Woodturning - The Holly Surprise.... IT WON'T Disappoint!

Video Description

I started this piece a few months ago and wasn't sure what to do with the crack, so had it sat on the side waiting for me to think of an idea. That's what I love about Woodturning, no two pieces are the same, and every piece of wood has its flaws. I knew I wanted to preserve the crack in some way so thought the best way was to lace it in leather strips. How do you think I did? The piece has been sanded to 1200 grit and finished with red dye and wood wax. ________________________________________________________________ Social Media: Instagram: harrysmith_woodturning TikTok: @harrysmithwoodturning Second Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/HarrySmithShorts Designed By HS Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DesignedbyHS Email for quotes and queries: [email protected] __________________________________________________________________________ Starbond: Use the code: HarrySmith , for 10% OFF Site-Wide - https://starbond.com/ __________________________________________________________________________ Axminster: This channel is supported by Axminster.

Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first. And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so.
