the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzbin.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I don’t know about 10, but the only four that you need to know is push, pull, shear and scrap, thanks!

[@mnnana3772]

Lucky Lisa to not only to be receiving this gorgeous bowl, but to have such a great father-in-law! ❤️

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I think so too! Thanks

[@NothingByHalves]

The details you include throughout your video - the materials, lathe speed, hints and tips, how to unstick your fingers from a bowl or your face (😂) and the tools used along the way make them a quality learning experience. Plus, the bowl is stunning as usual. Always a plus 🙂

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@patriciamay638]

Lovely, Jim. I can't speak for others, but your occasional posting a video with the more traditional style is greatly appreciated.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Many thanks!

[@johnaugustson3412]

Jim you should have played baseball as you knock it out of the park. Designer epoxy adds to your beautiful work

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@charlessabinjr7661]

I watch several wood-turning channels on KZbin. I always finish the session by seeking out your latest or archives of related turnings you have done. Your instructions and povs help, and they leave me making plans for my work. Thank you. Designer Epoxy.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

That is awesome! Thanks

[@joeh007]

First comment !!!!!! Love it Inlay Jim is back !!!!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Your number 1, just like your Bruins! Thanks

[@chrisjohnston2449]

Designer epoxy. Well that Walnut truly is the King of Canadian Hardwoods. I am sure there will be many years of memories shared with this bowl. Beautiful workmanship

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Well said! Thanks

[@patriciamathis7042]

The walnut grain is beautiful,the light turquoise really stands out. Really worth the wait.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks for watching

[@Hortonscakes]

I'm so thankful for a Wednesday video! The inlay came out beautifully! See ya Friday! 💯💯💯

DESIGNER EPOXY Jim your spot on. Walnut is the KING of hardwood. Beautiful 100 times over!!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks

This turned out so beautiful, loved the contrast between wood and inlay. Thanks for being such a great teacher throughout your videos.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

You are so welcome! Thanks

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@fif1145]

The turquoise inlay is beautiful, and the dark walnut is the perfect backdrop for it.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@raydriver7300]

That is beautiful, Jim. Normally my favourite part is watching the grain come to life with the first coat of finish but today the second and subsequent coats really made it pop. 🌞

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Many thanks!

[@susanholiday7347]

BTW, I don't plan to ever start turning anything other than pancakes, but my little mind still has the capacity to learn something new every day. Thank you again! You are a SuperStar! 😎

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Wow! Thanks 😊

[@traceyrice]

Wow! What a gorgeous job, Jim! That inlay does look like natural turquoise. 💜

[@SpragueWoodturning]

It really does, thanks!

[@brenturquhart7090]

Walnut never gets old, timeless classic. I do like the turquoise, regardless if it’s real, it still looks great. Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Totally agree! Thanks

[@murtgman]

As you say black walnut is the king and I definitely agree with you. Simply stunning.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@kristindenton5402]

Knocked it out of the park again, Jim. She's one lucky girl.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@jeanlong4285]

The turquoise and black walnut together is beautiful. Thanks for this mid-week project.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks for watching!

[@dianeberthiaume6025]

This turquoise with the dark brown of the walnut is stunning! Wow!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Totally, thanks!

[@lohunaa]

Brown and turquoise are always a perfect color combination, this piece is really beautiful 🧡

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Armygirl82-85]

When ever I see turquoise I think of my best friend who is Native American. Great way to make plain wood bowl beautiful.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@bradedwards916]

You’re right! Black walnut is King. That faux turquoise looks awesome! Hava Goodun Jim!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Same to you. Thanks

[@Scriverbridget]

Turquoise is my favourite colour. The contrast with the black walnut is well chosen.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@cyberl0c099]

I absolutely love working with walnut, so beautiful. The turquoise contrast with the black walnut is awesome. Designer Epoxy.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@juniper617]

Would never have known that wasn’t real turquoise. Beautiful bowl.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Same here, thanks!

