You make garbage look gorgeous. THAT'S real talent!!! Kim, could the floor be why all your lathes have a wobble?

[@xyz9250]

Really nice! I am also glad you didn’t fill the wormholes with some silly epoxy.

[@kenvasko2285]

I liked that you had to keep fighting the bowl and you won! You kept at it. Thanks

[@nighteagle317]

Absolutely fabulous grain in that wood. You have the patience of a saint Kim to continue going on this piece with the bug holes and cracks. Great work Girl! Paige, a fellow female turner

[@KimTippin]

Thanks Paige!! Thanks for the kind words too!

[@pwmoffitt]

Great spalting design, love it,

[@debrachalfin6968]

Kim, you are a magnificent wood turner! First time to your channel and I was hooked on your work.

[@KimTippin]

Thank You Debra! 🤗

[@mrgrnjns1111]

Beautiful piece of wood.. I turn a lot of spalted stuff as well... Love it. Love the challenge of not knowing if it's too punky or not and then stabilizing it... Good turning..

[@monopinion8799]

Beautiful peace of art . Very good work. It’s a good idea you mentioned at the beginning regarding the cracked. I use tp. Works great. Tp is thinner and I use 2-3 layers and use clear glue ( Buy by the gallon) and wrapping it for a week. The crack is practically almost a well connected line. Be safe.

[@williamellis8993]

Beautiful bowl and spectacular spalting/grain pattern. It was well worth the effort you put into it.

[@KimTippin]

Thanks William!

[@bryanbard1840]

Cool looking spalting and beautiful work.

Lovely large bowl. I like how you handled the cracks and other problem areas

[@rmacbow]

Beautiful, thanks for showing your skill and process.

[@KimTippin]

Thank you for watching Ron!🤗

[@kellywood3068]

Kim, I love the attention to detail, and how "hands on" you are with your project, my only thought is a safety concern. I did not see you wearing any kind of respiratory protection. Please remember safety first. Beautiful outcome by the way.

[@monopinion8799]

Kim, I just happened to go down to all your previous work and noticed that I have not seen this one. I was shocked! I do like oak but hate to work with it because it’s so hard and tough on the tools. However I have never ever seen an oak piece as beautiful, as remarkable as this one. It must have been a wonderful feeling to turn such a majestic piece. That’s how I feel when I get a beautiful piece. I feel so honoured to turn them. Then once finish well you know, I gave them away. Until I found out that they would sell them away. I’m very hurt and disappointed. Now I pile them up in my basement. Enough of that. Kim I’m very happy for you. Your work is incredibly beautiful and I love your sense of humour and overall personality. Take care, be safe and God Bless you girl.

[@KimTippin]

lol 😆 Thank you so much 🤗 God bless 🙏

[@mnp1964]

Wow what a gorgeous beautiful bowel absolutely stunning with the cracks you made something stunning with a piece of wood most would have turned into fire wood thank you for that wonderful trick for cracked wood I have some I will be using it on Blessings to you and yours

Thank you Joey🤗

[@robinshay9180]

Hey Kim, that was very brave of you to take this piece of wood on. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone work a piece of wood as hard as you did. You are an inspiration. The bowl turned out stunning. Subscribed!

[@KimTippin]

Thanks Robin! wow! 🤗😁🤗

[@carolriley569]

That is such a gorgeous bowl...amazing grain! Funny, I wear cowboy boots when I turn, too.

Great minds think alike!! ;)

[@bluemtnsman]

Magnificent bit of work. I like your approach and insight into what is visually appealing. Peace always.

[@KimTippin]

Thank you so much 🤗🤗

[@alz251]

Nice piece of wood, you lucked out . Like your attention to detail. You do nice work.

