Woodturning a Celtic Knot Bowl

- Woodturning with resin - a different method. This is a wood turning video, but also shows some close up router work. I use my router to cut out a Celtic sailor’s knot pattern, pour in some resin, and then make a bowl. This bowl is a little bit out of the ordinary, with an undercut wide rim, inlayed resin, and even some pyrography. I hope you enjoy seeing it made, as much as I enjoyed making it!
At the end of this video, 13:20, the alternate winner for the Rosewood Bowl Giveaway is selected. That person does not have any contact information on their TH-cam channel, so I need them to contact me by Sept 19, 2018 via email with an address I can mail the package to.

You did it! I admit it, I squeeled in joy when I saw the thumbnail in my updates and saw Celtic knotwork in resin. I think I hit the button a bit too fast because I don't remember seeing the knot work around the edge lol. I pleasant surprise to me.I'm glad to have inspired you and the piece spoke to you. I, myself, am not a woodworker though I love it. I've not done Celtic knot work but heard from those that have that its complex and does challenge a person. This piece is a true work of art. (your pieces usually are ...but I'm partial to this one ;)
I really enjoyed this one, so thanks again for your previous comment/idea! I'm really glad you enjoyed it 😁

Your videos help me a lot when I’m in a foreign country from my heart thank you so much
@@RHumphrey This is an absolutely beautiful piece. Congratulations! You just earned yourself a new subscriber 😁 Also, just out of curiosity, how does one go about getting into woodworking and woodturning? I watch so many of these videos and have never really figured out what I want to do for a career (I'm almost 21, got my AA but stopped there), and I've always been very fascinated with different forms of art and creative processes. I love using my hands and don't mind getting dirty. I would love to know how to get into this as a career. Any tips?
There’s an old Native belief that for everything you create, a piece of your soul becomes a part of it. Perhaps that’s why you feel like you are a part of your art pieces? Beautiful bowl...
Thank you for that insight, Lynda. I think there's something to that... Much appreciated. 😊
I have to admit, I actually got chills down my back then my arms and legs at the end result after you completed the burning on the edge... You created a very beautiful piece of art. Functional and gorgeous. Just absolutely amazing! 💗
The colors contrast is awful. If wood would be a bit reddish or orange, the visual impact would be great
Yes Lynda ... particularly when working with symbols as here ... it's called sigil magik
For anyone who creates, art is part of us, and part of our souls. This is a beautiful piece that I have no adequate words to describe with.
You're very kind, thank you!
This product is absolutely amazing! The amount of detail that you so painstakingly put into it is so beautiful. I see the Shekinah Glory of God in this bowl. It is an absolute work of art! You should be very proud of yourself for building this. If you sold this whoever was able to buy it is very lucky. They now have in their collection of Rembrandt. Thank you Mr Humphrey for sharing everything that you do. I am in awe by this bowl!
That’s fantastic. It’s always a pleasure to watch a skilled craftsmen at work.
Thanks very much! 😊
Ur voice actually sums up the "story telling". You took me back in time, to the future and back to the present. In short, impressive work!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I have had the honour and privilege of working with Irish bog oak that's thousands of years old and there's a spiritual quality to each piece that can't be put into words. I just know I'm dealing with something truly precious and a lot more besides. The souls of hundreds of departed have probably touched what you are creating and your genius is unparalleled. Keep it up good sir. You have hundreds of subscribers but none of them are on here.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate your words. I can't imagine working with actual Irish bog oak, an honor and privilege indeed. This is a younger wood, but you very well may be right... It remains a very special piece in my collection.
I've never commented on a video, but I just want you to know how much your videos mean to me. Thanks for all the time you put in, you're giving a lot of people happiness, thanks mate.
You're comment means the world to me, and I'm humbled. Thank you!
Absolutely stunning piece!! I would love to purchase a bowl like that. Your passion definitely shows in the beauty of your work. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I would buy some too!
I don't subscribe to many channels on TH-cam. I tend to gravitate to quality over quantity. When I do subscribe it's because I see the passion each has for what they are doing and their love for it. You are a fine example of that.
Wow!!! A museum piece!!! Gorgeous work, fellow Jarhead!! You inspire me to try wood turning!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Leatherneck!! Give it a try and you'll become quickly addicted tot he craft... in a very good way, the inner rewards of turning/making are hard to describe, but very worthy.
