Thanks mike. After I have watched your channel I am always inspired to try the things you make, this beautiful bowl will be my next project. Guilty secret , I always say it was my idea, but my wife says it's funny how I always come up with original ideas after watching your channel. I think she's on to me.

@user-ml8je4zj1t Месяц назад

😂😂😂 Been there done that and I can still hear the "Yeah he made it but Mike Holton is the brains of the operation!" 😂

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

Haha tell her I stole the idea from you and I'll back you up 😜

@Traceyhepler71 Месяц назад

I had no idea black locust is fluorescent! I'm so stinking excited now because as a new turner, I've been gifted a fairly large piece of it and I can't wait to plan what I'll be making of it! Instead of one large item, I'll definitely be turning a few boxes and things from it. I can't wait!!!! Squeals of pure joy and anticipation!!!!!

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

It's great fun to turn, let me know what you end up making 😁

@Traceyhepler71 Месяц назад

@MikeHolton I absolutely will! My birthday was on the 18th and the hubby got me a Powermatic 3520C with most all of the bells and whistles, attachments and goodies (we didn't get the swing away for the tail stock) but had to get a new breaker box to wire it in. That's finally done, so I'm moving everything from his shop to my own. I'm so excited!!!!! I'll just be over here stalking your channel, watching for ideas and admiring your pretties in my down time. 😊

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

@@Traceyhepler71 Ooo that's a nice lathe and a great birthday present!!! Happy Birthday! 😀Have fun

@anthonyball2757 Месяц назад

I just wanted to say that my wife and I can't wait for your videos to come out every week. We are in the US in the state of North Carolina. We love to see what you will come up next. Be blessed and in good health.

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

Thanks so much to you both 😁

@wessnyder6345 Месяц назад

The use of the French soap stone almost looks like Mother of Pearl. It turned out very nice. I really enjoyed your black light show. Never knew that about black locust wood. Thanks Professor Mike!

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

Haha you're welcome Wes 😀

@LoisHubbard Месяц назад

It's lovely to see how relaxed you are in your new workshop Mike and I'm sure it's easier to really let the ideas flow. This piece has so many layers too it and I loved watching it be turned under the black light. Thanks for all you do!

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

Thanks Lois, it is really starting to feel like home now and I have so many ideas just not enough time lol 😀

@hansmuster1572 Месяц назад

That is a cool idea! There are different colorations of soapstone, so you could even a multicolored Mosaik like this.

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

That would be cool! 😊

@nikkiewhite476 Месяц назад

I love this idea

@TimMaidment Месяц назад

Great to see the followup on the half turning video, was almost mesmerised with the blacklight turning, especially with ideas involving resin and the wood shavings. As ever, great to hear your enjoyment coming through in your voice

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

Thank you very much, this really was a whole lot of fun 😀

@sarahtyster7342 Месяц назад

the fluorescence is extraordinary.

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

It really is quite amazing how it does this 😀

@raydriver7300 Месяц назад

I’m sitting watching your video while having my first coffee before breakfast and it’s set me up for the day. What a lovely bowl 🌞

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

Have a great day Ray 😊

@allochthonplays2978 Месяц назад

It always blows me away that any wood is fluorescent, much less that bright! Thanks for sharing.

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

haha I know it is a little freaky! 😀

@judithstanka6471 Месяц назад

Yes! I love that too. I always have to remember myself, that it is kind of silly to constantly light a UV flashlight whenever I have stuff made of locust or sumac around.

@lucaswatts1911 Месяц назад

love the patterning of the soap stone. the inlay looks amazing and its so mesmerising to turn under the black light

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

Thanks Lucas ☺️

@DAVIDBURDIGE Месяц назад

Cool to watch the wood fluoresce while on the lathe 😊

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

Thanks David, it does look pretty cool! 😀

@MightyWizardTim Месяц назад

Cool. I like the fact that it glows under black light. The soap stone inlay looks nice. Turquoise would look cool too.

