What ever you create it’s a marvel to me. Again I watch your videos over and over and still impressed. I try very hard to do the same but there yet. Thank you for your wonderful well description/ presentation of your your work. Of course when you do it, it doesn’t look so difficult!! Ha!
That is a gorgeous bowl. Would not have expected poplar to turn so well and have such beauty. Thanks for great work. Really appreciate you looking at different finishes.
What an amazing box! The wood is gorgeous and your design and finish make it one gorgeous work of art! The bowls is yet another amazing work of art. What a blessing to the winner! Thanks for sharing your talents, Jim!
We have a lot of Poplar here in central Virginia. I have experienced such a wide range of grain and color with Poplar that I always enjoy turning it. Beautiful wood and once again a great job!
Stunning bowl. The figure is beyond beautiful. The soapstone really complements it. I learned a lot (as always): cellulose sanding sealer, abrasive paste, Shellawax, ... Great technique, thanks, Jim.
Yes, it is definitely a lovely piece! The richness, and colour of the grain invite one to reach out and touch, no, caress it! Thank you for allowing us the joy of seeing this piece!
Fabulous lidded box Jim, the figure is really amazing. I agree with the lid knob, keep it simple and plain. 👍 I use cellulose sanding sealer which I get prethinned from Hampshire Sheen. If I get anybody else's I thin by up to 40% with a thinner. Regards the Yorkshire grit, I apply it more liberally and work it in slow, about 300rpm until the gritiness is gone. Then take the speed up to 550 rpm for a minute or two, then start to take it off with clean cloth/kitchen towel at 800 rpm until I can't see any on the towel. Disclaimer, this is just how I do it. 😀
Stunning bowl, Jim. I’d have made a smaller finial but my boss (wife) happened to see the vid and told me I was simply wrong and you were right... the colour is beautiful so the sanding sealer does it for me here. So that is the definitive judgment - a gorgeous bowl with a superbly tasteful finial. Thanks! Hugh
Very nice looking piece. I absolutely love turning poplar, I know it’s not the classiest wood, but it’s plentiful the grain and colors can be absolutely beautiful. But as any wood you need to make sure your tools are sharp.
Hi Jim, Love that Poplar lidded bowl. I am from Yorkshire so always use Yorkshire Grit. There is an excellent 2nd product to use called Yorkshire Grit polish. The finish is very good. Looking forward to your next project. Chris
Another beautiful project! Great woods, too. Love how they have similar grains. You have such a strong shaping sense! Glad to hear the poplar story. In Iowa, we use poplars for wind breaks. They grow tall, skinny, and fast but don’t seem to live long. Your poplar must have been royalty.
As a photographer, I fully appreciate the better camera quality, and I love how it brings out the details in something you love. I also love the passion with which you talk about different woods. Something that never crossed my mind!
I really like the way you fit the lid with the slight reveal. I don’t normally do that but will give it a go. Could be the beautiful character of the wood that makes it work so well. Great piece!
Very nice container! I do thin my sealer 50/50. I also found that the blue shop towels will transfer the color to your work. I have changed to white only and no longer have that problem.
Thanks, Jim, for your generosity in covering all the details of your work, this is what makes a great video. Lovely result and letting the grain take the credit for your craftsmanship. Regards from Poole England
I love the figure in that wood. My husband built me freezer kiln after watching your videos. It works great! Thanks for the tips. I tried friction polish on a small lidded box for the first time. It was really smooth. I have only turned 5 bowls so I have a lot to learn. I enjoy your videos.
Gorgeous wood! The figure is fantastic! I have watched a ton of turners use the sealer and none of them have said they cut it at all. Don't forget you need to sand the surface after you apply it. The friction pastes are great.
Hi Jim, Lovely pot! The Yorkshire grit has mineral oil and wax in and is usually not used before oil finish although I have seen people clean the wax off with denatured alcohol before oiling.
Jim this is amazing wood the grain is stunningly beautiful. On the inside of the bowl I saw the shape of a nose and lips of a child. Fantastic work wow.

