be to make an urn for him. I'm not new to woodturning, but I haven't done bowl/vases etc just yet. I'm just wondering if instead of hollowing out the urn on the lathe, can you use a forstner bit on a drill press to get most of the inner material out? Or is it just as easy to do it on the lathe? This is beautiful, thanks for posting this video!
Thank you Jennifer! You can use a forstner bit to clean out the majority of it. It's easier to use the forstner bit when it's on the lathe than the drill press. Here's a video showing how I used the forstner bit on the lathe. Just use a larger bit if you want to clean out more material. th-cam.com/video/WU6MmhcF1KY/w-d-xo.html
@@CarlJacobson I got the majority of my urn finished (couldn't find a chunk of maple so I ended up piecing together an octagon and turned that) I'm wondering how thick the walls are of the urn in the video? I thought mine was finished but unfortunately, the ashes wouldn't fit so I'm going to hollow it out more (my thickness is a hearty 3/8" right now. Also, to finish off the bottom, did you put the top in the chuck and put back on the lathe to sand/polish? Or would the outward force of the chuck break the urn sides? (I was thinking of making a little divot in the bottom so it lays flat) Thanks again for your help!
Any dog deserves a gorgeous piece of wood like that.
What a wonderful thing to do for a friend. Great job as always.
David
Really beautiful Carl. Glad to see you back.
Leonard
Carl, I'm sure your friend will love and treasure this special piece.
Carl, hi. I admire your work and can appreciate your talent and the fact the you share it with us. I watched many of your videos on different subjects and projects and noticed that you just get started and put the blank on the lathe and start shaping.
@Kpfjaeger that's great, which lathe are you getting?
@MrsWOODooMagic Thank you Ayshen,
Lovely work. You friend is going to be delighted with it.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Good job Carl. I’m working on an urn for my cousins puppy that passed away last week. I like the form you used. Thanks for the demo.
Thank you very much Richard!
@Spencerwoodworking Thanks Spencer, :)
@rctractorboy It's Paste wax and Mineral oil
Very nice Carl!
@BigDhookah Don't use the wax if you want to stain the piece afterwards.
Looks very smart Carl.
Regards Barry
@MrLeonard55 Thanks Leonard,
thank you,
Yes that will work great I did a video on this on my new channel the link is in the description.
Very nice video,and fantastic wood!!!
can you stain these projects afterwards to give them a darker appearance? I'm new to woodturning and don't want to mess up a project after all the hard work of turning it
Hi Zaykes,
The wood was dry when I started turning it.
Take care,
Carl
when you started hollowing the urn wouldn't it have been easier to use a forstner bit to hollow the majority of the wood out and stablish a depth before using your gouges?
Where do you get your wood for projects like that one?
Very nice piece! I am curious as to why you reduced speed to sand. I usually sand at the same speed that I finish cutting at.
Hi Carl, newby question, what type of parting tool did you use for the final parting off? 15:56 I only having a 1/16" and it won't let me under cut to leave a concave bottom. I need to get one to do that with. It looks like a beading/parting tool. Thanks.
This was a 1/4" parting tool, I think Robert Sorby.
What is that stuff called that you put on your sand paper?
@yort81 Thank you,
@dewoodie Great stuff keep them coming.
Your Back! haha happy to see you again.
Where can I buy wood like that?

Beautiful wood!!!
as usual very nice when did you start turning
@ballsackTbager Thank you,
@fishinninja18 I got this piece off the beach several years ago.
Nice work again ,nonetheless. Beautiful birds eye maple?
i have tried this once but when i got the wood on my hands it was so hot? dont you think its hot?
i havd to use gloves!
Question? When sanding with the paste wax, you put the piece of sandpaper back into the can. Does the dust and dirt coming from the sandpaper affect the wax that you have left in the jar?
John R I don't think it really does, I wipe it off between each grit.
Hi Carl nice urn. Must have been a pretty large dog though. I have a chart that shows you how much space you need for the number of pounds of live weight. If you want it let me know. How do you like that new lathe?
Can you glue this to a scrap and screw it to a face plate
I dont have a chuck for my lathe yet
i've seen that you turn duck and goose calls...if you are a turkey hunter you could probably turn a slate or a crystal call too...your videos have inspired me to get my own lathe and am gonna pick it up sunday!
Carl, My friend....I love turning Maple..and that is an awesome piece! Very Nice!! :~)
Another great video, sad the dog died though. Might be a bit much for me to try in my small area, but i'd sure like to. I'm in the process of working on another bowl right now.
Was that dry wood. A large piece to have dried without cracking?? I like the way you get on with the job without a lot of nonsense.
Thank you Anthony, yes it was a dry piece of Maple.
As allways, butiful work!
But how do you make sure it does not dry and crack ?
- Zaykes
always a pleasure............

blanks big enuf for an urn. Thanks. Jan .....
Hi Janice, here are two suppliers you might check out. gobywalnut.com/ and instagram.com/worldwide_burl/?hl=en
Thanks Carl. !!! I'll check them out !
About 19 years ago.
Hey Carl!
Just curious. What was the can that you were dipping the sandpaper into?Sorry, couldn't read the label.
Hey Mark,
I sand with Howard beeswax, amzn.to/2zAv185
Huh?!?
I'm new to turning so I guess I learned something new today! Does that keep the dust down and the wood from possibly cracking?
Which Easy Wood tool where you using? It looks like the Full-Size Easy Finisher 16" Handle but wasn't sure.
Jay Scott It's the 24" with a round cutter.
very nice!
@caboehr Hi, Can i get a copy of that chart?
Leonard

Thank you! Do you have any wood suppers near you? They should have a piece big enough to make one of these.
Carl, What was the volume of the urn? Do you have the dimensions. I am wanting to make one for my dog and he was 72 lbs.
+Jesse & Susan Horn This one was for a large dog too. I'm not sure on the volume it's 5" x 8" but I'd make it a little bigger for a larger dog.
Take care,
Carl
Thank you, Carl. I do enjoy watching your demonstrations. Thank you for your assistance and wisdom.

Ok, I just didn't want to mess anything up. Thanks for the info. And I just found a lathe in the back of my grandpa's shed so I'm excited to start turning!
Thank you Carl. Sadly I must make one for my Maverick.
Sorry the dog died but great video Carl. Thanks for mentioning Diameter too :)
I just wish I could get wood as easily as you :)
@walshjp17 Great idea,
@FloppyHatPhotos it was probably a log that he had started turning before the video.
@fishinninja18 it was probably a log that he had started turning before the video.
5 inch wide, 8inch high,You followed the Golden ratio Fibonacci sequence.
Achievement get! Getting Wood
Wow, I'm pretty sure that by pet urn, he means the vase the you put the ashes of your dead animal in.
I've heard of pet rocks before but never a pet urn. If I had a pet urn I'd call it Phil
@zakokiller Probably because it was wet wood.
I feel sorry for the dog that died :(
@joeynuggetz haha i was thinking the same thing. Then i though... So if someone makes a pet urn... this means that someone actually had a pet that died... and they actually spent the money to cremate it. People actually spend that much money on their pets??????
Kissss
nice one Carl
how do you work out the measurement for the ashes? ie: cat vers dog??
1 pound = 1 cubic inch you can also use something like rice to measure it.
