That's what it comes down to really, the harder woods dull your tools quicker so you're forever back and to to the bench grinder. It's a lot of light cuts too, can't hoof out big chunks like you can with birch for example. The tools will get HOT too 😂 Well worth the effort. I still do use carbide for certain things but the vast majority of the time it's a 3/8ths bowl gouge. No right or wrong, whatever works 😁

Cheers Steve!

Thanks bud!

Thank you so much!

Thanks Todd, glad you like it! 😁

Thank you so much! I burnt the lines with a thin off-cut of wood. Normally i'll use an ice cream stick but I didn't have any to hand that day. That's actually a great reason to put ice cream on my shopping list! Wire is perfect for external detail.

Thank you so much, glad you like it 😁

Thank you so much!! This was a bit of a custom, I had my logo cut into aluminium using a CNC then shaped the 'spoon' afterwards. It's a lot less faff when marking just one or two at a time. What I will say is the aluminium is a little soft and heats up quickly, go with brass or stainless, my next will definitely be from one of those. Thanks for watching!!

Cheers Mike, it is quite a nice one to work with.

And thank you Colin! 👍

Thank you Billy!

Bon appetit 😁

Cheers brotato! When I was editing this I wanted a part to rotate a little more, so in my notes I wrote, get rotated.. instantly thought of you 😂😂

Thanks Dave! 😁

Thank you so much! 😁

Thanks!

Haha nubbin, absolutely one of the best words! Thanks Mark, you're far too kind! Enjoy your evening, time well spent I reckon! Take care.

Not with this one but I have had some crack in the past. Ash isn't half as bad as oak especially when turned green.

Thanks! 😁

Not just a waste of timber, a complete waste of time and effort too! What should I have turned instead, world peace?

There are two types of people in this world and @richardyoung7233 is definitely one of them.

Thank you so much!

Thanks Billy! Really enjoying adding colour at the moment.

Free the bollock 😂😂

Thanks Todd!!

Thank you Huw! Wasn't sure about the super dark purple at first but it's grown on me a lot. Cheers mate, take care!

Thanks Stuart, it's been on a shelf by my living room light switch for the last three and a bit years, looked at it a lot in that time too! Happy with the results but also glad I don't have to think about it anymore 😂

Thanks Luie, much appreciated!

Thanks for stopping by Doug, glad you like it!

Thanks Jojo, much appreciated my friend!

Many thanks Val! 😁

Cheers Larry! 😁

Thanks Mark! I do like hollowing out pieces of wood but it isn't much of a spectator sport, it's not that visually interesting in person as the vast majority is done by feel. Out of interest, if you could choose, what would be your colour preference? I'll be honest, I do like the look of raw wood but a little splash of colour is nice from time to time. Cheers mate, take care!

Thanks Dave! Really happy with how this turned out, not only that, I can rest easy now it's not constantly shouting at me to hollow 😂 Cheers mate!

Thanks for watching Colin! 👍

Many thanks Rachel, glad you like it! 😁

Thank you so much!

My pleasure! It's that first one that hurts the most, so unavoidable by just sharpening the gouge. We live and learn haha! Thanks for watching!

Thank you su much! I really like adding the designs but it almost doubles the entire making time, worth it though 😁 Thanks for watching!

Thanks Alun, glad you like it! 😁

Thanks for watching Jojo, glad you like it! 😁

Cheers mate, much appreciated!!
