- Amazing plum wood. Wait til you see the color. This is another of my woodturning ideas on a wood lathe. this is a good project for beginner wood turning.
Do it yourself projects are the best way to learn. I am turning a log to goblet from plum wood on a wood lathe.
I left the log with bark at the bottom for a natural look. the goblet was sanded to 400 grit. I used shellac on the bark and friction polish on the rest. I am happy with how it came out. love the color on this wood.
I hope you enjoy/enjoyed these new woodturning videos.

Beautiful Wood !
Thank you J.T.!

After watching a few of your videos I have now started to use the wing in my turnings.
I started using the wing because I'm left handed. It made it easier to do a lot the turning. Now it's become a habit for me.
I hope it works well for you.
Thanks for watching Bob!

Nice goblet I use Acks abrasive paste and Restoring Polish after I spray a couple of coats of lacquer this gives me a deep shine 😀
Thanks Tim!
Ya, I here a lot of turners really like it.
I appreciate you watching!
Great work!
Thank you Clyde!

...well, that is just plum gorgeous!...👍
Sea saw...😆
Do I shoot shavings into a can???...naw...I aim for my chest, arms and hands...so far, I'm pretty good at hittin' 'em...
Matt
Ya, it's just plum crazy how gorgeous it is. Sometimes I shoot em over my head. But it sucks when I miss.😁
Thanks for watching Matt!

That came out great. I don't think I have ever seen anyone use Plum Wood before. It has great colors and grains. Reminds me of how Yew Wood looks.
Thank you John! A friend of mine cut the tree down and gave me a bunch of it. I had no idea it looked like that either. It's beautiful. I'm looking forward to turning more of it. One thing I've noticed is it's prone to cracking.
I appreciate you watching!
Based my personal experience with Plum, it will start to crack in no time.
Other than that it is a nice piece. 😎
So far I've been having good luck. The secret is keeping the thickness even.
Thanks for watching!
I appreciate it!
Nice that you added a narrative along with the video. Much better than just a video!
Thanks Tim. I think I'm gonna do that more. You might even hear me talking in some. Possibly with how to videos.
Thanks for watching!
@@RcWoodturning I agree, some audio and more real time action without excessive video length would be great
@@timclosson7166 I agree. What I'm thinking is doing shorter videos focusing on a couple things in each video. I'll probably have it set up as a series. Thanks for the input. I want to do it the way you guys want it.
Well done. I really like this goblet, at least until I get down to the base. Just my opinion, it is too bulky for my taste. Make the live edge about 1/4-3/16”, keep the detail right down on the base, slim the stem a bit, and I think you have a fabulous piece. Then again, the first potential customer that sees it may pay tip dollar for it. Everyone has different thoughts and opinions. You did a great job with it. Thanks for sharing it.
Ya I agree with you. My plan was to make it taller but I had to cut off a couple inches because of a crack.
Thanks for watching Doug.
WOW Rus, that is gorgeous.
Take care mate.
Cheers, Huw
PS Really missing the intro music.
Thank you Huw!
The videos seem to do better without the intro. I'm still on the fence about it. Thanks for watching!
I appreciate it!
How is working with plumwood ..I actually never heard of it before this video
It's pretty much like other hardwood. It's really easy to get a smooth surface. It cuts really nice with sharp tools. There's nothing like having those long strings of shavings come off the tool...gives me goose bumps.😁
Thanks for watching Derrick!
I appreciate it!
I liked this a lot, but how do you avoid cracks???
Thank you Lori!
It's best if you can seal the ends of the wood and let it dry. If you turn green wood you want to try and keep the thickness of the walls as even as possible. Also you can put it in a paper bag packed with shavings to slow down the drying process.
I hope that helps.
Thanks for watching!
I appreciate it!
Very nice work again. Does your friction polish shine last ?
Thank you Robert!
I changed the mix on it to 2 parts shellac to 1 part oil and alcohol. The shine last much longer.
Appreciate you watching!
the Facebook link doesn't work. Nice goblet
Ok thanks. Appreciate you watching!
Pardon my inexperience but is that a tennis ball?
Yes, I use it to help stabilize the piece while I'm turning.
@@RcWoodturning Well played sir.
Is it common around u ..
It's mostly grown in people's yards around here. I wouldn't say common. I'm not sure where plums are grown for production.
