My next Lathe (Impressive woodturner)

[donnalleyd]

I think this might be my next lathe. Actually, I wish I could turn this could with a skew and my foot.

That's a pretty sophisticated lathe - variable speed, forward & reverse operation and instant on/off controls. Not sure I could afford one, let alone operate it.

And he does it all with a skew.

Does anyone know what kind of wood he is using?
