Woodturning a Maple Bowl with CLING WRAP!

[@hattestofmads]

I feel like I have watched hundreds (at least) of wood turning videos just because I find it interesting and have never before seen that kind of paint done. It is so rad. Thanks for the video, very cool.

[@PFWoodturning]

Cool, thanks so much!!!

[@robertbodine4705]

Nicely done. Natural wood is great and we all love it but kudos to you for adding color and stepping out a bit on design. Thanks for the ideas and videos. Great techniques that I'll definitely try.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@scungio13]

Beautiful !!! And love that you are dressed like a boss while turning wood !! You go girl

[@PFWoodturning]

😊 thank you

[@robinmichael8544]

Beautiful coloring. I like being experimental. It shows that old craftmanship and new modern tecniques can nicely mix together 👍

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@bobcade1002]

Nice finishing technique. Unusual look on the outside, beautiful maple on the inside. Very well done!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Bob!

[@jackbonawitz1483]

First, I love your commentary as you work. So many of the wood-turning videos assume that we know what is being done and why. Second, I am surprised you often work with long sleeves. I was taught never to do that around tools like the lathe. Third, I appreciate that you are willing to take chances. So many of the other wood-turning videos are the same old thing: big piece of wood turned into a bowl. You're willing to try something different. Thanks for your efforts!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks 👍Most of the time when I wear long sleeves is to protect my arms. Stuff coming off the piece can be sharp or hot (especially with resin). I just try to have sleeves that aren't puffy or dangling. Thanks for watching!

[@justme2423]

Beautiful. What an inspiration it is to see a woman using a lathe. I watch a lot of men on youtube. It is nice to see a "woman's touch".

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@theripper0331]

Very nice bowl, dont worry about negative comments. I enjoyed seeing you do something creative instead of the typical videos you see of this type of thing. Very well done and keep up the good work. You inspired me to finally get a lathe and have a go at it!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks so much! Happy turning!!!

[@michaelpalmer8632]

Beautifully done, pleased l found your channel, as a 73year old getting his first lathe for Christmas l find your work very inspiring, thankyou look forward to viewing more of your work.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Michael! Have fun with your lathe!

[@desireemcmurtrie7206]

Michael Palmer we are never to old to enjoy ourselves. Merry Christmas from New Zealand. Have fun with your Christmas present.

[@marketplace3220]

New Turner from the UK. Fantastic video Kim.

[@PFWoodturning]

It's Peggy.

[@sharonyoung8251]

Love this bowl. The painted outside is on my colors and the cling wrap gave a great texture. I live working with interference paints, it is always a surprise when you see the finished product.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Sharon!

[@geofkusch3934]

I have the Oneway bowl saver and like it very much. Comes with excellent instructional video. Very important to sharpen the cutters frequently and be patient.

[@PFWoodturning]

Good to know, thank you!

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

I've used cling wrap, but manipulating the finish before removal never occurred to me. I like it!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Jack!

[@dougthatcher3521]

Wonderful creativity! I'm coming in at different times in your 3 or so year postings, and the early projects are just as good as the later ones! This one sure has a pottery look,,, quite nice indeed!

[@PFWoodturning]

😎✌️

[@tpobrienjr]

Fine looking piece. Thanks for identifying the products - it helps me.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Thomas. No problem.

[@gavincoyle]

Beautiful Peggy absolutely beautiful really different and what a cool paint job love it 👍👍👍

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks much, Gavin! Happy New Year.

[@todddembsky8321]

Gosh, it must be the permafrost on my brain, I really think the marbling effect of the paint. Gives the bowl a look like it was carved out of deep blue glacial ice. I really like that you color outside the lines. If you do not push the boundaries, you will eventually get stuck. In the immortal words of Samual Clemens 'Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.' Keep on swimming Old Man Minnesota

[@PFWoodturning]

Great words! Thanks, Todd! ✌

[@joelnickerson6739]

Another awesome job Peggy. You're an amazing woodworker. Love your editing too.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@garybenjamin5602]

Keep stretching those boundaries, it is a great way to improve, I like it

[@PFWoodturning]

Indeed😎

[@PHIL_S]

I prefer the cling wrap method (used on plain grain woods) - I use the cling wrap after words to dab the necessary spots since it will have paint on it - nicely done and thanks for taking the time to share with us.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks for sharing!

[@davidnielsen4490]

Very creative Peggy. You did some planning to make come out as nice as it did. Have a great week.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, David!

[@cmcconn100]

Nice bowl. Pretty finish. Great job narrating, as a newbie, I appreciate the tips and blow by blow.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@countryman9199]

Very nice bowl , the coloring is beautiful

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Carl!

[@drew.silverotter]

Peggy once again you have produced a beautiful bowl. Colours are incredible contrasting with the natural colour of the maple. ✌️🌼🙏

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you, Andrew!

[@jarmstrong2843]

What a neat technique to add color. Pretty creative. Perhaps you should call it the Klingon technique whose name is inspired by Star Trek. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@PFWoodturning]

Ha! Good idea!! Thanks.

