This piece a jewel of nastiness every step of the way. Given how rotten the burl was, it required thin epoxy with an extended curing time in order to fill all of the gaps and saturate the wood. However, the longer the curing process, the greater the risk of losing color separation in the resin. I found this out the hard way after hoping for more distinct purples and golds in this one. The inside of the vase is not spectacular and rather rough, but it was necessary to leave some wall thickness given the fragility of the wood. I expect this piece is fairly sturdy, given all the stabilization that it needed. Anyway, life is a learning process, and nothing is perfect. But this piece will hopefully find a comfy spot in someone's home.

I did two electives of woodworking in high school, never followed through, my career went elsewhere. I have very fond memories of my lathe work. And I have a beautiful maple side table next to me as I speak, which I hand made with the lathe, routers, band and coping saws when I was 11 years old. I am 52 now. Superb piece of wood and turning here. Congratulations..
It is never too late, you know. Hobbies are better than careers. Hobbies let you go where you want, on your own time. Older lady here and just trying to learn blacksmithing now that I am of kitten strength. Never give up your dreams.
I don’t think something you made in the 80s qualifies as an antique.
@@smelltheglove2038 🤫😆😆😆...let him dream!
Wow! I'm 55. So this wooden cup I turned in 83 must be a priceless artifact! I'm call Sotheby's right now!
@@smelltheglove2038 automobiles turn antique at 35 years other things aren't antique until they are 100 years or older so the appropriate term he should of used is vintage older than retro but younger than antique haha retro is 20-40 vintage is 40-100 and antique is 100+(unless it's an automobile than it is 35 years or older)
Extraordinary. Also I found the sound of the tools without music very tranquilizing.
My 4 year old daughter just watched your whole video. She was mesmerised. :)
You surely do know how to find the beauty in nature. I always feel like I’m looking at galaxies, or the earth’s core or something when I see the finished piece. I can’t praise you enough!!
I always enjoy watching how burls turn out. I miss being able to do turnings. Unfortunately being disabled your income is limited and had to sell all my equipment just to keep the utilities on and food in my daughter's stomach. It was always very very relaxing and helped with keeping the depression away from not being able to work. At least I can still watch others beautiful works of art.
May God bless with good fortune and health. And may that day come very soon in which you can return to your crafts that make you happy.
Watching a skilled craftsman create a work of art out of chaos is a therapeutic balm for troubled times.
Absolutely love that he doesn't edit the videos to be error free! That kind of turning is not for the faint hearted...
THANK YOU for this burl vase project. It came out real nice! My Dad gave me a small wood-lathe, that he got, trading. He gave me the fundamentals plus he showed me how to sharpen the tools, when I was about 9 years old and I made some nice stuff over the years. I like to watch it done. Reminds me of my childhood, over half a century ago 😜 Bill, from Tn. 🇺🇸
Is there a reason that you can't return to this hobby? It seems that you got much satisfaction from the work and creativity!
I was mesmerized for the first six and a half minutes then suddenly thought " please dear God, don't let this become a lamp!!" . Fantastic work!! Close up it seems to be a map of the Cosmos.
Me too!!!
Came to me as well. Glad folks saw it as well
"... please dear God don't let this become a lamp" 😂😂😂
Well, yeah, it is,
I have only just started to watch these kind of videos. I love seeing nothing made into something absolutely beautiful. You are one of the talented ones. It’s awesome!
Isn't it awesome how he can take a chunk of wood, knots and all, and picture what it can be!! I think that is an enormous talent in itself!! 😮
Without the proper knowledge and training wood turning can be extremely dangerous. It is a beautiful art, craft, skill. I love watching the piece reveal itself.😍
What most people see is a chunk of firewood, you see a gorgeous piece of art. Outstanding 👍
I am just as amazed by his creativity and imagination as his talent!!
I believe this is one of the most beautiful turnings I’ve ever seen !
Wow, thank you Keith!
Pieces like this will be in musiums in the future it is a gorgeous piece of art and the way you did it was so relaxing to watch I would love to see more of your work thanks for this.
Having read this message before I have watched the video...I now have high expectations....standby.
Keith you can relax......you were spot on..how nice indeed. 👌
Would adding wood dust to the resin work?
Oh my, this is something else! The bits of green are superb too!
Finally, the algorithm is giving me content relevant to my interests! The vase came out splendid!
Wow this is absolutely BEAUTIFUL.
Cheers from Maryland! I find these videos so relaxing, it’s incredible the vases you can create from these things
An elegant combination of natural and man-made materials. Congratulations!
Love watching you work a piece into a thing of beauty.
I watch a lot of woodturners & enjoy the work of all of them but there are only a handful that can make woodturning look as easy & relaxed as you do David. I even like your use of resin unlike some who overuse it to avoid some of the extreme challenges that some pieces of wood present. This is such a delightful piece to add to all of your other delightful pieces. You are a great role model for future woodturners as they develop. Congratulations, Don from South Aust.
Your videos hypnotize me, and your work is beautiful. Making something this lovely out of something most people would throw in the burn pile is true craftsmanship.
