@@SpragueWoodturning oh, I think the green is perfect as is. I think it’s really great to see how the resin opens up a whole new channel of creative possibilities.
This bowl is gorgeous! The burl has so much character. The epoxy is a pretty color and I love that it is translucent. This bowl is a winner all around. I think it is now my favorite bowl.
That has to be one of the best resin burl bowls I have ever seen turned! One of the things I like so much about your bowls compared to other wood turners is that you leave more wood on the bowls. I don't know why a lot of other wood turners make them a lot thinner
As a Canadian living abroad in Germany trying to get great English Instructional videos and being new to both wood turning and epoxy these have been great help. Your work is very inspiring, although there is a lot to take in , I hope to try my first epoxy and burl bowl soon once I have acquired all the right materials. So thanks for the details, and links.
The beauty of the grain of the wood is always king! The lightly stained resin enhances the natural beauty of the bowl and I love this very much. Your wife would have been brilliant if she claimed this bowl. The pictures taken in the snow are stunning and bring out the natural beauty. Really enjoyed watching this one.
Today is the first time I saw you working on your resin bowls. They are beautiful. I usually watch Nick Zammeti and Ben's Work and you are right there with them. Keep up the good work. Be blessed.
If this was my second project and it turned out this absolutely gorgeous, I would be jumping and screaming and running in circles with how proud I was of myself!!! You are unbelievably talented! Amazing!
Another stunning peace, but i'am honest...i do love the holes. It's authentic and it looks nice. Greetings from Gert Bouwman from the Netherlands Utrecht.
I am so impressed! By starting to use resin, you have expanded your options as far as creating. I love the light green color + pearl you chose for this resin; it was a perfect compliment to the Maple burl. This was only your second attempt at resin, and you just nailed it! Perfection. No wonder "Mama" snagged it...it is gorgeous!
Ive got to say that across all the You tube Wood turning videos ,that this is the prettiest bowl Ive seen.The light green with the light maple and the pattern of the wood is just gorgeous.Well done!
Hi... I have watched this video 3 times from start to finish and the color green is by far my favorite color combination. It is so natural looking and beautiful..
There are some real talented people out there in the world This is a thing of real beauty and I loved watching the creative process it took to get to the finished work of art
THIS one is extremely NICE !! The epoxy resin really looks like GLAS or like JADE !! Very nice !! The fact that you can also see the sides of the wood through the transparency of the resin is really beautiful. You have outdone yourself this time !! Chapeau !.
man you do some cool stuff. I did my first bowl in 1966 and its the only one I ever did, I still have it after my parents both passed on, your doing some cool; stuff, Keep up the great work
i just came across your video and I must say your work is exquisite. You are very detailed in your video which really helps to see why things are done a certain way. The final product is just breathtaking and an inspiration to what I have been wanting to take on myself. I will definitely subscribe and get some wonderful pointers from your work. I am just in love with your projects!
I think you are pretty hard on yourself. It's a very beautiful bowl! a lot of work goes into something like this!I can appreciate your effort & the end result. I'll be looking forward to your next project!
Hey Jim, GORGEOUS bowl! That’s an excellent bowl for your second round with resin! I’m certainly no expert in turning resin but, my process is sand up to 600 grit, then use an abrasive paste (I use Acks but, any would work), then use some sort of finish process. I’ve used OB Shine Juice, Acks Polishing paste, even hard bar carnauba wax. All of them work and have their place, in my opinion. I think the abrasive paste used prior to using the salad bowl finish would remove any imperfections, especially in the tight radius you were having trouble getting into. Then using your beeswax/mineral oil paste with the steel wool would help buff out any imperfections from the salad bowl finish. Anyway, plenty of experts out there that could perhaps share other tips. I just thought I’d throw in my 2 cents. Can’t wait for next weeks project! Take care! Seth
Really enjoyed watching your learning curve. Nice looking bowl though. As you say this opens endless possibilities. Enjoy the ride! 😃 Keep safe and well.👍👍
