Woodturning and other kinds of wood art creation. For those of you who are interested in a little info about me, personally, woodworking and wood turning is a hobby I picked up to manage the stress of my real job as the lead pastor of Mission Hills Church, based in Littleton, Colorado. It’s a great church...amazing staff and congregation, but it’s a little on the large side which creates a constant set of stressors. Woodturning is how I keep the stress under control. My wife and I have two daughters and a couple of dogs. Some of my pieces are for sale on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CASWoodcraft

Video Description
I was amazed at how beautiful this project turned out. The wood was a section of a very large Aspen tree from Colorado that had been drying in my garage for the better part of a year. Turns out it had a lot of spalting and natural figuring, which isn’t always the case with Aspen. Aspen wood can often be pretty bland. But this was anything but bland! I was stunned at the beauty that was revealed. Because Aspen is pretty soft, I did have to apply a fair amount of sanding sealer, but the end result was wood that is pretty strong and sanded butter smooth.
