woodturning green branches in 5 easy steps with the pith 

With these 5 easy steps anyone can wood turn green end grain branches and logs by centering the pith. This minimizes the chances of having cracks form around the pith while it dries. I am using a 6 inch diameter piece of spalted maple to make this vase.

There are risks involved with woodturning. My videos are only for entertainment purposes. If your not familiar with the turning techniques I use consult with an experienced instructor or mentor. Always use appropriate eye, face, and lung protection while woodturning.
