Texturing and coloring a small ash bowl

[Stewart Furini]

This is a video of how I made the ash bowl I've just posted in the gallery. It combines a number of techniques: using a small angle grinder to create texture; mixing acrylic paint with Kleister medium to make it semi-transparent; colouring with stains; and finishing with lacquer. I hope it's of interest.

Watched the whole video. Nice piece of wood and a great way to embellish it. Would love to see the inside after finishing. I just got an air brush compressor and eager to learn some techniques for turning. Cheers.

Very nice embellishment, enjoyed the video.

I like the texturing, did you do it before or after applying the color?

Thank you, John. I'll see if I can post some more pictures. The inside curve isn't quite right yet, but the small split on the rim persuaded me to do this as a practice piece.

Cheers, Gary - the texturing was done before the coloring.

Interesting texture. Enjoyed the video. Would like a bit more detail on your texturing technique (I'm a new turner).

Stewart! Thanks, your texturing video is great.
I'll be doing some experimenting soon... my Dremel 4000 arrived this morning.