This is exquisite..it reminds me of leaves floating in water.I don’t turn.I just appreciate all forms of beautiful art..I hope your wife loves it ..She’s a lucky girl .I think this is an amazing way to use up your used pieces .The price you quoted is around about what others charge I believe..By the way some just put a couple of coats of resin on the bowls,and leave it turning while it dries .Gives a great shine too ..Stay safe ,love from the U.K. 🥰
I know this is an old video, and you said your second attempt with resin, but this is a most beautiful bowl. Love the wood and love the finish, good choice on the resin tint as well. Well done, Sir!
That was sweet! My 2 cents, don't get caught up on the swirl's just wet sand systematically all the way up to 2000 atleast, keeping it good and lubed. Then spin that polish with the drill attachment, I would not use the steel wool for the risk of the metal fragments and rust later on. I love your idea to just glow the burls! Did you pre charge the glow with a black light? Maybe extend the uv charge a little longer because it's inside the epoxy, was such a neat idea 💡 I look forward to seeing more videos thanks!
In later videos I’ve sorted out any problem that I encountered in this video. At the time I didn’t have a UV light but do now, so when you charge it under the light it does glow, next time I will add a lot more glow pigment, thanks.
Jim. Love the possibilities for this peice. I was thinking about my dining room light. A tired stain glass with lightbulbs inside. Relpacing the glass with a larger version of your bowl would make an interesting fixture. Dan
I am a new turner, and i like when the "pro turner" comments as they turn. I also appreciate when the video shows more in normal speed, as opposed to "fast forward" it certainly helps me learn. You do a lot of creative stuff and it is inspiring. Thank you for producing your videos. :-) Chris - Gainesville Georgia
@@SpragueWoodturning Flip side is that those who want a shorter video can always seek forward. Between 30 minutes to an hour seems about right as these videos feel more like 15 or twenty minutes long.
It turned out beautiful, Jim! It reminds me of an old nautical map. Great job! Your camera takes really good videos. Can you tell me what brand it is? Thank you!
Thanks! It’s actually a GoPro 7. The pictures at the end are from my iPhone 8+. I just recently bought a Sony 5100 and will be using it in upcoming videos as well. Jim.
@@SpragueWoodturning I'd love to have some of the cutoffs you have when you rounded the pieces. I'll pay for shipping to me if you have any extra little pieces.
Absolutely stunning piece of craftsmanship. The green epoxy works seamlessly with the burled wood, giving a real organic look. I would love to own one of these prized bowls. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Being British I tend to be quite reserved when it comes to showing emotion, I'm also quite quick to criticise imperfection. So I hope you can understand that when I say that this bowl could be the most beautiful piece of wood turning I've ever seen I'm not sycophantically giving praise over something mediocre. The colours just work together so nicely, the shapes suits the material incredibly well, and the ratio of wood burl to resin is perfect...... The only problem I see is that I fear you're going to have your work cut out making another wood and resin bowl that is as artistically stunning as this.
Wow, thank you so much for your kind comments! It was a fun project and I’m learning more every time I do one of theses bowls. Your right, the pressures on to make the perfect project, lol. Thanks again.
Jim what a match between the colors of the wood and resin, it goes together perfectly. For a second resin project I think this is as perfect as all you other stunningly beautiful bowls. What a fantastic job.
WOW what beautiful and precise work. It looks more than pretty darn good to me. I found your video by accident and was fascinated. I know less than nothing about woodturning but I plan to lurk and admire regularly. Thanks for an enjoyable and peaceful respite.
I was thinking that's got to be worth $400 then you said it. It's worth it, you're buying a work of art not just any old bowl. Absolutely stunning.
Couldn’t agree more, thanks!
not only that but epoxy is expensive as hell
I'm so glad you continued your work with epoxy. Your work has been gorgeous from the get-go! Excellent, Jim!
I can’t help but see the acrylic as the ocean and the wood as the land masses. It’s like some world globe.
I will do it in blue next time, thanks 🙏
@@SpragueWoodturning oh, I think the green is perfect as is.
I think it’s really great to see how the resin opens up a whole new channel of creative possibilities.

