Woodturning a Flashy Sapele Bowl
Ойын-сауық
Sapele never disappoints but sometimes it has a WOW factor. So much flash!
Topped with a 48 segment ring of figured maple separated by mahogany veneer, this a bowl with a lot going on... movement and flash in the grain.
Thanks so much for tuning in! I know it's been a while. It was a required break to allow for some healing. Torn tendons, 99% better now.
Special thanks to all of you that reached out to me in my absence!!! I really appreciate the outpouring of concern and well wishes. I have the best subscribers on KZread! Thank you.

The maple over sapele is beautiful. You did an excellent job with it as well. Welcome back to the tubes. I’m excited to see what you have coming down the pike.

Thank you very much, Ben, and absolutely. I'm often without the proper words to express my gratitude.
Ouch, torn tendons are the pits! PLEASE let everything heal completely, and don’t push yourself too hard. I can tell you from experience that trying to rush healing is a BIG mistake! I love your videos, both the woodworking and the carvings. Your property has so much character!

Good afternoon, my friend. I was just watching a few woodturning videos when yours poped up. Hey, I don't remember seeing this one. R Humphrey Woodworking, it is always good to follow along with your creations. I shared your excitement waiting for the flash. The addition of the figured maple with accents really made the whole bowl pop. Excellent! I appreciate you in many ways. Sharing scripture being one.
