Woodturning a Bowl, Pinecones with Epoxy Resin

well I'd dug into the firewood pile again as you can see I didn't pick out the very best piece I like to think there's potential on all these old rotten chunks of wood so I took my chainsaw sliced off a chunk so it would fit in that little mold and eventually I find a way to fit those pine cones in there and then it was all about mixing up some resin I just used a couple of different color blues there... sea blue and sky blue added some pearl and it took about five of those cups to fill up this mold once I had it all set up I taped it all down and stuck it in the pressure pot for 24 hours I had charged that pot to about 50 pounds of pressure and it dropped to just over 40 overnight I had the fire going in my shop it was still kind of chilly in there and that resin had that came off in those big long shavings as it coated my arm it felt pretty good it was nice and warm you can see all the tear out on the end grain there maybe I could have set that wood up better inside that mold here I'm drilling a hole for the wormscrew just taking my chainsaw to it to make it flush and all I was doing here was I just reversed mounted it and put it on the worm screw in order to cut the mortise onto the bottom side kind of an extra unnecessary step but nonetheless I did it it worked sorry about the distortion in the background hit the sound is just a fan that I had turned on to blow the resin away from my face causing some disturbance on the microphone on the camera well it's time once again to take a look at what some of you very talented people in the audience have been doing Gerald Moore made this beautiful salad bowl set out of walnut and ash and then made this amazing piece of art out of pecan just beautiful Brett O'Keefe has been busy bottle stoppers and bowls... I like this square Bowl especially that grain is so beautiful good job Brett Bruce Jordan from Jordan Woodwerx and Robert Dedinsky of Cross Cut Creations sent me stickers I sent some back hopefully you got them by now both of them have YouTube channels that you might want to check out I want to take this time once again to just give a special thank you to all of you that have subscribed to my channel you know I sign on to check my comments and respond and the numbers just keep on growing and growing... it just blows me away it's very humbling I really appreciate everybody's interest thank you so much so eventually in hollowing this bowl out I decided to go with the square nose scraper and just kind of take it out a little bit at a time that way seemed to work out pretty good of course I went back in with a bowl gouge to clean it up first across the bottom and then up the sides and getting towards the end of the process here I decided to reshape the bottom of the bowl a little bit kind of round it out to match the top it was about 8:30-9 o'clock at night time to go in and I wasn't done so I decided to soak that wood with a nice heavy coat of shellac because it was kind of soft kind of punky as usual and then this is the next morning before I took the negative rake scraper to it I had to repair a couple of cracks that had formed and what I did was I took five minute epoxy and mixing pearl into it and filled the cracks with that really thin cracks and I'm really happy with the results of that so it gave the whole bowl a thick coat of shellac and I let that dry let that wood soak it all up again and then I hit the whole thing with some OB shine juice courtesy Cap'n Eddie Castelin's recipe well those pine cones just pop I'm real happy with the pearl pattern inside the different blues turned out real nice here I'm hitting it with that shine juice a couple of coats of that and then I hit it with some carnauba wax and a buffing wheel which unfortunately I didn't record but this is right after the shin juice was applied and before I hit it with the carnauba wax and buffing wheel so it's a little bit streaky but all that streaking this goes away as you can see here you can see those real fine white lines those are completely solid but that's where the cracks had formed I love the way that looks it's a very wintery looking bowl have I mentioned how much I love the winter y'all stick around and watch these stills there's a couple of surprises it glows thanks for watching Semper Fi
