    I would call the piece, a "winged dish". To me, a dish is a shallow bowl. This is a very decorative piece, which people might be tempted to put food on. However, some pearly marbles, or similar, stacked or otherwise arranged, might discourage the food temptation .The colour is gorgeous! The feathering is lovely! Well done, on a tricky turning!

    Still catching up on older videos...I really like this piece. The wood is interesting in grain and color, I agree the black CA just enhanced the center darkness of the wood and made it stand out as a feature. I've noticed in your winged pieces and in other turners' that something about leaving the straight edges of the end of log cuts bothers me. I think the straight ends fits this piece because there is no round "bowl" area in the center, the whole thing is gently dished on top, and the roundness in the base/foot flows better.
    Looking forward both tomore catching up and seeing what you do for the channel's TWO year anniversary.

    Very nice ... decorative platter? In any case, I had a moment of fear when the corner caught your sleeve on spin-up, because I didn't realize the "dangerous" in the title referred only to yew's toxicity. I wonder, too, if you could have cut the original stock essentially parallel to the eventual surface of the platter and thus also gotten two small matching bowls for it.

    Absolutely beautiful Mike! We don't find yew very much in Canada, but we do have a lot of eastern red cedar that rivals this grain.
    I always bring the ends up on my pieces like this, so that I have a natural edge, with sap wood showing all around the "dish". But I really like the square ends too!
    Congratulations on a year on RUclips!🥳

    Hello. Im new to turning and am finding you work interesting. Please can you tell me about the "black liquid" in the squeazy bottle, what is it and who supplies it. Regards Pete (UK)

    • @MikeHolton
      @MikeHolton  Год назад +1

      Hi Pete, sure, it's a black CA glue (superglue). I get mine from Yandles www.yandles.co.uk/tools-machines/adhesives-glues/ca-superglue/c655 . You need to use the accelerator, but not too much as it can bubble up. Don't use it on large gaps, for large gaps use a 2 part epoxy/resin or milliput. If you are unsure, give me a shout and I'll point you to the right video where I'm using the different ones. All the best. Mike

      @MikeHolton  Год назад

      It depends on how your shellac is mixed but if it's a normal mix then about 50:50 will be fine. Apply thin layers and see how it builds up
