Wormy Spalted oak Crotch bowl with Resin Filled Holes

[@marycatherinelebouef-op4hf]

You’re amazing! All those tiny holes you filled with resin took a while and you were so patient to work on each one of them. You also have a great eye for detail, nothing escapes you! Excellent quality when working on any type of art. Thanks for sharing your experience as you turn a molded piece of wood into a beautiful masterpiece! Bravo!

Hi, kim I have watched your KZbin for many years, I ask our lord to bless you and your family,

[@mikeflood9639]

Great demo. I need to fill several cracks and learned a lot from your video. Looking forward to more shows. Thanks

[@pastorlarrypotts8289]

Beautiful piece! You demonstrate that no broken, rotten wood goes to waste. It reminds me that God values everyone. There are no cast aways in the Kingdom of God! All are beautiful Ike the bowl! Our journey just highlights God’ grace working in and through us!

[@KimTippin]

Yes!! Amen to that! He saved me from the burning pit and made me new!

[@nidasdottirmac8714]

This is the FIRST time in many turners' viewings that I have liked blue in an item. Well done.

[@joseromeroallio445]

La belleza de la veta de la madera hacía que valiera la pena luchar con las grietas y los agujeros que presentaba la pieza natural. Fue audaz tu elección del color de la resina, no buscaste la solución de disimular los arreglos, al contrario los resaltaste con ese color celeste con matiiz verdoso que con el lustre brilla como incustaciones. Una muy linda idea para arreglos pequeños, que brillan en las superfices curvas de un bowl de poca altura y y mucha superfice de madera expuesta. ¡Aplausos para tu trabajo!.

[@KimTippin]

gracias!

Hi Kim, Great video of oak spalted oak bowl, Its great to see a girl into wood turning and collecting wood that most people just see as fire wood. I see a piece of red oak worm holes or ant holes & I see something the will be made into something of Beauty. Thanks for the hint on the eye shadow.

[@KimTippin]

Thank you so much Brian! Your welcome 😉🤗

[@dalepage5511]

What a great piece of wood! Kudos to you for sticking with the process and not burning that gnarly chunk. For the future: I almost turned off the video after over five minutes of your picking the paper towel off the blank. The only reason I didn't is that I wanted to see the finished bowl.

[@mmgross144]

The desire to dive in and create is the artist born into you, while the discipline to prep properly is the craftsmanship that comes with experience and wisdom. Beautiful work!

Thank you Michael! Working on the second part 😉😁

[@armandocaceres3rd]

Beautiful job! I'm glad that you were able to rescue this piece with the glue/water method and turned it into another beautiful piece. My daughter watched this video with me and remarked how she loved this piece as well!

Hi Kim. When I have a piece that is this salty I stabilize it in cactus juice. This allows you to save as much of the beauty as you can. Great job.

Kim the spalting in this bowl is magnificent I love the resin that you filled te bug holes with the color is fantastic. It is a stunning bowl.

[@KimTippin]

Thank you Kobie! I agree! the color pops. I am thankful for those bugs :)

[@jimfisher8990]

@@KimTippin How do you decide on a color for your fill? Have you ever tried a color that closely matched the wood?

[@KimTippin]

I just put the colors I have next to the wood and see how I "feel" about it. Yes, a very technical prosses. Lol 😁 I have used colors that closely match but then that gets boring. Lol it depends on the mood I am in and what I want to create. Most of the time I will use a color that pops vs a color that matches. My favorite "close" colors are bronze, copper and black with pearl.

[@velodctr]

Alway have enjoyed watching your videos and your amazing ideas that come thru. i have noticed a similar problem with Ob shine juice. some places on the bowl will not be slick and shiney like the other parts. it's usually the end grain like you mentioned in your video. I do several applications and add some extra bLO to the dull sites and leave over night. some times this does not work. For small projects,( wine stoppers, small plates, etc) I have no problems with OB shine juice. Keep up the good work and get back on the lathe.

[@ronalves9118]

Great work, I have learned several thing to do when I buy my lathe the first is do not buy a Luguna like the one you have too many problems. I started turning about 62 years ago with the Shop Smith multi tool my Mom had. Now I want to get back into more wood work and turning hopefully segmented blanks.

[@joallawestervelt6918]

[@KimTippin]

[@s.o.5582]

Usually my taste is to let the wood be wood. Let there be voids or worm holes, however your epoxy work really adds to this bowl. Beautiful and eye caching. Thumbs up for sure!

Your work is beautilfullly done. I started turning a few years ago and just moved up to a Laguna 15/24. Possibly more lathe than I deserve at this point.

[@KimTippin]

Thank you Mark!

[@tomdoe6399]

Another great result. You have given me some ideas for future projects. I too had an issue with the speed indicator on the Laguna Lathe no longer working. In my case the indicator went dark although the lathe still operated normally. The solution was to press the emergency shut off switch then pull it back out. The speed indicator started working normally after that. Unplugging and plugging the lathe back in should accomplish the same thing. This has happened a few times in the 9 months I have owned the lathe. Hopefully your issue is easily solved. I will be interested in hearing the solution if you need to contact Laguna.

[@KimTippin]

Thank you Tom! I did all those things you mentioned plus I had unplugged for about 15-20 minutes trying to maybe reset it. Still hasn't worked. I can still operate the lathe just don't know what speed am running it. It's really frustrating being this is practically brand new. I'll let you know what Laguna says as soon as I hear back from their email. I emailed them last night.

[@rb3046]

Beautiful piece. I love the way that teal color contrasts with the wood.

[@KimTippin]

Thank you!!

[@CodyPraud]

Beautiful work once again, Kim! Instead of using a chainsaw all the time, I use a reciprocating saw quite often for knocking off the corners of my blanks before I turn them. It works pretty well with a 6" or 9" wood blade and it's a lot quieter and less messy than a chainsaw. The blanks aren't perfectly round like on a bandsaw, but it gets rid of the sharp corners.

In NZ we have Huhu beetle larvae are commonly known as huhu grubs. They hatch from eggs deposited under bark or in crevices in rotten wood. For two to three years they live in cavities they have eaten into the wood, then begin a pupal stage that lasts 25 days. They emerge as flying adult huhu beetles. In their larval form, they are edible and not too bad cooked. The annual Wild Foods Festival at Hokitika on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand they served up and are quite popular.
