Woodturning - Cherry and Walnut Lidded Bowl With Mother of Pearl Inlay

[@jcnoszek77]

Jim, I don't work with wood, and I know so little about woodturning. I watch this channel because watching woodturning is very relaxing for me. I come back to your channel so much more than other woodworkers because your passion for what you do is infectious. I feel a great appreciation for the when you leave in the errors and work around them. It's a reminder that mistakes aren't the end, they are what make you better at what you do. You're like the Bob Ross of woodturning. Thanks for the weekly videos!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Wow, thank you!

[@bobandloustickney6972]

Well said! And i echo your thoughts!

[@greenmanjnj]

Yes, exactly that!

[@jennysherrill7216]

I know a little about wood but I watch for the same reason!!!

[@dianeberthiaume6025]

Jim, this piece is simply beautiful, I love the form, the inlay… wow… the wood… 🤩

[@leisongivangomo4478]

Congratulations on the marriage of your son and his bride 🎉

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much! 😊😊

[@deborahpasha9727]

Good morning. Congratulations to Jim's son and his new bride.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@dwade1958]

Thank you for preparing this video so that we could get our weekly dose of Sprague medication! I hope the wedding was a blessing to all. You've mentioned a couple times showing your sons how to work on the lathe, and I'm sure you're very proud of them. I hope you know that the must be proud of their dad as well because he is a great guy!! Thanks as always, Jim.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

We certainly are, thanks!

[@elisecoxhell4139]

Wow that cherry is so beautifully shimmery! I think the contrast between the 2 woods and the inlay elevate it from a seemingly simple design to something quite special. And a beautiful shape, thanks Jim. So many congratulations to you this week, I hope it is forever in your greatest highlights reel of memories! 100k subscribers AND your son's wedding, with an exciting house build and move in the not-too-distant future, I hope you feel wonderful and I hope all of your life is bringing you great joy right now! Very best wishes to you and the family this weekend 🎉

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

[@poeticangelartbyangelabass3798]

I keep KZbin running all night. When i went ti bed you were at 109K, at 110K when I woke up. Congratulations Jim!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

[@foreverturningpeterkipfer5468]

You're absolutely right, you can't go wrong with walnut and cherry. Another amazing piece and although I love the epoxy it's always nice to see some 'traditional' turning especially when it turns out like this. Enjoy your son's wedding, it's always a proud & somewhat sad day seeing your children take that final step towards independence/adulthood. Congratulations to your son and new daughter-in-law.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks

[@woodturningwithhenry]

You are truly "livin' the dream"! Turning another gorgeous bowl, hitting 100k subs, son getting married, etc.. Congratulations! Well done Jim, keep up the great work. Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Yes I am! Thanks

[@cathylebouef4026]

This bowl is absolutely gorgeous! The different colors in the wood and the defined veins makes this bowl stand out!! Great job!! Bravo!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@marybeth17]

This bowl turned out beautifully. I believe that bowl was sitting around waiting for you to choose the right wood for it’s top. You made an excellent choice, these 2 woods go beautifully together & I love the decision you made for with having the inlay to be Mother of Pearl. I’m sure you will have a fabulous time at your son & new daughter-in-law’s wedding. Make sure to have a dance with your new daughter-in-law. Oh I almost forgot Congrats on get 100K in subscriber’s. What a weekend of celebration’s you are having. Have a wonderful time!

My mother sends her congratulations on your big milestone. She’s been watching since you had about 30,000 subscribers. She really enjoys watching you. Her only complaint is that you only have one episode a week 😊

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Many thanks!

[@AmyAnderson-fields]

The grain on that bowl is absolutely stunning! I thought I'd miss the use of the designer epoxy, but this wood needs no embellishments. Gorgeous piece.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@alexandriamonk2345]

Jim, I LOVE that this looks like an Acorn!!!! How freaking cute is this!? And that iridescent sheen of the cherry wood is mesmerizing! I really hope you use that wood again some time soon.

[@suepetty9225]

You can't beat cherry for color. I like the contrast of the walnut and the inlay.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Me too, thanks!

[@amandatallis9875]

Jim I enjoy watching your videos it helps with my mental condition and I learn about wood I can't turn anymore due to arthritis and fibyromlia. The Cherry bowl is lovely it's got nice grain and its got nice colours in it. I love the Mother of Pearl inlay in the walnut lid which has got great grain. Magnificent and unique bowl. Congratulations on getting to 100,000 and on your sons marriage. Thanks for a great video. Amanda xx

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Glad it helps you. Thank you very much!

