The beauty of the grain of the wood is always king! The lightly stained resin enhances the natural beauty of the bowl and I love this very much. Your wife would have been brilliant if she claimed this bowl. The pictures taken in the snow are stunning and bring out the natural beauty. Really enjoyed watching this one.
As a Canadian living abroad in Germany trying to get great English Instructional videos and being new to both wood turning and epoxy these have been great help. Your work is very inspiring, although there is a lot to take in , I hope to try my first epoxy and burl bowl soon once I have acquired all the right materials. So thanks for the details, and links.
@@SpragueWoodturning oh, I think the green is perfect as is. I think it’s really great to see how the resin opens up a whole new channel of creative possibilities.
This bowl is gorgeous! The burl has so much character. The epoxy is a pretty color and I love that it is translucent. This bowl is a winner all around. I think it is now my favorite bowl.
That has to be one of the best resin burl bowls I have ever seen turned! One of the things I like so much about your bowls compared to other wood turners is that you leave more wood on the bowls. I don't know why a lot of other wood turners make them a lot thinner
If this was my second project and it turned out this absolutely gorgeous, I would be jumping and screaming and running in circles with how proud I was of myself!!! You are unbelievably talented! Amazing!
Another stunning peace, but i'am honest...i do love the holes. It's authentic and it looks nice. Greetings from Gert Bouwman from the Netherlands Utrecht.
Today is the first time I saw you working on your resin bowls. They are beautiful. I usually watch Nick Zammeti and Ben's Work and you are right there with them. Keep up the good work. Be blessed.
man you do some cool stuff. I did my first bowl in 1966 and its the only one I ever did, I still have it after my parents both passed on, your doing some cool; stuff, Keep up the great work
I am so impressed! By starting to use resin, you have expanded your options as far as creating. I love the light green color + pearl you chose for this resin; it was a perfect compliment to the Maple burl. This was only your second attempt at resin, and you just nailed it! Perfection. No wonder "Mama" snagged it...it is gorgeous!
Ive got to say that across all the You tube Wood turning videos ,that this is the prettiest bowl Ive seen.The light green with the light maple and the pattern of the wood is just gorgeous.Well done!
i just came across your video and I must say your work is exquisite. You are very detailed in your video which really helps to see why things are done a certain way. The final product is just breathtaking and an inspiration to what I have been wanting to take on myself. I will definitely subscribe and get some wonderful pointers from your work. I am just in love with your projects!
I think you are pretty hard on yourself. It's a very beautiful bowl! a lot of work goes into something like this!I can appreciate your effort & the end result. I'll be looking forward to your next project!
Hi... I have watched this video 3 times from start to finish and the color green is by far my favorite color combination. It is so natural looking and beautiful..
THIS one is extremely NICE !! The epoxy resin really looks like GLAS or like JADE !! Very nice !! The fact that you can also see the sides of the wood through the transparency of the resin is really beautiful. You have outdone yourself this time !! Chapeau !.
Really enjoyed watching your learning curve. Nice looking bowl though. As you say this opens endless possibilities. Enjoy the ride! 😃 Keep safe and well.👍👍
WOW what beautiful and precise work. It looks more than pretty darn good to me. I found your video by accident and was fascinated. I know less than nothing about woodturning but I plan to lurk and admire regularly. Thanks for an enjoyable and peaceful respite.
Hey Jim, GORGEOUS bowl! That’s an excellent bowl for your second round with resin! I’m certainly no expert in turning resin but, my process is sand up to 600 grit, then use an abrasive paste (I use Acks but, any would work), then use some sort of finish process. I’ve used OB Shine Juice, Acks Polishing paste, even hard bar carnauba wax. All of them work and have their place, in my opinion. I think the abrasive paste used prior to using the salad bowl finish would remove any imperfections, especially in the tight radius you were having trouble getting into. Then using your beeswax/mineral oil paste with the steel wool would help buff out any imperfections from the salad bowl finish. Anyway, plenty of experts out there that could perhaps share other tips. I just thought I’d throw in my 2 cents. Can’t wait for next weeks project! Take care! Seth
