I quite like the result. Nothing wrong with pine as long as you don't hit a pitch pocket. LOL. And thanks for posting this. I did learn a thing or two that I can use.
I have a 1928 house. In our attic were very tight grain pine boards 5cm thick 30 cm wide. We think it was cut over 110 years ago. I put a piece on my lathe, and when the gouge touched it, the smell of fresh pine filled the air. I wish I could send you a piece.
Alas, most of the pine we grow here in New Zealand grows so fast that the grain is generally completely uninteresting. It's fine for utility pieces, but it seldom makes anything very attractive in itself.
Sweet! I especially enjoyed the "stepped beading" technique on the upper outside rim. Don't believe I've ever seen that technique before. Very nicely done! 👍
I’m in the process of practicing spindle work. I have zero ideas about what to turn, so I’m turning spintops. Since fir here in northern Italy is the least expensive wood, I am using fir… pretty unforgiving wood.
I think that's brilliant! Might be "useless" but would sell well in our local art markets and craft fairs for sure! You always teach me something new and inspire me to keep at it!

Wow, look what you “found”…hiding in that block of wood. I love that relaxing distraction. Great work, as always!
Clever trick to cut the masking tape. I make boxes without a purpose and they are fun....I understand. Usually end up giving them away.
Sometimes it's fun to just make shavings until you run out of wood or to practice with your gouges to see what happens!

Nice turn Tomislav. Always nice to relax and practice and create something
Excellent. Perhaps an ideal resting place for a small golden sphere or three, or five...
Dodir, maybe useless but turned out pretty good, and pine is good to practice with
Nice work tom, for a bit of pine that came out nice :D
That turned out superb.
Magnifique 🤩
Hello Tomislav: please what is the white finishing you are applying?
Very nice.🙂🙂
Красиво работаешь👍
Привет, Томислав! Ну почему бесполезно, вполне законченная красивая вещь! Отвлекся от работы и хорошо! А чем это белым ты красил в середине видео?
Nice tight grain on that pine.
