The grain in that maple is gorgeous. I like the way the colors bring out the grain.

Glad you like them!

Absolutely a great pumpkin Charlie Brown Peggy.

[@PFWoodturning]

🎃

[@paulbombardier8722]

Unbelievable...the colors really help the grain come out, as you said. With the Acks...holy Toledo. I so admire your ability to work through the “preschool art” stage. It drives me crazy just watching, so I imagine it must have taken you a few times to be able to work through it. And thanks for doing that. Again, just unbelievable.

[@PFWoodturning]

It takes patience for sure. Thanks! ✌️

[@jude4896]

It's a great pumpkin Charlie Brown. Thanks for sharing

[@PFWoodturning]

You are so welcome!

[@martinmurphy5302]

Luv the color treatment, it looks like fire..beautiful.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Martin✌️

[@roamingchemist2514]

On bowls, I usually create a mortise and then turn a narrow shallow foot ring, typically 1/4" in width x 1/8" to 1/4" in height. That creates just enough of a shadow line under the bowl. On platters turned from 8/4 thick rounds, I'll typically make a tenon because I am too prone to making funnels if I use a mortise. A pre-treatment with thinned sanding sealer will help you get a more even coat of color on that first application especially the end grain areas. And I watch all of your videos to the end, pumpkins or not.

[@PFWoodturning]

Haha! Thanks!!!

[@jaybeliever1479]

Those brown and yellow tones really brought out the grain. I really like the natural finish on the inside, too. Thanks for the video.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!! ✌️

[@kenharper616]

You are an awesome young lady. Thanks for sharing.

[@PFWoodturning]

[@michaelhofer9149]

I really like the coloring on your Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown! When you first started with the brown I thought you had slipped and hit your head, but as always you pull a rabbit out of your Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!

[@richardcollins8130]

While I'm not a fan of coloring or staining wood, I like letting the wood speak for itself. But I must say that piece turned out beautiful. I just may try something like it. It is absolutely beautiful.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you, Richard! Have fun with it!

[@hrwoodworking8700]

that came out very nice. Love the grain on that piece, I might have to try that one day as well.

[@PFWoodturning]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mickeybailey5147]

Just attended the turner symposium in Waco, TX. I saw the Intrinsic dyes, but hesitated to invest in the (previously) unknown. I find joy when woodgrain pops under a finish. That maple is amazing! Check out Peke safety for a face shield air filter combo. Mine is comfortable, even over my glasses, and quiet. An exploding segmented urn proved the value of a strong frame and bump cap combo.

[@PFWoodturning]

Cool, thank you!!!

[@eliscanfield3913]

I like the stained-but-still-obvious-grain look. There's a lot of preschool art around my house these days. Some of which I need to get off the walls, lol.

[@PFWoodturning]

Hahaha! Oh the memories we will have though! Thanks! ✌️

It's a great pumpkin Charlie Brown Peggy. This was another example how well you seem to know what the end result will be, while in the beginning it all seems to get a little muddy. I always like how it turns out very beautiful. Thank you for sharing. 🌹

Looks Awesome Peggy really like how the stain makes the grain pop on the outside of the bowl love the natural grain on the inside as well. I mite have tried to match the inside to the outside but i think what you did was the right idea. Thanks for the great idea.

This has a bit of pearlescence to it...gives the orange graining quite a bit of depth, especially with the stained outside and unstained inside playing off each other. It's a great pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

[@harryrisso7445]

Its a great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. I almost always use a tenon as almost all my bowls are twice turned from green wood. When I have dried wood I usually glue on a tenon to save height.

[@PFWoodturning]

Makes sense! Thanks.

[@gavincoyle]

It's a great pumpkin Charlie brown 🤣🤣🤣 first of all let me apologise yet again for the delay in watching this video I have had serious issues with my phone so I am now on my 3rd handset so fingers crossed that's it all sorted. I have to say Peggy this bowl is absolutely gorgeous and even though the natural grain is gorgeous I really like the colours you added to the outside of the bowl. It really adds to the piece and turns it into an even more unique piece of art 👍👍👍

[@PFWoodturning]

Welcome back! Thank, Gavin. I love orange.

[@thomaswheeler5900]

Charlie Brown would be quite proud of that Great Pumpkin! I'm diggin' the use of stains and paints for color vice always using resin and mica powders. Don't get me wrong, I love using resin in a lot of my bowls, but the wood just popped with the stains.
