Woodturning - The Monkey Puzzle

Welcome to this weeks woodturning video.

Woodturning - The Monkey Puzzle

In this woodworking video I use a woodturning lathe to turn an air dried large piece of monkey puzzle into a 16 inch pedestal platter.

when woodturning a piece like i find it important to nibble away at it until I see what shape the wood wants to be, this is what is so enjoyable about woodturning. big log to bowl, but i find removing the wood in layers allows me to find the best possible shape.

The most ingenious ways of turning a massive piece of wood into a teeny-weeny piece of wood! Whoever has the job of sweeping-up at your place doesn't get paid enough!

I tried to move on but I saw that chunk of wood. Aww, it is georgious. Something is going to be really really breathtaking. I have to watch.

This is the most stunningly beautiful piece I have seen in a long time. And the wood is just awesome.

This is incredible! Weird coincidence... just yesterday, I discovered this wood for the first time and fell in love, now, if only I could find a piece, haha!

Satisfying watching the shavings ribbon off like that, must be marvellous to turn. Lovely piece of work

Absolutely stunning. What a fabulous piece. I bet I am one of many who would love to own this. Xxx

Whoa! The grain is quite special ever. And, you formed the log like a fountain base (laying on pillar) that normally was decorated in old European gardens.

Could you add a fountain in this piece, and take photo of the final outcome? Thanks.

Lovely classic piece. I Like how you used the typical radiating branches of the monkey puzzle tree to make a flower shaped grain pattern in the bowl.

...well, the name of the vid caught my eye and I wondered what it was...then I read the description and found it was a type of wood. Never heard of it so I looked it up (I seem to do that with a lot of your vids...😉)...interesting tree...but it sure makes a beautiful platter!!! At first I thought you were going to turn away all the wood...then realized you were making a pedestal...it looks amazing!...👍👍👍

[johncorr]

That is a beautiful piece of art. Hopefully, it will go to someone that will pass it down to future generations.

[frankszucs]

Beautiful... Very classic Idea..You see in the wood!

The fast-forwarded power chisel sounded like Animal Crossing dialogue.
