HI stewart that was one awesome bowl finished beautiful. weldone.
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for commenting. Cheers!
Love the colour of that bowl. Almost natural. Best combination of stains yet. You made the whole process of turning that platter bloom very simple and do- able. Thanks.
Thank you very much, Helen! Some wood just needs its grain popping!
I like that, the grain looks awesome how there's a big contrast between.
Thank you! Glad you like it. Cheers!!

Mike
Thanks, Mike - glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
Very nice Stewart I will have to get into colouring
Thanks, Alan - you should! Have fun!!
Nice looking bowl 😀😀
Thank you! Cheers!
Yaaay live streaming, looking forward to it, anything mixing your creativity and colour will do for me :). We are glad to see you back in the workshop too and with a nice classy platter!
Cheers, Stuart!! Hope to get my livestream going next week at the latest...
@@stewartfurini I've no idea how, but you can upload an 'advert' for the live stream on YT with option for viewer to set a reminder. Martin Saban Smith and Emma Cook do it and really helps to make sure I don't forget it.
Very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Welcome back buddy. 👍🏻
Keep turning and turning and turning.
Thanks, will do!
I look forward to your live stream and wit. May the Gods of Colour be with you.
Cheers, Tom! Hope to be streaming soon!
Didn't realize you'd been ill, Stewart. Glad you are feeling better! Lovely piece and looking forward to the live stream!
Billy
Cheers, Billy! Glad you liked this one - and thanks again for the shout out!
Beautiful as always!! Thanks for sharing, your talents with us. Live streaming..COOL!! I was sick for most of Feb. I know what its like, glad your better and back turning and coloring. 😃
Thanks, Holly. Sorry to hear you were sick. Hope you are fully recovered now. Take care. Cheers!
Stewart Furini all better now, and enjoying the freedom to be in the shop more often. Thanks 😊
That is a beautiful piece Stewart. I really need to try to do some coloring. Looking forward to your upcoming live stream. That’s right, I stayed till the end :-)
Thanks, Dan! Glad you made it through to the end! Hope to see you on the live stream
I'm loving the more transparent coloring as opposed to the paints that you were using. Nothing wrong with them, I just like the stains and natural pieces better. This one is beautiful. Thanks
Thanks, Doug - the grain in this wood needed to be seen not be hidden by paint! Glad you like it. Cheers!
Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and creative talent. I am a 🇨🇦 woodturner and think your work is divinely inspired. Please keep up the excellent work. Best regards S
Awesome, thank you, Shane! I hope one day to make it over to the States.....might happen!
I like your bowel great colour Brian
Thanks 👍
Very rich color. ❤️ As to live broadcast, any technique(s) you choose will be fun to watch!
Thanks, Valerie - yep, you know me well, I'm sure I won't be able to limit myself to one technique ;) Cheers!!
Very nice, Stewart! Looking forward to a livestream!
Cheers, David - hope to get onto it soon...
I love the way the black 'undercoat' makes the grain pop and the gilt wax enhances it further. Look forward to the live stream and hope that you will post it so we can watch it later as well. Many thanks for sharing your skill. Stay healthy and safe.
Garry not Linda. I second what Phillip said about posting later. I don't have time to watch a long live stream in one shot. If I may I also would suggest that if the stream is to be on a topic such as coloring with dyes or airbrushing a bowl have pieces ready to go and dispense with turning the piece. It's not that I'm not interested in turning a bowl or goblet or what have you, if the topic is painting a goblet with a 4 inch roller, let's get on with it then. OK, I'm being facetious but I'm really there for the topic as advertised other functions are really off topic. I've been a recent subscriber and really love your work.
Thanks, Philip - yep, it will be available later - I've watched a few 'live streams' this way myself!
Thanks, Garry - with you all the way.....most of my demos start with a turned and sanded platter with the back finished and we get straight on with the colouring and texturing. Cheers! And thanks for subscribing!! Much appreciated.
