Woodturning | The Walnut Lava Bowl!

[@gratchets]

The thought and planning it takes for you to make these bowls is amazing and wonderful. They're gorgeous.

[@LordRae]

I’m definitely a fan of this aesthetic. Can’t wait to see what else you make.

[@formanwoodworking]

Thank you so much!

[@LadyKatJPhillips]

THANK YOU for using a clear color! The wood is floating! So fantastic!🎉

[@cathylebouef4026]

This is so cool; the bricks floating is so unique and creative! You are a great woodworker with an imagination to boot! Absolutely stunning work! Bravo!

[@warpo007]

The caressing of the stock at the start of the clips are why we are here.

[@curiousworld7912]

Pretty - pretty. :) I love the color combination, and the 'floating bricks' technique. Very, very nice! Thanks, as always. :)

[@formanwoodworking]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it!

[@StanWatt.]

You make it look so easy. Beautiful.

[@marycatherinelebouef-op4hf]

That’s a masterpiece! The floating bricks of that dark, gorgeous wood looks absolutely beautiful. Red is my favorite color, so this is right up my alley! Fantastic creativity and execution!

I have found a tenon has fewer problems than a mortise. Compression is more stable than pushing out when it comes ot holding a bowl in place.

[@jaysontwombly8261]

Wow! After reading about all the hassles that presented themselves, I even more appreciate this super cool bowl you produced! Love the wood and resin colors and together they really work nicely. Another great piece! Thanks!

[@formanwoodworking]

Thank you, Jayson! I sincerely appreciate the constant support, my friend! And yes... I think I might need to reconsider how I go about making this process less wasteful :)

[@eileenjackson7909]

What a fantastic bowl. I especially love the translucent color with this wood. Thank you for sharing your work.

[@formanwoodworking]

Thanks, Eileen! I'm glad you like it!

[@ВикторНикитин-ж9с]

A good idea, a great embodiment! My thanks to the Master!

[@davidgraham2673]

I like the way this looks like both a basket, and a well bucket for drawing water(very nice looking basket and bucket) Great choice on color choice too. PS. The chatoyance in the wood is fantastic looking.

[@formanwoodworking]

Thank you, David!

[@frann.8879]

A stunning piece, beautiful colors!👌👌😁😁…I also watched your video with the Jade bowl-another spectacular piece! Unbelievable creativity and craftsmanship!🌟🌟🌟

[@kevdimo6459]

Looks terrific i really like how the wood looks like it’s floating!

[@formanwoodworking]

Thank you, glad you liked it, Kev!

[@_zhawkeye_9808]

...what a cool effect!!!...very well done!...👍 Matt

[@STMwoodturning]

I read your description and you asked for viewers opinions so… here goes. I think the bowl looks great! Good job battling through the setbacks. I think this design has lots of possibilities to explore. Different woods and resin colors as well as shapes. I saw a video by a guy from Florida who made a similar bowl but he made resin segment rings and alternated them with wood segmented rings. He used five minute epoxy (I think) to glue up the rings. Cheers! Stuart

[@yvonnepagan9912]

Just gorgeous! And lovely colour scheme too!

[@kumiejoubert-vanniekerk8794]

Thanks, Nathan!

[@jamnjef1]

nice work Davis sorry your bowl broke off nice save looks good👍👍👍😁

[@formanwoodworking]

Thank you, Jeff!

[@CarlosMiranda-gm3pb]

Just beautiful!!!! what is the plastic you use to wrap the whole bowl before pouring resin? I thought he heat would have melted the resin. Thank you

[@jack8ttack207]

Looks amazing!

[@gracehug777]

Beautiful! But I was waiting to see how you got the center bowl out!

[@Tony-ot6ym]

Looks great as always!

[@formanwoodworking]

Thank you, Tony!

[@jerrygorman5030]

Your work is nothing less than amazing. I am retiring soon and am looking for a hobby and I think I would love doing this. Which one of your projects would you you recommenced for a newbies first project?

[@formanwoodworking]

Thank you, Jerry! I'm sure if you ask 10 different turners that question, you'll get 10 different answers. From my experience, I did try starting things off with bowls, and I don't think it was the greatest decision. Bowls are tricky. They're large, for starters, which makes things challenging for a whole bunch of reasons, and each part of the process requires a number of considerations. My first few bowl attempts were rather disastrous, and I remember they left me feeling a bit discouraged afterwards. Certainly not the best outcome when you're just starting out! After that, I decided to give pens a try, and I would personally recommend these to anyone just beginning. Pens, in my experience, are a much easier first step. You're dealing with much less material, which, one, makes approaching turning much less intimidating when you're just starting out, and two, it will take you much less time to finish a project. Even a beginner can finish turning a pen from start to finish in 1-3 hours, whereas a bowl might take a beginner days to complete. They're also less technically challenging to turn, meaning your odds of successfully completing a pen are much higher. In my opinion, pens are a great starting point as they allow you to develop your skills and get comfortable with the lathe/tools all while notching wins on your belt from successfully completing projects. I went back to bowls after turning... I don't know... maybe like 30-50 pens? And the difference was massive. The tools felt more comfortable in my hands, and I felt way more confident in working with the bigger material than I had when I first started out. If this interests you at all, I'd check out this video. It's probably the best pen turning video guide I've come across, and it's a great first place to start if pen turning is something you might be interested in: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e17Fq4uhnpx_nJY

[@tarapeters6711]

That is a beautiful bowl!

[@formanwoodworking]

Thank you, Tara!

[@RecklessG1]

Very beautiful piece, to me it has sort of a 60's retro feel.

[@sovietbear1917]

I love that resin color

[@formanwoodworking]

I wish it was a bit of a darker red, but I do like it as well!

[@barry.w.christie]

Beautiful combination of wood and resin ... might try this one day 👍 I've only just started turning, but I already don't fancy the mortice technique of holding a piece, to me you are forcing the wood apart when you expand the jaws to hold it ... a tenon would seem to be advantageous in this respect as it compresses the wood, i.e. it becomes stronger in certain respects.

[@fabianmenzi3233]

Hey! How long do you wait between pouring the resin and start to turn it? I know there are multiple diferent resins.. but do you wait till its fully hardened or do you start when its still ''soft'' ? For sure i will try to do one myself :)

[@markb5441]

That is so amazing!

[@corystepp2219]

Good morning, could you please tell me how much total volume of resin you used for this and did you pour it all at one time or do you have to do a little and wait?

[@jimhayes764]

Angle of wedges would be nice. Also lengths

[@REDVSBLUE-cj6ol]

nice job!!!

[@GabiFodorrasRO]

Great video 👍👍👍😎

[@formanwoodworking]

Thank you, Gabi!

[@silviagracielastaviaky8590]

Hermoso trabajo!!!! 👏👏👏💖💖💖🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

[@sparkman1965]

Curious on the plastic you are using

[@MrBENTPIN]

Has the hot glue ever let go on you?

[@DavidQuang85]

Là một tác phẩm tuyệt vời

[@lyndaowen2154]

Even though one of the brakes come undone, it is still a fantastic piece of work still beautiful

What’s the recipe for the hardening-liquid? 4:27

[@formanwoodworking]

This bowl was made with Magic Resin's deep pour epoxy resin

[@nabil-rr]

make small things like cup

[@duanehall1344]

The bearings sound horable

[@84deeanne]

why can't you explain ,talk etc inform!!!

[@TheUnseenWaffle]

Maybe because it's his channel, and he can do whatever he pleases. So if people don't like it. They can pound sand.
