I'm new to turning, though I've been turning perfectly good wood into sawdust for years. Thank you for sharing your techniques, your work, your wit, and the moments when things didn't work out as planned - truly inspirational.
Good camera effects and a perfect candle holder. There where times I thought you lost it on the way it looked however the way it turned out with kind of a stone look is fantastic. Thanks
Hi I'm just getting into colouring & bought both Intrinsic Colours & Chestnut Rainbow spirit stains at Makers Central on Sunday.. I've played around using acrylic paint up to now but I'll be taking my first proper steps in colouring very soon. So I'll be watching your videos to see the master at work. 😀. Miss Tee
Hi Stewart. Well recovered! Love the deep rich red, and you have reminded me to make more use of my texturing tool. Good luck with the challenge. Cheers Andrew
Thanks Andrew. I wasn’t sure at the gold centrifugal stage...so the white really helped me make up my mind about not keeping it like that. What power there is in sandpaper to correct mistakes!
you are a great artist and i love your job my friend i am also very happy that you enter the challenge !! you done a very nice tea light holder !!! good luck with the challenge !!!
nice work I think it looks beautiful Stewart may I ask what kind of texturing tool you have or use? when you use your air brush what kind of paints are they I know you use the spirit stains ! I'm getting some and an air brush kit as well! keep playing great video's Larry from USA
Thanks, Larry. On this one I used the Robert Sorby texturing tool. The spirit stains are made by Chestnut Products and I use them neat from the bottle. Cheers! Have fun with your own airbrushing.
Thank you, Pete - glad you liked the finished article and camera shots! I've done some nice centrifuge effects, but on this piece it didn't work for me at all. Cheers!
That came out really well in the end Stewart, beautiful mate. I have to be honest with you, there were times I was thinking I wasn't going to like it, but in true Furini style it did not disappoint at all. Good luck in the challenge. Take care Mike
I know, it is december now and i am a little bit late :-) but... very pretty tea light holder. good luck in the challenge. :-) always safe turning and happy days in the workshop greetings from germany Chris
Thanks, Kevin - I was pleased with how this came out and it just shows that you don't need a big bit of wood to practise colouring on . Have fun! Cheers!!
Hello Stewart, Beautiful piece of wok man!! I may have missed it, but my question is what technique did you use to roughen up the wood 'under' the portion of the bowl with the green paint?
Thanks Duncan. The white was just acrylic paint added while the wood was spinning. It was watered down a little to thin it. It reminded me of snow...hence the burst of song!,
I probably have the emptiest Etsy shop on the web! In fact, I can't even find it now......must have been deleted due to inactivity.....PM me if there's anything you want or email me through my website: stewartfuriniwoodturning.co.uk
Wow this is beautiful. What is the name of the airbrush system you use and the type of acrylic paints I’ve seen on other videos. I have a spray booth at home (empty amazon box) and could try this out. Thanks so much for your content. Very inspiring
Hi Gareth. I've done a video about the set up I use. Alongside the acrylic paint I used chestnut spirit stains. You should be able to find the video on my channel. The airbrush set came from Amazon. Glad you liked it. Cheers!

Great video Stewart. I have to get me one of those spray booths LOL. I love the effect using the black.
mike atkinson Steady, Mike. These booths are an expensive outlay!! Thanks for liking the video. Cheers
they are very expensive, last time I went there It cost me 200 in furniture and a days wages lost putting it all together.
That looks great! You did a good job with that!
The Woodworking Shed Thanks John. Much appreciated. Cheers.
Really nice piece
Thanks, Kenneth - it's great to see my older videos are still getting views. Cheers!!
OOOooo yes! We like that. I will confess I am not at all disappointed that the centrifuge effect didn't survive. lol
Overhead cam is a winner!
Thank you, Pete - glad you liked the finished article and camera shots! I've done some nice centrifuge effects, but on this piece it didn't work for me at all. Cheers!
Lovely color and texture, and don't let haters put you down about the texture and coloring, we know it was intentional! :) Good luck!
Yuval
Thanks Yuval. You’ve got some great looking videos. Will be checking them out this week. Cheers!
Stunning love the colour

