Woodturning: Yellow Birch Pedestal Box

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! This is my 7th filmed project, and it had a rocky start! I think I need a bigger lathe! This piece of yellow birch was harvested within the past year or two, so it was not fully dry. However, it was very spalted and soft, which seemed to indicate it was close to becoming punky. In hindsight, I probably should have restricted myself to an oil finish in order to let the wood dry while the oil hardens instead of trying to seal the wood immediately with wax. Anyway, let me know what you think!

This piece will not be for sale. It will be a gift to my friend who gave me the yellow birch for free.
