Song: Fire – by Mindme
Why this song? Its flame birch, purpleheart and heart pewter lid… flaming heart! It’s on fire!

It’s been awhile since I turned a potpourri pot and I have been thinking about a two tone glue up. In this piece I used Flame Birch for the top and bottom and a piece of purpleheart for contrast. In addition, I tried to make the proportions look appealing.

This project started off on a bad note. Huge chuck of purple heart flew off. Had to cut it away and glue another piece on. Reshaping the bowl I think made it dangerously small. In the end I managed to keep it wide enough to put the pewter lid on and have a little girth.

I used Titebond glue, instead of my usual two part epoxy, which left air pockets after drying. I filled the gaps with CA glue and sanded it all back. Looks good and has a nice shine after the O.B. Shine Juice was applied.

One of thing about the pot that was a little annoying, the flame birch color. Because it was two different pieces of wood, there was a slight color difference. Next time I do this I might try it from one tall piece cutting the top off to slip a contrasting wood between.

Tell me in the comments below, if you would like to see me attempt that sooner then later.

Reminder: I am new to wood turning, so please DO NOT do as I do. This is NOT a teaching or “how to” video. Maybe you can pick up a thing or two NOT to do. Working with tools of any kind is dangerous and must be handled at your own risk. Please if you see something I’m doing wrong, provide any feedback and/or advice in the comments below.

I am documenting my journey into wood turning. Wood turning is a new hobby, which I find enjoyable and rewarding. It has also been a passion of mine to work with video. So, it is my intentions to produce a weekly video, which I hope is entertaining.
