Yakisugi. Burnt Ash bowl wood turning

This was another of my off the shelf half finished projects, using the Japanese process Yakisugi of charring wood to preserve it
I try to use this woodturning channel as a platform to share ideas, and to demonstrate to other wood workers the steps needed to achieve this.
I use many different types of wood in varying combinations, as well as combining this with resins, i tend to use glass cast 50 as i can use this without the need of a pressure pot.
For my finishes I use things like Wood dyes spirit based and water based, high gloss wax and
Boiled Linseed Oil - Danish oil and hard wax oil. I also like to experiment with differing textures to give my bowls a different feel to them
For my actual wood turning i use a galaxy DVR lathe 14 44 which is very versatile, which gives me the ability to turn a 14-inch bowl or spindle length of 44-inchs

I don't usually enjoy the burning process, the smell sticks to everything, but I do like the end result, great work Steve!

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thanks Chris, you are right of course, even though i had the fan on and the door open it still smells in my workshop

[@MikeHolton]

Love it Steve, great end result and good idea to use as an outdoor ornament, thanks 👍

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thanks Mike, i was going to use it to put a spare key in but i think a key safe may be a much better idea

[@MikeHolton]

@@thehampshirewoodturner yep, don't hide a key in something nice that may get pinched lol

[@krethjr]

Sorry, but I just don't get it. Looks like a burnt bowling ball to me. Just my preference on the look, not at all a comment on your skills.

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Hi Krethjr, I admire your honesty and your input, It was only ever meant as an ornament and i was looking for that beautiful bluey satin black colour which you get from burning. Saying that it was a bit of an experiment and not one i think i will be repeating, i do prefer the look of natural grained wood, Thanks for watching and leaving your comment

That turned out really nice! I was not sure about it when you started, but I knew you had it all figured out 🇨🇱🤠

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thanks Randy, it was funny that when I showed this to my wife she said how much she liked the colour on it and wished I had left it as it was

[@Ronalcock1]

Sorry it was better before you turned it to ash.

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thats funny you say that Ron because that was exactly what my wife said.

[@chrisgough2205]

Every week something different - look forward to seeing it in the garden! 😀

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

The grand daughter has taken it already
