Well Peggy that was a pretty nice bowl I like the word the word was fantastic it is a beautiful piece of wood keep doing what you’re doing you’re teaching me so much I love watching you and I watch every video thank you so much God bless you
Very pleasing shape and the way the stain was taken up is interesting. The wood is amazing. Take care wearing your ring when you work, if a step or knot catches the stone it can make a mess. Thanks for sharing your talent.
That's gorgeous Peggy. It actually looks like a melon the way the grain is and with the green it looks fantastic, absolutely beautiful fantastic job yet again 👍👍👍
Another excellent demonstration of your woodturning skills Peggy, I like the way you blended the colours to get the finished effect. Keep up the excellent work.
Nice job on the sand back to get rid of all that tearout and ridges. If you sand with with the drill like you did the second time you'll never have more issues with ridges induced by hand sanding. Pretty result!!
You have much more faith in your hollowing skills than I do with mine. There’s no way I would put that much effort into the exterior finish before hollowing.
Still revisiting all your previous videos (you have a bunch!). This one really caught my eye. First is the grain. I swear it appears to run in 2 directions. I just stared... I haven't seen anything that defined before! That AAA was definitely a AAA! As for the color, I'm 50/50 on coloring. When you started coloring this AAA I yelled at the TV! I'm glad you started over. That looks more like a watermelon than a watermelon looks like a watermelon (if you followed that, congrats!). It worked well and didn't kill the grain, just gave a different perspective. Since I'm here, you've used black and white miliput on a couple of pieces from a while ago. I thought the mix of black and white on those looked amazing! It has almost a lace effect. Your best miliput use so far, in my opinion. I'm going to try for that effect soon. Beautiful embellishment!
Of all the Intrinsic color set, Earth has to be my favorite and most used color. And most of the time I don’t even blend it with any other color. It does so well on it’s own. You blended colors turned out pretty nice.
Just finished turning a bowl out of the figured maple also purchased at Rockler. I prefer the natural color of the wood. I very much liked the interior of the bowl. Not to crazy with the color on the outside of the bowl. By the way your bowl's shape was better than mine.
Hope the New England fall is vibrant & beautiful for you... It was nice for you start out with a fairly round blank. A couple steps skipped made an end result much quicker.
I was thinking about a bowl saver for that grain. Awesome coloring technique. Just a thought: could you use a cabinet scraper on a turned piece while turning?
Nice job! I have the same lathe and I'll just share my experience with coring systems, since you mentioned an interest. I started with the McNaughton and got some horrible catches. As I was analyzing the problem, I noticed the tip of the cutter would flex 1/4" below center with hand pressure. I thought it was the knife flexing that much, but was surprised to see it was the banjo on my 18/36! The body of the banjo would twist away from the bedways and the cam lock bar became bent from the catches. I swallowed my pride and bought the Oneway Easy Core. It is so much easier to use, I wish I got that in the first place!!! Good luck with whatever system you choose and keep turnin'!
I think you color schemes are really cool. What a beautiful grain on that piece of wood. FYI...an easy way to find center on round, square or whatever. take your compass and guesstimate the center of the wood, take the point and touch the edge of the piece then drew a small curve in center. Place the point on opposite side (edge) and draw another curve. adjust the compass to hit the middle of the 2 curves. Do the same thing on the other 2 opposite sides. Where the 4 lines intersect will be your center...Easy Peasy!!! Hope that explanation came thru 0K.
My only experience of highly figured maple has been laquered guitar tops. The 3D effects can be startling. This is a beautiful piece of timber. I would have preferred to see more of the natural colour of the maple but then I tend to use TruOil finishes on guitar bodies and necks. What a shame to waste all that gorgeous maple when following out the centre...gotta get that bowl saver! I really like your commentary, great to know what the various passes are intended to achieve. Thx for posting
I was wondering- instead of sanding the darker areas, could you spritz on some alcohol to blend the colours? Very nice to see I’m not alone in not being happy with my colouring, and sand it off.
I like that you speak softly and let your work explain most of what you are doing. Where do you get your large wood chunks at? They are beautiful pieces of figured maple!!
Loved the color selection you chose for the bowl and the exterior shape. Then I watched you hollow out the inside and it looked like you stopped the depth about half way in before sanding. Was this an optical illusion?
A very nice bowl. I like the coloring on the outside and natural inside. I wish I could see colors as you see them. Did you leave the bottom natural or did you color?
I like this one a lot. Question, do you see any washing out of color over time, say a few months? I have some Artisan dies I use that tend to fade a little.
