I've got a number of small branches from
one I don't know how it got that small
but it's pretty small it's about 3 and
1/2 in Long 4 in in diameter I'm going
to get this chucked up on the lathe and
see if we can make something out of it
maybe a delight holder or maybe just a
small little vessel what I've done is I
put a hole in here that my drive Center
and I'm going to turn it between centers
and get a Tenon on this end and we'll
get it flipped around so let me get that
all mounted up and we'll start turning
on this little teeny piece of black wmet
I'm going to start with the spindle
roughing gouge about 1,000 RPM
I'm going to switch to a 5/8 B gouge now
mark for a Tenon then I know how much I
off I'll use the banan to cut that on
switch to a half inch bull gouge now
W that's uh really a pretty piece of
Walnut I'm going turn it around now and
see if I might want to take a little bit
let see if I can get this bark cleaned
up with the negative brake scraper and
and that's all I'll do on the underside
work so I have a reason I'm drilling
this even though it does make it easier
but you'll see that pretty soon
grab this hollower that is ingrain
and when cutting ingrain if you go down
to the bottom and come up bringing the
tool out this way it's much easier to
I want to see how we're doing I got
go and I'm going to get pretty thin
right there on the outside but it should
all right I think I got it fitting just
right it's uh got clearance so nothing
it and it reaches the bottom so I'm
going to go ahead and use the scraper
clean this edge up and we'll do the
other side and then we'll get it sanded
and use a very simple little finish on
nice I mostly want to try to get this
bark smooth out and then knock that
right I think uh it's ready to do do
sanding but it's getting pretty late
got this really thin right here almost
scary thin okay it is time to sand and
long going to start with 120 grit with
the lathe running forward at about 450
RPM and that's going to be on the inside
I'll turn the lathe in Reverse at the
same RPM and we'll get it all sanded up
to 400 I'll come back and we'll put a
outside okay I'll see you shortly we'll
get a finish on it I've decided to use
ax abrasive paste and the Polish for my
finish just getting that paste on there
oh that makes that black walnut look
nice okay I'll get that finished out
polish it I'll be back and we have to
tenant just turned a little Jam Chuck
the whole this while I cut that ton off
and then it should support it while I
end yeah that's on there pretty good
all right I think I can just sand the
rest of this off and uh I'll come back
and show you it all set up
well here it is I think it is a
beautiful piece of black m it's got lots
it really looks good here it's so small
you it's about 4 in in diameter
here it stands about 3 and8 in tall it's
2 in in diameter there and about 2 and 1
here so this is very small and was very
quick I looked at how much time I had
before I came out here to do this and I
seconds everything I turned with the
gouge here was done at normal speed I
didn't speed anything up except when I
drill the hole and we all know that's
boring I finished it with ax of Bracy
paste and polish that also makes it nice
and quick so if you take out the time
that I stopped here and there to talk
about what I was doing you could do this
in 10 minutes pretty easily and I think
this could be a real money maker if you
were into selling but if you wanted to
make a real quick gift you could also do
that which is what I did with it so I
borrowed this from My Wife and when I
put it in there it becomes hers this and
this will be hers so I drill that hole
out or should I say I boarded it out out
rounded it up a little bit that fits in
perfect got this little candle it fits
in there if I can get the right lighting
I'll get this on the turntable and light
that up otherwise I'll have it on the
turntable anyways and maybe you can see
it better without my hands in the way I
know I sure had a lot of fun making this
