Woodturning| Crafting a Characterful Ash Wood Bowl

Welcome to Jiggsy's Shed, where I bring wood to life through the art of turning! Join me on this exciting journey as I take a piece of Ash wood harvested from a fallen tree back in March 2023 and work my magic on the lathe.
With careful precision, I shape this raw material into a small bowl that's bursting with character. There's a special touch added too... I fill a tiny inclusion with O3adhesives black CA glue, enhancing its unique charm and allure.
Moving on to the interior, I apply @ChestnutProducts black spirit stain, skillfully sanding to leave only the enchanting grain pattern behind. Then, I introduce @CrimsonCustomGuitars Vibrant Stunning Stains, Mango, and Ox Blood, applying them with an airbrush for a burst of vibrant color.
For the exterior, I opt for Chestnut Products cellulose sanding sealer, followed by a treatment of @EasyWoodTools Yorkshire Grit and Microcrystalline wax, ensuring a smooth and glossy finish that's sure to impress.
Turning my attention back to the interior, I apply Chestnut Products cellulose sanding sealer, followed by melamine lacquer and a meticulous polishing with Yorkshire Grit original and microfine. Finally, a coating of Chestnut Products microcrystalline wax adds that perfect touch of elegance.
To personalize my creation, I utilize the @SCULPFUNReal iCube 10w Desktop Laser engraver to add my logo to the bottom of the bowl, sealing it with sanding sealer and microcrystalline wax for a lasting impression.
Come along with me on this artistic journey as I blend skill, technique, and creativity to craft a truly exceptional piece.

[@hbwoodturning17]

The staining on the inside is a nice addition to the bowl, I like that.

[@JiggsysShed]

Thank you! I'm loving these stains and over the weekend I've picked up the orange (blood orange), which should give a nice transition between the red (Ox blood) and yellow(mango). Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@Buckleyswoodturning]

A nice little project John, hope things are well with you.

[@JiggsysShed]

Thank you Alan, it was definitely an enjoyable one to turn. Got a lot going on at the moment, but other than that am doing OK thank you. Hope all is well with you

@@JiggsysShed The wife's got me decorating the hallway, putting oak treads onto the stairs and laying laminate flooring. She thinks now I've retired I work for her.

[@JiggsysShed]

@@Buckleyswoodturning you mean we don't get more time to ourselves when we retire? 😂😅 Though that does sound like the projects the wife wants me to do currently and I don't have time for.

[@hayesrutherford9415]

You were certainly getting some nice cuts on the inside of the bowl. Took some effort, but nice results.

[@JiggsysShed]

Thank you. I did enjoy the hollowing with this one. Yeah, it did take a bit more work to get it done than I first intended, but it is great for the learning experience and also the mindfulness... although I like the end result of sanding, I still have to come to enjoy the process of it 😂

[@Karroovlakte]

I love how wood turners see character in the wood when most would see it as faults ruining the wood. You get child-led parenting. You do wood-led turning! 😉

[@JiggsysShed]

Every piece of wood has a story to tell... definitely got to be led by that story

[@davidfriedman3962]

Hi Just beginning, love your projects, wood stain you are using is same as luthringers use in restoring guitars? I resides in U.S. trying to find similar product. Is yours water based? Thank you. And love your creativity! David

[@JiggsysShed]

Hi David, thank you so much for watching and commenting. Glad you're liking my projects. Yes, the stain Vibrant Stunning Stains I used is from Crimson Guitars who are luthiers in the UK and it is a water based stain. Not sure what the alternative would be in the US, however, you possibly want to look at dyes. The word stain is a bit deceiving with these as they are actually more a dye than a stain in nature. The black stain that I used was from Chestnut Products and that was spirit based. Hope that helps.

[@davidfriedman3962]

@@JiggsysShed Thank you so much. I truly appreciate folks like yourself helping educate us all. Wishing wellness and looking forward to your teachings.

[@JiggsysShed]

I am still learning myself, but am always happy to pass on what I have learned from others and my own experimentation. Thank you for your feedback.
