Splendid job, Martin. What's the new gizmo to cut-out the starburst, please? Just wondering.

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thanks very much Don. It's a laser cutter/engraver. here's a link to a video I made for it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpjdkqqfZ7x0hqc

Super nice. The inlay and the gilding work to take this great piece up to the next level. Great job.

[@MartinWoodhead]

Glad you like it Doug, thanks for watching! 😊

[@nickjan67]

It’s not clear to me how you created the sun rays. What was the machine that you put the bowl in? I presume a laser but how were the rays produced on both sides? And how did you manage the depth of the laser cut?

[@MartinWoodhead]

The laser cuts from one side all the way through. If interested, here is a video I made of the laser machine. 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpjdkqqfZ7x0hqc

Very nice. I wonder what it would look like with actual gold leaf gilding. 🙂 I might have to try gilding a bowl or platter or something. What could possibly go wrong? 😂

Clever opening to your video. Beautiful work as usual. Not so fond of the gold. I’m old school. Love the look of the wood.

[@MartinWoodhead]

[@jamiemitchell5132]

Another piece of art really like the way you use this new technology to it's best could you tell me the gold paste as the few I have tried don't give me the effect you get thanks Jamie

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thanks very much Jamie. The gilding paste was unbranded from ebay. I have not noticed any difference in branded v unbranded. So not sure why you are having a different experience with it.

Hi 👋, Martin, great to see you still making amazing pieces of art, I love the sun ☀️ burst 💥, with gold , I just recently made a very large fruit bowl, about 75c x 40c , then carved out the ends which took me nearly 3 days., I made it for a present for somebody back in the UK, Stay safe, keep up the great work , Phil from the moulin France.

[@MartinWoodhead]

Hey Phil, how are you doing, I hope life is treating you well. That sounds like an interesting bowl. keep up the good work! 😊

[@jackthompson5092]

Beautiful bowl Martin. The spalting looks like clouds above and below the sun.

[@MartinWoodhead]
