Woodturning Hawaii’s Invasive Species! 🌴

This Hawaiian Kiawe wood is used as cooking/smoking firewood, which supposedly imparts tropical flavors to grilled or smoked meats! The more you know...

Thank you all so much for watching! This is my 27th filmed project, and it was quite a beast! Not only was this wood far more dense and hard than I anticipated, but it also was completely end-grain, which meant my Tormek sharpener worked overtime. It wasn't until late in the making process of this piece that I realized there was dust behind the lens of my camera, so I sent it off for cleaning and repairs. Sadly, that means I am without a decent video camera for a few weeks. So if my next upload is a bit late, then that will mean it has taken ages to get my camera back... Yep, first world problems...

If you haven't heard of Brad from YouTube channels, Brad's Workbench and Rated R Woodturning, you should check him out! (Links to his channels below and in the video end screen.) Brad asked me to try out 2 new finishing compounds he has been working on, one a fine abrasive paste and the other a tung wax finish. Check out the links to his Etsy store, where he sells them!