[@cindyward5105]

DESIGNER EPOXY Hey, Jim. Another gorgeous piece. Lisa is one lucky gal! I'm sure all the recipients appreciate your attention to detail and marvelous creativity. It is obvious you absolutely love what you do!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Wow, thank you!

[@dkokel]

I love the black walnut too. Its great that the artificial turquoise looks so real.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@liveowlcamera2837]

Val and myself can’t get enough of you videos. Designer Epoxy. 😊

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Wow, thank you!

[@canadan350]

King of Canadian hardwoods, eh? Hard to argue with that. Beautiful combination.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@amydearie9004]

The difference between faux and real turquoise was really interesting. Another Beautiful bowl! Thanks for a bonus video week.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

My pleasure! Thanks

[@dianelangendorf3941]

Love that beautiful inlay. It really sets off the black walnut bowl. I am sure the recipient of that bowl will love it!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Hope so. Thanks!

[@marycatherinelebouef-op4hf]

That is absolutely gorgeous! The turquoise inlay is beautiful! The wood has a golden tone to it! Simply marvelous piece! Great job! Bravo!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@artbowden1096]

I love the turquoise with the darkness of the walnut. It’s hard to believe that it’s simulated. Nice to see you go back to your roots too.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@maxhunt2644]

I say this everytime time you make a walnut bowl but there is no finer wood. Maybe a few species just as fine in their own way but the rich brown, the beautiful grain and the side grain chatoyance blows me away everytime I see it! The turquoise made a gorgeous inlay. I think you could inlay walnut with anything and it would look good. Love it!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

It is the king! Thanks

[@michellesutton202]

I so love how the turquoise inlay compliments the walnut wood. The bowl is a stunning piece of craftsmanship. Thanks for explaining about the tension and green wood, and end grain.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Your very welcome, thanks.

[@bwrightaway2877]

It's nice getting these midweek videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Glad you like them! Thanks

[@paintcandan5972]

love the color contrast! black walnut and blues go so well together. but really black walnut goes good with everything let’s be honest

[@SpragueWoodturning]

It sure does, thanks!

[@joanbrown4970]

Love the turquoise with the black walnut. Perfect combo. Absolutely Beautiful!!!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@juliebowen4976]

Lisa is a VERY lucky lady ! ! Beautiful Walnut bowl! Love it

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@DCHoosier62]

First let me say that black walnut is absolutely beautiful! Then adding the turquoise, wow wow wow! That is a beautiful piece. You knocked it out of the ballpark with that one. 😍😍😊 Designer Epoxy.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@r.durante528]

Again, your artistry is simply wonderful. I am sure her family will enjoy many meals with your bowl as the centerpiece!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@ericaclark7250]

Love the turquoise with that dark walnut. Love the showing of gold. 😮

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@chrissimmoms1550]

A friend of mine gave me a small black walnut blank and I thought as soon as I saw it that turquoise would contrast brilliantly. Your video confirms that.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Great, thanks!

[@johnbruhnke6349]

I think walnut and turquoise make a wonderful pair

[@SpragueWoodturning]

They sure do. Thanks

[@GerryTavares]

love how the turquoise pieces give the inlay an almost like glow in the dark kind of look/effect.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@pmlm1571]

THAT is indeed a stunner! Love the simplicity, the ring of bling, and the gorgeous wood.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@lisabrown3852]

Walnut and turquoise, what a beautiful combination

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@NOLAdee]

Beautiful wood! ❤ the inlay! I’m so happy for a mid-week video. I’m sure Lisa will love and treasure this bowl. Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@thoml1846]

The turquoise next to the walnut is beautiful

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@qapla]

Designer Epoxy It was nice to see you turning an inlay again. I agree, that looks more real than the real stuff did. The black walnut with that turquoise is really nice and that is one great looking bowl. Nice size, too. Looking forward to Friday's video.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks for watching!

