The bowl is stunning, don't let the witness line get you down. Thanks for sharing MC
Thanks.
Beautiful
Thank you.
Ken
Great video looks great like the white with the Walnut
Thank you.
Ken
awesome bowl
Well thank you Steven.
Ken
This walnut is almost dark as Rosewood! Great work man!
Thanks. It was very dark, but the grain wow!
Ken
You are so killin' it brother. Great job!
Thanks Dave.
Ken
Great project, Ken!
Thanks Rick I truly appreciate that.
Ken
Black Walnut is one of my favorites to turn.
It turns like butter. love it.
Hi Ken, That looks great. Love the grain in the Walnut. Cheers, Huw
Thank you. That walnut is so pretty.
Ken
Another brilliant video, mate! By the time you read this, the second bowl will be sold too!
Hahahhaha, I love the positiveness of your post. Thanks Shaun.
Ken
Great video. Thanks for listing all of the tools and products you use. Helps very much.
No problem 👍 Thanks for watching
Another beautiful bowl, Ken, even though it's not what you wanted. It's still really nice.
Thank you William.
Ken
You have me more than curious about playing with resin.
I like it because it allows me to do things I can't without it. It's a big pain in the butt also. lol
Ken, the previous line in the last bowl was noticable but still beautiful. Adds lots of character, glad your doing a second one!! Let's go, 20k people. Lol and you have learned hahahaha no more wasted sanding sealer!
Hahhahaa thanks James. I like the whole 20K thing too. :)
Ken
Can I get a witness... if you didn't point it out, we wouldn't notice that it's not supposed to look like that. I still love it, the walnut is beautiful and the white is perfect for winter. Great piece, don't beat yourself up.
I'll witness for you - Ken does GREAT work, but like all artists, all HE can see are the "flaws." If I could afford it - fair wage for his labor, wood, resin, electricity, wear and tear on tools and equipment, other related expenses - I would have him send his "mistakes" to ME.
Just a crazy idea, and it'd probably take a REALLY long time to do, but what if you did a WHOLE BUNCH of small pours to deliberately get these witness lines? Might look really crazy/cool.
Thank you. You guys rock!!!!!! LeighAnn says I am ridiculous about flaws. I just finished one that she thinks is the best failure I have ever made, but all I see is a bowl that isn't what I intended. lol Oh wait......I see it now.
Ken
It’s beautiful regardless of the line!!
Thank you Anna Marie. I appreciate that.
Ken
Bowl is awesome. I really think the witness line adds to the beauty of the bowl and lets the admirer know the it is hand crafted. Good job
Thank you sir.
Ken
Duuuuude, the last one sold in 15 minutes, because it was AWESOME. This one is too. Having the witness line actually works really well on this one because of the sorta geometric V-shape that the bowl and resin form. 15:20 is a great shot of what I'm talking about. The sharpness of that point plays into having the line running around it as well. Regardless, still another really, really cool project. Sorry you've got to make another one for that client, but I see that Summers already beat my wife to buying this one, so it won't be homeless.
Thanks Jeff, I think this one looks like layers of clouds with the line. I posted it to my site late last night. Hopefully someone will buy it. Your wife has dibs on the sea foam bowl which is almost ready so.........lol
Ken
@@MoonpieCreations Oh, she's gonna be calling dibs on a lot of them, I figure. And I'm angling for ways to get some more overtime at work. lol
Personally, I kinda like the witness line. It adds to the impression of being alabaster or marble. Anyhoo, it's just friggin' beautiful!
It looks a lot like cloud layers to me. Thank you for commenting.
Ken
I still like it!
Thanks Dave.
Ken
Looks awesome Ken, that witness line almost looks like a rim! I like it!!
IKt does atr that. Funny how it didn;t appear until the end.
Ken
Stunning
Thank you! 😊
It’s still beautiful.
Thank you Susan.
Ken
Great job
Thank you Lucius.
Ken
I'm new to your channel. Your bowls are beautiful. Thank you for the videos.
Well welcome L Will. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Ken
Great bowl in spite of the line. Just spitballing but... could pour less resin the first time so that the top of the blank isn't covered? Then the joint with the second pour would only show on the outside before it was turned. Good luck on your next attempt!
Stuart
I just tried this suggestion on my latest bowl. I will let you know how it goes. Thank you.
Ken
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
Thanks
Ken
Hello, Its a beautiful bowl , Absolutely Beautiful mfg JOE
Thank you.
YAY Ken!! Keep up the good work. If at first you screw up, try it again. 2nd times a charm, right??
