Man, you threw everything at this bowl (black walnut , 2 colors of resin, sumac branches, colored UV resin, copper wire, and clear resin) but instead of it being too busy, it was definitely a success!
I am just amazed that you didn't seem to think this bowl was anything but salvage. You turned it into a thing of true beauty. You really have a genius for melding color, grain, finish, different woods and metals. A true artist.
I really enjoyed your use of mixed media and your "backup and punt" attitude when materials give you complications. In this "cookie-cutter" world we live in it is refreshing to see someone put their art out there from beginning to finished product!❤
I agree! You just get the basic idea and if there is a complication, you just set up and punt! (I love football, can you tell? Lol! In watching your ability to go-with-the-flow it’s actually giving me the incentive to do that, too! Your videos are far more reaching than just woodworking! I am excited about catching up on old videos until a new one comes out! Thank you for your instructions!
Hi Jim, we appreciate seeing the overshot and sharing tricks of the trade. Just a thought, you might benefit from having a floor cushion as you are standing on cement in the same place for a long period of time. It would be less strain on your back, legs, and feet. As usual, your project turned out fantastic, two 👍's up. Keep on turning!! Oh! By the way, watching through those commercials was painful, but we want to support you and your channel. Lol
Factories I worked in for years always had foam padded mats for us to stand on since we were always basically in the same spot. Most times, our floor mats were 6' x 3' and very comfortable to walk around on.
Bowl is amazing, like always. I work for a builder full time. Also a part time furniture maker on the side and now throwing turning into my tool box. Building cost are out of this world right now. That’s why I just bought a existing house instead of building. I’m also putting up a 30x50 metal building shop, but I wanted a block and truss shop but it was a quarter of the price to do metal.
I do like the different angles for a bit of a change. It's so cool how you use everything you can and don't waste anything. ANOTHER beautiful work of art!!
So many amazing elements to this bowl that I can't pick just one that's my favorite! The color swirl, the copper inlay, the eyelets of color in the sumac branches, the profile...it's all just so lovely! I had no idea that sumac was UV responsive and now I wanna get some and play with it for jewelry making :) The distance footage really gives a nice idea of how you work the wood, which is great for someone who eventually wants to take a stab at learning how to turn wood and resin. I keep getting so many ideas and learning so much from watching your videos, so thank you for being so awesome about not hiding mistakes, for all the explanations of why and how you're doing everything. So many wood turners don't do that and they make it look so easy, which you prove it's not. I appreciate everything you do with this channel, Jim 😊
I really enjoy your channel because you talk us through everything. I love hearing your thought process and how you make your creative decisions. I am still working on my own art (painting) and it’s surprising how similar some of the choices are!
Still the best part of a Friday evening. Guess those years of experience with the floor buffer paid off - "Let your hips do the walking!" I near snorted coffee out my nose laughing. Was good to see you have artistic fun with a bowl that didn't fight you every inch of the way. Oh happy days - lol. Luv ya and keep on doing what you do best. Fantastic end result!
Many ways to express how beautiful this is but I'll just say WOW, what a fine piece of art. Really love how you incorporated the sumac twigs. The whole process was very entertaining.
Hey Jim I am also based in Canada although quite aways away in central Alberta and I cannot agree more with your discussion on your shop build and the INSANE cost of building materials these days. I will say that as far as in Alberta the prices on lumber have gone down since the (C-word ) days when the amount of people doing their own projects at home were at an all time high... I am sorry for the amount of extra tax you folks take on out East as it is completely just another way for "people" to benefit from us hard working Canadians, I wish the best to you and your wife during the process and that the prices go down tremendously in the next year... Now as far as your woodturning/ artwork goes this is yet another amazing piece with your touch to it! Congratulations on the TH-cam Play button plaque you deserve it thats forsure! Keep up this great content, my father and I look forward to your releases every week !
As a fellow Canadian, I really love watching your videos. I love watching woodturning in general but I’d say you are my favourite. Listening to you talk through your projects is kinda like listening to a friendly neighbour, even if we’re in different provinces! ❤️
I love that Walnut. Such a deeply rich wood. Love the inlay and yes it would be nice to be an 🐙 at times.😂. I just love watching the way things work and how you create masterpieces of art so whichever camera angle works for you is ok with me. 😊 Take care my friend and keep on turning!
WOW!!! That's awesome. I give it a full 200 present.👍... Love that walnut,. You always score big there. The inlays with sumac, came out great. 🥸👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎
Jim, a great project and the effort you put into this is clearly evident. I’m really envious of that chunk of walnut you have, it’s inspired me to get out in the woods with the chainsaw before winter. Well done mate! 🎉
I stumbled on your video and couldn’t stop watching. What a beautiful piece of art and craftsmanship. Watching you creating these bowls is mesmerizing and satisfying. Thank you. I ❤️ 🇨🇦
Everything about this bowl is wonderful! Such amazing grain. The inlays are awesome. Your hard work really pays off here 😊. Also liked seeing the wider shot of you so we can see your working the tools on the piece. You had the perfect mix of close shots and wide shots. 😃 Cheers!
