Amazing Crotch Feather in African Sumac Log Woodturning

In this video I turn a small natural edge bowl from a crotch of African Sumac. The cracks are not “defects”, but instead “features”. The customer that bought this bowl really enjoyed all its flaws, which is just what I was going for! I hope you find this as fun to watch as I found it fun to make! Thanks for watching! https://bit.ly/4vutwkn – 5/8" Bowl Gouge from FindBuy Tools If you would like to support my work, an easy way is to buy me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/jimclark Website: https://fiveringsbespokeproducts.com/ Etsy Shop: https://frbpwoodworking.etsy.com Instagram:   / frbp2023   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 am very committed to being environmentally responsible and 65% of my shops electricity comes from my home solar panel system. I also transport all the raw logs in my electric vehicle. 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.
