Hi i live in Australia, my name is Jeannette Coman I'm 68 yrs with my carer Reg who is 68 yrs retired. We love watching your shows. Reg has worked with wood making furniture way back many yrs ago so we find watching you a nice way to pass the time. I must say this recent piece you made was interesting with the idea to put two colours into segmented trays then after set time taking them out to then glueing them together with two different colours together made it nice, then with the spacers and another pour of the purple. The colours were nicely blended and at the end of the whole process colours really popped with that new high gloss made the piece totally stand out. The idea of the underneith footing to stand on made it complete. Supa job well made unique. 🎉 love your shows cheers Jen xxx😊
I can say to anybody this is a very entertaining show love it.
Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it!
First thought, I waited all week and you make preformed resin cubes and use milled walnut. Instead of randomly placing them in a mold, you mix the colors, one on top of the other, mirroring around the mold. Not what I was looking forward to at all. However, right up there with all your coolest things you have done for us. Jim, you are very talented, you have the vision, the touch, many of us only dream of. I know its a lot of work moving the cameras, to get the right shot, then editing. Your hard work is appreciated, thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Thanks for watching!
A beautiful pc of Art……..
Looks like the “Simon game” we had years ago. I think my 6 years my Jr brother had the game. Anyway, first thing I thought of when ya brought it out.
Perfectly said
Simply gorgeous! It looks like a piece of ancient Egyptian art. The wood gives a copper, bronze & gold accent to the the hollow form. The pine cone segments look like the remnant of a dynamic Egyptian scene. Mesmerizing!
Thank you very much!
I've watched several KZhead channels that show woodturning. I've never subscribed to any of the channels because they don't talk during the videos. You are the first woodturning channel I've ever subscribed to. I love that you explain what you are doing.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
Snap, I've done the same. I've just recently subscribed to. I'm hooked big-time 😊
The most beautiful creations I’ve ever seen. I just accidentally happened upon your channel and 4 hours later, I’m still watching ! Bravo Mr. Sprague, absolutely stunning art pieces and wonderful use of our natural resources.
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching!
I am in constant awe of your craft. You are such a joy to watch with your eye for detail, incredible range of skill and ease in which you deliver your instruction. I’m giddy with excitement and anticipation every Friday when I get that notification that your new video is available! You are so down to Earth-I truly feel like I am having a conversation with my talented neighbor from up the road, so to speak, as you share your latest endeavor. Your art is unmatched, as you’ve proved again today, and you are a true Inspiration.
Wow, thank you very much!
You are so right! I never would have thought to put it that way but it truly is like a conversation with a friend. He is so easy to be around, so to speak. 🙂
Can I just say “Oh My God”. Awesome doesn’t even get close. Extraordinary!
Thank you very much!
Lovely bowl. The colors go well together. I always enjoy your commentary. I especially like the foot you added to the bottom. It’s a nice feature.
Thank you very much!
WOW!!! IMO, that is the best piece you've made so far with resin. The colors are just the perfect blend/combination. Love it! ❤️ Love your creativity!
Thank you very much!
I love how the foot actually brings the wood spacers into the piece more naturally. The colors go well together too
Thanks for watching
I agree, it absolutely added character to the piece. Absolutely gorgeous!
Any projects made with wood is BEAUTIFUL!! Thanks JIMBO!!!
Thank you very much!
Absolutely STUNNING! Another gorgeous piece! Thanks Jim!!
Many thanks!
I absolutely LOVE this piece! Purple is my favorite & mixing light blue & green together was genius! Great job!
Thanks 😊
When you were first started with the mold I didn’t think it would work…I was surprised at how nice it looked! The finished bowl is outstanding 👍. Have to add that I’m traveling across Canada from BC to Manitoba - absolutely terrific sights, people and excellent camping sites!!!!
Welcome to Canada! Thanks for watching!
I don't see how a resin bowl could ever be more spectacular than that piece. Well done!
Thank you very much!
Purple is always a winner and it ties all of the elements together beautifully.
Agreed. Thanks for watching
I agree: VERY VERY COOL! The colour combination is perfect!!! I like how the purple blended outward into the other sections. Great call on adding the pedestal.
Thanks for watching!
Wow! I love how you challenge yourself to be ever more creative! Absolutely gorgeous hollow form bowl! Color combo’s are beautiful and amazing patterns! The base addition is was an excellent idea! Yummy project!🥰💖💜
Thank you so much!
