- Woodturning - well, here's the video for the bowl I posted some close ups of on Facebook last week. It's probably my favourite of all the ones I've done and is currently for sale at my Open House in the Brighton Artists Open Houses 2019 if any of you are in the area at weekends in May...
It took a while to come up with a name but I think this just about covers it! Check out my blog for more information: www.stewartfur...
Next weekend I'll be at Makers Central on the Chestnut Products stand - I hope to see lots of you there!
See me demonstrate at Chestnut Products Woodturning Weekender on 3-4 August 2019...chestnutproduc...

Since I started making these videos in 2017, I have been lucky enough to receive the support of some manufacturers with materials to use in my videos. Since May 2018, Chestnut Products have provided me with stains, an iridescent paints sample set, lacquers and waxes. I'd like to thank them for their kind and generous support. Martin Saban-Smith has provided me with a sample set of Intrinisic Colours.
All other products and tools, unless where indicated, have been bought from suppliers at retail prices. Products mentioned in my videos are for information purposes so that viewers know what I have used.

It was really great to meet and chat at Makers Central. What a lovely chap you are. Your pieces are even more beautiful in real life, they're such an inspiration - even if I do still sit here shouting "enough, enough already" at the screen! 😂
Hi Kathryn - great to meet you too. I'm pleased you've been able to see some of my turnings 'in the wood' as the pictures never seem as good as the real thing. I hope to keep you shouting 'enough' for a long time to come 😀
Love Love Love watching your videos! You inspire me to want to make dozens of different platters. Thank you Stewart. From an ex Brighton girl living in 🇨🇦!
Thanks, Jeanie! Delighted you like watching my videos and take the time to comment. Much appreciated! I've already done another version of this one, I like it so much. I guess you're living the dream in CA then - a bit warmer than Brighton and sunnier! I hope to come to US one day - the AAW symposiums look amazing!
Every time I watch one of your videos, I think, What is he thinking? But you always bring it all together. Amazing.
Thanks, Mark - glad you like it and doubly glad this one came together at the end. I'm looking forward to doing it again!
Nice shiny rim!
Thanks, Louise. Sometimes glossy is best!
absolutely brillliant. probably your best one yet. the contrast between the straight crisp lines and the blended colours from the airbrushed circles
Cheers, Alan - I was really pleased with how this one came out! Delighted you like it. Thanks!
Having grown up in the 60’s reminds me of a beautiful trip once ventured. 😇👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸
Thanks, Cortland - my own experience of that is just imagined....though a good friend who has tried ayahuasca found something that resonated for her in this one. Cheers!!
Now that is truly stunning Stewart, I agree with Jim, one of your best creations.
Cheers
Mike
Thanks, Mike! I was really pleased with this one...have had another go at it already, I liked it so much. I sense a series of them coming!! Cheers!
You never cease to amaze me... you have an amazing eye for design and somehow know just how far to take it, your level of execution is remarkable! Your ability to make us wonder if you have any idea at all what you're doing and then voilà... you make us wonder what we were thinking! Thank You for sharing.
Thank you, Steve. I like to think I normally know what I'm doing - but often it takes me time to work out WHY I'm doing it :) Cheers!!
Beautiful
Thank you - it's big-headed of me to agree with you? Cheers!!
Wow, absolutely stunning. A superb piece of work Stewart.
Cheers, Bram
Thanks, Bram! Delighted you like it. This one is up there as my favourite, for sure. Cheers!
Hello Stewart. You never cease to amaze me as I watch I think - He's go too far!!!! - but as usual not so. I think the bowl colours and finish are fantastic. Great Work to which I can only aspire to!!!
Thank you so much, Clive - there probably are times when I do go too far, but I was really pleased with this one! Cheers!!
Halfway through I was thinking "Oh no! What is he doing." Came out great. Another beautiful and original piece. Cheers!
Thanks, Karl....I often have that thought myself....I'm pleased I kept going with this one though. A personal favourite!
I must hand it to you, one of your best paint jobs ever. Like it very much!
Thanks, Robato - I'm really pleased with this one. Yep, it's my personal favourite, for sure!
Absolutely outstanding! Wow is the only thing I can think to say! Thank you for sharing your ideas,
My pleasure, Joe. Thanks for commenting - much appreciated!
Absolutely brilliant Stewart....See you Saturday..........
