Hiding in plain sight! Can this be clear-coated to preserve the color, or will it fade again over time, with no prospect to retain the purple (semi) permanently?
@MerschWerksАй бұрын
Unfortunately, UV light will make it turn back to brown over time. A good clear finish with a UV protection could help that slow that process a bit.

Very nice bowl. I like how you do that color on the outside. Gives it character
@MerschWerksАй бұрын
Indeed! I enjoy adding some color to these projects without sacrificing the natural grain pattern.

@MerschWerks2 ай бұрын
Thanks! I have typically been using Rit dye on my projects. This particular shade of blue is aquamarine.

What an awesome generational toy. This is the kind of item I could see moving from generation to generation (as the tonka dump trucks did in my family). 2nd time I have tripped over your channel and finally subscribed. Love to see wood turning, although I am far more likely to be found in front of a metal lathe. If I may make a suggestion, you are an obvious craftsman, do more wide audience wood working along with your excellent turning videos. Not everyone has a lathe, or your skillset when it comes to turning. You might find your audience grows greatly with a little broader scope. For me, I love the wood turning, something I have just never been that good at, so I love to watch master work.

Thanks for the subscription and the compliments! I have a handful of projects lined up and there are several non-turning related ideas coming soon. I really appreciate the feedback, thanks!

That was a surprise. I couldn’t see where it was going. Very nicely made sir. Where did these originate from?
@MerschWerks2 ай бұрын
Thank you! These originated in France and are typically not made from wood. I wanted to test making one, and after a week, I'm not super pleased with the results... Maple may be too porous for this... Perhaps these should just be made from ceramic, lol.

For this video I wanted to try out building a prototype slim ring box. I went through a few changes throughout the project. The original staining idea just didn't look right until I sanded it down to have the weathered look to it. Don't forget to Subscribe for more weekly videos!
