Since I started making these videos in 2017, I have been lucky enough to receive the support of some manufacturers with materials to use in my videos. Since May 2018, Chestnut Products have provided me with stains, an iridescent paints sample set, lacquers and waxes. I'd like to thank them for their kind and generous support. Martin Saban-Smith has provided me with a sample set of Intrinisic Colours.
All other products and tools, unless where indicated, have been bought from suppliers at retail prices. Products mentioned in my videos are for information purposes so that viewers know what I have used.
Of course you can look at it the rest of your life, it's gorgeous.
Thanks E G!!! Definitely one I'll keep and have out on display at home!
Now that is a "WOW" factor Stewart, thanks for sharing
Thank you, Brent!! Much appreciated. Cheers!
I like your bold use of color against beautiful wood. Love the layering technique to bring the final product😊
Thank you so much 😀
Like little gems stones in a stained glass look.
Take care all and stay safe and well
Cheers Stewart
Harold
Thank you, Harold! I was really pleased with how this turned out. Cheers!
Just got my first few bottles of stain and watching a few of your videos has inspired me. I had no idea work like yours could be produced using it. The journey begins 🤗
Have fun, Stephen!
At first I was thinking he's crazy for staining that beautiful grain, but after seeing the finished project, I am sold and now even want to attempt one myself. Bravo 👏 👏 👏
Thank you - have fun doing your one! I'll take crazy any day as well!!
I think you're right. The coloring turned out Fantastic!
Thanks, Pat - one of my favourites, for sure!
Well Stewart I have to agree that is a stunning marble like finish, I’ve been watching your videos for some time and enjoy the ups and downs of wood turning staining and finish’s great work.
Awesome, thank you!
I love the bowl and can see why you want to keep it. Beautiful 😊
Thank you, Ann! Definitely my favourite thing I've made for quite a while. Cheers!
Beautiful work Stewart. A superb piece of turning and colouring.
Glad you enjoyed it, David. Cheers!
Beautiful Stuart, at one point it looked like an abstract Koi pond in my eyes.
Thank you, Phil! Glad you like it....and I know what you mean about a pond!
This bowl is absolutely stunning, Stewart!!
Thank you, Bonnie!!! I love it!!
When you first used the red I questioned your design ideas. In the end it looks really good.
Thanks, George - I like the contrast the red gives to the blue...glad it worked for you by the end. Cheers!
Yes, definitely a keeper! Beautiful piece Stewart!
I think so too! Cheers, Joesph!
I'm so happy I found your channel today ! I was searching for some videos about chestnut spirit stain, because I want to give colors to my woodturned vases and bowls. Your job with this bowl is amazing, and when I looked at the list of your other videos ... oh my god ! It is so much the kind of thing that I'm currently documenting myself about.
Thank you - glad you found my channel too...sorry you had to wait so long to hear back from me. I'd love to see what you have been making. Cheers!
That is a wonderful shape around the rim.
Cheers, Mark!!
This turned very nice indeed, well done Stewart-
Thank you, Keith - I'll bring it along to club next meeting I can get to. Cheers!
Truly beautiful Stewart, interesting contrast between colouring the inside instead of the outside. I wasn't entirely sure where you going with or this. Can certainly see why you pleased with the outcome, I know I would be. All the best Geoff
Glad you enjoyed it, Geoff!! Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated. Cheers!!
I like it, you like it, and my wife likes it. Normally she thinks coloring wood is one of the great sins, so you may have made a convert. She actually oohed and aahed over the colors. Quite nice indeed.
Don't wear the finish off petting it. 😁 Glad you're feeling better and are back in the shop.
Thanks, Bill - delighted Mrs Bill likes it too!!!! Does it show too much that I like it as well????? Haven't petted it at all today....must go and give it a stroke! Cheers!
That is gorgeous really impressive. Well done.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful Stewart. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Doug - I'm so pleased with this one!
Morning Stuart.
Hey Simon - early start!
super marble look
Cheers, Mike!!
Hi, Love this, Just one more coat of colour lol . Almost remind me of "Blue Planet" TV series under water scene . It really comes to life when the Lacquer is added . Glad your over your 3rd dose of the dreaded "Rona". Take Care.
Thank you, Tyas! It was a great project to do and I'm really pleased with the end result.
Bally hell Stewart looks like your getting the hang of this colouring lark, lovely bowl - think i’ll go try that one.
Haha...thanks, Jonathan!!! Glad you like it. Cheers!!