Beautiful lidded pot, Jim. The colors in the poplar are so awesome. I love your videos. You are a magnificent woodworker! ❤🙃
Thanks 😊
Nice work, glad you are branching out with new turnings
I’ve been doing these for years, just don’t do a lot of them , thanks 🙏
The grain on this bowl is absolutely perfect!
Thanks so much!
My wife and I both loved that vessel. I wish I could buy it. Even your mistakes turn out out gorgeous.
Thanks 🙏

Thanks, it turned out nice!
We have a lot of Poplar here in central Virginia. I have experienced such a wide range of grain and color with Poplar that I always enjoy turning it. Beautiful wood and once again a great job!
Thanks Joel! I don’t usually turn it unless I see lots of big limbs, then I know there will be lots of nice grain.
Stunning bowl. The figure is beyond beautiful. The soapstone really complements it. I learned a lot (as always): cellulose sanding sealer, abrasive paste, Shellawax, ... Great technique, thanks, Jim.
Awesome, thanks!

Great look box. Nice job and I love the grain of the wood.
It sure is pretty! Thanks.
I didn’t know that poplar had such gorgeous grain. That is an amazing bowl. I’ve learned a great deal about this wood.
Your not going to find very many pieces like this. Thanks
What a pretty little bowl. The woodgrain is beautiful, and I love the shape. It's strange watching an older video without any resin.❤❤
Lol. Thank you very much!
I really like this box allot. The crotch wood grain is awesome. I like the contrasting wood of the finial too.
Thanks!
Great box Jim. I sure like the colour in the wood.
Thanks Jack!
Really sweet project this week thanks till next time stay safe
Thanks Tony!
Very nice! Love that grain.
Thanks John!
Nice piece, poplar can be interesting I agree. Nice job noticing the grain character. Love Yorkshire grit and their fine polish. Stay safe...
It sure can be for a junk wood species, thanks.
Very unexpected for wood grain for popular, another excellent job absolute perfection.
Poplar will surprise you sometimes, thanks
Amazing grain pattern, Fantastic Piece 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 🙏

Tons of figure! Thanks.
Poplar, I dont believe it, that turned out fantastic!
I’ve still got a few special pieces to make yet, thanks
That's one of the most beautiful grain I've seen so far. The bowl is fabulous.
Not bad for popular eh? Nicest tree I ever got! Thanks

Thanks mamma knows best, my wife hates the finial, lol. Just goes to show, we all like different things.

