I am gobsmacked Martin, superb piece, may I venture to say, possibly your best artistic creation to date! You also did a great job on the video, talking us through your process in detail, and yes, I watched all 26.48 minutes of it...lol. Brilliant video matey. Cheers Mike
hi Martin it is nice to know that there are other lefties out there. although I can not do what you just did.a BEAUTIFUL peace. perfect in every way. thanks
Possibly the best piece (for me) yet Martin !!! Thoroughly enjoyed watching the pyrography process, really comprehensive insight to attaining the 3D effect & the gradient of the rosewood stain gives it a sepia feel of an old photograph. You are a very talented man indeed. Regards......... Geof
Love this piece Martin. You certainly have steady hands mate, that pyrography is simply superb! A clockwork tree... I like it :) I also liked the gradient on the front and the 2 differing finishes. The work on the bottom was inspired. Love it and thanks for the video!
Thank you for this video. Your work is beautiful. I just did my first wood burning piece, and I looked up videos for wood burning tips. Ran across this video, and now I feel really inspired to dive deeper into the wood working world. My fiancé would probably thank you and give you a big hug for this(he’s becoming a luthier, loves working with wood).
Another Excellent video. I've been learning to turn the last few months, and your videos have been very inspiring. My girlfriend has been burning for over a decade, yet she still learned something new watching this one. We're going to try something like this soon! Thanks again! Chuffed as always. (That phrase makes me laugh!)
I have learned SO much watching you work and design projects. You give me the confidence to try many new things or designs. Just watching this I can tell I mat never have the patience for Pyrography. Beautiful work as always thanks for sharing.
Nice bowl Martin, love the pyrography design and the added touch on the underside is very cool, makes for a very interesting piece of artwork. As always you set a very high standard in your craftsmanship. Take care Rob
Dang it... now I really want to get a pyrography setup! Add that a carving setup and an airbrush painting setup already on the wishlist. Nice job! -Todd
I must say Martin I love this bowl the sycamore is a under rated wood and the design you put on is beyond any thing I can do ,just done with miliput lines in sycamore bowl and it looks good but not in your league , can't wait for next one
Thanks, Kenny. Being able to put videos together as part of my ‘job’ to inspire other turners is such a pleasure and a privilege. I’m so chuffed you enjoy them. All the best,Martin
Beautiful bowl! 😆 I love watching others who burn as well because we all do it different. For me, I have an easier time with a longer tip, but I also burn at a different angle. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome work and video. Thanks for putting in all the extra info in the description, it's very helpful for those of us just beginning to think about trying this technique. I've subscribed to learn more. Great presentation. Thanks.
The best 7 hours you have spent so far mate, my favourite by far, the pyrography section of the video I found highly instructional for a fat fingered guy like myself.
+Martin Saban-Smith that's a shame , I'm in Orlando at the moment not back until next sat so might miss that . Let me know when's next convenient and I will pop over . Oh I just ordered some bits from you did you get the order ?
I think that's maybe the best piece you have done so far... it's wonderful. I loved the pyrography in this so I would like you to make a 10 hour, non-stop, pyrography video for me. No rush, Friday will do well. Best Wishes, Brendan.
This was my first pyrography video. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The bowl is absolutely amazing. I'm just getting into wood turning and I think I may try my hand at burning as well. If I had one teeny tiny criticism, but it doesn't detract from the look at all, it would be that none of the cogs interconnect. I've watched a few of your vids now and I have subscribed for ideas as I delve in to the wood turning world. Excellent work!
I'm a new subscriber and must admit I'm in a state of awe upon watching your work and the results you've achieved. Very nice piece. Regards from Canada Brian
lovely work.at one time my hands could do a drawing/burning of steampunk essence, but arthiritîs has gotten my hands something awful. love your work, and freestyle keeps originality constantly being present. keep cutting mr. smith! ✌🏼👍🏽
Great tips on the Pyrography, You make it look so easy. When in reality anything I burn looks like a 5 yr old has been let loose. More practice I think.
Simply stunning piece, Martin.

