Woodturning - Crystal Purple and Boxelder Burl bowls
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 гру 2021
- Woodturning - In this video I combine boxelder burl pieces with crystal purple tinted resin from Designer Epoxy to make this incredible two bowl set. Lots of issues dealing with a crack in the base of the large bowl and I try a number of techniques to correct it. Enjoy!

best line ever, "it wouldn't be normal if we weren't dealing with issues"
That’s the way it’s been going lately, haha. Thanks
Gimme the little bowl. I want it. NOW! Love the big one---but the little one is really special. Jim Sprague, you are amazing. And, yes, as others say down below, it's remarkable to watch you solve problems.
Thank you very much!
Please do not apologize for the length of your videos! I do not turn, but I do “stuff” and create “stuff” in very different media. I very much appreciate your work and enjoy watching the process. Your creations are beautiful to behold.
Thanks 😊
Absolutely beautiful Jim. Even your “flawed” projects are head and shoulders above anything else out there. Keep pushing the envelope.
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
You're very good hearted to laugh when things go wrong. Professionalism won out and two beautiful bowls resulted. The translucent purple is fabulous.
Sometimes you just need to shake your head and laugh 😂 thanks
Jim, I share your pain and admire your patience. My Son married a French girl and, for obvious reasons, we haven’t seen them for two years. But the French have a saying when they learn something new: tonight I go to bed less stupid. Think on that and smile each time something doesn’t go according to plan. And anyone would be in love with your work. All the best to yourself and your family for Christmas 🌞
Same to you Ray! Have a great holiday season.
Jim, make your videos as long as you like. so much amazing information. No filler, all killer
Awesome, thanks 🙏
You must be a patient individual as you maintain your good humour even when you run into obstacles.
I try to have patients, lol. Thanks for watching!
AbSoLuTeLy GoRgEoUs!!!!!!!!!! The Mother of Pearl in the light purple was such an awesome choice to highlight the burled wood. Way to go Jim! 😍
Thanks 😊
As maddening as it is for you, showing how you fix things is interesting and important.
Thanks for watching
Please don't apologize for long videos! I really appreciate the time and detail in the longer form ones.
Thanks 🙏
Thanks Jim for sharing another of your beautiful creations. Love the color separation, it looks "Cosmic" with the light shining through in your closing pictures.
Thank you very much!
I don’t even woodturn ( but really want to start .) but Your show is one of the best shows on UA-cam. Love it .. . You should make some resin and wood guitar bodies !! They’d look awesome .
I’ve always wanted to make an electric guitar, but man I’ve got way too much on my plate now, lol. Thanks 🙏
The colors-the purple and all the wood tones-are beautiful. The adventure with resin is different every week!
I can’t argue that, lol. Thanks
I absolutely enjoy watching the process you go through, even in the trials that you face during the journey. Your heart and your passion lead you to produce the very best product you possibly can, and that is incredibly admirable. I can only imagine the amount of work you put into each project, but with each one finished it shows your dedication. I loved this bowl!
Thank you so much!
I've been watching your videos with great fascination, and to be honest, your battles make it even more interesting. Perfection is overrated.
My brain need perfection, hahah. Thanks
Purple is my 2nd favorite color so you had me as Designer Epoxy! Beautiful bowl. The boxelder is gorgeous by itself, yet when you put it all together it is a true masterpiece! Great job!
Awesome! Thank you!
Boy you fought a great fight on this one. I think you should call it a win. Great job
Thanks 😊
As always, another great piece. You strive for perfection and always seem to achieve it. I truly look forward to watching your videos.
Thanks 🙏
Fantastic piece Jim. Love watching craftsmen, and women, work through problems and come out the other side.
The small bowl reminds me of an aerial picture of the Gulf of Arabia....mountains, islands and deep blue sea.
She’s a beautiful bowl, thanks
Jim: after all the frustration they still turned out very nice. The colours are vivid and the burl pieces look good. It would have been nice to turn the little one but as you said there would have been nothing left to see. I was hoping you would have spent more time wailing on the bucket but , well you found another way. "Maybe Santa will drop off that propane furnace for you next week." Wouldn't that be a surprise for you. Stay safe and keep smiling! Take care.