Hey Stewart. That’s a keeper. Count me in,for the live stream. Thanks
Cheers, Steven! Hope to live stream in a week or so....
Getting caught up on oldies. That came out looking a lot like mahogany Stewart! I love the contrast from outside to inside. It's very sharp but it works very well that way. Thanks for sharing your creativity with me again. Stay safe, Vickie PS as you can tell i like to talk. I simply don't know how to just say... good job lol
Thank you! Cheers!
That is amazing colouring brother ! You done such a beautiful work ! Will be great idea to make a live streaming ! I dont know what I know that colours need time to dry ! But no problem I will do my best when you do it to watch it all !!! Have a great week brother !!
Thanks, Kostas! Great to hear from you and I hope you can watch the live stream when I get it going. Have a great week yourself. Cheers!!
I'm glad your feeling better Buddy! Nice job on this one Stewart as always. As to suggestions fo a live... as long as it has bold colors and natural wood, maybe some black or lace or whatever, well then I'm a fan! I'm really looking forward to the live👍
Cheers, Steve! I hope to tick some of those boxes...if not all of them
Well came out a treat Stewart and you stopped putting colour on,got some finishing oil not used it before I'm going to have a go after watching your video 😉👍👍
Thanks, Barry 👍 The oil works brilliantly! Give it a go. Cheers
WOW!
Cheers, Trevor!
Beautiful piece (blatter?), Stewart. This one is a keeper. I was thinking in the beginning that it would be a shame to cover that grain but you enhanced it and made it even better. Also glad you're feeling better. Billy Burt didn't mention it below but he gave you a shout out in his latest premier and video. Stay safe and keep well. Bill
Many thanks, Bill! I saw Billy's call out, much appreciated. Glad you liked this one. Cheers!
That’s a lovely piece. Love the colours. As for the live stream thing, I never seem to find the time to watch them....👍
Cheers, David - I know what you mean about finding the time!
very nice ;)
Thank you! Cheers!
Hello Stewart, Spot on!
For the live stream, it's al good. It depends on the time available and the complexity of the work, but possibly reverse the areas coloured; the bowl but not the rim. Or, make the rim deeply concave and the centre convex, maybe with a finial centre handle, (cake stand style). Or possibly incorporate metal leaf into the top or base. Or colours and plain sepated by beads. Or a double sided platter. Or going back to the boss earlier, make it a box that hides the real goodies from the lesser goodies in the trough around the edge.
Regards, Glenn. :-)
Cheers, Glen! That would be some epic livestream! Thanks for the ideas and hope to see you there!
Oh good, now I can consider myself a good pupil... I did watch until the end and am quite excited about the live streaming prospect. Although watching the live streams as I do and trying to catch up with the regular posts of people I follow can take up a pretty large part of the day if I am not careful.
ANYWAY: The answer to the question - How about a live "taping and colouring" session, or a "airbrush colouring" session. Not many of those around but I'm not sure how drying times would impinge.
Back to the subject of today... rather lovely and pretty elegant in its simplicity of technique. Just shows that I don't have to go mad to get results that can look striking.
Well done, John - you can go to top of the class! I am thinking of doing something with the aribrush, and stains dry quite quickly, so that may well be what gets done....
I was surprised that this ended up looking brown as opposed to red. It's still gorgeous with the grain showing through. As for the live stream? Sounds fun, although I have a hunch that I'll miss the "live" part as I'm in the US. 😉💜
Thanks, Tracey - the colour sometimes gets a bit messed up in the shots - should have got my white balance sorted out....I hope to do the livestream when it will be daylight in the US....Cheers!
A lovely bowl, with beautiful contrast between the colour and bare wood. Would you be able to do a textured colour rim bowl on your upcoming live stream perhaps?
Great suggestion! It's on the list, though I might start off with some airbrushing.
I could listen to you all day long. I really enjoyed your narrating on the video.