The willful sharing of what's led to one's own success, in the hopes that others will find it too, is really beautiful.
Thanks!
Jim I'm really glad I found your channel. You are a well versed teacher. I find myself hanging on every word & that's refreshing. I've got so much more I'd like to talk to you about but, that'll have to wait. Jim, please, continue to keep us educated! (OH yeah, GREAT hollow form!)
Thank you Very much!
Really happy to have found this channel. I've had tons of wood-turning/resin videos pop up in my various feeds over the past few years, but they've all been quick time-lapses with no narration that didn't give me any appreciation for the work that actually goes into these projects. Really cool and engaging to see all the challenges involved, and your end-results are gorgeous. Love your work, man.
Thanks for watching
I love this week's bowl! just beautiful! I'm always amazed by the color combinations, but adding the wood blocks to the cast just made the piece!! the foot added class and you would never know it was an add-on... looks like it was turned with the original piece! again, I really love it!!
Thanks for watching!
Stunning blank. The colors of the resin, the walnut and the bunya all mesh perfectly. Well done -- once again.
Thanks for watching!
while I am a big fan of your youtube content, I'll confess I'm not usually super into the very colourful, resin-heavy pieces (just not to my taste, no insult to your work which is absolutely top notch) but this one is really quite lovely. Something about the way the bunya pine bits form organic, odd shapes in the finished piece really compliments the swirls of iridescence in the resin, it's very harmonious, and the vertical walnut sections ground everything beautifully.
I total get it, the resin stuff isn't for all. Thank you very much!
Well Jim: I have to say that you have out done yourself this time. I really like the colours and the way they blended in with the pine cones. The maple wood was also a good choice for a little extra colour. Putting the foot on the bottom does wonders to the form by lifting it off of the surface. Great piece of work. Next weeks turning will have to surpass this one. Take care and stay safe neighbour. PS: thanks for the segment on getting it out of the bucket.
I think it’s pretty nice, we will see if others see it the same way, lol. Thanks for watching!
Maybe it's because I love the color scheme, but I think this may be my favorite piece I've seen! Well done!
Thanks for watching!
Sweet Baby Jesus!!!! This is so dang Beautiful 😍!!!!! I LUV the colors this is one of the most beautiful turns I've seen since I started watching yal!!!!! Than
Phenomenal work any one would be proud to display this in their homes.
Thanks 😊
Absolutely beautiful piece! Take care Jim! 💯💯💯
Thanks for watching!
Wow, that is amazing, stunning piece, love the colours in fact love everything about it. Great work. 🤩🤩
Thanks so much 😊
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me Jim. I am always so excited to see what you come up with next! I cannot wait to own one of your pieces someday.
Thanks 😊
Love that you added the foot. It looked so seamless that it could have been one piece.
Thanks for watching!
Jim, your color sense is off the charts. What a GORGEOUS hollow form. 😍
Thanks 😊
Absolutely beautiful!! I love the foot, I think it gives this a gorgeous look.Your very talented. I watch every video and can’t wait for new ones to come out. Keep up the awesome job !!
Thanks for watching!
Hi, Aussie here 😊 just had to comment on how STUNNING this piece is. I absolutely love it. Outstanding work!!!
Thanks 😊
I just keep saying "that's gorgeous" over nd over..it started so simple. 💜👏
Thanks for watching
I think that is one of your best hollow form's. It's simply awesome. 😎👍👍👍👍👍👍🤓
Thanks for watching
I love the shape of this piece. It's just gorgeous all the way around. I'm a big fan of pine cones, etc. things that add "texture." Once again, a nice nice job.
Thanks for watching!
This is an absolutely amazing work of art!!! I’ve learned so much watching your videos!
Awesome! Thank you!
The most striking piece you have ever created - Wow 😮
Thanks for watching Jim!
Love the way the pine "shines" almost red...lovely!
Thanks for watching
This is another absolutely beautiful piece. You never disappoint!! You’ve got me wanting to buy a wood lathe now, lol!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Lol. Thanks for watching!
I want a lathe now too haha
Well Jim absolutely amazing piece the colour combo you chose is just stunning. I really do love watching your videos. And that ks for talking about the business side of things it's great to hear from someone with so much experience like yourself. Top work like always.
