One of my favorite examples of basket illusion on the Internet. Thanks, Gord.
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your support, Ken!
Nice job Gord. It looks like a comfortable chair and good lighting are the most important tools. Thanks for sharing the process.
+David Sutton
Yes, David, it would be very uncomfortable sitting for that length of time on stool in the shop. Thanks for watching and thank you for the suggestion of oak banding for the burning of the horizontal lines. The glue on the banding I have is a pain so I may just use the drum sander to take some oak - or other wood - down to 1/16" and see how that works.
Take care,
.....Gord
Cross stitching in wood. Delicate and beautiful. Patience is the name of this piece.
I don’t usually name my pieces, Judith. Thanks for taking on that additional job! It looks like you’re good at it! Thanks for watching! 😃😃😃👍👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Gord -- Thank you for allowing us to follow along your journey of discovery. I had the chance to see a demonstration from the master of the art, David Nittmann. While that was awe inspiring, I also felt doing anything along these lines was beyond me. So, it was helpful to see you produce a more than acceptable bowl -- even though you made some false steps along the way. I realize that might come across as a backhanded compliment. I don't mean it as such. All I'm saying is your instruction was much more accessible to me.
+David Walser
Thank you, David. I don't consider it a backhanded compliment; you're right I did make some mistakes but I'm confident there will be fewer of them with more experience. Thanks for watching & commenting.
.....Gord
Turned out great, but wow! That's the definition of painstaking.
+John Conklin
Yes, it's a bit painstaking to say the least. Glad you liked it, John. Thanks for watching.
.....Gord
Yep. I should be getting a beading tool, because this is one project I will have to replicate and make my own!! Beautiful job Gord, both on turning, beading and coloring! I loved every minute of it! Burning those lines of the beads, that is quite a task, doing the outside and inside... so much time!! but the result is still amazing.
+Yuval Lahav Woodturning
Glad you liked it, Yuval. I hope you enjoy doing it as much as I did. I plan to do more in the future, if only because I spent the money on the pens and don't want to just let them dry up. :-) I'm cheap!!!! ;-)
Take care,
.....Gord
Gord that was incredible. A truly beautiful piece! I feel you on the mind wandering. Before I started turning there was no way I could stay on task that long. Turning has definitely improved my attention span. It is amazing how focused one can stay if they love doing something.
Take care my friend and do a kindness
Mark
+MARK Baid
Thank you, Mark. Have a great day in the shop!!
Take care,
.....Gord
First thank you again for the educational videos, and thank you for helping to find patterns. I am just beginning to try basket illusions just purchased kit from Chef wares and a wood burner. I am grateful for folks like yourself I watch many UA-cam videos like being at the University years ago. And as they say “good teaching requires constant review”. Again many thanks for continuing my education never too old to learn.
My pleasure, David. Thanks for watching!
I admire your quality of work and patience. Good job.
+Emory H
Thank you, Emory! I appreciate the kind words.
.....Gord
Now that is perseverance! Beautiful outcome. I like the design, the shape...all of it. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Gord
+Gord Roberts
LOL!! Yes, Gord, without patience and perseverance I would never have finished it. It always amazes me that I can do things that require patience since I have never been accused of being a patient person. I'm glad you liked it, Gord. Thanks for watching.
Take care,
.....Gord
Thanks for demonstrating this process. Your videos are the best.
+Brenden Morley
Thank you, Brenden. That's very high praise! I will try to live up to it. Thanks for watching! BTW, I love the background in your photo; I'm a Coke fan!!
Take care,
.....Gord
You are a very talented and patient man! What an excellent piece of art. Thanks for taking the time to make and share this video. Well done my friend.
+Mike Anderson
Thank you, Mike, although those who know me well would certainly argue the patience that you say I have. I don't know that I would call myself talented; just slow and methodical. Thanks for the kind words, Mike!
Take care,
.....Gord
Very nice Gord. A good demonstration of patience here. Take care. Marc
+Marc 's Oneway of turning
