You certainly like to get your moneys worth out of your blanks don't you. A man after my own heart! The perfect accompaniment to a lazy Saturday morning cuppa. Great job Stewart.
That's lovely. The finger and thumb prints are your 'secret marks'. In many years a TV presenter will shriek with delight when they find them and thus will authenticate one of your pieces at auction. Best Wishes, Brendan.
Hi Stewart, Begging, Begging, Begging, Begging, Begging, Begging, Begging, Begging, and one more Begging. That is wonderful Stewart. Watching you create this from, at times, something that looks really messy is a wonder to behold. I have found the Crackle Stencil, as a pack of two, on Amazon. Cheers, Huw
I didn't like it at first but as always a master piece with blemishes ,all ways a bonus having the the colour master's prints on it should sell well 😉👍👍
Another winner, Stewart. That is absolutely gorgeous! Send it over here so I can get a closer look just to be sure I’m not overrating it. LOL! 😂🤣😂🤣🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Safe turning, my friend, .....Gord
Stewart excellent video-well done. There is actually little out there on airbrushing wood-(plates, bowls, platters) I love the effect and gloss finish. thanks Sam
Stewart, I heard you once call a platter "another worthless bowl", I disagree; but if you were to put a lid (maybe domed) it would take on a whole different look - this is what I'm going to try out a rather plan piece of cherry and try to color it using some of the numerous techniques you send our way - thanks for what you do
Another great experiment! It's a brilliant combination of techniques. A finger print is just a very detailed signature, and all artists sign their work.
I just love your work! AND your humor! You have almost convinced me to try this myself. Fear is the darndest setback. lol In the meantime, I will keep binge watching your work 😁🤗🤗 Thank you for being YOU! 🤩☺
Hello Stewart, It's weird that just as you were suggesting a childhood link to the artwork, I was reminiscing over the multitude of ink designs and messages that covered the desktops at school in the seventies. They would have started off a pale cream, but over the years, turned to a darker orange-gold as the varnish had aged. One could tell the earliest works as they were in black or blue ink and were partially overwritten by later items that encroached with no respect due to lack of space. Later on, fine tip permanent ink coloured pens emerged and to the gold background and blue and black stains were added the reds and greens, supported by various attemts at carving for added effect and depth. . . . If you can't see even a vague link here, then I may have dug myself into a very deep hole. Second try. The platter looks great and would make a fine giveaway. For some reason it brings back images from my youth. Regards, Glenn. :-)
I really, really like the triangles. How inspired. What I like about all your stuff is how things develop as we are watching. Really inspirational to us poor souls who don't have too much artistic imagination. What a great channel. PS: Woody, I think you will find I need it sooooo much more than you do.... :) :) :)
I love it Stuart! I can completely relate to fingerprints from being impatient My Friend👍 You know me... I'm always happy to see one of your masterpieces survive.
Lovely piece, I thought you were going to overdo it with the paint, but no, it added too it. Like how you find alternative ways to do things, while I like the look of Lichtenberg burning, I too think it's dangerous, and with my 10yr old daughter taking more of an interest doing things on the Lathe it's not something I want anyone playing with in my shop.
Thank you! I do tend to put a lot of 'product' on many of my platters/bowls, so I'm not surprised you had this thought! Yep, Lichtenberg burning is not for me either!! Cheers
Stewart.... I greatly enjoy your videos, especially those with your experiments with coloring. I may have said this before.... my personal preference would be to stop colouring before you do. I think the pieces need less colour embellishments rather than more. This may be my only myself showing a personal preference 😅
Thanks for commenting....I'm pretty sure you aren't alone with this thought (I certainly have it from time to time as well!) Glad you enjoy my videos. Cheers!!
Hello just started catching you on your videos like your comentery over your work John Dempsey told me about you before his sad passing i was wondering if you could tell me the make of your lathe Regards Jamie
Cheers, John! My rightangle drill is a ryobi - it's good. I got quite a high capacity batter to go with it which is quite heavy but it's easy to use one-handed.
I love how it looks. Stupid question: what are you spraying? Acrylic paint or stain. I’ve not yet gotten into airbrushing yet but want to do so. Thanks.
Thanks, Andrew - I'm using Chestnut Products spirit stains in the airbrushes....I'm too lazy to do paint and have to clean out the airbrush all the time!
Fingerprint? DNA signature and hand made verification! 🤪 As to color balance, save some time and get one of your techy students to set it for you!!! Platter looks very “mid-century” in style, meaning you are right in there with the current fashion trends. Even if you have sawdust in your wool. He, he........
Thanks, Valerie! I'm contemplating a collaboration with my knitting/crocheting daughter where she provides the knitwear and I add the shavings....not sure she'll go for it!! Good luck in the draw!
My easily boggled mind still has a problem understanding how you do all those strange looking things and end up with a really attractive piece. Is your name really Harry by any chance? It all seems magical. Just for fun (really) I've been reading through some theoretical physics, including quantum stuff. It occurs to me that there may a way you could continue turning past the thickness of a bit of wood and end up with a substantial object. Think of how much experimenting you could do with so little wood. What savings! It also occurs to me that maybe I should be doing my reading AFTER having my morning coffee...
You certainly like to get your moneys worth out of your blanks don't you. A man after my own heart!
The perfect accompaniment to a lazy Saturday morning cuppa. Great job Stewart.
Cheers, Pete! Yep, there's only just enough wood left with this one to make something worth keeping from!
That's lovely. The finger and thumb prints are your 'secret marks'. In many years a TV presenter will shriek with delight when they find them and thus will authenticate one of your pieces at auction.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Cheers, Brendan! Let's hope you're right and posterity is kind to my crazy colour combos!
You wanted a keeper, Stewart, and you did it. I also enjoy your verbosity and the way you mock it yourself.
Thanks, William - glad you enjoy my waffle!
Very nice, Stewart! You always find a way to make the texture give a three dimensional effect. I like it! Keep up the great work, my friend!
Thanks, David! Delighted you like it. Cheers!
Hi Stewart, Begging, Begging, Begging, Begging, Begging, Begging, Begging, Begging, and one more Begging. That is wonderful Stewart.

