Woodturning project - Witcher Igni Fire Bowl - epoxy resin inlay
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- In this woodturning project I work on another commission, this time to produce a coloured Witcher bowl with the Igni fire rune design inlaid into the bowl using epoxy resin. The wood used is olive ash and the dye I used in a powdered dye that can be mixed with spirits but in this case I'm using water.
This woodturning channel, explores the uses of wood when combined with resin, epoxy, to make woodturning projects, that are easy and can be classed as art. A lot of the wood turning projects I make can be completed by the beginner through to the more experienced wood turner. If you have any ideas for artwork, wood inlays, epoxy projects please get in touch. Collaborations are always welcomes.

You do the most beautiful work, thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for saying that, I appreciate it a lot.
Mike, I’ve watched a lot of your videos and I’ve really liked everything you’ve done. There hasn’t been a single piece i didn’t like. Having said that and watching this video, this piece is no exception! Awesome job and that wood is fantastic! Oh, and great job with that inlay and coloring.
Haha I thought you were setting me up to knock me down then, many thanks 😀
Great colouring in the natural wood, I couldn’t believe how the light staining improved the outside graining particularly the smooth grain section. Well done.
Thanks again 😁
the inlay really adds to the overall appearance of the bowl. I use epoxy to fill voids and holes in bowls but have never used it for a design. Really fantastic idea
Thanks 🙏
The grain by the crack is beautiful!! It's symbolic of the fact that we're all beautiful, no matter how damaged we may be. The wood was really sucking up that first stain!
Thanks Lisa, you're right about the stain being sucked up! 😁
Now that’s more like the colouring I prefer. Stunning bowl again Mike.
So would you use the dremmel again or stick with the hand tools?
As I get better I would have to say dremmel 😀
A question for you Mike why did you not use Millipot (sp) to fill the hole? Another beautiful example of your extraordinary craftsmanship Happy Christmas from California
Thanks Judy, I could have used it but resin will get deeper into the hole in case it goes deep into the wood 😀
I like this bowl's shape and grain, especially the flaw of the crack, gives it character.
edit, About the Dremel, I know there's a metal guide they sell for doing straight edges but it's for large flat areas not a small bowl shape but if you run it along a smaller metal edge it might work but you'd still have to control the depth somehow...how about wood burning? lol🙃
I've tried all sorts to get a straight line. I have other videos on wood burning 😀
I love your videos and great craftsmanship. I was looking for someone who can make me some small bowls for change and keys. I don't know how you feel about using resin. In your projects or commissions.
Hi Sammy, I have used resin quite a few times in the past so it's not a problem. Send me an email and we can have a chat about what you would like, mike@mikeholton.net all the best, Mike
How did you get the triangle logo/inlay exactly in the centre of the bowl bottom? It might be an optical illusion, but it looks lop-sided to me. By the way, the sound reminded me of a dentist, so I am glad you reverted to a chisel 😂
Hi Neil, it was done by eye and although it may not look it, it is in the centre 😀
Its a pleasure watching you work you take great pride in every piece you do myself just a beginner but I'm taking allot of your tips and trying them thank you mike
Thanks Mike, so glad you enjoy the channel, all the best, Mike 😀
The great thing about that crack you filled, is that it kind of resembles a monster eye. lol
Haha thanks, I never thought of it that way
What is the name of the dye used to stain wood. I’m from Australia and want to get some if I can, what is the mixing rate.
Hi Greg, this is it. Brilliant Colour Wood Dyes. 8 Colour Pack. Water Based. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08N1KNNF1/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_ZJXYGEW8Q45V3TVD6QWZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 it comes with mixing instructions.
Outstanding work, enjoyed your the video.
Thank you very much Norman 😀
great work, but, what does the triangle signify?
Thanks Ron, it's a magic symbol for fire in the Witcher films and games.
Too bad I can't give you more than one 'like'!
One is enough, thanks so much 😀
Very nice work I do like that

Obrigado Ester
This is amazing So precise
Thanks Rachel 😀
Beautiful bowl. I like the way the colors turned out. The grain of this bowl is amazing. Love your work!
❤😎🙃
Thanks Dotty, Olive Ash is amazing wood to turn.
Even better on the rerun. ❤❤❤❤
haha this one brings back so many memories 😀
Nice work. I am normally not a fan of coloring wood other than color the sealer gives to it unless it is an acrylic paint butt he red wood dye worked very well. I may have to try it on a turned tulip.
Thanks, must admit it never appealed to me either but now I'm starting to like it. I would never normally do it on beautiful wood like olive ash but it's what the client wanted. Tulip would be perfect for colouring as its normally quite an uninteresting wood.
Nicely done clean and tight love the foot the bottoms are usually an afterthought Yours is well thought out. Classy✌️
Thanks Beverly 😃
Beautiful bowl. I was surprised how much resin that crack drank.
Not as surprised as I was 😃, I had to keep checking it was not seeping out onto my lathe!
Gorgeous ❤
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful. ❤❤
Thank you! 😊
Nice bowl Mike. Interesting piece of wood. I like the inlay.
Thanks, olive wood can have an amazing grain.
Ich werde wohl einige Stunden mit Ihnen verbringen müssen, weil ich Sie erst jetzt entdeckt habe. Bei der Entstehung Ihrer wunderschönen Kreationen zuzuschauen, ist mir eine Freude. Herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland
Vielen Dank für Ihre freundlichen Worte. Ich hoffe, dass Ihnen der Rest meiner Arbeit genauso viel Freude bereitet. Alles Gute, Mike
🤘
👍😄
Great work :) your doing amazing keep it up
Thanks Philippa always appreciate the encouragement :D
Great looking bowl Mike. 👍👍👍
Thanks Simon :)
I love the outside colour you achieved for this bowl, and the shape.
I am sure the new owners are going to be over the moon with it.
Another beautiful piece Mike, congrats.
Have a fantastic evening
Thanks Fiona, this was a commission from another one of my students. They have been very supportive 😀
@@MikeHolton if I ever get over to the UK I will commission a piece so I can collect it 😁
@@fionacrouch1732 haha, that sounds like a plan 😁
