Robert Sorby chisels were the first tools I bought when I started woodworking, so I've got a bit of a soft spot for them. I love this texturing tool though. And at 70 quid here in Britain, it's not THAT expensive. A simple bowl gouge can set you back almost 50 quid. Maybe it's because I don't have the range of readily available beautiful, exotic woods like you do in Florida that I like physical decoration on wood. Your video where you said that Brazilian pepper trees are considered a weed tree where you are - the British equivalent is the sycamore, which has a plain, pale wood, as is mostly just used to make treen. So I guess maybe I feel like I need something more to add interest and dimension?

That turned into a very nice piece. I understand what you mean about the expense of the texturing tool. What I really admire is that just because you have it you don't look to how you can use it all the time, rather look at a piece and say that would look better with texturing. Also some very simple texturing which many go over the top with and it doesn't enhance the piece. Well done!

Thanks for watching. don't forget your lessons begin with your first approach with a tool to the spinning wood. Don't expect it all to go smooth from day one. Practice gets you there. I am honored you are inspired to take the plunge to this very addictive and wonderful hobby.

The Sorby texture tool might not be a need, but it helps when the piece doesn't have enough interesting factors without that special technique/tool's mark. I think the spiral ring was just the right touch on this piece. I love the bark inclusion and the natural edge base, different though it may be, on this vase. With out the ring it wouldn't have a lot of "eye candy" viewed form an angle without the bark showing. Another resounding success, Al. Beautiful piece my friend.

He likes to marry wood and resin, as well as some rather interesting bobbled, in some ways that seem strange, but it almost always works out to a beautiful piece. Robbie "The Blind Woodturner" is really great to watch as well. I am totally amazed at some of the items he turns as a blind person. I've learned a lot from watching him as well. Another I've learned a lot from in the past is Captain Eddie Castelin. He had a stroke a couple of years ago now, but has some great tutorials in his video library. He is making a slow come back, but he's getting there. Hope you find some value in these channel recommendations.

I am looking into buying my first wood lathe its an Atlas and looks exactly like the one you have. Not only are you great at turning but you you do an awesome job of explaining what's next, and how to correct and save if something goes wrong. You have a wonderful imagination on getting the best out of what you are working with and improvising. Just listening to you explain what you are doing makes me believe that you are probably one HECK of a story teller I bet children of all ages love to hear you read to them as much as us adult children love watching your videos.
