Woodturning - Ebony and Cherry Square Oriental Box
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 бер 2022
- The first true woodturning demonstration that I ever watched on UA-cam was Jimmy Clewes' turning a square oriental box. At the time, I tried my hand at turning it and it was mildly successful. I ran across one of Jimmy's demos just the other day so, I thought it would be fun to try this project again after gaining 2 years of experience, and also add my own little flair to the design.
Let me know what you think of my attempt in the comments!

The wood is kiln dried cherry with an ebonizing solution applied to the bottom. This solution reacts with the tannins in the cherry and causes it to oxidize and turn a dark brown, almost black. The finial is made from East Indian ebony.
Then the entire thing was finished with Hampshire Sheen Danish Oil.
I had a sticker swap to catch up on as well. David Icenhower from Webfoot Resin & Wood Creations - / @webfootresinandwoodcr...

Beautiful piece, Seth! Well done!
Hey David! Thanks man, I really appreciate it!
I saw the same video over and over. Plan on taking a class with Jimmy one day. I can’t believe how dark you were able to get the cherry. Outstanding
Hi Mark! Thank you watching! I would love to take a class with Jimmy as well, he was a big inspiration for me when I first started turning.
I’m really glad you like this one, I hope I did Jimmys original design justice! Haha!
That is a STUNNING piece, brother!!!! Very well done (as always)!!!!
Thanks so much man! You’re too kind! Appreciate all of your support!
Your Oriental Box is awesomeness in a true art form! Simply beautiful.
Hi Dennis! You’re too kind! Thanks so much!
Nicely done! Jimmy is a great inspiration to any woodturner. Took a hands on class with him several years ago and enjoyed it immensely!
Hi Robert. I’m quite jealous, I’m sure that was an awesome class! 😁
You’re so right, Jimmy is a great inspiration. He certainly had a big impact on me when I was first starting out!
i took his class at his home in las vegas as well- learned more in three days than you could learn in a year on your own-
That’s so cool, Mike! I’d love to do that sometime.

Sprezzatura- Italian word meaning “to make something difficult appear simple”
Hi Drew. Thank you for sharing this, and I love that description! I will definitely remember this one!
Niiiiiiiice!
Haha! Thanks Gav! Glad you like it buddy!
Wow Seth, that's awesome. You had me at "square" to be honest, but great job! i may draw some inspiration from this. 😉
Give it a go, Tim! I’d love to see some more square pieces from you!
Also, check out the demos from Jimmy Clewes that I linked in the description. That’s where I drew my inspiration for this piece. They are super informative!
Nice
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
I really appreciate it!
Would it be possible to see a picture of your dust collector arm/stand set up? The little bit shown on this (outstanding!) video seems like what I have been looking for. Many thanks in advance. Ivan Michigan USA
Hi Ivan! Thank you for your kind words!
The setup I’m using is the one from Woodturners Wonders. I have the full track system, but you can buy just the dust collector arm by itself, without the rest of the attachments.
I’d be happy to send you some pictures. Hit me up on my email. BrickhouseCraftWorks@gmail.com
Amazing work. Thanks for sharing! Likеd and subscribеd 👍😊
Thanks so much! Thanks for watching and for the sub, L.A.!
Nice work, really like the shape of the bottom piece and the finial is a work of art. What is that "Ebonizing Fluid" that you used on the bottom? BTW you have a new subscriber.
Thanks so much, I’m so glad you liked it!
The ebonizing solution is called iron acetate. It’s simply steel wool that is dissolved in white vinegar. It reacts with the tannins in the wood and makes it turn dark like that.
Thanks for the sub!!
Same to you.
Totally awesome work seth 👏 I wouldn't sell this one, although it belongs in a gallery 😀
You’re too kind Rob! I’m glad you think so! Thank you so much for watching, my friend!
Great looking piece! Inspired by Jimmy Clewes? How do you like the HS sanding sealer? Can't believe you don't have a vacuum chuck yet! 😂
Haha! Yessir, it was inspired by Jimmy!
The sanding sealer worked great, and I liked it much better than my homemade thinned down shellac.
I know, I know….vacuum chuck is on the list! Lol
What I think! For starters Jimmy Clewes is someone great to get inspiration from. What I think about this piece, it is OUTSTANDING. Two beautiful pieces of wood, beautiful lines, beautiful coloring and beautiful finish. 👍👍 What I think about your production is not so positive. The speed up video makes the process seem so frantic. 😟😟I don't need to see every cut you make. It would be more pleasing to watch if you just show the most important cuts at real speed. The sanding and finish was better. And you kept the finish labels on screen long enough for these old eyes to read them. 🙂Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe. 🙂🙂
Hi Glen, thank you so much for your kind words! I really do appreciate your criticism, both the good and the bad.
It’s not always easy to keep the videos short enough that folks don’t lose interest without speeding them up but, I will definitely keep your comments in mind for my next video.
Thanks so much!
@@BrickhouseCraftWorks I get the same response from others. "Have to keep the video short". I don't advocate making the video longer. Devote the same amount of time to the parts you speed up. You show the same amount of time but in real time. So instead of showing 50 cuts so fast you show 5 cuts but in real time. You just pick the parts that are most interesting and or important. OK so now I am off the soap box.
Haha! Well, soapbox or not, I appreciate your comments, and I welcome the critique.
I’ll try to keep them in mind and implement where I can.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Dennis, thanks so much for watching and commenting! I’m glad you like it!

