Artisan Turning

Artisan Turning I turn pieces of wood other woodturners wouldn't touch. I have just started the highly dangerous art of Lichtenberg wood burning.

I only source wood for my bowls from windfall, diseased trees or from trees that have been cut down for safety reasons.

Cheeky ash mushroom.

My first attempt at editing two videos into one.

It was supposed to be one video.

The keen eyed will spot that I've used a worm screw that I haven't used in yonks (it's a way of attaching the piece to the chuck {the big silver thing at the top of the picture} ).

You may also notice that that I get a catch (it's when the gouge digs into the piece) and the mushroom jumps off the tail support (the silver thing at the bottom of picture).
I'm able to reattach it to the worm screw and finish the piece.

Finished in Microcrystalline wax.

There is something special about yew. The colours the grain the way it changes as the cuts get deeper.
I filmed this one from the first rough shape right through to the final smooth finish so you can watch the whole journey unfold.

From a simple block of wood to a bowl with real character.
I hope you enjoy watching it come to life.

From rough blocks to smooth curves from hidden grain to a finished piece that feels alive in your hands.
This is the part that makes it all worth it. The moment the wood shows you what it wanted to be all along.

The end game.
This is how it ends. and if you would love to buy one of my wooden treasures head to www.artisanturning.co.uk

Long yew trial post.

I want to show you every bowl I turn or burn if you're interested in such things.

I'm trying to get the timing right. Interesting, not too long yet show the process fully.

There is something magical about the beginning.
Just a few rough pieces of wood on the bench. Nothing shaped nothing polished nothing revealed yet.
But this is where the spark happens. This is where the ideas start to whisper.

Every bowl every mushroom every little treasure begins right here in the raw and the simple.

This is how it starts.

Today I am working on a chopping board that has been Lichtenberg burnt and I am filling the lightning pattern with a bright orange resin. The colour moves slowly through the channels and settles into every branch of the burn. It is one of those calm workshop moments where you can just watch the resin flow and see the board come back to life. A simple process but a very satisfying one to share.
