Woodturning - Live Edge Endgrain Red Cedar Centerpiece w/ Copper Inlay 

I love working with cedar, and the smell is nice too. Beautiful 👌👍

You never disappoint your work is very beautiful. Looks like a flower cedar I’m sure smells amazing. Take care .

Great job. Enhancing the crack with inlay was perfect. You would do well in making those thin walled flowers.

Really like this piece. Well done. The split filled with copper is a fine solution. Great job.

Turned out so well, I enjoyed seeing the reloading scoop used to add your Copper

I think a love feed tooling talk would be killer. Hopefully if you do it I will be able to watch.

Beautiful piece Todd. Love red cedar.

I really like it, Todd. The shape plus the natural edge make it look like a flower. I like the base, too. Bill

I bet the shop smells wonderful

Good looking piece and I bet that the shop smelled good after the turning of that cedar log

That bowl looks awesome! Thank you for sharing the video!

You managed to make a masterpiece out of a disasterpiece! Great work.

Absolutely gorgeous work! Love the red cedar too!

Nice save Todd, great job. 🌞

Beautiful job ! REALLY DIFFERENT

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tooling video - yes 👍

Wow it turned out better that I thought it would so great job thanks

Well done. I am currently turning a freshly cut piece of Cedar into a Vase. It will be on my lathe for weeks. The reason is, as it dries and splits, I am filling the splits with Resin and glitter. I hope I can save it as the colours in the wood are beautiful.

Nice save!!! Nice turning!! End turnings are are always tough; particularly deep hollowing cuts without a steady rest. You must have a light touch to keep it from flying off the lathe. Next time, try some Milliput to fill in the large cracks. It comes in Standard (Yellow/Grey), Terracotta, Silver Grey, Black and Superfine White. I use mostly Terracotta and black.

Encore une belle réussite.... Bravo

Looks real pretty. I like it. From Ohio.

Cedar just begs to be turned end grain with a natural edge! I was pretty nervous when you were out there on that thin rim, but it held together. Great call on the copper crack repair...looks great! Just a beautiful piece overall.

Very impressive Todd!👍

Stunning piece!! Reminds me a little of Yamabiko's work. I bet that smelled amazing to turn too.

Wow what a Stunning piece love it

Good work brother. I snuck a peek at it yesterday 👀👀👀. Love you homie ❤️

Beautiful piece. I love the beauty of Cedar. That copper inlay came out beautiful! YES, do a live stream.

Maybe someday I can make something like that too? It's so cool.👍👍

Love the vase

I like it. Nice shape and color. Clever way to repair the cracks. First time see your videos - I will be back. I will say, if had a piece of cedar with that much white sapwood on the outside, I may have been tempted to keep the outside all white - keeping the red interior as a surprise with some shape of a lidded turning.

Nice recovery on the crack. I'll have to try the copper on my next disaster, I usually use fine coffee grounds.

Stunning piece! Great work!

Beautiful turning.

Gorgeous!

Looks awesome. Good job

Great job

Sweeeeeet

Krásné

That is so beautiful piece yo

Beautiful

It's beautiful and you did an amazing job turning it also!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

Very nice looking piece. I have turned tons of it in the past 20 years. Love working with it. Would like to pass on some very friendly advice. Face shield and dust mask when turning and sanding. Please 🙏🏻.

Love it

I love the natural edge at the top. Great fix of the crack. Just lovely kind of wood. It makes such a beautiful shading to it all. Love it! 😸

It turned out amazing! Great save... looks awesome with the natural colours, and the copper. Great video 😁💙

That is the way to persevere throughout the process. Beautiful piece

A free style beauty. Great turn my friend. Looks like a flower from the top. I really love it.

Beautiful artistry as always

Looks great 👍

Beautiful job inspired me to try it

❤❤❤it

You never cease to amaze us!! Turned a wicked nasty crack into a thing of beauty!!

Another awesome piece! The colors aew stunning. The copper really works.

...nice recovery!...the coloring and shape are both amazing...👍 Matt

That is one beautiful vase. Great shape and you added to the natural beauty with the copper inlay. Great work.

Love that live edge and the copper inlay. It's a beautiful piece!

Nice one Buddy

Great work ❤️

In my top 5, for sure. So beautiful.

Very nice work beautiful I'm going to try this hope it works for me also

Fantastic work as always Todd my friend. Love watching how you overcome any issues that arise. Keep the great content coming. And as for a live stream, I'm always up for the chance to chat in real time with you.

Parabéns amigo bela peça 🇧🇷

Really nice piece buddy, enjoying your channel, and I'm glad you're back keeping us entertained. Look forward to the next 1. Thanks 😊

I don't think the form is odd I think it is great and I like how you didn't give up and how you fixed the problem. Great piece

Beautiful wood, beautiful work, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out what to use it for. I still love it though.

That came out really nice. I love the copper inlay. One question : is that real copper powder, or copper colored mica? The end result looks like real copper. Beautiful Dude!

Awesome stuff man, really beautiful work. Did you just sand down some copper tubing that you had and collect the dust? Thanks for sharing! ✌️❤️🍻🖖

What do you think about turning a bucket? Just a simple pail.

Great, looking peace brother I also love the look of red cedar and the live edge. Nice touch. I understand you make face plates I’d like to get one with a reverse thread, 8 TPI so I can turn on the outboard side of my lathe let me know if that’s possible Thanks

Very spectacular. Shame about that crack.

Copper makes it better

Beautiful! When I tried making copper powder I ended up with sandpaper grit mixed with the copper. I used 60 grit paper. Any suggestions? Did you use a special sandpaper?

Beautiful piece ... but I was a little distracted trying to figure out what that thing on the floor behind you is, it sure looked like a big snake coiled around a tree branch!

Very nice, Sir. Do you have a favourite wood to work with? Interested.

What happened to the steady rest you made a couple of years ago?

I love the color of cedar and the aroma but the aromatic resins can be very irritating to breathe for me so i always wear my Trend Air Pro power filter safety visor system ,and am planing to build a dust eductor system You can reduce some of the wobble by reducing how much you have the tail stock extended Ifind cedar shavings and dust irritating to my skin , so I wear either a long sleeve smock or a nylon wind breaker with elastic cuffs and nalgene gloves Neat idea to use your Lee powder dipper to pour copper filings in the cracks I wear a welders skull cap under my helmet , and wear bifocal safety glasses at all times even under my full face respirator , face shield or Trend An industrial arts professor of a basic wood production class that I took in 1978 told us students to always wear eye safrty in wood shop because , unlike metal shavings , that can be removed from eyes in ER using a magnet , wood splinters require surgery . And to always wear respiratory protection Keep safe and happy turning