Hello! Thanks for watching!
This is an amazing piece, Seth, well done
After seeing such a perfect work of yours, I would like to sponsor you a set of carbide wood turning tools, no grinding carbon tungsten steel bits, if you need I am willing to sponsor you a set for free, because you are an excellent craftsman, too like the work
Hello Qi Lai! Thank you very much for your kind words, and your very generous offer. Unfortunately, I’m going to pass. Thank you for your consideration, and for taking the time to watch!
@@BrickhouseCraftWorks Okay, thank you for your reply, I am a turning tool maker and an avid wood turning enthusiast, the tool you are using now has problem points you can also provide to me that I can use to improve my turning tools, I have another dream to let all the enthusiasts like us use better tools, I will always support you, thank you for bringing us such a good work.
what kind of chuck are you using there?
Hi Mike!
That is the Easy Wood Tool chuck. I’ve gotta say, I love it!
How about a note on the lathe brand and tool brands, etc.
Hi Jeffrey, thanks for watching and commenting!
My lathe is a Laguna 1836, and my tools are Thompson, and my bowl gouges have a 40/40 grind.
If you have any other questions let me know and I’ll be happy to answer them! 😁
What is the wood ebonizing solution you use??
Hello! Thanks for watching.
It’s an iron acetate solution. It’s made by dissolving #0000 steel wool in white vinegar. Wash the steel wool in water and Dawn to remove the oil film that’s present in new steel wool. After it’s dried place the steel wool in a glass jar and cover with white vinegar. The best vinegar is that designed for cleaning rather than cooking but, any vinegar will do. Leave it until all the steel wool dissolves. Make sure you either poke holes in a lid, or cover with plastic so that gasses can escape and it doesn’t explode. After a few days, when all the steel wool is dissolved, you can strain out the excess bits, rust, and funkiness from the liquid then apply to the wood.
Now, this only works for woods that have a high tannin content. This video was cherry which worked better than I expected, but not nearly as well as something like oak. You can increase the tannin content of any wood though by applying a black tea solution to the wood and allow it to dry, then apply the ebonizing solution.
Hope this helps!!
Love this! What are you using to hold your dust collection hood? Like and sub for you today
Thank you so much Gord! It is very much appreciated!
Great job 👍. Love it. Would like to swop decals / stickers with you. Tried to send email but couldn't find your address. Subscribed
Hi Robert, thanks for watching and for the Sub!
I’d be happy to swap stickers with you!
My email is BrickhouseCraftWorks@gmail.com
but, I just saw your message through Etsy. I’ll send you my address and get some stickers out to you this week.
Thanks!
I have the same bandsaw and the same lathe. How come the crap I produce doesn’t look as good as yours??
Haha!! Trust me, I feel the same way about my stuff too! We will always be our own toughest critic!
On top of that, this particular piece isn’t even my own design, so I can’t even take credit for it. It’s a slightly embellished version of Jimmy Clewes’ square oriental box.
The only advice I can give you is to look for inspiration everywhere, including to other turners. Lastly, focus on your honing your finishing regimen. Sanding and finishing should take as long or longer than it took to turn the piece.
Thanks for watching!
