Beautiful piece. Reminds me of my dad, who turned until he was 97 - would give me a piece he had done and say, "well, you can always use it for firewood, you know..." They would always be beautiful turnings, you know, never giving himself credit for his talent...
Al, you never cease to amaze me. innovative, adaptive and thinking outside the box all in one video. Your excellent demonstration proves this has to be tried! The large crack follows the pattern and in my humble opinion, adds another dimension to its character. Thank you for sharing.
Very nice Al. The Yorkshire Grit wet sanded did a wonderful job on that mahogany. Beautiful shine and great shape. The crack adds a nice accent. I love the winged bowls. Thanks for sharing.
Another piece for your “Star Trek” period! Simply delightful! A piece one wants to hold and touch and feel the wood and the finishes! A piece Leaxana Troi would love to have on her table. Thank you for sharing your talent! -Ellen
You are busy this week, Al. I made a sawhorse type stand for my lathe and extension. There's a video. The main reason was I do not have enough room, and I like to move it outdoors sometimes. By having no actual table makes cleaning up easier. I get very little time to use the lathe for anything other that work. Like today, I needed 4 stainless 41/2" legs for a temporary sink unit. By neighbour is in Europe, so I have no one to tig weld. I made wooden ones with a slight taper and it did the trick. Sand and seal, 600 grit, home made waxes.
Don't see the problem, I rather like the variation in finishes, it adds its own interest to the platter. The platter itself is, of course, lovely as always. Thanks for sharing, and take care, Al.
Your name « Rebel Turner » is very à propos. I was not expecting this result. Beautiful, more than respectable. I learn something new every time I watch you turn. Thank you. Levis Canada
Marvelous wood bowl, Al. We heard you in the beginning, and we totally understand. It's so hard to think about rearranging anything. Love the character of the wood in this piece. You did a fab job!
Al it's beautiful as always and I always thought mahogany was a very plain wood but that one is gorgeous absolutely love the inclusion/feathering stunning piece.
You e now got me intrigued about what your planning on doing to your lathe. Are you still planning on doing it or did you decide not to? That platter is beautiful.
I’m going to make up some Ob shine juice at the weekend I’ve got some oak I’ll try that sanding on it thanks for all you tips and inspirational videos All the best from scotland 🥃🥃
Well Al, compared to mine I guess it'll do, Lol. Beautiful as I always say about your pieces and if I ever get good enough I will try your YG method. Take care and God Bless.

How did I miss this... The Flaw-less Man Great piece Al.

Thank you I think it's worth experimenting with it. I bet if I had gone through all the grits this think would glow in the dark LOL
The ideas you give me. Everyone loves my turnings and I tell them all that it is thanks to The Rebel Turner. Thanks Al!!!
Thank you for the nice compliment I believe you have your own skills that is why people like what you do

A beautiful bowl, mahogany is such a rich wood. I have wet sanded with mineral oil but will try with my sanding paste. Great outcome.
Thank you very much very much Glad it inspires you to try new methods
Mr. Al The Rebel Turner I’m just amazed at the out come it is excellent craftsmanship just beautiful
Mr Al Beautiful work you do. Thanks
Looks great! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching my friend

I am back on woodturning on a catamaran. I hope to see you back.
très belle finition, excellent.
Thank you very much
Again, Al - give yourself more credit. It's a good looking piece no matter what.
Lovely piece Al,you saying the corners never come out quite as good as the center makes me feel slightly better about my winged bowls!
Glad it helps you understand your own situation but a buffing wheel could take care of that LOL
Marvelous wood bowl, Al. We heard you in the beginning, and we totally understand. It's so hard to think about rearranging anything. Love the character of the wood in this piece. You did a fab job!
Interesting for sure..Even you'r simple pieces come out great...Love the tone and back and forth grain in Mahogany..
Al it's beautiful as always and I always thought mahogany was a very plain wood but that one is gorgeous absolutely love the inclusion/feathering stunning piece.
I think you're right about how YG should be used. I enjoyed the process and the finished piece.
Gorgeous platter...love the design!
Thank you I am glad you liked it as well
Very nice Al, I'm going to give that method of using sandpaper to apply abrasive polish. That bowl looks great.
Lovely turning Al! Thank you for sharing the video with us👌👍😎JP
Keep turning my friend it's all good take care. Y.N.W.A.
Great idea, I have tried wet sanding and it works well on some woods. I've never tried wet sanding with Yorkshire Grit though, must give it a try 🙂
Wow!
Thumbs up!!!

"Try it You'll like it LOL" yeah I figure it will help not hurt any
Also what was the pad you used to apply the paste
hi, I once again loved you work, one question can you tell me what is in the bottle you use for the finish please. thank you
Thank you for watching my friend
Do you just put the OB shine juice over the yorkshire grit or wash off between?
For your corner, have ever try the Beal System with carnoba finish, you can achieve with what your looking for.
, but nice work.
Well I did achieve what I was looking for with what I got. No I never used the Beal system but am familiar with it. I have seen many use it.
What was the liquid you used after the Yorkshire grit
Formula is in latest video
when are u really coming back?
It will be random
first
LOL yes you were
It sure looks like walnut and not mahogany
If you use 300 grit sandpaper the YG is equivalent to 1000 grit so you end up with a 300 grit surface. Pointless!
I am not telling people to do what I do I am only showing what I do
