  • Tim goes nuts...well even more nuts as he introduces you to Tagua nuts. Seeds from the Ivory Palm these nuts look like ivory when turned and over time they darken to an antique ivory color. Challenging but fun these nuts can be turned into many interesting shapes. The nuts Tim used were found on Ebay but you can find them at other woodturning suppliers.
    You can find instructional DVDs, Tim’s Tools and the Elbo Hollowing Tool on the Woodturning with Tim website: www.woodturningwithtim.com

    "Kintsugi (金継ぎ, "golden joinery"), also known as kinsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise." -Wikipedia.
    Looks great!

    Just bought a bunch of these from my local timber store they only charge £5.00 ($3.75) for 10 for medium average size ones and they are really interesting to turn. This video just gave me some great ideas so thank you!
    I have to agree, DON"T try gluing them to a waste block or a jam chuck as these things are solid and really hard as well as being really unbalanced so they do have a tendency to come away. Follow the advice at the start of the video and start between two centres and create a small tenon to mount into a proper chuck to avoid them bouncing around your workshop or off your head!

    On the part at end if they are thin enough, you can light them up from the inside … so if you're really lucky you can turn one into a mini-lampshade as well as vase or bowl?

    near the end when you were worried about voids, is the sanding relatively safe from the "explosion" problem?

    The meat of the Tagua nut reminds me of Brazil nuts. Is it that soft as well? It feels like it's a little harder.

      The tagua nut is harder than a woodpeckers lips. Its hard to carve with a knife , almost like ivory

Not sure if its good for this kind of carving. But its nice see if it’s possible so i can ask for a few cups? Eheheh!

      @jasminepetal3972 2 роки тому

      Why do that ?? Theyre soft right when they fall from the tree and harden over time while being on the forest floor so maybe just find ones that have recently fallen if u live in an area where trees w tagua nuts are
