Cheers, Michael! I've since learned that 5v strips are available which can be powered by a small usb powerbank, so I might have to investigate further.
Oooo, oak burr (burl)! Looking forward to seeing you turn that! Love the black accent lines, they do frame the colors nicely. At one point after the purple sand-off, the camera made it look like you were playing with oak instead of ash. Was ready to tell you to hold right there!! But finished product works nicely.
Thanks, Valerie - glad you like it. I hope to do the burr/burl justice....McNaughton system should arrive tomorrow....same day as my daughter for a visit.....wonder who/what the 'winner' will be....daughter or turning....hmmm....dilemma!!! Cheers!
Stewart Furini Guessing both will win out. I have system, just got lathe to use it on. But new (used) lathe has had tailstock problem. Hope to try system soon in spite of tailstock.
Nice and subtle colouring Stewart. Now maybe you should follow Mike Waldt's idea of having a statement at the beginning of your video stating "for best effects and to see the beautiful results please view this video backwards"! Cheers Roger
Cheers Roger I wonder if most things are best watched backwards....well, I suppose my thumbnail picture always gives it away...might have to change how I do them...
I have learned to trust your color choices so I resisted the urge to yell NO! And as always another beautiful bowl. As you probably know it looked brown instead of purple until the final pictures were posted then we can see the true colors. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Holly! Yep, the orange over ther purple didn't really do it for me, so the power of sandpaper was used to get rid of most of it. The brown look didn't do it for me nearly as much as the purple!
Hmm, I really liked the purple before the orange cover, although the depth of color in the final piece was excellent. You did succeed with your goal, the grain worked well on this one. I guess I'll have to find some Ash before it all disappears from our forests and make my own. 😁
I think I preferred the purple without the orange, but still like the finished result, and the way the colour enhances the grain/figure. Looking forward to your take on the McNaughton coring system. (No wonder you were hungry - you threw half your apple away!)
Me too, Philip, so lucky I was able to sand most of it away and get back to purple. I'm looking forward to using the McNaughton system...it arrived yesterday! I can send you the half eaten apples if you're worried about the food waste? I'm sure there's a very bad coring joke here somewhere....groan....Cheers!
Cheers, Paul - yep, the figure in the wood certainly took the stain more readily than other parts of the grain. With hindsight purple may have been too dark but I like the end result.
I’ve got some McN bowl savers. Having learnt the hard way I’d advise getting some cheap timber and practice first, they do have a learning curve to get them right.
To my taste that is spot on Stewart, the colours really compliment each other and the shape is very elegant. Great video mate. Cheers Mike PS - Where did you get that spray attachment for the can please.
Thank you, Mike - glad you like it. It might even be a giveaway now I've gone over 4000 subs - hopefully it'll generate some more subscribers for me!! The attachment came from Chestnut Products - it's a nice addition to the can! Cheers!
Hi Stewart, I really love the creativity of your videos, helping me get away from round and brown. Can you explain the rationale for putting the color on and sanding it off several times? Does it allow for a more even coloring? I have seen that done when you ant to add a different color on top, but not for a re-application of the same color. Thank you so much for the time and effort it takes to do these videos!!
Cheers, Amy - glad you enjoy my videos. The idea is that it allows the more absorbent parts to take deeper coatings of the stain and so increase contrast. If the same colour got applied over itself many times, it would darken more evenly, this is why I sanded back between coats of the same colour. Cheers!
Hi Luiz - thanks for your comment! I do sell items I make, but I don't have it set up online to do so at the moment. If there's something you're interested in you can get in touch with me through me website www.stewartfuriniwoodturning.com. Prices range from £55 - £150. Cheers!
Cheers, Kevin. As my experience with turning grew, my mortices got shallower...BUT they are cut at the optimum diameter for the chuck jaws at about 3mm deep...usually! And there are no stupid questions! Cheers!!
Purple and orange - oh yes! Fab!
Cheers, Epoxy Wood! Glad you like the colour combo!
Stewart it is stunning the grain is more visible it is just awesome.
Wow - thanks, Kobie - great to get such a wonderful comment. Cheers!
The final coat of purple has a much richer colour due to the orange you put on. The black lines really go well ,& set the whole thing off. 😀 ❤️it.
Thanks, Miss Tee! I'm pleased with the end result - a simple technique, but it ended up looking very effective. Cheers!
Looks good just the way it is. Don't mess with it anymore. You are a wild man.
Cheers, William...you're probably right!!
When master S. F. is on, I watch and enjoy, and learn. Go ahead, Mr. S., make my day. Go for orange over purple. Just spot on.
Levis
Thanks, Levis! Great to hear from you again - and what a super comment to receive! Cheers!!
Very nice. Love the colours. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks, Rex! I was pleased with these colours too. Cheers!
I like the black lines accenting the orange. Really looks good.
Thanks Michael. I like the black lines too. Cheers!
Very nice Stewart. I like the colors and the enhanced grain.
Thank you, Karl. I'm pleased with this one too. Cheers!
Liking the colouring alot Stewart. I like the grain in most ash blanks. I use embellishing wax to make the soft grain 'pop'. Thank you...
Cheers, Ian! I have some embellishing waxes to play around with....one day!!
Nice piece I like how the grain transitions across the color and the bare unadorned. Love the battery pack and led strip lights. An excellent idea!
Cheers, Michael! I've since learned that 5v strips are available which can be powered by a small usb powerbank, so I might have to investigate further.
That's blooming lovely that is. :-)
Cheers Simon. Really quite pleased with this one!!
@@stewartfurini I like your little little led light. I'm surprised you don't use 5v tape / strip and a rechargeable power bank tho.
@@simonhopkins3867 pooh didn't know about 5 volt led. Will check them out as I have a power pack knocking about somewhere. Cheers!
as all ways scary, not sure then the finish photo and a master piece, keep the videos coming Stewart
Thanks Barry. Glad you like the end result. Had a gulp moment or two myself!
love the colours Stewart, I think adding the orange and then more purple added to the depth
Cheers, Wayne. Glad you like it!
Can't say I hate it. I kinda like the way the grain pops nicely done.
Thanks Glenn. It was fun to do something a bit different with colouring this week. Cheers!
Nice work Stewart...your videos inspired me to get an airbrush set up and give it a shot😎
Thanks Joe. Hope you have fun with your airbrush. Cheers!
Its turned out very nicely. I think I preferred the one coat of orange over the purple but that is easy from hindsight.
Thanks
James
Cheers, James! I went back to the purple as I liked the contrast between the two colours better. Glad you like the end result! Cheers!
I wasn't too sure when you covered it with the yellow, but it is simply gorgeous!
Thanks, Carol! I was hopeful the yellow would work well and was pleased with the end result. Cheers!

