I have 44-45 sites I subscribe to, that deal in wood turning, wood/epoxy, wood working,wood sculpturing and I must say tor channel is one of the top five. Your explanation of what your are doing, fixing/correcting mistakes (#95), and the use of coloring with different finishes. Overall good set to watch and learn from, thank you for a job well done.
You are a talented individual that is a beautiful beautiful piece that is something that I would purchase I love the color congratulations that years of understanding the blending of color , I came across your channel strictly by accident subscribed I really enjoy what you do and explaining it to us is part of the joy in understanding how the piece comes together thank you from us in the United States . I hadn’t realized this is a two piece process and while I’m at it I might as well add that only her you would tell her to turn it and come to realize you spend much more time creating unique colors blending the colors together amazing work my friend thank you again .
My lathe is too small to do much other than pens or much smaller projects, I did however appreciate these videos on the bowls and the finishes. I've not done any staining or coloring of the wood I turn - course at the Pen level exotic woods are not that hard to come by, so up till this point (about 4 years) I've just finished up "natural" wood. The oil treatment was fascinating - thank you for the lessons! Dave Roush
Really beautiful shape. Every time you begin to color your pieces I think “Why is he doing that”. But each time I like the finished piece and this was no exception. It is your wood, do what you like to it.
I do like most of your pieces you've turned but this has to be my favourite. You have also just reminded me that it has been many years since I've turned sycamore so you've spurred me on to get hold of some. Thanks for sharing.
Like this one so much I had to try a version but with just the colors in the wood. I got out what I thought was a plain blank but it was full of color and quilting. Subscribed because of your finishes but love the channel.
Hi Michael. Many thanks for your kind words. It is one of my favourite pieces, too. I have a few more blanks as nice as this one, and am considering something with a lid next time.
This is awesome. I'm new to wood turning. I've only had my lathe since November. I have already created 20 different pieces. But you just gave me a whole new perspective and ideas. THANK YOU. Tim in the U.S.
Really, really nice. What a great finish. I’m definitely going to try and replicate that as much as possible. We have an abundance of figured maple here in the US Midwest so I hope I can get something close! Thanks for the great video!
What a truly stunning piece Martin .. shape, colouring, and finish ... spot on as we expect from you. A joy to watch yout tool skills in action. Great video mate. Cheers Mike
Great bowl. I would suggest trying a Pre-Stain before coloring as it removes a lot of that blotchy-ness. You will get a much cleaner more even look to your color.
Stunning piece, Martin. Currently saving up for my intrinsic colour set and this made me all the more eager. Thanks, as always, for the inspiration. All the best for 2019
Thank you for a great video! I just purchased the sample set of Intrinsic Colors and cannot wait to try. In watching this video I see you used danish oil then sanding sealer then wax. I use Tried and True Danish oil. Is it ok to put Hamshire Sheen High Gloss wax over the top of the danish oil? Thank you
Hi naturally I always enjoy your videos... I have a question to ask you it is bothering me for a while.... what kind of dye you use water base or spirit base? or something different? Thanking you in advance from OZ jack Marashlian
Nice bowl. You guys in the UK seem to work with sycamore a lot. I often have troubles with sycamore checking.....even blanks that have been sitting in the shop for 2 years. Maybe I get an inferior variety.
Hi Ken, Thanks for watching. Glad you like the piece. The colours are from the Intrinsic Colour Collection and you can get them from a range of shops in the UK including my own shop at www.thewoodturningshop.com/product-category/brands/hampshire-sheen/ All the best, Martin
Superb as usual Martin. Are there any disadvantages quick drying with the heat gun compared to waiting overnight? Oh and our students still talk about your visit and are now basing some of their final products this year around turned pieces. You are always welcome back if passing the Nottingham area!!
I very much enjoyed your lathe skills, Martin. However, is there any reason why you didn't put a sander/sealer coat prior to dyeing the inside? That would have evened out the coloured finish coat and left not so much of a blotched stain coat.
Hi Marty. Good question. Yes, I want colour to penetrate as far into the wood as possible which would be inhibited by applying sealer beforehand. Hope that helps. Martin
Hey, Martin, I think you owe it to yourself to do a test to conclusively prove (or disprove) your assumption. The trick is to first sand down to P400 (just as you already do), apply the sander-sealer then do a light sanding of P400 again. What that then does is fill the more open pores but leaves the other, more "flat" areas open to the dye or staining which follows. I really encourage you to try this out, as I believe the results will be considerably more to your taste - yet allowing the dye or stain to penetrate where it needs to. I'd really be interested in how this procedure works for you.
hi Martin, I'm new to wood turning your videos are amazing, I'm learning some great tips and techniques from you, many thanx. just a quick question mate whats the wood colouring called thinking of investing in some, didn't think you could do this it gets better and better lol the bowl is an amazing colour WOW. many thanx Geoff p.s keep up the great videos they are really tutorial. 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Martin, super video thank you...I have a question: now that you/we know about Yorkshire Grit, would it be advisable to use YG after colouring and danish oil but before sanding sealer? Would it blur the colouring adversely etc? I’m about to try colouring for the first time!
Oil is supposed (designed) to penetrate wood. If you seal it first, the oil cannot penetrate and may leave a sticky residue on the surface. Therefore, oil first for it to penetrate and seal over the top when cured. Also, if using an oil for a food-contact piece, it is not advisable to use any sealer at all and you are best advised to keep those items finished in a simple manner as possible
Hi Brent. Thanks for watching. I'm using the Intrinsic Colour Collection in this video. If you're interested, you can find stockists of all the products here: www.hampshiresheen.com/buy
You do good work Thanks 😊
Fantastic pet bowl and cool finish.
Nice to see your workshop is as messy as the rest of ours. Nice products and great work.

