This project is to celebrate my 1000 subscriber milestone and 1 year anniversary of the channel. I lucked out in finding this huge log of Gaboon Ebony at my local woodworking store. The price was too good to ignore for this one of a kind opportunity. When I decided to do a giveaway, I knew that the ebony would be a great inclusion to this special project. It took quite a few days to do this project so I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching!

I am a relatively new wood turner, so I'm still working on my technique and make plenty of mistakes! All woodworking can be potentially dangerous, so you should not try anything you see me do without instruction. My videos are for entertainment purposes only. I do wear gloves when turning as I have very painful arthritis in my hands and the gloves support my joints. In general, it is not recommended to wear gloves around power tools like this, but this is how I do it.
I rarely pay for wood for turning projects since there is plenty of local wood that I can use that would otherwise end up in the landfill. I enjoy making art from what would otherwise be trash.
My lathe: Nova 3000 (it's old, I'm hoping to upgrade someday)
