Welcome to the MDW Woodcrafting's CZcams Channel!
I started woodturning in 2012 at the age of 22, and soon found that I had a passion for transforming what many people would see as a piece of firewood into beautiful and useful objects. I love being able to give new life to trees that would otherwise be lost to time.
Thank you for your interest in what I do, if you find it interesting please like and subscribe.

Turning a Small Cocobolo Bowl 2-26-15

Cocobolo or “Dalbergia retusa” is a true rosewood species ranging from Mexico to South America. Not only is it one of the most beautiful woods in the world, but it also works wonderfully on the lathe!
It would seem its all about the soloist. People setting down a beat for him to do his thing. Seems pretty pointless. A lot of work for one guy to show off.
He is a truly great hand drummer. One of the best.
I miss seeing the videos of Weddie and Amadou drumming on CZcams
Thank You Matthew... First time watching. Cocobolo I LOVE but I can not turn often. My skin just cannot take it. I react like a mild case of poison Oak, ugh! I am a machinist and turn wood only when needed for a project. Usually only small projects that need fancy handles. I like your polishing wax technique and I will try it for my future projects. Matthew I have an interest in threading wood. Have you ever taken your small turnings to the next level of having a threaded lid ? I have not but I do expect to practice with this idea in the future. TM
I'm fortunate in that cocobolo does not give me any reaction, but I still try to limit my exposure. I have not done any threaded lids. In woodturning it either requires hand chasing them with special tools or a threading jig that I don't have.
Damn Matthew, You make it looks so easy Lol. It's very obvious you've done more than a few bowl turns man. Great Job thanks for the video
I'm new to turning but from all the CZcams videos that I've seen I think cocobolo is my favorite wood. It's gorgeous, and I like the simple finish you apply.
Great job Mathew!
Really nice job. .......... What can you put on Cocobolo to keep the color bright?
I’m making 16 of these exact size cups. We deal with small washers nuts screws, etc... on my biomed team. I wanna give them out to my teammates to carry around in their toolboxes. No reason they can’t be beautiful, right? Hey btw, is that a 40/40 grind? Anyway solid work bud. Beautiful wood. 👍🔥
Nice piece of work. Cocobolo looks great. I just wasnt too pleased with the very flat bottom. Could have been tapered better. And a nicer finish line.
holding that blade in there is so dangerous. Finish the bottom the correct way , with tools
Please clarify as to what you are referring to as I'm not sure what you mean by your statement? What blade at which point in the video?
He's a great teacher cus i was in his class before
Fantastic job!! Well done!!
I used to finish hardwood turnings with 1950-60's bowling alley wax 😂 beautiful work!
2 coats wax finish, why not 1 coat in reverse?
I'm not quite sure I'm understanding your question, so let me know if I'm not on point! When I sand the pice, I reverse direction after ever grit, but when applying this polishing wax finish, I don't find any need to. Hope this helps!
When I worked with Cocobolo all I used was wax. It was one of my favorites, till I saw how the color darkened, and faded with time. By applying a coat in reverse it ensures coverage on the leading and trailing edges of the pores. Not that big of an issue. I like your work, just mentioned it. Carry on.
Ok thanks Matt. I’ll check it out. Like the Robust lathe.... One of these days..... 😊 Ron
Very nice Matt. Where do you sell your items? Ron
Great video !
How long overall did it take to make? Great vid though, loved it.
What is the reason for freezing versus making a paste.
Nice work - love the way it turned out.
So beautiful! I love it!
Hey an American Beauty Lathe by Robust Tools... Tim Yoder would be so proud of you 😄
Love it
Coco Bolo turns great, cuts like plastic. Smooth but dusty.
this is where jazz drumming originated
Please make another video!
sanja is other name for lamba or jelidon. one of the trickiest grooves and thus Weedie counts it on incorrectly. His "one" is rushed by one quaternote. cheers
Maestro, you should make a video demonstrating.
LOL do you know who you are talking about? Weedie is playing the djembe since the age of two. I would trust him rather than any one else. Sanja is actually very tricky for the rest of us but Weedi’s précision deserves anything but admiration.
My name is Cheng Socheat, I am in Cambodia, I have many Cocobolo burls, Rosewood burls in my room. Anybody wants to have them?
Such an amazing rosewood. Love the colors of it.
it turns much darker
weed
love it jah
You should make more videos. Really nice job. Thumbs up and subscribed.
miss you at our drum circle Weediy 😢I know you are super busy
Weedie.
Can I ask how much pumice to beeswax you use to make the finish?
I don't really measure but probably about 4 tablespoons of the pumice per ounce of beeswax! P.S. Sorry for the late reply!
Thanks!
Enjoyed this video, any chance you will make videos again?
Yes, I totally plan on it, but have not gotten around to it for some reason!
Beautiful job.
Very nice. What kind of rhythm was he teaching here?
The rhythm was "Sanjan" if I remember correctly!
Beautiful rhythm. I learn and play w- african rhythms on djembe and dunduns for more than a decade, but have never come across or worked on this one. I like it's offbeat feel and accents. Thank you.
Correction, the rhythm is "Lamba"! My apologies!
No problem. Thnx!
Lamban rhythm
Great video - that finish is amazing. Definitely going to try and make a batch. Thanks dude.
this is so cool!
god job..awesome wood cocobolo
Beautiful, nice work!
