Thanks Joel, I find turning therapeutic. After leaving the military in 2012 I could of got a big paying job here with a local company but deep in my heart I knew that I wanted to be a professional turner. Moneys not everything! I’m in my own world doing my own thing with nobody telling me what to do! The wife still controls me tho, lol. Stay safe!

What a fresh looking bowl.

I wasn't sure how this was going to look given the state of the piece before it was filled. Pretty darned spectacular change and a wonderful contrast between the branches, soapstone, and the bark. So pretty, and I love the way the piece has an asymmetrical, organic balance. Very well done!

I'm fairly new to your channel and have enjoyed all the videos I watched immensely! This one fascinated me! Really cool ideas. I've worked with soap stone in the past but never as an inlay. Great job. One word of caution about steel wool. When I was a youngster, I used it to clean white wall tires (yes I'm that old to remember them!) and got a splinter in my thumb. It got infected and I landed up losing the tip of my thumb--almost lost it to the first knuckle. Moral of the story is if you use steel wool WEAR GLOVES! Looking forward to binge watching your videos!
