Monster Woodturning! - Wrestling with the Spikiest Piece Ever

Video Description

In this video, I take on one of the most challenging woodturning projects I’ve ever encountered—a monstrously spiky piece of Monkey Puzzle wood that feels more like a creature than a log! From its jagged spikes to its tough, gnarled texture, this wood seemed determined to put up a fight. Watch as I wrestle with this beast on the lathe, transforming it into a unique and striking vase. It’s a battle of skill, patience, and sheer determination against the spikiest wood I've ever turned. Will it conquer me, or will I tame this monster?
