Taken sometime this one, reason I haven't posted for a few weeks as I've been working on this. Main body of the telescope is made from Sycamore, all other pieces are made from a piece of wood from a Cucumber Tree.
The total magnification is around x18 with the 50mm lens and 20mm eyepiece. Each piece was dried and then treated with a heat cured resin so there is no movement in the piece at a later date.
Finished in Danish oil

Dude your insanely talented. I have been around for many of your projects but this is the definition of AMAZING!!! Keep it up man. I'm astounded every time I see your stuff.
Thanks! Will do!
Marvelous Matt! Always inspire and amaze!
What a stunning combination of engineering art and woodturning art! 😳 Imo this is a masterpiece. Huge respect to you, Matt! 👏🏼👌🏼
Thank you so much 😀
You know what would be awesome, Matt? A kaleidoscope! 😱 As always, mate, you've done a fantastic job !! 🎉❤👏🏾🙋🏾♀️
Thanks, I'll put it on the ideas list
I don't know if you are a genius or a crazy man... unbelievable work!!! 😨😨👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you
Not only looks incredible, but it’s functional!!! Fantastic job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Completely agree with D. below! I've Never seen you do anything as intricate as this! Astonishing and beautiful!👍👏👏👏 Blessings!💜
❤oh my goodness! The amount of planning and work that you put into this is amazing ❤
Huh, so you gave in and put metal legs on it😊.................that is just beyond amazing. The planing of it must take a lot of time, let alone the actual making! 10 out of 10 from the Essex judge🥇🏆
Thanks, way toying with the idea of wooden legs but gave that up.
Oh man. I finally understand! Jesus, that's a hell of a project. I loved the tin casting, really inspired!
This was a great one, all the sounds were going hard on my ASMR, almost fell asleep. So nice.
This was outrageously ambitious! Amazing result. I think you deserve to prove the moon is made of cheese if you can make a telescope of wood!
Oh my!!! Intricate!! Time to find a turning I can do!! Really nice job! It would look great in my living room!
What an incredible build, Matt. So ambitious and it is beautiful, too. 👍😊
Thanks so much!
Awesome 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself, 🇨🇦

The level of precision and craftmanship necesary for this is astounding.
I have no words.. my brain explodes with this projectl! Brilliant
...that is truly unreal!!!...what a work of art!!!...is there anything you can't create?!?!?...👍 Matt

Hi Matt, love the way you combine turning with all the other possibilities that it can create - this is just crazy cool. Cheers.
Glad you like it!
at the start of the video I expected a sculpture, by the end my mind was blown. Nice job!
Thanks
When I saw Sycamore, I thought about Zacchaeus who climbed up a Sycamore tree trying to "see" Jesus. As the little kids' song says, "to see what he could see." The level of detail and craftsmanship are outstanding!!
Thank you Richard
Brilliant! An actual working telescope made mostly from wood!
Thanks
Hot damn! The precision on that one, really impressive!

You are so good that I literally want to quit woodturning after watching....
I normally aim to inspire people to try something different😂
Gorgeous work

Have you been spying on the neighbours again? Lovely build though, that grain really pops.

Cool Matt. Don't take it out in the humidity. ✌️
Thanks, its fine, all the wood is stabilised in resin to stop it moving 👍
When I go to make a waffle, I burn the damn thing. This dude is making telescopes out of tree trunks. 😂 Where did my shop teacher go wrong in life?
Pretty neat Matt.
Telescope is fantastic looking. You did a magnificent job making it.
Amazing 😮

Amazing telescope
