Woodturning - Did I make the right resin colour choice for this vase?
Woodturning a stunning hybrid vase out mallee burl wood and epoxy resin. I went with a rather extreme colours (at least for me) and tried a new colour with some great pink metallic effects. Once it was shaped on my woodturning lathe some textured was made on the outside then hours of sanding could begin and eventually sprayed it with several layers of clear gloss lacquer.

The color is fine. However personal preference would be something more translucent/transparent. The mallee burl has so much texture it seems a shame to hide it.
David, I cannot tell you how much I love that vase and the color is gorgeous!!!! Love the grooves in it too!
I think.it.turned.out. FINE.🤯🤯🤯
Yes you did pick the right colour - its a perfect colour for such a beautiful vase with amazing turning too!
I love the design and the color of the resin definitely compliments the burl, it's beautiful
Another beautiful piece David! 👍🏻Thank you for sharing your work!
Wow, a lot of sanding! And the color is lovely. I would love to see it used again.
Absolutely stunning vase!
Wow, how beautiful as always though. Thanks for sharing.😊💗
Great vase. I like the color. Purple seems to be a great color in resin as long as it's a bit on the subtle side. I'm one who likes faded more subtle shades of different colors.
I love the vase! It's beautiful and unique!
Просто шикарно 😯☺️😊😉👌👏👏👏, мастер своего дела
Beautiful color! I think it's stunning myself! 😊
Beautiful color!
I like the color; it's very subtle. I can actually see this in my home. As much as I appreciate the bolder colors used in many of the woodworking/resin channels, I rarely envision the pieces working with my decor.
Definitely! It turned out beautifully 👌🏽
That color is gorgeous! Great job!!
♥️♥️♥️I love that color!!
The vase turned out great. I like more transparent resins so you can see the wood inside.
Beautiful David.
Have A Good Week My Friend👍👍
Very nice Another great design.
That is a good color choice. It works well with the burl which darkened slightly with the spray lacquer.
Thanks 👍 The colour is great.
А Вы с какой планеты? 😂😊 такие фантазии у Вас...все глаза радует
Yes, I like it and it’s different pal. Good catch btw 😅.
stunning!
Beautiful flavor
I love it!
it's beautiful.
I love it.
Nice job! :)))
Color is fine. If you were to have added Hypershift to the resin it would have improved the color.
Красиво! 👍👍👍
I think turquoise might’ve had a better contrast/pop for the burl
what do you spray on for the finish?
Yes
Beautiful color, would have preferred less ridges tho.
oh yes :D
Think blue would have been better !!!
Im in(nz) whr..? Ar u? Thx. Mate❤😊
What is the name of the chemical used in wood turning?
Colour choice like music is highly personal, it can severely limit the participating audience. Example: Caroline van der Leeuw used to perform as Caro Emerald in the tradition of Swing to much acclaim; she is now performing as "The Jordan" with a more melancholic modern style, the affects of which is reduced recognition and sales. The colour you have chosen is quite mute, it is probably less likely to offend the majority, but for a few their preference is for something bolder, and eye-catching; I've always been drawn to fire colours (white heat, through yellows, oranges, and through to Crimson reds) whilst there is an attraction towards iridescent greens and blues when telling physical stories of Orb shaped landscapes.
A gorgeous piece but not with all those grooves, perhaps 2 around the neck with a space in between....
I like the color but not so much the design. I don’t think all the ridges compliment the wood or the epoxy. A smooth finish would highlight them more. Maybe a few ridges at the base and one on the top so there was more smoothness on the body to see the beautiful wood and the hypershift color.
The shape and color are too grandma for my taste, but the workmanship is amazing.
Ur a🤩 ❤😊 thx
Secret answer to your question in the title: If you think it's the right color, then it IS the right color!
Never lied to you before and not gonna start now. Nope, not a fan of that colour at all. But, this is a rarity so there is that.
The color is perfect
Thanks 👍 The colour is great.
