Stunning results... Wonderful to watch the raw timber being turned into a lovelly piece of art .You are a natural teacher sir! Thank you for sharing your craft.
I think this is one of the most beautiful pieces of wood I have seen you turn, and having seen a lot of your past pieces of art, that is saying something.
Excellent design. I love the shape and the nice detailing. The finish is supper. But to me the best part is the spalting. This is the most outstanding example of spalting I have ever seen. The contrast between the light and dark areas is unbelievable. The black outlining the colors is outstanding. This is a magnificent piece of timber and you have certainly done it proud. 👍👍 BTW Could you have reversed the body using pin jaws or a jam chuck in order to part off and finish the bottom? Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Thanks Glen much appreciated and I totally agree that the spalting is the star of the show without doubt. I myst declare that I "forgot" to show me finishing the bottom ... and yes I use either of the methods you suggest. Thanks fir watching.
Very nice, would you please tell me how do you tidy up the bottom after parting off? And does gripping the lid inner tenon in order to finish the top leave any marks? Thanks!
Thanks Andy. I grip a sanding arbour in a Jacobs chuck on the lathe and San the nub and the base, then apply a finish . I don't apply much pressure when I grab the lid, and male very light cuts so as not to dislodge it, and then you get not pressure marks. Thanks for watching.
What a beautiful project and the spalted beech is out of this world! How do you clean up the material that makes it into the wire burning grooves? I'm a new turner and I've just started experimenting with wire burning on my bowls. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Take care.
beautiful box indeed i have been fortunate enough to have a few pieces of that spalted beech from a friend who took down a tree in their yard i was curious what the head gear you were where with the filter on top ?
A beautiful bowl, my husband is 2 months into woodturning, and I noticed while watching he kept saying, "How did he do that?" Especially with a wire? We both felt more narrative would have been very useful. Or links to where this can be shown? Many thanks on his behalf 😉 but great videos
Thanks Cheryl ... I try to mix "tutorial" type videos with entertainment type videos this occasion was not a tutorial. I have covered most if not all methods I use in the past with how to videos.Thanks for watching it's much appreciated. Cheers. Mike
Mike, it's a nice box. Howcome you don't turn a mortise or tenon on the bottom and flip it back around when the bottom is finished. Ive been subscribed to your channel for like 8 years now. But I can't stand to see people just part off a beautiful piece and have a totally unfinished bottom. Is it because when you move it in the chuck it would change the center or something?
I always and I mean always finish the bottom of all my pieces Troy. I just didn't show it on this one for no other reason than I forgot 😁 I usually put a sanding arbour in a Jacobs chuck and sand them that way, then apply the finish. Thanks for watching. Cheers. Mike

Thank You! Beautiful box and piece of beech.

I usually put a large rubber O ring on the lip of the lid, it gives it a nice snug fit and I think it looks a bit more well made.
Nice tip .... thank you.

4:27. I see you used the John Wayne way of polishing the vessel with the True Grit Yorkshire grit wax.😊
😅😅
Quite nice all around. Thank you.
Thanks David.
I love your different designs. Gives me ideas and challenges. Do you use mostly spindle gouges for shaping once round?
Thank Donald, yes I do ... normally the 1/2" and 3/8". Thanks for watching.
Very nice, would you please tell me how do you tidy up the bottom after parting off? And does gripping the lid inner tenon in order to finish the top leave any marks? Thanks!

Thank you Earl. I just sand as normal and the overturn is then addressed. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Steve, the respirator I wear is the Evolution from Axminster Tools and Machinery here in the UK. Cheers. Mike
@@MikeWaldt thank you for the reply
Excelente trabajo, me puede decir que tipo de madera utilizo, gracias
Thank you ... the wood is Spalted Beech.
A beautiful bowl, my husband is 2 months into woodturning, and I noticed while watching he kept saying, "How did he do that?" Especially with a wire? We both felt more narrative would have been very useful. Or links to where this can be shown?