I find it mesmerising watching the beauty emerge from the raw material. Awesome.
It looks like an old map. So pretty.
Unbelievable gorgeous!
You are a true artist, I could only ever wish to have your level of talent.
So incredible. You've got a great talent and your choice in epoxy colors compliments the wood so well. I know of a tree in northern Maine that is burl upon burl upon burl upon hundreds of burls. It's so ugly, it's the most beautiful tree I've ever known. It's in the middle of the forest where hardly an eye has ever beheld it. Thanks for posting your workmanship.
Keep it safe. That old girl could tell you some tales. Beautiful 😍
Give coordinates of tree
NO!! He might cut it down!! Unless he too can make a beautiful work of art, of course!!
Beautiful piece. About ten years ago, I dug a basketball sized cherry root burl out of a neighbor's yard, when they had their cherry tree cut down. I had sealed it, and was waiting patiently for it to dry, and cure properly before working it. I left the area for a while, and my uncle went by the house to check on things, and saw this piece of wood, thought it would make a long burning piece of fire wood, and burned it. It was such a heart breaker. It was cool to see someone make something similar, and see it come to fruition. Makes it not quite as bad. Thanks
This is like fine ancient art. A Japanese giant oyster jewel. It feels like a journey even just by looking it from a screen. Extremely rare content.
Wow! what a stunning work of Art David. I am not a 'huge' fan of resin but when used wisely, as you have done here, it can have some stunning results as here with this beautiful Cherry Burl. It really is a beautiful piece with a stunning finish to it. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
Besides the fact that this is amazing work, it’s also incredibly calming and satisfying.
I'm sorry
@@nominus1138 It is satisfying.
My guy looking like he should be cast in the remake of Under Wraps
OMG! I am fascinated with this beautiful work you do! Amazing!
So much to appreciate in this: How an injury to a tree literally is turned to beauty. How technology meets nature to create something out of this world, The art in the cinematography. The effort and patience in the journey , And the sheer satisfaction of seeing the end result. So good!🤗
I watch a variety of woodturners, and I enjoy them all - many, because I like the people as much as the woodturning. With you, however, it's different. Your videos are an art form unto themselves, and your creations are often breathtakingly beautiful and unusual. It is so good to have you creating, once again. I hope and pray your recovery has been complete. May God bless you and yours. You certainly bless me, by allowing me this little "window on your world."
Thank you so much Margaret!
I found this really calming. My cat, on the other hand, was very excited, especially when the strings of resin were coming off!
First, OMG ! What a gorgeous piece.😳 I can't believe how you came up that process. If I didn't see it being made I would have thought it was marble. It reminds me of an old world map. You're amazing 🤩
Absolutely Beautiful ❤️ 😍
There's a touch, a magical touch, and you have it my friend.
Beautiful job. The burl almost looks like it has gold flecks in the wood. Just gorgeous!
Prob from the gold powder he added to the resin
@@realestatearena It could be the chatoyance in the wood.
@@keirfarnum6811 thanks, I learned a new word today 😀
He added gold color to it, so of course that’s going to wind up in the final product….
That was really quite lovely. The light pink went well with the burl wood. Beautiful. Very soothing to watch.
I keep saying "Wow!" in everything that you do! Over and over again!
I absolutely love the wood....not sure I like the color of the epoxy but the wood is like you just can't stop staring at it
I’m utterly speechless at the beauty you create.
A vase, made of wood & glaze. *BEAUTIFUL* 😍
The piano music at the end just made the vase more mysterious and beautiful.
Really beautiful, elegant and balanced. Well done
I really appreciate people who take nothing and "turn" it into something, that takes talent and skill....the burl and the resin each have their own unique patterning, you did a fantastic job bringing that out, it reminds me of Mexican crazy lace agate, one of my favorite lapidary stones....
OMG! I was introduced to wood turning in high-school and as much as I loved it I decided to make the move to the Infantry with the Army. I truly did Love woodworking. It was something I was actually good at. Being from a very small town in Western Montana and from a broken low income family that said a lot, it was the first thing I was truly good at and enjoyed. As I turned out I was good at a few more things gs once I got in the Army. I was never close to what I see on here. The Beautiful work and the Gorgeous pieces are incredible. All I can say is CHEERS to all of you that are so knowledgeable and produce such Gorgeous stuff!!!!
Thank you for your service!! Is there a reason that you can't do this too?
😮JUST INCREDIBLE what man and machine can produce!!!!
This is one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever seen turned. The wood grain itself is spectacular and I love the color choices for the resin!
I think a darker purple would have worked better on this piece. That was milky lilac which I don't think went well with the wood.
Such an amazingly graceful and beautiful piece! You make the beauty of the wood absolutely sing! Stunning!
This was one of the finest examples I've seen. Absolutely stunning.
Too bad it lacks symmetry
just came across this page randomly... Amazing work, truly beautiful.
