Hi all
A more detailed and longer video about applying spirit stain and building up a finish on a beech 12 x 2 inch blank. Comments welcome!

Really like the colours on that one!

Thanks for the time and effort put into that tutorial.
So well presented that it is easy to forget the high standard of turning that underlies the project and the care and attention needed in handling the colouring aspects and the wealth of background work needed to finish up the session.

Thanks T and Chas
I was worried that a longer video might lose people's interest....since posting videos on Youtube I've discovered an Analytics section that shows how long people watch each video for...it's rarely for the whole video! But I thought it might be good to give some explanation of how/why the colour is added and how it builds up from a rather pale start to something so vibrant.
Thanks, too, Chas for your comment about the quality of the turning - much appreciated!
I've got the first weekend of the Brighton Artists Open Houses today - bags packed and ready to go and set up my display and sell everything!! He hopes...
