Wonderful your cluttered shop. Small and full of beloved tools and machines. With you you can see that something is emerging that creativity is more important to you than a shop in which it looks like an operating theater or a hardware store. That, but also your great ideas, make you so sympathetic to me, that's why I love your channel. Keep it up. Many Greetings from northern Germany George
VERY VERY NICE...you've got great skills...the colouring and texturing are fun and creative but it's nice to see different projects being made they can be used on besides a bowl or platter... stay safe my friend...press on😎 Joe
Looks great, Stewart, with the shape and grain. I'm glad you pinned the comment about no color because I was concerned when you first started. I always assumed that if anyone in your family moved too slow or was stationary, they would wind up spray painted but now I see that it's probably no true (I said probably). Take care. Bill
Great shape. If you liked the Woodcut Proforme or Promaster, Try the Woodcut Flexi designed for smaller forms and Small openings. It cuts like a beast also. Perfect for Forms and vases
Did my eyes deceive me, did I really just watch a whole Furini video with no colouring?! Great work Stewart, love the shape and the wood has some great character.
@@TurnedByStuart Thanks, Stuart - trying to go a bit more mainstream on some of them and just let the wood to the talking....and maybe pick up a view more viewers!
So 😥 sad. But, nature provides some awesome coloring without the help of man. That's some nice wood Stewart. Great job on hollowing that. The shape is good too. Thanks for sharing your creativity with me again. Stay safe, Vickie
Beautiful form. Yes they are great fun to turn. I love turning hollow forms but I've not tried anything that big, lack of suitable blanks being the reason.🙂
Hi Stewart, That is gorgeous. Please don't panic about no colour involved. I have done some research and it's a condition call absentiuscolourdisorder and is a temporary condition that does go away on its own without the need for any medical intervention. Take care Stewart. Cheers, Huw
Well done, Stewart ! I agree with you about the shape. A pleasing curve is difficult sometimes. This one is quite satisfying . I would purchase it from you if I could. ( I thought I heard you say Four Halloween tools. lol )
Very nice turning with hand tools Stewart. I'm at a loss with your new jaws. First, I haven't seen any like them, and 2nd, is there a specific purpose for them being so long? Thanks.
Thanks 👍 They are shark jaws from Vicmarc....a bit like the piranha ones from Axminster. I guess the length is to securely chuck larger bits of wood than this one! One day.....
Well, I guess I am going off nicely shaped brown turned objects, for once I think some colour was called for. You are right you have to try different shapes and techniques, think of the additional pleasure you will get from having a different shape to colour. So are you now in the market for a Simon Hope Hollowing Rig, my friend Pierre swears by his and not at it.
Haha....at least it doesn't look like a loo seat! In point of fact, only this week, I finally took my Simon Hope hollowing rig out of its box, nearly two years after buying it!!!
Thanks for the nice video on hollowing. It looks like this is turned in spindle-orientation, but I did not see the pith at the center of the tailstock or headstock. Can you clarify where the pith is located on the hollow form? Thanks!
It’s a great looking bowl. I’ve never tried hollow form, you used 4 tools to get your results, what one of the four tool would you recommend to start with?
Cheers, Peter - the Simon Hope 6mm cutter is great to start with, and with a cranked cutter, you can cut under the shoulders as well. hopewoodturning.co.uk/woodturning-tools-handles/hope-carbide-cutting-tools/13/hope-carbide-pro-tool?c=5 I have one of the long handles with a red collet for this tool too to add greater stability hopewoodturning.co.uk/tools-handles/hope-tool-handles/hope-quick-release-handles/4/hope-deluxe-quick-release-handles.-inc-3-x-heads?number=DQRHLGE
Cheers! I'm not too sure on the age of the log....at least a year or two, possibly more! I used this oil as the finish: chestnutproducts.co.uk/product/finishing-oil/
@@stewartfurini that’s awesome. I’m mostly asking because I have a fair amount of American beech that I could turn, but it cracks much more than European beech. Very lovely piece!
Hello Stewart, Youz always worried about cracks. Az n English teacher, (innit? ), you should know that Cracks is short for CHARACTER. So give it a chance and just love it, or else in a few years when yours begin to show, the firewood might come and getcha. Be warned. Regards, Glenn. :-)
To answer your first question, my wife. She does not care about new chuck jaws, or even new chucks. The vase, the shapes the thing. Getting the three dimensional shape to work in every direction is tough. It's easy to start chasing curves this way and that and end up with a total mess that fails in all four of the three dimensions. I'm at liberty to say how I know that. You've done a fine job with this one. If you would like to try some inspiration from the flat woodworking world take a look at the By Hand and Eye web site www.byhandandeye.com/ George and Jim think, and write, a lot about form.
Then she must be the only person in the whole world this applies to! Thanks for the link - will check it out....and will probably do some more hollering.....
Don't panic....I'm not ill.....I don't colour EVERYTHING!
We know you're not ill but colour puts a sparkle in your presence and presentation.
Natural obsession can be a good thing. Lovely turning Stewart!!!!!
Absolutely! I am to have more of it!!
A beautiful shape needs no extra colour but no colouring can improve a bad shape. This one is just lovely as is.
Cheers, Steve! Much appreciated.
I really like what you did with this . The shape is so nicely balanced. Yes the terror of hollowing always gets me👍
Thank you - one of my favourite pieces for sure!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and I really enjoyed your comment. Cheers!
Love it absolutely beautiful. As much as I love your colouring it’s really good to see a natural wood piece. 😄
Thanks so much 😊 It's been a while since I did a natural wood video....there''ll be some more in the weeks ahead. Cheers!
That is really lovely, good to see you using natural finish. I love the colours, but this looks great
I'm glad you like it - I like it too! Looking forward to doing some more!
Stewart The color shape and the spalting are all fabulous keep turning stay safe
Cheers, radar! Much appreciated!!
That compound curve is awesome. Nice one

We'll that's out the way back to colour is it, very nice Stewart 😉👍👍

Thank you, Tracey! I really enjoyed doing this one!
Perfekt und wunderschön gemacht 👍👏👌
Thank you!
Sweet piece bud
Cheers, Tony!
love the shape, interesting to see how you hollowed out.... my pet hate!!! thanks for sharing
Thanks, Grahame - it was fun to do...a few more hollowing episodes to come!
VERY VERY NICE...you've got great skills...the colouring and texturing are fun and creative but it's nice to see different projects being made they can be used on besides a bowl or platter... stay safe my friend...press on😎 Joe
Thanks, Joe - I like to have some variety......I think if it hadn't had the spalting, it would have been coloured!
It's lovely 💖
Thank you! 😊 Much appreciated, roseglo!

Haha.....it might have helped them all move out quicker if that was a real danger!!
nice form
cheers, Ian!

Thanks for the tip! Could always do with one more tool!! Cheers

Great work Stewart, love the shape and the wood has some great character.
Glad you enjoyed it! Contrary to popular belief, I don't colour everything! Cheers!!
Really like that one Stewart, beautiful piece and great vid showing log to form. 👍
Thanks, Stuart - went for minimal commentary on this one - was great fun to do!
@@stewartfurini I like your commentaries and you know I like your texture/colour ideas but this vid and piece were a pleasure to watch.

Ah, but what sweet obsessions!!

Stewart, I've just this minute got the news! - Sit down and relax, drink lots of fluids - Paint is on it's way! 😉👍 Regards, wooddude.uk

I like it. Looks a bit like pottery.
Thanks, Valerie - my first in a 'terracotta' series!
Brilliant Stewart. Im surprised it satayed natural colour 🤣. Great video 😁👍🏼👏
