Woodturning - Awesome Salvaged Liveoak: Thanks To Some Resin

This week's project is a piece that let me know it did not want to be turned. But I won in the end. You can see more of my videos here: / @themessystudio .
I've been eyeing this piece of Liveoak for a while now and decided it was time. I had a design in mind, but that was over shadowed by other events and I forgot about it until it was too late. But the piece still came out very nice. What events? Well, as you'll see, the piece broke in two. Split almost down the middle. Neither I nor anything else was hurt, so that's good. But it was unexpected for sure.
So I put the halves in a plastic bowl and filled it with resin, since I still had some. And all in all, I'm very happy with the result.
Thank you for watching. I'll have another turning out soon. So stay tuned, keep creating and always strive for innovation.

That's super impressive!

Thanks, Morgan!

@@TheMessyStudio you bet! I loved the grain pattern of the wood and how the resin filled the cracks in.

Great bowl keep up the great work. Keep working though the mishaps

Thanks! Will do!

Happy Wednesday Billy 🙏💙

You too, Liz

Great bowl Billy. It tried to fight you, but you overcame all the obstacles. It’s interesting to me how we have a design in mind and simply forget what we’re doing and unconsciously turn something different. I do it all the time. One reason I love turning is that there is always more wood and another chance to do what was planned. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you! Very true, Doug!

Awesome looking bowl Billy!

Beautiful bowl, Billy. 😊😊

Thank you, Rob!

In the end you ended up with a very pretty bowl Billy. I think I heard you say you Hate Resin...twice. Well I have to admit I hate it as well.I think resin turnings sure can be pretty. But as a retried wood patternmaker I used more resin that you can imagin. A pattern needs a core box to make the inside of the casting. Standing over a epoxy and fiberglass core box for ours is not that much fun. The finished product it cool and I liked that. But the mess and fumes coming from all the resins is something I try to stay away from. Then we made resin molds so we could duplicate the patterns and pour resin into the molds so they could cast more than one casting at a time. There and thanks for letting me say I hate resin LOL. Thanks to all who do not hate it for all the beautifl things they make using it. Gary

Thank you very much, my friend! It does create a pretty result, but it is such a pain!

[@bizarbarabreaks]

Beautiful Bowl Billy! It turned out so good, if only my "mistakes" can be so pretty!

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you so much, Biz! I truly appreciate your continued support!

[@unjje]

Nice looking bowl 😊 yes when you get mad need to walk away. I like bowls more wood than resin but resin has its place

[@morgancalvi6675]

@unjje... I agree 100%.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Very true! I prefer more wood as well.

[@morgancalvi6675]

Those shavings will make a lovely bowl...like they say, if life gives you lemons (or resin) make lemonade (or bowls with the shavings).

[@TheMessyStudio]

Maybe, but I already tossed them.

[@morgancalvi6675]

@@TheMessyStudio oh, well you were just saying how you'll have more resin on the floor and I was just thinking how to reuse it.

[@Bramsshed1913]

Nice recovery from that fly off Billy, and it really turned out to be a great little bowl with a lovely colour and grain pattern .Nice one mate ! Now the unenviable task to clean up all those resin shavings , that stuff is worse than cleaning up down from a plucked goose .Great video mate, cheers and take care Bram .

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you very much, Bram! Already got them cleaned up. Appreciate it as always, mate!

Hi Billy, Robin, Liz, Steve

[@conniebeetham5942]

Very pretty bowl

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you very much, Connie!

[@stevewhite8161]

Billy, great job and especially the recovery of the bowl. It looks awesome. What finish did you use on this bowl?

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you very much, Steve! I used Deft gloss spray lacquer.

[@williamellis8993]

Nice bowl, Billy. I hope you weren't hurt when that blank split. If you're alergic to stupid, do you take Benadryl when I watch your videos?

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, Bill! I didn't even know it hit me until I was editing the video. LOL, no, Bill.
