Woodturning | Sapele Bowl with Resin Inlay
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 май 2021
- In this video I make a shallow Sapele bowl with a resin inlay. The finished dimensions are 11-5/8"x 1- 7/8". This was the first time using Sapele and it turns and finishes excellently! Watch what the resin does when I add the white to the inlay, it is very cool and I had no idea it would do that on its own. Please leave a comment and a thumbs up or down, I respond to all comments!
I hope you enjoy this video, thank you to all who watch!
Stunning. As a noob who has made nothing remotely presentable yet. This is the inspiration that keeps me going. Thank you.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
A perfect example of "Understated Elegance".
Thank you Kelvin, I appreciate it!
That is a beautiful emerald green especially with the choice of wood. The idea of adding the white worked very well.
Thank you Ron, I appreciate it!
A couple shots caught that beautiful iridescence! Nice.
Thanks, it is really nice wood!
I have only just started Woodturning , i have only just found your channel and already pick up a few tips. Great videos i could sit and watch you all day i find them so relaxing .
Thank you Rob, I’m glad you enjoy them. Thank you for watching!
Never heard of sapele wood before. It's obviously pretty hard wood, for it to achieve such a shine without sanding. The piece is beautiful and inspiring! Thanks, and well done!
Thank you Stephanie! It was my first time turning it, very nice to work.
Good idea on the inlay before turning it out. Haven't seen that trick before.
Very nice turn,
Lee
Thank you Lee! I appreciate you watching!
i am not a !fan " of resine but you really brought out the beauty of this wood with the small amout of it and help show its chattoyance ..thanks for sharing ..BRAVO
Thank you Gerard. I actually really enjoy working with resin. It adds another dimension to what you can do. I appreciate you watching!
Very, very nice, I like how that came out. Thank you for sharing your video.

That is a beautiful platter. Sapele is such beautiful wood.
Thank you Richard, this was the first time I used Sapele and I love it!
Beautiful 👍👍👍 . Thanks for sharing
Thank you, I appreciate it!
I have never heard of Sapele wood before but gosh it is really very nice. To me the grain is shown to best effect on the outside of the bowl. I think some people use resin to quickly & to not always to very good effect. What you have done with the resin in this project actually highlight the timber & the actual bowl & the timber does the same for the 'marble' resin. A really great job, my friend & keep up your great work. Stay safe & well, Don from South Aust.
This was the first time using Sapele, I have enough to make 3 more similar size pieces. Thank you for watching!
Great work and video too. Its the right amount of narrative for my tastes.
Thank you, I appreciate you watching!

Wanted to say thank you for your advice, I appreciate it! Great work, really beautiful! I'm subbed, love how you explain what your doing. It's short and to the point, just the facts. Awesome channel, especially for a beginner like myself, I am addicted for sure!
Thank you, I really appreciate you watching!
You got it, I look forward to your next project!
I think a butternut pet urn is next. Subject to change!
the way the grain in the wood makes it look like satin, and changes colors when you rotate it, is amazing. gorgeous centerpiece!
Thank you!
One very beautiful platter Lewis.
Thanks so much Jack!
That's Beautiful 😊

