Woodturning Oak with a Surprising Inlay
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- This Red Oak bowl was turned from free wood recovered from a dead standing tree, cut down for safety reasons.
The inlay is glass seed beads, approximately 19 inches long.
“Many of the woods I use are from trees that are cut down for construction.
To me, it is exciting to find the hidden beauty in a chunk of wood. Even a very plain piece of wood offers design opportunities. When working with plain wood, I often enhance the wood by carving or burning. My carved and burned designs mimic textures and patterns found in nature.

I like the use of actual beads in the feature band.
Thank you so much ❤️
Great job Heather looks beautiful. Love the grain in the wood❤
Thanks Bonnie! Oak is definitely a beautiful wood💜
The beads really set off the wood, lovely piece. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks Jim 😊
Nice piece again Heather
Beautiful bowl. The medullary rays really give it some extra visual interest.
Is that what they're called?!
Yes they do! Thank you so much ❤️
A beaded accent ring is a great idea. Well done! Thanks.
Thank you 😊
Stunning Heather, thanks for sharing
You're welcome 😊
Lovely piece, Heather! The beaded band is a great feature.

Thanks Colin! It's my favorite so far!
That's really cool, Heather!
Thanks Billy! This idea popped into my head when you did your material inlay demo!
This Bowl is stunning beautiful. The Inlay gives it a Native Touch. I like it a lot . Very well done Heather , greetings from Bavaria :)
Thank you so much ❤️
I was hoping for the native touch! I guess I succeeded 🙂
What a great idea. That is very very cool!
Thanks 😊

❤❤❤❤ maravilha 😻 parabéns 😍
Thank you 😊
i lovevthe beads idea, very appropriate culturally herebin NewvZealand, I'll be trying it, thank you. great result overall. Tena koe
Kia ora John! I've found that this type of beadwork is pretty universal for indigenous cultures around the world. I am Metis, which is a mixture of Native American, (Algonquin Indian), and European.
I love bringing a bit of my heritage into my work.
Id love to see what you do with your piece when you finish!
Haere ra -Heather 🇨🇦
@@spiritwynd my Maori people use glass bead design in belts and neck pieces of korowai, I want to apply it like you did under the rim of a bowl or on a platter. did you glue it into place?
It's just sewn back into itself, which hides the starting and end point. I Don't use glue, just a bit of recess holds the beaded ribbon in place. It's free moving and could even be removed if necessary. The fishing line that I use has a bit of stretch but is very strong
love that beadwork. Fantastic bowl. Sent you a related link in Facebook.
Thanks Mike! Got it!
Lovely bowl . Have you sanded the top of your friction drive block ? Have you ever tried mounting using outdoor carpet tape ? How did you secure your beaded band , just stitch the ends ,or did you use some CA gell under it ? Do you have Cole jaws ? I love the southwest color scheme and will have to give it a try
I didn't sand the friction drive block, have used double sided tape before, but not for this, I stitched the ends together, (no glue), I do have cole jaws, ( didn't think of using them).
Thanks for watching ❤️
Really like this one!!
How is it attached?
Thanks! I just sewed the beaded ends together where they matched up. Now even I have to look really close to see where the connection is!
The beaded band spins freely from the bowl.
Looks great! BTW, I’ve made a couple of the “off-center” trees but the top bit causes me trouble, I.e., not able to get the elongated swoop like yours. Any tips to preserve the top of the tree? I have made a Maple, Cherry and Walnut tree.
I only turn a bit of the top of the tree, then I hand carve the point, giving it an elongated swoop.
Hope this helps.
Heather
@@spiritwynd Huge help Heather. I’ll do that on my next one.
Ooh, I like that ... verrrry nice ... the oak is beautiful on it's own, but the beads just add a wow factor ... gorgeous 👍
For the clicking, very hard to tell, but I'll give it a go ...
1) Start without the chuck, if clicking then then possibly the spindle bearings starting to go or even a slight frayed belt.
2) Add a faceplate or something else with some weight to it (about the same weight as the chuck if possible), but no moving parts (like the chuck), if clicking then see 1)
3) Do you still have your old machine and can you run your chuck on that, if no clicking then see 1)
4) Looks like something to do with the chuck ... you'd need to dismantle and investigate!!
Easiest way to sort the clicking is buy a new machine and chuck ... problem solved 🤣
Lol I like the new lathe and chuck idea! I'll run that by my husband!🤣🤣
It was the chuck. Where the chuck key goes into the chuck to tighten the jaws, the "thing" is loose.
Sounds like a worn jaw that's loose or loose worn screw
The chuck is brand new, shouldn't be worn, I'll check again for loose screws
I hate to be semi-negative but I am wondering why you spent 3/4th of the video showing you and finishing a very ordinary bowl (of which there are hundreds videos) rather than spend more time on the inlay which was very clever but you neglected to show how you wove string the beads and how you attached to the bowl.
Great question! And no offense taken.
I have been thinking the same thing. I will be making another video showing more of the decorative process for this bowl.
