Ash bowl coloured Blue with gold embellished beading

I selected this piece of wood from my wood store and thought it was ideal for my needs, i was quite surprised at the large cracks that opened up once i started turning it, and thought at one point i was going to have to abandon the project. I was glad that i didn't and was very pleased with the finished result

I try to use this woodturning channel as a platform to share ideas, and to demonstrate to other wood workers the steps needed to achieve this.
I use many different types of wood in varying combinations, as well as combining this with resins, i tend to use glass cast 50 as i can use this without the need of a pressure pot.
For my finishes I use things like Wood dyes spirit based and water based, high gloss wax and
Boiled Linseed Oil - Danish oil and hard wax oil. I also like to experiment with differing textures to give my bowls a different feel to them
For my actual wood turning i use a galaxy DVR lathe 14 44 which is very versatile, which gives me the ability to turn a 14-inch bowl or spindle length of 44-inchs