Hi Jim,
Love that Poplar lidded bowl. I am from Yorkshire so always use Yorkshire Grit. There is an excellent 2nd product to use called Yorkshire Grit polish.
The finish is very good.
Looking forward to your next project.
Chris
I use the Microfine grit in this weeks video, thanks.
Jim, first time commenting just letting you know you are quite a craftsman enjoy your video's keep up the good work!
Thanks Ric!
Perfect timing, popular fell in yard, will burn most but kept all crotches for turning. Great idea
Give it a try, you got nothing to loose but time, lol.
As always a beautiful box and informative video
Thanks 🙏
Excellent work. Really enjoyed your video. Well turned and well done!
Thanks Joseph!
Stunning piece of timber
Thanks 🙏
The grain is absolutely gorgeous! I love that little bowl. It reminds me of a pumpkin.
Thank you very much!
as always beautiful just a gorgeous grain and finish
Thanks 😊
Another beautiful project! Great woods, too. Love how they have similar grains. You have such a strong shaping sense! Glad to hear the poplar story. In Iowa, we use poplars for wind breaks. They grow tall, skinny, and fast but don’t seem to live long. Your poplar must have been royalty.
It was an incredible tree! Thanks
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful
Thanks 🙏
Well done, Jim. Best looking Poplar I've seen yet.
Thanks 🙏
Man, that is gorgeous grain, good job
Pretty nice for a weed species, thanks!
Absolutely beautiful piece Jim.
I have never seen popular looking like that. Absolutely stunning.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks Carl!
Great vessel Jim!
Its a tad soft, but I think poplar is a very underrated wood. It can be gorgeous!
Thanks for sharing!
Seth
It certainly can, thanks Seth
Beautiful piece. And I think the top is just right . It doesn’t overpower the rest of the box. Subscribed 👍
Awesome thanks!
I love this lidded vessel.
Thanks Auntie.
Beautiful wood, nice design.
Thank you very much!
As a photographer, I fully appreciate the better camera quality, and I love how it brings out the details in something you love.
I also love the passion with which you talk about different woods. Something that never crossed my mind!
I keep improving my camera skills with each video, or at least I try to, lol. Thanks 🙏
Absolutely beautiful bowl! I prefer more color to enhance the wood, yet this is a wonderful example of inlays!!
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
beautiful grain in that wood
Some of the stuff that tree produce was amazing, thanks 🙏
This is awesome Jim!!
Thanks 🙏
Beautiful color and shape
It’s a beauty! Thanks.
You made a Poplar bowl look like an acorn. Cool!
Lol 😝 thanks
I really like the way you fit the lid with the slight reveal. I don’t normally do that but will give it a go. Could be the beautiful character of the wood that makes it work so well. Great piece!
It adds another visual line and yes, that crotch grain really pops! Thanks
Belle vidéo et présentation de différents petits imprévu possible
Super
Merci, 🙏
Very beautiful! Good luck!
Thanks 🙏
Beautiful Jim, good to see you using the yorkshire grit.
I thought I would give it a go, so far I’m pleased with it, thanks.
Love your use of soapstone inlay. Very attractive and a refreshing change from epoxy.
Tons of natural inlay videos on my channel, check them out, thanks 🙏
Beautiful wood grain! I just finished my first lidded bowl. Made from ash with a walnut finial. I use Ack’s abrasive paste on everything.
Thanks for watching
Jim, this is covered bowl is very nice! It was great to see another inlay project! The grain in the wood is gorgeous!
Thanks K
Very nice container! I do thin my sealer 50/50. I also found that the blue shop towels will transfer the color to your work. I have changed to white only and no longer have that problem.
Great tip, thanks.
It's amazing how perfect the nature of the tree is ...
And how it unfolds when it falls into the hands of a master of such a high level.
Thank you!
Good looking box!! Still waiting on my bowl!! Lol
Thanks Chris! Getting close!
👍Great job.
Thank you for your video.
Thanks 🙏
Really nice job jim.that's a beautiful piece w so much grain.I've burnt a ton of poplar.but I'll be looking closer from on.super box .
There can be beauty in all woods, just look for them crotches, lol.
Nice to see the different finishes in action Jim. It is beautiful by the way!!
Thanks 🙏
Nice looking container
Thanks 🙏
Thanks, Jim, for your generosity in covering all the details of your work, this is what makes a great video. Lovely result and letting the grain take the credit for your craftsmanship. Regards from Poole England
Thanks Brian!
Yes there is awesome chatoyance in the wood it really has a fire in its belly.
There sure is, thanks!
You have made me change my mind on poplar. I was never a fan of it but wow! That figure! Beautiful work.
Look for those big limbs! Thanks.
Beautiful. Love the wood and the finish. The soapstone adds a nice touch. Thanks for the vids.
Thanks, soapstone makes everything better, lol.
i love that piece very much!nice job!
Thanks 🙏
I love the figure in that wood. My husband built me freezer kiln after watching your videos. It works great! Thanks for the tips. I tried friction polish on a small lidded box for the first time. It was really smooth. I have only turned 5 bowls so I have a lot to learn. I enjoy your videos.
Great! The two kilns of got never shut off, thanks.
I am getting ready to cut one of my poplar trees down. I will definitely try to make a bowl like this one.
Good stuff, this came from a crotch section, thanks
Gorgeous wood! The figure is fantastic! I have watched a ton of turners use the sealer and none of them have said they cut it at all. Don't forget you need to sand the surface after you apply it. The friction pastes are great.
Since this video was shot I’ve found out most do cut it 50/50.
That Poplar grain is just beautiful! Love the container/box!
Thanks 🙏
I have been watching this channel alot . Very talented .
Would like to try it sometime.
Thanks Ricky!
For some reason this video never made it to my play list..
Looks great!
Hum, don’t know? Thanks for watching tho!
Hi Jim, Lovely pot! The Yorkshire grit has mineral oil and wax in and is usually not used before oil finish although I have seen people clean the wax off with denatured alcohol before oiling.
The literature that came with the can said any choice of finish can be applied over the grit. The wood bowl finish worked just fine 🤷♂️, thanks.
very nice Jim,have lots that up here,popular,will check out,great job
Thanks for watching
Love it! The Shatoyance is just stunning!
It’s a beaut! Thanks
Beautiful work.
Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful.
Thanks Jean!
Love your presentation with all the details. Very professional!! Beautiful lidded box!!
Thanks!
Love the grain. It's pretty.
It sure is, thanks 🙏
Absolutely Beautiful Jim!!
Thanks 🙏
That wood is beautiful - wow
Thank you very much!
Beautiful work Jim. Thank you for sharing and educating!
No problem Kevin, thanks.
Jim this is amazing wood the grain is stunningly beautiful. On the inside of the bowl I saw the shape of a nose and lips of a child. Fantastic work wow.
Thanks Kobie!
That’s fabulous!!! Love the size and profile of that. For me the finial is a bit too dark but it’s all beautiful!
Thank you so much!
