In this woodturning video, I turn a segmented type, with the notoriously splintery Black Palm. I formed a brick pattern by adding oak and completed it with Danish oil.

Keep up the amazing work as always, Andy!
Thanks very much.
You make some of the coolest stuff. All the prep work must take forever.
Thank you..
I live on the west coast, but I’m originally from Arizona. With the abundance of Palm shade I’ve stood under over the last fifty years, I’ve wondered what Palm wood would look like if turned. Turns out it looks amazing. This is gorgeous.
Many thanks
Love it! The grain, the finish, the shape.. perfection
Many thanks! 👍
Les assemblages sont beaux et travaillés à merveille ❤
Your creativity is impressive
Very beautiful piece my friend!!
As soon as I see the saw come out and cutting pieces at an angle, I know we are in for something special, these types of build are my favourite. This Black Palm wood is stunning. Love it Andy
I think the same thing when so many small pieces are cut at an angle. So much talent.
Nice vase. Like the contrast between the wood. Keep it up.
I do love your segmented pieces. Very nice sir
That push stick is awesome! You have so much patience to work with so many little pieces.
Beautiful and unique. Thank you for sharing. Take care and stay safe 💜
Outstanding Andy as always you do very fine work I’d like to see more of you working with wood and resin
That striped palm wood with the lighter wood between looks so effective!
Amazing, Andy! Phenomenal work!!! 😮
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Beautiful piece. This is also quite exceptional. When I started turning, I had easy access to thinks like palm and padauk and saga (red bead tree), picking large rounds and chunks of them up off the street or from scrap bins. I think these three represent some of the most difficult turning materials because palm is just so splintery, padauk notoriously creates fine dust that imbeds in everything, and the saga tree is one of the hardest wood anymore (found one reference saying its Janka is ~3700). Of those, palm was my greatest nemesis. I eventually “got there” with it, but I went through scores of blanks before I ever made the first piece I was happy with. And that is what I meant by exceptional, taking a very difficult wood to work and making it look as easily as turning cherry. And as always, enjoy watching your process and the editing makes it such a soothing experience.
The grain plus your choice of construction makes this piece so cool to just look at and enjoy!
This one is exceptional!
Another stunning piece, Andy!
Thats a beautiful wood. Using a brick pattern really mskes it stand out. I like your cutting jig too.