Love this bowl. The colors came out beautifully. I really like that you take what other people would consider flaws, mistakes, or trash and find a way to both repair and enhance the piece. Designer Epoxy
Good morning to all. Hope you are all enjoying the last day of Summer. Got my mug of hot tea and a fresh homemade apple fritter. Looking forward to this.😁
The Canadian government has created the housing crisis and between taxes, permits, development fees it is killing people. I find it amazing that we are taxed on top of taxes on money that has already been taxed. Anyways another spectacular project Jim, thank you
Yes, a prime example of that is all the materials are taxed when bought to build the house, then we pay the tax again to have the house built! Frustrating! Thanks
I love this! I really like the little addition of the new camera angle. I know this comment is late, I was out of town for 6 weeks without my laptop. A good friend lost her husband suddenly in September & I was staying with her.
What an absolutely beautiful piece of wood, the inlay compliments it so well. Another gorgeous bowl. We have problems with taxes here too, feels like they will be taxing the air we breathe soon. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
Jim, The walnut and sumack give this bowl an amazing contrast with the bling of the copper wire completes this project into a beautiful work of art. No one can match your imagination and gifts.
Last week you didn't need the inlay. This week, it was the cherry on top of the cake. Love the branches in the resin. Beautiful. Liked the above shots, interesting to see how you you put your whole self behind the gouge.
That resin and wood inlay/filler is up there with your best ever. The copper not so big one but a bowl with more of the resin and wood scattered throughout could possibly make number one in my books😁👍👍
Hi Jim I live the bowl. I particularly like the branches being put in more symetrical than some of your earlier work with the same type of branches. The copper wire between the branches was hard to see on my phone but dud look good diwn the bottom. The cours of the epoxy were great mid-colours between branches & bowl wood. Glad the wire inlay worked too.
Love the green epoxy playing off the yellow off the sumac. The copper inlay is stunning, and I like the cross section look of the pieces of wire in the sumac. Another fantastic piece, Jim!
Great bowl. Love the high camera angle. I've never seen anyone show that before. The inlay really adds an incredible element to the piece. Appreciate the commentary too. Very enjoyable.
Ooo, copper is my favorite metal, and green is my favorite color--so this is the best of both worlds for me! I love the focal interest of the sumac branches with copper "dots" spaced throughout. The copper wire inlay resembles fine rope, I really like that. Very nice bowl!
Hi Jim. I’m behind with my viewing as I’m in France for my Granddaughter’s 16th birthday. I counted three typical British understatements while you produced that lovely bowl. 🌞
I love how you find the beauty in every piece of wood that you come across. Such a wonderful piece. When you mentioned using both pieces of wire and I thought, wouldn't look neat if you twisted both pieces together to make a unique design and then you only had to deal with one piece.
I think you made the right choice in colour Jim, it brought out the green in the sumac branches. My little guy (5yrs) tuned in this morning and said “you should make that next mom” 😅 thanks for preserving with that copper wire 😉 beautiful bowl this week.
The walnut glows and the sumac complements the colors perfectly. Thank you a million times for doing what you do and doing it exactly the way you do it.
A terrific bowl as usual, no correct that…another step up. Who’d of thought of cutting a chunk out and replacing it with branches. The colors look great! Designer epoxy
Ok, I know this was a bit of a pain in the neck but, wholly crap, I love this! I'm also a sucker for anything that's inlaid. Also digging the different camera angles.
The higher camera view was interesting to see. This bowl is beautiful as usual. I think it’s okay to gently ask for help from your viewers. We are glad to help with your new shop where we can.
Another beautiful piece, Jim! Personally, I like the wider view showing tool position and body motion. Helps this newbie learn the proper techniques. Thanks!
Humungous! Enjoyed the new camera angle and the way I could see the tool motions you use. Very helpful knowledge. Boy those are some crazy high taxes. Can’t wait to see the new shop setup once done. 25 bowls a week… that’s a serious business production. I really like the artistic aspect and the creativity. Must be much more rewarding. Designer epoxy. Sandpaper 😊
Beautiful bowl and inlay. I love the effect of the resin inside the former pith. Your struggle with the copper wire reminded me of struggles with barbed wire, although yours is less pokey. It's helpful to see the wider view for those of us who don't turn regularly as a reminder to use your body.
I just LOVE this bowl!! The colors and the swirling shape of the resin are such a compliment to the wood. And, I love the added copper in there. Mostly though, I love that it has a polka dot effect, my favorite!!
"Fixing issues" is why I watch the channel. I'd rather see the mistakes and how to fix them before they happen to me. Keep it up.
Thank you very much!
Man, you threw everything at this bowl (black walnut , 2 colors of resin, sumac branches, colored UV resin, copper wire, and clear resin) but instead of it being too busy, it was definitely a success!
Thank you very much!
very nice job! I clicked on all six ads so now you can have that four feet of wood shop back!!!! lol
lol, it’s a start, thanks for that!
I am just amazed that you didn't seem to think this bowl was anything but salvage. You turned it into a thing of true beauty. You really have a genius for melding color, grain, finish, different woods and metals. A true artist.

