  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ธ.ค. 2024
  • Turned 15th - 20th December 2018, this weeks woodturning project was a sycamore and oak pedestal bowl.
    It was turned in two parts, both using Intrinsic Colours to dye the wood the required colours. The sycamore bowl was coloured using Earth, Honey and Flame colours whilst the oak base was coloured with black.
    The bowl was then finished with Hampshire Sheen Danish Oil, Pre-Thinned Sanding Sealer and then High Gloss Finishing Wax. The base was finished with Hampshire Sheen Black Embellishing Wax and High Gloss.

    You are a talented individual that is a beautiful beautiful piece that is something that I would purchase I love the color congratulations that years of understanding the blending of color , I came across your channel strictly by accident subscribed I really enjoy what you do and explaining it to us is part of the joy in understanding how the piece comes together thank you from us in the United States . I hadn’t realized this is a two piece process and while I’m at it I might as well add that only her you would tell her to turn it and come to realize you spend much more time creating unique colors blending the colors together amazing work my friend thank you again .

    I have 44-45 sites I subscribe to, that deal in wood turning, wood/epoxy, wood working,wood sculpturing and I must say tor channel is one of the top five. Your explanation of what your are doing, fixing/correcting mistakes (#95), and the use of coloring with different finishes. Overall good set to watch and learn from, thank you for a job well done.

    My lathe is too small to do much other than pens or much smaller projects, I did however appreciate these videos on the bowls and the finishes. I've not done any staining or coloring of the wood I turn - course at the Pen level exotic woods are not that hard to come by, so up till this point (about 4 years) I've just finished up "natural" wood. The oil treatment was fascinating - thank you for the lessons! Dave Roush

  • @ApexWoodworks
    @ApexWoodworks 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I very much enjoyed your lathe skills, Martin. However, is there any reason why you didn't put a sander/sealer coat prior to dyeing the inside? That would have evened out the coloured finish coat and left not so much of a blotched stain coat.

    • @msabansmith
      @msabansmith  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Marty. Good question. Yes, I want colour to penetrate as far into the wood as possible which would be inhibited by applying sealer beforehand.
      Hope that helps.
      Martin

    • @ApexWoodworks
      @ApexWoodworks 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey, Martin, I think you owe it to yourself to do a test to conclusively prove (or disprove) your assumption. The trick is to first sand down to P400 (just as you already do), apply the sander-sealer then do a light sanding of P400 again. What that then does is fill the more open pores but leaves the other, more "flat" areas open to the dye or staining which follows. I really encourage you to try this out, as I believe the results will be considerably more to your taste - yet allowing the dye or stain to penetrate where it needs to. I'd really be interested in how this procedure works for you.

    Hi Martin,
    May I first of all wish you and your family a very HAPPY & HEALTHY NEW YEAR.
    Another great video as always, do you ever get fed up of beeing sooooooooooooo good lol?
    My question is, I'm looking for a 'thin' 1 to 1.5 inch thick slab of either sycamore or maple.... a light wood without any heavy figuring in it! It's for a piece of Pyrography either for my wife or her church! Depending on it works out! Do you know of anyone who mills such piece's? I would prefer it to have the grain running the length of the piece, not a disc of the trunk if you know what I mean! From watching your video sycamore looks light in colour which would be perfect for Pyrography as you must already know! I've not burnt sycamore before but been told it's a dream to burn as long as it's dried/cured enough.
    Cheers, take care mate👍😉👌

    Sanding sealer over oil? Thought you put oil over sanding sealer. Please expound about this. thx.

    • @msabansmith
      @msabansmith  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oil is supposed (designed) to penetrate wood. If you seal it first, the oil cannot penetrate and may leave a sticky residue on the surface. Therefore, oil first for it to penetrate and seal over the top when cured. Also, if using an oil for a food-contact piece, it is not advisable to use any sealer at all and you are best advised to keep those items finished in a simple manner as possible

      Hi Bob. Thanks for watching. Can you drop me a line with where and when you tin was purchased and I'll look into it for you.
      Boxed sets of colours have been available from The Walnut Log for quite some time. They have a new order arriving on Tuesday which includes colours. And Wood World of Texas have had the range since last Autumn. I'm expecting to be shipping more over in the next few weeks.

      M. Saban Smith Woodturning Thanks, Martin. I bought a tin of both the normal, and High Gloss when you were at the woodturners symposium in Kansas City a year and a half ago. In fact, I met you at the booth. The stuff worked great for a few months, and then it just got caked up, dry, and unusable. Not sure how it happened since they have a nice airtight screw-on kid. Bob

      Thanks, Bob. That was when Jeff was making the product for me under license. There was at least one batch that was a bad one and suffered from drying out far earlier than it should.
      Jeff knows about the batch. If you contact him directly, he will be able to sort you out.
      There is a method that Jeff uses to rejuvenate his dry product. He may tell you the method.
      All Hampshire Sheen available in the US since July '18 is UK made product...which is made entirely by my own hands!

      M. Saban Smith Woodturning Well, I sent Walnut Log a note several days ago, describing my little problem, and no response. Then I remembered that I had sent them a note through their website about a year ago, shortly after buying the product, and never heard from them then either. I would have to say that your U.S. distributor's customer service is pretty lousy. I'll just write it off to experience. I sure wouldn’t buy anything through them again.

      That is disappointing to hear. I'll mention it to Jeff next time we speak. You can also buy from Wood World of Texas. They are stocking most of the UK made range.
