Another fine piece, thanks for sharing.

[@shirleyspades4740]

I have never seen so many beautiful art pieces in my life. This man is very talented. So glad I went there yesterday and and got some of his pieces.

Love you enthusiasm and the enjoyment you share.

Thank you for watching my friend. Be safe and healthy

[@stephendsurowitzormondfinf4490]

By the way the Lacewood looked beautiful great job!! You put a lot of time and thought into it before you did it! Looks super good!!

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Great looking wing bowl 👍

[@glencrandall7051]

You cannot put me on the spot here. I like both of them. They each have features that I like. Both are appealing woods and the overall shape is much alike on each of them. So, sorry, I won't stick my neck out for one over the other. Thank you for sharing and please stay healthy.

[@AlFurtado]

Sure I can my friend. We won't hold it against you as long as you choose the correct one and if not we don't toss you off the bridge we just trow a few stones at you LOL Be safe and healthy

[@richkeelan1312]

Absolutely Beautiful love the grain of that wood great job Al I personally I like the one with lid

[@kerryc4556]

You should have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. You make my day. So humble and informative. I like it when you correct your “ mistakes “. Thank you for being you. Say hello to your wife. My wife is my boss also! LOL

[@AlFurtado]

Wow, thank you!

[@carolriley8472]

Lacewood is so gorgeous...love this lidded box!

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you for watching and commenting my friend. Take care stay safe.

[@SilverBack.]

Al you can not differentiate between then they are both beautiful 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you for watching and commenting my friend but sure you can LOL one is very colorful with amazing striping the other is elegant in the cuts LOL

[@mamasgonecreating1967]

Absolutely stunning. Both of them in their own way. You always get a thumbs up from me.

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you so much! stay safe

[@nicolaasmarais1068]

Very nice it looks like a kinda space ship lol

[@betsychristina3509]

Its beautiful to see u create and it's much more when I try to see the way you see that block of wood that turns into a marvelous piece of art....thanku....

[@robertgolden1080]

Great piece Al. And a fantastic piece of wood. Love the natural coloring that you keep. As always looking forward to your next project.

[@marciak9826]

Both are beautiful, but I really like the lacewood. Thank you for sharing your beautiful craft.

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you for watching and commenting my friend. I do like them both and of course the wood pattern on the lace wood is amazing I kind of like the simplicity of the Ipe.

[@jimdavis5432]

Each one has it's own charteristics that sets it apart, from the other,, I like both.. Glad to see you going strong my friend. You are definitely one of my favorite turners. You are a very talented man..

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you for watching and commenting my friend. Well I must confess I like them both as well LOL Take care stay safe.

[@kenbeattie1958]

Al; That method of re- re- mounting the bowl to finish the bottom is something I need to learn. I tried it twice on almost finished bowls, and launched them for a tour of the shop. I guess the friction pad/block that I had on the head stock side was wrong, as the dang things both shimmied out from between centers. I keep the broken parts on my bench to remind me.....

[@gregdagg9305]

Could sense a bit of frustration with that lid, nice to see you keep your cool and your fingers. Looks beautiful.. Blessings to you and yours during these trying times..

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you! You too!

[@keithrobb3506]

nice work love it

What was the approximate size of the blank that you started tuning. Awesome job. Can’t pick a favourite. Both are unique

[@charlesball1859]

Ilike them both!

[@glenmckelvey5952]

Beautiful piece's Al but the the lacewood is on another level . Great job take care .

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you very much!

[@kathylecluyse7820]

They're both gorgeous, no doubt about it. The proportions are slightly different, but I really couldn't tell my preferred one. Anyway, thanks for sharing this Al, and do take care of yourself and your family in these difficult times.

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you for watching and nice compliment my friend. Take care stay safe.

[@raymondcoggins297]

Beautifully done

[@AlFurtado]

[@jimgreen4750]

Excellent demo, very educational. Sorry My Friend, I don't believe I ever had any wood like this to give to you.

[@AlFurtado]

Thanks again my friend! you know you could just have taken the credit because I know if you had such a piece you would have given it to me LOL

[@jptazzairbrushingjprice7250]

Beautiful piece what is it used for?

[@alexandredominguesrollo2256]

Very Very Nice..... Maravilhoso!!

[@pennyoflaherty1345]

That's another lovely piece Al - nice timber- great grain- and even a more developed artist !! Trent / Brisbane /Australia

[@yvesbernier2786]

[@michaelpalmer8632]

Great work yet again, thankyou for the inspiration to follow in your foot steps, hopefully.