Awesome job Stewart, really like the coloring high lights the grain perfect
Thank you, Gary! I think the colours worked really well with the grain on this. Cheers!

Looks good to me Stewart nice and simple
Great video as well
Thanks, Woody! Simple works nicely on this one, I think. Cheers!
Nice piece, thank you for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice complementary / contrasting colour combo Stewart 👍👌
Thanks, Chris - I was pleased with how such a simple technique worked out. Cheers!
Nice looking bowl 👍
Thanks, Mountain View! I really like this one and the technique is very simple to do. Cheers!
Superb Stew, great video! :D
Thanks, Dave - it was fun to do and I was pleased with the end result. Cheers!
Precioso trabajo como todo lo que haces
Thank you, Manuel!!
Love it 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks, Kevin! Glad the colours work for you, too. I love it as well. Cheers!
You do make me smile. So many bowls in one! :-) :-)
The figuring is called chattoyance, from French. Kind of means - shining like cats eyes.
Thanks, Debbie - delighted to keep putting a smile on your face! Cheers!!

Nice Stewart, Must be the figure in the wood but on one side of the purple it looks like the colouring has run.
Cheers, Paul - yep, the figure in the wood certainly took the stain more readily than other parts of the grain. With hindsight purple may have been too dark but I like the end result.
Strange combination,but it does work very nicely!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks, Alan - glad I was able to get back to purple on the outer ring after the orange layer! Cheers!
Magnifique 👍🏻
Thank you, Ramdane!
very nice thank you
Thanks, Wayne - a bit restrained compared to some of the more recent colourings! Glad you like it!
Really cool! 💜
Cheers, Tracey! I liked this colour combo.
I’ve got some McN bowl savers. Having learnt the hard way I’d advise getting some cheap timber and practice first, they do have a learning curve to get them right.
Thanks for the tip, Simon - I've had a go with them in the past, but I'll be sure to practice on some more common timber first!
Those colors would really pop on an offset bowl. 👍🇺🇸
Cheers, Cortland...I'll have to give that a try!
To my taste that is spot on Stewart, the colours really compliment each other and the shape is very elegant.
Great video mate. Cheers

I love it 🥰 purple and orange are my favorite! I think that’s my piece Stew! How can I get it for my collection?
Weird...thought I'd commented on this with something like - PM me on facebook....but it looks like I goofed somehow???

Hi, greetings from Brazil! I'm a big fan, I would like to know if you sell your pieces online?
Keep up the good job!!

Amazing. I’m new to woodturning so pardon the stupid question. But how deep do you make your mortises? In your videos it looks about an 1/8” deep .
Cheers, Kevin. As my experience with turning grew, my mortices got shallower...BUT they are cut at the optimum diameter for the chuck jaws at about 3mm deep...usually! And there are no stupid questions! Cheers!!
What chestnut product was it that you put on and buffed off following the lacquer?
Hi Amy - it's Buffing Cream: chestnutproducts.co.uk/product/burnishing-cream/
Nooo! Don't put orange over the top of purple!
Oh, all right then. Maybe it isn't so bad after all.
Cheers Pete! Gotta love sandpaper for its ability to undo crazy user error!!!!