Thank you for watching and your kind comment. I pleased you enjoyed it and appreciate the time involved in creating a project like this.

You threw me there for a minute with the black, yellow, and orange colors, but I was very impressed with the finished product. It looks great!
Hi just watch this video, absolutely beautiful piece of work it’s inspired me to be a bit more adventurous.
Go for it!
Very very nice. I like the shape
Im not a big fan of coloring wood, but I have to admit that the piece you have produce, looks stunning.
Hi Martin really lovely bowl...colours and shape work very well...nice one !!...... Andy.
Really beautiful shape. Every time you begin to color your pieces I think “Why is he doing that”. But each time I like the finished piece and this was no exception. It is your wood, do what you like to it.
Absolutely gorgeous! One of the nicest coloring jobs I've seen.
Thank for that Terry, very nice of you to say so, pleased you liked it.
How fast will the colour fade?
Beautiful piece
What is the belt sharpener your using, I've had a hard time finding one in like that in Canada?
A truly inspiring bowl with a finish to amaze. He has made to look so easy, but the inspiration, imagination and skill to see it done are priceless.
I do like most of your pieces you've turned but this has to be my favourite. You have also just reminded me that it has been many years since I've turned sycamore so you've spurred me on to get hold of some. Thanks for sharing.
I like the way the dark base and light underside make the coloured top ‘pop’ more. A great piece. Thanks for showing 🤓
That's a fine shape to the bowl, with a good balance of colour. The high gloss from the wax finishes it all off.
A sweet bowl Martin.
Like this one so much I had to try a version but with just the colors in the wood. I got out what I thought was a plain blank but it was full of color and quilting. Subscribed because of your finishes but love the channel.
Very fine work Martin! The color selection, application, and finish really compliment the enchanting form. My favorite of your work so far.
Hi Michael. Many thanks for your kind words. It is one of my favourite pieces, too. I have a few more blanks as nice as this one, and am considering something with a lid next time.
Love the shape Martin.
Fantastic work Martin.......I love the way you colour your work in a “natural” way that enhances the grain patterns. Inspiring!
Stunning! I may have even drooled a little bit. Lol.
Beautiful piece Martin
That came out a treat Martin keep the videos coming 👍👍
What an eye for colour and decoration you have. Never a dull moment watching you work mate. All the best, keep it coming

Beautiful project. Love the finish.
Nice to watch you turn! I miss your regular videos!🙂

Gorgeous bowl Martin. I had my doubts about the colour when you started applying it but it's so beautiful. Hope to catch up soon. Teraina ☺️
Brilliant, Love it, I must make one myself and hope it is good enough for a picture. Ron. UK

Which jig is this?
Gorgeous!
That’s beautiful Martin, enjoyed watching!
Outstanding!you've got a new subscriber and I cant wait to binge watch your other videos!
Very original beautiful work!

Thank you for a great video! I just purchased the sample set of Intrinsic Colors and cannot wait to try. In watching this video I see you used danish oil then sanding sealer then wax. I use Tried and True Danish oil. Is it ok to put Hamshire Sheen High Gloss wax over the top of the danish oil? Thank you
Thanks for watching. So long as the oil is fully cured, an overcoat of the Gloss Wax shouldn't be a problem.
Just stunning! What brand of colors and oil and sanding sealer did you use?
Great colour and figure Martin! You didn't bugger with the rim though!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi naturally I always enjoy your videos... I have a question to ask you it is bothering me for a while.... what kind of dye you use water base or spirit base? or something different? Thanking you in advance from OZ jack Marashlian

Beautiful piece Martin, I’m new to woodturning and your site, can you tell me the name of your colouring dyes and who supply them please.
Hi Ken,
Thanks for watching. Glad you like the piece. The colours are from the Intrinsic Colour Collection and you can get them from a range of shops in the UK including my own shop at www.thewoodturningshop.com/product-category/brands/hampshire-sheen/
All the best,
Martin
Beautiful piece. You apply oil then sanding sealer. What base type sealer do you use? Cellulose or shellac?
Thank you. When the oil is completely cured and dry, I use a cellulose sealer most of the time.
what is the brand of spray on colour that you put with a paper towel ? Remember cam in Canada.
Superb as usual Martin. Are there any disadvantages quick drying with the heat gun compared to waiting overnight?

Very nice piece of wood. What kind of colours do you use?
Watching this again as I'm just about to purchase some wood stains. Water based or spirit base, that is the question?
I use water based colours so I don't feel forced to rush the application before spirit based colours dry off.
@@msabansmith so it's some HS intrinsic colours for me then. I hate rushing when I'm being creative. 🙂
hi Martin, I'm new to wood turning your videos are amazing, I'm learning some great tips and techniques from you, many thanx. just a quick question mate whats the wood colouring called thinking of investing in some, didn't think you could do this it gets better and better lol the bowl is an amazing colour WOW. many thanx Geoff p.s keep up the great videos they are really tutorial. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching! I'm using the Intrinsic Colour Collection from Hampshire Sheen. Suppliers list is here: www.hampshiresheen.com/buy
Love this bowl What is the name /type of the wood colours /stains that you use ? Are they food safe ?
Hi Martin, super video thank you...I have a question: now that you/we know about Yorkshire Grit, would it be advisable to use YG after colouring and danish oil but before sanding sealer? Would it blur the colouring adversely etc? I’m about to try colouring for the first time!
Sanding sealer over oil? Thought you put oil over sanding sealer. Please expound about this. thx.

That turned out really really nice! Great video. What brand of high gloss wax did you use?
Thanks, Justin. I used Hampshire Sheen High Gloss finishing wax on it.

Ummm.....I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, but thanks for watching so closely!!
Martin, are your Intrinsic colors ever going to be available in the States?
