Patricia Bockenstette thank you for watching. Yes I do enjoy a project that was supposed to go one way and ends up in left field but still is enjoyed by so many. Thanks again!
Very nice lava bowl. I really like that effect you created with the black and yellow even though you said it really didnt workout. My first time seeing one of your videos, but wont be my last as I am now a subscriber. I've been turning almost a year now, would really appreciate any feedback, both good or bad on my turnings.
Moon Woodworks thanks moon! I’ve only been at it for a couple years myself but boy is it fun! UA-cam has been a huge help in the learning process for me. Thanks again
Louis Lux thanks Louis! Will the alcohol work it’s way between the face of the block and the platter? Typically I’ll use a heat gun and melt it but I had put extra hot glue on to compensate for a slightly uneven surface and I really didn’t feel like fussing with it (ie I couldn’t find the heat gun 🙈). Thanks again!
Kennett B Turned yes it will work there. I uses 91% isopropyl alcohol in these situations from a spray bottle, saturate , wait about 60 seconds and it will come off. Also one only needs to use the hot glue on Th edge of the contact surface , which will facilitate removal.
Louis Lux I’ll have to try it! Thanks. I probably use more glue than I need but I’ve lost a piece or two where the amount of glue on the face of the glue block was suspect. Not fun watching hours of router and resin work go bouncing across the floor.
Moonpie Creations thanks Ken! Wish the red and yellow had blended a little for more of a resin lava but it got ahead of me very quickly. And I probably could have used a bit more yellow! Thanks again for taking the time to watch!
Wooden-It-Be-Nice thanks Huw! It’s actually not as thin as you would think! I was very... conservative with the depth of my mortise, right around .15 inch. Which allowed for the project to be completed without an explosive ending 🙈.
What a beautiful platter! The color of the walnut with the dark red resin is AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL. The way the red resin filled the fine grain of the walnut adds the touch of perfection. Mert, this is definitely your BEST build & turn! CONGRATULATIONS
Beautiful finish on an equally beautiful platter. Looks like I'll be making a trip to the local sawmill. Could have used a bit more pearl dust, but that's just my personal preference. You do you. Mark
turnt by Hi-Lo thank you. I agree the pour did not turn out the way I had envisioned and I was disappointed that the pearl powder kind of clung to the wood leaving it clear on the middle. I have yet to figure out why. I may have poured it too early not allowing it to remain in suspension. Either way.... I’ll be doing another when we get a bit warmer weather. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
That turned out awesome, I've been thinking of doing something similar for some time, your video just gave me the kick in the butt that I needed to get out in the shop and give it a go.
Cliff Phillips thanks for watching Cliff. I stared at this project on my list for quite some time. The kicker for me was finding the right live edge. This was good for this project but I learned a bit about this type of work. Mainly you want your live edge perpendicular to the mold not sloped so much like these. It would save on resin and give a cleaner look when finished. But if you learn a little each time you do something your work will continue to get better! Thanks again for watching!
Sebastian Gomez thanks for watching. With google translates help I am guessing you are asking about the pressure pot. Its a California air tools pot I purchased from Amazon for roughly $240. Works really well!
When you first showed it I thought that would look good with one of those moving strips of little lights running behind the lave flow. I'm sure it would look great. Not that it isn't great now
Norma 71 thanks Norma! If the pearl power was more consistent in it I think it would look great. Unfortunately it’s not so I think it would just show red lights through the bottom
Russell Anderson yeah you are right! I wish I could video them all but alas the editing takes away from my time at the lathe🥺. They were also part of a large sample order I was trying to complete. The walnut reorganized that order and I had to scramble to get another bowl made, because a good friend claimed it before I got it done!
Nice platter, sir. I'm a new subscriber, I have a question about the intro at the beginning of the video. We see you boiling a bowl, what are you trying to make the wood do ? Usually we are trying to make the wood dryer, not wetter.
Jim Renderer thanks Jim for the view and the sub! I get that question frequently and I should probably do a video explanation of what is happening. The theory is when turning a green bowl you leave the walls thick. The boiling is supposed to release the tensions within the bowl allowing it to dry without cracking or very little if any. On the particular bowl in the video, I probably didn’t need to boil it because it was maple and it’s typically pretty stable for me. But a side effect of the boil actually had the bowl at a drier state sooner for finish turning.... doesn’t make sense right.... but when the bowl is removed from the boiling water it is allowed to air dry as the residual heat continues to steam the water out. I would approximate on this particular bowl it took a full 4 weeks off my drying time. Going forward I will definitely limit the boiling of green blanks to species that are prone to cracking like oaks. Thanks again for the question, let me know if this answers it or if you would like further information
peter travis I have not. I am skeptical as the idea of drying green wood is to slowly extract the moisture to avoid warping and cracking. That said I have not tried it. Which means I have no experience to base a conclusion. And with that said.... 🤣 it is likely going to be tried in the next month or so. See if the wife yells at me for that 🤔🤣😉🤪
Kennett B Turned lol yeah I heard that with my bad ear. The way he did it was put it in on high for 30 seconds take it out to cool and repeat until it just warms up doesn’t get hot then do your final turning in a week or two. As you said that having been said I am currently watching Craigslist for a cheap microwave to use in the shop for this sort of thing
its a massive con ....whoever tells you to apply those pastes and finishes with a cloth you just waste 75% that is soaked in to the cloth use a rubber glove and a finger , zero waste.
Edgunsuk thanks for watching! A rubber glove seems like a good idea! I might have to try that. I’m extremely frugal with the paste, not because I’m cheap but I don’t like slinging it all over. So not much waste on my cloth😊. Thanks again for taking the time to watch

Very nice platter and idea. The hot glue block comes off very easily with isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle.
Louis Lux thanks Louis! Will the alcohol work it’s way between the face of the block and the platter?

Hi Mert, WOW!!!! That is brilliant. I can't imagine how thin that is in the middle. Cheers, Huw

Genial , una consulta si me puede ayudar , como es el tiempo y precion de la boma de vacio o bacum ,tengo incomvenientes con el uso.

Kennett B Turned I was watching another UA-camr turn green wood and he used a microwave to dry his bowl. Have you ever tried it?