[@marieestes5200]

Beautiful big bowl! My dad turned black walnut and made lamps with them, which we cherish now he's passed. Beautiful wood, including the nut shell you used recently. The grain sings and the inlay pops. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and artistry!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks for watching!

[@johnshannon0323]

The contrast of the walnut and inlay looks awesome. Designer epoxy would be neat to see used with natural inlays.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I agree! Thanks

[@gloriamccallum5447]

I really like the inlay it looks more like the natural turquoise rock!!!! And the black walnut is outstanding!!!! Love it❤❤❤❤

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@kathyoneal2478]

Definitely agree about walnut being the king. Beautiful finish on wood and lovely colors in the inlay. Another stellar video.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@libbylambert5631]

Black walnut is always a winner to me. Love it!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Totally, thanks!

[@johnlavarine8155]

Beautiful wood grain and the turquoise inlay just adds another layer of eye catching pop to the bowl. The turquoise is also a great contrast in color.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@SkyeAzimaAuroraD]

Black walnut is such a beautiful grained wood. As usual a gorgeous piece of art.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@mikemoore4443]

Jim - beautiful bowl. I like that coarse inlay material too. I worked with stress in materials for a significant part of my career. I believe the bowl after drying is in stress equilibrium which means the tensile and compressive stresses are balanced. When you final turn it you remove more end grain material from the outside and side grain material from the inside which changes the stress balance. I think this is why the bowl changed shape after the final turning. Go Designer Epoxy.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Sure, lol. I just know it’s going to move and this is the way that it usually does. Thanks for the info.

[@SomethingQuickly]

Varnish goes on and shazam! I absolutely love black walnut. Years back in college we were given a box of 3x3" 'scraps', I guess you'd call them, all sorts of wood in there, but there was some black walnut blocks amongst the bunch and all I wanted to do with it was to sand it down and put a varnish on it because the grain and colour is just so perfect - add some gold or brass accents and yeah, *chef's kiss*. The turquoise is equally perfect for it, really beautiful colours. Love it! Massive congrats to Lisa, gorgeous piece you have there! ^^

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks for watching

[@amayakawaii]

Truly a striking colour contrast! A classic.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mariagaddis5134]

Beautiful bowl the walnut and turquoise go together very beautifully, the turquoise complements the wood grain in the walnut! Designer Epoxy!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@thefreemathtutor]

You can’t go wrong with that colour combo!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Correct! Thanks

[@rogercoker1938]

I actually like the white spots in the inlay. Sanding through didn’t hurt anything. Beautiful.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@shawndavis7862]

Thank you for the lesson on wood. I am very aware of how our humidity affects building materials but never gave it much thought about the grain. As usual the results are stunning

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks

[@normagene514]

Designer epoxy. Beautiful bowl. Wow that inlay looks fabulous. Didn’t realize it takes such a long time to get it set. Definitely worth the time and effort.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@philgallagher1]

Talking about using sandpaper, I liked one of your old sayings... I remember you saying once that you should use your sandpaper as though your rich uncle was paying for it! As for the bowl itself.... What can I say - stunning, beautiful, and up to your usual standards. I must admit I prefer your resin pieces, but these wood with inlay bowls are really good too!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Those are words to live by, lol. Thank you very much!

[@jasonpaske2092]

That turquoise really pops against the walnut! Beautiful bowl once again Jim!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@susanburrows5288]

Gorgeous! Love this piece! I agree that the artificial turquois looks real and the variation in color really accents the design and increases the "real" look of the "stone".

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@msudawgma]

Walnut is always beautiful, and of course, turquoise. Beautiful work, as always!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@diedredunham7383]

As I have said many times, I love black walnuts, and this one is awesome to me. You never disappoint me! Wonderful job!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@carolscott1686]

That is an absolutely beautiful bowl. The turquoise is gorgeous with the black walnut.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@josephphillipadam8011]

That bowl looks stunning. Black Walnut is the wood I would love to turn. Thanks for giving us your tips on how to twice turn, I've learnt something to use in the future! 😂

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks for watching!

