I don't know the look you were going for, but I think it came out rather groovy!! Thank you for your kind and heartfelt words at the end of this video. It does make a difference.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks

[@tomdolan4697]

I think it came out great. One thing I found out is as a wood turner I don't need to like everything I do but if it's done well someone will love it.

[@MoonpieCreations]

This is true. thanks.

[@alisonh890]

It’s like buried treasure, rediscovered after a year. I absolutely love the red/pink colour and the way it makes the bowl look fiery. Love the markings on the bowl and quite like the blue line around the top. It’s so unique. Whoever bought it will be delighted with it. I know you weren’t so keen but it’s a good one. ❤

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you so much! I am shipping it out first thing Monday I hope they love it.

[@1961ebutuoy]

You have a supportive wife . You lucky man.

[@MoonpieCreations]

very supportive and yes I am.

[@harveyhammond8679]

That bowl is pretty awesome, I know you are not happy with it but that's the best part of doing something different.

[@MoonpieCreations]

I love it! Thank you.

[@harveyhammond8679]

@@MoonpieCreations you are welcome

[@ericaclark7250]

Ken please just remember to each his own lol. If everyone liked the same things we would be boring. I agree about the reaching out, you just never know what is going through peoples minds.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you.

[@TotalBoat]

Even if it's not your favorite, it was a good learning experience! We think the bowl turned out great, Ken!

[@MoonpieCreations]

I appreciate that!

[@marty01957]

Aw Hell, Ken! I liked it! I think it came out beautiful!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks so much!

[@martharoberts8533]

The top ring is personal opinion, either way it is beautiful work.❤❤❤

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you! 😊

[@kimberleelybarger2096]

The end pictures sold me on the ring of color at the top. I like it.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks. After seeing all the comments I may be the only one that doesn't like it. lol

[@TheMadComputerScientist1787]

I don't know man. That bowl is pretty nice. You are either the luckiest wood turner, or you are skill level: EPIC at pulling your keister out of the fire.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Hahaha, I'll definitely go with lucky then.

[@horsetuna]

NGL I liked it. Hope the next one is one you like!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks

[@chrisgiftshop3127]

Ob shine juice is a savior at times. Love how you "fixed" it. Glad to see you still doing these up.

[@MoonpieCreations]

I love OB Shine Juice, but man you have to sand pretty good to make sure the sanding lines are gone.

[@chrisgiftshop3127]

@MoonpieCreations true. I go through a lot of other stuff before OB Shine though. Also ate up a LOT of sandpaper in the past as well lol.

[@mikebd50]

Really liked the way the top came out with the other resin colors. Great work as always!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you so much 😀

[@karendale7297]

I kinda like it! I enjoy seeing you move ahead even after your perceived blunders. It’s art!

[@MoonpieCreations]

I seem to have a bunch of blunders too. lol. Thanks.

[@michaelross8794]

I love the colors. And, of course, your videos are ALWAYS informative and so helpful in my turning learnings. That being said, I'd LOVE to see a whole video on just your finishing process (post sanding). The peek into your chemical process was fantastic. But MORE!!! I WANT MORE!!!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you so much! I have a finishing process video. You can see it here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/paGVmJh7gbGKZ9U

[@summerswoodworking]

The bowl master!!! That bowl looks amazing!!!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks Brian. Hope you are well.

[@thefreemathtutor]

I heard what you were saying, but it was hard to hear over the voice in my head, which was saying, “those swirls of color are unbelievable! Wish I could do that!”

[@MoonpieCreations]

Haha, I loved the swirls. I think maybe if I would have done a segmented lip at the top I would have been happy with it.

[@wolflynnx4]

AWESOMENESS‼️😎👍

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks 👍

[@bgpappy30]

Ken, this bowl turned out AMAZING!!! I know you don’t like it and that’s because we are harder on ourselves than anybody else is on us. It looks like it took hours and hours and hours to get this bowl to look like that. I appreciate you for sharing this for us. Thank you very much. I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving and I will be looking forward to your next video. One love!!!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you. My wife says I have issues. lol Apparently she thinks I knit pick my own work to much. Happy Thanks Giving.

[@ksart9188]

That bowl is amazing!!!! Sometimes things go the way that they are supposed to go…It may not be what you were expecting but it is still pretty great. Keep at it and things will get back to what they were before. Thank you so much for what you do. Happy Thanksgiving. And going to the shelter can also save a life.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@stevelauer8640]

The bowl turned out good nice colors

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you!

[@cookiescoop6065]

Nice Ken have a great weekend ✌️

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks, you too!

[@lawrencefrye3612]

I agree with you on the bowl. Some that I do I like, some not so much… but keep on turning. I’ll watch all of your videos Ken. I find great success using tung oil on my resin bowls. Usually three coats, 24 hours apart leaves a perfect finish. Ever try it?

[@MoonpieCreations]

I've never thought about tung oil. I will have to see how it works. Thanks.

[@LuannYoumans-ec5fc]

Love the bowl. ❤

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you.

[@gaile2845]

Live and learn. I love it.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Always! Thanks.

[@CrossCutCreations]

That is a really fun looking piece. Great work, Ken! I need to get back to turning. We moved and I need to get the new shop set up.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Go for it!

[@laurazakrzewski]

Looks Awesome Ken!!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks 👍

[@ericchild8845]

Dang, I haven’t seen you on my feed in some time now and I had forgotten how easy you make that look. I am in the process of making various bowls for gifts as fast as I can (which isn’t very fast in reality) from Modesto Ash, Fruitless Mulberry and Acacia wood pieces from trees on my property that I had squirreled away to cure for a couple years. Oh, and I made a couple bowls from some Hawthorne that I took down on my in law’s property four or five years ago. Man, that is some hard ass wood, I tell you what. Makes Maple seem like common Douglas Fir. Anyways, I have always enjoyed watching your videos and I’ll make an effort to be a better subscriber moving forward. Also, I really appreciate your ending message as I feel that cannot be stressed enough. Some people just need to hear a friendly voice and you never know, it may be just the thing that prevents something tragic, costs you nothing and does a world of good. Merry Christmas, man. And, yes, I am with you on the bowl. It is nice, but I don’t know about the top layers… just not my taste, but I am sure there are plenty of folks that are into that style. To each their own. Cheers from NorCal.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I've never turned Hawthorne, but have heard it is hard as rock. Hope you get hose bowls done.

Thank you.

[@donnasimmons9836]

I like it, it’s different. Kind of think maybe if there had been some glitter in the blue stripe that would’ve been cool.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks. I love hearing from you guys. It helps spark ideas.

[@steveschulkin8335]

Ken, don't be so hard on yourself for the bowl not coming out the way you expected it to. Resin will do what it wants to do no matter how many times you have poured it the same way times prior. That is one of the beautiful things about using resin with wood. It's like the line in Forrest Gump, "Life is like a box of chocolates" 😅. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Stay cool.

[@MoonpieCreations]

So true. Thanks. "I think I'm done running now." lol

[@Diver7atms]

It is beautiful!!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you.

[@mdaley3102]

It still looks good. Just think of a little Spiderman colors at the top.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks more more I look at it the more I wish I would have done a segmented lip for it. I think I missed an opportunity.

Thanks Bill.

Try Waterlox and you'll never look back. I use gloss.

[@MoonpieCreations]

I will have to try it. Thanks

[@Lee-qp6gf]

@@MoonpieCreations I get it on Amazon.

[@charleneeaster6886]

Why did you use so many hole drill bits? Why not go straight to the biggest one? The bowl looks great! Happy accidents!

[@MoonpieCreations]

If you start out to big it tends to catch and can mess the piece up. Thanks.
