@@TheKlondikeCraftsman I should have given you props for going at it again and doing such a good job at it too. I was too busy thinking about using the process myself. :)
Very awesome turn. You can limit CA wood staining by applying a layer of sealer or wax before using the CA. Then turn or scrap after it dries before applying finish. I have been using Starbond for over a year, it is an awesome product.
Thank you Matthew. I didn’t coat the outside as I wanted open pours to receive the wax. Normally I would use sanding sealer to prevent staining. Thank you for watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman yeah, I was not sure if you knew that trick. I noticed the CA sealed the grain once you applied the wax coat. Bummer a near perfect finish that still looks incredible.
On the CA glue staining- a quick spray with some lacquer before applying the glue will cut down the staining immensely and as you said you turn off the outer layer anyways-Tyler
another turner has suggested putting spray lacquer on the area before applying the CA reduces the CA bleeding into the surrounding wood havn't tried this my self yet but will in the future
Spray lacquer or sanding sealer works yes. I did not do that as I wanted the pours in the wood to be as open as possible to take the bronze. Thanks for watching Colin
Chestnut Products recommend using a natural bristle liming brush along the grain to clean it out before applying lacquer, but personally I use compressed air. It makes quite a difference to the visibility of the grain effect. I was taught to lacquer & gild first, then go on to finish the natural wood inside of the bowl afterwards. That way, there's no chance of overspill onto bare timber. I'm puzzled as to why you don't use a chuck, that's a nice looking lathe. Nice bowl too, well done.
Hey Ashley, I don’t use a Chuck on the twice turned bowl blanks I have as I bought them roughed and dried. They did not have a tenon and do not really have enough bottom thickness to make one. Thank you for watching!
That is a beautiful bowl. My Hampshire sheen wax is also harder than I expected so it’s nice to have confirmation that it’s not just me. Thanks for sharing 🌞
I learn so much from your videos. I’ve never hot glued a waste block on a blank yet. I’ve noticed that you don’t use the scraper on the inside of bowls very often, must likely because your cuts are good and don’t need it. Often, turners such as yourself make this stuff look easy but I know that your viewers who are turners realize your skill in this craft is why it looks effortless Another great video sir.
Beautiful work Lewis - the attention to detail is what gives it such a lovely finish! I have some Ash I'm waiting to turn and maybe embellish with some colour so this is really useful thanks. Hey I hope all is well with you, haven't seen so many videos from you recently - sending my best wishes Paul
Wonderful-looking bowl! Love the contrast of the colors. I've yet to try ebonizing but I have plenty of roughed out oak bowls to practice with. I'm glad I'm watching a perfectionist do it. I learned how important it is to keep from filling the grain so the embellishment doesn't get ruined. Don't you just hate the thin CA staining? I just finished a Sycamore bowl and the thin CA stained the wood while fixing a few fine cracks. I'm learning to use just a little bit of thin CA and if the crack needs more, I use the heavy thin. It doesn't soak into the wood as much. I'm also finding the waste block technique is the way to go. I heat up a pan and melt the glue pellets and just dip the waste block into the glue. I find the hotter it is the better it holds. Awesome job! I think you learned from the 2nd go and have it down now. I look forward to your next project.
Thanks Greg! Oak is great for using embellishing wax. I like the waste block method other than when turning twice turned bowls it is a chore to cut with the grain. I’d love to see what you make. Thanks for watching!
I have found sanding sealer applied to the area before CA minimises the staining. Also I use a heat gun to pre heat both sides of a hot glue job and it makes a real difference. The pan is also a good idea. Cold glue ups dont last long.
Sanding sealer would fill the pours where the embellishing wax would go so I didn’t want to do that. The hotmelt process I use works great for this application, it isn’t to last any longer than the time it takes to make the piece and then I want it all gone as easily as possible. Thanks for watching!
Awesome bowl and great job with the instruction on the processes as you worked through turning and finishing. Thanks for sharing Lewis and keep up the good work.
A beautiful work of art. I love your videos and have learned a lot from you Lewis. When I am applying CA glue I like to use some sanding sealer first which helps prevent seepage from staining the surounding wood. I don't know if it would affect the ebonising laquer though. If you ever venture across the pond let me know as I'd love to meet you and show you my workshop. Do keep the videos coming...... Colin.
What a beautiful Ash bowl Lewis. I think you have done yourself proud & the ebonizing is superb this time around. Very interesting explanation on the order of your turning & the reasons behind it. Very skilful & thoughtful tips. The overall finish for both inside & outside of the bowl is stunning. Well done, Don from South Aust.
Stunning bowl Lewis! I find it amazing what can be mounted and worked held only by hot glue! Pretty much witchcraft 😂 Great piece bud, thanks for sharing!
Thank you Michael! It works best with open grain wood like ash and oak. You need to ensure that you do not fill the grain with anything and blow the dust out. Thank you for watching!
This turned out great! You mentioned that wood has tension so the outside of the bowl doesn’t hold perfectly true after the bowl has been cored. Why would you not correct the outside after coring the bowl before finishing it? Would this just lead to an endless chase for something round?
Beautiful finish cut. What do you mean by wire edge ? I’ve been wanting to try some embellishing wax from Hamshire. When preparing the outside of the bowl ,would it help to wet the wood before spraying the black to raise the grain?
When you grind a scraper it creates a wire edge on the cutting edge that only lasts a very short time. I guess if you wanted the grain raised you could. I wanted it smooth. Thanks for watching Mark!
Need to package up all that carving chips and dust in small packages - and sell to the prepper/hiking/camping/hunting/fishing community for fire starting material. Leave nothing to waste (especially when making a profit of it !).
You need to use good glue and put it on the face and around the edge. Make sure glue surfaces are clean. I use arrow slow setting sticks and have never had an issue. Thank you for watching!
How do you prevent your wood from cracking or splitting after you've turned it? Every time I make something it always splits. It is very frustrating please help.
To keep green wood from cracking you need to seal up the end grain. There are lots of products you can use. If you are roughing blanks from green wood then keep the walls consistent thickness and again seal the woods. Thanks for watching?
Just comment not a critism before applying supper glue use some sealer around the crack this prevents the supper glue from spreading elimanateing a dark spot
Stunningly beautiful and magnificent and spectacular

Its a really nice bowl, great technique, I didnt get what the black paint was, was it just normal enamel paint or was it a dye?
Hey James, that was rustoleum black lacquer. Thanks for watching!