[@ViKee010]

I love it! Fun to watch you create. Thanks 😊🤍💜💚👍🏼

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks so much 😊

[@thomashester739]

Love the bowl .I know some like the wood and maple is awesome but the color was soft and was so easy on the eyes . The imagination could go wild with the colors you could use. Great bowl and ideas

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you so much 😀

[@johnpbh]

What a great technique with the iridescent paints. Will definitely be putting that down on the "need to try" list. I've been looking at the Jo Sonja paints for a week or two as something to try so will be going there once I have mastered the Intrinsic colours. Intriguing how a lot of the commentators wouldn't have coloured the outside of the bowl but I think you get the plenty of the grain showing on the inside and it's the contrast between the outside and inside that is the eye catcher here.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks. I agree on the contrast.

[@woodman3416]

Love watching and listening to your videos. Great looking bowl.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you 😊

[@abbyd323]

Love the blue.. it's different and beautiful!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Woodden]

The paint gives it a old world look. Looks great!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks much!

[@barryparks4689]

Looks fabulous. So different, well done!!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Barry!

[@terrencepowell270]

I like your work very much. The bowl saver is a great idea. I have a One-Way and it is easier to sharpen and replace cutting tips. When I bought one, I found that selling the extra bowls paid for the system. I have friends who bought other systems and found that sharpening or replacing tips were more expensive and more difficult. I am glad I got the One-Way. Keep turning and have fun.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks for the info, Terrence! Much appreciated.

[@terrykidd4417]

You done a better job then I could do. Your tool rest, it's not many that you see on here like yours, it has a carbon bead on it. Your tools slide so easy. You see all those other guys with a big fancy lathe but still have the tool rest where you have to drag your tools across it. Terry

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@haydnkett5345]

I've not seen that technique before. Well done Peggy. It finished up great.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@brucemullis479]

You may be the best dressed turner in history. Enjoy your videos.

[@PFWoodturning]

Ha! Small clip of my real job clothes there...

[@alexmurray1639]

You have a very soothing voice. Edit: I know everyone seems to be downing the paint/coloring but it does look very nice considering that I haven't seen anyone else doing this. Can't wait to see more of your work.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you! :-)

[@marleneottenbreit]

I am not a wood turner so I love the commentary you provide. I do like the natural wood grain but the paint turned out better than I thought it would. Keep up the good work. Bless you!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@kirkphillips3725]

Wow nice work,one of the better videos I have watched😁👍

[@PFWoodturning]

Thans, Kirk!

[@richardmcadams597]

Nice work Peggy, I have the one-way system and it does a great job. The Learning curve is not to steep and its a sturdy device. The biggest issue was getting the system delivered from one way. Mine has four knives and I wanted the system delivered as a complete package. At the time there was some issue in the production line. And it took months to get to me. ( hopefully you won't face that problem ) But once it arrived it was ready to go. Their accompanying video was strait forward and very helpful. I would suggest getting their little grinding jig for the cutters it makes sharpening them so much easier.

[@PFWoodturning]

Nice, thank for the info!!!!

[@julierogers6280]

Nice looking bowl!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Julie!

[@paulflora53]

I like it a lot haven't done anything like it but I'm going to once I finish rebuilding my old shopsmith lathe

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks! Good luck with rebuilding!

[@forloveofthegrain]

Shopsmith is a gateway tool lol that's what I started on and still use to this day but I got a laguna revo 1836 for bigger more stable turning.

[@paulflora53]

@@forloveofthegrain wish I could afford Laguna revo but being on a fixed income cant afford one lol Veteran's disability doesn't go far.

[@iandlv6835]

Great video Peggy. I like that you tell us your lathe speeds and how much you have increased the speed of the clip.

[@PFWoodturning]

Good to know, thanks for watching!

[@lugar05]

So so cool

[@woodworkingskillwithsagar8802]

Awesome look

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks very much!

[@SeraphusInferis]

I got a wood lathe last year, and I have been watching all that KZbin has to offer, but this is the first of your videos I have had the pleasure of watching. You're also the only person I've subscribed to for woodworking. I found this very easy to follow, and (nicely enough) very calming. Thank you for that. I'm not sure if that style of painting is for me, but it turned out very well. Excellent video; thank you.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks so much!

[@deconkeys562]

I think this a really good technique. It certainly would give me a variety of looks for my bowls. I would be willing to try it on a piece of pine. - but never that beautiful maple.

[@PFWoodturning]

Yes, this maple grain/figure was really beautiful.

[@woodturningwithDave]

Beautiful maple bowl,and Merry Christmas

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Merry Christmas to you!

[@ernestwhite8513]

Equal spacing on circles is most accuratly using the fact that the radius makes eight equal spaces on the circle. Then subdivide into sixteen etc

[@PFWoodturning]

thanks.

[@berhanegebriel3155]

Yes! It's a beautifully made bowl.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks much!

[@josephwise485]

Peggy, simply fantastic. I thought you were putting different colors on, guess I was wrong. Thanks.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@carolriley8472]

Gorgeous bowl...love the grain in the wood. You've been watching Wayne Clasper...I love when he uses that technique, but I wouldn't have colored curly maple.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Carol.

