Woodturning - Curly Beech Platter (hidden bark inclusion)

welcome to this weeks woodturning video. Woodturning - Curly Beech Platter (hidden bark inclusion) In this woodworking video I use a woodturning lathe to turn a piece of air dried curly beech into a shallow bowl/platter when woodturning a piece like this I like to take away layers until I see what shape the wood wants to be and which part of the wood is going to have the best effect, this is what i find so enjoyable about woodturning. This piece of beech had a huge bark inclusion running right through the centre, normally i would leave this untouched but this one made the piece structurally weak, my solution in this case was to fill the void with CA glue and sawdust. had i have had epoxy resin to hand this would have been a good opportunity to add some colour. as it turned out i like the subtle impact of the sawdust filler If you find these videos entertaining I’d appreciate you hitting the like button and if you'd like to see more from me you can simply click the subscribe button to receive notifications when I upload new videos.
