This piece of wood is made from a piece of Turkey Oak found in the Shrubs at a grammar school near where I live. It must have been on the ground for years! I'm sure it's got a lot of stories.
I wanted to make sure I brought out the beauty in this piece, so I kept it as natural as possible to highlight the amazing grain. It was a bit punky in places, but I think that helps to highlight the darker parts of the wood.

My videos are for entertainment purposes only. Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first.
And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so.
