I love it when a piece of wood has a story behind it. To most people this piece of Ash would be no different to any other (apart from the obvious rope marks) but to me it means a lot more. The rope that has scarred the branch over 15 years used to hold up my childhood swing. I have a huge amount of treasured memories from hours of fun had on the tire swing built by my dad. Unfortunately, the tree needed to be pruned back, I tried to make sure that the finished piece kept as much of that story alive as possible, I hope I succeeded.

My videos are for entertainment purposes only. I am still relatively new to woodturning and some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest. When using any tools or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines.
Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practise. The gloves I wear are tight fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing.