Thank you very much!
Hi Everyone. Much Love from Northern Ireland.
Thank you very much!
As always beautiful. Love the idea of more artistic, more of you in each piece. 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
The appearance of the bowl changed immediately. You acted like a wood surgeon. Very nicely done. Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Congratulations on your play button Jim
Thank you very much!
The green is perfect with those sumac branches. They are quite yellow.
They are a good match. Thanks.
It is gorgeous!! !! I wish there was more.
Thanks again.
the new perspective let's us non turners see how you do it. Awesome shots. Love it.
Awesome, thank you!
Jim!!! OMG this is soooo nice! Beautiful!!! ❤❤❤
Thanks so much!!

I love this idea! It turned out so wonderful!
Thank you! 😊
Amazes me that you take a hunk of a tree and some random items and make such a beautiful work of art. I love black walnut. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
The bowl is stunning! I love all the colors .
Bowl is amazing, like always. I work for a builder full time. Also a part time furniture maker on the side and now throwing turning into my tool box. Building cost are out of this world right now. That’s why I just bought a existing house instead of building. I’m also putting up a 30x50 metal building shop, but I wanted a block and truss shop but it was a quarter of the price to do metal.
Even metal is high right now. I never priced out a metal structure because we wanted the shop to match the house. Thank you very much!
Jim, This is a treasure of a bowl. I admire your skills and patience. You're truly talented. 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you so much 😀
I do like the different angles for a bit of a change. It's so cool how you use everything you can and don't waste anything. ANOTHER beautiful work of art!!
Awesome! Thank you!
@@SpragueWoodturning I like a bit of the bling, too 😊
So many amazing elements to this bowl that I can't pick just one that's my favorite! The color swirl, the copper inlay, the eyelets of color in the sumac branches, the profile...it's all just so lovely!
I had no idea that sumac was UV responsive and now I wanna get some and play with it for jewelry making :)
The distance footage really gives a nice idea of how you work the wood, which is great for someone who eventually wants to take a stab at learning how to turn wood and resin.

Beautiful walnut bowl and lived the copper inlay. Enjoyed the new camera angles as well. Great piece this week 😊😊
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks
Watched 1400 hours. You have inspired me to go back to baking. My only drawback is my 70 years.. Hi

The new camera angle was great. It gave us a good sense of the length of your tools and how you use them.Beautiful bowl,walnut is king!
Awesome, thank you!
Designer epoxy
Agree on camera angle. I don't think people always appreciate the body movement when turning.
As a fellow Canadian, I really love watching your videos. I love watching woodturning in general but I’d say you are my favourite. Listening to you talk through your projects is kinda like listening to a friendly neighbour, even if we’re in different provinces! ❤️

That sumac and resin looks like a 60’s fabric print and is really cool and ‘groovy’. I love it!
Thanks so much!
WOW!!! That's awesome. I give it a full 200 present.👍... Love that walnut,. You always score big there. The inlays with sumac, came out great.
🥸👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎
Thank you very much!
You definitely got creative on this one, Jim ... with wonderful results! Excellent project!
Many thanks!
I appreciate the way you show the struggle as well as the ease of turning a project. The colors are beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Jim, a great project and the effort you put into this is clearly evident. I’m really envious of that chunk of walnut you have, it’s inspired me to get out in the woods with the chainsaw before winter. Well done mate! 🎉

The added materials like branches, walnut shells, seed pods etc offer such a unique look to your pieces. Just lovely.
Thanks so much!
I didn’t care for this bowl at first but once it was done I was pleasantly surprised. Sweet!

Thank you very much!
Happy Friday! Love the video Jim! Take care everyone!
Thanks! You too!
I like the effect of drilling out the sumac branches and filling with resin. As usual, it’s a beautiful bowl! Thanks Jim!

Sorry for typos -your video arrives vrry early hours of Saturday morning for me.
Thank you very much!
A great contrast between beautiful walnut and the resin and sumac pieces. I think it’s a gorgeous bowl. 😊
Thank you very much!
I liked the new camera angles...gives new perspective...really love the addition of the copper wire, complements the wood and with the green colors.
Cool, thanks!
All your hard work on the inlay really gave the bowl some nice character.

