I'm glad you plugged it in one of your more recent videos (even if it was already in my playlist lol). I do also love the resin ring. Compliments the dots and it'd just be a waste to turn all of the resin outside of the dots away.

  • I've been binging on your videos after discovering your channel a week and a half ago and I just love your talent and creativity. I watch a lot of resin and woodturning videos, and I'm just so drawn to meshing of the organic and inorganic materials with bright colors. Your channel has become my new favorite *by far*! For me, you strike the right balance of knowing when to speak and knowing when to let the focus be on the project, you use *amazingly* vibrant colors that I just really love, you seem so passionate about creating beautiful things, and you are both relaxed but educational as you explain the work. I've never touched a lathe in my life but I thought I had a good understanding of the basics of how to turn, but you've given me so much knowledge! I love to know about the process of making things even if I never experience it myself. Thank you for producing these awesome videos and I can't wait to see what you create next!

  • Copper and turquoise with dark walnut? You could almost have made that bowl for me. My favourite stone, my favourite metal, and one of my favourite woods. Stunning.

  • I was so close!! Congrats Charlene! Gorgeous piece, again, Jim. With those copper pipes at the bottom of the holes, it reminds me of peacock feathers. Maybe that can be your next peacock bowl.

  • This turned out so cool. idea: do this again with multiple diameter pipe to do tricolor circles, using colors to mimic the eye on peacock feathers, with a lighter wood tone base, to keep the turquoise resin more true.

  • Hi Jim this black walnut is beautiful wood it has awesome grains in it. Glad it fitted in your plastic bowl, I like the copper filled with red resin and the turquoise blue for filling the rest of the areas you needed. Jim the polka dot bowl is magnificent and unique well done with all the hard work you did to make it. Congratulations to the winner of the bowl. I pray they like it like I do. Amanda xx