The knot represents unity and strength, so therefore your heart and soul was naturally tied to this project and the beauty and detail has shown through.
Thank you Michael, I appreciate that very much! 😊
Wow, I congratulate you on a wonderful piece. As a British born I can tell you now that any Celt would be proud to own that bowl.
Thank you for sharing your outstanding craftsmanship.
The feeling one gets when you lose yourself in your craft creating a piece of art from concept & watch it come to life before your eyes is the ultimate reward.
Keep up the awesome work. 👍 🇺🇸
Thank you, very well put and I completely agree!
I love Celtic Art and this bowl was incredible! I can feel your passion and it shows in the excellent work you do!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I love sitting around on a Saturday night with a glass of wine and enjoying this....thanks, so fun.
Thank you very much!
Holy, moly, guacamole sir! What a craftsman you are.
Thank you very much!
First time I’ve your work and I must say you’re an incredible artist! I plan to start wood turning so I’ll be on your page often. I too am a Marine and don’t hesitate doing new things. Thank you for sharing your passion.
Welcome aboard, brother! I hope you fall in love with this craft just as I have! Semper Fidelis!
This bowl is so very beautiful. And you can see the love you put into it just by looking at the finished product.
Thank you very much!
I find the more unexpected effort I put into any project; the more I like the results. I find the “errors” become character statements. Something I learned from my great grandfather while he wood carved. His old Sears Craftsman lathe (about 50 years old) is what I use. When I start getting more confidence and consistency out of my projects I’ll get something bigger and more stable. But, until then your videos and comments keep me in the garage trying new things. Thank you.
I appreciate your comment on many levels, but mostly that you're carrying on a family craft, and using an heirloom tool...wonderful!!! Confidence comes with doing just as you are! Thanks very much!
Tempest Luke - there is a Japanese view that embraces imperfections called *_wabi-sabi_* that is based on the Buddhist tenant of _impermanence._ I also enjoy pieces that have some flaw as they have more character than a _”perfect”_ piece would, so you’re not alone in that thinking !!
orion khan now I need to practice saying wabi-sabi. So when I say it people will think I know what I am talking about! Lol.
Thank for your follow up. It is always good to know that I am not alone in some of my thinking.
Man im brand new to all this wood carving and resin using and cant wait to start doing projects like this. You say that we inspire you but YOU are inspiring ME to start doing more. Thank you for the vids and you do amazing work! Keep it up and keep them coming!
Sir, I take my hat off to you. There are very few true craftsman around these days, that’s a great shame. I’m a retired carpenter/shopfitter who delved somewhat into furniture restoration so I do really appreciate your talent. The finished bowl is breathtaking in my opinion, long may you continue to make theses things of beauty👍👏👏👏
Incredibly fascinating to watch and hear you describe the processes involved in transforming a doubtful piece of lumber into a beautiful work of craftsmanship. Really glad I found your channel. Looking forward to your next piece.
Thank you very much, and welcome! More coming soon, assorted projects, mostly wood turning :)
Respect. My heart my eyes my soul are filled of joy. I love your artworks.
Thank you, I appreciate that very much!
I don't know how you ever let these go. Beautiful.
Thanks very much! 😊
I agree you can get lost when turning, very nice bowl too, well done 👍
Thank you very much!
I think what you were talking about at the end - How these projects make you feel - is how we all feel watching your videos...
OH. MY. GOD. That is the FINEST example of woodturning I have ever seen. I absolutely love Celtic art. You have just gained yourself a new subscriber.
Wow, thank you very much, Maria! I really appreciate that! Welcome to my channel! 😊
ASMR for the soul man.
Beautiful.
Much appreciated!
A wonderful skill, a real art. It is so peaceful to look at this bowl .
Thanks
Thank you very much!
even 2 years ago his commentary was still this good... what a refresher from all the no commentary turning channels
Very beautiful Bowl. I can't wait to see what comes next. Take care and have a great day
Thank you very much!
Now that turned out awesome!! I knew doing a Celtic knot would be hard but you made it look so easy. I guess a lot of that derives from the passion. Thank you for sharing
Thank you, much appreciated!

