Woodturning - This Log Had Some Hidden Surprises!

- In this video I make two snowmen out of Spalted Silver Birch.
When I was looking for a piece of wood for this project I came across this Silver Birch that I had cut about 2 years ago. I was expecting some pretty character as Birch always looks golden and creamy, however, the Spalting lines were superb and so much better than I could have expected. The long black lines are perfectly highlighted by the white interior and the creamy colour of the untouched birch.
The Hats of the Snowmen are Yew from my garden which never disappoints. All the pieces were sanded to 1200 grit and finished with Sanding sealer and wood wax.
Is this the best Spalting you've ever seen? Let me know what you think.

My videos are for entertainment purposes only. Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first.
And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so. - Jak na to + styl

I think the Spalting lines look superb, and so much better than I could have expected. The long black lines are perfectly highlighted by the white interior and the creamy colour of the untouched birch 🌲♥
You’re right that log had some wonderful surprises in it. Beautiful work as usual.
Hi Harry the spalting on the log and orange core inside this log is beautiful, the colouring is wonderful. This is a magnificent and unique piece you've turned you are so talented and a masterwoodturner. Thank you for such a marvellous piece. Amansa xx
Amazing!!!! Looks like a tiger striped snow man!! Too cool!!!
You sawed off most of the bark inclusion at the beginning only to shave even more off with the woodturning process itself. They turned out great though! An odd couple out for a stroll, even the knots and inclusions added character to them! Absolutely stunning pieces Harry! You really found the characters in the grain this time! 😁👍👍

Fun project. Absolutely stunning wood!
Fantastic wood 😮 beautiful spalting and everyone loves a snowman ⛄ Happy New Year Harry, hope you get some snow! ❄ 😀
Thank you! The Spalding just looks fantastic doesn't it! I hope you have a good new year sol 😊
Fantastic skill, brilliant.

❤very nice❤ Happy New Year 🎉
Wonderful 🎉. Happy New Year Harry 🎊
Awesome
Thank you Debra! Happy new year to you! 😁👍
Beautiful sir have a happy New Years
I have cheated. I bought a 6 inch chainsaw so when I need to do cuts like that, I could have a piece right on my lathe and do it really easy. I have nerve damage in my shoulders and down my back so trying to saw it like you’re doing hurts. But that little 6 inches chainsaw is fabulous. Why do you rub the shavings against the project before the cloth? The spalted wood is gorgeous and using a contrasting wood for the snowmen has made these really adorable. Great job!!
Great stuff and a lovely grain effect
Thank you! The Spalting just looks fantastic! 😁😊
spalting is a new one on me. Is that the pattern in the wood created where shoots of branches have grown ?@@HarrySmithWoodturning
@@Les-OZZYTHEOSCAR Spalting is the black lines in wood caused by a fungi in the tree. It is the beginning of the rotting process (i think) but if you cut the tree down on time you get the spalting affect without the wood being rotten. Hope this helps!
Great, thanks I've learned something today 😁@@ebwoodwork
Beautiful pieces Harry hope you have a safe and Happy New Year
Thank you Joe! Happy new year to you too!! 😁
Well done, they make me laugh , great pieces. Merry Christmas and thank you for entertaining me .😊
Thank you Bev! I'm glad I keep you entertained! Happy new year when it comes😁👍
Very nice! I really need to get back to turning. Ever since I got my CNC machine, I haven't been on the lathe much.
Harry i'm totally new - just got a lathe and binje watching to learn. What is the rubbing of the item with shavings for?
Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
It’s for buffing. The shavings are the same hardness as the wood so should leave minimal scratches. Like superfine sandpaper
Thanks for watching Gavin! Basically, I use the shavings to buff and lightly sand the sanding sealer after it has dried, it removes most imperfections in the sealer and allows for a smoother finish. Hope this helps 😁👍
Thanks for watching, hopefully my replay to Gavin helps! 😁
Thanks @@HarrySmithWoodturning
Great vlog Harry. Is that "linseed oil"you put on at end? 🎉
И что это?
😮 obviously a football ⚽️ 🙄!!!
