- For this week'a wood turning project I hark back to ancient times and turn a shield from sycamore and embellish it with Modern Masters Reactive Paints - you know, the ones that tarnish.
It was nice to get back to some artistic wood turning to make this piece on the lathe.

WOW that is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!! Great Job Martin
As before, I truly admire your work and artistic eye. This is not my "cup-o-tea" but I do like the craftsmanship that went into making it. BZ
Stunning piece, you have an excellent eye sir.
Thanks Martin, really enjoyed that, turned out lovely.
Have a great christmas xxxx
Martin, great result with this piece, not sure that the camera focus is as good in the new workshop as the old one. Struggle to see the lathe work and you come in and out of focus a bit, but early days and I'm sure that it'll bed itself in - I certainly enjoy your work.
Very nice. It turned out beautifully. Merry Christmas.
Stunning, just stunning.
Thanks Martin. Really nice. Watched Sam Angelo (Wyomingwoodturner) using reactive paints to good effect as well. Thanks for sharing.
Bit of an interesting project.Merry Christmas to you and yours Martin.
nice one Martin. love it
Very nice! I love it.
Thanks
James
Another beautiful piece Martin. Well done! Merry Christmas mate.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing,
Jim
Amazing turning. The use of the metal paint along with the tarnish spray is something I have not seen before. Great job on this piece.
I think you have captured the feel of an antique shield very well. Its very nice.
thanks
James
Fascinating, I've just seen an ancient relic made on the lathe. Well done.
I love the shield Martin. Those paints are amazing. showed my hubby & hedidn't believe it was wood.
That turned out utterly fantastic brother. Great job my friend, as always.
Absolutely beautiful Martin!! Thanks so much for taking the time to walk through the steps. Can't wait to give this a go! Take care.
i so like this piece thank you for sharing
Thanks Martin. I thought about making a shield a couple weeks ago, but never would have thought of using oxidizing paints. Great idea, and the end result is spot on. It looks real with the effect of the paints, great job! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
Absolutely gorgeous, once again Martin.
Great video mate.
Cheers
Mike
Glad I left it until today to watch it - thanks for the mention, it was good catching up. Yet ANOTHER thing for me to check out - I'll be busy until I retire... and after! Good job mate! :D
came out really nicely! the colors are spectacular....
someone gifted me one of those spiraling tools and i've been kinda unhappy with how turns out....I think i may be running it TOO fast.....will need to fiddle with it some more I think.....
Excellent!!
Awesome once more.
You are a very lucky guy as you get to do a job you love
I do like the shield didn't think I would but it got better with time
I have promised myself I'm going to have a go at turning on day only done it with steel in my job
Very creative piece...love the texturing and the colors!
Martin all i can say is O.M.G...
Nice video, Martin.
The shell looks great, it has antiques.
Where metals need years, you have done within 2 days. :-D :-D
Martin! Woa!! Beautiful piece.. demonstration.. Profesional! video with music.. All the Best.. Happy New Year Full of Power and Creativity..
Very cool
amazing
nice one
Why shouldn't you go creatively mad, it's Christmas. Got to say I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Right from when you turned the shape of the front was excellent. I was worried what you were going to do to it. Glad you held back with the texturing as I think that is just about perfect. As a finished arty piece I think it's absolutely perfect. You could imagine this being found at some archaeological site. As a wood turned piece I don't like it, but that's because I like to see wood, so if I don't think of it as wood working then spot on. Hopefully that makes sense. Well done, one of your best videos. Have a great Christmas and a prosperous, healthy Happy New Year.
Looks cool.
awesome piece of art, sir. keep it up and take care. oh and merry christmas :)
Absolutely stunning, definitely going to invest in a texturing tool, have been unsure about one until now.
You mentioned the metallic paints were from modern masters, is it a specific type as a google search heeded numerous different results.
Thanks for the great content as always.
All the best.
Adam
I am in the UK so that makes things easier, thanks for the advice.
Adam
That is awesome work....if only I could find something like this while metal detecting!!…
A good insight of using paints on wood..1 question, would you get the same results on most light woods??
Another thoroughly enjoyable video Martin, cheers 👍🏼😊
WOW!!!!!!
How do you dream up these ideas Martin? That looks amazing 😎
Hi Martin, can anything be applied over it to seal it.
Excellent. I am from Greece and we don’t have here a special store for woodworkers. Can you propose me a web store to purchase beautiful colors like this you use to your video?
Hi John. I'm not sure where you would be able to buy these paints in Greece. You could try www.annikas.gr though. He may have some way of getting for you.
Omg!
Hi Martin , I love watching your videos, two ?is your finish available in the USA?I have use of only my right hand could I use a Sorby texturing tool with one hand?
Did you sand or put a finish on the shield afterwards?
Sorry Martin, but I do not like this. It is only my opinion and it would not be right if we all loved the same things, but as I said I do not like it. I did however like the texturing of the piece. All the best to you and your family for 2017 and I look forward to many more turnings that I will like.