This piece is so beautiful. The burl was quite a mess, but you’ve truly turned it into something amazing. Thank you! Cheers! From FL-Florida
I hate I may have missed out on the giveaway for this one. It is gorgeous! I never expected it to look how it turned out considering how it looked from the start. Great Job! You do beautiful work!
Cheers from WA
My deceased ex would've loved this. He was a machinist but also made wood signs. This video brings back memories. Ty that wood is gorgeous 😍
Absolutely beautiful!! 💜💜💜💜
WOW...!!!... Amazing transformation.. what looked like a garbage wood turned into marvellous artistic article... 👏👏👏🥰
Very beautiful and unique.
This was amazing! You are so talented!
Wow this is stunning! Amazing work!
Therapeutic to watch the process of all these gorgeous things you make!!!!!
"Mother of Purple" sounds like a Dark Souls Boss
Slayed. Bowing to the cellular level depth of creativity and ability and discipline and science! Gorgeous!
The obvious patience and precision it takes with this particular form of art and the beauty of the finished product is truly remarkable.
Masterful work, so beautiful 💜
Best wood turning I've watched. Amazing vase.
I’m so amazed how that scary piece of wood turned into a gorgeous masterpiece! Your talent and persistence are keys to this stunning piece of art! Bravo!
My grandfather used to create stuff like that. Watching you brought back so many wonderful memories I thought were long gone. Thank you. You have great talent! Looking forward to more wonderful pieces! Greetings from SA-TX
Thanm you, I really appreciate that!
HAND ON HEART, never have a seen a more beautiful piece of art...I could stare at it for ages, admiring the colors the knots in the wood, the smooth lines of the vase, the change of colors, but my highlight is to see the animals and faces and various other shapes I saw whilst you were sculpting!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a load of fcking BS.
I love that even you, watched a lot of your videos, will actually show when you make a mistake (by the log falling off). Shows true character and respect towards your viewers of your channel. We are all human and make errors in life. What you create is a BEAUTIFUL piece of art in every way. Your patience and love for what you do show that. Never stop what you are doing as it would be a crime to humanity to lose such an artist...
It’s a real gift to be able to look at a hunk of wood and see the object trapped inside. Even more so to let it out.
I always say his creativity and imagination are just as amazing as his talent! ❤️
This piece is a work of art. Absolutely gorgeous.
I’ve seen some awesome wood turning in my life what with my father in law being a Master, but this is one of the most gorgeous pieces I’ve ever seen.
You are making my fingers itch to draw again. Thank you! Your work is amazing!
The most beautiful creation I've ever seen! 😍
The skill and artistry that goes into making this piece is brilliant, the grain in the wood just came to life when the oil was applied to it.
Thank you Terry!
That is the most beautiful turned wood I have ever seen. Absolutely jaw dropping.
ever since my mom left my dad i started making these videos. They are 63 years old and i'm not sure why she did it but. I'm for certain why you made this piece. Can't wait to have one in my home one day. edit - making = watching
My Grandfather loved working with birds-eye maple. I do believe he would have approved of this work of yours. Myself, I'm amazed!
Absolutely stunning
BEAUTIFUL is the only thing I can get out... simply BEAUTIFUL!!
It's crazy how some blob of wood could be turned into something so beautiful...
Honestly I think the lack of color desperation worked really well for this piece! Gave it a Sakura Blossom Cherry vibe, very beautiful
So beautiful! The purple is a perfect complement to the color of the wood.
This is an absolute masterpiece I have never seen anything so beautiful from returning good job you are absolutely a true Craftsman
Me so
just balancing that piece on the lathe is an amazing feat in itself..hahaha
Artist.
Amazingly creative way to save beautiful pieces of wood that would otherwise never be seen or enjoyed.
So far, this is the most gorgeous piece I’ve seen! It is beautiful!
Wow, thank you!
You have such an amazing talent. What a beautiful piece! Thank you!
Cheers from TX! An absolute beauty! Such an amazing effort but the result is among the top 5 pieces I've seen turned on YT. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
One of the most beautiful works I've ever seen 😻 impressive. I love it so much ❤️😍
Might be the most beautiful object I've ever seen turned! Its like an ancient artifact discovered in a tomb! So beautiful. Excellent production on the video too.
I was thinking the same. Maybe one day future human will rediscover it and ponder the long lost secret of polymers.
Are you serious? It doesn’t even look that good, the pink/purple coloring is awful.
@@jeffw8218 …In the eye of the beholder.
Wow! Absolutely beautiful! Thank you.
Watching a true craftsman do his thing is and making something out of nothing is a beautiful thing. Stunning piece!
This is an amazingly beautiful vase, just extraordinary
Persistence pays off! Glad to see that burl become beautiful. Cheers from TX
I bet you love to make things but hate to clean it all up! It’s like cooking a great meal, then getting stuck with a sink full of dishes, lol! This is beautiful!!!
You’re on to something there lol. Thank you though.
Stunning! Never got into any epoxy use in my turnings.. but this makes me want to.. Thank you!
Very nice piece of wood. Thank You for sharing your art/talent.
absolutely beautiful