Not in this case. lol But the third time was a charm.
Ken
looked great to me brother . time to get a new poring bowl lol . you da man brother .
Done and done brother. Pick up a few and I broke this one getting the blank out so no more using it. Thank you.
Ken
Good job.
Thank you.
Ken
What about using a skew to etch out a shallow groove around the witness mark. Fill with colored epoxy. Sand and finish? Could look spiffy. Or more metallic resin ?
That's not a bad idea......If this happens again I may try it. Thanks.
Ken
Another great video i think it is beutiful the way it is its a one of a kind no matter the witness line but thank you and cant wait for the next
Thank you Steven. I appreciate the support.
Ken
Great job Ken your work is absolutely amazing and beautiful. Do you need anymore walnut? If so I've got some stumps that have been sitting for a few years. Thanks for sharing with us all!
Thanks for the offer Gina, but I just picked up about 10 logs of walnut. By the way I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Ken
Third times the charm!
And it was!!!!!
Ken
What about stabilizing the wood with cactus juice (and sealing the junk wood with cheap spray) so less of the resin will get sucked up, thus leaving more and maybe not having to do a second pour?
I think an issue is that the resin gets pushed into cracks and then when the resin hardens it shrinks some. The Cactus Juice would work, but I have to buy separate equipment for that.
Ken
@@MoonpieCreations equipment is never ending
It's still a beautiful bowl and the proof is how long it stayed on your site before someone snatched it up
Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
Thanks Russell, I hope this one sells near that fast.
Ken
@@MoonpieCreations You're welcome Ken LOL
Nice job. Don't you know it's pacon not peecan, lol, dead givaway, If you will pour your second pour when the first is just tackie you won't get that witness line and it won't bleed into the first. I also noticed you are one of the few that use you round cutter at an angle as I do. It does a better job even if the manufacturers tell you to hold it flat. Take care and keep it up. Larry
I usually pour at night before I go to bed, so I'm not able to get back to it. I may try that though. But I think I have figured out how to minimize the line. I pour a small pour then pour the larger one. The witness line ends up below the wood as it fills in the cracks and stuff. I get a better cut with the round cutter at an angle. lol.
Ken
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Ken
Maybe if you try knocking off the shine, give a little tooth to the top of the first pour, before the second pour, the line won't be as noticeable? or at all (Hope) lol :)
I have thought about making the top of the first pour into sharp points then pouring the second pour. I think it would look cool.
Ken
Another great piece! Have you thought about sealing your wood ("paint-on" a layer of epoxy and let cure prior to pouring) prior to pouring that way you maximize your initial pour without the epoxy seeping into the wood to get rid of the witness lines you've been getting? Either way, great piece and keep on turning!
That's not a bad idea at all. I will see if it helps, but most of the wood I have has cracks in it that soak up a bunch of the resin. hmmmmmm I will have to test it to see. Thanks.
Ken
Ken, really neat looking even with the line in the resin. Could part of the problem be that the ratio of the amount of pearl coloring be different between the two pours? I wonder how it would look if you made a small shallow groove right where the line is? Like they say, if you can’t hide it accentuate it. Enjoyed the video and looking forward to the next attempt.
Hey Paul, Yes I think part of it is the amount of pigment. The two will look slightly different if the saem amount is not put in. But even when that happens you cannot physically feel the witness line. Definitely the mold release I used. I changed to another buck and now issues. The groove is a good idea though.
Ken
Isn't there always slot of schit sanding on every project? It still turn3d out Beautiful!
Hahaha, boy do I hate sanding.....Thank you.
Ken
Nice I have some 100 year old black walnut traded for making a bowl for guys wife it had a mini ball from civil war in wood I left it in there was off of family farm I’m going to have to something like this with smaller pieces I hav laying around
It's a good use for scrap pieces. The ball would be cool to find.
Ken
It’s still beautiful. Frustrating being a perfectionist, isn’t it? But you want your art to be the best that you can possibly create, I get that...
LeighAnn tells me I am to hard on myself........but i like my pieces to be worth the money people spend to get them.
Ken
Moonpie Creations nothing, and none of us, is perfect. These ‘flaws’ that you see add character and uniqueness to your pieces. It’s easy to see how much care you put into your art. Oh, and tell your girlfriend, btw, she’s right. 😉
I have noticed that you used a thick set on this project and on some of the previous projects you used the 2:1. Total Boat also has a 5:1 and penetrating formula. Any guidance on the pros and cons of these different formulations?