Thanks, Ian! Wish I could bring this up with me but it's in my Open House for sale....fingers crossed!
Fantastic work. It has a holographic 3D quality to it.
Many thanks, Simon - glad you like it! Cheers!
Its a beautiful bowl and shine.
Thanks
James
Thanks, James. I was really pleased with the finish on this one. Cheers!
Always a pleasure to to watch you do coloring and nice shine , sorry I can't make it to m,c, this year hope to see you in August at Chestnut show all the best,👍👍
Cheers, Barry! Shame about m.c. but hopefully the Chestnut weekender works out for you. Thanks for commenting - glad you enjoyed it.
WoW! Yep I agree, I think it is one of the best if not the best one you have done. The depth in the decoration is outstanding!
Thanks, John - yep, I think I have to agree with you...if that's not too big-headed!! Cheers!
Stewart, This is my all time favorite. I love it🥰
Thanks you, Bonnie...yep, it's top of my list as well...I'm really looking forward to trying out some variations. Cheers!!
Beautiful. One day I’ll own one of your pieces. *checks lottery ticket*.
Thank you, Suzi - a modest lottery win would more than enough - good luck!!
Purists be damned! You create beautiful pieces (of art). I love wood on its own but I also appreciate combinations of wood/metal/epoxy/glass & paint. Having worked in a major art gallery for twenty years I can definitely say your works are worth being displayed (if they aren't already). 👏👍
Wow, thanks, Ged - this has to be one of the most supportive comments I've received. I'm selling this in an Open House at the moment (if anyone buys it, that is!), but I'll definitely start contacting some galleries...Cheers!!
Wow, that is just gorgeous...love it!
Thank you, Carol....my feelings too! Cheers!
Fantastic piece! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and techniques. I really love it.
Thanks, Micheal - delighted you like. Thanks for commenting - much appreciated. Cheers!
Amazing!!!you are always an inspiration Stewart!
Thank you, Leyteris - glad to know you enjoy my videos and find them useful. Cheers!
Keep up the good work. So glad I found your channel!
Thank you, Doug! Glad you enjoyed the video and found my channel. Cheers!
Simply stunning.
Cheers, Alan - I'm glad you like it. I'm really pleased with it!
Wow! Colourfull, complex and intricate. It reminds me of stained glass windows for some reason. There seems to be no boundaries to your imagination Stewart, excellent outcome. And I would have to agree, it’s one of the best decorated pieces yet! Thanks for sharing this technique.
Thank you, William. It was great fun doing this and sparked some more ideas along the way which I might try out at Makers Central next weekend if I'm feeling brave/reckless enough! Thanks for your appreciation! Cheers!!
Fantastic, one of my favorites by far!
Wow, thanks! It's one of mine too. Delighted you like it so much. Thanks for commenting!
Truly one to which I can aspire!
Thank you! Have a go - it's great fun!!
Beautiful work Stewart, one of your best. See you next weekend.
Cheers
Jim
Thanks, Jim - looking forward to it!
Perfect the Bokeh bowl, as a photographer I love this one
Cheers, Phil! It was nice when my daughter mentioned this - reminded me of the evening we spent on Brighton seafront taking bokeh pictures of the lights of the town and the pier quite a few years ago now...
Great piece Stewart.
Thanks, Clifford. To say I was pleased with this one would be a bit of an understatement! Cheers!
Yes, that’s your best yet! Love it!!
Thanks, Maggie....glad you like it!
Absolutely fabulous!
Thanks, Stu! Delighted you like it. Cheers!!
Oh that is shiny 😀 an amazing bowl ❤️ it
Thanks, Miss Tee - I do like the occasional very shiny one!
Great bowl and a great video Stewart
After watching all of your videos I no longer keep shouting STOP no more because unlike all the other great artists where we only get to see the end result but with you we get to see the whole thing warts and all so thank you(If it sells please tell me how as I cant sell a thing)
Thank you, Graham - I'm glad the whole process is interesting and enjoyable to watch. If it sells, I'll let you know!
I agree that this is probably my favorite one yet from you! Such a masterpiece 🥰
Thanks, Redhead! Delighted you like it. Thanks for commenting - it means a lot. Cheers!!
That's very classy! I thought all those dots sent you dotty just before the 7 min mark. Thanks!
Thanks, Dale! Yep, you may well be right....but there's something quite endearing about being a bit dotty!! Cheers!!
