Wood turning - Oak and Sapele Bowl (with red Tulipwood Veneer)

I've not done a big glue up for a while, so I thought that I would do one for Christmas!
Oak and Sapele off cuts with red Tulipwood veneer inserts. This bowl is one of my absolute favourites so far in my wood turning journey!
Stay safe everyone. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎄🎄😀

[@dutchbeef8920]

That skew did the trick 🎉😂

[@RDMWoodturning]

Yes, sometimes the challenging is finding the right tool for the job!

[@franwilson2097]

very nice work,love it

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you so much 😀

[@thomasherlihy8670]

Another great looking bowl and idea. Thanks for showing the steps and both the good and bad encountered along the way.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you very much. It was a fun project to make, and it turned out really effective. 👍😃

[@fj4036]

I like the way you try different things. Cool.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@carolriley8472]

Very nice...especially the red accents!

[@RDMWoodturning]

Glad you like them! Definitely something that I would use again 😀

[@hsbsolutions]

Magic just bloody magic well done x

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you very much. I think that it’s my best to date. 👍

[@charlesball8872]

Nice work sir! I wouldn’t have believed that veneer would have shown that well, but it sure did! Nice touch.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@michaelfelixb1316]

sieht klasse aus 👏👍

Thank you 😊

Hi RDM, thank you for that demo. First time viewer. What a lovely piece. Looking forward to watching more of your demos. Happy New Year. Bob Nye

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you! You too! 😀👍

[@claytonbink1647]

Very nice use of those materials! Nice looking bowl!

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you very much!😀

[@stevemclean2817]

Absolutely awesome! You get the “Something From Nothing” award for this one! Thanks for sharing!

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you very much. Yes I’m really pleased with the glue up. 😊👍

[@jimwilliams1539]

What would you sell this for, I’m asking because I have no idea about pricing on my work!

[@ShootnTexasStyle]

Very nice combination of woods

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you very much. I am just relieved that the glue held! As it was the first time that I'd tried something like this. Thanks for watching 👍

[@paulhowell2235]

Yet another beauty, love it

[@RDMWoodturning]

Loved making this one. It is a real stunner!

[@kittyhawk7060]

Very nice. Turned out far better than I had expected. -a subscriber

[@RDMWoodturning]

Cheers 😄👍

[@mmills7012]

Beautiful bowl. Love the wood combination.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Cheers. It worked out very nicely 😊

[@dutchbeef8920]

The voids in the middle would scare me

[@RDMWoodturning]

They were tricky, but sharp tools really help!

[@kandiecandelaria1423]

Great bowl

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you very much 😊

[@DiveDiva2007]

Great idea but if you’d paid more attention to the glue up there would have been fewer gaps in the result, perhaps glue up if sections rather than all in one go.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Totally agree. As I look back at some of my earlier work I could really kick myself, but I guess that it’s all part of the learning process. Thanks for watching 👍

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Looks great 👍

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers! 😎

[@ronnie100393]

Hear it goes , you might not like it but anyway? This hobby is a marathon not a sprint. That being said you need to slow down and enjoy what your doing. Your pieces had gaps that being said, if you would have slowed down and filled those gaps more with CA and worked it longer to a point that you can see the gap but can not feel it , then you can go on. The old saying you can sand it to a 1000 grit but if you don’t prep it correctly your pissing in the wind? Do your self a favor hold on to this piece and look back at it in the future and you will see how you have improved! Good luck on slowing down, the truth hurts but it gains you knowledge, so it’s a win , win in the long run . Keep’em turning!!!!!

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you very much. You are totally right. I have this piece in my kitchen reminding me of the journey so far. I got into CA glue about 4 months ago, and since then I’m definitely paying more attention to the fine details. I genuinely appreciate the comments. Cheers

[@jlyssagraywolf7503]

Very beautiful💜💜💜

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you! 😊

[@beneditoalvesdasilva]

Vc é muito criativo, da gosto de ver suas ideias em praticas, parabéns mais uma vez, ganhou um admirador.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Obrigado por assistir. Eu realmente gosto de colar pedaços de madeira juntos.

[@oficinanasala]

Bela peça amigo parabéns

[@RDMWoodturning]

😊👍🎄

[@jameswallace7351]

Just plain beautiful I'd like to have it

[@RDMWoodturning]

Huge thanks! Pleased you like it 🙂👍

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

That’s beautiful! It’s amazing what can be done with “scrap” pieces. Very nice. 👍🏻Mike

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you very much. I’m really pleased with how it turned out. 😃

[@jimpike3489]

Woodturning on a budget 101, a creative mind can make off cuts into a stunning bowl. Was that hardwood architrave?? Great project, thanks for sharing

[@RDMWoodturning]

Yes it was! I try to use as many off cuts as possible!

[@OurFrenchHouseRenovation]

good job, nice combination of wood, love the red veneer strips... thanks for sharing Merry Christmas

[@RDMWoodturning]

Merry Christmas. Yes I’m really pleased that I had the spare veneer left over from a summer project. Thank you for watching.

[@adriamiraguilar]

Hermoso !!!!

[@RDMWoodturning]

👍

[@gauranga0208]

😍😇

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you 👍

[@cptechno]

Sawing off the edges would have saved much time.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Totally agree. Sadly my band saw blade snapped a couple of months ago and I’ve not got round to replacing it. Hopefully I’ll do it soon. Thanks for watching 👍

[@PeteBeardsley]

A very interesting combination, looks great though. May I ask where you source the dyed veneer from? Never come across that before in UK.

[@RDMWoodturning]

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/REAL-WOOD-VENEER-X12-LONG-COLOURED-DYED-FOR-MARQUETRY-CRAFTS-CUES-HOBBYS-/133614005585?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 During the first lockdown I used eBay and other mail order suppliers. I can’t remember if this was the exact one, but the price is similar.

[@stephendsurowitzormondfinf4490]

Really nice job! To bad it was rough on your tools…

[@RDMWoodturning]

Yes it was. I have a new bowl gouge now, so it slices through the wood, just wish I'd bought it earlier! Thanks for watching

[@stevekosnikowski6442]

Great job, it looks great! Where do you get the wood at?

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you. Luckily there is a local independent timber merchant close by. The bargain bin is a great hunting ground.

[@kerrysaunders9996]

What’s the key to that shine?

[@RDMWoodturning]

Sanding sealer makes every finish much better. Think of it like the foundation of building the shine. Thanks for watching.

[@adroaldolima9083]

Q material esse vermelho?

[@RDMWoodturning]

O vermelho é tulipwood também conhecido como choupo

[@johntyndall5746]

Try turning mit scraping.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thanks 👍