Thanks for watching!
Dear Jim, every week I wait to see your new creation. You are my weekly TV show.I always love your creation, but this week OMG you just blown my mind with that dream bowl is a deam.
Wow, thank you!
I really like the voice over, helps to fill the void of the machine and it's nice to hear some of your thoughts & experiences. Beautiful piece!
Awesome, thank you!
OMG, Jim! This is absolutely awesome! I love all the contrasts between the different woods, the pine cones, and the resins! Amazing job! 💜
Thanks for watching!
Great piece, Jim! That combination of colours *really* reminds me of something and I can't think what it was. That's going to bug me all day... And some great advice in the voice over on how to get better results when turning your hobby into an income source. I started on Etsy about 4-5 years ago and sold a few canes here and there, but when I joined Pintrest with a "Canes I have made" board, my Etsy views and sales went up a fair bit. I put up my 3rd KZhead vid a couple of weeks ago and that seems to be driving some traffic as well. (Gave you a shout out and linked your channel in the latest vid as your infill techniques were a bit of an inspiration for me.)
Great! I will check it out. Thanks for watching
MARDI GRAS
I loved the addition of the foot. That balanced the bowl out nicely. Good job, Jim!
Thanks for watching
That would even more gorgeous with a light down in it to shine through the resin. It is truly a uniquely beautiful piece.
Thanks 😊
I love how you share the inspiration for your creative ideas!!! This is a unique and beautiful piece!!! Great job!!!
Thanks 😊
Cada vez que assisto seus videos fico mais encantada com seu trabalho! Brasil
Thank you very much!
That. Is. Gorgeous!! Love your creativity! You're right, that added base made a big difference...more graceful.
Thanks for watching!
I love how it turned out and the colors blended together just perfect. I think this is my favorite piece of all I've seen you do. 😊😊
Thank you so much!
I like everything about this hollow form, especially the way the color of the walnut and bunya pine cone pieces match so closely.
Thanks for watching
What an amazing piece! That base turned out perfect 👌 I'm not sure about the purple, I'd love to see it in a more neutral color. But I do love the way it filled everything in and brought it together! It goes nicely with the rest, just not for me.
Thank you! Cheers!
Nothing quite as beautiful as a slice of pinecone in resin!
Agreed! Thanks
I just love purple. Also I love purple, blue and green together. This hallow form is fantastic looking.
Thank you so much!
That is so beautiful 😍 The foot on the bottom really takes it to the next level. I am still amazed how you can do these great finishes without having to deal with dust. Thr closeup at the end shows just how flawless it really is. I am curious, did this take 4 days to do the finish? Was it on your lathe the whole time? I absolutely love this piece, it turned out amazing 💕
There’s really only one full day of turning and then bits and pieces here and there to get it finished. Thanks for watching
Love the colors, it turned out really pretty.
Thanks for watching!
As I have said in the past you really have a creative mind. Looking at that plastic tray I would have never thought of a hollow form. Amazing!
Thanks for watching
The fruit bowl idea allows for such a nice combination of resin colours. Really cool!
Thanks for watching!
I known most people in Australia, but I know nothing of this so called Burnie. To the best of my knowledge (and I’m a language expert) Bernie is a Lavic name. I’ve no idea why there’s this silly talk of Australian…. Bernie.
It’s call a Bunya pine tree. Thanks for watching
You must get around David if you know most people in Australia as it's a pretty big place. 😂
@@wendydavis2442 Australian's all picnic together on Australia day, explaining how all Australian know one another.
Great idea using your grocery store fruit container for a mold. Love your creativity.
Thanks for watching
Your right it is VERY VERY COOL! I’m glad you switched the blue and green pieces. Great choice of colors and raising it up on a foot.
Thank you so much!
That is beautiful . It blows my mind to watch you take about anything and turn it into a master piece.
Thanks 😊
Words can’t describe how beautiful that is !
Thanks for watching!
Stunning piece Jim. The 4 colors came together beautifully. The foot is a stroke of genius. Have just the right lift to this piece. Super job.
Thanks for watching Doug!
What a good idea using the fruit trays as molds. Beautifully done.
Thanks so much 😊
This is probably my favourite piece now. Love all the colours.
Thanks 😊
The bowl tuned out very nice after putting so much hard work into it. A lovely surprise. Nice to hear that a man from my own country sent you the bag of timber to use. Lovely.