Perhaps I could call every night and you could read my kids a bedtime story...😃
Wow, thank you! Perhaps I should branch out to the story-telling business.....any requests?
@@stewartfuriniThere's a demand for clearly, well-spoken people for dictating audiobooks. The audiobook industry is increasing.
@@susanp.collins7834 Thanks, Susan...might give it a go, then! Cheers!!
Lovely Stewart. How about some texturing/carving for the live stream with colour of course!
Cheers, Rachel - some texturing should be easy to incorporate - and, yep, colour too!!
Hi Stewart
That took me back in time, the colour and finish reminded me of an upmarket toilet seat, probably Harrods, certainly not school because it was so cold back then the toilet seats were used for firewood.
Nice looking bowl/platter but not one for my collection BUT just after 9.15 minutes into the video the sanded back black looked lovely and I think if you had gone possibly down the Silver Gilt Cream route it would have looked stunning with a couple of bursts on the lathe of Cut & Polish followed by Chestnut Microcrystalline, but what do I know?
Glad to hear you're doing live streaming, really look forward to that.
Cheers Roger
Hahaha...not sure how I'll ever see this as anything other than a loo seat now! I do like your silver gilt cream suggestion......Cheers!
I can't believe you are comparing Stewart's bowl to a toilet seat, good thing he didn't go through the bottom. 😂😂
Eres el rey de los👍🇪🇦 colorines
Thank you, Andres! Glad you like it. Cheers!
I was hoping for a slightly redder red, but the gold saved the day. The natural wood in the center actually seemed to have a gold tinge itself, perhaps that's why it worked so well.
Glad you're feeling stronger, more videos for us!
Maybe not live stream material, but what started your interest in wood color in the first place?
Cheers, Bill - glad you liked the gold. I would have liked a stronger red too, but sometimes the colour of the wood affects the colour of the stain. I've had some ash pieces where I've got a deep red glow, but not this time...
Would certainly be interested in a live stream. How about some ebonising lacquer with gilt cream or is that too simple.
Yes some do listen on.
Thanks, Martin - maybe a bit too straightforward for me!
Thanks stuart, I’ve got some Chestnut stains in the shed (somewhere).... for the live stream, how about a milk paint or crackle finish demo??
Nice idea....the problem with the crackle glaze is the time it takes to happen. Would have to do some preparation pieces for this but I'll certainly consider it. Cheers!
Lovely Stewart. What stains do you use. Live streaming sounds interesting, I hope I can make it!
Thank you! Cheers! The stains are spirit stains from Chestnut Products
Hi Stewart, love this latest piece. One thing puzzles me though about your work. How to you keep the headstock clean? Mine looks like it’s covered in camouflage paint.
Hahaha....I guess I've got better aim??? Actually there is quite a splatter if black and white on mine....
No, I definitely didn't watch the black screen at the end. I mean, why would I?
Lovely piece, the subtle colour really accentuates the grain which was delightful. Cheers!
Cheers, Pete! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Stewart, having watched a few of your vids, you've got me wanting to have a go!! If I start with Chestnut spirit stains, would you recommend the starter pack of all 9 colours in 30ml bottles or getting a few of the 250ml bottles? Or, possibly, would you recommend something else? Thanks
HI Richard - I started with a sample set as it was a great way to get all the colours at a reasonable price. Have fun!
A lovely and fine blatter. Quite pleasing. I am not a fan of this 'blatter" as a word for this after checking the dictionary this morning. I do wonder what factor was at play with the slow absorption - sanding, wood density, wood dryness, wood species, grain direction, etc. I have too seen this effect when over sanding. As a sandologist from only the best schools, I do love a 600 grit feel. On the odd day you may find me gritting and grinning over 1000. Gosh, I love the red on black. I would not have added the second coat of red but after you did it, I was like, whoa, that is exactly what it wanted. Could you do something on the transition edge between front and back? Perhaps I am too particular on getting a sweet and straight line between the two spaces?