Crossing all my fingers and toes, Huw....good luck....have fun with the stencils!
I didn't like it at first but as always a master piece with blemishes ,all ways a bonus having the the colour master's prints on it should sell well 😉👍👍
Haha...thanks, Barry!
Some people say less is more. Not those called Furini.. Love it Stewart
Thanks, Wayne! I think that just about sums me up!
WOW!!...that's wonderful Stewart.....Inspirational bit of turning/colouring.....
Cheers, Ian! I had fun with this one!!
Another winner, Stewart. That is absolutely gorgeous! Send it over here so I can get a closer look just to be sure I’m not overrating it. LOL! 😂🤣😂🤣🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Thank you, Sam! Delighted you liked the video - I hope you'll enjoy some more of mine. Cheers!!

Cheers, Phil - nice idea. Hope it works out. I look forward to seeing the end result. Take care!!
Always been a fan of your work Stewart! Not to sound presumptuous, but I’ve already picked out a spot in my house to display that lovely piece 😉
Thanks, John...fingers crossed then!
Another outstanding piece Stewart. It would look superb against my newly coloured table😉😉
Thanks, Bee! I'm sure it would - fingers crossed!!
Wonderful piece! I’d love to have it fingerprints and all👍🇺🇸
Thanks, Cortland! Fingers crossed!
That’s nonsense! Nothing but perfection comes out of the shop of the great Stew! Gorgeous as always my friend! Glad you saved it from the fireplace 🥰
Thanks, Angie! Kind of you to say 😍
Stewart, nice looking project, thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, Joseph - cheers!
Awesome Stewart its come up really well
kind Regards
Col
Thanks, Col - I can't resist a stencil or two!! Cheers!!
I think its a stunning piece.
Cheers, George - much appreciated!
Very nice Stewart. I always enjoy your projects. Cheers!
Thank you, Karl!
I love the colors and patterns!!
Thanks, Bonnie!!
Another great experiment! It's a brilliant combination of techniques. A finger print is just a very detailed signature, and all artists sign their work.
Cheers! One fingerprint might be a detailed signature...three and thumb print is probably overkill!!
That looks really cool Stewart, thanks for sharing :-)
Thanks - glad you like it! Good luck in the draw!
That is beautiful.Stewart Thanks for sharing
Cheers, Dave! Good luck in the giveaway.
I always think you do too much, then suddenly it all comes together and looks stunning. Great stuff, thanks for all the ideas.
Cheers, Rab...you're not alone with that thought.....I have it from time to time as well!
For some reason Kenny Everett's Rod Stewart sketch springs to mind! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Haha - nice one, Alan - I see what you mean!!
Very nice, it works very well
Thanks
James

Looks great. 👍🏻 after all it’s handmade. 😃
Cheers, Raymond! Good luck in the draw!
I just love your work! AND your humor! You have almost convinced me to try this myself. Fear is the darndest setback. lol In the meantime, I will keep binge watching your work 😁🤗🤗 Thank you for being YOU! 🤩☺
Thanks, Kim! A fab comment to get. Go for it - you can always turn it off and no one need ever know!!
Another amazing turn, would love this in my front room
Thanks, Ginger - good luck in the draw!
I never cease to be amazed by the end result, good stuff Stuart.
Thank you, Graham - glad you like this one. Cheers!
Love your work‼️‼️
Thank you!

