Turn the Pith Out of It!

In this video, Turn the Pith Out of It, I explain what the pith is and why, as a woodturner, you should care. I show how to deal with the pith including times you can leave the pith in a project.

I’ve watched several videos on this and yours is the best because you go farther than others explaining why the pith needs to be removed or dealt with. It’s like watching a MasterClass. Thank you!

I've been watching your videos on and off all of which I have enjoyed especially this one thank you John

mike, I have enjoyed your video about the pith. I have made many mistakes and now know how careful to be and read the wood.

Love the title...it's great. As far as the split in the urn, maybe it's time to start adding resin casting into some projects...I can picture a deep blue resin stripe filling the crack...

I have enough wood to make a log cabin for be Lincoln...according to my wife. The video opens up possibilities for turning good wood and paying attention to the location of the pith. The featuring of the pith and resultant cracks is called ambiance?

Lots of great information, Mike. Nice work, and thanks for sharing.

Thanks from a beginner with lots of bowl blanks cut too close to the pith. I'll resaw them to get farther way so they won't pith me off later.

Always good to remind me. All my wood is from trees donated by family and friends. I think some of it is because I make them a bowl from that tree.
