The grain by the crack is beautiful!! It's symbolic of the fact that we're all beautiful, no matter how damaged we may be. The wood was really sucking up that first stain!
Mike, I’ve watched a lot of your videos and I’ve really liked everything you’ve done. There hasn’t been a single piece i didn’t like. Having said that and watching this video, this piece is no exception! Awesome job and that wood is fantastic! Oh, and great job with that inlay and coloring.
Great colouring in the natural wood, I couldn’t believe how the light staining improved the outside graining particularly the smooth grain section. Well done.
the inlay really adds to the overall appearance of the bowl. I use epoxy to fill voids and holes in bowls but have never used it for a design. Really fantastic idea
I love the outside colour you achieved for this bowl, and the shape. I am sure the new owners are going to be over the moon with it. Another beautiful piece Mike, congrats. Have a fantastic evening
Its a pleasure watching you work you take great pride in every piece you do myself just a beginner but I'm taking allot of your tips and trying them thank you mike
Ich werde wohl einige Stunden mit Ihnen verbringen müssen, weil ich Sie erst jetzt entdeckt habe. Bei der Entstehung Ihrer wunderschönen Kreationen zuzuschauen, ist mir eine Freude. Herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland
Nice work. I am normally not a fan of coloring wood other than color the sealer gives to it unless it is an acrylic paint butt he red wood dye worked very well. I may have to try it on a turned tulip.
Thanks, must admit it never appealed to me either but now I'm starting to like it. I would never normally do it on beautiful wood like olive ash but it's what the client wanted. Tulip would be perfect for colouring as its normally quite an uninteresting wood.
A question for you Mike why did you not use Millipot (sp) to fill the hole? Another beautiful example of your extraordinary craftsmanship Happy Christmas from California
I like this bowl's shape and grain, especially the flaw of the crack, gives it character. edit, About the Dremel, I know there's a metal guide they sell for doing straight edges but it's for large flat areas not a small bowl shape but if you run it along a smaller metal edge it might work but you'd still have to control the depth somehow...how about wood burning? lol🙃
I love your videos and great craftsmanship. I was looking for someone who can make me some small bowls for change and keys. I don't know how you feel about using resin. In your projects or commissions.
Hi Sammy, I have used resin quite a few times in the past so it's not a problem. Send me an email and we can have a chat about what you would like, mike@mikeholton.net all the best, Mike
How did you get the triangle logo/inlay exactly in the centre of the bowl bottom? It might be an optical illusion, but it looks lop-sided to me. By the way, the sound reminded me of a dentist, so I am glad you reverted to a chisel 😂

Thanks Lisa, you're right about the stain being sucked up! 😁

Haha I thought you were setting me up to knock me down then, many thanks 😀

Thanks Fiona, this was a commission from another one of my students. They have been very supportive 😀
@@MikeHolton if I ever get over to the UK I will commission a piece so I can collect it 😁

Vielen Dank für Ihre freundlichen Worte. Ich hoffe, dass Ihnen der Rest meiner Arbeit genauso viel Freude bereitet. Alles Gute, Mike
Too bad I can't give you more than one 'like'!
One is enough, thanks so much 😀
This is amazing So precise
Thanks Rachel 😀
Beautiful bowl. I was surprised how much resin that crack drank.
Not as surprised as I was 😃, I had to keep checking it was not seeping out onto my lathe!
Beautiful. ❤❤
Thank you! 😊
Gorgeous ❤
Thank you! 😊
The great thing about that crack you filled, is that it kind of resembles a monster eye. lol
Haha thanks, I never thought of it that way
Even better on the rerun. ❤❤❤❤
haha this one brings back so many memories 😀
Nicely done clean and tight love the foot the bottoms are usually an afterthought Yours is well thought out. Classy✌️
Thanks Beverly 😃
Muito LINDA peças desejo muito sucesso boa tarde
Obrigado Ester
Beautiful bowl. I like the way the colors turned out. The grain of this bowl is amazing. Love your work!
❤😎🙃
Thanks Dotty, Olive Ash is amazing wood to turn.
Nice bowl Mike. Interesting piece of wood. I like the inlay.
Thanks, olive wood can have an amazing grain.
Great looking bowl Mike. 👍👍👍
Thanks Simon :)

Now that’s more like the colouring I prefer. Stunning bowl again Mike.
So would you use the dremmel again or stick with the hand tools?
As I get better I would have to say dremmel 😀
Great work :) your doing amazing keep it up
Thanks Philippa always appreciate the encouragement :D
A question for you Mike why did you not use Millipot (sp) to fill the hole? Another beautiful example of your extraordinary craftsmanship Happy Christmas from California
Thanks Judy, I could have used it but resin will get deeper into the hole in case it goes deep into the wood 😀

I've tried all sorts to get a straight line. I have other videos on wood burning 😀

great work, but, what does the triangle signify?
Thanks Ron, it's a magic symbol for fire in the Witcher films and games.
🤘
👍😄

Hi Neil, it was done by eye and although it may not look it, it is in the centre 😀
Very nice work I do like that

Thanks Woody 😊
What is the name of the dye used to stain wood. I’m from Australia and want to get some if I can, what is the mixing rate.
