Great looking maple bowl
Mountain View Turning Thank you. It was a great piece of wood to work with. Cheers!
Very nice work! Thanks for sharing your talents.
We call this type of Maple, Tiger Maple here in America. A very pleasing piece of wood to use on turned bowls, gunstocks, furniture etc.
Cheers, Keith - it was a nice piece of wood to use, for sure!
Beautiful
Thanks, Steve!
Thank you are daughter is 2yrs cancer free
That is very good news, indeed, Lisa!
Well Stewart, what can I say. To my way of thinking you have combined the beauty of the wood's natural ripple with subtle colours. That was a master class in the use of colour to enhance nature.
The colour scheme took me all the way back to the mid to late 1960s, I remember back then my wife having a dress using those colours. Thank goodness you have grown out of splattering, as you age you will get into dribbling!
Roger & out
I think the dribbling will be arriving sooner than I'd like! Thanks for the good laugh, Roger. I'm starting to work through wood that I've been given - a few pieces to go before I get to that lovely African wood, but it's coming! Glad you liked this one. Cheers!!
It turned out great. I like all of it. The shape, the color and the finish.
William Ellis Thank you William...glad you like it. Cheers!
Very nice Stewart
Thanks, Chris - would love to get some more of this to turn.
Another masterpiece! Rolling the top really gives you the sun illusion. I love the auction for cancer cause. Such a kind man Stew 🥰 I hope it raises tons of money and inspires others to do kind things as well 🤗
@RedHead Hippie WoodTurning. What happened to your videos?
Thank you, Angie - seemed the right thing to do as the wood was given to me and a close friend is having continued treatment for leukaemeia. Cheers, Stewart.
Very nice result. The colouring is excellent and I love the line around the edge of the bowl. I think, at this time of the year when its damp,, lacqering tends to be 'blooming' awful but the microcrystaline wax gave an excellent shine. As a matter of interest I tried some car lacquer, using zn A1 filter, it gave a glass like shine but got through the filter and it left me gasping for for a few days.
Thanks
James
Cheers, James - this was a lovely piece of wood to work on, and it sold for £53 so a nice sum to donate to cancer research. My experiences with lacquer have been pretty much limited to chestnut products and Hycote, which is a car lacquer in a spray can - certainly the air smells more when I've used the Hycote...
I have to say stewart I am a natural wood man, however, when I do pyrography I do like to add colour to my pieces were possible. I therefore understand your love of colour and I must say you do it well, great work.
Thank you, Peter - glad you can appreciate the colour on this one (it would have looked pretty spectacular without colouring as well, probably...!) Cheers!!
@@stewartfurini Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and in this case all who appreciate top class workmanship.
Cool piece Stewart...sooner or platter I've got to try some of your designs ...too much fun😃😎
Cheers Joe. Hope you try one out soon and send me a picture. Thanks again.
Love it as normal. Thank you for sharing. I particularly enjoy the gentile crown. The color and the decision to keep the rim large to share the ripple was a great design decision. Thank you.
Cheers, Micheal - thanks for you comment. Much appreciated!
We call it curly maple over here and I have used black to pop the curly grain but never dye then sand and use a lighter dye to finish with. Thank you so much for the video, I learned something new. PS I think it should raise more than a few pounds.
Cheers, James - I'll try to call it curly maple from now on....hope it does well and raises a good sum. Thanks for commenting!
@@stewartfurini Oh no that is just what we call it. It didn't come out the way that I meant it. Rippled is just fine lol.
@@jamestempleton5277 I didn't take it any other way, James! Cheers....up to £43 so far....
Gorgeous color and shape! I love the way this TURNED out! lol....
Sigh... I'll see myself out....
Hahaha...thanks, David - gorgeous piece of wood to work with.
Colour away good sir!
Thanks, J!
Hi Stewart, The stains really did bring out the ripple. I have done any colouring like this yet but will watch a few more of your videos before giving it a go. Thanks for the inspiration. Cheers, Huw
My pleasure, Huw - glad you are enjoying the videos! Cheers!
Awesome looking platter - love the colors.
Thanks, George! Glad you like it - cheers!
Beautiful piece! Like the shine.
Thansks, Robato!
Wow, nice piece Stuart, beautiful!!
Thanks, Jordan! Delighted you like it!
Absolutely Beautiful Stuart! I certainly hope it does well at auction... I may even bid on it myself!
Cheers, Steve - if you do bid, good luck!!
Thank You Stuart, I’m currently the highest bidder😊
Very well done. Somehow, as soon as I saw the rippled (tiger, here in the States) maple, I knew the orange would be coming out. 😄 I'm torn as to whether the yellow improved it or not. Perhaps your friend will get you another blank to make the comparison.
Thanks, Bill....watching it back, I think the camera didn't film the first coat of yellow so it looks like I'm putting yellow over orange, but in fact it was a coat of yellow that went on off camera but wasn't deep enough for me. That said, I think it's a great idea for Phil to give me another piece to play with!
Looks great. I'm glad you left the he buildup of stain around the bowl rim.
Thanks, Simon - glad you like you like the end result!
Wonderful play with colors on the rippled maple. Do you have a different shop now compared to this video from ages ago? I do enjoy watching you play in your workshop Stewart. Thanks for sharing your creativity with me again. Stay safe, Vickie
Thanks, Vickie - same shop....slightly different layout....and just the Vicmarc lathe now....sold the Wivamac
Watching a video of someone reading - now that's entertainment!
Hahaha....yeah, I wondered how long to keep that shot!!!
Lovely piece, it's definitely wax finish weather no lacquer till next summer. Good luck with the Auction. Regards, wooddude.co.uk
Cheers, Woody!
“Lemon Lifesaver” (without a through hole).. Hope it brings top dollar for the cancer fund raiser.
Thanks, Valerie - fingers crossed!
Stewart, this project matches your personality somewhat. Your kinda a Ripplely guy yourself. Your unrestrained in your approach to your projects and that’s what I like about your work. Good job
Haha. Thanks Tom. I do love just going for it! Cheers!!
i think the platters look better when the top is concaved and not flat,...... nice platter ;)
Thanks, gobble degook....curves beat flats always!
What kinds of stains are you using for the great colors. They appear to be dye type stains but a bit thicker.
Thanks, Steve. I used Chestnut Products Spirit Stains - red, orange and yellow. Cheers!