Haha - put a smile on my face, Glenn...a nice social history of school boy graffiti in our time!
Love your work and your amusing commentary. 😊👌💕
Thank you so much 😀
After watching any of your videos I am always inspired to go have a go of something different. Keep up the great work......
Thanks, Kevin - have fun trying it out. Cheers!
Awesome job! Love it.
Thanks, Tim - glad you like it!
That’s amazing Stewart, I have done with very similar to this, I’m sorry but! with mine I had a fantastic teacher 😁😘
Hahaha....i'll have to see if he can teach me anything!! x
I’m sure he would show you how, l found him very knowledgeable and friendly x
@@lindaoreilly933 funny....others have told me he's a insufferable know-it-all 😂😂😂

Thank you, John. What a great comment to get! Delighted you like it - and best of luck in the draw!
Excellent piece and I’d love a Mr Furini original 😀👍
Thanks, Phil - good luck in the draw!
Another interesting technique. As ever, appreciate your honesty about the piece 👍🏻
Thanks, John - good luck in the draw!
That is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks, Philip. Took me a while to see if this was going to turn out all right!
Very nice !
Cheers, Steve - good luck in the draw!
Nothing I don’t like about it. So very nice.
Cheers, Doug! Delighted you like it.
I like that one too, must look for that crackle stencil, love the effect of it.
Thanks, Stuart - a crackle stencil will go a long way!
I love the effect, I need to try this.
Thanks, Maryalice - glad you like it. Have fun when you try it out. Cheers!
Nice one Stewart, the kind of item that I would enjoy producing on a 1 Day AWGB Course in 2020.
Cheers
Roger
Thanks, Roger - I better source some more crackle stencils so there are enough to go round!
I love it Stuart! I can completely relate to fingerprints from being impatient My Friend👍 You know me... I'm always happy to see one of your masterpieces survive.
Thanks, Steve - yep, quite a few have been surviving lately!

good stuff mate
Cheers, Mike - good luck with the giveaway!
@@stewartfurini i didnt know about it
@@mikepruett1745 ....well, you're in for leaving a comment! Cheers
Another fantastic piece, mate. Really love this tequnique. I think it looks stunning, and I'd be honoured to own a Furini original! ;)
Thanks, Wolfy! Fingers crossed!!

Thanks, Steve! Glad you like it.
Looks great to me but my eye's aren't what they use to be . If you send it over here to Canada I can get a better look at it lol .
Haha...I hope you get to have a closer look, Glen! Good luck!
Hello just started catching you on your videos like your comentery over your work John Dempsey told me about you before his sad passing i was wondering if you could tell me the make of your lathe
Regards Jamie
Thanks and welcome. So very sad about Jon. This lathe is a Wivamac DB1000....now sold so I'm just left with my Vicmarc now...
That’s refreshingly different! What do you think of the DeWalt right angle drill? I’m thinking of getting one...
Cheers, John! My rightangle drill is a ryobi - it's good. I got quite a high capacity batter to go with it which is quite heavy but it's easy to use one-handed.
Stewart Furini Thanks Stewart, my mistake!
‘Lost for Words’
Thanks, Teresa! Glad you like it!
How many people have been killed using a wood lathe?
No idea!
I love how it looks. Stupid question: what are you spraying? Acrylic paint or stain. I’ve not yet gotten into airbrushing yet but want to do so. Thanks.

Wonderful Stuff! To save everyone's time I'll send you my address for the platter. 😂
Thanks, Woody - crossing my fingers for you!
My easily boggled mind still has a problem understanding how you do all those strange looking things and end up with a really attractive piece. Is your name really Harry by any chance? It all seems magical.
Just for fun (really) I've been reading through some theoretical physics, including quantum stuff. It occurs to me that there may a way you could continue turning past the thickness of a bit of wood and end up with a substantial object. Think of how much experimenting you could do with so little wood. What savings! It also occurs to me that maybe I should be doing my reading AFTER having my morning coffee...
Thanks, Bill - the quantum physics almost makes sense to me...perhaps I need MORE coffee????
