Woodturning - Metal, Oak and Resin Bowl

I add a little metal work to my turning this week. I use aluminum shavings in resin to make a pretty cool design. Mixing that with a beautiful oak from a tree cut down in Greenville South Carolina I make a one of a kind bowl.

That turned out awesome Ken. The metal really complements the resin and highlights the bowl. Very cool piece.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you Mark

[@CFGossettAbbasHealingArts]

That is a beautiful bowl. I realize there's a lot that goes into making it but the end result is stunning! Great job!!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you

[@TotalBoat]

LOVE the effect of the aluminum in the resin! And really digging your Funyuns shelf 😉

[@MoonpieCreations]

Best shelf ever!!!!

[@bretteee]

Not for me but I can see the quality of your work, it's plainly obvious you are a top notch craftsman. Please don't think I'm critical of your work because I most certainly am not. It wouldn't be such a lovely form of art if we all liked the same thing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills with us. ,😊

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you

[@oliverklosov5153]

I could listen to sped up stirring and hammering all day

[@MoonpieCreations]

Me Too!!!

[@billc.6381]

So…since you didn’t play the NSFW music I googled it to play……now I have some real explaining to give my wife 😂. Awesome segmented bowl! Loved the random resin segments.

[@MoonpieCreations]

😂😂😂 you gotta be careful when googling it.

[@thefreemathtutor]

Really cool. I have a fondness for oak - its grain has its own unique look. And the color combo of the red, the oak and the metal really works!

[@MoonpieCreations]

I am pretty impressed with this oak. It has beautiful figure and flecking in it.

[@troythetinkerer]

Kinda Damascus looking. BEAUTIFUL.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Great description. Thanks

[@karendale7297]

Good grief! How cool. It almost looks like a wicker basket. Beautiful!

[@MoonpieCreations]

That's a pretty neat description. I can see it now.

[@stevewhite8161]

Ken, that is BEAUTIFUL. I think one of the very best you've done. Way to go.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you Steve. I wasn't to happy with it. Need to fix my table saw. There were gaps.

[@normagene514]

At first I was huh…. Metal in resin… but the finished bowl looks great. Very clever idea. 👍

[@octaviaria8081]

Really like this bowl. There seems to be this prevalence in woodworking to use blue or purple tones that do nothing to enhance the wood tones. While this red is simply smashing !! And the sparkle enhances it even more ...well done !! Cheers!!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you. I think that blue and purple really resonates on screen for a good visual. And there are a lot of people that like the color purple. I have found a yellow or green bowl has a harder time selling.

[@steveschulkin8335]

Ken with the aluminum shaving,, and the red resin color, some parts almost make a Rose pattern. ❤

[@trumpetbob15]

Wow! The wood grain at the bottom of the bowl (at the 12:12 point) that almost makes it like an optical illusion. Just amazing!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Yeah, it looks a lot like a spiral.

[@PohlBarnProductions]

Pretty cool Ken, I do believe I have a bag of those chips also, thumbs up as always !

[@MoonpieCreations]

They make some cool designs. I like the vase I did better though.

[@debraking7412]

That is one gorgeous bowl. Well done.

[@MoonpieCreations]

thank you

[@eileenjackson7909]

I love this bowl. I especially love the silver with the red resin. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@jerryffvt3722]

I really enjoyed the basket-weave look of the oak and in putting it together as pieces instead of just cutting out rings. Nicely done! I bet the aluminium was a bit hard on your gouges!

[@NehpetsNosliw]

I was so waiting for the 'music' when you poured the red on the metal shavings. Gorgeous bowl!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Sorry, I like to take it off every now and again. Thank you for the kind words.

[@iamwad2216]

I am not an oak fan, but when you expose the quartersawn face on some of the blocks, it is gorgeous!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you.

[@williamellis8993]

Beautiful bowl, Ken. The randomness of the resin segments was a great touch.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks Bill

[@1954JDR]

That is an absolutely beautiful segmented bowl. Great work.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you James. Need to tighten up the segments.

[@dalekuhlman1009]

That was a great project. I especially like the aluminum in the resin and the segmented bottom, nice touch.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks Dale

[@jnol9009]

Very cool bowl Ken! Thx and take care.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks

[@michaelross8794]

Those colors are FANTASTIC!!!!

[@drferry]

Great job! I love it when someone adds new stuff to the general knowledge base of turning.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you. Me too.

OMG 😲.....this bowl is absolutely gorgeous!

[@avinashramroop1817]

This is cool, it's giving me medeival kind of vibes with pattern of the aluminium shavings and the resin.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Awesome description. Thanks.

[@mdaley3102]

Wow, that’s cool. The aluminum is awesome and I like the pieces of it mixed in with the wood rings.

Thank you Michael

[@alangibb3100]

Wow that turned out really smart the blood red, it really stands out well done

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you Alan

[@wendyhenschel.]

Lol, i just noticed the shelf full of Funyuns. Love them chips. Enjoy them. I enjoyed the red bowl. As always beautiful work!

[@MoonpieCreations]

The Shelf of Funyuns was a dream from my last video. 😂

[@walshjp17]

Nice bowl. The pain turning resin infused metal notwithstanding, the leftovers would make really spectacular pen blanks.

[@MoonpieCreations]

I have a total of 5 ft left lol.

[@micah06v8]

That's gorgeous. I'd love to see these aluminum pieces in a sapphire blue resin. Maybe on something like zebrawood!

[@MoonpieCreations]

I did another one with aluminum. Have you seen it? czcams.com/video/bz7oZxMFPIE/video.html

[@mikebass823]

Lot a work for a really nice bowl. Good job.
👍👍👍👍👍👍😎

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you

[@ctfddftba]

I’d love to see a project using the aluminum shavings and a soft lilac/periwinkle (to look like wisteria) or medium pink (to look like cherry blossoms)

[@MoonpieCreations]

That would be a cool looking project.

[@scottbeilsmith4261]

Very nice looking. Love the aluminum in resin. Great job Ken 👍.

Aluminum yes?
2.7 hardness. Could gauge future metal projects by hardness. I’m sure the softer the better for turning.
Btw ❤ the “new” vid stuff you’re doing.

[@MoonpieCreations]

I'm trying to mix it up with a bunch of different projects....well if I can find time that is.

YES!!! Return to form 🙌 I generally dislike segment bowls but that is epic. I particularly like the way there is no real layout of the red sections. Awesome.

Looking good

[@carlosalvarez9521]

you teach me something new to me today on this video, and give me some good ideas, always been concern about to much resin wasted making a bowl but with the sectional ( I didn't know that you can do it to) is another thing, thank you so much. I missed the sexy song in the pouring!!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks Carlos. I try not to waste resin. But sometimes it just doesn't work lol.

Very, very nice! Love the red resin and metal.

I follow your channel and am always amazed at your final product. You seem like a cool dude so the minimal talking you do over the video is enjoyable and definitely not excessive. This morning I only had time for a short Video and the length of this one fit my timeframe. Keep up the awesome work

[@MoonpieCreations]

I appreciate that. I think I'm cool, but don't ask my kids. 😂😂

[@DavidMartin-pl8mj]

delta makes a great blade stabilizer used one for years same problem when making cabinets loooks great

[@MoonpieCreations]

I think the issue is the arbor. As I crank the blade up it wobbles. I do not think the blade is straight to the table. Just a hair off.

[@DavidMartin-pl8mj]

@@MoonpieCreations the big washer I got for my saws got one for chop saw also. It takes the vibration out of the thin blades. I love a good thing blade wit fine cut.