[@garryevans3594]

very nice letting it dry completely and applying second coat seems to help. very nice.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Gorgeous piece of spalted oak, Kim, and you made a beautiful bowl from it. As for the dull spots, I think that may actually be the punkier places that absorbed the finish so that it won't shine. Any friction polish (like OB) is a building finish and the shine is a result of the heat from friction. If it soaks in and doesn't build, it won't shine. Billy

[@KimTippin]

Thanks!! Yeah, the shine wasn't so much on the black part of the spalting. Thanks for the info and the kind words!

[@danwalton395]

Beautiful piece and oh that spalting!

[@KimTippin]

Thank you so much 🤗

Thanks Don!!

[@georgecooke2600]

Pretty WORK! FROM Richmond VA!!!

[@billy19461]

I had this exact same problem and come to find out my head stock and tail stock were not aligned properly. I agree with Jim, would love to have more voice over. Beautiful bowl and will try the paper towels and glue. I use food grade epoxy to seal bowls like this.

[@andrewingram2108]

Beautiful work

[@stewart51able]

WOW ,love the grain in that piece...!

[@BAKWoodturning]

Gorgeous peice. I have had the same issue with the OB shine juice when I use sanding paste.

[@KimTippin]

Thank you very much! 🤗🤗

[@Mjddjmmjd]

That's a beautiful piece

[@KimTippin]

thank you Mark!

[@christinekaye6393]

I think it's beautiful! I am SO happy to finally come across a woman wood turner! I've become fascinated by turning and have watched a lot of videos. I'd begun to think only men did this. Ha ha! Thanks for showing me a fine example of how women do it!!

[@KimTippin]

Thank you Christine!! I am sure there are many other women turners who do it much better, but I am working on the "much better" part. I am blesses to have the oppertunity to turn and to share my growth as a turner. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement! GOD BLESS 🤗♥️

[@crog9750]

lots of ladys turn i bought my lathe off an old lady that turned on sundays true story

That is awesome!

[@KimTippin]

Thank you so much!

[@hendrikjbboss9973]

Absolutely awesome!

[@KimTippin]

Thank you so much! 🤗🤗

[@WoodnMetalShoppe]

The dull spots are a soft area that absorbs the finish. Also lacquer is not a good sealer. Use a thinned or a spray shellac or a water based polyacrylic sealer. Beautiful bowl. Love the grain. Nice work. I subbed too.

[@KimTippin]

Thank you! And thanks for the tip. I will try thinned shellac. thanks for the sub!

[@coswood3454]

Beautiful bowl 🤗

Very nice piece,great work,informative as far as crack repairs go. Music?? Maybe I’m just getting old 😂😂😂😂

[@robmcgrath5202]

Kim, this is my first of your videos and I enjoyed it. Your bowl turned out beautifully. I have a bunch of spalted oak like that and had to laugh when you were pulling that worm out of the hole. Can't count how many times I've done that. Some might not realize how challenging it is to work with oak that punky but if you can pull it off you get beautiful results. I've even made some pens out of it and when you get that small you really have to be careful, it will sometimes just shatter into pieces. Thanks for the video.

[@KimTippin]

Thanks Rob! Yeah, I made bracelets that just snapped. The stuff is so chippy and unpredictable. When I started to learn how to turn I got a bunch of wood for my sister's burn pile Oh, it was all spalted Oak. So the very first would I learn to turn was spalted Oak. I didn't have any other kind of wood to turn at the time, so I just made it work. Start off at the hard stuff we go from there. LOL

[@humbertoaraica8055]

GORGEOUS JOB.

[@KimTippin]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@d.w.tochermusic5370]

i love making bowls and spalted birch and maple turnings but theyre too hard to sell few people have the kind of money theyre worth so im sticking to spalted braclets and earings bead necklace ect they sell at markets and you can make a living doing what you love

[@briansowers8765]

Love this bowl and 5:17

[@boooshes]

I agree with Billy Burt below. When using that type of finish, the matte areas are usually due to the finish soaking so much there isn't any build. Sometimes I will apply 15 or 20 coats of a shellac-based finish before the spots gloss up well. Waxing can help ,but it won't fix the real problem. You got a nice result from hard work on this one.
