- Опубликовано: 25 ноя 2016
- It's been a while since I posted a wood turning project video, but I'm really pleased to be back.
This is a brave project that uses dyes on a 13.5" spalted beech bowl, finished with acrylic sanding sealer and Hampshire Sheen High Gloss.

I have throughly enjoyed your turnings over the years ………Thank you and keep it up………Bravo mon capitaine
You know my feelings on colouring highly figured woods, especially spalted ...but you my friend "nailed it". You have managed to produce a stunning piece, where the colour has not detracted, but accentuated the natural beauty of the wood. Great work Martin.
Cheers
Mike
I've watched this video 3 times and cannot believe the effect of colouring spalted beech. Your understanding of colouring is true artistry. Wonderful piece of work.
Beautiful! The emerald color and visible texture of the tree. Like!
good to see you back at the lathe interesting bowl
Hello Mr Smith, watched a pile of your vids in the last 24 hours, your added creativity takes a the bowls and platters to another level of "pleasing to the eye" for me. Thanks for uploading.
WoW beautiful , you have a good eye for Colour love it , why would anyone thumb this down ,they should go and watch the crap on TV
Exellent tutorial, love the bowl. Ron
Hi Ron. Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it and found it useful.
Good to see you back on the lathe Martin 👍love the new workshop
Martin, great to have you back making project videos. You can probably get AC adapters that clip in where the battery goes on your cameras so you can plug them in instead of having to worry about keeping your batteries charged.
Glad to see you back on the lathe! I liked seeing how you decided on colors.
-Todd
I like what you're doing with the camera work, Martin, too bad you were losing battery. And the bowl is beautiful!
Just got round to watching this video. Really love this piece and how the colouring adds to the spalted effect
Beautiful bowl Martin, great to see another turning video from you.
Martin its good to see you in your new shop, Another great piece.Anthony
Beautiful piece Martin! 👍 Thanks for sharing!
Looks like a Turner.
Nice one Martin.
Fabulous Martin! I love that you didn't spray the stain on this piece, which created a much more random colour palette. When you added the blue to the green, it truly popped!
That is wonderful... despite you plumbing new depths of evilness. I would never have imagined that spalted wood could look this good, especially coloured. Great job.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
One word Martin...Stunning!
Very nice, the inside of the bowl reminded me of a watercolour by Joseph Turner.
James
Thanks for sharing the video, I personally love the way it turned out.
thank you for showing, there is always a new technique when it comes to embellishing ones work
That is so beautiful...I just love the colors!
Beautiful bowl, and I love the colours.
It's lovely to see you at work again! I love the colours of this bowl, especially the inside!
Thank's Martin for sharing, always learn and enjoy from your videos, also appreciate your fearless approach!
Hey Johan. Thanks for your comment. I hope you continue to enjoy the videos.
All the best,
Martin
Its a lovely bowl and thanks for showing your colouring techniques.
James
My pleasure, James. Thanks for watching.
All the best,
Martin
great to see your latest beautiful creation.
Great looking piece. The coloring looks really nice and sets off the grain very well.
I has been great to watch the building of the new shop and well worth the wait for your videos to resume. You have come a long way and I am looking forward to what comes next. Keep up the great work.
I think that is a good idea. I have been trying to think of how to do that with a santa instead but I think the shape would be to odd.
Lovely just lovely. I don’t normally like wood with interesting grains, etc coloured but you nailed it with this one. On another note, as someone who has spent years in the health care field I feel I should mention that turning spalted wood without a respirator on is not a good idea. The mould and fungal spores from the spalted area can be inhaled and treating a fungal lung infection is very difficult and you can be left with chronic breathing problems. Ok, I’ll butt out now.
As always ,interesting and informative,with the added extra of a lovely piece.
Amazing, well done martin
Nice work Martin!
It is a very beautiful Martin. Thank you. Júlíus
Personally I think the front is the best you have done it looks like a under water mountain scene as for the back I'm not thrilled and the grain is fantastic and don't listen to the people who said don't color it great job
Can you briefly explain the technique you used to stabilize this large bowl to turn off the tenon and finish the foot? Love the coloring by the way.
great job i love the coloring that you do, and the new cameras and camera angles look great
very nice I love the finished bowl I like to try colours on all types I some times use inks but it can get pricey but just got some mice stains from hobby craft and have some projects lined up for next week inspirational
Great job! You took the life out of that piece of wood.