You Rock every time Love your work
Cheers, Sam! I really like this one!!
Amazing bowl. Well done.
Thank you, Tom!
Trust the English teacher to bring Shakespeare into a woodturning/colouring video 😂 Great video and an incredible result. Thank you for sharing your talent and for the inspiration.
Cheers, Jiggsy! Glad you like it. Fun to do - hope you'll have a go!
looks brill stew 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Thank you so much, Jordan - this one is a keeper for sure!
I just found your channel and have been binge watching the videos. I have colored a few of my pieces and was looking for more techniques and perhaps some inspiration. Love the stuff I've seen but this one is my favorite by far and I will be attempting to make a similar bowl or vase, great stuff. :)
Thank you! Glad you found my channel and are enjoying what you've seen so far. This one is a real favourite of mine too!
Uno specchio il colore!!!!!!! Complimenti
Grazie, Claudio!!!
Fantastic love it.
Thank you, Graham! Glad you like this one - best one I've done for a while, I think. Cheers!
Beautiful!!
Thanks, Joel!
Hello,
Just an idea that I have tried in the past and appears to work with varying degrees of success. I applied a light spray of methylated spirit to the surface of the stain. I then allowed the methylated spirit to evaporate naturally. This leaves an interesting , mottled and interesting pattern. Also it is my belief that if you employ sanding sealer to the underside of the item, the colour will not penetrate; works for me but don't hold me to it. I am not insured...:-)
Thanks for the entertainment.
Frederick
well done mate
Cheers, Mark!!
Wow! From chaos comes great beauty, gorgeous piece Stewart, absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you, Stuart! Delighted with this one and pleased you like it too!
Stewart, the depth of colour is truly stunning ……. Well done. It is nice to see you satisfied with a piece that you have created!
Take care
David
Many thanks, David - I know, I sound postively gushing!!! Cheers!
That blue turned out fantastic. Beautiful bowl.
Thank you very much!
I don't blame you one bit for wanting to keep this bowl, Stewart. This turned out so lovely! 💜
Thanks so much 😊
Stuart, I love all of your color work. It is gorgeous. But something about this piece talked to me. It is spectacular! Thank you so much for sharing your art.
Wow, thank you, Michele. Delighted you like it so much!!
Just beautiful, Stewart! I love it!
Glad you like it, Billy!! Cheers!
A truly fantastic piece. Good job.! Thank you for sharing.
Many thanks, Jude!!
Absolutely stunning piece! The shape and color are spot on. Thank you for sharing and take care. - Riley
Thank you so much, Riley. Delighted you like it!
Hi Stewart, That is stunning and I can fully understand why you think it's one of your best pieces. IT IS!!!!
Great video as ever Stewart and have signed up for the mailing list.
Take care Stewart.
Cheers, Huw
Glad you enjoyed it, Huw. I can't remember the last thing I made I like as much as this one!
Stuart. An exceptionally beautiful piece of work. This will definitely be my next aspiration project. Love it. I think I will also do the underside the same too, with natural edges upper and lower edge. Thank you.🙏🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👏👍
Thanks, Sandy!! Have fun - and don't be afraid to be one more coat of colour on! Cheers!!
Fantastic work, Stewart! What a spectacular interior. I've got a bowl on the go for my father in law. It's Toronto Blue Jays baseball team themed. The resin I used in the rim has sealed wood that I planned to dye light blue. I don't think I can recover it so I considered dying or painting the inside of the bowl, though I know how much he likes wood natural. So, I've got to decide to go with what I've got now or do the interior. I wasn't sure if the interior was even possible so thanks for giving me permission to do that through your video. :)
Go for it, Jay! Hope it works out as you want it to. Cheers!
Interesting color piece! You mentioned that because it is thin in places, you put the cellulose sanding sealer on first. Have you ever actually had some of the stain go all the way through the piece to the other side?
Thank you, Eileen. I have had colour come through very very occasionally but only small spots so it's not common at all and only when thinly turned.
I truly love that bowl!!! You consider this one a reject and I have an offer for you. I will gladly take that bowl right off your hands. That way you will never have to look at it again.. I am serious as a heart attack about the offer. Private message me with the cost and shipping here to the states. What a great bowl!!!. I am so new to turning that I have yet to even turn my lathe on.. 😆 learn by watching first I say. I never thought of applying paint. I think it's perfect!! Thanks for today's lessons today.
