Thank you Louis! Had a show this weekend and these 2 were loved by many and I came SO close to selling both of them to one couple! They may yet be in touch 😊
Thank you Robert, I’ll be showing it with part 1 this weekend, will be interesting to see what direction the buyer like it (that’s assuming it sells 🤣) 👍
Hi Richard. All I could say when you unboxed the first one was WOW. what an amazing piece of art. This one should be just as stunning when Lenore finishes it off. Thanks for showing real time on some of it. I think either 2 or 3 are the best hanging positions. I love watching your videos Thankyou for sharing this one. Cheers. 🇦🇺
Always a pleasure to share them sir, and get your lovely comments. Got a couple of pieces to finish and edit and release, but pondering what to film next! Any ideas what you’d like me to make and film?
@@WoodWithD hi Richard. I will and most people too will watch anything you put up as it’s so interesting and you explain what you are doing. I just love watching your videos. You could show more of what Lenore does is all I could add. But don’t change anything you are doing it’s amazing. Cheers mate 🇦🇺
Hi Richard. That is amazing my favourite hanging is 2 or 3. But to be truthful it looks fantastic in any position. So love watching you turn anything. Cheers🇦🇺
Well Richard! I truly enjoyed your video and commentary. As always exquisite skill, insight to design and effort! I would be hanging it in the #2 attitude. Thanks again for your taking the time to video document this wonderful piece!
Thank you Craig! I suspect you may be aware, but there are some huge chunks of babbling cut out, because otherwise it would be you looking at a piece of wood for an hour with me ratting on about tool presentation and how hard is turners have it 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Doug! I still haven’t really decided my favourite yet, it’s mainly for when showing it at shows, but anyone interested I’ll tell them there’s the 4 options 😁😁😁👍 She might use it as a dumbbell 🤣👍
Bang up job mate. I just love the organic look of burr. (Or is burl? Haha) The broken concentric rings work well. I have a few pieces at home and have seen several of yours.. every time I look at them I think aztec settlements. So damn cool. I thought it looked wonderful off of the lathe, but the gold leaf really makes it pop. Definitely has me thinking about the lost city of Gold!! Personally I’m hung up on position 1 or 4. But the fact of the matter is it would look damn nice whatever position one would choice. I’m gonna start calling you Rocket Man.. out of this world…..
as always, absolutely stunning, love the burr, love the finish, cant wait to see the gilding!!!! option 3 for me and as always thanks for a truly interesting video, top job !!!
Two or Four. As I work my way through your catalogue this is my favourite by a long way! Can't wait to see the finished product and even the box you send it for gilding in is such a high end and professional product. The wood is just incredible and what you did with it really maximised how stunning its natural features are. Basically, if you can't tell yet, I bloody loved this
Thank you Larry. Never been a fan of lacquer or polly or the like, always 1 layer of wax, after denibbing the sander sealer and finishing to minimum of 400 grit, or up to 3,000, depending on the type of wood 😁👍
Lenor did an awesome job with the first piece, and this one will also turn out amazing once gilded. Option 3. 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing . Take care of yourselves, be safe, and healthy 🇨🇦 PS This is not the comment I wanted to post, The one I did not post showcases my writing creativity, if you would like to read it, reply with post it
@@WoodWithD Well Dick You asked for it: One month to finish this piece of crapppp and all you do during the wood turning process is flap your bloody gob, and then you attempt to influence my decision on how the damn thing should hang. Artists and their need for recognition and ego stroking. SHEESH !!!!!!!😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫. A beautiful piece, Lenor did an excellent job with the first piece. Position 3 is my choice, and no you did not influence me, my computer is equipped with subliminal messaging scrubbers. so there 😝😝😝
@@yeagerxp oh fantastic! Now this side of you I love ❤️ 🤣🤣🤣. Is this a split personality thing? How many of you in there? Do you go by different names? 😆 I mainly work in my workshop at weekends only and a couple of those have been at shows in the last month 🤣 The next video I make I’ll do with NO words 😶 and see how you like that! 😁 I asked for comments on position as a ploy for lots of comments on the video which assists with the algorithms with UA-cam to recommend ones video to other viewers, which in turn generates subscribers if they like a UA-camr who likes to flap his bloody gob 🤣👍 I at least hope you like my piece of crapppp offering 🤣🤣❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗
Does Lenore use coloured metal leaf, or just pure gold leaf? Because I think this would look fantastic with a mid blue or bright green gilding. Ordinary gold is too close on the colour wheel to the orange-brown of most wood, and doesn't stand out well.
I’ve had this discussion many times with her, we have used colours in some bowl interiors and rims, and they sold well, but after 12 years now of selling at art fairs, gold, silver and copper sales far outdo the colours. I think the gold looks good in the finished one shown near the end of the video, the refraction of light is what differentiates the colour and Lenore says the gold says expensive like nothing else 🤣👍😁
Love your videos, especially as you take us through your thought process. One thing i was wondering; how have your sales been? You do very unique work so wondering if there is a strong market for them. I know an artist does not do what they do for sales but am curious.
Thank you John, much appreciated 👍👍 Sales are good, not amazing, but defo good. Takes a while even at an art fair to get a customer in front of you that both loves your work AND can afford what your asking for it AND has the space to display it. Prices have to reflect all costs, from the obvious cost of materials, to hourly rates, transport to shows, show costs (and trust me when I say there’s a difference in cost between an art show and a table at your local village hall craft fair). And as for being an artist, I guess, I just make what the wood tells me, sometimes it’s a standard bowl, other times the wood has fare grander ideals 🤣👍🤣
And Michelangelo only carved what was already in the stone. I am just starting out (retired last year), and my skill level is nowhere what my concepts require, but I am in no rush.
@@johndurning9908 you’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll develop your own methods and designs. Keep watching for inspiration and I look forward to future comments from you sir 😁😁👍
Hi Richard! I would opt for 3. For me, option 2 and 4 are ‘downhill’ for the piece is higher on the left side than on the right side. It always occurs to me as a negative thing. But that must be a personal thingy. (I was wondering if it would be possible to have 360 degree French cleat system with an outer ring and a smaller inner ring. Obviously the inner ring must be smaller and it might not support the piece properly ) Any ways, a wonderful piece you and Leonor made again!
Hey Frank, good to hear from you sir. I like that idea a lot! And may incorporate it into a future piece if you done mind! Or least do some tests! Though just thinking on it now, I don’t think I’d use it on a really heavy something like this, but a smaller version it could very well work! 👍👍👍👍
Oooooo me likely! Sorry I’ve not been around, I’m banned from fakebook lol stupid rules 😂😂😂 love this, it’s going to be stunning when gilded. Love the 1st piece too although haven’t watched the video of it yet, just seen the finished piece on here. I’m working backwards as per usual 😂 anywho, only a few more weeks left for me without a lathe, so I will be bugging you again no doubt!
Welcome back Coops! Glad you likey 😊😊😊👍👍 Want to see your makings and progress, which was coming on leaps and bounds till your move!, so you best either add me to your personal fb or start your own UA-cam!
@@WoodWithD its been 6 months since I've made anything, I think ill have to start feom scratch all over again! 😭😭😭 hopefully it will all come flooding back. Not set up another fb, just said it to p*** the reporters off 🤣🤣🤣 ill be using it again after my ban is up hehe
I’d put this to one side and only recently finished sanding the outside. It goes up at an art show this coming weekend, along with part 1. I will put it in position 2 or 4! 😁😁😁👍
Really like this piece, option 3 slightly edges it over option 4.
Thank you Sir Raymond. Must speak soon old bean. Give me a shout one eve 👍👍❤️
Again sooo stunning! And that gold finish just tops it off beautifully.
Thank you Louis! Had a show this weekend and these 2 were loved by many and I came SO close to selling both of them to one couple! They may yet be in touch 😊
I’m glad you put many cleats on them as if they hung in my wall I would change them regularly
Good work Richard !!!
You could almost make it part of a daily workout 😊😀👍
Beautiful piece I wish it was mine. I think option three would be my guess.
Thank you Robert, I’ll be showing it with part 1 this weekend, will be interesting to see what direction the buyer like it (that’s assuming it sells 🤣) 👍