But how would I burn all this scrap wood, lol. Merry Christmas to you and the family!
Very nice like all of your videos none of your videos are boring they pull you in to watch more you are a good creator just like Bob Ross painting
Thank you very much!
Jim, we are our worst critics. The bowls are absolutely beautiful. Well done.
Thanks 🙏
The bowls are so shiny, Jim! Gives the look of glass!!
Thanks 😊
Jim, you really worked for these bowl. They turned out gorgeous.
Thanks 🙏
Hello Jim
The 2 Bowls are outstanding. You are a star Woodturner. Love your stuff.
Thank you kindly
So glad your client loved the outcome! I suspect if they hadn't, you'd have had your pick of customers from your viewers. 😊 Thanks again for sharing your process in it's entirety, good and bad. And that crystal purple looks super great! Another beautiful bowl set.
Thanks 😊
Held my breath a few times on that one. Very nice.
Me too, lol. Thanks
Another gorgeous bowl set Jim. I think I like the little bowl better than the big one. When you were showing the bowls at the end I thought I saw a little critter or a fish in one of the small, free-floating pieces of burl. Did you see it too? I continue to be impressed by the positivity and sense of humor you exhibit when you encounter difficulties. I wish you were closer. I’m pretty sure I’d enjoy sitting down and having a beer with you.
Cool, thanks!
Absolutely Stunning purple is my fav Color , these bowls are just Gorgeous!!!!!!
Thanks 😊
That bowl is absolutely amazing. Great video
Thanks!
Another beautiful bowl set. In regards to the crack, there's the old saying "some days peanuts, some days shells". The crack is a shells day.
Yup! Thanks
Well done Jim. If it wasn't for problems we would never learn and improve our technology .
Agreed, thanks 🙏
It is very interesting how you problem solve and share your rationale with the views. The wood floating in the epoxy is beautiful.
I really like the suspended pieces too, thanks 😊
It's tough being a perfectionist, but the bowl looks wonderful!
It’s a curse sometimes, lol. Thanks
Super pretty, flaws and all. Purple, One of my favorite colors! Great job!
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous pieces from a master turner! I enjoyed every minute of the video watching you deal with "issues after issues." Thanks, Jim.
There never seems to be any shortage of them, haha. Thanks 🙏
This one fought all the way probably the most trouble IV seen you have yet glad it worked out
Thank you very much!
This is a good video. I like the ones where you solve the problems you encounter. Even though I get a little frustrated on your behalf sometimes.
That’s understandable, lol. Thanks!
The bottom looks like 2 continents. Super pretty!!!
Thank you very much
I think they are both awesome! The purple was beautiful.
Thanks 😊
Jim, I've always been the person who was the one who said it has to be all wood. You have changed my mind in a big way, thank you! Change is good 👍
Me too, I never imagined that I would be a resin artist but there is just soooooo much you can do with it and the colors are endless, thanks
Every piece is a lesson. Good training experience. The colour is remarkable. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
They still turned out to be beautiful
Thanks 😊
Islands in the sea. It's a beauty. Great save. Great finish.😎👍👍👍👍👍
Have a great holiday.
You too! Thanks!
Great job, Jim.
I appreciate seeing the trials and tribulations as I'm starting in woodturning. Each video teaches me more than you know. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
why i enjoy your videos is you show your errors abd how to fix them is always a great learning experiance watching and learning and this a awesome bowl or should you say 2 great lesson keep doing it thanks
Thanks for watching!
I love the purple epoxy and yellow wood together, these two opposed colors make each other pop!
Totally! Thanks
Absolutely breathtaking Jim even with the small crack. Incredible
Thank you so much!
My wife asked me if it was a man thing, or just a few of us. I told her just a few, as she says. Nit Picky. They are stunning pieces sir. Love both the color and the burl.🌿 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks so much
Great craftsmanship brother! God bless! God is good!
Thanks 🙏🏻
Very pretty bowls. It sure was a lot of hard work to get the big one finished to your standards. Great job
Thanks 😊
It looks beautiful. You are certainly a perfectionist.
