Woodturning a Live Edge Branch Piece
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- In this video I create a branch piece by turning it on the lathe. The wood is apple and part of it is a crotch piece, but there is another branch coming into the area. I cut the piece in half, turning a very similar shape for both halves to show the live edge and highlight the figure in the wood . For one of the halves, I have applied dye to give it a more interesting look.

This video is for entertainment purposes, woodturning can be dangerous, follow all safety precautions when using your tools and equipment and get proper instruction/training.
Love the natural one the most Mother Nature did a incredible job. Great Demo
Thanks, yes, I really like both and still have not decided which I like better. I know for sure if I put these into a gallery or display them at an art show, the colored one will sell first. My colored pieces outsell the natural ones at least 5 to 1.
Great work as always Frank. Made it back as the lunchtime video of the day.
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice thoughtful planning process. I too was dubious about the burning of the edge - but it is delightful. Great job.
thanks
At first, Frank, I thought the dyed finish was so ugly but the end result shots changed my mind. I'm still partial to the natural wood colour but both are very well done.
Thanks, yes, I know what you mean. I thought I really made a mistake because this wood was a bit darker than I like to add colour too, but as you say, in the end it does not really look to bad.
Great work frank! I really enjoy your videos keep them coming. We have a very similar style but we do differ in some ways. I find inspiration in your design style and it helps to add more variety in my work.
Thanks, glad to hear that you like the videos and they give you ideas to vary your woodturning projects.
Lovely wood. You did it justice!
Thanks
Wow two beautiful pieces for sure
Thanks
Great job as always I like that your a lot like me not affraid to try new colors and designs
Thanks, yes, there are some that cringe when I say I am going to add color to a piece.
I think the natural finish bowl looks better than the stained.
Perhaps a much lighter stain would have looked better.
when you moved the piece and changed the size of the tenon, I agree it was the best thing to do. Did you move both live and dead centre positions and was it a move of about 1 cm.
Thanks for sharing
Do you possibly have one of the multi tools ? They work great to remove final nub on tenon
Thanks for the comment. No, I don't have one of those multi tools, but yes, great idea. That would work really well to remove the small remaining part of the tenon.
