Afzelia wood?
Gran bel lavoro ! Ma non ho compreso di che legno si tratta.
Utile?
❤ This! A mallee burl maybe ? It's very pretty whatever it is!!
You fiend!
I think I’d just keep that pieces of wood as-is and stare at it on my desk all day haha.
The wood is pure gold 🤩 great grandpa had something out of wood he had. Reminds of our Swiss folks 😍Thanks Jack!
Thanks Jack for another masterpiece. Very beautiful. I shudder a bit every time I see you using the band saw or table saw with those gloves on though. As an ex cabinetmaker, we never ever allowed our employees to wear any kind of glove around machinery. My Dad actually lost two fingers while operating a table saw with gloves on. The glove caught the blade and pulled his hand in.
Fear not! They're nitrile gloves: skin tight, so next to no chance of catching and as strong in tension as you'd expect a 0.3mm thick elastic band to be, if they ever did.
Wore them 30 years as a mechanic and machinist. Cloth gloves may be a bad idea.
Yes Nitrile gloves tear when you look at them
Have been a machinist for 50 years and I agree 👍
There are those that have not been injured yet using woodworking machinery, and those that are going to.
Man, I can’t even imagine the hours it took to shape it with rasps and even more hours it took to sand this piece! Beautiful! ❤
I agree!
You can't imagine 3 hours?
I love this! I think this is the first time I’ve seen a coffee cup made. Thanks for sharing! I guess there’s really no limits of what you can make woodturning.
Doors
A spaceship.
So enjoyable to see hand carving skills alongside turning work. What a beautiful piece. ❤
Wow that is one purdy piece of wood!! Now it's purdy and functional
Now that was different, & SO pretty ! ❤
Finally! A perfect cup worthy of the perfectly roasted/brewed coffee. I've been searching for a mug for many years. Now it seems the goal is clearly presented.
Fine work Jack, enjoyed watching the filing used to create the details. Perhaps creating a mate with a different type of burl would compliment it. 😄😄
That mug would never leave my house!! I’m astonished as to how it turned out. Bravo sir
Glad you like it! Where are you watching from?
Pennsylvania
@@JackMackWoodturning I am watching your work from Finland and here the wooden cup is named Kuksa. It is a native Sami cup for every day use.
Absolutely beautiful grain on this piece, I'd enjoy a nice cup of tea in that
Stunning piece , the wood grain is amazing 🎉❤
That wood is absolutely beautiful. I can understand why it’s so prized. Wow. Ya done good, son.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing 😉
Beautiful coffee cup, Jack. I would definitely drink coffee out of it. 😊😊
Beautiful, thanks for sharing. 😮🇦🇺
absolutely stunning. thank you.
So beautiful that is expertly completed! Simply Wow!!
Thanks buddy
One very beautiful hand made coffee ☕️
I do have an idea for the cut off. Hollow out more to shape u want, fill cavity with foam, keeping flat sides. It will be easy to dig out. Make form for epoxy pour. Would make a beautiful flat sided vase. (some sanding required) Hate to see that go to waste. I do some wood carving by hand, and tend to look for abstract or odd shapes 😃 Thank you for your videos. Work is inspiring, drooling over that wood.
OMG! You are truly an amazing craftsman.
Don't know much about this,but I think it looks like birds-eye maple.
Beautiful Coffee cup
that wood looks like a wagyu a5 with a marbling score of 12
I don't know what that wood is other than gorgeous...
Absolutely gorgeous!
I love the smell of working with Thuya!
Hello Jack beautiful cap beautifully made well done
Simply beautiful, stunning skill👍
Beautiful coffee cup
Now All You Need to Make is the "Soup 🍲 Tureen" to complete the Job 👍👏! Love it! Sincerely 🤠 Mr Severance, "The Cake 🍰🎂🥳🎉 Man".
I love the way the cup came out, Jack. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Have your emoji addiction treated.
You’re super talented brother. What an amazing skilled trade!!! One of a kind. Thank you.
$1,000? Who would pay that ? Lovely cup. Birdy
I was thinking this what makes is $1000 cup has to be clickbait, it's amazing and really well done and unless the wood is extremely rare $1000 wood 🤷♂️
@@TheAshers999 I mean, it is extremely rare... Personally never seen a burl this dense for sale at this size. Usually these are sold as veneer, no idea how close this one is to 1k (minus other production costs)
Precious skills Jack thanks for sharing your art. My guess is the wood is a semi petrified fruit or nut tree root... maybe a walnut? I'm not sure though it's ever so lovely what ever it is. Ancient root system.
ОРЕХ ИЛИ СУВЕЛЬ ИЗ БЕРЁЗЫ, ещё ТОПОЛЬ напоминает. Работа супер)
Stunning 🤩
Stunning
Thanks buddy
Lovely piece of wood😍
Gorgeous!
