Woodturning - The Log That Bleeds Red!

I'm Back! After a bit of time away from posting new original videos on the main channel I'm back and planning on uploading at a more regular pace.

In this video I take a large piece of Box Elder and turn it into a signature vase. I am really pleased with how this one turned out even though I would have liked to have seen some of that pinky/red wood in the final design, its a shame it seemingly stayed close to the pith. I do have a crotch piece from the same tree that was given to me by my arborist mate Connor so looking forward to turning that soon and seeing the grain! Stay tuned!

This vase was sanded to 3000 grit and finished with three coats of Danish oil and a coat of wood wax.
Let me know what you think!

Disclaimer:
My videos are for entertainment purposes only. 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.