Another fine project, the colours turned out very nice. Love it. Entertaining video. A joy to watch. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks, Rex - glad you enjoyed the video. Hope to keep entertaining you with the next ones. Cheers!!
another fine piece great job
Thanks, Wayne! Glad you like it. Hope to see you at Makers!
@@stewartfurini i hope to be there sunday
Hi Stewart, love your channel and have only just come across this one. It is a masterpiece and you should be justifiably proud. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you, David - this is a personal favourite of mine so I'm delighted you like it. Cheers!
Turned out vert nice.
Thanks, Greg - this has to be my favourite for sure. Thanks for commenting!
It was certainly worth the time and effort! Very beautiful bowl. 💜
Thank you very much, Tracey - this one was quite labour intensive, but worth it in the end. Cheers!
Son of a beech that looks beautiful lol . Got to be one of my favorites to . Great job .
Cheers, Glen - delighted you like it....it's definitely my favourite!
Well Stewart as you said I am not sure if you did or did not know what you were doing but it looks brilliant !!!. Thanks as always for sharing your great videos
Kind Regards
Col
Cheers, Col! I always have some sort of idea in mind...but this went beyond how I imagined it. Thanks for commenting!
A beautiful and inspirational Design.
Thank you so much! Delighted you like this one so much - one of my personal favourites!
Wow! That is spectacular! I love everything about it... I have often thought of myself as a wood purest but you are luring my to the dark side... Thanks for sharing the video... Oh and at 6:48 I was laughing out loud and cheering for more color! 😆
Ha ha, come on over, there's enough colour for everyone...Delighted you like it. I was really happy with this one....am happy with it....wonder if anyone will buy it....not sure I really want to part with it!
Hey Stewart
You looked like you knew what you were doing. Thanks for sharing.
Liked the process love the results, also my favorite piece.
Thanks for your faith in me, Steven! I'm contemplating doing this at Makers Central at the weekend....Cheers!
You often surprise me by getting me to like things I think I'm not inclined to. You've done it again.
BTW, at the first appearance of the red dots I thought you were developing a type of Rorschach test. Your comments at the end of the first day didn't dissuade me.
You do know that the wood purists were upset long before you got to the point where you mentioned it, you, you, you COLORIST you!
Thanks for a really fun video again.
Thanks, Bill - is there a 12 step programme to cure me of colourism? Delighted to have surprised you again. Hope I can keep on doing it! Cheers!!
Nice plate, I like the staining effect! Thank you.
Thanks, Texana - glad you like it. This is one of my favourites!
Love your work this one is a little ripper
Thank you, Mal - I love this one too!
Feeling inspired! Thank you.
So glad! Thanks, Christopher. This is one of my favourites, so I'm delighted it's given you some ideas. Cheers!
Very impressive technique!
Thank you, Arthur! This is one of my favourites. Cheers!
Put down the paint, you are having WAY too much fun!!! (LOL). Always good when you get results you like.
Indeed it is, Valerie! Plenty more fun to come!! Cheers!
I thought you were going to invite Eddie Van Halen to tea at the start with all those lines. lol Great to see the whole wet sand and polish process too, I don't think I have seen anyone cover that before.
Nice job as ever Stewart. I'll hopefully catch up with you next weekend at MC.
Ha ha....I'd better wait till I've given up my day job before Eddie over....Glad you liked the finishing details - I'm thinking of doing another one with cut n polish and burnishing cream to see what that's like....Look forward to seeing you at MC! Cheers!!
Lovely, i think it's got a kind of 3D effect to it
Thanks, Mart. I like how it has that look. The layers of colour really help to build that impression. Cheers!
Lovely piece. I can see now what you were repeating at Makers Central, Did you finish it? It was great to meet you at last. Hope you enjoyed the weekend as much as I did.
Hi Jane - great to meet you too! I had a fabulous weekend.....now feel like I could sleep for a week after all the excitment and the drive home late last night! I got the colouring part finished of the version I was making at Makers Central - just need to finish the turning and lacquering...Cheers!
Very nice Stewart! Did you consider colouring the inside of the bowl? I think it would have taken the piece to extravaganza! But just my opinion, because it is beautiful as is.
Love your work and enjoyed your work in Kefalonia. Thanks for sharing.