Good to see you're back in the shop turning. Seems like a shame to get that new floor dirty, but I guess that is the point of a wood working shop, isn't it? I just finished a 10" bowl with 3 knots on one side, making it heavy on that side. It made turning quite a challenge at such a low speed. Your bowl turned out very well. I'm not a fan of colored wood, but you made it look fantastic. Good job...as usual. Like!
It came out better than expected. I used a high gloss lacquer for the finish. I wonder if Yorkshire Grit would buff the lacquer to a higher shine? Perhaps some of your wax stick on top of that.
looks great. must give it a try
Hi Barry. Thank you very much.
Martin
Excellent...
Cheers...
REALLY nice piece mate, well done! :)
Another superb job, my friend. As you know coloring is not my bag...usually. However, this piece really caught my fancy. Perhaps it was the natural rim with the color accenting the bowl. Nevertheless, it was truly grand to see your new digs and this vid. I do hope that this venture is hugely successful and you can enjoy this new life. I am one of your many ardent fans!
Man that turned out great. Was a little skeptical when the color was just going on but you did an outstanding job bringing it all together.
Marvelous colors inside the bowl. I'm thinking of no added colors outside but maybe burn the rim lip ? Regardless,,, you do some amazing work and it is a pleasure viewing your videos. Thank you.
Martin,
Glad to see you finished the bowl. I watched you setting things up this morning which was very interesting. The bowl turned out beautifully. Thanks for all the video content today and thanks for sharing with everyone,
Jim
that came out awesome Martin, great job mate :)
Hi Martin, As you are in the workshop why are you using batteries in the recording device. I know most cameras come with batteries but you can also get mains adaptors to run when you have electricity. If you went down this route you would not have to worry about running out of battery power and be able to save your barriers for working outside. One thing less to think of is a bonus. Loved the bowl by the way
Lovely piece Martin,a bit of a struggle but it ended up really nice. I don't think you'll ever turn Mike to the dark side though!
Take care mate,
Keith.
Well an interesting project. Most of the way through I really was sitting on the fence, but sitting there too long and you will start to fall. Personally I don't think it has worked as well as it could have done, not where something like spalted beech has an amazing grain to start with. I think the red on the back really hits you too much as well as the green on the front .
I suppose the question you have to ask which is the same for just about anything we do is "Has the extra bits of the colouring improved on the subject had they not been put on?" Of course everyone will have a different opinion. I don't dislike it but had you another beside it without the colour I would probably go to that one first every time.
Great project, brave of you and certainly worthy of a thumbs up!
Fantastic bowl, love the colouring. Love spalted beech, I use it a lot for pen boxes and I'm just making a show box for an army friend to mount is medal in. Can let me know where you get your stains from please. Cheers phil
Another masterpiece Martin. I recently tried dye on a box but it doesn't look as good as yours
So beautiful, thanks for sharing! That type of paint are you using? I love the results.
Wow you do great work with the colours ! this piece comes out perfect !!! the video have a small problem with the sound ! but not problem man !!!
Its worked out very well, very nice
What is the difference between the Crimson colours, Chestnut satin stains and your own Intrinsic range?
thanks
James
Lovely job but how did you remove the tenon ?
nice bowl Martin, you like that shape don't you lol :)
What brand of color do you use, again?
Do you always apply the Sealer and Lacquer as the piece is spinning
Just caught up with this video - very impressed Martin. Are you using water based or spirit based stain?
I don't know if you've mentioned this subject elsewhere (apologies if the answer is elsewhere on your channel) but, in terms of PPE and dust protection, what do you think of powered respirators like the Trend Airshield and the 3M equivalent?
2016! Oh! I want that bowl! Has it sold? Probably. How much?
I started buy calling you a heathen for colouring your piece and ended up wanting it, so now I'm off to my den to look for some splayed beach to play with.
Thanks Jonathan. I'm happy to be called a heathen for colouring the way I do. Some love it, some hate it...it all boils down to colouring the piece in a way that suits the piece, but doesn't detract from the actual wood itself, the colour should enhance, not obscure the wood.
I much prefer the inside - seems to show up the spalting better. I think the colouring on the outside is much better on a blander piece of wood. :)
The late, great Mark Raby always told us that kitchen towel is for absorbing liquid not applying it.

Hi Martin quick question not about this project but how could I brand up my acrylic pens. The branding needs to be coloured as well have you got any idea. Thanks jack
Hi Martin im asking if you know how to brand a pen that all thanks jack
If you wouldn’t mind telling me the lathe you are using in this video
Hi Dennis. This lathe is a Nova Galaxi. I now use an Axminster 2030 Trade Lathe.
