Hand turned vase using iridescent paints

[@billlawrence4219]

Beautiful effect. Never realised this sort of paint application would look so good. Nice video 👍🏼

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Thanks Bill

[@mamabearssheshedtracykeato6941]

Wayne I have to say, that I really appreciate you bringing this type of medium into wood turning! This truly makes fantastic patterns and the iridescents in the pieces just pop beautifully! I have to share! Many blessings to you my friend!

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

That's very nice of you to say Tracy, I've got to add that I'm not the first or last to bring colour to woodturning. There are turners here in the UK that are a lot more proficient than me, Thanks for sharing

[@ClintHitchcock]

Awesome technique. Can't wait to try. Thank you for sharing

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Howdy, Brother! Your sting technique is brilliant! I'lI give it a try. If you're ever visiting Texas, you have a place to hang your hat! Thanks for posting.

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Thank you very much Robert. Hopefully one of these fine days

[@crackerjack3359]

Really nice. Striking actually. I do believe I watched this 4 years ago but it reminded me that this should be on my bucket list. I assume the black undercoat is just a gloss sprayed lacquer but can imagine other base colours could work also.

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Cheers, With the Jo Sonja iridecsnt paints you need a dark or black background

[@mikeatkinson5611]

I love the way that came out Wayne. Great job.

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Thanks Mike

[@edwinleach4013]

Great idea. Can't wait to see the finished vase.

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Thanks Edwin, I put photos of the finished vase on face book

[@lenmullin3216]

Wayne, some of us aren't on Face Book, so we don't get to see the finished piece. What a bummer!!!

[@davene4507]

Well thats a keeper Wayne, many thanks for sharing the video. Linda and myself remember doing this idea at school and then the real world kicks in and you forget these little ideas(45 + years ago), we will have to try this and post on FB if we have success, cheers for the video, The Knackered Geordie

Just come over from the shout out Joe gave you on his live show and subbed, so pleased I did. Never seen anything like this done before and looking forward to watching some of your older videos and what's to come. Love the accent, if your still living in Newcastle area I'm not too far away just a bot west in Carlisle. Well done!

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Hi Paul, thanks for the comment. I'm not in the Newcastle area any more I'm just a bit West of you in Dumfries

Thanks Huey

[@ericwinckler5142]

Wayne I was so pleased to see this video and the beautiful vase when it was finished. I would like to know what the paints were , I am not sure if we can get the same here in the USA. I have a black goblet and I think that string paint would be so good for that goblet. If I did it from the top down it may look like flowers. But any way love all you share and thank you for your kindness for sharing what you do , it gives us an encouragement to try something new.

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Hi Eric thanks for the comment. The paints are are Jo Sonja iridescent paints, they are made in the USA so you should be able to get them, try josonja.com/

[@maxforest3071]

Awesome technique! Turned out great 👍

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Thanks Mike

[@thomasckuzia7129]

Hi Wayne, Just found your channel and subscribed! I have never been able to paint anything artistic and I can't tell you just how excited I am about trying this on my wood turnings! I ave a ton of questions but will check out your other videos to see if I can find the answers! Thanks for a great video and maybe making me an "artist"!! LOL Tom

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Thanks for watching Tom, good luck with you artistic ventures

[@sjscreations2608]

Absolutely ingenious! I’ve never seen that technique, but saying that, I don’t get out much.....or at all! My wife keeps me in a cage and feeds me KZbin videos and come my birthday and Christmas I get Ryobi One Tools to play with! But in all seriousness, that looks fantastic! Congrats! Cheers, Sean

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Thanks Sean, I'm the same but a video popped up with the string pull, hooked

[@DaveTheWoodBarber]

Fantastic and graceful effect Wayne

Hi Wayne Man that is stunning art work a must try this my self. Y.N.W.A. Paul

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Thanks Paul

[@Ronalcock1]

BEAUTIFUL. Ron ik Chesterfield

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Thanks Ron

[@geofo60]

Really effective Wayne. Do you clear lacquer over the top & buff/polish ? I guess you could use an airbrush to put a pearlescent finish on before you do the string pull ? It looks kind of Oriental. Definitely going to have a go at some time. Thanks for sharing, Geof

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Thanks Geof, yes I use a clear lacquer to finish

[@lenmullin3216]

Wayne, because some of us don't do Face Book, could you please post the pics in your next video? I would really like to see the finished vase, especially, after the paints have turned to their intended colors.

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Hi Len, thanks for the comment and I’ve taken on board what you’ve said. Next time I’ll put photos at the end of the video

[@ESCAGEDOWOODWORKING]

very cool!!

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Thanks Elio

[@jasonaddis2104]

great technique with some stunning resuts wayne. couple of questions if you don't mind, 1 was your black base coat dry on the vase and second, what would be your prefered finish

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

jason addis thanks for the comment, yes the black was dry and my preferred finish on these is a spray on gloss lacquer

[@jasonaddis2104]

@@WaynetheWoodturner thaks can't wait to give it a whirl .

Thanks for sharing, great. Will you be at ukiws end June? Would be great to say hello

[@dennisbeamish9058]

Hi Wayne! I just discovered your channel yesterday and became an immediate subscriber!! Cannot wait to learn this painting skill! Just a note (question) on this piece - did you consider having the images in reverse to the "blooms" of the flowe are at the top of the vase and stems at the bottom? Love your work. thanks for sharing . Regards Dennis Beamish Cambridge Ontario Canada.

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Hi Dennis, thanks for the comments and sub. In answer to your question I hadn't thought to put the blooms at the bottom

[@rontocknell3592]

The effects of this technique is undeniably beautiful. But I felt that the application was a little bit messy. You have inspired me to experiment with this technique but I think I would be inclined to try to avoid the smudging where you held the string down with a finger by holding it down on a waste area or perhaps a masked area. This was the only part of the process that I feel let it down. So it still gets a thumbs up from me... but it could have got a thumbs upper (thumbs upper?? Well, you know what I mean)

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Cheers Ron, pleased you liked it, next time I'll for an upper

[@dennisbeamish9058]

Hi Wayne - nice work. Question please? Was the black base paint dry when you applied the string pull? Thanks Dennis Beamish Cambridge Ontario Canada

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Hi Dennis, thanks for the comment, yes the base coat is a gloss spray paint and was dry

[@robs.patrick9691]

What ratio of flow medium and iridescent paint do you use? Great job Thank You!

[@WaynetheWoodturner]

Hi Rob, I use 75/25 paint to medium
