Watch me turn a piece of firewood into a festive-inspired nutcracker!
The piece of Ash that I used had such amazing grain and I wanted to retain as much of it as possible so I was careful where I dropped the wax. It was a lot more difficult than it seems to get this process right however I am happy with the outcome. Saying that unfortunately one of the handles must had higher moisture content as it started to push the black spray and finish off of the wood.... which was a nightmare.
I hope you enjoyed! Let me know down below if you'd like to see more experiments like this in the future!

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.