A trick that I was taught was to use a Sharpie and color the cutting edge black prior to grinding. This will allow you to see exactly how you are grinding so that you can adjust as needed.
Make it easier on yourself and tool by starting forming the bottom first, as you are going to cut away your perfectly rounded edge anyway. Speed up the process too.
I was challenged and inspired by your coloring approach. I think that aspect of finishing is your strong suit. You didn’t sand enough (at least on the outside) as concentric tool marks were clearly visible at the close-up. Too bad. Push cuts would have given you a much smoother, more even result than the smoothing cuts (scraping) you were shown doing (outside). As a fellow Mainer, I encourage you to perfect your craft; we have a long history of excellence and artistry. Best wishes.
You asked for feedback. I have a channel but I took the videos down 7 years ago. I did firearms restoration. I was working 7 days a week & I just couldn't keep it up. Now I am a "consumer" of youtube. What I would recommend is to put in the low volume royalty free music in the background. You have to do narration because of the noisy environment, and you also have some long pauses. I have found that the music in the background is a good filler and adds to the video quality.
Peggy I love the way you start on the outside of the bowl to get it balanced first, I've been turning wood for a long time as a hobby. My lathe is worn out and currently have a Grizzly G0766 on the way. I used water-based paints and wipe them off with a wet rag to get the colors I wanted, your coloring is good, and I learn a lot of new things from you-tube, always learning something new ! I was blown away whenever I watched this video ( th-cam.com/video/XrMJ6tyjh-s/w-d-xo.html ) I think the trick is to let the die dry, watch it and let me know what you think .
Mam I've worked around machinery my whole life so please believe me when I say it's a very bad idea to wear any rings or jewelry around the lathe while it's on other than that you do fine work
love your video but the way you hold your hands when sharpening needs to change. your lead hand should be below the jig. if the tool catches your hand will go down. if you hand is above the jig, guiding it from the tightening lug, you fingers will fall into the wheel with the tool if there is a slip off the wheel or a catch. the two bloodiest accidents i have heard about so far are both from sharpening. with two fingers gone. get safe. get that hand below the jig and learn to control it from there.
I have to admit I often don't take off mine either on the wood lathe. I do take them off when working with my metal lathe though, since I get a lot closer to spinning jaws etc there.
Please take off your rings when working with rotating machinery. My wedding ring got caught 40 years ago and there is still a very visible scare, luckily I still have the finger.
Please, humor an old man, record the sound the tool is making when you’re working the wood. The sound a lathe and the piece of work make is just as important as your dialog. (Pontificating)
That turned out great Peggy! Watching you use the colours make me want to dig mine back out 👍
Thanks, Sam!!
Well Peggy that was a pretty nice bowl I like the word the word was fantastic it is a beautiful piece of wood keep doing what you’re doing you’re teaching me so much I love watching you and I watch every video thank you so much God bless you
Thank you so much!
Peggy you have some really great ideas that turn out to be a beautiful project. 💗👍
Thanks so much 😊
The look of well sanded maple never disappoints! A very nice bowl!
Thanks for watching!
Once again I'm amazed at how it turned out. Beautiful piece of woodturning!
Thanks!
Great job! It’s got a nice calabash look to it!
Thanks!
Very pleasing shape and the way the stain was taken up is interesting. The wood is amazing. Take care wearing your ring when you work, if a step or knot catches the stone it can make a mess. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Thanks, David!
Lovely bowl...the grain is spectacular!
Thank you, Carol!!
The coloring you did on that definitely brought the grain out in that wood. Beautiful piece.
Thanks much!
Your artistry with the finishes inspires me to try new things.
Thanks!!
Thanks for another great turn!
Thanks, Jim!
Another beautiful bowl!
Thank you!
That's gorgeous Peggy. It actually looks like a melon the way the grain is and with the green it looks fantastic, absolutely beautiful fantastic job yet again 👍👍👍
Thanks, Gavin!
Excellent result- let the grain speak for itself with a touch of nicely applied color! Simple yet very nice. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!!
A very nice final shape and colour to your bowl, Peggy!
Thanks, Stewart!!
I love this bowl! The shape and colors are really cool! 💜
Cool, thanks for watching!
Very nice bowl! Really enjoy your use of contrast, color and texture. Really takes the piece to another level.
Thanks!!
Super job Peggy love the way you used the forest green , really accents the figure in the Maple. One very stunning blow, thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Gary!
Really Great color on that Peggy! It looks Beautiful!
Thanks, Steve!
Pretty maple bowl
Thanks!
I love the colouring technique...and as I watched I thought, ' oooer, a bit of purple would look lovely there too'....💙💚💙
Thanks, Dee! Yeah, maybe some purple next!
I have just started playing with intrinsic colours (sample set)and really liked the effect you achieved.. AND a beautiful bowl.. thank you
Thanks, Buster!

