- One way of treating wood that's solid but a mass of surface splits and defects is to char and brush the surface to create an ancient-looking object. The final stages are not always straightforward, so it's a matter of knowing when to stop.
Wonderful project and one of the things I got the most from was your running commentary. It is very beneficial to listen as you explain what you are doing and why, especially when you change direction. Too many woodturning videos show projects that are executed flawlessly with nary a hiccup. Yours, on the other hand, are real-life and teach how do deal with the unexpected. Thanks very much.
Love the use of the magnet. Very neat trick. Will remember that one !
I always learn something new when watching your videos. The trick of placing a rare earth magnet on the tool to help judge depth is a great idea and I know it will come in handy in the future for me.
By far my favorite piece you've done. Wow, just wow.
Another priceless video, Sir Richard. Instant patina with rustic character. Thanks!
What a wonderful outcome. And it was really nice to follow along on your discovery of this very interesting finished piece. Thank you for your clear explanation as you went and allowed us to closely follow along. This really makes me want to try out burning. Richard, thank you very much.
I've literally seen every one of the videos on this channel, and this is my favorite. Thank you for sharing.
thanks Joe, you've got me started watching, I now have two of his books with another on the way
I am placing this video along side your rust patina one. Wonderful surface treatments. You are my favorite woodturning teacher!
I've done burning on a few turnings but not to that extent. I was worried it would crack so bad that I would have to continue the burning in the fire place. Beautifully done and a very good lesson learned. Thank you for sharing and teaching!
Take care, Dave
Freaking awesome Richard. Got yourself an ancient artifact. Beautiful.
This video was quite a fascinating ride of emotions. You did so many things that were counter intuitive to me. You burned it beyond what I imagined and then hit it with the most aggressive brushing I've ever seen. I love the imagination that created that piece.
Analyzing the wood as step one is probably the most important step of the process - most turners rarely recognize the importance or value in what the wood is saying, vs what the human thinks they want it to say
Great video Richard... awsome use of split wood
Great detailed project Richard, thanks for sharing the information
Take care
Cheers
Harold
Thanks Richard
Richard, I must say that was interesting watching you turn that pot, you seem to be doing most of the turning by guess work. You cant beat experience. Well done
Love it! Going to give it a go myself. Thanks for the vid.
Wonderful Piece of Art Mr.Raffan, you make it look like an antique Vase from a Time long ago
That was one of my favorite videos fine sir. Love the burning technique.
Beautiful work of art!
Wonderful ancient finish!
Very interesting. Never tried burning before because the things I've seen from others just didn't look "right" to my eye. But you showed more detail about how to get a result that's more pleasing. Thanks. Another thing to try. And I do have some split wood kicking around that I haven't wanted to use.
Beautiful pot, Richard.
Yep, end grain hollowing is much harder work in ironbark. At least that chunk is fairly wet.
Lovely work, thank you for sharing
Quite fascinating to watch. Looks like it was freshly unearthed from an archeological dig as others have stated. I quite like the effect.
Interesting project. I've not done any burning for a while myself. Love how the pot came out. You could now go tell people you worked in a coal mine with those blackened hands, lol.
Thank you for your videos they are a tremendous learning tool!
If possible would you consider a video on how you hold the tools and how each grip aids in control and maneuverability. You always seem to clear shavings much quicker and more efficiently than I do
I"ve been wondering how to approach that one.It's on my list.
"Knowing when to stop." That's a problem I see with many who use texturing tools, especially chatter tools.
Nice vessel. 👍
Interesting.......Looks like something Indiana may have acquired through his travels. 😉
I like it. thankyou
I think it’s beautiful, I mean no disrespect if this wasn’t what you were going for, but I think it looks like an ancient pot fresh from an archaeological dig and that’s one of the things I love about it. If that was the whole idea of what you were going for then I love it even more👍🏻❤️
It was very much what I expected if the silver didn't work out. I made quite a few of these earlier this century and the tailend of the last.
Holy grail 🔥🧯Should this vase ever be found in some archeological undertaking 2’000 years from now, this will certainly cause some head-scratching… 🤔😂 Well done, fun project, would scare the hell out of me for fear of burning our barn down…
A very messy process Richard but it turned out great.
I love watching a project get “designed on the fly.” A to Z back to A.
An interesting technique. A pity about the splits and borer holes, because the play of the grain looked awesome. You make potters sound like some secret society. ;-) Your bed seems to be in two parts, is that part of the lathe, or 'extra' and what are the advantages of a long and a short bed? Also nice bowl for the oil. Thanks for another wonderful and informative video.
The whole point of burning was to enhance the splits and holes that help to produce the ancient look. This VL150 has a 500mm bed extension which enables me to turn lengths of about 800mm. The oil bowl is the endgrain bowl from th-cam.com/video/EayQJu1jIvE/w-d-xo.html. It warped, which I wasn't expecting.
Another great project, especially combined with the other one where you cut the blank.
I will try to develop a small, convenient set-up to get quick still photographs of the inside such vessels with a camera mount to put on the lathe bed and a small LED light.
Any take on hollowing tools like hooks, rings and cup tools?
Does the burning of the pot help keep it from splitting more? I've seen some Japanese pots online and they all seem to have a great deal of splits. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Generally the same seasoning rules apply to all woods. This wood was still fairly green so further splitting is always a possibility although it's not happened yet. The pot was made six weeks a go and shows no sign of splitting. If it does split, I'll burn out the splits.
Maybe if you used two cameras, it could be an interesting cut from the side direction and from the front direction. It would certainly be very beneficial (that's not a complaint) 👌👍
Do you spend most of your day at the lathe, or is this now more of a hobby?
interesting piece, What caliper is that you use sir?
They're made by Lee Valley Tools.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning thank you
Last burning I did was not nearly as much as yours but managed to make the piece crack completely open. Very disappointed.
Thanks for the video, but to me it looks like a dog's breakfast. It's convinced me not to try burning a perfectly good piece of wood.
Looks like it cuts nicely, not a wood i have tried
Works very nicely. It's widely used for flooring.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning very nice pot, i have used burning before but you have inspired me to try it more aggressively.
I’m really liking this effect, shiny is not my specialty, it just looks like Something to show off the dust that accumulates in my house. I made some pieces of furniture with “distressed “ wood and crackle paint and visitors gravitate towards them more than other pieces I’ve made I’d like to combine this effect with the paint you used in another video. I’d also like to mention that my house is being overrun with small decorative beads!!!
Turns very nicely.
Hmmmm...
Global retail figures for the month of February show a steep rise in the sales of small butane gas torches. The Minister for Trade was unable to account for this dramatic sales increase. Greetings from Tasmania Australia. 🧐😳👍🇦🇺🦘
Pyromaniacs rule....
I have a burning desire to have a crack at that! Cheers from MT USA!