As an Irishman I'm delighted to see people use celtic knotwork in art, sometimes it can be a little easier to use knots where they don't quite run up to each line. To leave a small gap. This highlights the fact that each section of knot appears to go either over or under the next and would also be useful in wood carving. www.iconspng.com/images/celtic-knot-6-optimized/celtic-knot-6-optimized.jpg
@@BoyneShark thank you for sharing that. Something new to try!
I just watched this for the second time and got more out of it! Lovely!
What a beautiful work. You are an artist ! This is the subtle difference between someone that can create something beautiful out of nothing and someone that improve something copy something already beautiful, without creativity. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful bowl! Warm & brilliant. Thank you.
If you see your work as a poem then it is the best poem ever written.Thanks for posting.
OMG. Your passion shows and your work is always awesome.
cynda99!!! You're the winner!!! Please send me an email!!!
YAY!!! I received your e-mail and have responded, your prize will be in the mail on Monday 😁😁😁
The most beautiful bowl I have ever seen💕🇦🇺💖
Wow, thank you very much!! .😊
best woodturning bowl I've seen so far. Thank you from South Korea.
Hello Rod. I think this is your most creative work I've seen to date. You have a terrific imagination. My sister does free hand sketching/doodling and I've asked to to watch this and see if she can overlay a sketch and follow your method of bringing her sketch to life in a bowl of her own. Just amazing and beautiful.
Excellent, I'd love to see it if she does. Thanks very much, I appreciate that :)
It's beautiful and inspiring! I shared it with my son in hopes he may make one - thank you for sharing 🤗😊
Thank you very much!
I can deeply relate to your words towards the end of your video. I think, that many artists can, but I notice a difference in my emotional attachment between for example a digital drawing (what can take many hours, too) and working with natural materials. I don't own a lathe any more, but I carve wood and I love to draw on it with my wood burner. There are so many more senses involved next to just seeing your work; the feeling of the wood under your hands, the scent of it... It's an almost meditative work, even if you don't have anything but an exacto knive and a slice of wood.
I really love to watch your videos, and I especially enjoy the real-time takes. I would watch and enjoy 3 hour long real time wood working videos of you.
Thank you for sharing your talent.
Your passion most _definitely_ shines through... it is a *beautiful* piece that’s an obvious *_labor of love..._* I really dig the pyrography around the rim !!
Something I cobbled together that you may (or may not) want to try... at the local _”I’ll buy that for $1”_ type stores you can often find slightly milky, but mostly clear (we want the most transparent possible) bowls with a pronounced rim in various sizes. I’ve amassed a collection of various sizes which I’ve coupled with the airtight (not the cheap spongy stuff) automotive weather stripping, some mildly thick (5mm+) acrylic sheet, several hoses and fittings from my local hardware store (along with Teflon tape and silicon sealant) and (you might see where this is going) a $30 vacuum pump from the internet. Line the rim with the weather strip, cut a round (tho in some cases squares and rectangles help for _”things to attach rubber bands to”)_ of acrylic and epoxy it to the outside bottom of the bowl so it’s airtight, drill a hole through the acrylic and bowl for the hose fittings in the bottom, fit said fittings and hoses, little door-latch hooks can be handy for rubber bands to hold things down (again lots of sili-con-carne) et voila !! A relatively inexpensive vacuum chamber for inlaid/odd shaped/too large for a pressure vessel resin pours !! It is *_remarkable_* how frothy the resin gets when you first start to drop the pressure, so a little back and forth finesse is required to keep things going, but I’ve *_definitely_* noticed a _significant_ difference in the quality of the resin... the lack of teeny-tiny bubbles keeps the color closer to what I initially was going for.
Just thought I’d pass that along... it definitely adds a bit of _”The A-Team”_ and _”MacGuyver”_ to my time in the shop !!!
I appreciate the tip, and the time you spent passing it on 🙂
nice job again ! your voice is so calm ! i like that
You've retired from the fast paced world outside into the solace of your workshop. In doing so, you have paced that fast paced world to a pace that it can never match. For there is no match, ever, for the Infinity of inner artistry, as expressed without, in such passion; in such unbelievable workmanship. I'm not a wood worker. Yet, from your tasks, I've drawn life lessons. Thank you. I shall cherish this video; this lesson. God be with you in your labours.