[@AlFurtado]

You can do it! be safe

[@kam70111]

LOL. Good Morning from South Asia, Al. 07.40 here. Both pieces have their own character.

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you for watching and commenting my friend. Good morning from Florida LOL Take care stay safe.

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Just absolutely stunning another masterpiece from the Master The Rebel Turner, take care my friend god bless

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you very much my friend please stay safe.

[@WoodyWood]

Its like being asked to choose between your kids They both have merits Great turning thank you Al Long my we be able to listen to you talking and looking at your hair on the top of your head

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you very much my friend Ohh go ahead pick one we all know one is a favorite. we won't tell LOL please stay safe

[@philjacobus860]

Al, Both are absolutely beautiful. I turned one from sparred maple and I thought is was nice but it’s kind of plain after looking at yours. Take care my friend. Phil

[@philjacobus860]

Spalted maple. Not sparred maple.

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you for watching my friend. I am glad you have done some. If the wood is plain you add a few coves or beads and problem solved don't forget simple is better at times. Be safe and healthy

[@craigpfleger3705]

Great work.. you have a new sub.

[@AlFurtado]

Awesome, thank you!

[@WOODTURNINGBYBRANDSTRUP]

great pieces Al, Both are beautiful .. Thanks for sharing 😀 Stay safe ..

[@AlFurtado]

Thanks, you too!

[@brianmclaughlin2621]

Nice one Al a lovely combination of woods stay safe brother 🥃🥃

[@AlFurtado]

Thanks, you too my friend please stay safe

[@terryholl3819]

Well done again Al. Here in Western Australia we have similar looking timber which is called Sheoak (a native) which comes in varying colours from pale pink through to a very dark almost brown, like your piece. When it is matched with something like a rich jarrah or a pale olive wood it makes for an interesting contrast. Thank you..

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you my friend I have heard of sheoak but have never seen it. Take care stay safe.

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Both have wonderful shape and are excellent turns, done by a skilled hand. But thinner usually feels more elegant than thicker. And while I might be thicker in body, I do prefer thinner in my turnings.

[@AlFurtado]

Great point! LOL

[@johnfrye8452]

I liked both, but I do like the dark one more.

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you my friend you got good taste. Take care stay safe.

[@tomasarguinzoni9022]

They both look extremely precious, good job my friend 🤝🍻

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you very much my friend please stay safe

[@estroy4884]

A reenactment with cartoon slides would be great for the first one.

[@AlFurtado]

LOL and who is going to produce such a movie? LOL I forget to turn on a camera and you expect a Disney movie from me? LOL

[@darrenthompson6115]

Nice piece there Al... one to have a go at in the future... 👍👍 PS.... I like the lided box. PPS.... check you monitor more often... so we see all of the work and less of your hair do...😂😂👍👍

[@AlFurtado]

Thanks for the tip I will try LOL

[@alancdodd]

Always a treat to see your work. You are a treasure to watch. During the texture band part, would it have been better to have the lathe speed slower so that the texture would not stumble and cancel itself?

[@AlFurtado]

Thanks for watching. The texture tool is something that varies a lot Sometimes I get a nice clean cut at a reasonable fast freed other times I get multiple lines still figuring out that tool LOL Take care be safe.

[@virginiacopeland108]

Thumbs up!!! Clark

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you for watching and commenting my friend. Welcome back as usual.

[@scruffy6151]

Send me the one you do not want and i will pick that lol. What a bummer about the first one. One those days Al that things just don't go right got a bandage on one finger, wood flying at you and missed video. All the pieces are still Rebel Turner art. You have a good night.

[@AlFurtado]

That is an awesome choice my friend. I really have figured out the choice already LOL Send me an email LOL

[@brownsuspenders7793]

Very nice and so much nicer looking than your skew.

[@AlFurtado]

LOL Thank you very much my friend please stay safe

[@joelboston4582]

I think I would have taken that small piece of lacewood you parted out and glued it to the ash and then made my top with a small white line of ash showing only. But you are the artist. Nice piece though.

[@davidbright7411]

What king of sanding pads do you use? I have trouble keeping sand paper on mine.

