Woodturning: The Cherry Canary!

This piece was the product of a few days of staring at the woodpile and wondering which piece would fly onto the lathe and inspire me. In spite of the fact that nearly all of the sap wood was rotten and punky and insect-ridden, this piece of wild Maine black cherry eventually decided to sprout the most annoying wings ever sanded and then required a pedestal in order to sit upright. I'm fairly pleased that both the project and I came out of this one piece, respectively, without losing too many chunks of wood or knuckles. This is my 31st filmed project! Let me know what you think!

A huge Thank You to those who helped out during my recovery the last few months. If you'd like to support what I do in the shop through my paypal (paypal.me/dadamsen), I really appreciate it!

On November 5, 2020 before sunrise, I was climbing a tree to my deer stand when I lost footing and fell about 25 feet to the ground. I woke up 20 minutes later thinking I had taken a nap under the tree for no apparent reason. I soon realized my back and right hand were broken, specifically my L1 vertebra burst fractured and my right index metacarpal broke in 5 pieces. I was able to walk about 100 yards out of the woods to my friend's waiting canoe and was taken to the hospital. God was very merciful. I could have become paralyzed or worse, but I am slowly getting back on my feet and hoping to make the best of 2021!