Absolutely beautiful.
Wow amazing, clever and talented. ❤
You are a first class woodturner❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wish i had stacks of cash. I would be your top customer. Im a retired diesel mechanic/ metal machinist and my savings went to getting Dutch residency. Totally enjoy your channel
$1000? Beautiful work but $1000? Who would spend $1000 on a wooden mug
You’d be surprised 😮
The main reason why it's so much is because it's burled would, it's what gives the would it naturally shiny and unique appearance. Burled wood is expensive because of how rare it can be and how sought after it is for its beauty. Also because people would literally destroy hundreds of year old trees illegally to get there hands on such an expensive wood, so that they could either sell it, or use it for themselves.
for a unique handcrafted mug? some would pay a lot more
@@marc-etiennemercier6584 those people need to feed some starving children if that have that kind of money to blow….
@@JackMackWoodturningit’ll last for many, many years.
People commenting on this video: ‘It’s more a coffee gourd than a cup’
Jack, first time watching your YT. Very cool on how you built this coffee cup. I really enjoyed. On the wood, my best guest is Snakewood ... only saw it one time ... never since ... Bob
Lots of talent in this world.
That better be some cup of coffee...
That came out great, nice job.
Beautiful! I am on a kick of 20 ounces or more coffee mugs. I like a large amount of coffee rather than small coffee cups.
Excellent technique and professional use of tools!
This is beautiful but I winced when you stuck your hands into a running lathe with a part on one side and a hard steel part on the other.
Looks like Afzilia to me. Beautiful ❤️❤️
Would love to know what wood you used to value the piece at $1,000. But it is nice, good job
Looks like thuya burr
Beautiful!
lovely cup, it turned out beautifully! it looks like amboyna burl.
That was my answer too! I don't know if we're right.
Stunning and brave
i was waiting for you to slather it in epoxy
Looks like thuya burr? Like the best piece I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a lot
Beautiful and extremely creative ☕️ ❤
lovely mug!
retty darn good eye there Jack Mack . You are a true artiste . I have no idea what kind of wood it is , but it sure is beautiful . Does not look like anything I have seen in N.W. USA .
Absolutely beautiful and worth every cent. Even with the video, it's amazing that some people can't see it. -Even having to resort to being downright rude. Great work.
BEAUTIFUL
Imagine a chess set made of that stuff 😮
Hi Jack, this episode came on my Google feed, and like that it did. FANTASTIC workmanship. You make it look easy. My guess on the wood species is snakewood. Cheers!
Beautiful!!!!
Looks great.
Very nice a beautiful piece of wood.
No instant coffee in that cup, only the good stuff. Cheers
You have incredible talent. 😊 Wouldn’t mind having that $1000 dust collector in my abode. 😏😄
Amazing!!!!❤
Perfect 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️
Nice work
Love it. How do you know what cutting bits to use on all the different projects?
So very nice beautiful amazing
I'm going to guess, Mappa Burl. I'm not sure but fingers crossed. Great job!
Well done. Looks great!
beautiful!!!
I worked as a ferrier assistant for a bit, and one of the things I learned there, is to use the entire rasp in long controlled strokes working on horse hooves, not rubbing against the grooves. I hope this helps with your hand carving.
It might, if the wood were a hoof.
Really cool video.. makes me want a lathe.. 👍
BUTIFUL. COFFEE. CUP.❤
Beautiful sir
I have no idea what the wood is. All I can tell is it's very hard, very dense, beautiful and rare. It's a fantastic cup to sip coffee out of.
Stunning and very clever . Looks like it will be an expensive coffee cup though , Thuya Burl ? How permeable is it to liquid and did you use just Danish Oil on the surface ? 👏👏👏
thankfully I have a spur drive set coming for my shop fox desk midi lathe Can turn something other than pens soon
First time seeing this channel and subscribed. Love the cup. I think the wood is Thuya. Thanks for showing. Robert
Thanks for following along Robert. I hope You enjoy the 200 or so videos waiting for you on my channel. 👍🏻
Такую чашку на русском севере называют кукса. Обычно вырезают её вручную. Породу дерева не могу назвать, но анотомическое образование такого типа называется кап ( древесный нарост сформированный из клеток камбия и имеющий множествво спящих почек), возможно это нарост без спящих почек, тогда этом - сувель (= древесная кость) . Но это термины из анатомии растений.
,a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you……
Almost looks like with what you had left over after the band saw you could make a couple spoons or something
You do nice work.... 😊
If thats thuya wood, it smells amazing.
Looks like a type of Burl wood species.
Safety tip if you are starting out in woodwork. This is an improper and unsafe way to set up a bandsaw.
Very nice Cup😊
beautiful.
I would very much enjoy a cup a joe out of that cup!
