This Beautiful Wood Was Riddled With Ants | Woodturning

Описание: It seems like most of the wood I am turning on YouTube right now is driveway & yard wood; wood that has been sitting around for who knows how long. Well today I keep that streak alive with this beautiful piece of persimmon that has laid underneath some maple & hickory for far too long. Because of how long it has sit around, ants & other worms decided to make it their home which created some gnarly grain colors & bug voids. I will say the ant bites I received while turning this piece were worth it in the end. For the wood turners, if you ever get the chance to turn persimmon, I highly recommend it. Its a great wood to turn but be cautious with the drying; its a doozy.