Awesome bowl! The natural grain that came out when you finished the bowl gives the perfect counterbalance to your design. Love the Steampunk too.
Stunning - technical accuracy coupled with artistic flair.

Way to go Martin another wonderful piece. Thanks for sharing.
Superb photography Martin. It works really well with the bowl
Can't believe I have only just seen this video it's by far my favourite love the steampunk pyrography beautiful peice Martin
A really sweet piece. Great work Martin.
Well done yet again another great bowl you keep upping the stakes 😄till the next one thanks and save turning
.Hi martin. that piece takes you to another art level. i'm loving it
Astounding quality Martin you've jumped up to the next level mate
Love this piece Martin. You certainly have steady hands mate, that pyrography is simply superb! A clockwork tree... I like it :) I also liked the gradient on the front and the 2 differing finishes. The work on the bottom was inspired. Love it and thanks for the video!
Super! And nice to see a UK Turner actually putting curves on a bowl. The term "catenary curve" seems to have escaped the rest of them.
you are a very talented young fella , awesome work.
You are VERY talented my friend!! I love all the different designs you come up with. Thank you so very much for sharing your talents with us.
Hi Michael. Thanks for your comment, much appreciated.
All the best,
Martin
Stunning piece Martin.
A fantastic bit of pyrography and a great design. I love steampunk creations. A very elegant bowl design too. Cheers, Jim
Great Job Sir! Music too! Always remember as I do we use the "right hand" ! lol

Nicely printing. Looks very interesting. Like!
WOW! Beautiful work

Absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful video, Martin.
The idea of the movement is not bad, by the workpieces get new and beautiful appearance, through the use of spiritstain.
Nice work. Very detailed pyrography, great design. I never saw something like that before!
I have learned SO much watching you work and design projects. You give me the confidence to try many new things or designs. Just watching this I can tell I mat never have the patience for Pyrography. Beautiful work as always thanks for sharing.
excellent piece Mart
Great design work! My middle son loves steampunk.
Love your workshop!
I love the woodburning, Martin!
Very nice and it is interesting how your mind works to come up with your designs and turnings
I believe this is your finest work yet. What an awesome art piece you have created! Congratulations.
Great idea and beautiful results. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely awesome, very nice work.
Your work is Amazing. Thank you for your videos.
Very nice. Don't think I'll be trying this any time soon. It looks amazing.
That is a stunning piece of work, Sir. Very impressive!
Thank you very much for your kind words Michael. I am so pleased you enjoyed the video. I hope you continue to enjoy my productions.
Martin
Fantastic work!!!!!!!
A really beautiful bowl.The spring is a great finishing touch really adds to the design.
Love it so much, looks fantastic.
You said you're chuffed to bits with the finished product, I was too and I didn't even do it. Great Job.
Lol! Thanks, Kieth.
Nice bowl Martin, love the pyrography design and the added touch on the underside is very cool, makes for a very interesting piece of artwork. As always you set a very high standard in your craftsmanship.
Take care
Rob
amazing and the gradiant really shows the pyrography off more, you have just added another project to the list and more stuff to buy ;)
This is really lovely!
Very interesting project Martin. Beautiful piece! Thank you!
Outstanding piece Martin, definitely one of the best you've done. Good to see you back doing pyrography and with the steampunk twist. Thanks Simon
Lovely work once again Martin. Again. Loving the process you are taking us through. Really helps us newbies.
Dang it... now I really want to get a pyrography setup! Add that a carving setup and an airbrush painting setup already on the wishlist. Nice job!
-Todd
very nice piece of art . keep the videos coming and keep up the good work .
Stunning as always. Can't imagine ever having the patience or control to do the pyrography - anytime I've tried it I just end up with a burnt mess!
Amazing work very well done
That was awesome Martin! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Lovely. I loved the contrast in colours when you made your first cut after colouring the whole thing.
Thanks again for sharing; superb tutorial and stunning piece. Inspirational. Marc
Really great video. Great instructional steps and what a beautiful finished product! Thanks so much!!
