Wood stain experiment on oak - Woodturning

Hello folks! In this video I will be making a small hollow form on the woodturning lathe then experimenting with Chestnut's spirit stain.
The end result was a little subtler then I had hoped for but completely down to me not knowing when to just leave it alone, was one light sanding and a polish too many. Every day is a school day!
Not only that, I had also already filmed and edited up to that point so you're getting the video anyway! :)
I both like and dislike this piece, let me know what you think in the comments, cheers!

Well done Tim. The bit of color simply added to the lovely lines of the design.

[@tfturning]

Thanks Doug, I really should have parted off after the sanding sealer for a more marine feel but never mind, there's always the next! Cheers bud!

[@WeeVal]

Turned out great Tim, well done! 😃

[@tfturning]

Cheers Val! 😁

[@colinmacdonald404]

Thanks Tim👍I think it looks great,sometimes less is more. Thanks also for taking the time to produce content it’s not easy. Cheers.

[@tfturning]

Thanks for the kind words Colin! Projects do seem to be taking a lot longer to put together lately so I very much appreciate you sticking around! Cheers!

[@JiggsysShed]

That came out great! Nice one Tim!

[@tfturning]

Cheers mate, much appreciated!!

[@MarkMcCluney]

Such a beautiful job, just filled with bucolic charm, even a sort of Mediterranean character. I see what you mean about the final effect being rather subtle but it's no less elegant for that. Maybe the next attempt will be a bit more vibrant. Cheers Tim, always a pleasure and inspiration. Thanks mate.

[@tfturning]

Cheers Mark, it has grown on me I'll be honest. Vibrant will be the theme of the next stained piece, without a doubt! Thanks for watching my friend, take care.

[@oneturnatatime6309]

L' apprenti tourneur que je suis aime beaucoup le fait que vous nous faites part des produits utilisés pour ce tournage. Merci beaucoup ,j'aime ce rendu final.👍

[@tfturning]

Thanks for watching, I'm happy you like it! 😀

[@MoleValleyMaker]

Nice one Tim! I think oak is quite tricky to colour myself but a pleasing effect none the less😊

[@tfturning]

Cheers Dave, I might not like the end result but the process was still fun. 😀 That's not fully true, I'm starting to like the piece too haha.

[@MikeHolton]

Beautiful work Tim, I keep having a go at colouring lol 🤣

[@tfturning]

Cheers Mike, I've not done much before but I can definitely see the appeal! 😀

[@tf484]

Very well done. I like how you friction burned the neck. Haven't seen anything new in awhile, hope you are well and still turning.

[@tfturning]

Thank you so much! Yeah, I have been a little distant lately, the eternal darkness and cold of winter really kicked my ass this year. Never was my favorite season. Thanks for sticking around, I do have a few things in the pipeline starting with a lovely piece of olive, which is always a joy to work with! Watch this space 😁

[@toddatglencovewoodworks]

That's a nice little project Tim! I have lots of oak in my area so I need to try coloring some of what I have. I love the shape.

[@tfturning]

Cheers Todd, the shape is my favourite aspect, felt like I got the wall thickness just right! Thanks for watching!

[@denisvienat849]

Salut Tim un très jolie petit vase bravo 👍👏👋

[@tfturning]

Thank you so much Denis! 😁

[@alun7006]

Ooh, that looks great! Ive got some of those spirit stains but haven't used them yet - will have to try it out.

[@tfturning]

Thanks Alun! They're really good, I like them.

[@BensGotWood]

Looks great, well done Tim. I've heard good things about Yorkshire grit - might have to give it a go.

[@tfturning]

Cheers Ben! This one I used True Grit, similar to the Yorkshire stuff but it's also a microcrystalline wax. Yorkshire grit is solely a polishing compound. Would recommend both though, they are great products! Thanks for watching!

[@BensGotWood]

@@tfturning I learn something new every day 😅. Cheers mate.

[@jpwoodwork]

Nice mate

[@tfturning]

Cheers man!!

[@jefflabrosse7044]

[@tfturning]

Now there's an idea! Thanks for watching!!
