A big storm took down this beautiful piece of crotch wood — but instead of letting it rot, I decided to give it a second life! 🌳
In this video, I mount the salvaged crotch wood on my Harvey T60S wood lathe and turn it into a platter using Easy Wood Tools carbide woodturning tools. You’ll see the whole process — from roughing out the shape to bringing out that gorgeous grain pattern unique to crotch wood.
For the finish, I used Hampshire Sheen Danish Oil, which really makes the figure pop and gives it a smooth, natural glow.
If you love woodturning, tool talk, or seeing rescued wood come to life, you’ll enjoy this one!