Dennis Beamish Cambridge Ontario Canada
Thank you, Dennis. I didn't think of colouring the inside of the bowl, though I have done a few pieces where I have. I've come to really like the contrast between natural wood and coloured wood. Kefalonia was great fun. It was a wonderful holiday and great to meet Kostas. I'm looking forward to turning the olive he gave me. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Bit blooming nice Stewart,wsa the answer to the question C???🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks, Alan! Yep, I'll take answer C as right (they were probably all right at some stage of the process!) Delighted you like it. Cheers!
Looks incredible. Who would guess you’re also an English teacher?
Cheers, Joshim. Hidden talents, I guess!!!
Stewart Furini 😊
I love it Stewart! BTW, would you mind sharing how long you let the lacquer dry before you began to wet sand and polished the piece? There's a lot of data on that process, but the concensous all seem to agree you should wait a minimum of three weeks. Looking at your process it appeared that you just waited overnight.
Thanks, MV
Thanks, Mike! Delighted you like it. I think the last coat of lacquer had about 36 hours drying time. It's acrylic gloss lacquer. I've not done any research about how long it's best to leave it before treating/abusing it like this. I know melamine lacquer takes at least a week or longer to fully cure. I'll have to be patient and leave one for three weeks to see what difference it makes! Cheers!!
Oh no, oh no! I really don't believe you did that.
That has to hit the national news now.
"Parents up in arms as school children have no stickers!"
Love watching your processes in doing these. Forget the texturing, you're clearly at your greatest pleasure when playing around with some colours. I bet you don't get socks for Christmas, all your family should know by now, just buy some colours.
Have to be honest in that I really didn't like the lines, that was until the still images came up. They look so subtle and really work well.
Have you thought about making a narrow lined stencil you can just hold above the work so that when you spray you don't get the sharp lines you get from when using something like masking tape.
Great job, I bet that's one of the first to sell on your open day.
Well done!
Thanks, Paul - I always enjoy your comments as you really engage with each piece I make and offer thoughtful points. I've had a suggestion of making stencils from ice cream lids that might do what you suggest....will have to give it a go. Cheers!
@@stewartfurini Thanks Stewart. I'd rather have someone honestly say they didn't like something rather than the standard Well done all the time. Don't have to be brutal, can easily just say not my cup of tea. Ice cream lids sound a great idea. Just lifting them away from the work piece should hopefully give those more subtle edges rather than sharp lines.
Hi Stuart, I’ve recently discovered your videos and have to say I’m really enjoying your work, especially this one. I’m relatively new to woodturning and your inspiring me to get some colours. Can I ask what stains/dies your using with your airbrushing, I’m assuming they are solvent based. Thanks for the inspiration and sharing your techniques.
Cheers, Paul - glad you enjoy the videos! The stains I use are spirit stains from Chestnut Products.
Stunning work, love the finish
Did you sell it?
Thank you! I did eventually sell it, though a little regretfully....a woman from Ireland saw it at last year's Woodturning Weekender from Chestnut Products and snapped it up! At least I know it went to someone who really liked it!
Hi Stewart , was this done with the Chestnut colour stains ?
Hi Timothy - yep, Chestnut Stains straight from the bottle into an airbrush. Cheers!
@@stewartfurini would love to see a video on your spraying gear and what you recommend one day, if not already done 1, i have a very cheap bench top chinese one which i need to upgrade in the future
Hi Timothy - I use airbrushes at the cheaper end of the market and find they do all I need for colouring wood. Not sure they'd be as good as top notch brushes if I were doing more 'artistic' work with them, but for stains and stencilling they work fine. I will have a think about a set up video - nice idea!
Why bother with annoying insolent teenagers when you have such talent
Xavier, I agree
....well, most of them are far from annoying and insolent (and some of them subscribe to my channel, so I have to be nice to them!) Maybe the talent will start earning me some more money when I get closer to retirement and the mortgage is paid off...Cheers!
wow...got to say, that is rather a whom snageling master piece!!....HAHAHAH 👍👍👍😂😂😂
Cheers! One of my favourites!
New sub. It's gorgeous! Will it sell? YES! Have a great time at MC.
Thanks for subscribing and commenting. I'm looking forward to MC....will you be there??
@@stewartfurini unfortunately I cant be. Too cost prohibitive from New York. Really hoping Nick decides to do another next year after all.
@@JensWoodworkingThings Shame...fingers crossed for next year, then....Cheers!