Jim. Love the possibilities for this peice. I was thinking about my dining room light. A tired stain glass with lightbulbs inside. Relpacing the glass with a larger version of your bowl would make an interesting fixture. Dan
There are some real talented people out there in the world This is a thing of real beauty and I loved watching the creative process it took to get to the finished work of art
It turned out beautiful, Jim! It reminds me of an old nautical map. Great job! Your camera takes really good videos. Can you tell me what brand it is? Thank you!
Thanks! It’s actually a GoPro 7. The pictures at the end are from my iPhone 8+. I just recently bought a Sony 5100 and will be using it in upcoming videos as well. Jim.
That was sweet! My 2 cents, don't get caught up on the swirl's just wet sand systematically all the way up to 2000 atleast, keeping it good and lubed. Then spin that polish with the drill attachment, I would not use the steel wool for the risk of the metal fragments and rust later on. I love your idea to just glow the burls! Did you pre charge the glow with a black light? Maybe extend the uv charge a little longer because it's inside the epoxy, was such a neat idea 💡 I look forward to seeing more videos thanks!
In later videos I’ve sorted out any problem that I encountered in this video. At the time I didn’t have a UV light but do now, so when you charge it under the light it does glow, next time I will add a lot more glow pigment, thanks.
@@SpragueWoodturning I'd love to have some of the cutoffs you have when you rounded the pieces. I'll pay for shipping to me if you have any extra little pieces.
Absolutely stunning piece of craftsmanship. The green epoxy works seamlessly with the burled wood, giving a real organic look. I would love to own one of these prized bowls. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Being British I tend to be quite reserved when it comes to showing emotion, I'm also quite quick to criticise imperfection. So I hope you can understand that when I say that this bowl could be the most beautiful piece of wood turning I've ever seen I'm not sycophantically giving praise over something mediocre. The colours just work together so nicely, the shapes suits the material incredibly well, and the ratio of wood burl to resin is perfect...... The only problem I see is that I fear you're going to have your work cut out making another wood and resin bowl that is as artistically stunning as this.
Wow, thank you so much for your kind comments! It was a fun project and I’m learning more every time I do one of theses bowls. Your right, the pressures on to make the perfect project, lol. Thanks again.
You can add diatomaceous earth to the mineral oil and wax to make a fine sanding paste that is less expensive than the commercial products. I buy it at the farm supply store where I get the bees wax granules. Bowl very nice, well done. You are definitely gaining on that learning curve!
True! And good suggestion. I used "pierre ponce" as for french varnish or even wax patina as on restoration of old furnitures. Yu must use it with parcimony and clean it after application. (with alcohol 99` applied very quickly with a pad in order not to burn the varnish. Obtain a vanishing "cloud" by landing on wood and movinge fast before yu leave the surface)
I know this is an old video, and you said your second attempt with resin, but this is a most beautiful bowl. Love the wood and love the finish, good choice on the resin tint as well. Well done, Sir!
What a beauty! It’s hard to beat burl for natural character. Love the translucent resin here too… maybe do that more often when you have such interesting wood to go with it?
I was thinking that's got to be worth $400 then you said it. It's worth it, you're buying a work of art not just any old bowl. Absolutely stunning.
Couldn’t agree more, thanks!
not only that but epoxy is expensive as hell
I'm so glad you continued your work with epoxy. Your work has been gorgeous from the get-go! Excellent, Jim!
Many thanks!
Your bowls are beyond words. I have never seen anything so beautiful this bowl looks like faces were painted on the inside!! Wow! Awesome!!!
Thanks 😊

