It is always difficult to come up with something new to do with bowls, but with this bowl, you created something new and unique that turned out wonderful. And yes, probably due to the different hardness of the wood and epoxy, you experienced the sanding issues, but unless you were looking for that, nobody would ever know. A very fine bowl that has me wanting to explore trying something similar. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much Stephen! I'm hoping that maybe if I stabilize them with some Cactus Juice, I will be able sand them to the same level since they should be the same hardness. Stay tuned. Have a blessed day! - Ed
Beautiful! The stark contrast of the black resin really magnifies the beauty of the natural grain of the wood! Magnificent! Now do one with white resin and have a pair of show pieces!
Hi Ed, Beautiful,and also in my top 5 of things you have turned. I agree with you about the different hardnesses causing the "Bumps". Take care Ed. Cheers, Huw
I have watched this video several times, each time learning something new. Time to try one myself. The silicon cake mold looks like a great idea for a mold. Thanks for the idea and inspiration!
Thank you Daryl! It also makes a great whoops pan for molds that leak in the pressure pot. It's easier to clean it out of the mold than the bottom of the pressure pot. ha ha - Ed
I believe you are on track about the hardness of the different woods. I have had the same problem in projects of mine where I used multiple kinds of wood. The softer woods wood become lower than the harder woods and no matter how hard I tried to just level them out the hard wood always was raised and I could feel the difference.
Looks good Ed. My wife popped in, saw this, and now wants me to make one. I guess I'll have to get my shop finished and start turning again. Enjoyed as always, Dave.
Thank you Dave! I'd love to see it once you make it. Is your shop in between projects or building it out? My shop seems to be always in transition. I'm hoping to get it semi-finished soon and do a shop tour. - Ed
Looking forward to the shop tour. Short story long is that my father (at 86) always wanted a lathe so we got him one. I started watching turning video's, such as your, so I could help him. About a year later he decided he didn't want it and gave it to me. I ended up building a 10'x12' shed/ shop in my backyard just so I would have a place to set it up. It's amazing how much a $300 lathe can cost you in the long run. LOL. At this time the shell is more or less built and I have power and lighting. Now the fun of building storage and work surfaces for all my tools. Sorry for being so long winded. Have a good night, Dave.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I think this shallow bowl/deep platter is my favourite of everything you've made so far. Love your channel keep up the good work. Stay safe💙
Thank you very much Bill! I may try to do it in blue resin next time to see how it looks. I really like the contrast of the black resin though. Always an experiment. Ha ha. Have a blessed day! - Ed
Beautiful, the black resin wad a good choice I think. Fantastic grains and warmth of colours I really like it Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed your video
WOW!!! That’s gorgeous, Ed. I can’t wait to try working with resin. Still waiting for my pressure pot. This pandemic has slowed everything down to a crawl. Thanks for the inspiration! 👍👍👍👍
Thank you and definitely give it a go! I'd love to see what you make. Please consider sharing it on my website and I'll add it to the Viewer's Project section of my website. - Ed
Hi, first video from you that I watched. I really like how you describe what you are doing in each step. I also loved the shallow bowl/deep platter. Great idea.
Thank you! I'm going to try drying them out in the oven and then stabilizing them in Cactus Juice next time to see if that helps. Have a blessed day! - Ed
I never heard of Sissoo so I looked it up - rarely imported? - softest of the rosewoods - Indian Rosewood. It is a beautiful wood and you used it to make a beautifully inspired bowl Ed🏆 Good on you! Stay safe. -Mike
Thank you very much! Sissoo is very plentiful here in Arizona. I have a bunch of logs from my neighbor who took down two huge Sissoo trees. Have a blessed day! - Ed
Al thats brilliant you did a great job with it and by the sounds of the turning it was a real pain You have got to do another one of these and maybe use less colour so you can see light through it
Thank you very much! You've given me a great idea. I've just processed some mesquite logs which are very curvy. I also have some sticks that I've picked up in the desert. I'm thinking the two woods with some ocean blue colored resin would look fantastic. The blue resin would be translucent and you'd be able to see the sticks in the river. I'm super excited to give that a try. - Ed
Thank you Billy! I don't mind at all. Please consider sharing it on my website when you do. I have a section where I show what my subscribers make. - Ed
Hi Ed! I think you're being too hard on yourself, this bowl looks great! I believe I saw on your channel another piece you made with wood + black resin, I really like this combination! I never worked with resin myself, so I don't really know how it turns out at the end. Since you asked for project ideas, I have one I'm thinking on doing myself, but it would be awesome to see you making it (if possible, of course): why don't you try making a lamp with wood and resin, turned on the lathe? I think it's a good study of which light to use with a specific combination of resin colours. What do you think?
Thank you Eric and I think you have an excellent idea! I have it written in my idea notebook and put your name beside it for the idea. Have a blessed day! - Ed
Hi there. Nice vid. I do have a question about your band saw. The 10" WEN shown at 0:06. What is the thickest piece of wood you can cut with it? I'm new to band saws and the way I understand it, when you see 10" 12" in the descriptions or what ever, it's really talking about the wheel size up top and bottom. I'll be using my just to cut corners off of logs that I cut in half with my chainsaw, but I want a band saw to minimize that turning of air... ;) I really really like that bowl/platter. Nice contrast in it too. Poly Urethane it to get rid of the ridges ?
Thank you Phillip! The way they advertise the bandsaw has been so confusing to me. I look in the descriptions for the resaw height. I've never had issues with the other measurements. I just replaced that Wen 10" bandsaw with a 14" Rikon one. I needed something to break down all of the logs I have. I've already cut one log in half with the stock blade and it went through it like butter. I also wanted something that had a pretty decent resaw height to be able to resaw some thicker stock to make book matched pairs for a jewelry box. I hope that helped Phillip. - Ed
@@WolfRidgeWoodworking Appreciate the info. That's what I really need to pay attention to. The distance from the bed to the guide bearings... I want to at the very least be able to put a 8" "Thick" piece of wood in there to cut those corners off. Appreciate it.
Thank you for watching! I use a 5 gallon California Air Tools pressure pot (amzn.to/2Z6h3Fp). That's an affiliate link, but doesn't cost you any more. It holds a seal for a very long time and is plenty big for everything I can do. - Ed

