- Woodturning a Ambrosia Maple Box with Mahogany Lid and Curly Maple Finial.
Hi my friends! In this video I turned a relatively large box, using dry wood. The base is ambrosia maple. The ambrosia beetle bores the wood and as it goes along doing these perforations, deposits a fungi that grows, and eventually will become food for the beetle. The fungi spreads along the grain in the areas close to the perforations and it changes the wood color. The lid is mahogany. The finial is made with curly maple. Curly maple receives its name because the wood fibers got compressed forming "S"s that make the grain change direction constantly. Then, when the light impacts over the wood, the reflection causes the "fiddleback" effect, some sort of chatoyance that is very pleasing to see.

Disclaimer:
You, and only you, are responsible for your safety in the shop and for your health. The procedures shown in this video, (and my answers to the comments), although they are the ones I consider safe, are not necessarily so for every operator (wood turner, carpenter, etc.). Wood is a heterogeneous and unpredictable material, not two pieces are identical, even when they come from the same trunk of the same tree, shop tools and machines can cause damage to the operator, dust and other physical and chemical contaminants may cause disease and disorders when the operator does not take into consideration adequate protection. Always read operation manuals for your tools and machinery. This video can give you a point to start your research on what is the best for you, but, in any way is the only source of information. The level of experience of the operator is also a factor; procedures that may be safe for an operator that has a lot of experience may not be dangerous for an operator with less experience. If you do not feel safe or confident with a procedure you have seen in my channel, do not repeat it. Be safe and enjoy these activities.
Descargo de Responsabilidad:
Usted, y solo usted, es responsable por su seguridad en el taller y por su salud. Las prácticas mostradas en este video, (y las respuestas a los comentarios) si bien son las que yo considero seguras, no necesariamente lo son para todo operario (tornero, carpintero, etc.). La madera es un material heterogéneo y caprichoso, no hay dos piezas iguales aún en el mismo tronco de un mismo árbol, las máquinas y herramientas del taller pueden causar daño al operario, el polvillo y otros contaminantes físicos y químicos pueden causar enfermedad o trastornos cuando no se toman las precauciones debidas. Siempre lea los manuales de operación de sus herramientas y maquinarias. Este video puede darle un punto de partida en investigar qué es lo mejor para Usted, pero de ninguna manera es la única fuente de información. El nivel de experiencia del operario también es un factor, procedimientos que pueden ser muy seguros para un operario de experiencia pueden no serlos para operarios principiantes. Si no se siente confiado o seguro con algún procedimiento que ha visto en mi canal no lo repita. Manténganse seguros y disfruten de estas actividades.
Daniel, thanks for another project video. Beautiful work, again. :) I hope work calms down for you in the future to allow more time in the shop. Remember, the shop is where sanity is made.🙂
Hi Richard! Thank you so much, my dear friend, for watching the video and leaving a comment! I also hope that would happen. In the past few weeks I was able to relax a bit, and I turned a few projects and filmed one to begin editing a new video. So, hopefully, next upload won't take that long. The workshop is my paradise, I enjoy it so much that the hours fly when I am there! So, I completely agree with your assessment! Cheers! Daniel

Hola Daniel: You have been gone much too long from posting videos. I understand the reasons why, though. This box will be a beautiful gift and I am sure your friends will cherish it very much.
I saw you do some things in the video that I had never considered doing before while turning wood. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? I picked up some nice pointers!!!
