Not only did I learn from this video. I did it while laughing my self silly. Thanks for the pointer on using the Dermal tool. You have the patients of Job and humor of Bob Hope.
Martin, I haven't managed to see all your videos, I am working hard on that though. And as usual you have done a splendid job. I love your work and I really like the "earthy" look of the outside of this piece along with the beauty of the inside. I really appreciate you sharing all your work, Thank You
I have been enjoying your videos for several months now. Your " messes" always seem to turn out well. Your work is very inspiring and has gotten me to think outside the box and try new things. Thanks!
I rather enjoyed watching your remedy to a difficult project. I could not see the colors on the outside of the bowl but I like it just the same. Sometimes we have to think outside the box in order to make a box. Thank you

Aloha Martin, The average turner would have thrown it in the fireplace by now. I share your frustration because I've been there as I'm sure most of us have. I think we share a certain stubborness. We don't want to be defeated by a piece of wood because we know we're better than that. Love the humor. Just ran across your channel and will become your latest subscriber. Jeff
That's kind of where I am at with one of my ongoing projects right now, I've taken an angle grinder to it of all things, outside is done, not happy with it, need to hollow out, but don't really want to. Aztec angst ended up looking very good, gave me the message to just get it done. Cheers
Hi Martin, thanks for another enjoyable video, I must say I wasn't expecting this piece to make it, but after the battle it turned out really nice, take care Harry
I have to say Martin, it was a good thing you got angry with this piece, because you have created another stunning bowl, full of unique character.....a bit like you really mate ;). Great work my friend Cheers Mike
Hi Ernest....you can if you like! This video was a long time ago now and I think I still have that bowl somewhere. As an 'angry' piece, it turned out quite well.
Know what you mean here, I have a start on a large vase that chased me around the shop. I banned it to the drying shelf...been about six weeks now. Anywho glad you had the gumpsion to carry on and finish. Turned out to be a certificate piece! Nice job!
Aztec Angst... very appropriate because, aside from the colour, I thought of the Nazca Lines in Peru when you had done the burning. You did well with this, I would have had it in the fire long ago. Best Wishes, Brendan.
Thank you Martin for another very interesting video and great result. The bowl is simply beautiful and I really like the rough texturing and colouring on the outside.I'm very open to taking on new ideas and you given me several in recent months.I don't feel qualified to offer advice to any other turner but when you were taming the bowl in the early stages I think your tail stock could have been engaged at least for a while for added safety.Best wishes,Alan.
Its a beautiful piece, well worth the frustration when wood will just not do as its told 😃😃😃 Regarding 3/8" walls or less, I think there are now two schools of woodturning, the traditional turning, where everything is round and brown but do aspire to a high degree of accuracy with tool work and almost rigid rules, including thin walls and a hatred of colour. The the other, more modern approach, where colour and finish is almost everything and rules, like, thin walls, are not as important. However, the old painters often painted there masterpieces on wood panels. Thanks James
I heard recently you can use Hampshire Sheen on your muesli. Another great vid Martin, I really liked the burnt effect on the edge, very beautiful contrast to the inside. 👍🏼
It's funny when you watch a video like this, because you see the piece at the start, but when the turning starts, I automatically forget what the piece looked like, only to be skeptic, surprised, and all the range of thoughts you go while watching someone else turn, which is good, since you get to be surprised when the turning is done. Or is it just me?... Any way, wonderful bowl, loved even the hard parts, we have those sometimes, that bit falling off was anoying as hell, I would have moved to an ax at that point... good job man, and that finish, damn, I'm starting to get turned around to it :)
In spite of all the trouble that turned out beautifully. Here's a question. When I go out to craft shows how should I go about pricing my work. That is bothering me a bit, will you help? I'm across the big pond so we won't be in competition with each other anytime.
I get and I am impressed by the texture and colors much like Stewart f But on a green blank? Guessing that you also enjoy what nature will do to your piece Either way Props to you
Martin another very informative video. Great job. Some questions since this was wet wood won't it distort over time as it dries? If that is the case, what affect will it have on the overall piece and how will you compensate for it?
hi martin love your colorful work could you tell me please whice airbrush you use or recomend for beginers and which colors do you use all the best shachar