Thank you Gayle! Most resins are not considered food safe, but you I've seen people making wood and resin charcuterie boards. I think that I would personally feel safe using it that way, but I wouldn't put liquids in it. I hope that helps. - Ed
Watching this again, there was a chemical reaction between the denatured alcohol and the fruit tree pieces. Did you notice how they turned bright yellow after they were wiped with the alcohol? Well, apparently they were alive and the denatured alcohol killed them....hence their turning yellow.
I did not notice that Morgan. They were pretty dry as I’ve had them a couple of years and it doesn’t take long for wood to dry out here in Phoenix with such low humidity. Thank you for watching! - Ed
The flat bowl looks awesome! But: I am worrying a bit about you, Ed. Is everything okay? You skip the part where you are talking about the project, you are using black resin and the music - especially in thr beginning - has a kind of deep sadness inside. I really hope, that you are okay... (Maybe it is only me feeling this, because I am "not okay today" and that everything is alright with you. That is, what I am wishing you.)
Thank you Chris! I'm good. I was just too excited during this video and talked way too much. I decided to save everyone from my ramblings and just go with the music and machine sounds. I'm available if you need someone to listen. My email is edlparker3@gmail.com if you want to reach out and we can exchange numbers. I don't know what you're going through, but sometimes it's just good to have someone to vent or talk to. - Ed
@@WolfRidgeWoodworking That's really very, very kind of you! I am having my family around at that is great. It is just one of these days I don't really want to do a thing and prefer to stay in bed until this "darkness inside my mind" disappears. Please keep on going with what you are doing here, your videos always help me.
Black resin nicely shows off the character of each piece of wood. Not a bowl you would get tired of looking at!
Thank you Valerie! There are so many things to see in it and I agree, you would never get tired of it. - Ed

Thank you very much Andy! - Ed
I really like the contrast between the woods and resin 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Douglas! - Ed
I really liked this project. We have some live edge walnut and beech branches that would work well together like this. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you! I think this would look good even without the wood in the river. - Ed
Another excellent project and great finish thank you.🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you very much Richard! - Ed
Love the use of the silicone pan for the mold!! We'll be doing that!! Beautiful bowl!!
Thank you Gayle! I'm very happy with how easy it is to demold things cast in it. - Ed
Ed what an awesome and amazing bowl stunningly beautiful.
Thank you very much Kobie! - Ed

Thank you Jana! - Ed
I really like the way it turned out. I look forward to trying it.
Thank you Rick! - Ed
Great peice of work, and yes l have found hard and soft woods next to each other never cut and sand the same.
Thank you Michael! That's what I'm starting to understand too. - Ed
Beautiful! The stark contrast of the black resin really magnifies the beauty of the natural grain of the wood! Magnificent!
Now do one with white resin and have a pair of show pieces!
Thank you George and I like the idea of white resin maybe with some micro dust to give it kind of a mother of pearl look. Have blessed day! - Ed
Spectacular turn! Love it
Thank you! It is one of my favorite pieces. - Ed
Stunning, happy fathers day
Thank you Donald! I pray you are well and health! - Ed
That's an awesome looking piece, Ed!

Wolf Ridge Woodworking Awesome! Keep up the great work!
Beautiful working, watched many river table, today, watch a river bowl,😄 thank you,👍👍👍
Thank you so much! I have a couple of slabs that I would love to turn into a river table. I'll need a lot more resin for that one. ha ha - Ed