Absolutely beautiful mate ! Lovely job . Not sure i would want to risk the hot glue technique at the end but it worked well I love the finish you get ! See you next time
Thanks Dan, I appreciate you watching!
Really nice! I just discovered Sapele, it is a beautiful wood.
It is Fantastic Bailey! Thank you for watching buddy!
Love your videos
Really love this piece
Thank you Nicole!
Wow, that is absolutely beautiful. You are correct, the chatoyance of the Sapele is great and your choice of the green resin really complements it. Awesome project
Thank you Mark! I appreciate it!
Well done!
Thanks so much Clayton!
Stunning looking bowl. You picked a great piece of wood and I love the green/white combination. Brilliant idea to hot glue it onto a round piece to finish the base with. 👍👍👍
Thank you Simon. Sometimes I prefer not to leave the mortise. I think this way looks more refined and is worth the effort. Thank you for watching!
I have seen the sapele on guitars for several years.
Glad to see it being turned.
You nailed the finish and the resin. Beautiful piece!!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Really beautiful
Thank you Glenn, I appreciate it!
Great job and beautiful results. Really like the look of the pearl white mixed with the green. Well done!
Thank you Richard! I appreciate you watching!
The chatoyance of that wood is fabulous. Love your resin rim as well. Excellent.
Thank you Doug, I appreciate you watching buddy!
Very impressed! How long have you been turning? I'm a beginner and am a new subscriber. I learn a great deal by watching you turn. Thank you.
Thank you Anne, I’ve been turning for over 25 years. I appreciate you watching!
Gorgeous bowl although the close up thumbnail made me think for a moment you made a back massager.
Haha thanks! I appreciate you watching!
Another successful gorgeous piece, I really like the contrast with the inlay the colour selection really sets it off
Thanks so much Brent, I appreciate it!
That's a real beauty, Lewis! Love the color combo and swirl of the resin. Thanks!

Thank you Paul, I appreciate it!
Truly gorgeous Lewis! The chatoyance is just jaw dropping!
Loved the way the resin colors interacted with each other, that was pretty amazing to catch on camera!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Seth, I had no idea it would do that, was very cool! Thanks for watching buddy!
I really like the way the inlay turned out on this one!
Thanks! I was pretty happy with it also, you never know!
Really pretty piece Lewis. The greens and pearl swirl beautifully compliment the sapele.
Thank you Dave, I appreciate it!
Nice piece
Thank you Bruce, I appreciate you watching!
Another beautiful piece that would match my collection 😉 great craftsmanship Lew
Thanks Deanna, you will have to speak to your husband to add it to the collection! I appreciate you watching!
Beautify inlay, Lewis! Love the tight grain and colour of the stock.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Amazing chatoyance, and I loved how the resin inlay turned out, Lewis! As always, another amazing piece, my friend!

