Bud Vase Weed Pot - Beginners Woodturning Project

This week, I get back to the lathe and turn a wooden bud vase, or weed pot as they are sometimes known. I use a piece of Yew and turn it with a roughing gouge, spindle gouge and diamond tipped parting tool, finishing off with Hampshire Sheen products.

The project in this video is a demonstration of a woodturning project suitable for beginners and is not intended to replace a physical lesson from an experienced woodturner. At all times, you are responsible for your own safety, that of your workshop and other people in it. Ensure you wear suitable personal safety equipment at all times. This is my way of turning this project - Other turners may turn it differently and you may find your own way of reaching the same result. By copying these techniques, you do so at your own risk.
