Damaged piece of Hazel, coloured textured and hollowed, wood turning, #115

I have had this piece of Hazel in my wood store for several years, and decided it was about time i did something with it.I started by turning it and hollowing it and because the wood was quite bland i then decided to texture it and colour it, giving it what i thought was quite a pleasing finish, i hope you agree. I try to use this woodturning channel as a platform to share ideas, and to demonstrate to other wood workers the steps needed to achieve this. I use many different types of wood in varying combinations, as well as combining this with resins, i tend to use glass cast 50 as i can use this without the need of a pressure pot. For my finishes I use things like Wood dyes spirit based and water based, high gloss wax and Boiled Linseed Oil - Danish oil and hard wax oil. I also like to experiment with differing textures to give my bowls a different feel to them For my actual wood turning i use a galaxy DVR lathe 14 44 which is very versatile, which gives me the ability to turn a 14-inch bowl or spindle length of 44-inchs
