Woodworking and Design is what this channel is about. I'm a designer craftsman of 17yrs, traditionally trained at North Bennet School, The Center for Furniture Craftsmanship, The Savannah College of Art & Design and briefly in Milan Italy. After school, I became the lead furniture designer for the Currey & Company and was responsible for managing 150 designs per year in fifteen factories in five different countries. Traveling to factories around the world gave me insight into many unique building techniques. I’m a dad now and have a wood shop in Boston building high end wood lighting and furniture. This channel is devoted to sharing building techniques, woodworking skills, how-to projects, design tips and just straight up woodworking.
Wood Turning: The Serpentine Vase
Join me on an incredible woodworking journey as I tackle a project that once seemed impossible: crafting a hollow vessel with a stunning barley twist design. This video demonstrates a traditional technique executed with modern tools. The challenges involved in creating this intricate piece, from concept to the final polished vase mainly involve the delicate nature of end grain having short grain issues.
For years, I dreamed of making this unique hollow vessel, but the thought of carving a spiral on the end grain, with its notorious short grain issues, kept me from attempting it. However, after experimenting with another test piece and refining my approach, I discovered a method that not only works but can result into various other forms. The approach is to taper the top so the short grain/endgrain is still supported.

Cool My friend... Cool.😊😊😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you
You're welcome!
This is not in tune!!! Beautiful yes, good job yes, but is not tuned!!! I’m musician, the xylophone is not in tune, you play real E when you suppose to be playing C. (That could be ok, because you create a xylophone en E) but then when you play the low notes (E G G E D G E in your suppose “C”) it’s out of tune. The xylophone it self is not tuned, in the low register sound soo weird
The coves on the back of the keys were never cut. I had coved some test pieces, but with the basic tuner I had it couldn’t differentiate the keys. There are professional tuners specific for key instruments but it was too expensive. This xylophone was a gift for my 1 week old son who’s now 4. He hasn’t complained about it but maybe if he ever does I’ll revisit the project.
@@JShawFurniture I know it’s a hard work the tunning, sorry about my comment. I just wrote it because I read somewhere in the comments that it was tuned. God job!! 👌🏼
Very good
Thanks Michael!
I just made a unicorn wand using a tapered barley twist... allllll by hand. I like the idea of using a saw to put the twist into the wood first. 😊 I may need to do that
Nice! It’s important to know how to do it by hand. Especially when most things these days are routed or CNC’d.
For viewers, if you suspend the tone bars using rubber grommets then you’ll get a long sustained note instead of the staccato tone.
Thanks! I truly appreciate your earnest to get back to me, and that we could establish a dialog. You are obviously well experienced in this field. I've always appreciated individuals with the hands on experience, and knowledge. Wonderful.
You’re welcome Kerry. Good luck on the project!
P.S. Where do you suggest I look for the best air-dried White Oak? All that Home Dep carries is KD. I sure don't want that!
Thanks so much for your response. I tried yesterday, a water soak solution with Fabric Softener. The strips are 20" long 3" wide, and 1/8" thick. I used 2 strips of Hickory on the inside of the bend, and 1 strip of White Oak on the outside of the bend. Everything bent perfectly into place. However, as this is my first time, I'm sure I made mistakes prepping. For one thing when I removed the 3 strips from my jig this morning there was still moisture on the inside of the Strips. 2. I used YELLOW Glue! another mistake. These 3 strips are now on the jig with the Yellow glue. I'll check it out tomorrow. 3. There was still some visible moisture seen on the surface of the strips when I applied the Yellow Glue. I wasn't happy with this first try! Now that I have your valued advice and suggestions. I'll start again, and this time I'll cut 3 stirps using all White Oak. I cannot find any green wood in any type. I like the White oak however. What do you think about my use of the cold water solution? I have a steam box made, and it heats up to 212 Degrees, and I use 2-40 minute cycles. I think I will prefer to use the strips of 1/8" thickness rather than trying to bend a solid piece of 3/8" thick White Oak. The minimum with width for these stirrups is 3". I do use a wench that has a 3" wide belt, and its mounted to the table top just behind the jig. It does a wonderful job of pulling the wood around the jig. In fact coming out of the cold water solution I could bend it around by hand. However, I use the wench to hold the wood in place against the jig, then place dowel metal rods against the outside of the wood. This first try, is only a practice to see what I need to do, as I have no one with me to assist. Trial and error. Please, any advice you may wish to assist me with is greatly appreciated. As I said I am a disabled veteran, and this is a confidence builder. I hope I/ve explained all this in a reasonable manner.
