In this video i mill an 80mmx80mmx220mm spindle blank from a seasoned Elm Burl and turn it into a Bud Vase.
I begin by milling the burl on the bandsaw to square a piece for the lathe. Once the piece is mounted on the lathe and brought to round I turn a tenon on one end to mount the piece in my chuck so I can bore a 20mm hole down what will be the neck of the vase. With the hole bored I'm then able to start removing waste material.
As I begin turning I discover that there are some severe cracks through the piece where it has moved while drying. I stabilise the cracks in the neck with epoxy and saw dust to prevent it breaking apart and continue turning. When I have the desired shape i decide to leave the other cracks as a natural feature of the vase.
I sand from 150 through to 600 and apply oil before applying sanding sealer and finishing with friction polish.
The end result is a beautiful Bud Vase and the figuring in the grain of the Elm Burl is exquisite. The cracks also add character to the piece.

Dude, I don't know who you are or where you're from, but that was FUCKING AWESOME! You truly inspired me! I turned my first bowl today, at 65 years old!, and will attempt this feat ASAP! Cheers from Los Angeles!

You're a lucky man to have access to wood like that. Gorgeous form!

@NathanCummingWoodturning 7 лет назад

Jimmie at Stuart Arts thank you. It was a surprise when the man dropped it off, I'm hoping he comes back with more!

The pattern in the wood looks amazing. It looks like fire or smoke patterns. And I think the crack makes it look even better and more natural. I think this deserves more views. Maybe you shouldve made more end pictures with better lighting. Im going to look up more woodturning videos of Elm wood now

@amywhite9386 4 года назад

Great video, love the beautiful wood. Here's a small suggestion, before you start turning , cut the corners off and save them for future pen projects. Very nice work!

@allen2905 7 лет назад

sad that you didn't fill the cracks with tinted resin, glue or some other liquid base that could be turned, so much is done these days with those substances. it would have taken longer to wait for each to harden then turn. ugly can be so, so beautiful in the finished piece.

Ciao Nathan , i difetti del legno sono dei veri e propri pregi, gli alberi da frutto spesso ci regalano delle delusioni tipo l'ulivo. Credo che avresti potuto rinforzare quelle crepe con della super colla e segatura raffinata, ma e' bello comunque bravo, un italiano

@notwhereyouthink 4 года назад

Beautiful piece. Could you let us know what you used on finishing eg: oils, etc?

@alanmackay2033 7 лет назад

Turned out bonny Nathan,the cracks work well with the piece

@NathanCummingWoodturning 7 лет назад

Alan Mackay thanks Alan. Seeing it now I regret filling the cracks on the neck but I think they needed it to maintain structural integrity. The wall thickness got quite thin while working to achieve the shape I wanted. Glad I didn't fill the others, they are a nice feature.

@williampletts4739 4 года назад

Don't get hung up on defects or you'll just make shavings.

@kobiekaasjager4822 5 лет назад

Nathan what an awesome and stunning vase I love every crack was and knot I it

@NathanCummingWoodturning 5 лет назад

thank you, its one of my favourite turns

@PBUCKY1969 3 года назад

Lovely piece mate, cracks and knots are all beautiful features of the wood!

@clappercj1 5 лет назад

Nice job! What did you use for a finish?

@NathanCummingWoodturning 5 лет назад

Thank you, I believe I used a shellac based friction polish on this one.

@gregjones3453 4 года назад

Nice project, I personally like the holes and cracks in the projects! Greg

Its a lovely vase and the grain is beautiful thanks

@NathanCummingWoodturning 7 лет назад

icespeckledhens thank you

@Boultonful 5 лет назад

you made a good job of filling the voids in top part, why did you not fill the cracks in the rest, it would have looked much better than those dreadful splits, just my opinion.

@NathanCummingWoodturning 5 лет назад

I would have preferred not to fill the cracks at the top, it was only for stability as it was a vase and the neck was thin to get the form I wanted. I much prefer leaving natural defects where possible to maintain the character of the wood.

@scottpetrie8707 5 лет назад

Buddy I dig it! I would have thrown some Blue epoxy in the cracks/voids haha

@leksey7870 7 лет назад

Beautiful!

@NathanCummingWoodturning 7 лет назад

Аleksey Bek thank you very much.

@lenmullin3216 7 лет назад

It's a lovely Vase Nathan, but I would have preferred that you had filled the the other cracks and holes with resin also. It looks good as is, but I would like to see it with the holes and cracks filled.

@NathanCummingWoodturning 7 лет назад

Len mullin Due to the size of the cracks I felt having such obvious scars would ultimately detract from the overall appearance, I prefer not to fill natural cracks unless to provide structural integrity. Thanks for watching.