Your wife would have been brilliant if she claimed this bowl. The pictures taken in the snow are stunning and bring out the natural beauty. Really enjoyed watching this one.

Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching!
I can’t help but see the acrylic as the ocean and the wood as the land masses. It’s like some world globe.
I will do it in blue next time, thanks 🙏

I’m with you, I like a bowl with some mass, especially one that’s this small. It has a good weight to it and it’s not fragile either! Thanks.
Really love the translucent green with the maple. It's such an interesting wood, and the translucent shows it off. A thing after beauty❤
Thank you very much!

Burls and resin, a match made in heaven!
It’s certainly a way to save those offcuts. Thanks.
Nice rhyme!
Love the bottle-green glass effect! Beautiful.
Thanks! It really does look like glass, doesn't it?
That's a piece of art. It should not be cheap or done fast - It's simply BEAUTIFUL 😍
Thanks 🙏
Today is the first time I saw you working on your resin bowls. They are beautiful. I usually watch Nick Zammeti and Ben's Work and you are right there with them. Keep up the good work. Be blessed.
Awesome, thank you very much!
Absolutely gorgeous! Definitely a competitor for more traditional glass ware wedding gifts.
Yes it is, I sell a lot of wedding bowls, thanks
Gorgeous bowl! I love how I can see faces in the wood. That color is seriously amazing!
Great job! Bravo
Thank you so much 😀
Absolutely stunning, the amount of work involved is superb.fantastic work
Thanks 🙏
I lke the transparent green - seeing the burl edges is so cool
Totally, thanks!
I stumbled upon this video this morning and subbed immediately. Your bowl is utter perfection, I just love it! The possibilities are endless.
Thanks for watching!

@@SpragueWoodturning Smart lady!!
Interesting to see this second bowl after seeing many of your later wood/resin pieces and how much you've learned since this bowl.
Thanks for watching
Love maple burl wood! This piece is gorgeous.
Thanks 🙏
Ive got to say that across all the You tube Wood turning videos ,that this is the prettiest bowl Ive seen.The light green with the light maple and the pattern of the wood is just gorgeous.Well done!
Thank you 😊
It’s a scientific fact most left handed people are artistic, beautiful work, greetings from Ireland.
Correct! I’ve also seen a lot of actors being left handed as well, Jim.
(Designer epoxy) love the clarity in this bowl. you've got me hooked.
Great to hear! Thanks
Beautiful artistry - the bowl is amazing and watching you create it is so therapeutic.
Thanks Chris!
बहुत सुन्दर
Wow , that is lovely 👍🏻 ultra modern .
Thanks 🙏
I just found you on UA-cam and I absolutely love your videos. Congratulations on all of your projects, they are awesome. Really beautiful work.
Welcome aboard! Thanks
a pleasure to watch an artist at work, stunning, absolutely stunning
Thanks 🙏
That is BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks 😊
Very nice. Did not think I would like the green. With the green being a light color and the pearl, it turned out nice
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Thanks 🙏🏻
I think you are pretty hard on yourself. It's a very beautiful bowl! a lot of work goes into something like this!I can appreciate your effort & the end result. I'll be looking forward to your next project!
Thanks Roger, I’ve got lots of resin casting videos now, thanks for watching!
Beautiful bowl. Good job.. Stay safe and take care. 😺❤
Thanks 😊
Absolutely beautiful bowl, love the inside shape of the burl
Thank you very much!
This bowl is beautiful; I love your subtle use of color and shimmer. Truly exceptional.
It does glow under a black light or UV light, I didn’t have one when I made this video but I now do, it’s actually pretty cool, thanks.
$300-$400 is a steal for Art like that. Cheers.
I think is a good price, thanks.
Love, love, love the colour combo! So happy the acrylic is translucent _ this reminds me of sea and sand
Me too!! Thanks!
Wood! Always! It makes the kitchen alive, warm and people at home in it 👍🏼
You got that right!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks 🙏
Beautiful combination of the burl and the resin!! As always: Nice work!!
Thank you very much
Gorgeous finish, Jim. Nice to see the burl bits get a new life!
It always made me a little sick to through theses pieces in the wood stove, now I can save them! Thanks.
Definitely worth way more than $400, the talent started shining with your second epoxy turn
Can’t argue that, thanks!
I would treasure something like this, so thank you for letting us watch as you created it.
It was my pleasure, thanks for watching.
Hi... I have watched this video 3 times from start to finish and the color green is by far my favorite color combination. It is so natural looking and beautiful..
Thanks Larry!
Absolutely stunning work.
Thanks 😊
I can see definitely see placing your work in a museum.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for your detailed engagement/explanation through the entire process. Really informative, especially for me being a newbie.
Great! Thanks 🙏
THIS one is extremely NICE !!
The epoxy resin really looks like GLAS or like JADE !!
Very nice !!
The fact that you can also see the sides of the wood through the transparency of the resin is really beautiful. You have outdone yourself this time !! Chapeau !.
Thanks from the others side of the river!
I can't believe how beautiful this bowl ended up! What an amazing job! 💜
Thanks again Tracey!
Stunning Jim wood art at its finest
Thank you very much!
This bowl is absolutely stunning. It is worth the $400 price you casually mentioned.
Thanks Scott!
This is the most beautiful bowl I've ever seen. Absolutely stunning.
Thanks 😊
Really enjoyed watching your learning curve. Nice looking bowl though. As you say this opens endless possibilities. Enjoy the ride! 😃 Keep safe and well.👍👍
Thanks Clive!
You create masterpieces left to you by the Master.
Very true, thanks 🙏
A stunning bowl Jim! These resin bowls open up a whole new direction for your amazing talent!
It sure does, thanks!
Seriously - I keep coming back to this one. It has to be my favourite of yours. Just stunning!
Awesome, thanks!
Awesome, it's so beautiful.
Thanks 🙏
Wonderful use of your prior burl cutoff pieces. Just beautiful!
Thanks 😊
I think you’ve knocked it off this time Jim, looks absolutely spot on keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Thanks, I really like this style of bowl with resin, I plan on making more!
Your creative wood turning work is be-You-T-full. Thx 4 sharing your artistic skills.
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely stunning, thank you for sharing! Can't wait to see more!
Thanks Nicole!
Another ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC job!
Thanks!
Lots of work payed off-it really is beautiful! Suggest giving it to Mama for Christmas... with love ❤️❣️ Marcus from Chesapeake VA.
She’s already claimed it, haha. Thanks.
Cool project 👍👍👍

