Woodturning - Chatoyancy Galore!!!

[@leisongivangomo4478]

Thank you in-laws for sharing your garage with Jim! 🥰🤗

[@benstrait333]

I just realized today that hyper shift is chatoyance for epoxy, that's why you like it, Jim😁

[@SpragueWoodturning]

That’s about right, lol. Thanks

[@leisongivangomo4478]

Gorgeous covered dish Jim! I love the finial! That spalting really makes the piece. Well done!

[@tdalton1970]

I always enjoy watching these videos. If I ever come into money I will order something 🥰

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I appreciate that, thank you!

[@GinaJalufka]

It amazes me the varieties of woods hold so much character, and each piece is unique and beautiful. Thanks Jim, for revealing the natural beauty hidden beneath the bark. Designer Epoxy is so versatile, for pouring or finishing, but all wood pieces are a treasure.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I agree, wood is incredible and each piece is unique! Thanks

[@PmLm-c3y]

ALL the shapes are pleasing, the finial is amazingly patterned, and that bowl's chatoyance is just glorious.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@beahatcher1743]

Designer Epoxy in Jim's hands, makes beauty throughout the lands.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@amayakawaii]

So interesting seeing the different types of wood all working together to create a beautiful whole, not to mention the shiny copper inlay and the CHATTOYANCY! WOW! 🤩

[@Tseringlhatso]

The yellow birch is stunning, as is the whole piece! Just beautiful.

[@rickwalker5940]

Nice change to do a full wood project no matter how much I like the Designer Epoxy,

[@DarryWillis]

What a beautiful piece. And a lovely combo of woods! 🥰🇬🇧

[@tammywashington1763]

The contrast in wood colors and types compliment each other making for a interesting beautiful piece i just love it

[@joanmuscato5242]

Love watching your videos! If I was younger I might think of trying this however I am living vicariously through you Jim!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@cmac8439]

Jim, I use powdered copper, brass, and bronze. I use unused StarBond bottles to apply the powder. Squeezing the bottle makes a narrow jet of metal to fill gaps. Your videos are always instructive and instructive. Most of what I have learned about turning came from your KZbin channel. Designer Epoxy. Take care, Mac

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Great idea using the StarBond bottles! That's very clever.

[@kathleenrobertson5182]

Beautiful piece! Well done!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@nene1333]

Absolutely beautiful! The finial works perfectly with the rounded body of the bowl! The colors work perfectly together! Great job Jim!!! As always!

[@carolyncota2723]

Another beautiful piece! Your artwork is so original and inspiring. Thank you!

[@betseygirard8878]

I love the lid wood. I could imagine a bowl on my table. The color is outstanding.

[@crystalpainter1]

Absolutely beautiful. Designer epoxy

I love this piece. I really appreciate your gouge work. Love the contrasting woods and you made a great finial.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks very much, I appreciate it!

[@foreverturningpeterkipfer5468]

Love the spalted wood, one of my favorite things to work with in both my cabinet and turning work. Great looking piece Jim. Nice to see you turning wood, I was beginning to think you didn't know how.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

There’s usually some wood with my castings, lol. Thanks

[@azurewolfe8505]

I think you finial turned out great and I love your choice in wood. Designer Epoxy

[@fredholland7525]

That finial though! Absolutely beautiful. The whole piece, using contrasting woods to give a complete look. Incredible.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@daleboe8912]

Have you thought of going into your storage shed blindfolded and grab a piece and build your project with what you selected. Might be an interesting challenge.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I like the way you think, but I’ve got enough headaches now, lol. Thanks

[@edwardsimmons3721]

The piece looks stunning as usual.

[@texanasimmons1761]

[@hantieferreira4398]

Cool, the copper inlay and contrasting woods are very cool

[@emma885]

The finial wood is really beautiful! And I like the shape, it looks like a lit candle.

[@twinmama42]

Nice piece, the contrast between bowl and lid is charmung.

[@kehotto1]

Beautiful covered bowl, love the finial!

[@charityjay]

So much chatoyancy, it almost has an Aurora Borealis effect, so beautiful Jim.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Many thanks!