Thank you very much for such a thoughtful and beautiful comment!
Nice! I am really glad I discovered your channel!
Thank you very much Dimitri!! In turn, I'm glad too, because now I've found you too! Just subscribed to you! 😊
bang tidy bowl design and fantastic control of the router mate I use them often and they are not easy to use in such a small design and depth of cut you had, new subscriber well impressed it looks fantastic, cheers Ross
Thank you very much for that, it is a challenge! Cheers!
Absolutely stunning. This design links you to craftsmen like you well over a thousand years back. Not surprised you are emotional about it.
New subscriber, but I immediately became an avid fan! Your work is brilliant.
Thanks very much, Beth, I really appreciate your interest and support! 😊
Absolutely stunning ! I certainly see that you got passion for what you do, it shines through. Thank you for sharing your creativity. What a talent you got !!! New subscriber, I’m here to stay and look forward to all the new projects. 🥰🙏👏👏👏
Thank you very much! Welcome to my channel! I appreciate your sub! 😊
You bring out what the Wood says to you...that's your Artistry! Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
turned out beautiful, I was moved.
Thank you Clifford, I appreciate that!
Beautiful piece of art.
Thank you!
Your work is the pinnacle of susses, I absolutely love your Celtic bowl. X
Thank you very much!
Wow!!!..Man, that is stunning work!! Just got a jab of the goose bumps such is the stimilus this work has provided. It must be the celtic spirits here in Ireland calling out. Thank you Mr for a wonderful woodturning project, thats just given me a world of ideas for my own shop. Thank you again, man I am pumped. Off to me workshop now. Greetings from the Emerald Isle.
Ps...just sub'd & that little bell is set!!
This is my most favorite of all wood/poxy resin DIY tutorials. I love Celtic Knots second only to Crosses.
Do you sell what you make?
Thank you very much, I appreciate that! I'm in process of setting up an Etsy store. This particular one won't be for sale though 😊
I'm a classical composer and I understand your feelings. The pieces you create become a living part of your imagination. It's hard not to let emotions shine through. What an amazing art piece! Thanks for sharing🖤
You sound a bit like an american Alan Rickman!
Beautiful work!
Potter! 🙂 Thank you!
This is so cool! I want to get a lathe
Thank you very much!
Your comments about possible problems of failure clearly was Wabi Sabi. Your final comment about how you felt about our experiencing the whole process is clearly about you and your work as commented in the spirt. Thanks. Glad I come across your links.
Beautiful, artistic, amazing........................
Thanks very much! 😊
Brother you do damn good work, I am subscribing
Thank you Rick, I really appreciate that! And thank you for subscribing too! 😊 I put out new project videos every Friday.
I’m stealing this, lock, stock and barrel. It’ll be a gift for my talented brother who’s a singer/songwriter in a Scottish folk band. He’ll be ecstatic to see it. I was super excited to see the central knot plus the pyrography. Superb, 5*****.
What an absolutely beautiful piece 🏴
Much appreciated!
R Humphrey you’re more than welcome sir🏴
That is absolutely beautiful❤️❤️❤️ Do you sell them? If you do I like to order one 😊
Thank you so much! This is a one of a kind, I haven't considered doing another like it, though I've done other knots. I appreciate your interest though!
Not crazy! You put a lot of yourself into your amazing work, and it shows. Your passion makes them genuine
I can Help You "Explain" It.
It's called ETHNIC Pride..
Liked, Shared, AND Subscribed!!
Thank you very much for all three actions! I really appreciate your interest!
Wow. I have nothing more to say.
Thank you very much!
Your passion is demonstrated in your work, your narration, and the finished piece. It is our pleasure to peek into your shop and your life. I love that you persevered on this bowl. What a beauty!
Very nice! That is one of the best looking bowls I have seen. Router work, wood burning and wood turning . Unbelievable creativity.
Brilliant work. Well done.
I gotta say, i watch alot of wood working videos. You are my far my favorite. Yoi strike me as a very genuine and humble man. Keep up the amazing work and videos.
Thank you, Jeffrey, I appreciate that very much!
@@RHumphrey thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents.
