A Pretty Bowl

[@janeoverby2151]

That is just GORGEOUS, Rod. What a lovely bowl. I giggled when I saw all the weights. God bless sir.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks so much, Jane! I just kept stacking those weights... couldn't stop... lol

[@janeoverby2151]

@R Humphrey I saw that 🤣🤣 it's beautiful

[@elenin.3228]

I don't comment as often as I used to, though I never miss a video, because I keep saying the same thing over and over again... But what else an I say? This is yet another masterpiece!

[@RHumphrey]

Always appreciated, Eleni! Thank you!

[@cobberpete1]

My comments are becoming very repetitive Rod, but how else to describe your creations. Beautiful as always. 😊

[@RHumphrey]

Always appreciated, Peter! Thanks very much!

[@denisvienat849]

Très belle réussite Rod bravo et beau tournage top 👍👏

[@RHumphrey]

Merci beaucoup, Denis!

[@richardcollins8130]

Beautiful turning Rod. The two woods complement each other. Well fone

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much, Richard!

[@nerm9507]

Inside radius is nice and tight. Great looking bowl. I know it wasn’t as easy as it looks

[@RHumphrey]

it took a lot of practice to get that radius right, thanks for seeing it!

[@claytonmoen1221]

Amazing. Again. You really need to publish a book with all of your knowledge and experiences. For the beginner like me and seasoned (pun intended) turner as well. What works and does knot (there I go again). Chesty Puller on the cover with his favotite gouge. Seriously, your faith has feet and you have a teachers heart. Semper Fi big brother. Thank You and Love You.

[@RHumphrey]

Clayton, my brother, you humble me with such words! Thank you very much. Semper Fi

[@russellstevens8461]

Hi Rod, yes it is nice to see you back. It is a beautiful piece of turning. God Bless you and your family.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much, Russell!

Stunning Bowl like the extra detail of the rim too the chatoyance of the whole thing was gorgeous

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks so much, Colin!

[@scottbeilsmith4261]

Ambrosia maple is a beautiful looking wood. And the Sapele ring really sets it off. Awesome as always Rod 👍.

[@280AI]

Incredible piece of wood and you certainly did it justice. More please.

[@mvecellio1]

Fantastic job as always. Love the top feature ring. Sapele has become my favorite turning wood.

[@charlesmcclure5994]

A beautiful piece of wood the grain is outstanding 👍👍

[@LadyKatJPhillips]

I'm so happy for you that this wood has such gorgeous figure in it. That Saplele ring is an excellent finish!

HI R HUMPHREY beautiful wood and beautifuly turned.

[@lyndacarter5090]

So gorgeous; love that rippled look in the wood. Nice work.

[@maddmaxx6730]

I like the segments on top, really adds some character and depth.

[@dougrobinson9236]

Wow. This looks great Rod. Amazing craftsmanship and artistry,

[@jarmstrong2843]

Usually you turn bowls from a chunk of wood that end up being being beautiful pieces. But this time, the feature ring on this bowl took things to a new dimension and enhanced the figure of the wood even more. Ya knocked it out of the ball park on this one, Rod!! Semper Fi, brother

[@RHumphrey]

I appreciate that very much, John! S/F

[@jnol9009]

That is a gorgeous bowl. Absolutely beautiful. Well done and thx.

[@jilldavies7094]

That's a very pretty bowl, Rod. I could watch it revolve on your turntable for hours, just catching the shifting gleam of the satiny maple.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much, Jill! 😊

[@MASI_forging]

Outstanding work. 👏👏

[@sydneymcconnaughhay5947]

I can't believe how plain wood glue holds the segmented ring on that bowl.🤔.You my friend are the Master ,,!!! Who ever receives this work of art is very lucky. 😊😊

[@RHumphrey]

It amazes me at times too, this wood glue. But it holds up through decades from my own experience. Thanks for the kindness, Sydney! 😊

[@ellengraham4677]

Rod that is a very beautiful bowl.😘😘 stay safe God bless.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, my friend!

[@matthewcienki8064]

All those weights on top for gluing the ring on was a great idea and quite humorous. I love the bowl projects that you do! Glad to see you back to making them again. Awesome!

[@RHumphrey]

lol, thanks, Matthew! I'd have put more weights on but ran out of room... 🤣

[@tlemon1950]

Beautiful, well thought out and great choice of woods.

[@bonnysmith4908]

[@johnspencer1146]

That's beautiful Rod, such talent.

[@ellenyager9577]

I love the tiny bits of maple in between the segments in the top. It tied the two major woods together beautifully! I hope all is well! Give Edgar a hug for me! Amen to John 3:16! God bless you, and, to honor your service, Semper Fi!