Cheers, Michael - thanks for your comments! Glad you like it...this was a while ago and I'd almost forgotten that a friend of mine said it reminded him of a toilet seat!! Friends, huh...!!
@@stewartfurini Makes me want to see your friend's whole house given they have such a fine dumper-bumper to make such a comparison. Maybe a new business for you: Preeminent Purveyor of Pretty Painted Potties.
@@michaelmcnally You might have something there....an eco alternative to plastic for sure!
Beautiful and great video! I cannot get Chestnut products in the USA. Do you have an alternative for the paint/stain that I can acquire here? Exactly what are they oil based? Thank you for sharing your talent!
Thanks, John - I think you can get the stains from here in the USA: www.woodturnerscatalog.com/p/148/6338/chestnut-Spirit-Stain
They are alcohol based stains. I have only used the rainbow colours, not the wood colours. Cheers!
Thank you Stewart!
Live streaming eh? Sounds good. Do you have any olive wood left as supplied by our mutual friend in Sami? Love to see you turn that (miss the smell).
Cheers, Mac - yes, I do have some left....must do something with it as I've had it over a year!
hi Stewart , not a fan of coloring , but it seems that it is becoming popular , I think if that was the only blank I'ed got, I would have drilled out the knot holes and put in wood plug ,,. You usually colour then take it off ,this time you have finished it,,. Really like the finish but the knot holes draw the eye ,,. I subbed ,,.I want to see what's next ,,.Regards Alf
Cheers, Alf - thanks for your comments and for subbing! Hope you get some thing from my other videos.
Stewart, is it typical to have a black base to start with, whether it is paint or stain? Is there a particular purpose for it? Thanks.
Hi Joseph - for this technique, the black helps to emphasise the grain more. I did a rippled maple bow a few months back where I didn't use black, and you can see in that piece how the grain isn't as prominent due to not having black put on first. For the ones I use acrylic paint on, the ebonising lacquer provides a nice canvas to work off with colours. Cheers!
At the "second coat" statement (10:02 in video) did you let the 1st coat of red dry, then apply the 2nd coat. or did you just apply the 2nd coat right after the 1st coat??
Hi - it had a few minutes between coats only
Hi Stewart, Beautiful as ever. Airbrush would be good for me. I've had one for about 2 years and it is still in the box so any help in how to use would be great. Take care Stewart. Cheers, Huw
Cheers, Huw - I'm almost certain it will involve airbrushing - what sort of airbrush have you got?
@@stewartfurini Is it ok if I PM you with a picture?
@@WoodenItBeNice sure no problem
@@stewartfurini Cheers. I'll send in the morning
live streams too ?
Hope to do one soon.....
Lovely bowl. Platter. Blatter. Whatever.
Thanks, D L!
Yes I was, and I would like to see some hollowing with an explanation about how to present the tool to the wood and how to set the gap, mine keeps grabbing, giving me the heebegeebies.
Jonathan, when I started turning the first thing I did was take a course up at Craft Supplies in Miller Dale, Derbyshire. That version of Craft Supplies has gone, the name now belongs to Robert Sorby.
My advice these days is to look for a club, big list and map of where they are in the UK then go to the AWGB website www.awgb.co.uk/clubs/ Another suggestion is to find your local woodturning supplier and ask them. If you want to contact me then ask Stewart where to find me.
Cheers, Jonathan - I'll put it on the suggestion pile. Thanks for commenting!
Good advice - joining a club really helped me with my turning when I was starting
Sorry Stuart it reminds me of an old toilet seat.
You ain't the first to thing that...and I know exactly what you mean.....didn't see it myself until a good friend pointed it out!
I like much of your work - but, apologies in advance - this one reminds me of a toilet bowl seat. Really sorry but . . .
You're not the first to say that - and I know exactly what you mean!!
