Hello and welcome. In this video I make a torus / donut from ash wood on the woodturning lathe.
I found some checking in the wood very early on in the turn and this was a cause for concern right up until the point when I no longer needed to use the lathe. Despite the cracks, it held together! Phew!
Embellished with the Dremel Versatip and finished in Danish oil.
Next time I plan to create a jig to mount the piece making the removal of the centre plug and finishing off the inside edge a far less labour intensive process.