Thanks, I hope to have them for sale this year.

Great info! Thanks.
That bowl is well worth $400. It is a piece of art. I would pay that in a heartbeat, air bubble makes no negative difference.
Thanks 😊
Beautiful bowl ! I think that’s pretty amazing for your second attempt! Again thanks for sharing your craftsmanship with us!
Thanks Randy!
I think the drill helped a lot to me but your the best in my book.
Thanks!
That turned out absolutely awesome, Jim!! Especially for only your second resin bowl! Gorgeous piece!!
It’s still a work in progress, thanks.
I can't call a vase, but one word is enough ...... Great!!!👍👍👍
Thanks 🙏🏻
Ain't that beautiful!... looks like Continents floating around the sea - was that what you had in mind when you conceived of it ?
Something like that, lol. I was just really looking for most effective way to use the burl pieces. Jim
I like the translucenook of the resin, the pieces of burl are l free after shaped which is really cool. Beautiful all together.
Thanks 😊

I was going to say that looking down into the bowl reminded me of a kind of reverse world map. Also saw lots of people...
Jim as usual you have taught me more in this video as I have not learned in dozens of other videos from other turners. You do a great job1
Thanks Doyle, I really appreciate it!
Per your request, a shop tour would be nice.
Got it, thanks.
😃😍Absolutely stunning ❤️👍.
If your wife claims it..what a lucky lady. Really enjoyed this
😊 thank you, its all her's, lol.
That was sweet!
My 2 cents, don't get caught up on the swirl's just wet sand systematically all the way up to 2000 atleast, keeping it good and lubed. Then spin that polish with the drill attachment, I would not use the steel wool for the risk of the metal fragments and rust later on.

Lol, thanks eh!
I like the Phantom Pearl whirl. Super pretty bowl
Thanks 😊
I literally caught my breath when you said that you used that as firewood! Woodworkers are a weird bunch, to say the least.
I’ve only got so much room and my wood hoarding is getting out of control, lol.
Beautiful I do not see any swirl marks. A great design great color turned out great one of the prettiest ones I’ve seen
@@SpragueWoodturning I'd love to have some of the cutoffs you have when you rounded the pieces. I'll pay for shipping to me if you have any extra little pieces.

@@SpragueWoodturning No pressure unless you make it that way. I say just keep having fun with the joy of creating!
You can add diatomaceous earth to the mineral oil and wax to make a fine sanding paste that is less expensive than the commercial products. I buy it at the farm supply store where I get the bees wax granules. Bowl very nice, well done. You are definitely gaining on that learning curve!
Thanks for the info Valerie.
True! And good suggestion.
I used "pierre ponce" as for french varnish or even wax patina as on restoration of old furnitures. Yu must use it with parcimony and clean it after application. (with alcohol 99` applied very quickly with a pad in order not to burn the varnish. Obtain a vanishing "cloud" by landing on wood and movinge fast before yu leave the surface)
