- Woodturning - Texturing with a Rotary Chisel and colouring with spirit stains and gilt cream from Chestnut Products.
It's a been a while between videos, but here's my latest effort - having a play with a rotary chisel. A simple effect for the first time out, but this tool is capable of great work.

I am using one of their smaller cutters - larger ones are available but I don't have anything big enough to hold the 1/4" shaft...yet!!
Colours are Royal Blue and Blue from Chestnut Products and I also use their Silver Gilt Cream. I used ebonising lacquer as the base and Woodwax 22 as the top coat. The middle of the platter was finished with Cut 'n' Polish and Woodwax 22.
Sadly, this platter no longer exists! The colour and texture has already been turned off ready for another play...and another video!
See me demonstrate at Chestnut Products Woodturning Weekender on 3-4 August 2019...chestnutproduc...

Since I started making these videos in 2017, I have been lucky enough to receive the support of some manufacturers with materials to use in my videos. Since May 2018, Chestnut Products have provided me with stains, an iridescent paints sample set, lacquers and waxes. I'd like to thank them for their kind and generous support. Martin Saban-Smith has provided me with a sample set of Intrinisic Colours.
All other products and tools, unless where indicated, have been bought from suppliers at retail prices. Products mentioned in my videos are for information purposes so that viewers know what I have used.
Floats my boat Stewart!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁
Thanks, Alan! It's proved a popular look, this one!
Welcome back whoever you are. 😉
Ha ha....I wonder myself sometimes....Cheers!
Very effective. Do it again, do it again!!!
Ha ha....thanks, Valerie.....with different colours.....or as Bop-It used to say to me whenever I tried to play it: 'Do it again, but better!'
Looks a great bit of kit Stewart and works a treat in your hands, as for being forgotten no one will ever forget your projects welcome back 👍👍👍
Ah, thanks, Barry! It's a nice little cutter. I'm looking forward to another play with it soon. Cheers!
Another fun video.
Thanks Stewart
Fun is what it's all about! Cheers, Steven!
Great video as always.. Thanks for feeding my wood turning video addiction...
Thank you, Holly! Hopefully there'll be another one next week!
Hi Stewart, happy to see your videos again
Hi Francis - glad to be bak at last and glad you're enjoying my videos. Cheers!
It's good to see a video from you again, Stewart. And no, we're not going to forget who you are. Some of your color experiments are burned into the memory forever :-D I didn't think i was going to like this project, but you pulled another rabbit out of the hat and it turned out to be quite good. Clyde
Haha...burned into the memory in a good way, I hope!!! Cheers, Clyde - glad you liked this one in the end!
Another wonderful project Stewart, you are an inspiration for color projects. I find myself looking at all my projects to see if color will enhance it. I must say I’ve done quite a few now since watching you. 👍🇺🇸
Thanks, Cortland - glad you're having fun with your own colouring. Cheers!
I'm always impressed by the ease with which you achieve your effects. How I wish I had your talent and the time to develop the skill. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Philip - hope you can give this one a go. Cheers!
Another great project Stewart, love it!
Cheers, John - a variation on a theme, I guess. Fun to do!
Appreciate you taking the time to post and share nice video have a blessed day
My pleasure, Tim. Thanks for commenting and enjoying my videos. Cheers!
Ich finde es toll zu sehen, das Profis auch etwas vermasseln und nicht immer alles klappt! - Danke Grüße aus Deutschland/ Hamburg.
Haha - I love making mistakes!! Cheers!
It looks really nice Stewart and it’s good to see you again. Thank You.
Thank you, Steve. Delighted you like it. Cheers!
Oh, good. It was you gone and not me. I get confused about those things. Glad you're back.
You'll have a lot of fun with that rotary tool, so many things you can do with them. The saw blades are surprisingly useful for texturing and cutting coves. I might have gone with copper with the blue, but I did like the silver.
Oh, I heard The Star Spangled Banner. Stars and Stripes Forever is a John Phillips Sousa march. It also is very popular for putting inappropriate lyrics to. But I don't discuss that until I've had a couple of beers...
Thanks, Bill. Glad my return to the screen has helped you realise who was missing! I wondered if I'd got the name wrong. Blue and copper sounds nice - I'll give it a go sometime. Inappropriate lyrics are great.....Nice to hear from you! Cheers!!
I really like this one, Stewart. Don't destroy it, I'm with Kostas here.
Billy
Oops....too late, Billy....sorry!!! Glad you liked it, though....Cheers!
Different from your usual, its fantastic love it 😍 thank you for sharing, have a fantastic weekend x
Thanks, Linda! I'm just glad to have got another video done - off to do another one now! Cheers!
Love it, Stewart...the colors are amazing!
Thank you, Carol - delighted you love it!
Welcome back man! Your videos always inspire me to try new techniques.
Thanks, Harold. Good to be back. Have fun in your workshop. Cheers!
Nice effect. The close ups were very good. I have had a google tab open on those rotary chisels for some months now. Haven’t taken the plunge. Will be very interested if you do a video with more detail on them. Regards, Mike
Cheers, Mike. I'll see what I can do. Might be a while before I can do anything on the rotary chisel as I'm off on holiday for a few weeks. Glad you liked the effect!
A wonderful technique buddy that opens up so many avenues. Good to see you back. 👊👊👊
Cheers, Martin. Good to be back...now off to the shed to do some more!
