Terrific job Mate!!

I be playing with this wood for over 40 years.i must say the dust is toxic and if you do not have a p 3 filter on your mask don’t turn it.. The specific gravity of the wood is over 1.21 and thus is the heaviest wood in the US.. Desert iron wood is perhaps in the top 8-9 heaviest woods in the world.. The wood turns nicely and polishes to a high luster.. The tree is quite small diameter not much over 18” and 30 feet tall.. Since about 2001 Bureau of land mgt has made all desert iron wood off limits.. No one can pick up or salvage dead trees anymore off of BLM land. Thus most wood comes from private land.. As a kid I lived in Phoenix from 1961 to 1964 and saw the tree in the desert.. Later I went to forestry school and not much was known about the tree.. The tree is an extreme in invader in hash areas and the shade provides micro climate for many cactus and other desert plants that can’t take full sun light or heat.. Just get the right dust mask protection first..

Next time try to use threaded insert

Love the concept and the dyeing

Surely does not look like Cocobolo I have been familiar with. Wrong species.

Beautiful work!!

Secure your lathe, it’s wabbles

Thank God, you’re not naked…

It was wind shake. High winds will break the tree and it’s only a matter of time before it falls. Always an adventure in turning.

Geez! Awesome!!

Nice job. I’ve just taken delivery of my Robert Sorby texturing tool and will make a start with it after I’ve finished decorating the kitchen. Thank you for sharing 🌞

Thank you for sharing! I really liked seeing you dye the wood. Not a lot of content covering that (seems simple, but great to show!)

Put some avocados in it.👍

Nice work mate, love your tecknique

Thank you for sharing your awesome pen dyed project with us. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

Nice work Erik. I recently turned a few bracelets using pretty much the same methods you used here. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

Wow incredible Erik. I will be trying this sometime in the future! I’ve been going back and work through your videos to see what I have missed. Take care!

Erik, is it possible to communicate with you privately? Got some questions about Beads of Courage Bowl construction.

It's been a couple years since watching your videos and as I get back into turning yours were the first I looked up. So sorry to see what has happened in the time that's passed.

This procedure seems rather scary in my opinion. I would 1) make the hole before turning and use a hollow counterpoint for the purpose 2) use a lunette!

Embellishments like that really dress up a turning. Thanks for sharing Eric! Take care, Dave

There is something blocking out about a third of your video. Maybe your pile of cash. Ha

Life throws us curves. Glad to see ya still at it.

😅

Very good! Lindo trabalho e arte! Som muito bom! Saudações do Brasil!

Good review!

Eric, So glad to see you're back!

I'm interested in your next several videos about these moisture meters.

Thanks Eric! I have this tool...honestly I do not use it enough. I feel like I never know what is going to happen but I always enjoy the outcome.

lol

A touch of class, beautifully.

Those tomatoes look great, as does the piece!

I really liked your tomato, and like for the dish. Beautiful.

Very nice, Erik. 🇩🇪👍

Great stuff cousin. Glad to see that you are getting super motivated again. Keep on turning.

Gorgeous