[@SamThomasTwistedCraftsUK]

That's gives off a really cool effect Peggy nice job! 👍👌👍

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Sam!!!

[@HMaktoum]

Smart coloring

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@ardisanderson9194]

Woodturners, like woodworkers in general, tend to love wood. We may have different judgements about what kind of wood, if any, should be colored, and about whether it enhances or obscures the beauty of the piece. But... if you want to sell the work you produce, it’s the customer, and not other turners whose preferences need to be considered. A lot of woodturners, and even more customers like color. Finding the balance between your own aesthetic intuition and your customer’s wishes is all that really matters. Good job for not just falling into the wood worshipping trap.

[@PFWoodturning]

Very true. Thank you!

[@jefflabrosse7044]

A very beautiful Bowl I like the idea of the cling wrap it seemed to work very well like some of the others I think I would have left that one alone and just used the natural curl of the bowl all in all though a very beautiful Bowl

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@ernestwhite8513]

Beautiful wood grain is mother nature’s’ gift, but your coloring efforts are your own and I think far more rare and archiveable than hers. Please keep up your fine art‼️

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Great looking bowl 👍

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@davidwolford4655]

Looks nice. Your “shop” clothes are better than my “church” goin clothes. Nice video

[@PFWoodturning]

Ha!! Thanks!

[@mmgross144]

Peggy keep on experimenting! While in my decorative painting company days, I used to apply cling wrap to glaze over paint to achieve a very nice leather effect. I don't see why it won't work on wood. I would suggest using a water-base poly over water-base paints so that their curing time/processes will be in sync. Oil-based varnish over a water-base finish is another way to get a cracked/distressed leather effect. I wonder if the interference paint can be thinned enough to use it as a stain or dye to accent the tiger-striped grain.

[@PFWoodturning]

Cool. Thanks for watching!!

[@dougrobins8291]

I like the contrast between the outside and inside of your bowl!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Doug!

[@roadrunner4404]

Yet another wonderful piece. Girl you need a bowl saver and you could have a matched set of 2.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks! Exactly!!!!

[@pfiltz]

As always... one of my favorite wood workers. Lovely work.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks very much!

[@pfiltz]

@@PFWoodturning May I ask a question of you? That carbide tool that you use. The one that has the round insert. Does that work "easier" or "better" than a bowl gouge in the radius of bowls? I have some hesitations when it comes to working in those radius's. I turned 2 bowls and a votive candle holder this weekend from scrap pine 4x6" blocks that we burn at work, and making that radius always makes me a bit skiddish... ;) Thanks for any information you can pass on to a newb in that area.

[@DiemenDesign]

Very nice Peggy, love the Fiddleback in this piece.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@RickTurnsWoodturning]

That bowl is awesome, Peggy!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Rick! Cheers!

[@dblehar]

i have the oneway coring system, works great. Definitely worth the investment.

[@PFWoodturning]

Awesome, thanks for the info!!! I've heard others like the OneWay too.

[@dblehar]

@@PFWoodturning oh, I should mention too, just start with the smallest knife set and then you can determine which others you want/need. When all is said and done its a pretty rare bowl blank that needs larger than the 11 inch. It'll make more sense once you start using it, but you can use different sets for the same diameter bowl, but the bigger the set the shallower the bowl blank will be, so I use the smallest set possible

[@thevillagewoodturners3879]

Sorry Peggy you lost it for me when the paint went on.a lovely piece of wood on the inside but the outside, not for me,but that’s just my taste you understand Cheers Les

[@PFWoodturning]

Cheers! Thanks for watching!

[@cortlandhunt4721]

Nice bowl Peggy. I use the Woodcut bowl saver, Packard tools sell here in US. I’m very happy with it. I had a 19” x10” deep roughed out piece of Cedar Elm ended up with 5 bowls using just 2 cutters. Takes a little adjusting to get that many, but can be done.

[@SiamWoodShop]

Nice bowl Peggy, the wrap technique is interesting. In a previous life I had a studio where we used extensively Jo Sonja products. With the iridescent colours, the darker (deeper) the base colour the more vivid the iridescence turns out. great result, oh yes, I'm still up for adoption :-)

[@PFWoodturning]

Ha! Thanks for watching!!

[@DavidAdamsen]

Nice work, Peggy! I love that curl in the wood. It's almost fiddleback! It's almost a pitty to have lost some of the curl through coloring, but what a fantastic effect from clingwrap!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, David!

[@judasgomez3055]

Hello Peggy. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing work it is really a great source of inspiration fot me. I wanted to ask if you could maybe do a video on how you sharpen your tools. Degrees you like and all that. Specially how you like your bowl gouge. Thank you very much in advance and forgive me for asking. Greetings from México =)

[@PFWoodturning]

Hello Mexico! I will certainly consider a video on sharpening. Thanks for watching!

[@williampressley3625]

Just found your channel and I have to say that you certainly do beautiful work I subscribed immediately and definitely invest in the bowl saver it's definitely worth it especially for the nicer or finer pieces of wood like the figured maple. Keep up the good work I look forward to seeing more videos
