Woodturning - A Figured Maple Bowl With Spirit Stain

[@Batalden2010]

Thanks for a cool and very inspirational video. I learned a lot . Very nice piece of art :D

[@jeffs.6488]

That's one beautiful piece of maple, which turned into a beautiful bowl. The first song was very nice.

Thanks, Jeff! 👍👍

[@ryaldeveau207]

I love finding new makers to watch, i learn a new technique or about a new product every time. I love how the grain picks up that dye. The orange as a filler was a great idea.

[@SamThomasTwistedCraftsUK]

Thank you! Much appreciated 👍👍👍

[@chrishardy1840]

I really like your bowl and the colour staining. Gives it a modern twist which is what I like! Keep up the good work.

[@SamThomasTwistedCraftsUK]

Thanks, Chris! Much appreciated mate 👍

[@orwellboy1958]

Another great project, Sam. We really liked the staining and the beautiful grain inside the bowl. Your videos are going from strength to strength, your commentary feels like you are actually talking to me and I'm in the workshop with you.

[@SamThomasTwistedCraftsUK]

Thanks, David! And thanks for the comment much appreciated. Glad you are enjoying the videos 👍👍

Beautiful! Imperfections are merely like scars. They add character and tell a story of where you've been.

[@SamThomasTwistedCraftsUK]

Thanks, Kim! 👍👌

[@turntbyhi-lo3516]

Very cool. Tried it myself for the first time about a week ago. I really like the effect you get.

[@SamThomasTwistedCraftsUK]

Thanks, Mark! It was a really fun project. I will defiantly be doing more to have a play with the different colors to see what i can get out of them so many different outcomes could be achieved. 👍👍

[@lukecassidy6786]

Excellent. Any tips for staining in 2022. I like dark stains. Recommended products? Food grade stains so I can make food bowls? Keep up the great vids pal.

[@levismadore556]

Great colorings. Impressed with the way you work. May I suggest you let us in your thinking. For example, you spent some silent moments looking at the unfinished staining process. I would benefit from knowing what you were looking at, looking for or noticing and what you intended to do about it. We turners spend a lot of time in our heads, observing, noticing and deciding based on our intent. That’s where your magic takes place. Looking forward to your next chef-d’oeuvre. Levis Canada

[@SamThomasTwistedCraftsUK]

Firstly I just want to say thank you for the comment, means a lot. I will take what you have said and try to bring this too my videos. I think as you said my brain starts thinking about the next steps I'm going to take and I forget I'm recording. I will have to think out loud from now on. 👍 once again thanks for the comment and Merry Christmas 👍

[@The-Caveman]

Hi Sam, nice bowl. You say you need practise with the staining, I used the spirit stain recently but wasn't too happy with the finish when I applied with a cloth so the next one I did, I used an air brush and I was much happier with the finish. It left a more even finish.

[@SamThomasTwistedCraftsUK]

Thank you, i will keep that in mind for the future! 👍👍

[@Lyysabeth]

Very beautiful! Also congrats on almost 1500 subs! Amazing work

Hello sir I don't know your name but I always watch your work. I am not fond of coloring the wood but the colors you chose is fantastic.

[@SamThomasTwistedCraftsUK]

Thanks for watching, Kobie! Much appreciated. And my name is Sam 👍👍👍

Your welcome 😊

[@garyjohnson3027]

To each his own. The shape and size of that bowl is great, but my opinion of staining the outside is nothing you would want to hear in public. I enjoy your channel.

[@SamThomasTwistedCraftsUK]

Thanks for the comment, Gary. Like you said its a matter of opinion some people don't like stains on wood and some do. I like experimenting with projects to see what i can do, and i except not everyone will like all my projects 👍👍

[@johnletham161]

Nice work mate im going to give that a try

[@SamThomasTwistedCraftsUK]

Thanks mate! Go for it they are so much fun to play around with. Would love to see some of your finished pieces when they are done 👍👍👍

[@weldmama]

really nice, i'm glad you put the orange stain on at the end - using a colour opposite to each other on the spectrum helps them make each other pop. what wipe on finish did you use on the outside of the bowl?

[@SamThomasTwistedCraftsUK]

Thank you, Ruth! The finish I used on this bowl was Wood Wax 22 👍

[@peterfuller2156]

Nice job Sam 👍

Great looking bowl Sam great colour combination. Merry Christmas 🤘👍😎🍺

[@SamThomasTwistedCraftsUK]

Thank you, Christopher! Merry Christmas to you too. 👍👍👍

[@NoahWoodarts]

In order to avoid those white lines apply colors while the lathe is stationary i guess. And im not sure if 180girst is up enough to apply colors. i prefer 320/400. your finish looks so nice. congrats.

[@SamThomasTwistedCraftsUK]

Thanks, Noah! And thanks for the tip about the sanding I wasn't sure so played it safe, will try my luck up near the 400 mark next time 👍👍👍

[@alansmith9099]

Love the effect you have got on the bowl. Please tell me what you think of the Axminster at1416 lathe as it’s what I’m hoping to get just after Christmas

[@SamThomasTwistedCraftsUK]

Thanks, Alan! So to lathe, I haven't got anything else to compare it to as this is my first lathe had it a year now. But I think it is fantastic, compact with the option of a bed extension, can turn up to 12" bowls and never had a single issue with it. I would suggest speaking to someone from Axminster as they are the professionals and can guide you in the right direction for what you want the lathe for etc. Hope that made sense 👍 and happy Christmas!! 👍👍
