  • This Hawaiian Kiawe wood is used as cooking/smoking firewood, which supposedly imparts tropical flavors to grilled or smoked meats! The more you know...
    Thank you all so much for watching! This is my 27th filmed project, and it was quite a beast! Not only was this wood far more dense and hard than I anticipated, but it also was completely end-grain, which meant my Tormek sharpener worked overtime. It wasn't until late in the making process of this piece that I realized there was dust behind the lens of my camera, so I sent it off for cleaning and repairs. Sadly, that means I am without a decent video camera for a few weeks. So if my next upload is a bit late, then that will mean it has taken ages to get my camera back... Yep, first world problems...

    I am a retired Senior Master of Art (Teaching) in South Australia & until now I have ben a silent viewer of your really great work. This piece is a real piece of Art from a lathe, a piece that deserves to be on display as a piece of Art, not just as another woodturning bowl. Rather than just watch your great skill in woodturning, I would love to hear you as you talk your way through a project. I do love your work, I would rather you produce a 'sound' video rather than a 'silent' video. Great piece of woodturning Art & beautiful 'finish'. Cheers, Don from South Aust.

    The initial phases of this video had me sitting back from the screen.....I thought your lathe was going walk out the door and take a stroll by the lake! I wish I could afford to send you another invasive and beautiful species of wood...the Rainbow Eucalyptus...which is plentiful here where I live on Kauai. Beautiful craftsmanship as always....best wishes and stay healthy.

    @margaretdellinger2872 Před 2 lety

    Hi David, I just want to let you know that you do very good by putting the century on your dates. Most of the wood turning folks don't do that and I highly recommend it to all. I was taught that decades ago with my needlework to always put the 4 digits in the dates.
    Your work is outstanding and it will hold the test of time so properly dated pieces is appropriate.