Thanks for commenting, Chris - much appreciated! Fingers crossed!! Cheers
Don't know where you got that motteled look from but it's looking good from here, you have my vote for Christmas challenge all the best
Thanks Barry. The mottled look comes from using lots of stain and trying to control the runs! Cheers
Gorgeous. Thanks for sharing it. What was the tool you used to texture the rim of the opening?
Thanks, D L. Glad you like it. I used a Robert Sorby texturing tool on the opening.
@@stewartfurini thank you! I know what to tell Santa, next time I'm in his lap..... :-)
Lovely job!
Mitch Peacock - WOmadeOD Thanks Mitch. Cheers!
Hi Stewart, very pretty. I like it a lot. Made me think about doing some colour to some projects. Thank you for Sharing. 👍
Thanks, Kevin - I was pleased with how this came out and it just shows that you don't need a big bit of wood to practise colouring on . Have fun! Cheers!!
Very pretty. For us non-wood turners,when will you know who has won this challenge? And how can we find out?
Francesz Hallen Thank you Francesz. The results come out some time in December. Cheers.
Turned out great Stewart
Thanks Paul. Glad you like it. Cheers
Hello Stewart,
Beautiful piece of wok man!!
I may have missed it, but my question is what technique did you use to roughen up the wood 'under' the portion of the bowl with the green paint?
Thank you, Larry! The texturing was done with a Robert Sorby Texturing tool. Cheers!!
amazing...I really like your work
Thank you very much, Pietro! Much appreciated. Cheers!
Oh I really liked the pattern you had with the white using centrifugal force. How were you doing that ? Great video again cheers
Thanks Duncan. The white was just acrylic paint added while the wood was spinning. It was watered down a little to thin it. It reminded me of snow...hence the burst of song!,
very nice stewart great work love the channel keep up the good work look forward to more cheers
Thank you, Wayne - I'll keep them coming, don't worry! Have got a couple of new ideas bouncing around...just time needed...Cheers!

Beautiful
Thanks, Irene!
Great job Stewart
Thank you kindly, Lance!
LOVE THIS!!!
Thanks! Glad you like it. Cheers!
That’s just stunning...how’s that new airbrush doing...is it OK without a tank?
Hi Kevin. Thanks for the comment - very speedy!! The airbrush compressor is doing fine...making my bigger one redundant for now! Cheers
Here's how it coped with a bigger platter...th-cam.com/video/5Z-o8m1EREg/w-d-xo.html
Stewart Furini I had just picked up the iPad and the notification popped up so watched it straight away...

Lovely colour, think i would have used a brass tealight insert
Mart Ashton Thanks Matt. Brass would have looked good I’m sure. Only got glass ones at the moment! Cheers

Hi again Gareth. The acrylic paints are just ordinary acrylic from any art supply shop. Cheers!
Stewart Furini thank you Stewart. I really appreciate the replies and your videos
What is that effect between the lines did I miss something
Hi Herk - it's made with the Robert Sorby texturing tool: th-cam.com/video/NTKLkJorTYE/w-d-xo.html
Stewart Furini thanks for the reply
What tool did you use to make the detail you painted black? Thanks
Hi Joey - I used a texturing tool: www.google.com/search?q=robert+sorby+texturing+tool&rlz=1C1GCEA_enGB771GB771&oq=robert+sorby+texturin&aqs=chrome.0.0j69i57j0l4.4703j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
I think it is great.
Thanks, Woodman!
Hi 👋 it was nice when it was red and black but It is very nice 👍.
Thanks, Graham - sometimes the colouring takes over and I don't know when to stop! Might have to set up a help group. Cheers!
How do you achieve that pitting effect in the wood? What tool do you use?

Thanks, Brian!
Stewart, I appreciate your work but not that look.
Cheers, Mark...not sure if you mean the camera set up, the tealight or my haircut! Hope it's the camera set-up!! Cheers!
A lovely peace far better than your singing
Thanks Vernon...I think! Glad you liked the wood. Sorry for the poor singing!,