I’m with you, I like a bowl with some mass, especially one that’s this small. It has a good weight to it and it’s not fragile either! Thanks.

trying to get great English Instructional videos and being new to both wood turning and epoxy these have been great help. Your work is very inspiring, although there is a lot to take in , I hope to try my first epoxy and burl bowl soon once I have acquired all the right materials. So thanks for the details, and links.

_"I am happy with that."_ Biggest understatement of the year. *Brilliant finish, love it.*
Lol, thanks!
Really love the translucent green with the maple. It's such an interesting wood, and the translucent shows it off. A thing after beauty❤
Thank you very much!
Burls and resin, a match made in heaven!
It’s certainly a way to save those offcuts. Thanks.

Seriously - I keep coming back to this one. It has to be my favourite of yours. Just stunning!
Awesome, thanks!
Beautiful artistry - the bowl is amazing and watching you create it is so therapeutic.
Thanks Chris!
बहुत सुन्दर
Interesting to see this second bowl after seeing many of your later wood/resin pieces and how much you've learned since this bowl.
Thanks for watching
I stumbled upon this video this morning and subbed immediately. Your bowl is utter perfection, I just love it! The possibilities are endless.
Thanks for watching!
Hi... I have watched this video 3 times from start to finish and the color green is by far my favorite color combination. It is so natural looking and beautiful..
Thanks Larry!
I would treasure something like this, so thank you for letting us watch as you created it.
It was my pleasure, thanks for watching.
I lke the transparent green - seeing the burl edges is so cool
Totally, thanks!
Absolutely stunning, the amount of work involved is superb.fantastic work
Thanks 🙏
Gorgeous bowl! I love how I can see faces in the wood. That color is seriously amazing!
Great job! Bravo
Thank you so much 😀
I dearly love your videos! No BS just a lot of great information, great ideas, and beautiful bowls. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks 🙏🏻
Wood! Always! It makes the kitchen alive, warm and people at home in it 👍🏼
You got that right!
I can't believe how beautiful this bowl ended up! What an amazing job! 💜
Thanks again Tracey!

This bowl is beautiful; I love your subtle use of color and shimmer. Truly exceptional.
It does glow under a black light or UV light, I didn’t have one when I made this video but I now do, it’s actually pretty cool, thanks.
I think what you do is amazing. This is the 2nd video that I have watched and I could watch them all day. Your work is truly amazing.
Thanks Carolyn!
Love, love, love the colour combo! So happy the acrylic is translucent _ this reminds me of sea and sand
Me too!! Thanks!
From one artist to another , I just want to say, jaw dropingly gorgeous. Amazingly creative! 👏👏👏
Awesome, thank you so much!
Thank you for your detailed engagement/explanation through the entire process. Really informative, especially for me being a newbie.
Great! Thanks 🙏
I especially love your inclusive vernacular. This bowl is, I think my personal favorite.
Thank you very much!
Gorgeous finish, Jim. Nice to see the burl bits get a new life!
It always made me a little sick to through theses pieces in the wood stove, now I can save them! Thanks.
That bowl is well worth $400. It is a piece of art. I would pay that in a heartbeat, air bubble makes no negative difference.
Thanks 😊
It’s a scientific fact most left handed people are artistic, beautiful work, greetings from Ireland.
Correct! I’ve also seen a lot of actors being left handed as well, Jim.
THIS one is extremely NICE !!
The epoxy resin really looks like GLAS or like JADE !!
Very nice !!
The fact that you can also see the sides of the wood through the transparency of the resin is really beautiful. You have outdone yourself this time !! Chapeau !.
Thanks from the others side of the river!
This bowl is absolutely stunning. It is worth the $400 price you casually mentioned.
Thanks Scott!
a pleasure to watch an artist at work, stunning, absolutely stunning
Thanks 🙏
I think you’ve knocked it off this time Jim, looks absolutely spot on keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Thanks, I really like this style of bowl with resin, I plan on making more!

Maple burl is beautiful. So glad you kept your resin so light as I intensely dislike dark colours with such lovely wood. Very nice bowl.
Agreed, I went too heavy on the color last week.
Ain't that beautiful!... looks like Continents floating around the sea - was that what you had in mind when you conceived of it ?
