Darren’s Woodworks

I’ve been working with trees for almost 40 years. I farmed trees such as citrus, walnut, olive, and avocados. For many reasons I have cut a lot of trees into firewood in my day. I noticed how beautiful the wood was inside, yet I had no idea how to do any sort of wood working. About 10 years ago I came across a very interesting piece of wood, and I finally decided to make something with it. I let it dry for a year still not knowing what to do. I bought a carving tool and attached it to my grinder and carved a bowl, and sanded for 2 weeks. It was beautiful. I loved it. It was very satisfying work. I even made a few more. It was very time consuming to make them. One day I met a man who did woodturning. He could make, and sand a bowl in just a few hours. Well that did it for me. I bought a lathe that I could not afford and began woodturning. And now I have the opportunity to show other people something that I love to do. I hope you enjoy the videos. Thank you for watching my videos.