It’s a curse, Lol. Thanks
I love the color and the set of bowels💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks 😊
So... I generally watch ur vids on my TV but have to get on the phone to leave comments. I haven't made it 5 minutes into the video yet and had to comment... Who cares about the people who don't like long videos... UA-cam has this little button that allows them to fast forward. If they can't figure it out then maybe they can go to hell. They are the same type of people that always bitch about something. I appreciate all the videos regardless of time. Can't wait to see the rest of the project. Sorry about my bluntness. I know you have to play nice to get/keep as many subscribers as you can. Thanks for the content.
I finished the vid. I think the sign of a good teacher and true pro is the ability to show multiple way to accomplish a finished piece and how to think it of the box to fix problems. I appreciate the work around for putting a foot on that smaller core without having a vacuum chuck and that was a great idea with the CA glue in the vacuum chamber. Thanks again
Thanks Clifford, I really appreciate it!
Love the resin with the burl! Super gorgeous combo!!!!
Thanks 😊
@@SpragueWoodturning you are welcome
Absolutely fantastic. I really enjoy watching you here in Alaska.
Great, thanks for watching!
Great video instruction. Anyone who has turned for awhile comes to realize that there is a lot of thinking and problem solving involved. Things happen. Thanks for walking us through your problem solving thought process. The bowls are beautiful. The small bowl reminds me of a satellite view of a strange world. mystically marvelous.
Yes, most days when it comes to making normal bowls I can almost do it blindfolded. But this resin stuff is a whole other beast! Thanks 🙏🏻
I found your channel a few days ago, purely by chance, and I've been glued to it ever since! Every thumbnail has me absolutely intrigued and amazed at the beauty. Such beautiful work, and so much heart, sweat&tears, love, effort, skill, and a truly artistic eye. Never undervalue your work. It's amazing! And as we can see proven, labour-intensive!
Welcome aboard! Thank you very much!
Burl makes for a beautiful bowl. The purple and pearl together finish the piece beautifully. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
A real adventure and a gorgeous gorgeous result.
Thanks 😊
Another MASTE PIECE Jim I would even fly to Canada to pick up those two pieces, I will remember these before when I can fly there. I will make sure to order it them well in advance . Brilliant work
Get that plane fired up! Thanks
So sorry this one was so frustrating. But it looks absolutely incredible! All your hard work and persistence really paid off
Thanks 😊
Even with that flaw is beautiful
Thanks 🙏
Every day is a school day .........
However - when that school day stretches into two or three days that really does challenge the patience.
I am sure I would have taken a mallet to it.
At the end of the day though, that is one cracking bowl (no pun intended) and I am sure the customer is going to be more than delighted.
As for the wee bowl ...... that is just out of this world.
Have a great Christmas,
You too! Have a great Christmas! Thanks
This was beautiful. When you mix The Resin in the wood it’s kind of cool to look at the shapes. Like kids do with clouds. If you get a chance to go back and view this look for the buffalo head! I kid you not.
Vicky
Ok, I’ll see if I can se it. Thanks
beautiful work as usual. Thanks for the freezer tip about the CA glue storage.
No problem, thanks for watching!
My favorite color, love it 😊🥰💟💟💜💜 Length of video is perfect 🙂 If you were in Massachusetts, I could give you lots of wood from fallen trees from rain storms since Spring, such as oak, maple, white & black birch, elm. 34:49 the color on this is perfect. The color crystal purple is beautiful 🙂
Thank you!
Beautiful indeed 👌 With each resin pour you learn a little more 🤔
Always learning! Thanks Jim!
A bowl that just didn't want to play nice . lol . Truly a really nice bowl Jim .
Thank you!
As always. You are the best. I love the bowls
Thanks 😊, I really appreciate it!
Jim - the bowls came out very well in the end. Way to persevere! I empathize with the epoxy issues as I was performing a “touch up” pour on a piece that I thought was ready to turn. On the coring front, I think you are right about sticking with the smaller radius knife set on the shallow bowls. Whenever the post for my knife goes past the midpoint of the bowl I go smaller. It’s counter intuitive but you also end up with a deeper core that way. Keep up the good work.
Your 100% correct, thanks
The big and small bowls are awesome. I do like the small one better. I love the burl in all of your bowls!!
