Woodturning - Gnarly Old Firewood - What Lurks Beneath?

I am still learning woodturning and today I took a bit of gnarly old fire wood out the fire basket and was pleasantly surprised with what was beneath.

I still need to work on my technique as I turn wood but there is definitely improvement since my first wood bowl. The wood lathe is fast becoming my friend!

As always, I am happy to take feedback. And if you know what wood it is, please let me know 😊

Also, today I chopped and processed some yew tree blanks so I will have something a bit nicer to work with than firewood - although to be fair if the result is like this I'll be happy.

Ben's Got Wood
A bit about me - my name is Ben and this channel is documenting my very first attempts at woodturning. As a beginner, I'm eager to explore the art of shaping wood into beautiful, functional pieces through the mesmerising process of woodturning.

Through trial and error, I'm learning valuable lessons and gaining insights that will shape my skills. If you are a seasoned woodturner, I'd appreciate any help and guidance along the way - I know I have a lot to learn!

Thank you for being a part of this incredible experience!

Please note my videos are for entertainment purposes only and are not meant as instructional videos. I am not a professional woodturner and some of the techniques I use are trial and error and probably not correct - in fact I'm surprised I still have all my fingers! I hope you enjoy the videos!
