Woodturning - Golden Apple Bowl (Kintsugi)

This piece of Apple wood came from my parent’s house in Ohio. It was an interesting combination of really hard fruit wood, but also had some pretty punky, spalted areas. Turning it was pretty straightforward and standard woodturning techniques worked fine. The only real trick was trying to decide what to do with the cracks. Ultimately, I decided to go with the Japanese art of Kintsugi and used gold epoxy resin. The color of the resin actually blended really well with the apple wood.

Really pretty bowl, I wasn't sure that it would hold together until you could do the resin work.But I'm glad all was ok. Thanks for sharing😘😘🐉

Thank you! It was actually a pretty solid piece, though it did have a couple of rotted sections.

Shaving that epoxy off makes me think of an explosion at the silly string factory.

[@user-zk8ux1oq9k]

Decent result, but I'm afraid this turner has come on my list of wood turners I will never watch again because of using the carbide tools almost entirely scraping the shape of the product.

[@jstevenanderson9227]

Another turner who would rather use scrappers than learn to use proper tools

[@CASWoodcraft]

I’ve learned to use all the tools. When I choose a “scraper” it’s because it’s the best tool for the job.

Привет!!! Я с Беларуси, подписался и Лайк, . А я оставил бы кромку из смолы на верху изделия, было бы вообще СУПЕР. Напишите мне пожалуйста своё мнение.