I'm happy you liked it, Marc. Thanks for watching!
Have a great day,
.....Gord
That is one amazing looking bowl Gord. I am literally in awe of your patience and accuracy, I would have gone nuts even thinking about doing this. I take my hat off to you Sir! A pleasure to watch, and also a great pleasure to see you do it....NOT me .....lol.
Great video my friend.
Take care
Mike
+Mike Waldt
Aw shucks! Coming from a Turner I admire so much that is very high praise. Thank you very much, Mike. I'm not sure I deserve it though. I would not have thought I would have the patience for it until I tried it and now I have to admit that I actually found it almost relaxing - except for the slight stress of trying not to put the ink on a wrong square; which I did a few times! I highly recommend every turner try it, if only on a small test piece like the first one I did. It's actually quite fun!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Mike!
Have a great day turning, my friend,
.....Gord
+Gord Rock
One day I might give it a shot Gord......but I don't think it'll be anytime soon....lol ;)
Wow, amazing job...! Beautiful piece...!
Cheers...
+Adam Quincey
Thank you, Adam. Much appreciated, my friend!
Take care,
.....Gord
Gord I watched Harvey Meyer about 1 and 1/2 ago. I really like this kind of art. Haven't done it so far. Made a small attempt. colors bled into next area. You did a great job indeed. One of these days... yeah.. one of these days.. thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much! I hope you enjoy it when you get around to doing it!
Take care,
.....Gord
Great job Gord but you have way more energy than I do. Thanks for doing these videos. Now back to building all the jigs you have posted.
Scott
+Scott Gaber
Thank you, Scott. I'm glad you find the jigs useful.
Enjoy,
.....Gord
Beautiful bowl. Nicely done. Wish I had your patience..
+David Vance
Thank you, David. You never know if you have the patience for something until you try it. I would never have believed I had the patience for this but I actually enjoyed it.
Take care,
.....Gord
It's beautiful, great job Gord.
+Angel Luis Trinidad
Thank you, Angel.
Take care,
.....Gord
Hi Gord! Great job my friend! Very nice design! I see it is a labor intensive process. But the results are amazing! Thanks for sharing! Cheers! Daniel
+Daniel Vilarino
Hi Daniel! Labor intensive might even be an understatement! But I enjoyed doing it so I might do some more. Besides, I'm a cheap guy and I spent about $30 on the Faber-Castell pens and I would hate to just let them dry out. Might be another one coming before too long. Of course, I'm not good at doing the same thing over and over again so maybe not. Decisions decisions! Glad you thought it was okay, Daniel.
Take care,
.....Gord
That takes alot of time the finished product is spectacular
+timothy mcswain
Thanks Timothy! I'm happy you like it. Thanks for watching!
Take care,
.....Gord
Wow, that takes a heck of a commitment. 👍
😃😃 Yes, it does take a lot of time. Thanks for watching!
Gord very nice work, amazing to put 15-20 hrs into a piece, would be hard to give away but lots of $$ would help ease the pain. I can see this as a balance between very relaxing and the road to the funny farm. Looking forward to more videos, thanks for sharing.
+John Fisher
Actually, John, I'm pretty sure it was over 30 hours in total! Yes, it would be hard to give away and I don't think I have to worry about someone offering me enough money to get me to part with it. Especially as it was the first one. I did find it relaxing and the funny farm is not that far away either. ;-)
Thanks for watching, John.
Take care,
.....Gord
That came out real good. Thanks for doing another cool video. They are always very educational and fun to watch.
The only comment I hav for improvement is to make the illusion go all the way to the bottom just like the inside. Not that I don't like yours. I do. It leaves a place to sign.
+Larry Dubia
Hi Larry,
That is an option but I prefer having the bottom left plain. It's a place to sign, as you said, and also lets you see what the wood looks like without the distraction of the basket weave illusion. Just a personal preference!
Thanks for watching, Larry. I appreciate the support.
Take care,
.....Gord
Very nice work Gord. You inspired me to order an Alisam Universal Indexing System tonight. I particularly liked the design of the beading tool you used, but could not find a similar tool anywhere. Would you mind letting us know who manufactured the tools? Keep up the super work.
+Terry Pepper
