Kim, Another very beautiful platter really liked the idea of using feathers great content & thanks for sharing your knowledge, skills, talents, & video with us.!.!.!. God bless & have a great day
Again Kim another beautiful place that is really gorgeous I like the way you did that with the feathers very nice doing what you’re doing you’re teaching me a lot because this is what I wanna do God bless you
That bowl looks great, and nice to see that some still use their starter kit chisels and not be put aside never to see the light of day again!! Gorgeous bowl👍
I love your Channel I've been a subscriber for a long time and I've seen every one of your videos I know it's going to be tough but you have inspired me to start my own channel and wanted to say thank you for being you
Fantastic bowl Kim very very beautiful and what a fantastic idea I have a bag of feathers probably about 6 months or more now and still haven't gotten around to doing this lol but after seeing this I must make a start thanks for the kick up the backside lol 👍👍👍
Beautiful bowl as usual. You mentioned the problem with the age of shellac. Even though it takes a little time to mix thoroughly, I have found using shellac flakes prevents me from buying or keeping old shellac. I just make what I need for several weeks worth of turning and make more when the time comes. It has also allowed me to experiment with the different pound cuts. Making finish is an art. Everyone has their own preferences whether glossy or satin. The journey is always enjoyable. Again, wonderful bowl.
Hi Kim that plate is Ace Just wanted you to know I did my first resin wood bowl thanks to your inspiration i've linked your channel to my video so everyone in the UK can see your amazing stuff Thank you again
I think this is a beautiful piece. I am a new Turner and can't wait to try something like this. Thanks so much for the video. I have been following your work for a while and I am impressed with your work and your info is very useful to a newbie like me. Thanks again.
I just tried your frenchies polish, what a fantastic finish. I used it on a white oak bowl not only did the finish have a very high shine but was so smooth it felt soft. Thank you for the recipe
Kim, you are a fearless turner. You continually surprise us with your approach and perspective. It’s a beautiful platter. Yes, love James Lee’s work. He’s a great turner and teacher.
Kim, you just keep getting better & better with your turns! If I may suggest, I would love to see you turn a walking cane. It could be turned in 2 parts and then joined together. Please consider doing!!!!!
Madame, Sie haben wieder einmal eine ausgezeichnete Arbeit geleistet! Das Video sind prima! Alles Wesentliche ist gut zu sehen und nachvollziehbar. Man lernt davon. Diese Schale ist wirklich gut geworden, obwohl ich mir den optischen Effekt mit den Federn intensiver vorgestellt hatte. Aber vielleicht lagen diese einfach etwas zu tief in der Rinne?
The more decorative duck, guinea fowl, pheasant feathers are all easy to get because all of those birds are farmed. I appreciate the extra mile you go in editing and explaining the process in your videos.
Nice work! I have seen where wood was removed from under the pour to allow light thru translucent die which would really pop your feathers. I finish most of my pieces with clear epoxy so sanding to 220 over a colored pour or inlay is all that is needed for a hi gloss finished. I then buff or sand down to get a satin finish if desired. Love your videos. I use a bbq motor to turn the lathe for epoxy finish to cure.
It’s minus 31 celsius right now. A good time to enjoy your video and be amazed at your creativity. Love your humour: « it’s like sanding abrasive hair ». Bless you. Toujours magnifique. Lévis
Hi Kim, I think it came out beautiful. Absolutely, beautiful. You did a wonderful job. You know, we're only human. If we were perfect we wouldn't be here. Please take care and God bless. Can't wait to see what's next.
Very nice Kim. I read an article about someone course experience with David Ellsworth recently, and one of the things they learnt from him, was to stand beside what your turning with the tool rest out of the way, and simply bend over at the waist so you can view what your working on as though it's sitting on it's base. This way you can see better the shape your working on how it will look when in the position most people will see it.
Just had an epiphany. The finishing mix your using, is almost French Polishing, I wonder how the finish would look if you went the extra step to use cotton wrapped around sheep wool. I think due to the Lanolin in the wool it would look even shinier and keep it even longer.
Hey Kim, looks gr8...so glad I woke to ur creation...u r such a talented woman...u make it look so easy....take care and blessing to u....and ur family....
Very cool. I haven't worked with resin with the lathe yet but have wondered about using it with feathers. I used to make different stuff with resin, like filling vases with various articles like stones, shells, glass beads, sand, pine cones and such; I even made some earrings with resin using spiders as the jewel - now those were interesting and sold like crazy! Anyway, I usually watch my subscriptions in order of placement on the subscriptions panel but saw this one and watched it first. Glad I did!
About all I can accomplish so far is bruises when the wood flies off the Chuck lol, I have a 4 jaw with flat flanges thought of putting a Welding bead ball at the tip in the middle, It'll make a tiny divot in the taper but I'm using frozen birch blocks I'm using a micro lathe it's fun though !
Happy Sunday Kim. What a beautiful piece!! I'm sure you already know this but just an FYI in case you do another piece with thin epoxy. If you apply heat with a heat gun to the epoxy it will get rid of your air bubbles so its nice and clear since you're not using a presure pot. You'll want to pour 1/4 inch, hit with the heat gun, wait for a minute or two and hit with the heat gun. Then pour your next 1/4 inch of epoxy and repeat the process with the heat gun. It's a tedious process but well worth the effort. If you have that stubborn bubble that just wont come all the way up, heat the tip of a sewing pin with a lighter and poke the air bubbles. Even if you may already know this, Hopefully this comment will help anyone else using epoxy resin in this way. Thank you for yoir videos and actually explaining your process. I just love watching what you come up with.
I like the finish and the ratios are informative. To be a bit nerdy and analytical about shine-juice proportions: OB Shine Juice (OBSJ) is generally 1/3 each Shellac, Denatured Alcohol (DNA) and Boiled Linseed Oil (BLO). Frenchie's is 60% Shellac, 30% DNA, 10% BLO--so just heavier Shellac, less BLO. Shellac works more at the surface as it is a waxy/resin that forms a super thin barrier/coat when the DNA evaporates. For this reason shellac is often used in more diluted form as or in sanding sealer. It is very forgiving to apply and maintain but is also alcohol soluble so if the final product is something like a coaster for alcoholic drinks, or furniture that will get heavy exposure to abuse or touching/hand oils, the shellac won't be as durable as something like polyurethane because of the downsides of its positive attributes. But shellac is also easy to refinish if necessary. BLO is an oil so it penetrates the wood more to bring out the grain. It takes forever to cure when applied on its own and doesn't create much of a seamless "coating" like shellac (or poly, resin, laquer, etc.). Also, BLO is supposedly susceptible to spontaneous combustion as it heats when curing. Hence throwing away BLO-soaked rags is always fun--(I let them dry out on concrete and hope they don't catch fire!). The DNA in OBSJ/Frenchies is just the medium for the BLO and Shellac to mix so that application goes on smooth allowing the BLO to soak in and the shellac to spread evenly on the surface. Then the finish cures quickly as the DNA evaporates leaving a relatively quick-drying, glossy surface. Since Frenchie's is heavier on shellac, it builds a thicker shell/polishable layer with less BLO compared to OBSJ, but it still dries quickly b/c of the DNA component of the mix is the same. When applying on the lathe, the heavier/thicker portion of shellac will "build" more and provide a thicker/glossier (longer-lasting) finish than OBSJ. I'm sure Frenchie's is named after French Polish which is a super labor intensive application of MANY layers of shellac and very small amounts of oil via a cotton-stuffed wad of cheese-cloth resulting in an incredibly lustrous finish... Anyway, that and $1 will buy you a pack of gum. :) Nice piece as always!
Beautiful platter. Love the feathers. Job well done.
Stay safe and healthy. Hope you are feeling much better. 😺❤🤗❤