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

Yes I agree 😁

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

I have been educated on fluorescent wood today!Another uniquely beautiful and imaginative piece Mike! Thank you

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

You're more than welcome Robin 😀

@RoyWCanada Месяц назад

Hi Mike, Another stunning piece. I would never have thought to use French Chalk as an inlay. As you say it is always good to experiment. The finish on the bowl really does show of the grain and the resin inlay. It was also nice to see the turning under the black light and the edge of the lip was especially bright. Thanks for the video looking forward to the next one. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

Thanks so much Roy, I love to experiment 😀

@donaldadams5342 Месяц назад

I think this is a stunning piece of craftsmanship that gives a glorious final bowl. I personally have never seen Black Locust wood & it is quite amazing & the inlay sits beautifully with it. An absolute joy to watch you 'work' Mike, thanks for sharing. Cheers, Don from South Australia.

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

Thanks so much Don, it is a beautiful wood to turn! 😀

@stevescott8655 Месяц назад

I will have to find some black locust to turn under a blacklight. Absolutely fascinating! Gorgeous piece too!

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

Thanks Steve, it really is great fun 😀

@lathingabout Месяц назад

Hi Mike. Thanks for sharing this turning. Black locust is stunning and incredibly hard when dry! Lots of sharpening required. Not that common in the UK as you know but luckily a friend had a tree come down and gave me all the wood with burrs aplenty. Just gorgeous. Stay safe and thanks once again. Nikkos

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

You lucky guy, it is a beautiful wood and turns so nicely 😀

@cynthiahamptonprince9449 Месяц назад

Completely in love with this bowl. Stunning!! What a unique idea to do the soapstone mosaic. Brilliant! You are truly an artist. Thank you!

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

You are too kind Cynthia, thank you 😀

@bobnye1597 Месяц назад

@DormentedTrio Месяц назад

"Quite nice." A bit of an understatement there Mike!

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

Haha thanks 😁

@nikkia9506 Месяц назад

I've only seen black locust wood in real life once. It's gorgeous enough with its silky grain, let alone its flourescence.

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

I know Nikki, I love it 😀

@susanburrows5288 Месяц назад

When the bowl was still on the lathe, I was noticing a couple areas in the rim that looked blurred to me. Then you pointed them out and explained that those areas were thin to almost transparent, and I just thought "ahh, that explains that it is real and not just my eyes". I think I *knew* that black locust glowed but I've never *seen* it before. It is really impressive! The wood and inlay under regular light look so good, and under the black light just look unreal! The non-glow of the inlay I think really emphasizes the glow of the wood. Thanks for continuing great experiments!

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

Thanks Susan, the glow is amazing and the wood is so nice to turn, must admit, I'm a fan 😀

@taysider01 Месяц назад

It certainly is a ONE off. Beautifully finished, excellent work again Mike

@jbjeep8324 Месяц назад

That was fun Mike! Very nice product. I knew some bugs and birds and rocks and flowers fluoresce but for some reason I never thought about plants, or rather wood. I got to learn something tonight. Yay! ☺

@Angela-en6oh Месяц назад

Hello Mike. I remember when you part-turned the bowl, and thought how lovely it was at the time. What you have created with it is beautiful. The comments you made regarding the edge are pertinent. But, as you also said, this was an experiment and the only way to move forward is through testing and challenging new ideas. In this instance it has produced a piece of art that is quite lovely. And you should be very proud of this achievement - especially as it is also the grounding for future adaptions on the theme. And I will look forward to seeing how they turn out in the future. Have a great week.

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

Thanks Angela, experimentation is what I love to do most, stepping into the unknown and trying to figure out the best way 😁

@@MikeHolton Hello Mike, there is an old saying (the title of a book, I think) that goes, “feel the fear and do it anyway”. Just a thought. 😁

Wow, that fluorescence is stunning. I’ll definitely need to remember black locust. I’m from the US, so hopefully I can get my hands on some to play around with. And I really like how the resin/soapstone inlay came out. Great job as always!

Hi Mike, I just love the way the Black Locust fluoresces like that. I'll have to see if I can get some without giving up my first born. Hmm, on second thought that might not be such a bad deal.... I'm kidding. They'd pay ME to take her back. LOL. And a very clever use of the soapstone. I've used it many times over the years but only as a marking tool. All in all, a very nice bowl you've made. Take care and keep turning, Bill Riley.

@MikeHolton Месяц назад

Thanks so much Bill, I also have kids that are unsaleable 😂