It’s great that you got the bend. If you’re able to get 3 pieces that are 1/8” thick and then laminate them, that method is perfectly fine. Before taking them out of the jig, the pieces need to be dried. You can either wait a week to let them dry in the jig naturally or speed it up by making a drying kiln. A drying kiln is very simple, you just need a hot lamp, (either an incandescent bulb or halogen) and pink foam board around the piece. The bulb should be at least 10” away from the material (further away if using a halogen). Drying the pieces will reduce spring back and allow the wood to settle into its new form so it’s ready to be glued. It won’t take very long since they’re only 1/8” thick. In the winter, I use my wood stove to dry steam bends which works great. For buying air dried wood, I usually find suppliers on Facebook marketplace. There are a lot of Tree cutters on there that will often sell boards for cheap.
I really watching your methods. I am wanting to build my own saddle stirrups. I have a center jig made and have the dowel pins that fit into holes around the jig. However, I've tried using white and red oak by steaming, and water soaking. Each time I begin the bend from the top of the jig, the wood gives out around the first bend at the foot, or bottom of the stirrup. I happen to be using KD (kiln dried) wood. I am even cutting these into 1/8" stirps. However, the always give out? Am I making a mistake using KD wood? If so, where would I get wood that is not KD? I am a disabled veteran, so I am doing this as a confidence builder. Are you able to offer any suggestions. I steamed these strips (1/8") for 40 minutes plus at times over 212 degrees. I would much rather be able to do this COLD! Shape them using the yellow wood glue. The width of these strips are 3".
Hi Kerry, Kiln-dried wood is always more challenging to bend because the lignin (glue) inside of the wood has plasticized and hardened from the Kiln. Air-dried hasn't gone through that process, so it's much easier for bending. Red Oak is not good for steam bending, but white Oak is excellent. When you're steam bending, are you using a strap to reinforce the wood fibers while bending? Also, what are the lengths of the pieces? You definitely need a thin metal strap with the piece held in tension to get a successful bend. I would make the wood pieces longer for the bend and then cut them to size after so you have more leverage. I'm not too familiar with saddle stirrups, but because it will be used outdoors and get a lot of wear and tear, lamination might be the way to go. If you do go with a cold bent lamination, do not use yellow glue (Yellow glue can delaminate from humidity); instead, use epoxy or Unibond adhesives. It will be much stronger and will never delaminate.
This is a beautiful design! But you could step it up even high by carving notches just before the ends of the spirals at the top and weave jute or use tree roots around it and incorporate bead work too!
Thanks! This was the first hollow vessel barely twist where the spiral comes up and over the top. It was never quite finished but I’m just happy the end grain has held up over the years.
Ok 😮that’s really really impressive
Wooden Spikeball net here I come!
Thanks for first demonstrating the sound. After hearing that, I'm out
I want to try steam bending to make a Lyre, is there any issue when steam bending circular cut wood? As opposed to rectangular?
For a lyre you should be able to cut the form out of a thick piece of wood. Unless you’re talking about a Lute which I think is made of laminations that are coopered
Very cool. Giving me some ideas
That is cool, love the video, thanks for sharing.
Glad to hear it 👍
Thanks for the video. Very informative and well produced. You mentioned the use of bendy ply, and I know it works well for some applications. However, in Australia where I live, the sheets only come in 2440 x 1220mm and is often way too large for some projects. Thanks for showing the three methods.
You're welcome, Les! Yea, the bendy ply here also comes in 4ft x 8ft sheets. It's great when doing large commercial projects but not the best solution for fine furniture.
