Thanks for the fantastic work. I am thrilled at your approach to concentrating on the finishing aspect. Most videos just say “apply finish and let it dry and your done”. This is great for those of us who are only hobby turners. Thank you. I realize this is an old video but it still applies
Thanks for you kind feedback. Finishing is so important, yet so many people try to cut corners with it, concentrating on the actual turning.
Thank you Martin for a very interesting video. When I began turning a few years ago I could never imagine colouring wood but I've had a little go at it and it can be a really satisfying and pleasurable experience.
Your bowl is just beautiful.
It's very sensible to wear rubber gloves as the colours are virtually indelible on human skin. Can you imagine asking a beautiful lady out for an evening as she says "why are all your fingers coloured orange, red and green with a touch of blue?"
Happy turning,
Alan.
Great demonstration of you colouring techniques Martin, lots of tips to experiment with. Thank you. that bowl looks gorgeous now, looking forward to seeing it finished.
Take care
Mike
Great video Martin and a gorgeous looking bowl, I know a lot of people don't think wood should be coloured but I think in can really add to a piece and does have a place in turning!!...
Love the new format, keep up the good work. Trev
Nice bowl. I like the only finishing focus video. Keep the videos coming and thanks for sharing.
Nice work Martin, look forward to watching the bowls progress.
I really like that you paint your pieces, very nice!
Martin,
That is a beautiful bowl. I enjoyed the technic used in coloring. Thank you for sharing with us.

I like your new format! Although I do request that, occasionally, you include a complete turning vid. Whilst not a big fan of colored work I think that this test piece will be an interesting watch as it dries out.
Hi Martin, Well, I wasn't too keen on it when you were applying the colours,but as soon as you hit it with the oil,I loved it! Nice format on the video too. I hope you enjoyed your visit to Axminster,I was there a couple of weeks ago,and couldn't stop drooling over all the things I want,which is pretty much everything in there!
Keep up the good work,
Keith.
***** I was at the original one,in Axminster. I remember going there about 35 years ago with my Dad,when it was just a pokey little hardware shop! How things change :)
Thanks for the video with colouring techniques.
You are most welcome. Colouring techniques are covered in more recent videos, too.
All the best,
Martin
Thanks for your videos, Martin. I've only stumbled across them fairly recently but am enjoying them immensely. I admire your sense of adventure and willingness to experiment with different mediums, techniques, and styles.
I liked the idea of the coffee grains to highlight the rings but I did wonder whether putting glue in the rings first, then coffee, then more glue may have helped to prevent the flaking.
Please do throw in an occasional video of the turning as well. I do enjoy that.
Keep them coming, mate. Cheers.
Interesting video Martin. I try to avoid using paper towel as it soaks up the precious stain. Try small bits of sponge and reuse them for the same colours!
cheers
Tom
Very nice .. Someday I will get there. Tks. for a great video
That bowl is really attractive. I was a bit out of my depth while you were adding the colours because I'm colourblind and don't understand the relationships between colours and why you use certain ones but, when they were all blended, I really liked the effect. I bought a set of spirit dyes so I'm going to have a go at this. I'll probably end up with something a 2 year old would do.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
wonderful job Martin on that bowl.
Hi Daniel. Thank you. Much appreciated.
All the best,
Martin
I loved that Martin. I will be having a go for sure at some point. It will be interesting to see how the bowl moves over the weeks.
Just a comment on the video, I found the quick cuts to black a little disconcerting. I thought my Internet had died ;)
nice job Martin should be interesting to see how it look in a few weeks especially if it moves much
Simply excellent Marin, reminds me of the second video by you that I've seen (first was your Christmas entry...), I should really find some good dye instead of trying out kiddy stuff with food coloring, if I ever want to play with the big boys.
Thanks for sharing!!
chestnut rainbow range is listed in two shops in Italy, both of them are out of stock for the past two years, so no help there, I just might order it from the UK, as I always do in the end...
***** Yeah, I think Mike told me a couple of year ago about the sample pack, I'll have to order me one (or two) when I get back, wouldn't want to not be here when it comes, we don't have much luck with packages here, the postman thinks it's quite alright to just throw packages over the front gate and hope the dogs won't eat it...
Thank you
Martin,
The new format is great and the bowl looks fantastic. For the uninitiated what is the dye you used, I'll have to try and get an Oz equivalent.
Cheers
Johnny
Thank you Martin. Very informative and instructive. This will be my next step. A question if you don't mind. When you apply the Danish oil to the piece, will that not restart the dye? And when you rub it in I would have thought that might have smeared the whole piece. Would it do that with a water born stains.? Thank you.
Turned out really well Martin, format and editing coming along nicely too. Would it be possible to highlight your makers mark with the pyrography pen for a more consistent line? just wondered, its another thing that I haven't got around to trying yet but its on the list. cheers. Dave
What amazing work! I love the color. I’ve noticed issues when trying to add color after I’ve applied dyes. Seems difficult to add color on already dyed wood without losing the base color and smearing. Any tips? Thanks again!
Martin, nice job, very colorful. You probably mentioned it but I don't recall what coloring agent you applied. Ink, stain?
That is fantastic I have a question I Santa my bowls to 1200 grit and wash them down with alcohol and then sand again than put my water stain on the problem is it raises the grain real bad does that happen to you
Hi Martin! Thanks for sharing this technique mate! I never tried colouring and it seems like something you might want to do when the piece of wood is sort of not that attractive to enhance it with the color. What type of coloring did you use (I am mixing english and american LOL, color, colour...)? I got to get me also a pyrography pen to sign my pieces. So far I have been doing three grove in the mortise and then burn them with a coffee stirrer. Cheers my friend! Daniel
***** Thank you again! Cheers! Daniel
***** ***** One item I made years ago after buying in a range of wood dye samples, again from Chestnut products, Was a swatch. I bought in a quantity of sycamore square round cornered coasters from Dalecraft at the time, and dyed one for every dye sample I had, after pyroing in the name of the dye, ie old Oak, Teak etc. Drilled a corner on each and strung them together with some leather thong.
Its a good item (the swatch) for looking at a finish when making deicisions on a colour,Dye,woodtain whatever, one just holds the swatch next to the item and decide on the best one suited for the item burned, or in your case turned. If I had a pic on this pute I would send it you, but I think I may have one on my lappy. If so I will get it to you via Goo+ or whatever.
what are the brand of stains or dies you use nice job
