Nice job, Eric! But dang...boiling shine juice...you must have cast iron fingers! LOL

Yep Thanks! It gets really hot and at times I will get blisters from the heat if I burnish too much!

[@randyjones2101]

I've been a woodworker for over 50 years and do not know of monkeypod wood. dose it have another name, if so what is it. Beautiful wood grain and a great plate. Wonderful demonstration. Thanks

[@ErikAnderson1]

Look up Monkeypod and you will see it is from Hawaii and other island chains. Many platters and snack dishes are made from is especially back in the 50's and 60's. Go to google or your web browser and search monkeypod. Thanks

[@MANJITSINGH-ko2oi]

Hi Erikthat was a nice wood.

[@ErikAnderson1]

I think so too!

[@sammeandro3996]

Beautiful workmanship! Q. How durable is the shine juice for daily use as a platter? Would more coats be advised for more protection? Thanks very much. Stay safe and take care.

[@ErikAnderson1]

Thank you Sam. Yes and yes! I like to coat in walnut oil every once in a while

[@eddiestipe2009]

Ok Erik, what type of wood is Monkeypod? Where does it come from? Plated look very nice. A job well done. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Take care and be safe.

[@ErikAnderson1]

Thanks Eddie it is a tree from Hawaii look up monkeypod on google and you will see it! This is spalted as well

[@jimg2247]

Eric, great work!! When you sadly the shine juice is almost boiling, are you heating it before applying, or is it getting hot from friction? Thank you for sharing, really nice piece as always! Keep me coming, please. Stay safe!

[@ErikAnderson1]

Thank you I do not pre heat just friction!

[@jimg2247]

Makes sense, just wondered if preheating would make any difference. Always looking for new tips.
Thanks for the response👍

[@shawncharton9416]

Lookin good, Barry White of turning!

[@ErikAnderson1]

Thank you so much Shawn!

[@bucktownwoodworks7737]

Nice! But I’m wondering how everybody finds all the free wood!?! That Monkeypod couldn’t have been cheap! Lol. I need better friends...

[@ErikAnderson1]

Alot of people know me and what I do and I am constantly having people let me know about wood plus I work in an industry with a tremendous ammount of waste. On the last job I was on I could have taken so much sugar pine and sheet goods but I had no room! Door and window shops are a good place to check! Local Slab cutters and tree workers. In my neighborhood there is a tree arbor company with a yard full of free firewood and lots of it is turnable!

[@eddiestipe2009]

I would like to pm you. How do I find your email? Do you have a web site?
