Turning incredible bowls with a colourful finish - by Emma Cook.

Welcome back! Emma Cook ( @TheTinyTurner ) graces us once again with a very special project. Bowls are classic pieces crafted by a woodturner, but today it will be special.
In this video, Emma turns a deep bowl. The upper rim becomes the focal point. There's carving, gluing, and of course, chameleon pigments are used for the final touch of color. But see for yourself!

Our tools an colours:

Hi all! Just wanted to pop in and say a couple of things.

Firstly, a big THANK YOU to the KS team for filming and editing this fab video. You’ve done a great job!! 🌟💜 I’m only a guest demonstrator for them so all I did was the turning bit (the easy part!) 😆

Secondly, there have been a lot of comments mentioning the height of the lathe which I would like to address.

I appreciate everyone’s concerns, but I have been turning for over 20 years on lathes this high and my turning technique has developed to enable me to be comfortable turning at this height.

I NEVER stand on platforms because PERSONALLY I find them a hazard. I find they are either a tripping hazard, or something you can easily step/stumble off by accident and hurt yourself. I therefore find them far more dangerous than turning at the height I’m turning at.

So there you go 😉 I appreciate your concern but I’m totally used to it and happy with it 👍🏻

Also, I know I said centimetres but I did mean millimetres. I usually work in imperial and when I go to metric I often confuse myself 🤪🤪

This is beautiful, and also so much better than the endless number of people turning yet another three pound hunk of resin.

Emma, your instruction is very clear and your turning technique clean. I enjoyed watching you work and look forward to applying your methods. Thank you for taking the time.

THE best wood turning/woodworking videos I have ever seen. You explain everything very clearly, what you are doing and why. I absolutely love the bowl! Great job!!!

This is why I bought your chameleon flakes back in October when I met you. Looks fab, ive yet to use them though !!

Legendary amount of control demonstrated here!

Fantastic! I watched this entire video and I am not a turner! Saw that bowl and had to see who made it and how they made it! Gorgeous piece! Wonderful techniques and skill! Thank you! Love the jaunty, upbeat music too!

[LondonCadance]

my goodness, your instruction is marvelous! this is going to help me so much! I really appreciate all the little things, like how many bevels and why, and reminders to cut the grooves before switching, and why that's important. I appreciate it immensely.

I once was the moderator for the online section of the magazine Getwoodworking, and I remember a lot of turner's wanting videos of products just like these, not overly technical but a wonderful end product, good sellers too. Well done.

Very very nice, I love the detail information you put out as you are doing things. You have a new subscriber.

[leonardhurst]

Very well demonstrated Emma, A staight forward approach to wood crafting.You make it look so easy (a sure sign of lots of dedication and practice)

[mdaley]

Very nice, I like the colors and how well they work with the walnut. I was holding my breath when you started carving because I was worried the chisel would slip and go beyond the v groove. You’re very talented

[jeneiferthomas]

I’ve never grasped so much technice before. Thanks for sharing.

Thank You for such a fine video! This is the best instructional video for bowl 14:18 turning I have ever watched.

[MyGrowthRings]

Beautiful vessel, Emma. Those flakes really make the light dance, don't they?

[jerrystark]

Excellent video. I just subscribed to your channel based on this video. Your skill, your ability to communicate, and the beauty of the project convinced me to subscribe.
And, as a retired teacher, I want to pay you a compliment: You are a very good teacher! Thank you.