@@WoodWithD I'm sure that it is easy to get long winded. I've never done videos like you but i whish i had that ability.
Very nice 😍
You never said which option!? 11:45
Option 2 and 3 are my favourites.
Another lovely piece as always
Shucks thanks Kristina! 🤗 I think I’m tending more to 4 this minute! But that’s the beauty of the optional brackets 😁👍
@@WoodWithD depending what mood your in or what season it is you could change it 🤣
@@kristinamcmichael3853 use it as a weights workout, three rotations to the left and three to the right and repeat 😁👍😁
Either 2 or 3. Love the burl. So much to look at and discover. Beautiful. Looking forward to seeing what Lenor does with it.
Thank you Doug! I still haven’t really decided my favourite yet, it’s mainly for when showing it at shows, but anyone interested I’ll tell them there’s the 4 options 😁😁😁👍

Beautiful turning mate. I suppose the positioning will be up to the buyer , I like 2 and 4. If its burr 2 but if its burl 4 . Lol
🤣🤣🤣 Bless your heart Patrick 🤗 Looking forward to more videos on your channel sir 👍❤️

I love my boxes and always pushing Lenore to appreciate them, but she never cares enough 😭🤣🤣🤣 so thank you!
Option 4 ❤
😁❤️👍
Very nice work Dick. It’s option 1 for me. After sanding sealer did you use lacquer or wax for a finish?

Yeah it looked like a pair of ------ LOL
Very beautiful and another amazing job turning it also!!!
I enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
🤣🤣🤣 yup, it did 🤣🤣🤣👍
what's the heaviest item you've turned on that thing then?
I think that’s possibly the heaviest, albeit in 2 parts. Which option did you like at 11:45?
@@WoodWithD option 1 for me.
heaviest i've had on my lathe was 75kg.
@@steveearis4786 wow! But then I’ve seen your lathe and it ain’t a baby like mine 🤣🤣🤣👍
My favorite so far
Would look nice in your orangery sir!