Hey Tom, I love all three. The Thickset is better for large pours or pours without a pressure pot. It's thin so there are less bubbles. It takes a few days to harden all the way. The 2:1 Slow is great for medium pours using a pressure pot. This is my go to resin. It hardens in about 8 hours and is crystal clear. It takes pigments and dyes very well. The 5:1 is harder to work with as it is harder when cured. I tend to get more tear out with it, but it is cheaper and still gives a great finished product. If you do purchase some feel free to use MPC20 for 20% off.
Ken
Nice slapped (2:47) , yyy shaped bowl 😁 I see You still have problem with demoulding spray 😟 Maybe, You should try make some cast without this spray and 🤔
You gotta make sure the blank knows whos in charge. lol I didn't use any this time. But I did use the same bucket so I think there was residue from the mold release on it. I am using a new bucket now and it seems to be fine.
Ken
@@MoonpieCreations LOL 😁 I hope it will help. We will see on next project 👌💪
I feel your pain 🤕 But it is very nice nonetheless 👍 The flaw is not due to lack of any skills of which you've got plenty 🧙♂️
Thank you for the encouragement. Great to read first thing this morning.
Ken
Another beautiful bowl. What is the actual time from start to finish for a bowl like that?
It's hard to judge, because the casting process takes days. But I think somewhere around 12-16 hours depending on sanding, type of wood, or if I have any issues.
Ken
I just subscribed last week first time seeing your work love your work is there any site that you sell any of these bowls love them!
Thank you. I do sell my work at Moonpiecreations.com I post them to my facebook and instagram also. You can find those links in the description section.
Ken
Have you ever tried a large pour with the 2:1?
Tom, depends on what you are calling large pours? I have poured 3400g for a bowl with no issues, But Thinkset is better suited for the larger pours.
@@MoonpieCreations Thanks.
Brother, you need a gram kitchen scale. About $15 at Walmart. Follow me here:
Your first pour was 2000 g. You added, let's say for argument, 15 g of pearlescent dye powder. Your second pour was 400g, one fifth of your first pour. So you add 3g of dye powder. And maybe, just maybe, you don't get a witness mark. And it only cost you $15 to find out.
Thanks for the advice. I do have a gram scale. That is what I use for pouring. I will admit I do not use it much for pigments though. A real problem is that I use pearlescent powders and the swirls in them make the witness line more pronounced. But in this case it was the demolding spray residue.
Ken
Maybe you'll dare to use more resin next time so you won't have those witness lines?
I dared, lol. The next bowl came out pretty awesome. I made a 3600g pour......way to much at one time, but my gamble paid off.
Ken
@@MoonpieCreations Ta-Ta-Taaaa!!! :-)
cut a groove at line that shows and repour the grove
Thanks for the advice. That is an option that I think would be cool to do.
Ken
I know this is pretty old, but what about working out a way to incorporate the witness mark into the design? Maybe you could use a plastic the resin doesn't stick to in a way to create a wavy line or something.
That's a pretty neat idea. Thank you.
Its a beautiful bowl Ken. I love the shape of the transition👍. On the witness line, how long are you waiting between pouring the next layer. Also are you measuring out ur pigment in equal parts between pours to get a more uniform match?
Thanks. I do not measure out the pigment and I think that is a big issue. I am going to do a better job at that. I usually wait about 12 or more hours between pours because I pour before I head in for the night. Then I don;t get back out till after I get home from work.
Ken
@@MoonpieCreations The resin I have been using has a specific timeframe for layer pouring, I think 3 hours so the resin is still a bit jelled maybe to give a more consistent bond? I know when I made my nightlight it was super clear without a line in sight, but I also wasn't using a pigment so that may make a difference.
I talked to TotalBoat and they say 2-4 hours depending on the temp. I think I will give it a try. Thank you.
Ken
muhteşem
Thank you.
Ken
Ken, Isn't it worth the gamble to do a single pour? Don't get me wrong bro... nuthin' wrong with the witness line, Did the customer specifically ask for a bowl without a witness line ?
Anyway keep up the great work brother B-)
Raymond
I ended up pouring a 3600g pour nad it paid off. The customer didn't ask not to have it but these aren't regular witness lines. They could be felt and seen more than normal.
Ken
@@MoonpieCreations Canny wait t'see your new one Ken... B-)
Them witness lines are much more tolerable if you use multi colored layers. I use 3 to 4 colors with diferent mica's also, and the transitions are pleasing to the eye. Love how you finished the bottom. Still a quality piece bro.
P.S.- Don't be a Dick.
I tried a multi color one yesterday, looks awesome and yes the witness line is a feature now. Thanks.
Ken
