This video is about turning the #project from Steve at SK Krafts. The project for May 2023 is #texturedbowl. I turned a small bowl from a piece of walnut and added some texture lines to it, then painted the lines in with Jo Sonja Iridescent Turquoise paint.

Currently I'm listening to a podcast about the ancient Greeks. I started checking out some of the pottery and decided to turn a miniature version of an amphora.

Time for the March #project from Steve at SK Krafts! I made a clock from a piece of maple, with a walnut insert, then textured the front and applied chameleon flakes to the texture.

In this video, I turned a bowl from a piece of red palm. The turning was successful, but the finished product was not. I'm not sure if it was just tension release in the wood, or there was actually a weak spot in the wood, but it did crack in one spot. Overall, tho, I'm happy with how this one came out.

This is the February #project from Steve at SK Krafts. #lovingcup I turned a simple mug shape from a piece of juniper, then applied a couple of different techniques for the design. Laser engraving for the heart and quote; and chameleon flakes gilded over the heart and band. The handles were cut and shaped from a piece of maple in the shape of a heart, and then stained to closely resemble the color of the juniper sap wood.

More color and texture this week. I turned a simple vase from a piece of juniper, added a little carving/texturing, put some blue paint, and some metallic silver paint. Didn't turn out too bad!

Tried a texturing technique, and a different coloring technique for this project. I've seen others do something similar, but haven't seen this specific coloring technique.

The project this week was a #project from Steve at SK Krafts. The # was a natural bowl. No color, no texture, no other embellishments; just a simple bowl. I turned a nice piece of walnut for this #naturalbowl. Check out SK Krafts channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SKKrafts Our videos are for entertainment purposes only.

This week I turned a live edge bowl from a piece of hickory taken from a friend's firewood pile. The wood had been cut recently and was still quite wet; just overnight the piece had warped so much that the bottom of the bowl was no longer flat. I'll have to re-mount it in a few weeks and flatten the bottom. I also recently acquired a Laser Pecker 2. I will be using this from now on to engrave my pieces with my logo. I didn't go into detail, ie a tool review, about the Laser Pecker 2, but did leave the video in real time during the engraving so you can get an idea of the time, which wasn't too long! If enough interest is generated, I may do a longer video about the Laser Pecker 2 itself. Our videos are for entertainment purposes only. Working with any machinery/equipment can be dangerous.

In this video I turned a bowl from some elm that had been cut down in the spring of 2021. I wanted to color it and high light the grain, but I don't have embellishing wax and I didn't want to use paint. I used alcohol dye to color it black, then I mixed some mica powder into some shellac-based sanding sealer, hoping the sanding sealer would help the mica powder flow into the open grain. It worked, and I applied 9 coats of acrylic sealer over the top. Love how the mica powder/sanding sealer worked, now if I could just get some wood that isn't all cracked up!
