In this video, Jerry Crowe, nationally recognized wood turner and artist, will demonstrate his techniques for turning raw wood into lasting art treasures. All of Jerryu2019s artwork starts with fallen trees or old stumps and ends as a one of a kind work of art. The finished shape and form is completely de- pendent upon the character of each wood blank.
Jerry will show you how to select the wood to use and then lead you step by step through the entire process of wood preparation, rough cutting, turning and sanding, wax coating, kiln drying, fine turning and sanding, stone inlay techniques, finishing treatments and buffing and polishing. Jerry will share with you his 25 years of experience turning wood and producing art.
If you are new to wood turning, this video will provide you with a wonderful insight and head- start into a fascinating craft taught by a true expert and wood enthusiast. Just watching Jerry inlay turquoise, lapis and malachite into these unique artworks is a site to behold and appreciate.

It was interesting, but not very informative or professional.
Excellent down to earth demonstration of hollow vessel turning an finishing. I was impressed enough with his finishing technique that I adopted it. His use of CA glue, sawdust and crushed semi-precious stone to fill voids and decorate turnings is excellent. I was impressed enough with this video that I purchased my own copy after viewing.
Very good, some times your not sure what tool he is using but a very talent artist. He shows some of his work at the end of dvd that is outstanding and made me wonder how he made them.He should make another and show method of vertical groves like the ones display at the end of dvd
1)this dvd would not play in my sony player..first dvd i've ever had that would not play in this device. so i played it on my computer.
2)really poor camera work. if a turning dvd is going to be instructional you have to see what the tool tip is doing. i've looked at many and money spent on professional camera man is well spent, but not here.
3) dubbing the voice to the video after the shooting allows the background noises to be muffled and the voice to be clear. not done on this video although i would not reject it because of this problem. richard raffan's videos, for instance, seem to use this technique.
4) good tip on using velcro to hold sandpaper to a glove for interiors of hollow forms. i will use this tip.
5)his finished bowls and HF's are stunning. adding turquoise to the voids is brilliant. i just wish he had hired a pro to produce the video.