Thank you very much
Just caught your video for the first time. I am not a turner, but do admire the work. These bowls are gorgeous. The purple pearl resin is stunning. I would take the small one. Beautiful work.
Thanks 😊
Nice bowl. Always enjoy watching your videos.
Thanks 😊
They're absolutely beautiful
Thanks!
Salad bowl finish definitely gives the best shine! Beautiful bowl set Jim.
Thanks 🙏
You never give up good for you i think they turned out wonderful and you know that old punky wood that used to go in the fire i think that's great
Resin is a wood saver! Thanks 🙏
I would love to have one of these bowls myself, they are fabulous! Beautiful work!
Thanks again!
If u charged your client by the hours and work put into that bowl I don’t think she could afford it. I saw another turner with a similar issue and they cut out the the bottom of bowl and replaced with some small vertical burl pieces using clear resin it was beautiful and unusual. I don’t know if that would even have worked on your piece which was still beautiful but can’t be used for food use case of wholes. Jim you do great work you’re the reason why I’m such a UA-camr.
It’s highly unlikely that pieces like this would ever be used for food. I do try to make all my products food safe though. Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!
They are both beautiful but the small one is a little gem.
Thanks for watching
Love it. I think you should save all the pieces that were not usable and when you get enough, do a clear bowl with all those colored pieces floating in it.
I’ve actually debated that, thanks
You really fought this bowl to the very end. Beautiful colors in it Jim.
Thanks John, I was certainly a battle!
Love the purple resin!
Me too! Thanks
beautiful bowls, love the pearl in the purple! nice recovery on the problems and thanks for showing them. lets people know a fix is possible!
Thanks for watching!
Boy, this one really made you work for it! They turned out really beautiful regardless. I absolutely love the color. Hoping you have a very Merry Christmas! Take care & God Bless!!!
Same to you! Thanks for watching!
Lovely result despite the nemesis of the thermal crack. I realise that it's not open to a vote, but if it was, I would definitely vote for the longer videos without hesitation. I've not seen anyone who provides as much entertainment and information as you. I would also like to take the opportunity to wish you and your family a very happy Christmas, and a fantastic and prosperous new year!
Same to you Scott! Thanks I really appreciate!
@@SpragueWoodturning You are more than welcome Sir!
Seeing the way you overcome your problems is highly educational and we all learn from it 😊
Thanks 🙏
Sorry that I've not had much time to comment on your videos. I enjoy watching them. Lovely bowls, Jim, despite the issues you had with the bigger bowl. I hope the buyer is happy with their purchase :)
Definitely a mixture of purple and blue in the smaller bowl. I really like how it's turned out :)
It’s truly purple in person, the client is happy 😊 thanks
Wow!!! Beautiful!!! I loved watching your video.
Thanks 🙏
It may have flaws. But it is a gorgeous bowl. There are so many variables in making things. Relax and enjoy the making.
When it all goes to plan it’s relaxing. But when your chasing snags 🤯🤯, lol. Thanks 😊
Great video and beautiful bowl. Glad you didn't let that crack drive you to ruin the final product. I know the feeling.
It was real close, lol. Thanks
The finish on the small bowl really bring out the details of the burl. Great job on the big one and you never cease to amaze me on your attention looking for defects and how you work through them.
Thanks 🙏
beautiful bowl Jim, well done
Thanks 🙏
Jim, still a magnificent piece! I would imagine someone with a very scrutinizing eye would see the divit/imperfection. It's a keeper! 👍🏼
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Many thanks!
That was a tough one. Turned out great though, like all your stuff. Fantastic burl.
Thank you! Cheers!
Jim,
Totally awesome set of bowls. The color of the resin really sets em off with the burl. Great job👍
Thanks 🙏
Ernie smith hey jim love your work and i love the fact you have so much knowledge to share. Its always a pleasure to what you create master pieces. I guess 25 years really show.
Thanks 🙏
Glad to see you persevered through the issues and in the end wound up with an absolutely gorgeous set of bowls!
Thank you very much!
I love your sarcastic tone on yourself, your channel is awesome 👌. MERRY CHRISTMAS Jim and Wife and Family.
Same to you! I’ve got lots of sarcasm, haha. Thanks 🙏