What a beautiful project. I really appreciate you talking the viewer through the ups and downs of your process. Your insight and willingness to share is what inspires me. My husband and I are just beginning our journey with wood turning, and we look forward to learning from you. Thanks again!
"It sounds funny to say..." Well, it does, but then anyone who does anything like this understands that sentiment. And it's genuinely a lovely thing. Beautiful.
You are a very fortunate person to be able to do this work. I have for years wished i could do this. Beautiful bowls.
Your work is fabulous! I know nothing about the process, but am an artist and can understand the love that you put into your creations. Oh, my, they are lovely. Thank you for sharing your work with us!
Compliments from artists are always appreciated! Thank you very much!
I know that feeling that you're talking about at the end of this video. And I want to sincerely thank you for sharing this with this gift with all of us.
Thank you Joshua, I'm glad you understand the feeling. I appreciate that very much!
This is the second time I have watched you make the bowl. I'm a little bit Irish so I love the bowl and your creativity in making it.
Beautiful. I love the Celtic knot. Thank you for sharing your talent and your art with us❣️
What a magnificent idea. Surprising you could rout that deep so accurately and surprising you didn't have trapped air at the bottom. Hats off to your patience.
I jut caught this and glad I did.
Cheers,
Lee
You're a consummate professional. Your articulate explanation of the process is highly regarded. Your work is exquisite. Thank you!
That's was bad ass! I love you vids man me and my great grandfather used to wood work in his basment.hes gone now I'm still here and he had a lathe he had a whole shop but it effected my life when I was a kid because I'm the only grandchild who took after trade work now I'm a welder and I love it rock on man!
Sounds like great memories, thanks very much for sharing them with me. Rock on brother! Thank you!
Wow, that is breathtakingly beautiful, thank you for persevering and sharing. I am honoured!🙏🤗
Now that is a fantastic bowl. over 2 years since you posted the video and its still getting great reviews.
It's good to know there are so many other turners out there who share the same passion - your bowl is a work of art - cant wait to watch the next one.
Excellent work. Watched it several times. I loved your comments and feeling about the work that you do. I have watched most of your work. They are all amazing. Take care.
Beautiful work, the truth is that it does not fail to impress me his skill and dexterity, to work the wood, the way he does.
Love the work! I know what you mean about the peace and solace of the workshop, I grew up in my Dad's machine shop where it was his escape. Enjoyed the video very much, thank you :)
This is awesome ! Strange how your art can slowly become a part of you and is reflected in ones piece. It is no longer just a bowl or whatever, it is for all intent & purpose part of you. Keep up your craft , Thanks again !
Absolutely brilliant, love watching you work. Even at 69 years of age I feel so proud for you.
You're very kind, thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I have turned one piece (successfully) which was a fairly simple yo-yo. My bowls, while serviceable, were never beautiful. Being able to listen to you talk through the process and the concern was helpful and enjoyable. In the next few months I'm moving my dad's lathe up to my shop with the hope of don't a better job. I'll be coming back to this specific video when I start getting anxious.
Thank you Tim, I appreciate that!
That bowl is spectacular!!! My Grandmother came from Ireland as a young bride. She would have loved it.
Well... I've watched countless amounts of your videos and I love your work... I hope to get into it sooner or later! It is just such a peaceful time and I love it without ever have doing it before.. and I must say its really your videos that have lead me to loving it... so yes I can say your passion has shown through!! Keep up the great work! Keep on keepin on!
that is awesome - i grew up in the maple leaf city - so that wood was of special interest to me. turned out great with the spiritual addition of the celtic knot
This man is so pure, we must protect him at all costs.
Oh my goodness that looks fabulous. It’s very beautiful. Thank you for sharing your videos with us all.
We have just found your channel, March 12, 2020 and we look forward to seeing all your videos.
This Celtic bowl is amazing, and the military carvings were outstanding.
God bless you, and thank you for sharing your talent.
I’m just learning to start turning wood thanks for showing me your work.
You're very welcome, and thank you! Happy turning!
This is stunning work. Thank you for telling the story. I'm glad the 40 grit worked!
I love Celtic knotwork & you Sir are a master at your craft!
It is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing your talent! You remind me of my late grandfather who loved woodworking and left a lasting respect of the art of woodworking.
Thanks very much, Nathan, I sure appreciate that!