[@ianjenkins6570]

I have a piece with blue designer epoxy and spalted birch that I will turn into a vase. Love the pencil line spalting!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@moniqueloyd4724]

Love the colors, beautiful piece ❤❤🎉

[@lkandel1696]

Designer Epoxy, love how this finish brings out the luster of the woods and the contrast of the copper.

[@donnaogle7199]

Another beautiful piece of art! You amazed me every time! 😊

[@Hog-g2z]

Good morning 🌅, Jim and Family and Friends, another great project good looking piece of art, I have a board of Padouk 1”12 x10” x 10’ in my workshop, leftover from a bookcase that I made 30 years ago, and yes it turns brown, and Wenga some bits, I made a very large dinning table, and a coffee table as well, the table it self was made of Ash with solid wenga in it , it is prone for splitting, if not machine properly, I even finished part of the job, and came in the next day and part of the grain a delaminated, so I had to cut it apart and redo it again. I believe the bits I’ve got left over maybe from that part that was split., this is quite toxic, if you get a piece as a splinter in your finger and do not get it out it will fester, as I have mentioned before I have made literally thousands of pepper pots out of Blackwood and Rosewood et cetera over the years, air fed mask is essential, keep up the great work, I wish you all a great Christmas and a happy New Year, though I will not be celebrating myself as I live by myself, from France,

[@troyhenderson2074]

Your finial game is fine :) Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@teresawarriner8812]

Absolutely love the Spalted Maple Finial ❤ Jim ❤, perfect contrast between the bowl, lid, and finial!! Gorgeous work of art ❤!! Designer Epoxy ❤

[@brooksmartin2665]

I love it! Well done Jim Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@judithfairchild8620]

That is one fabulous bowl.

[@aliciadare2572]

Nice finial for not a spindle turner guy…love the combo of the woods.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks very much!

[@venessagragg5326]

This is a beautiful piece. Maple paired with designer epoxy really allowed this piece to become a unique piece of art. Bravo 👏👏 well done

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@davidjohns4223]

Very nice piece Jim and the finial looks awesome.

[@stsfuzzybear4613]

Thank you. Now I finally know what the word chatoyance looks like. Never could get it correct enough so I could find it either in a dictionary or spellcheck. Really like your finial.

[@mdaley3102]

Beautiful piece. I love your designer epoxy pieces but it’s very nice to see you work in “ all wood pieces” once in a while. Merry Christmas Jim. Have a great holiday with your family

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks very much! Merry Christmas to you as well!

[@RichardBerry-q5z]

I have used padauk in makeing plakes and it fill up sandpaper a lot great job Desiger Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@loranwfry-zu9pu]

Looks great. Very nice work Jim. Designer Epoxy

[@Messihippi]

I don’t think I’ve seen you do a finial like that before. I like it, and I like that you’re daring to push outside your “chunky pieces” comfort zone. Love the spalting on that bit too!

[@jeramiahcrosier3481]

Very cool. Love the padauk and birch combo. I started doing some work between centers - with practice, the skew is an amazing tool.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks for watching! The skew is a great tool.

[@donaldciccarone5519]

Beautiful Jim. Merry Christmas. Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Merry Christmas to you too! Thank you!

[@alanmcarthur2810]

Very nice combination of wood species. Loved the copper inlay. My two cents, so many potential products would be firewood if it weren't for epoxy. It makes so many unique projects possible. As always enjoyed the finished project and tips along the way. Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Yes, it's amazing what you can do with epoxy!

[@cazdough6565]

Very pretty Jim

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@joshellyson]

Really, really appreciate that you show us how you work through issues that you encounter. My son has really taken that to heart in his work. Also, good to know that using the DesignerEpoxy to seal endgrain is helpful. We have the various types of their epoxy to do so. This particular video was very helpful, as we are both learning how to better do fitted lids. He has some Urns to turn and really pondering the best approach for the lids. So, this video was helpful. And lastly...i for one really like this piece, unique but well balanced with the finial adding a great contrast to the form.

[@biblio_mama]

Good morning from Florida!