Love your experimentation! I enjoy your videos from Oregon, USA.
Thanks, Clint! It's great to get such positive comments as this. Cheers!
A big fan, and as usual an entertaining and informative video. Another cracking bowl. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you, Rex - delighted to keep entertaining you. Cheers!
Like it, missed your videos.
My pleasure, Ann - glad you like it. Hope to have another one next weekend!
That's quite an interesting piece. I think it's not until you see it close up on the stills that you get the better view as from the normal video at times it does look part finished.
On the Gilt cream, take a look at the Liberon range, they have quite a list of different colours which may be of interest. I know with the Liberon range you can thin it down with Turps (nasty stuff as I did buy a bottle) which could give you further options on using it as more of a thinner product.
Thanks for the tip, Paul. I think I've got a liberon one somewhere at the back of a cupboard. I'll have to look it out. I know what you mean about the difference between the video and still images. I only use webcams to capture the video to show the process and rely on the stills to show what it 'really' looks like.
Excellent video Stewart, love the texturing and colour
Cheers Bram
Thank you, Bram - delighted you like this one. Cheers!
Hi Stewart. It was after watching your early video of texturing with a Proxon angle grinder that I decided to try texturing. Fortunately this technique won’t be as hard on my wallet. Keep it up.
Thank you, Frank. Yep, this could be done with a few other tools and get similar results. I'm looking forward to trying something a bit more delicate next time. Cheers!
Oh grrroooaaannnnn " felling a bit Guilty" ;)
Absolutely love the platter though :)
Take care
Mike
Hahaha...my humour too much for you???? Glad you liked the platter though - that's the important thing. Cheers!
Welcome to RUclips Stewart! lol
Really nice piece that, I'm liking the mish mash of both physical and visual textures.
Cheers, Pete.....texture on texture on texture....can you have too much of a good thing?????
Absolutely gorgeous! I’m gonna say you posted this masterpiece as a special treat for my birthday 🎁 🎂🥰 Love it!
Well, Angie, you must be right! Hope you've had a great birthday! Cheers!!
That's really effective. Like it ☺
Thank you, Stephen - sometimes simple (or as simple as I can go!) can be a nice effect....I've just come in from spraying too much colour on a platter....ahem.....never happened to me before......Cheers!!
I purchased the Rotary Chisels a few weeks ago - haven’t tried them yet. Thanks for the video. Yes, I noticed the humming of the Stars and Stripes - took it as an omen that (hopefully) perhaps you will soon visit this side of the pond and do some demos.
Cheers! I'd love to visit one day....who knows when it may happen! Have fun with your rotary chisels. I'm looking forward to my next play.
Another great video Stewart. The texturing and colour are perfectly harmonised. Love that Rotary Chisel, kind of like a router cutter that cuts in a different orientation. The 1/4" would fit in any router I'm sure, but I'm going to see if can make it fit the Arbortech. Thanks again for sharing this.
Cheers, William. It was nice to use - it's a bit more delicate than the arbortech saw blade. I'm looking forward to having another go with it.
Hello Stewart, That's an interesting texture, matching nicely with open grain of the wood. I've tried similar by dragging a diamond coated saw wheel at a slight angle but it can tend to dig in and follow its own path.
It would be interesting to see a cross grain cut and maybe the effects on staining of a 2 stage cross-hatch cut; perhaps even a spiral spin, (do you have a reverse? ). Anyway, good show. Regards, Glenn.
Thanks, Glenn - I'm sure there is a lot more I can do with the rotary chisel. You've given me some nice ideas to think about. Cheers!
If you get to much guilt cream in the grooves left from the rotary tool, try using a really soft bristle wire brush. It's saved a lot of ageing progects I've done in the past. Black with guilt cream over the top looks really effective.
Also, please don't destroy that, it would make an awesome bowl of same sort. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the tip, Glen! I'll give it go if this happens again...gulp...sorry....have already moved on to a new rim treatment on this blank...nothing lasts forever!
The rotary chisel does a grand job of texturing, which one is it, there is a 'w', round , square and 'v' profiles?
Gilt cream, in my experience, has a mind of its own, if it doesn't want to play ball it will not :)
Anyway it was a great technique and makes a very nice rim.
Thanks
James
Hi James - it's the round one, part number is 101A, I think....anyway, it was fun to use. It's been very hot here so the gilt cream was already very soft, before my heavy-handed approach!
@@stewartfurini I think it was Mick Hanbury who used Chroma gilt creams which was designed for embellishing texture but they are a US company and cannot send overseas.
Thanks for the information. Glad to see you back.
James
Hi James - yep, I've see the Chroma ones. I think they were developed by Nick Agar?? Anyway, as you say, not available in the UK. Cheers!
Loved the tip for the dremel, shame their out of my price range
Cheers, Mart - I know what you mean about price...especially with the latest sterling to dollar rates!!
I bought a cheapo one from Lidl’s
What is that angle grinder you're using? Thanks!
Hi Phil - I used a dremel with the rotary chisel - rotarychisel.com/collections/all I used a small round cutter
lovely effect. shame to remove it. the close ups are wonderfull
Cheers, Alan - the life of one of my blanks is a sad one indeed. Delighted you liked this effect though!!
Guilt cream? I can see how too much of that could present real problems. This is a nice one - don't trash it.
Thanks, David - yep, I liked this one a lot.....shame guilt cream doesn' t remove guilt...cheers!
