Thank you all so much for watching! Because of you, we just hit 50k subscribers!!!!! Wow!!!!!!
This is my 28th filmed project, and also my first project on the new lathe! I have been drooling over the Robust American Beauty since I first started watching Carl Jacobson's videos, and I am so thankful to be able to have one. Without your support and dedication to my channel, it would not have been possible. So... Thank You!
Is it just me or did this chunk of ash turn out looking like Pacman?!?!?!

You literally pick the most peaceful music. Woodturning+great music=fantastic content.
Not only is that a fine piece of woodworking, but some pretty fabulous photography as well! Nicely done!
Magnificent. Such vision. Such skill. Such Beauty. Such art. I am in awe. I bow before you! Thank you!
Cheers Bill! I am always learning!
P
Steady on bill jones😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤪 incredible work👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Really?
Maybe you should ask him out😂
I can not express my feelings about your talent and foresight to create such magnificent things from nothing a person would give a second look at. It is truly a unique and beautiful piece of art.
Thank you, Christina!!
I am truly amazed at the vision you all see in a piece of wood that doesn't have much form, and you turn it into a stunning work of art. Thank you for sharing your love of this craft. How I would long for this kind of ability.
Few things more spectacular than polished Wood Grain. Just beautiful.
Your pieces are so beautiful and unique. I love watching them come to life!
As any woodturner develops his/her craft, one learns that the wood dictates the art. This is probably the finest example of this. You saw the absolute beauty of the piece and did as the wood directed you. Only a true craftsman can accomplish this. Thank you for sharing your talents and skills with us. A magnificent piece!!!
i am doubly stunned! Not only did you reveal the physical beauty of the wood, your videography of its creation is a masterpiece itself! You good Sir, and a few others i've come across, bring a new definition of Fine Art to the world! Kudos and blessings 🙏
Your art is never “exceptionally mediocre” great shirt. But seriously, DAAAAAAAMMMMN DAVID!!! I always love seeing your visions come to life. I enjoy watching and slowly seeing what you envisioned and saw in the chunks of wood that no one else sees when they see a tree stump. I’m too basic and although an artist in a way, I have always envied TRULY CREATIVE MINDS.
Now you're just showing off you are not human anybody can come up with such marvelous artwork it's ingenious
Great work and vision. The Lord has given you a wonderful gift. Well done!
God is good.
I'm impressed by how gingerly you hold the tools throughout instead if fighting the wood with a death grip.
Не устаю восхищаться !!! 😀 просто восторженных слов уже не хватает ...
I have a Sweet 16 and love it. Happy turning.
I love the feeling when breaking in a new machine. Great craftsmanship.
I’m normally not a fan of ash for turning, but this is amazingly well done, and very warm toned with your finish. After the tung wax the sheen level looked really great. Not plasticky like some finishes, but just right. Great job!!
I've watched this complete video 3x over the past year! It's absolutely beautiful! I'm always on the lookout for logs like this, now that I'm a turner! I have one now, but I'm not brave enough to turn it yet. It's box elder, ( Manitoba Maple up here in Canada). I don't want to destroy it!
I was really glad you left the bark lip. It makes the piece all the more magical and mysterious.
Yep - always put your name on a piece of beauty like that!
Cheers Patti!
never seen anything so elegant, organic and balanced
Very beautiful! I love how the inside almost glows a golden color.
Hipnotizing, mesmerising and absolutely satisfying 😍❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I look at wood and just see wood. You look at the same wood and see possiblities. Then you create one of them. What an amazing eye you have.
Wow! That is one of the most beautiful pieces of wood I've ever seen! Absolutely wonderful!
Once again I scratch my head at how you “see” the possibilities out of a hunk of a tree before you begin. Another great piece of art. Cheers!
I was heard a young artist asked how he created his pieces. He said that he would look at a piece of wood, see what was in it and let it out.
U r imagination, is unbelieveable!! Such talent is amazing!! Thank u 4 sharing!!
Spectacular work. I love the live edge. You have a wonderful gift and it’s amazing to watch.
Привет волшебник✊!!! С новой игрушкой тебя👍!!! Увидеть в самой кривой полене такую красоту... Ты и в правду волшебник))))
You sir are an artist. Thank you for sharing ! You inspire me to be a better wood turner!
My Father taught me to appreciate the beauty of wood. It is truly an amazing product for constructing and for sculpting.
After nearly 40 years of crafting tens of thousands of ceramic and gold teeth for people, some famous celebrities and feeling pride in my work, I can only describe this project as magnificent.