[@diannesorem6389]

Congrats on your viewers! You've been working hard and it shows!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@GinaMacArt]

Hi Jim, I do not turn wood but I just love watching people perform their craft. It is such a pleasure to watch you create beautiful pieces, especially with resin. Dan Pearce is another wood turner that uses resin in his work and he is awesome too. I will always enjoy watching you create your masterpieces. Cheers from, Gina Mac of Queensland, Australia. 😊❤️🙏🇦🇺

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@mikebass823]

Yes, I really enjoy watching your videos. I try to watch all your videos, I may try my hand at it when I stop Driving Big Trucks. You never know. Cherry and Walnut really go well together, nice touch with the Mother of pearl. Beautiful Lidded bowl. Great job. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🥸😎

[@SpragueWoodturning]

You're the best! Thanks

[@firestones11]

I've been watching your channel for about a year now and wanted to help you get over the 100K mark. Congrats on finally getting there! I appreciate that you show your full process from choosing your wood outside, to how you process your wood to get it ready as well as the steps, hits, and misses along the way. I have learned a lot about wood turning, as well as using epoxy , through watching your channel.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks so much!!

[@elizabethpannell-ui6nf]

0940: Exquisite bowl and lid. I hope everything goes well with the wedding. Remember to breathe.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@Doxymeister]

Oh my stars, that cherry is just gorgeous. The figures in the chatoyance are amazing--almost like vertical tiger stripes. The inlay turned out beautifully. All in all, just wonderful bowl! Thank you, Jim!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@bradbutler2781]

Perfect contrast with the walnut, cherry and mother of pearl. Love this piece.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@philgallagher1]

Fabulous bowl, Jim. The way the 2 colours of wood work together is perfect and the MoP inlay really sets it off. BTW... Don't sell yourself short, man! You may not get to 1 million subs, but if you can get to 100k in 3 years there's no reason why you can't get to 200 or even 250k. There are now more of us who subscribe, comment and share every week so you may well see a faster increase in subs! Regardless, you've reached a major landmark, so CONGRATULATIONS!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Agreed, thanks!

[@IQTech61]

Very chic. I love how you took a bowl that had "moved" and turned it into such an elegant piece of work/art.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@jimdee5003]

Awesome contrast cherry bowl and walnut lid and knob. Always appreciate the lessons learned 👍

[@SpragueWoodturning]

[@texanasimmons1761]

OMG! That is ONE GORGEOUS BOWL!! I love the color contrast of the 2 woods and the extra touch of the added M.O.P. inlay was a perfect touch! The luster of the cherry makes the bowl seem like its glowing. I LOVE it! Thanks, Jim❤

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@dalemaclaren7576]

[@joeehrlich2898]

Hi Jim!! Wedding and kids? I got very emotional with mine so, congratulations !! And well .....ya that other part of watching your babies make the next adventure in their life that you can't wait to watch happen as well as that feeling that they need you less. So yes sir!! Congratulations!! I reached out to Gabe this week because I am trying the deep cast for the first time. (Thank you for the discount). I know he reached out to you with a couple questions I had and thank you for responding so quickly. I could not get the temperature up to above 83° F. At the 6 hour mark, I poured into my form. (Sapelle and white oak) put one last pass through to blend color and it held. I pulled it out of the form this morning and turned it. I was also doing a copper inlay in the rim. I left it for a couple hours to go to my granddaughters soccer game and came back. The bowl moved so much I just sanded and will put a finish on tomorrow. Do you find that your pieces move more after turning with the deep cast? I cannot recall having so much movement before. I also should add that this wood was less than 8% moisture and dimensional cut lumber. I know your busy but if you have a minute. I'd like to know your thoughts. I think I'll call Gabe Monday or Tuesday. He was very helpful by the way and I am so thankful for his and yours quick response.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Weird, sometimes there’s built up tension in the wood and when it’s turned it finally relaxes. As long as it’s dry, ordinary it doesn’t move all that much. The epoxy has nothing to do with this movement. What kind of meter are you using? Thanks

[@jeanlong4285]

Jim, you are correct, it is absolutely beautiful. I love the inlay in the walnut and it pairs beautifully with the cherry.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@sandraanderson217]

Congratulations on reaching 100,000! 🎉 I love the simplicity of this piece. The cherry, maple and mother of pearl are perfect together! Definitely top 10 on my list! And congratulations to your son and new wife!
