Should I gild the hole, the inside of the plant pot , both or neither of them? This won't make much sense till you've seen the video.
Woods used are in the woodturning :
Ebony
Macacauba
Beech
Walnut
Bog Oak
The Pewter bird legs I bought from:
www.snowdoniasupplies.co.uk/b...
Painted the pewter in gesso (primer) and painted with acrylic Burnt Sienna paint.
Join me in this woodworking adventure as I tackle the first time turning challenge of making a bird out of wood, a robin. In this video, I delve into the new woods.
Witness the magic of woodturning as I craft intricate designs, revealing the hidden beauty within these stunning woods.
Learn valuable techniques and tips for working with these interesting and somewhat challenging woods, ensuring a successful and satisfying woodworking experience.

These are fun! Leave them without the gilding, in my opinion.

Pretty little things me thinks! Thats 2 for no gilding 👍👍👍

They both look beautiful, I really can't make up my mind about to gild them, maybe it would make them look less natural, if you know what I mean 🤔

I have just watched the making of the Robin, it’s impressive as normal, again you make it look easy. To think the Robin starts with 3 separate pieces of wood. There is so much detail and so much craftsmanship. I often wonder how you get these ideas. Do you suddenly get an image in your head and just safe it? I often watch the Robins in the wild but could never do a painting or any artwork as I can’t picture them in my mind, that would be aphantasia which I have. You have a gift and I am glad you use it. Look forward to your next piece. Well done mate.

Thank you my good sir 👍 ALOT of the ideas come from the wood! That Macacauba I was lucky enough to get some off, reminded me of the colour of a robins chest, and the idea is born! Mull it over a bit, maybe sketch it on a scrap bit of paper and start it when next convenient! I’ve got a wonderful idea of a female and a male turned humanoid sculpture, I’ve got the wood, the strong idea, but need to finished some other works that are currently in progress before I can start them 😔

Those Robins are gonna be a rockin around the Christmas tree, they are astounding and the settings are just so perfect for them, I would say au naturel for the hole but I can just see the inside of the pot gilded and glowing. Amazing! 🤩 either one will just look right at home on my shelf nudge nudge, etc.

Every one of your videos I think to myself "OH NO don't gild that beautiful wood!" But after I see the final project complete with the gilding it's clear that it was the right move. So gild away.

@WoodWithD 6 ай бұрын

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you! Alas I think the no gilding is winning out! Though there is support for the plant pot inner to be gilded 😁 so that may still get enough votes 😁 🎅🏽

Love these cracking little birds, so well thought out. No gild on the log one and definitely gild champagne gold on the pot. Another project absolutely spot on.

Beautiful, and I really enjoyed watching the method of creation, very interesting. As for the gilding, I'm not sure, thinking about it I would say no, leave them natural, they are distinctive enough as they are

@michaelcarvell2482 6 ай бұрын

I’d say unguilded by hey are stunning as is. If guiding was something needed maybe half the back of the “pot” on the second piece shown to bounce some light and still keep the plain wood more visible. Or an interesting pattern inside the pot. Not sure how would do that. Maybe using the cutting tape they use on car wrap so then could feel off after and crease crisp lines after guilding. But still thing plain is best in this occasion. Superb work