Thanks to all family members ❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills 🌟🏅
You’re welcome, glad it helped 🙏
Cool project and interesting process. Full View and Like 👍
Thanks Allen, I appreciate it. 🙏
I have made several sets of barley twist candle sticks and know it is a labor of love. Not exactly easy but so satisfying in the end. I like your chisel work following the saw cuts. Thanks for showing us how its done.
Congrats! This is a very well filmed/edited video. I have no clue what is a barley twist, now I have an idea. Very simple instructions! Really enjoyed!
Thanks Ernesto, glad you enjoyed it!
Not a single word of explation about the steaming. How could u not realize that you blatantly missed the most important part?
Thanks for the comment, I should make a video and really dive deep into the steam bending process. The main rules are: 1. The Steam heat should be 200F 2. Wood should steam in the box for 1hr per 1" of thickness (pretty sure that's in the video) 3. Wood should be in tension as it bends. Ash, Oak and Beech bend best
а фрезером эту операцию можно сделать?
Yes, two of them can be done with a router. The exception is the tapered barley twist.
Nice
The best
Thanks 🙏
I like that clamp technique. Thanks

@@JShawFurniture Thanks bro! Keep crushing!
Great job.Don't always have to go the expensive route
Very true!
very nice do you sell these at craft fair
thank you
Thats cool!
Thanks!
Jesse that's ridiculous get that in the house, that's a piece of furniture.
Lol, It is a little fancy for a out-feed table.
@@JShawFurniture nice job , looks spectacular
Beautiful piece of wood 😃😃
Funny I've been making these for some time. Thought I was the only one. Mine are a little differnt. Nice work.
That looks great! Thanks for the tips, I’m going to have to try that myself.
Cool, glad it helped!
Does that apply to real wood
All three pieces are real wood: Ash and Poplar
Great video. Love the outcome! 🤌
Thanks! 👍
Freshly cut loose pieces between the fence and the blade (whithout clearance space) are a great way to get hurt. Either use a spacer or push the fence away and measure some other way, man. Speaking from experience. Cheers!
I’m a professional fine furniture maker, with 20 years of experience on a table saw, no injuries. I appreciate your concern, but there was no instance where I would be injured. The one cut you’re probably referring to was the 1st one, cutting the 8’ mdf sheet, which was unorthodox because the waste piece is in the center and I let gravity remove it. But there was minimal chance of a kickback in that situation. If you’re talking about the crosscutting, I always use a stop block spacer, it may be hard to see from the angle of the video.
Sorry for this newbie question: why do you lay the tool flat on top of the work piece at 1:19?
It’s a very good question. I’m listening/feeling the vibrations the tool makes on the wood. If the sound is consistent and smooth then the wood is a full round cylinder. If the wood has flat surfaces on it the tool will bounce and make an uneven loud sound. This technique makes it so you don’t have stop the lathe to check if the wood is fully round.
@@JShawFurniture Ahhhhh. That makes a lot of sense…. Thanks!
❤❤❤❤
How did you calculate the exact leinght for the correct tuning of the sticks?
You can see the key notes for this xylophone in the blog post below. If you want it in a different octave the easiest way is to go to a local music store and check out their xylophones.
Great video buddy, and where the hell did you get that gouge. 😮
From a wood turner named Alan laser. Back then I had to buy the steel and make the handle, but nowadays it’s a lot easier to find online.

How much would it cost to make 3 hoops 20 inches?
For a 20” Ash hoop 5/8 or 6/8” would be $100 per hoop.

Do you have a template available for the legs
Yes, but they’re not on the website yet. I’ll have them up in the next few weeks.
That’s an easy subscribe
Welcome! 🙏
Great if you have a 100+++ in tools
It is great having quality machines but all the forms can be made without them if you’re creative. Use veneer for laminations and bend it over a pvc pipe. For Kerf bending you can use any type of table saw, just make a good cross fence.
What kind of finish did you use for the bars? Thank you😁