Hi Martin well what can I say without being horrible too you I think you save the bowl from the fire and I do like the inside of it but I am not a grate fan of the outside but I do see where you are coming from it wouldn't do if we all liked the same things but nice video by the way I like the way you put your work across in your videos Take care Ian and safe turning
A good save there Martin. I think you're as stubborn as me and once you've started you keep going until it's finished... Or one of you is dead. I don't think anyone other than you can decide how thick the walls should be; it all depends on the piece. I always tend to go too thin as I'm never happy with the finish but they tell me it comes with practice. Keep at it buddy. Cheers, Ben
I have been holding on to some thoughts since you started with the airbrush. I'm not a fan of that technique. I think all of the pieces you have done with it are beautiful. I also think you can make your walls as thick or thin s you see fit. Nice job, beautiful piece.
Nice! You mentioned some talks about bowl thicknesses being no greater than 10mm, in my opinion, right or wrong does not exist in art. As my writing professors use to tell me, keep experimenting, taking chances: Poetry is truth, action is drama, and art is beauty. Not my words, but I try to turn by them. Thanks again for sharing.
Ayup Martin, I thought that you ruined the bowl when you applied the different textures! That was until you started your air brushing and scorching! !! It looks chuffin ace mate. I used to do something very similar with texture paste for the backgrounds of cards. But I then cut leaf shapes out of thin perspex and use stipple brushes to stipple around the leaves with a colour used from the background! You could do the same but with the airbrush! As long as the leaf/shape is close to the bowl surface it should work. Or cut the shapes out of coke cans then press the shape to the general shape of the bowl, you could then scorch instead of the airbrush! Nothing to heavy just delicate spraying or scorching if you know what I mean! I hope you don't think I'm poking my nose in mate it's just a suggestion if ya want something else out of the spraying or scorching. I think it's called negative stencilling or something like that. But I love what you've done to the cherry bowl, its becoming your signiture. Thanks for sharing a brilliant video. Cheers Andy
Having more time to add to my comment below. Have you tried cutting shapes out of tin foil? then dab the back with pritstik and sticking them to the wood before spraying! The shapes could be cut or just ripped for a more random look! Such as... Snow flakes stars and stripes! hearts leaves feathers circles squares the list goes on, you could get a base background by wrapping string and elasic bands around the wood! A plastic carrier bag looks good when crunched up and wrapped with a few rubber bands then lightly cover with thin paint and then dabbed hard on to the wood. Paint or spray white spirits onto the wood before dabbing with paint to get a more random but feathery blur to the edges of the paint. Wrap thick copper wire around the wood before spraying or burning, twist wire together to get wider lines. The closer the wire is to the wood the sharper and clearer the image should be! You could even push the shapes under the wire, but I would lightly burn or spray the wire first then add the shapes and repeat for more depth. This was your control is cut down drastically, you don't know what you've got until you strip away the wire and tin shapes! It's very much like putting pottery ready to be glazed into a kiln, you have so much control but it's the randomness that makes it beautiful!

Awesome tips Andrew. I live in Hawaii which is kind of a black hole for artists. I hope you don't mind if I borrow some of your ideas. Jeff

Lol lol lol... ahh so it's on a bowl eh.... I've been thinking about an idea for some time now... a patriotic idea. Only problem is that it invoves quite a lot!!! It would take some time to write everything down. If you are interested I can have a go to write all the instructions down and send it you, no problem. Looking forward to the your pyrography big time. Cheers .
+Martin Saban-Smith I'll have a go at writing it down, not much material needed but quite a few procedures. A bit hectic here right now lol so I'll do it later. Where would you prefer me to send it to?

Thanks for the video Martin.You finally got the bowl beaten into submission.....Sounds great !!
Take care.

Martin, I enjoy your videos very much, thank you. I hope some of your responders also agreed that pens do not have to be highly polished.

Instead of burning my mistakes, may I send them to you to add your “out of the box” saving techniques? Real treasure, Martin‼️

It's your bowel make the walls however thick/thin you want. If someone doesn't like it they can make they're own bowel. I enjoy your artistic variety.

+Martin Saban-Smith totally agree my friend! Keep those videos coming!
I think I would have tried Ultra-thin CA in the hole to reinforce the thread grip.