@@TheKlondikeCraftsman 👍🏻
Amazing project Lewis. I absolute love watching your videos. I think your voice over always sounds so calm, so not just only do i like your projects, it really has a calming effect watching your videos. Keep do what your doing as its working 😁👍🏼👏
Thank you Japie! I appreciate it buddy!
Beautiful results! I love the added color.
Thank you Rick, I appreciate you watching!
Another beautiful piece! Love how the resin turned out. I’m just waiting for the ‘She-Shed’ to warm up a bit so I can start playing with some resin. I think I might copy this project! 😃
Thanks Jeanie, things should be warm enough soon! Thank you for watching!
Really beautiful!! Well done Lewis.
Thank you Ruby, I appreciate you watching!
Your work is gorgeous! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks so much Amy, I appreciate it!
Beautiful inlay! Great job!
Thank you David, I appreciate it!
Darn, I missed your live. I don't know anything about this wood except it's always so pretty! I don't like green. But a few years ago I decided I really like this color of green with a light brown... wood in this case lol. Sounds like you scored at the lumber years place. So, since you're in Canada, has your wood prices also gone up? I know they have really gone up here. Thanks for sharing your creativity with me again Lewis. Stay safe, Vickie
Thank you for watching Vickie! Yes wood has gotten expensive but the guys I buy from are still very reasonable.
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman someone said since the border isn't open, we can't get all our Canadian wood so the price has gone way up.
Very neat bowl. The extra effort you put into the bottom was really cool. 😎
Do you have a link for those gloves?
Thanks! I don’t have a link for them but they are made by Ansell, you can find a distributor close to you I am sure. Thanks for watching!
Watched your video today and loved the bowl, the inlay really was spectacular. I had asked whether a pressure pot was mandatory and you said for the most part it was beneficial. What size pot would you say is the minimum, knowing of course it depends on what you turn. I do mostly bowls, vases and hollow forms. Thanks in advance.
Hi Peter, I use 2 pressure pots. A 5 gallon for the main project and a 2.5 gallon for cases where I have extra resin. I always have a backup mold ready to hold any extra. There is always a financial consideration but I couldn’t function without at least a 5 gallon. I’m considering getting a 10 gallon as there are bigger hollow forms and bowls I’d like to do. Thank you for watching!
Beautiful piece, wow! Where does one learn the filling technique? Is a pressure pot required? Love the contrast to the sapele. Thanks
Thank you Richard! Pressure pot is preferred but for shallow pours like this there are resins you can get that do not require a pot. You learn by watching and doing ! Thank you for watching!
Such a beautiful job. I have some mahogany blanks in the garage just waiting for a good idea. I’m just getting ready to start playing with resin too. How fast was the bowl turning when you turned the resin with the NR carbide tool?
Hey! The speed was over 2000 rpm. Resin likes to be turned very fast. Thank you for watching!
Who in their right mind could contend with the stunning results of this effort? Certainly not me. What does get my attention however, is a continuing trend among turners in the face of ever dwindling sources of exotic woods.
Maybe it's just me, but to take a 2" thickness blank, and shave the outer rim thickness to what...3/4" thickness- (if that) - and have only 1-1/4" remaining for depth+ finish of the bottom? All that besides going through all the grits, depending on which one you start with (150 or 180).
And what happens to the excess epoxy resin that was mixed? Does that just get thrown out?
I've no issues with confessing to not being a turner myself but for only a few years, and still consider myself to be more student than pro. But having spent a few decades in another career, I am in no wise amateurish in my inquiring.
So help me out...help me understand if this technique of yours is just style or what?
What's the take away for me to learn for getting similar results, but with more efficiency and less waste?
If you are looking to turn wood or resin without waste I don’t know where to point you. I never throw out excess resin, I always cast it separately for other projects. This piece was nearly the full 12” that I started with and was just slightly under 2” thick. Always try to maximize the size of the finished project.
Thanks for watching
Hmmm, vacuum chuck works great.
I didn’t own a vacuum Chuck when I made this piece actually. Thanks for watching!
I love how the resin turned out! Beautiful!
Question...which one is best, a mortise or tenon? And how deep is deep enough for a mortise?
Thank you! That is a complicated question without a straight forward answer. I believe a tenon is stronger but you will always have to turn the bottom off. Mortises can be sanded and left that way as a finished bottom. I just chose not to in this case. Mortise depth depends on the size of the piece and grain etc. Mortises can split open if not deep enough or if not in strong/solid wood so there is always that risk. To be honest I probably use both equally. Thank you for watching!
An easier way to do hot gun glue is to melt glue sticks a dedicated electric fry pan.
Yes I know lots of people who do that. I dont use enough to make the leap yet but if I do I will. Thanks for watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman 🙂
Nice work, as I was watching you expertly cutting that channel for the resin I wondered, would it be of any benefit to cut a dovetail on both sides? Probably over-engineering because I’m pretty sure that resin ain’t letting go?
Hey Joe! The resin is fine as far as I know. There would be nothing wrong with making a dovetail to ensure things stayed put though. Good idea! Thank you for watching!
Beautiful thanks for sharing
How deep do you cut your mortise?
It really depends on the size/weight of the piece and the shape and grain. Never more than 1/4' though. Thanks for watching!
It would be great if you mention prices so we can determine costs, etc.
Thanks Jim, I don’t talk prices on commissions though. I appreciate you watching!
Can you please give reference to the materials you use: finishing, resin, sealer, etc?
Hey Ferrell, I say or show every product in the video as I am using it other than the resin which I do not mention for a reason. In more current videos I link the companies where I buy these items in the description. I appreciate you watching!
What hot glue are you using. Beautiful bowel
I use Arrow slow setting hotmelt. Thanks and thanks for watching!
I liked the inset ring on the front of the plate...but you took it away.
The mortise that I held it on with you mean? I've found they sell better if you remove that. Thanks Morgan
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman 😟no, on the inside. Wait, you had both a mortise and a tenon...I guess the mortise.
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman no, at 16:07 where the tenon was. There's usually an indented ring on the inside of the bowl.
At 16:07 I was just hollowing out the center.
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman yes I know...but that was an example of a ring inside I was talking about.