[@AlFurtado]

I use sanding pads from 2sand.com but if the heat up or worn out they become trash as well LOL

[@davidbright7411]

@@AlFurtado Thanks i'll give them a try

[@pondartinc4002]

Ok Al, are you going to tell us what you did to your finger? I like the darker one without the top.

[@AlFurtado]

scrapped it not on the lathe but on the disk sander LOL Happy now? LOL

[@BradsWorkbench]

Man this video helps so much being able to hear your thought process, watching your tool angles, etc. Thank you! Question, since i know you use a variety of quality of tools.... how much does the cut quality vary with cheapness of gouge? As a beginner i say my best cut leaves me starting around 100 grit sanding. I'm using a hurricane bowl gouge.... would a higher quality tool help me get a better finishing cut or do I just need to keep practicing?

[@scruffy6151]

I don't see Al using the high dollar ones that much mostly his habor freight.

[@AlFurtado]

Me use quality tools? are you confusing me? I used the hurricane 99% of the time and the rest is a HF tool LOL A good sharp edge from top notch or cheap give you the same finish the difference at times is how often you might need to sharpen and I am not so sure about that either.

[@BradsWorkbench]

@@AlFurtado i said a variety of quality OF tools, meaning tools varying in quality which is why i thought you were the perfect person to answer the question 🤷‍♂️

[@barrybaillie3273]

Both great pieces Al but the first one has a bit more finesse about it, in my opinion. Love to watch your turning and design process.Barry, from across the pond.

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you for watching and commenting my friend. I agree I do like the clean look to the first one better. Take care stay safe.

[@strujich]

круто молодец

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you very much my friend please stay safe

[@TheMessyStudio]

Nice pieces, Al. I do like the embellishment on the brown one, but it would detract from the lacewood and draw your eye away from the beauty of that grain. Billy

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you for watching and commenting my friend. You are too kind Billy. Take care stay safe.

[@mountainbushcraftersallian8654]

I"M Ispired to do this with black Walnut, or.maybe Black cherry..

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you for watching my friend. As you saw it is not how fancy the wood is it is the overall design, Be safe and healthy

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you very much my friend

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you very much

[@shrimuyopa8117]

I would suggest not using a paper towel to apply finish. I don't know what type of finish you are using but I would suggest a lint-free shop towel.

[@AlFurtado]

Rule number 1. Never use cloth on a lathe. If it gets caught it could pull you hand in. Paper towel will tear away from you

[@shrimuyopa8117]

@@AlFurtado Yah the blue lint free shop towels aren't really a cloth. They break apart just as easily as a paper towel does, they just do not leave little bits of paper in your finish like a paper towel would.

[@apollolang3399]

Hey al wish I could get my hands of some of them beautiful bits of wood here in Scotland, it’s definitely harder to get here anyway check out my Instagram page you might like some of the things I have made as well hopefully it’s iplwoodworks

[@stephendsurowitzormondfinf4490]

Al, I am not criticizing you but the one thing that everyone preaches is safety! You really need to do the same! NO mask or face shield? You are sanding Lacewood and inhaling any and all wood dust is hazardous to your health! And Lacewood is a skin irritant! So for YOUR safety and that of others please start wearing a mask and face shield in your videos! You are a major motivation and influence on a lot of people including me, and safety first should be something that you preach and practice, best way to do so is lead by example! PLEASE don’t take this as an insult! Also, in so far as being more experienced with the lathe, the old saying is familiarity breeds contempt. Worrying about you and your safety has nothing to do with safety.. I just want to keep on watching you and your videos! Ormond Fine Fractal Art & Custom Woodworking.. Stephen!

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you for watching my friend and you concern I will let everyone preach the safety I will say I know I lack in the air quality often and I have to work on that but the face shield? If I am not wearing it I am in any danger of the piece striking me in the head. Now on the crotch or hands that is a different story. Please do not take offence to this, Be safe and healthy

[@stephendsurowitzormondfinf4490]

Al, No problem I am just concerned because of the amount of influence you have on a lot of people. And the only reason for a face shield is not only flying objects but it will also cut down on some of the particulate matter you are injesting that’s all. Just worried about your health and others! Turn on brother you are very enjoyable! Thanks!!

[@Vigalman1]

WHY do you keep sticking your head in front of the camera

[@crackerjack3359]

He is probably better looking than you!

[@scruffy6151]

Because he likes showing the top of his head 🤣🤣. Had to say it Al lol.

[@AlFurtado]

Cause I'm to sexy for my head LOL I'll work on that LOL