[@moonmare]

Thanks for the lovely bonus content. But I had a moment of panic wondering how I lost a day and suddenly arrived at Friday. LOL. Nice grain, and realistic fake turquoise.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@AmbrosiaR]

You're spoiling us again, Jim! The "turquoise" inlay is pretty neat and I just love walnut. ❤️ Great job!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks so much!

[@debbiemccoy2277]

Loved this bowl. The combination of turquoise and walnut was stunning. Designer epoxy.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@KerryAgins-ch9ou]

I have never subscribed to a KZbin channel in my life … until your videos. I love what you do. You have an artistic gift and I love hearing about your process while watching the videos. Another gorgeous bowl. Thank you!

[@greenmanjnj]

Same. The only channel I’ve ever subscribed to, and I watch every video.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Wow, thank you! I really appreciate it!

[@greenmanjnj]

Just gorgeous! I too love the moment when the first coat of finish goes on. Every time!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you! 😊

[@thomasbaird1316]

Walnut is a great wood to turn. The inlay really shows off nicely against the dark color of the walnut. Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@Cat_Lover365]

I love this bowl and I think the turquoise inlay is beautiful with the walnut and compliments each color well. ❤ I agree that there is no wood which compares to black walnut. Thanks Jim for another great video! 🙂

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@melloncoliee]

That's super pretty, the turquoise really pops and the chatoyance really stands out

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@robboland9857]

The size of the bowl is great, love the color of black walnut. The inlay looks like real turquoise to me, stunning sir. Over all an outstanding work of art sir. Thank you for the post, and all the hard work that goes into making it. And that means on both sides of the camera.🌿 Another ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐work of art.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks Rob, I really appreciate it!

[@biblio_mama]

Thanks for the education on natural and manufactured inlay materials. The walnut is stunning.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks for watching!

[@donnaogle7199]

Jim, I really like the bonus, middle of the week, videos. Thank you 😊✌🏻

[@donnaogle7199]

And... another beautiful piece!!!!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@valeriefuqua4641]

This has gotta be the most beautiful walnut bowl I've ever seen! I'm not really a fan of walnut in general because it doesn't have as much yellow or red in the wood color as I like, but this one turned out great! Love that turquoise! I agree that the fake stuff looks more real. Guess that's the world we live in these days!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Well said. Thanks!

[@joebainter]

Love that Black Walnut

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Me too, thanks!

[@dondeere]

another great bowl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! designer epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Love it. Walnut and turquoise, what’s not to love. Lisa better love it as well. Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I’m sure she will. Thanks!

[@dalebrittenham1823]

A great back to the basic wood bowl ... Love that Black walnut..... Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@JimJohnson-mu6gf]

Designer Epoxy The rich color of the black walnut paired with the blue of the turquoise makes this a visually stunning piece. I enjoy working with walnut and am using it in my current project paired with maple.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Great, thanks!

[@leisongivangomo4478]

YIPPEE! An inlay project 👏👏 looks great Jim!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@JDIt23]

Love the contrasting colors in this one. Love your resin work, but there is something about a "simple" inlay that is pleasing to look at.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks for watching!

[@2aarms129]

An awesome natural inlay. You are right Black Walnut is definitely the king of hardwoods, a beauty. Learned new information on how woods move (tension/relax). Thanks again.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks for watching!

[@brenda3768]

Designer Epoxy resin beautiful bowl, can't wait for Friday

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Me too!! Lol. Thanks

[@marcuswilkerson3877]

Love the grain of that walnut! I think that artificial turquoise looks great as well. That's an excellent color combo for another masterfully finished piece.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@WillaPowellGraceInTheWild]

Yup. Walnut is king!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Sure is. Thanks!