Yes it was! Thanks
Hi Jim. I’m behind with my viewing as I’m in France for my Granddaughter’s 16th birthday. I counted three typical British understatements while you produced that lovely bowl. 🌞
Thanks
Super cool bowl. The copper wire was much harder to work with than I imagined. I do like the panned back view whenever you feel like doing it.
Cool, thanks!
I love how you find the beauty in every piece of wood that you come across. Such a wonderful piece. When you mentioned using both pieces of wire and I thought, wouldn't look neat if you twisted both pieces together to make a unique design and then you only had to deal with one piece.
This stuff won’t twist together good, if it was solid wire, sure it would work and I’ve showed it here on the channel. Thanks
That copper wire turned into a struggle but you beat it. Looks beautiful with the green Designer Epoxy.
Thank you! Cheers!
I think you made the right choice in colour Jim, it brought out the green in the sumac branches. My little guy (5yrs) tuned in this morning and said “you should make that next mom” 😅 thanks for preserving with that copper wire 😉 beautiful bowl this week.
Get er done, lol. Thank you very much!
Absolutely gorgeous piece. I could look at that beautiful wood grain all day.
Thank you very much!
It's amazing to see how you correct something with these designs! Love the grain!
Thank you! Cheers!
The walnut glows and the sumac complements the colors perfectly. Thank you a million times for doing what you do and doing it exactly the way you do it.
Wow! Thank you so much!
Sir your skills are top notch I appreciate you for showing us viewers the correct way of doing the work
Thank you very much!
I love the inlay, and the colour, but I especially love the grain and colour of the wood! A beautiful end result. Thanks for another great video, Jim.
Thank you very much!
Stunning like always... that yellow sumac wood against the green epoxy is great... and that little shine from the copper... perfect touch...
Thank you very much!
That black walnut is beautiful! I like the copper bling too. Very nice!
Thank you very much!
this looks so cool you are a amazing at this
Thank you so much!
Can't go wrong with walnut and inlays. Awesome bowl.
Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
What a great artist you are. The today creation is so so unic. It dose look like the 70th tome. I love it. Bravo.
It does have that vintage feel. Thanks
Looks amazing! Drilling out the holes in the branches was exactly the right thing to do. It definitely added even more interest to the piece.
Totally agree! Thanks
Shocked to how much I loved the green, especially how you drilled out the sticks.❤
Thanks so much 😊
A terrific bowl as usual, no correct that…another step up. Who’d of thought of cutting a chunk out and replacing it with branches.
The colors look great!
Designer epoxy
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks
Love this bowl! I like when a bowl has added features like the resin, branches and copper.
Thank you very much!
This is unreal, the drilled out centers look like jewels !!!
Thank you very much!
I may have a new favourite, but I change my mind with every new bowl. I so love your style of work.❤
Thanks so much 😊
Psychedelic Peacock Feather. Very attractive piece of art. Have great weekend.
Thank you! You too!
Ok, I know this was a bit of a pain in the neck but, wholly crap, I love this! I'm also a sucker for anything that's inlaid. Also digging the different camera angles.

Thank you very much!
I tell you , I'm a artist in pyrography and I love watching you .
Thank you very much!
That is one of the coolest things you have done. It's giving me mid century-Atomic vibes.
Totally, thanks!
I see why you love the sumac! It’s beautiful! Another stunning bowl
Thank you! Cheers!
Another beautiful piece, Jim! Personally, I like the wider view showing tool position and body motion. Helps this newbie learn the proper techniques. Thanks!
Cool, thanks
Really enjoy how you talk through the procedures and what problems that may happen.
Thank you very much!
Love the bowl Jim!
Thank you very much!
need to finish some work. Decided that when I finish, watching this video will be my reward!)) But it is tempting to just watch it right now)))
Hope you enjoy it!

Copper themed project? 😮 Count me in!! I've been obsessed with copper and the color white for at least 15 years now. lol
Interesting, thanks!
Beautiful bowl and inlay. I love the effect of the resin inside the former pith. Your struggle with the copper wire reminded me of struggles with barbed wire, although yours is less pokey. It's helpful to see the wider view for those of us who don't turn regularly as a reminder to use your body.
Thank you very much!
That's a great way to repair a wonky bowl blank. It looks great!
Thank you! Cheers!
Good morning to everyone, and Jim. I'm excited about today's turning, I hope that you are too
I also hope that everyone is doing very well today. 😊
Good morning!
The Copper Wire inlay turned out very cool! Awesome piece once again, Jim!
Thanks again!
What an ingenious way of fixing a problem. Beautiful bowl.
Thank you very much!
I just LOVE this bowl!! The colors and the swirling shape of the resin are such a compliment to the wood. And, I love the added copper in there. Mostly though, I love that it has a polka dot effect, my favorite!!
Thank you so much!
That sumac makes this a very fun piece to explore. I always enjoy your work, and how you teach me new ways to look at natural materials.
Many thanks!