Thanks for watching
The wood segments finished almost have a metallic look to them which goes so well with the colors! 👏👏
The rock needs a name... 😉😎
Yes! Thank you!
I should do a poll with names, lol.
this thing is funkadelic! it’s like an album cover from the 60’s came to life. that crystal purple is blindingly vibrant, i dig it! far out duuuude 😎
Thanks for watching!
That piece is right up my alley! Purple is my favorite color! I love that you used pearlized colors in the initial molds and then with the purple. The use of the plastic fruit tray to make the "blocks" with the nut/cones in it is genius! The entire piece is gorgeous! The nut/comes look like wood flower petals almost! How unique! The wood bands up the sides and the matching pedestal look almost gold in the contrast withe the resin. Truly a beautiful and remarkable piece! I just love it! You're quite talented and have excellent taste for color schemes and ideas! Kudos to you for sharing your tips for those who want to pursue making and selling of their crafts, wood and other mediums. Very sage advice!
Thank you very much!
I think this is your best piece ever
Thanks 😊
I really like seeing your problem solving process in action.
Thank you very much
It turned out to be a thing of beauty
Thanks for watching!
Oh my, this is a gorgeous piece!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful hollow form. I wasn't sure I was going to like this one until it was completed!
Thanks
The bowl is just beautiful. Not something I could afford but something I wish I could display in my home.
Thanks 😊
Absolutely stunning, i am totally hooked on watching you create these gorgeous items. Suffice to say im not getting any house work done. Greetings from the UK.
Sorry about that, lol. Welcome aboard! Thanks
Just WOW! It's the most beautiful thing I've seen in many years. It speaks to my inner bohemian hippie chick-ness. The colors are perfect. You are so talented. 🥰
It’s a beaut! Should of kept it, lol. Thanks for watching
The purple really filled in neat with the walnut pieces!
Thanks for watching!
Well done Jim, the foot added a wonderful dimension to the piece!
Thanks for watching
Thanks again for a great project. I look forward to your bowls each week. Never miss. You have nice bowls.
Thanks again!
WOW!!! Speechless, absolutely speechless.
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
Hi, that is the most beautiful thing that I have seen in a long while. You are a clever chap and the passion you put into your work is evident. FANTASTIC
Thanks 😊
Honestly the most beautiful piece I have seen you turn! The thumbnail made me think of Aladin's turban. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! 😊
The Pine cone color is just brilliant. Very vibrant! I enjoy and appreciate your very informative videos. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks 😊
Beautiful and love how the purple blends all the colours together. Marti Gra colours of the King cake! So festive!
Thanks 😊
Of all the great projects I have watched you create I think this may be my favorite. The inspiration and technique are what makes it so cool to me.
Thanks for watching!
Unique. I especially love the raised foot on the bowl.
Thanks for watching!
That is gorgeous! Love that you added a foot, I agree that its stoutness required it. Love how the walnut balances the bright colors of the resin as well. Nicely done.
Thanks so much! 😊
Turned out beautiful. I like the addition of the foot. Great finish.
Thanks for watching
Very pretty combination of colors and hollow form pieces are so nice! This is really REALLY pretty! Thanks, Jim
Thanks 😊
A bowl of earth and sky magic. I like it a lot!
Thanks 😊
That is beautiful. I love all the colors, you did an awesome job on arranging them as well. I really love the finished product.😊
Thank you so much!
My husband is just getting into wood turning and your pieces and videos have been inspirational. Now he has a huge list of wood turning tools on his Christmas list lol. Truly great to watch and learn techniques from you. Beautiful work!!!!!!
Lol, thanks 😊
Fantastic colors ! And like you pointed out the purple is just incredible ! Great job Jim !
Glad you like it! Thanks so much!
I think it's beautiful, absolutely stunning. Loving the colours. Love from the UK 🇬🇧
Thanks for watching
Colorful bowl. The purple really shines mixing with the other colors. Beautiful 💜
Thanks so much 😊
I enjoy watching you do the medium and finish work, sanding and polishing. I used to make drinking fountains, in my hometown, and learned how to take a flat-finished, ungrained stainless-steel bowl and put a beautiful, soft luster on it, with sandpaper and Scotch Bright.
With metal you certainly can achieve that finish. Thanks for watching
