Woodworking - Small projects part 2

Woodworking - Small projects part 2: Another video of small projects I'm working on in between chainsaw carving. They are mostly made out of scrap wood, and leftover pieces of special wood types such as Morus and Taxus.

In this video: A solid Mullberry (Morus) ball, a Golden Chain (Laburnum) candel holder, a Juniper (Juniperus) wall clock, a Taxus walking stick, two wood grain demo's, a collection of branch growths and two plant vases.


These objects where made in Hortus Haren, Netherlands.

That ball made from Mulberry looks very much like our American Osage Orange wood. Osage Orange is a member of the Mulberry family so maybe that explains that. Nice work.

@localcrew Thanks for the reply and information, and yes it looks like it. Not as hard though, I heard Osage Orange is an extremely tough wood to work with! I wish it grew back here, but the climate is to cold.

Very cool videos and projects. How do you decide what finish to put on which project? Do you do anything to make sure there are no insects in the wood?

@gslope1 Thank you for the sub & comment. I try and predict what 'abuse' the item will go trough. For 'look only' items 2 coats of oil, or wax, for heavy use items a bit of oil mixed with polyurethane, or straight poly. For objects in between like bowls I generally use oil varnish mixes like Danish oil, and sometimes a thin layer of poly on top. I'm also experimenting with laquer. It hard, but I need to tone down the 'plastic look'.

i think the plant vase in a tree trunk is very ironic... its like have a house made of human body parts.