Thank you, Terry. I'm glad you liked it and I hope you will like the Alisam Indexing System; I think it's superb. Sorry about not indicating the source of the beading tools; I guess I did that in part 1 and forgot to do so in part 2. I got them from D-Waytools.com
I hope you enjoy doing basket weave illusion as much as I did.
Thanks for watching,
.....Gord
I ran out of patience years ago and no local shops have any. I tried online shops but shipment is insane...
That bowl is awesome!
+Willem Kossen
Thank you, Willem. I'm glad you like it. I'm sorry you can't find an affordable supply of patience! If I come across any I will let you know! ;-)
.....Gord
+Willem Kossen The patience shop is right next door to the insane asylum.
Your getting better it looks real nice I'm not sure if I like the top rim being red
+Richard Schaffling
Sorry if the red rim doesn't appeal to you, Richard, but my wife likes it and she is the boss!!!
Thanks for watching, Richard!
.....Gord
Cripes Gord! That's wonderful!
+stephen dickinson
Thank you, Stephen. I'm pretty happy with it myself. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for watching.
Take care,
.....Gord
this is a project only a guy with patience should tackle how many hours did it take to make it the bowl we see you must have that type of ability few of us have thanks for showing a new way to decorate our projects yours looks great by the way
+Tom Palmer
Hi Tom,
I didn't keep track of how long it took for everything but I would guess at least 30 hours total. Maybe I have more patience than I think!
Thanks for watching, Tom.
.....Gord
Proof positive patience is a virtue, nicely done!
Steve Krumanaker
+Steve Krumanaker
Thank you, Steve!
WOOOHOOO!!! Way to go Gord!!! As we say in England," A little belter"! I thought when you were turning so much wood away that you might end up with a pocket sized bowl for a minute :) Turned out REALLY nice my friend. Take care, Keith.
+Keith Barrow
Thank you for the kind words, Keith! I'm quite pleased with it. Glad you liked it.
Take care,
.....Gord
Un trabajo magnífico.
+Joaquin Guzman
Gracias, Joaquin!
Great artistic job!! I would love to give this a try. question, I see you are using the d-way bead cutters, I have the Sorby bead cutters, Would these work as well? Any way, Fantastic job!! August
+August Calderaro
I have not seen the Sorby beading tools but I would assume they should work just as well; they have a very good reputation. Thanks for watching, August.
Take care,
.....Gord
You must have the patience of JOB! Looks great.
+Phil Deeds
Actually, Phil, those who know me best would never say that I'm a patient person. Quite the opposite in fact, but when I get into the shop I just seem to relax. This was actually quite a relaxing thing to do. You never know until you try something!
Thanks for watching, Phil,
.....Gord
Gord nice bowl great video ,where do you get the signature button on the bottom of the bowl
+Layne M
Hi Lance,
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you liked it.
A friend made the logo coins for me quite a few years ago on a CNC machine where he worked. Unfortunately, he no longer works there and I don’t have access to more. I’m not sure where I will get more when I run out of them. Sorry I’m no help in locating them for you!
Take care,
.....Gord
Sweet! Nice piece Gord. Almost have the nerve to give it a try. Can the beading be done on segmented bowls to or does it have to be a solid piece? Keep up the great work. Always enjoy watching your channel.
+William Kelley
Thank you, William. I can't see why it couldn't be done on a segmented piece although I think segmented work already looks great and the extra embellishment would be unnecessary in most cases. Thanks for watching, William; I appreciate the support.
Take care,
.....Gord
+Gord Rock Thanks Gord. Not sure I would ever use I would ever use a segmented bowl or hollow form that delisciously beautiful, but I some holly boards from another project that Dyed and carved. My biggest concern is possible tearout when doing the beads. Any suggestions?
+William Kelley
Tearout when using beading tools is always a concern. The tools have to be as sharp as humanly possible!! After that there are still some species of wood that just don't take beads well. It's a matter of trying it to find out. The alder I used didn't take very well to the beads; there was a little tearout but it still doesn't look too bad. I just won't likely use it for beads again.
I've never worked with holly so I have no idea what to expect. I hope you have good luck with it, William.
Take care,
.....Gord
Nice job Gord R. thanks for sharing with us
+solrac anallero
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!!

