Woodturning - Spalted Cherry Fire Vase - #ytccc2021

what's going on guys welcome back to the shop so in last week's video at the end i had announced that i was invited to participate in a monthly cross channel challenge well this video is our first attempt at what will be a succession of videos throughout the year of 2021 this month's challenge is a fire theme so let's see what we can come up with let's take a look at what we're working with all right moving on over to the lathe i got us a nice piece of spalted cherry with some pretty cool crotch figuring um had to cut the the knob of the branch off here but you can see we got some cool crotch figurine coming in might even get a little bit of curling out of that who knows uh on the downside we do have this breakaway so we're gonna have to get into her pretty deeply to get this rounded out um i'm not entirely sure how i'm going to integrate the fire theme into this thing but uh we'll get there when we get there i got a couple ideas a couple tricks up my sleeve but as you can see here there's some pretty cool spalting in there and it looks like we're gonna get some nice color out of this piece as well so uh yeah first things first i'm just gonna get this guy rounded out it's looking to be a little wet so we might have to deal with that as well take that as it comes right all right guys we're just going to get started here by getting this guy rounded out nice and do some shaping on the back side while we're at it it's pretty out of balance so is a little wobbly but uh yeah no worries let's make some chips [Music] contact [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Applause] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so so [Music] do [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right so i got most of the carving done here i might do a little bit of touch-up as we go but uh now for the fun part [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right we'll let that cool down and move on to the next step all right guys so we got a little bit of resin mixed up here a little shooter i'm just gonna brush this on heat it up and uh get that into this charcoal here to stabilize it and that way we can start sanding back just a nice thin coat all right guys so i got some resin mixed up here using uh this tangerine mica powder in conjunction with some art resin neon orange resin tint i'm gonna be using this to put down a base layer of color onto our charcoal and probably gonna be putting on a couple layers just to get some different tones in there i'm shooting for the effect that this thing is actually still hot so we'll see how that works out just gonna brush this in nice and thin i do have a pretty high concentration of mica powders in here so that the color translates pretty well [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] bye [Music] [Music] all right guys so i got a couple colors mixed up here um got the rotisserie set up there's quite a bit of weight in this piece yet so i have the tail stock set up just as a little support i have no idea how this is gonna turn out but it seems like a brilliant idea when i was cooking it up now i am a little bit more nervous but uh i've never done anything quite like this before with the rotisserie so i'm gonna start by either painting or dripping in some small layers and just see how it hangs and hope that it doesn't all fall off on the bottom side so uh this will be one of those big fingers cross moments see how it goes [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right guys well today is the next our resin is all cured up and i think we're going to call this a victory i got some really neat flows in there some good color variation i wanted a gradient from the dark reds to the lighter yellows to the end and although it was quite a mess it worked out pretty well so we're gonna move on forward getting this cut back uh back down to the wood and we'll go from there [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] got there [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] foreign [Music] [Applause] all right guys so we're haul it out got the inside sanded to a 220 i got as much as i could inside there pretty tricky to get after any kind of fine detail inside there with the like the stick method but uh moving forward i'm gonna get this steady rest out of the way we're gonna do our finished sanding get a coat of uh sanding sealer on here and then we'll set up for our finisher liking it so far you guys can tell the light coming through and these flames are pretty neat [Music] so so [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] so [Applause] [Music] so [Applause] [Music] i'm not nervous you're nervous [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] hey guys this one is finally done let's go check it out all right well here it is this is the first submission to the youtube cross channel challenge this being the fire themed challenge and i'm pretty happy with the way this came out um we got some pretty cool effects going on uh in here in the charcoal uh carving i really like how we were able to burn this section out uh after getting that crack developed so uh yeah i hope you guys like this one as much as i do and keep an eye out these will be coming monthly i have no idea what the next challenge will be but that leads us on to the next subject i will leave slow rollers of this guy at the end so you can check it out in further detail but man uh we got some