Great job Kim. Love the platter.
Very beautiful ! Like everything you do in life,you get what you put into it
So true!
Beautiful bowl.
Thank you, Harry!
GREAT project and video. I especially like that you tell what tools/finishing products you are using! !! !!!
The more decorative duck, guinea fowl, pheasant feathers are all easy to get because all of those birds are farmed.
I appreciate the extra mile you go in editing and explaining the process in your videos.
Yes!! I hope to get some guinea fowl within the year, maybe I will have another project with the feathers when I do 😁 Thank you 🤗🤗🤗
Very, very nice‼️😎
Thank you 🤗🤗

Thank you, CJ!
Absolutely beautiful design. Wood has amazing grain and colors. Resin looks fantastic ❤️
Thank you, Maddie!
Kim loved the platter. I wanted to tell you on your 2 inch sanding disc use a sand eraser to clean them last almost for ever.
the platter came out real nice kim. good job!
It’s a beautiful piece. Thank you for another beautiful awesome video Kim. Have a great day.
Thank you, Patrick! You too!!
looking good kim keep up the good work that what Mack us arts is try new thinks
That is right! I hope I will always push myself outside of that comfort zone. Thank you!!

Beautiful platter!
Absolutely beautiful platter Kim. Thanks for sharing.

Amen to that! Thank you so much, Jeanne! God bless!🤗🤗
Nice job Kim 👍
Thank you 🤗🤗
Kim. I use feathers too. I dip them in sanding sealer first, dry and put them in resin.
Great job, Kim. One wants to say that the plate is as light as a feather!
lol. Thank you!! 😁

well worth the time Kim, nice job...
Awesome job Kim, enjoyed the video! very informative. I'm definitely going to give this a try!
Beautiful platter, Kim! I completely agree with you regarding sanding/wet sanding vs abrasive paste for that glassy result. Great video.
Hey Kim, looks gr8...so glad I woke to ur creation...u r such a talented woman...u make it look so easy....take care and blessing to u....and ur family....
Blessings to you , Mike! Thank you!!
Nicely done great shine
Another stunning result Kim......looks great. The work really pays off on the resin when you get that level of shine.
Beautiful work!!!
Very nice job Kim

Thank you much, Jake 🤗🤗
Awesome awesome awesome!!!!!
Very nice result. Am hitting Hobby Lobby tomorrow for a few things. Hoping to see stuff that will give me some ideas. Like this project .
Very cool ,Nice plate
Thank you. 🤗🤗

I like the reference to II Cor 5:17 keep reading to the end of the chapter, the news just gets better.

Great job. I love this.
Una hermosa artesanía mucho amor a su trabajo gracias por mostrarlo
Kim it's a beautiful platter!! Have a blessed week!!
Thank you Susan! You too!!
Very nice,, thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching!!
Good to see you back on the lathe. I wish I was half as good as you with the bowls. Love the wood and resin combo. Great job
Thank you, Phillip! Keep turning and learning. Give yourself grace to learn and grow. It will happen!
A very creative idea! The Platter turned out great! Thank you for the tip on the paste and the shine juice! I'll start using them both!
Thank you for watching, Mr.BoDawg 🤗🤗
