Woodturning | The Jade Brick Bowl

Hello, friends!

_____________________________________

After how much everyone enjoyed my first brick bowl, I just had to try another. This time, I set the bricks running around the circumference of the bowl by gluing them to a wooden core before pouring in the green epoxy resin. Had a bit of a nerve-wracking moment when I began mixing the resin, as you'll see in the video. Normally, you can expect your hardener to have a slight yellow tint to it as it ages, but this was REALLY yellow. I had not no idea whether it was going to cure or just ruin all the hard work I'd already put into making the blank. It all ended well, though! After turning it down, I finished the piece with Waterlox's original gloss. What do you think?

This is honestly one of the coolest concepts for a bowl design that I've ever seen.

[shoryuken]

The bowl is pure eye candy, as if the bricks floats by ancient magic. 10/10🤌

[kimberlynalda]

Not only is the one of the most gorgeous bowls that I have ever seen, THANK YOU for not playing loud an annoying and distracting music while doing it. This is a work of art and the video well produced. Well done!

I've been going down the woodturning rabbithole recently and this the best video production I've come across. The way you clearly present each step in the process and then move on really breaks up the monotony woodturning videos can suffer from. Thank you for sharing your work.

Appreciate all the different camera angles! Stuff like this helps me sleep, I mean this in the best way possible. We’ve heard of easy listening, I call this easy watching; no chatter, just wood working, epoxy pouring vibes. Love it.

Send you back to the medieval days with your skills and those materials and you would be creating Entire Cathedrals. *Fantastic craftsmanship*

[danielrivard]

love the 3D effect, beautiful result.

[radamus]

Man, I see a lot of turning stuff on YT, and beauty is all in the eye of the beholder, but once in a while one will stand out, and this one hits me that way. Nice.

49 years old. Wish I'd learned this. I watch all kinds of woodturning and epoxy videos and am always AMAZED at how super talented everyone is. Once again I've come across beautiful work.

[jedaaa]

I've binged hundreds of wood/resin videos this year and I can confidently say this is one of my favourites!
Simple and elegant.
Lovely job mate.

[MEGAMIGA]

The 3D effect is stunning! Great work!

[icemanespoo]

That is one of the coolest woodwork projects I have ever seen. Love the floating element.

[amandamcmurray]

I can’t tell you how much I love this, it’s absolutely beautiful. Wish it was available to purchase

[eileenjackson]

Wow, what a beautiful bowl. I especially liked the way you assembled it. It was a pleasant surprise. Great work.

[stanmc]

Your project is one of the best reasons I’ve seen lately to start getting into resin! Cool project!!!

[rheverend]

Has to be one of my all-time favorite pieces on YouTube. I want one!

[udorechner]

Very beautiful bowl! The "floating" woodpieces looks awesome.

[xxhellspawnedxx]

The exploded 3d look is quite unique and eyecatching! Kudos!

[karlsangree]

I'm not normally a big fan of mixed media/segmented bowls but dude... that bowl is spectacular!

[pbelle]

I have never seen a bowl done like this before. It looks absolutely amazing! Great design!