Hi Gord
very beautiful bowl, very nice

+joao antonio santos
Thank you very much, Joao. I'm glad you liked it.
Take care,
.....Gord
You probably enjoy cross-stitching too, don't you. I like tedium, Gord, and you do it so well. :-)
Thanks for the view,
--Joe
+Joseph Scarborough
LOL No, as far as I know cross-stitching doesn't involve working with wood and I'm a bit of a purist. Thanks, Joe, for enjoying my tedious ways. :-)
.....Gord
Great job; must have been hard on the eyes! Tried the indexing plate site but would not go through. Any suggestions? Ron toydoctor
Hi Ron,
I just tried that link and it doesn't work. I will have to change the link; thanks for letting me know! If you have a large lathe this will get you to the right page:
alisam.com/large-indexing-systems.html
If you have a smaller lathe just go to their website and you can find what you need under the WOODWORKING/WOODTURNING/OT tab. I hope this helps!!
.....Gord
Great video. Well explained with both video and audio. Am looking for the program for the Graph Paper Maker. Can you comment on what program you used. Thanks and keep the videos coming.
+Mike G
Hi Mike,
Glad you liked the video! You can find the Graph Paper Maker here:
www.blackcatsystems.com/software/graphmaker.html
Thanks for watching!
Take care,
.....Gord
Great job Gord. I have done a few pieces, but only because my wife likes to do the burning and coloring. I have one question for you. The index wheel you purchased, did you also get the round rod to hold the pin from them? I only see that part for smaller lathes. Next time you need Razertip pens, etc. let me know we are authorized dealers for them. Thanks,
+Segmented Turner
Yes, the rod & pin came with the index wheel. You may want to email the manufacturer to make sure it still does if it isn't mentioned on the website.
I'd be happy to keep you in mind as far as Razertip parts are concerned but I'm in Canada and if you are in the US the cost of shipping and brokerage charges would likely be prohibitive.
Take care,
.....Gord
+Gord Rock Thanks Gord I will contact them.
Boy, that super dry Alder looks tough to turn. How long did it take you to notice the two missing red squares @ 28:35? I would have been blurry eyed by that point as well. Thank goodness you stayed with it and turned out a fantastic looking bowl. Great job and great video...Thanks.
+Gil Grace
I wondered who would be the first to notice that. I didn't notice until I was editing the video. Oh well, it's fixed now! Thanks for the kind words, Gil. I'm glad you like it.
Take care,
.....Gord
Couldn't you use a string to burn between the beads? Just a thought. I have never done any beading but you have inspired me to ty. Thanks for sharing and keep it coming 👍👏👌
+Mike Wright
I suppose you could do that on the lines running around the bowl but not the ones parallel to the bedways, of course. I enjoyed doing that way but may try your suggestion in the future. Thanks for the input!
Take care,
.....Gord
Boy! I thought segmenting took a lot of patience. This is in a whole new dimension. Does the burning cause a lot of smoke and order ? Could you do this in the house instead of the workshop?
+Gary McCoy
Gary, I have a friend who does pyrography in his house and he uses a small air filter of some kind and there is never the smell of smoke in his house. I did some of the burning in my living room - when SWMBO was not home - and she never said anything about smelling it. Good thing; I'm a bleeder!! ;-) LOL!
Take care,
.....Gord
Nice piece. You have way more patience than I.
+AnkleBiter Woodworks
You never know how much patience you have until you try something. I really didn't think I would have the patience for this but I actually find it kind of relaxing. Glad you like the bowl. Thanks for watching.
Take care,
.....Gord
awesome always interested in new ideas
Glad you liked it, Garry. 😃😃 The hard part is coming up with new ideas. I get very bored if I have to turn the same thing over and over again!
Thanks for watching!
Happy turning,
.....Gord
Beautiful! Are patterns available to buy online?
I just did a quick Google search and there are a lot of images but I didn’t see any patterns available for sale. But it was a very quick cursory search. You might have better luck. Thanks for watching!
Great result Gord Thanks
+Michael Flynn
Thank you very much, Michael.
.....Gord
How long did your markers work for? Wondering how many of each color will be needed.🤔
+Mike Wright
I only used one of each color and did not run out of ink. No idea how much longer they might last. By the time I get around to using them again they will likely be dried out anyway!
.....Gord
im not sure i have the patience but ill try....can you please share a link to the indexing wheel and the graph paper software..?
+SkunkTreeCarvings
Hi Robert,
The indexing system is available from alisam.com
The graph paper software is from blackcatsystems.com/software/graphmaker.html
You can download the software for free but there is a watermark on every sheet you print. I didn't like that so I bought a copy to remove it; it's $20 to purchase.
Take care,
.....Gord
I know you're still experimenting but dont you think burning is too much ? maybe just turning holes lines and coloring would be enough to make the drawing clear ? btw colours look really nice !
+laromande
Without the burned lines the bowl would not have the basket weave look that I was trying to accomplish. If I was just trying to something else it might not be necessary but that was my goal so the burning is necessary!
Take care,
.....Gord
Oh alright ! Indeed i just checked other baskets illusions and yeah they all bunt it haha. Do you think a thiner burner would do the job for the center of the bowl ?
+laromande
The bead burning tip I use is the thinnest I can get. It's actually sharp enough to cut you.
haha then good work Gord !
gord that is way cool thank you great video. bob
+Robert Kutz
Thanks very much, Bob. Much appreciated!!
.....Gord
watt type of marker youre using ? sorry for my english I hope you understand me

Thanks for watching,

thanks to you I apreciatte your help God bless you
I'm still a beginner; why did you put the screw on the round side? I would have put it on the round side...
+Seth Warner
I don't understand the question. You're asking why I did the same thing you would have done!
sorry, I had a brain fart! After thinking about it, I decided to shut up and watch and listen( my foot tastes really BAD!
now I know why nobody ever makes a 16" basket weave design. If I added up your time, you have close to 30 hours total in this one. Oh, and I like it very much.
+Doug Robins
16" basket weave???? Yes, Doug, I think that would be very time consuming. Then again, I just might try a large one someday just to say I did it. I'm sometimes a glutton for punishment!! ;-)
Take care,

Well done . Mike out

Pretty stuff but doesn't it bug out your eyes doing this?😁
+Mike Wright
They do tend to get a bit tired but I take a break when I need it.
Love your work. But, please take off the ring for safety purposes. I have witnessed the results.
Btw. I can show you a few of my works.
I appreciate your concern, Justin, but I don’t wear a ring or any other jewellery. Not sure what you were looking at. Thanks for watching anyway!
Take care,

Thx. I will continue to follow all of your videos.
I would like to see them! You can use my email address which is in the ABOUT tab on my channel if you like. I appreciate the offer!
Will do.
GET RID OF THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was five years ago. Things have changed. I can’t change what is already there. Sorry it bothered you so much. My newer videos are much better!