Ha! Thanks. I probably wasn't always that confident.
Very nice bowl Peggy ✌️✌️

If you get a bowl saver , get a one Way! They are great. I subbed.
Awesome, thanks!!!
Lovely piece of bowl.
Thanks!!
Great looking bowl very nice job 👍
Thanks!
Always enjoy your vids keep up the good work love the color you use also
Thanks, Joe!
As usual great informative video with a fantastic piece!
Thanks, Harry!
Wasn't sure about the green but you created another beautiful bowl. Very nice!!
Thanks, Todd!
Great video 💪thank you for sharing!🙏

Very good deno. Thank you. 😊
Thank you too!
Nice one Kim
Thanks!
Good Job peace out
Thanks!
Hope the New England fall is vibrant & beautiful for you... It was nice for you start out with a fairly round blank. A couple steps skipped made an end result much quicker.
Thanks! Yes, sometimes it's nice to use a blank that is already round!
Very nice!
Thanks, Stuart!
Craftsman!!
Thanks.
Great job, very nice! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Bobby!
👍,, thanks for sharing
Thanks.
I was thinking about a bowl saver for that grain. Awesome coloring technique. Just a thought: could you use a cabinet scraper on a turned piece while turning?
Thanks. Not sure about the cabinet scraper.
Really nice bowl, Peggy. The colors turned out great. The grain of the wood could have stood alone (like the inside) but you enhanced it.
Thanks, William!

I like that you speak softly and let your work explain most of what you are doing. Where do you get your large wood chunks at? They are beautiful pieces of figured maple!!
Thanks, Rex. I got this one at my local Rockler store.
@@PFWoodturning Is there a rockler store in clearwater or tampa? We are going there Wednesday and I'd love to see their store!!
At what notch do you you set the arm on you wolverine tool holder? Thx, Tom
The middle one.
Loved the color selection you chose for the bowl and the exterior shape. Then I watched you hollow out the inside and it looked like you stopped the depth about half way in before sanding. Was this an optical illusion?
Thanks, Derek. Must have been an illusion. I sanded the inside once it was hollowed. Might not have filmed it all....not sure.
Try putting the sanding sealer on after the colour, colour gets in the grain better. Nice job.
Thanks!
When sharpening do the sides first and then blend the in the tip
Thanks!
verry nice jobe but what kind of coller and were do you by it
Thanks. It's called Intrinsic Colours. www.hampshiresheen.com/
A very nice bowl. I like the coloring on the outside and natural inside. I wish I could see colors as you see them.
Did you leave the bottom natural or did you color?
Thanks, Jon. I left the foot natural.
I like this one a lot. Question, do you see any washing out of color over time, say a few months? I have some Artisan dies I use that tend to fade a little.
Thanks, Ron! No, I don't notice any fading.
A trick that I was taught was to use a Sharpie and color the cutting edge black prior to grinding. This will allow you to see exactly how you are grinding so that you can adjust as needed.
Michael Gross thanks for the tip!

Color before sealing
Mam I've worked around machinery my whole life so please believe me when I say it's a very bad idea to wear any rings or jewelry around the lathe while it's on other than that you do fine work
Thanks, Curtis! No more jewelry.
Not a big fan of the ddye on such a great piece of wood
Thanks!
love your video
but the way you hold your hands when sharpening needs to change. your lead hand should be below the jig. if the tool catches your hand will go down. if you hand is above the jig, guiding it from the tightening lug, you fingers will fall into the wheel with the tool if there is a slip off the wheel or a catch.
the two bloodiest accidents i have heard about so far are both from sharpening. with two fingers gone.
get safe. get that hand below the jig and learn to control it from there.
Ok, thank you!
People who turn at the lathe while wearing rings scare hell out of me! pottsy
Noted!
I have to admit I often don't take off mine either on the wood lathe. I do take them off when working with my metal lathe though, since I get a lot closer to spinning jaws etc there.
we think the stain looks horrible.
Thanks for the feedback.
Please take off your rings when working with rotating machinery. My wedding ring got caught 40 years ago and there is still a very visible scare, luckily I still have the finger.
Good tip!
I,am sure you are a good wood turner but for me a nice piece of maple is Spoiled by Staining. Hope you don't feel Offended but I have to be honest ...
Not offended…to each his own!
you do beautiful work but very boring to listen to your voice is very monotone which can put people to sleep
Thanks for watching!
Please, humor an old man, record the sound the tool is making when you’re working the wood. The sound a lathe and the piece of work make is just as important as your dialog. (Pontificating)