Wow - fab comment, Patricia. Thank you! I think I'd have to fight my wife to get the bowl packed up and sold!! I hope you enjoy your turning and let me know if you want any help with colouring ideas - it opens a whole new area of turning. If there's a woodturning club near you, they are great places to get guidance and advice when you're starting out. Take care and happy turning! Cheers!!
Beautiful piece, but i was wondering if you had made the rim black if that blue would have really popped
Thanks, Doug! It might have done....I like to leave some wood showing ideally...Glad you liked the colouring. Cheers!
Beautiful piece Stewart, has to be one of my favourite pieces you have made 😁 I always really enjoy watching your videos. I would be really interested hearing your thoughts about your vicmarc lathe? Any Pros and cons. Many thanks Tom
Many thanks, Tom! I love the lathe - solid, dependable and the shut-off thigh bar is something I really miss on other lathes! Without the tailstock swingaway it would be a bit irritating to take the tailstock off which needed to be done reasonably often before I got the swingaway. An extension bed might be enough to give you enough bed length
@@stewartfurini thanks for your reply I really appreciate it especially your advice on the bed extension 👍 just bought one today 😁all the best Tom
@@thewelshwoodman649 Sounds exciting, Tom.....still got your VB?????
@@stewartfurini really looking forward to turning on it. Still going to hold onto my VB for my larger stuff 😁
@@thewelshwoodman649 Nice!!
Reminds me of coral in a sea. Nice piece Stuart. Are you going to makers? Gav
Cheers, Gav! Glad you like this one. Probably won't make it to Makers this year though.....shame. Hope you enjoy it!
That is exquisite!
What is cotton polish… thank you!
Thanks, Alan - glad you like it. I'm not sure what you mean by cotton polish? I've had a quick look back through the video but didn't find a mention of this. Let me know where it is in the video and I'll get back to you!
@@stewartfurini I think it says “cut and polish “….In another video transcript:)) I’m guessing Yorkshire grit or something similar
@@alanneel2749 AHa! Should have worked this out for myself! Yes, it is Cut 'n' Polish and it's similar to Yorkshire Grit. It's from Chestnut Products: chestnutproducts.co.uk/product/cutnpolish/ Cheers!
Good day Stewart, A question for you. I've got a 15-year-old block of walnut. 11.5" x 12" x 2.25"
No cracks, no warpage. A pristine block of wood, that I bought years ago.
I turn on a fixed income, so I don't want to waste it. Looking for a suggestion of what to turn,
that would be outstanding? I'm posing this to several of my favorite turners. Thanks.
Hi John - sounds like a very nice block of wood! My thoughts are going towards a wide rimmed bowl, perhaps with a bead at the inner rim where it meets the bowl section. The bowl ideally will be slightly undercut to create a strong shadow line. I would probably go for no embellishment...or would use gold in some way, especially if the walnut is very dark. My preference would be for an ogee on the underside, but perhaps with a lip under the rim for the fingers to feel when it's picked up. Have fun deciding what to do with it! Cheers!!
@@stewartfurini Thanks for the reply. Been pondering your advice for a couple of days. I like your suggestions. I would like to add some color to it, as it's medium brown. You are without equal, the Master of Color, on RUclips. Thinking gold and a little white or off white. Then spin it. Appreciate the tips.
I love you work but I’ve been told to only apply stains on BARE wood by you do your own thing
But what about shellac and spray can ...what’s the difference.
I’m easily confused. Any pointers please
Hi David - the general rule is indeed not to put sealer on before stain to allow the stain to soak into the wood. In this instance, I wanted to encourage the stain to sit on the surface a bit longer and 'puddle', though it wasn't ever put on in too great an amount. This was for a particular decorative look. It shouldn't be used if you are staining or dyeing a piece of wood to change colour. Chestnut Products have a great compatibility chart to help work out what you can put on what - chestnutproducts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Chestnut-Products-Compatibility-Chart-Coloured.pdf
Hope it's helpful! Cheers!!
...I use the spray can sealer so that I don't have to brush sealer over my colours in case it causes them to move about or starts to dilute them...
can u get 3m papers like 3000 and 5000 grit for nibs and compound that
I'm sure you can, Mike - or some wet and dry paper
@@stewartfurini i have them i meant do you have acess these are all from bodyshop materials...you would like how they work
@@mikepruett1745 I see...I don't but I'll look into getting some!
@@stewartfurini its not cheap i get the used ones at work
