Woodturning - I never expected firewood to look and smell this good !!

I recently got a fairly large log to chop up for fire wood, the smell while chain sawing it was amazing so I thought I would turn a chunk and see what it was like. Apart from giving my workshop a nice smell the piece had lots more character than I expected.
I turned a thin walled bowl which I'm hoping will warp as it dries and coated it with Mineral Oil..
I've been told since that the wood is Scots Pine, I'm wishing that I hadn't chopped the rest up now !!

  • So soothing to watch the imbalanced block to be shaved off and balanced and rotate without wobbling.

  • From the size of these growth rings, this Scotch pine had a very generous and beneficial growing environment with large wood cells and wide growth rings, versus a hard life, mini-rings and a lot of pine tars and oils within the actual small wood cells and tight annular rings - making the latter a real stinker of a piney bowl smell (like Pine Sol !).

  • (Sorry for the long post, but this turned out to mean a lot more to me than you'd imagine!) You know, I don't mind so much when my back pain wakes me up at stupid o'clock and there's a new upload from you. Watching you honestly reduces the level of pain for the time of your video and a little bit longer. I reckon it's because I can physically relax, which makes the tightness in my back lessen a lot until I can finally move into a more comfortable position without yelling! My family is also grateful when you upload... As soon as I read your description, I was taken back to when my late dad would let me loose with his tools and offcuts when I was a youngster. He didn't turn wood, though I'm sure he'd have loved to have learned how, but if we needed anything like shelves, seats or even cupboards and anything else practical for the house, he'd get some ordinary pine (because it was the cheapest if he had to buy it. Sometimes he'd collect old pieces of furniture of all sorts of wood, though usually pine because that's what people had then, from skips, or about to be taken to the tip - with permission of course), and bring it home to turn it into whatever we required. As newlyweds, and flat broke, he turned a neighbour's battered, stained old pine kitchen table and turned it into one which looked brand new for us, giving it enough varnish that when the kids came along and would get it messy from painting, we could just wipe it off and there'd be no stain, but not so much that we couldn't see the grain, which in that tabletop was quite beautiful actually. Somehow, it even retained a bit of the typical fresh pine aroma, especially if one of the kids knocked it hard enough to put a dent into its legs! The following morning, there'd be this subtle hint of pine throughout the open-plan kitchen/dining room/living room we had! I was about 5 when I was let loose with a junior hacksaw, a hammer, nails and wood glue, and I'd make boats to sail on our fishpond lol. Not many dads at the turn of the 1970s let their daughters loose on anything "for boys"! That messing around (and having sailable boats at the end - very simple ones, of course, though I was allowed to paint them, too) taught me a lot about the basics of the wooden side of home maintenance. How to hold a hammer properly, for example. A few years later he taught me how to change an electric plug. I wasn't allowed to learn how to cook until I was about 12, and tall enough to see the contents of a saucepan on the back ring! I know that Scots pine isn't the sort of pine he used to create our attic play area, which included a seat (which held toys) and numerous bookshelves, but just that one word can transport me back 50 years in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for making this video in particular. I love all of your works, from the simplest to the "how the hell did he even come up with that idea, let alone make i!?" ones, but this is the first that I've seen (still catching up on your back catalogue - it's my "I need to relax" treat 😁) that took me back to my childhood in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for making this. It's going to be one of my all-time favourites! ❤️