[@RHumphrey]

Edgar has been hugged... he tolerated it, lol. Thank you, Ellen!

[@ellenyager9577]

Tell Edgar he is lucky I didn’t say “Kiss Edgar for me!” MLOL! MLOL! (Meow laugh out loud.)

[@TheMessyStudio]

That's not a pretty bowl, Top... it's gorgeous! Love all the curl and figure! The segmented top ring accents it perfectly!

[@copperowlwoodturning5929]

Gorgeous bowl, Rod. Take care. 😊😊

Beautiful bowl. I love Ambrosia Maple, it is so wonderful, good to work with also. The next to last view where the figure shows is awesome. Stay safe.

Thanks, Harry! It really is stunning figure, the camera doesn't do it justice.

[@stevewhite8161]

Hi Rod, The figure in the Ambrosia Maple is amazing and the feature ring works really well with it. Lovely bowl rod. I've had the RZ Mask for about 3 years now and they are brilliant. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

[@drgruber57]

Very nice, Rod. That Maple had enough beauty of it's own, but of course, the Sapele segmented ring added another beautiful dimension. BTW: I also have been using the RZ mask and I really like it as well. Light weight and fits under the face shield nicely.

[@theangrywoodturner9972]

Beautiful piece of maple the Beatles did a fantastic job..and the figure is wonderful. Sometimes we get really lucky what we find inside a piece of wood. (By the way you missed a wonderful AAW symposium in Louisville) Stay safe my friend...

[@rayworstine4399]

Good morning, Rod. It is nice being with you today. It felt right being in your shop and hearing about your project. I have been away from the lathe for a while and this video will inspire a return soon. The blank used today was beautiful in itself, the feature ring took it to another level. In the end, one Pretty Bowl. It never ceases to amaze, the hidden wonders of wood. Sharp tools, an inspiration and the use of time given, yielded a bowl that will be viewed for years and years to come. Most folks will remember the scripture verse and it is worth repeating. All the best as you continue moving forward. May a peace fall over our world. God bless. Semper Fi

[@RHumphrey]

Good evening my friend! Well said. Get yourself out to that lathe! S/F

Rod, another amazing piece that demonstrates critical eye in wood selecion and combination. Your craftmanship is a cut above the much of what I see on this platform. Thank you for being a great role model for turners working to become all that they hope to be. Semper Fi

Very kind of you to say, Allen, and much appreciated!

Hey Rod, great bowl. I just noticed this video and realized that I am no longer getting notifications from your channel. I double checked my feed and sure enough I missed the last three videos that you posted. I was still subscribed to your channel, but no notifications. Just FYI 😇

[@unclemoe5733]

That has to be one of the Prettiest pieces I've ever seen! And I've made and seen a bunch! Great combination Rod. I got one going now that is gunna be impressive. I will send you pics when finished. Gunna have a Resin finish.

Thanks very much, Matt, I appreciate that! And, yes, I agree, the RZ mask is really nice. No fogging is a huge plus, I've been fighting that problem forever... until now 😊

Thanks, Mel!

Great one! Inspiring for someone who wants to dip their toe into segmented turning. I have an RZ mask. It works… but I have a giant head lol. So it’s juuuuust big enough to hook in the back. I need a Velcro extension!

[@jeffreyreed5299]

Very Nice

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks, Jeffrey!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Pretty bowl indeed. Between the ambrosia and the curl this chunk of wood has a lot going on. While it may sound like sacrilege, a bit of color would have made that curl go crazy. Your segmented rim was a nice touch as well. Way to go!

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much, Doug! I know what you mean with the color, I've seen some gorgeous work done with staining over figure. 😊

Hi Rod. I recess for my coins after removing the tenon so I’m sometimes worried about the tip of my forstner bit poking through. Think I’ll practice your way. Thanks for another tip. The bowl is a beauty.

[@RHumphrey]

Hi Wakely! I have a couple extra forstner bits that I use sometimes if I have to offset the coin for some reason. I ground off the tip of those bits for that very reason and they still work well. 😊

[@paulrapp6]

Rod, Item the first: Absolutely stunning bowl. Item the second: Did you have enough weight on the feature ring for the glue-up? Keep the aspidistra flying! Semper fi. God bless, Paul

[@alansimpson596]

Welcome back Rod with two beautiful woods brought together resulting in a stunning bowl. I'm almost finished my gardening duties which keeps the bride happy so I hope to get back on the lathe within the next few days. May I ask where you purchase your ID coins? Semper Fi

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you Alan! Ah, the gardening duties never really end... I was gifted the coins by a subscriber.
