There's something immensely calming about listening to the gentle voice of someone who takes in stride all manner of unexpected complications with grace and good humor. After watching a video like this, I always feel like none of my challenges in life are all that bad.

I think "Well, that's remarkably undramatic!" is my favorite line from a turning video. Undramatic, when turning huge pieces of wood, is good! LOL Spectacular piece.

Hi Mike, what a dramatic piece. The eyes standout and the shape depth of the bowl. When you put on the walnut oil it transformed it completely. Again you have turned a stunning bowl with great skill and thought along the way. Thanks for the video looking forward to the next/last one before your move. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

@MikeHolton 2 месяца назад

Thanks Roy, the last turn will be emotional, I started turning in this workshop just a few short years ago, will be strange to turn in another workshop

@NomaD_203 2 месяца назад

I love listening to you 'think out loud' as you work and ponder over challenges as they arise. The finish really brought out the character of the wood and let the grain 'emerge' to fill in the negative space around the eyes. Before that, they looked a lot like something else to me 🤔🤭🤣 . Well done! Another triumph over adversity and another beautiful piece.

🤠 My second video of yours. I subscribed because, both times, you showed how to take a chunk of wood, turn it into a blank of wood for the lathe, and then turn it into an incredibly well-balanced bowl with visual and utilitarian appeal. This is what I am watching to learn - how to visualize the possibilities present in the raw material. Thanks.

@MikeHolton 2 месяца назад

Thanks so much Charles and welcome, working with raw material is so much fun as you can never be sure how it will turn out, you may have an idea at the start but the wood will always let you know if it has other ideas 😀

the colours are incredible, and the shape is so perfect with the eyes of the wood. I hadn't thought about rot, and how you have to shape taking into consideration those things. that is just spectacular - the pinks and the oranges and the splashes of colour it seems to have. it's a great piece.