Completely gorgeous so glad you kept the live edge including the slight curl. Thank you.
Man am I glad your KZhead channel popped up on my feed. I watch many wood turning and your my new fav. Love everything about how you edit, the no talking and very calming but little music. Beautiful workmanship. Great art wrk is greatly admired. 🇺🇸👍🏽 From SC
Such a beautiful Bazaar piece. Great cinematography as well. You truly have a wonderful gift and should have your own television program. Great precision in your work. Very inspirational!!!
You nailed this. I dig the shape because it show off the grain in every direction. Spots on it look like polished jasper.
Even the video is a work of art. And the finished piece is magnificent.
THAT started out in the wood pile! An amazing gift you have Mr Adamsen.
True master at work. Really enjoy watching your turnings.
It looks like an otter floating on its back or a child in its mothers womb . I havnt seen this yet but a s a photographer I see so much even before the magic that this great artist creates .
Thank you for not chatting on incessantly and mugging for the camera. Your excellent work speaks for itself - both your woodturning and your videography. Superb camera angles - just enough to make it interesting but not over top and annoying. Magnificent woodturning art. A true pleasure to watch.
Cheers!
Thank you once again for showing us your beautiful beautiful talent and with ash!! Be still my heart!! I'm just a novice using my grandfather's antique lathe. The tag says the date of the late 1800s and at one time was powered but foot power.
Thank you! ✌️ Wow that sounds like a cool machine!
You artistry extends not only to your craft but to the video and the choice of music as well. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you!
David, i’m shocked by your ability to see beauty in an ugly piece of wood, pull out this beauty and show us! Потрясающее умение видеть красоту в каждом уродливом куске дерева и умение вытянуть эту красоту и показать людям. Bravo!!!
Удоволствие е да гледаш как едно дърво се превръща в предмет на изкуството под талантливите ръце на майстора. Поздрави за идеите и изработката !!!!
Gorgeous bowl. And perfect design for the edges. Thank You
Pure brilliance no one can ever deny how talented and amazing your brain works just mind-blowing.
You're a true artist David. God bless!
Amazing ability and a stunning work of art
Now that's a masterpiece. Great job.
wow! this is the old lathe BIG BROTHER and the resulting piece is astounding
Soooooo addicted to this channel 😵💫😵💫🤯😍❤
Exceptional yes - mediocre never!! Amazing turning, incredible bowl, great lathe, beautiful photography. I’ve just subscribed. Thank you🌞
I'm grateful you allowed us to come into your life and see something unfold that we would have never imagined. Please, never stop your passion. Thanks again for sharing.

Stunning. Reminiscent of an Ancient Greek urn or vase. Love it.
Now THAT is a serious cereal bowl... Wow 😳
Thank you Dwayne!
Beautiful work! So glad to see a big beautiful bowl.
The shirt did it for me and I laughed so hard seeing it.
Congratulations on the American Beauty! Bea owl. You are so creative.
Like how you paused at the beginning - you were thinking, "OK I got all this wood, now what will I make with it?"
I do believe you could turn the Rock of Gibraltar on that lathe....having the best tools is great....knowing how to use them with skill, patience, and creativity is superior....fine work! Best wishes and stay healthy.
Thank you so much Skip!
I’ve had a very similar Cyprus log laying around taking up valuable space . NOW I can see how I’ll work it thanks to you. If I can figure out how to picture it before, during, and finished, I will gladly share with you.
Awesome! Thanks for commenting! And Of course I would love to see your progress. Instagram me at @adamsen_woodcraft
That grain...just...wow!
Cheers!
Very nice,,,,congratulations on the new beauty!!
You keep making things of beauty! Wish I could afford one, just to sit on my coffee table and be looked at. By me by myself. So lovely.
Thank you!
I absolutely hate sitting Thru a movie, but watching you work is mesmerizing. Classy videos. No talk. Incredible music. And incredible talent. Just started woodworking and you my dear Inspire me to be better. Love that we have no clue what you look like. What a gift you have... thank you!
Прекрасно! Великолепно! Восхишаюсь созданной природой красоте, которой невозможной повторит! Мы должны как можно больще увидеть и осознать эту великолепию, любить нашу землю, нашу жизь! Переклоняю голову перед великой, прекрасной, милой природой, Всемогучей нашей... А вы прекрасный художник, труженник, творец,, одним словом мастер своего дела, будьте счастливы, здоровья вам и долгих лет!
Your work is poetry.
Wow, what a big beauty. ❤️
Thank you Mary! ✌️
The only word I can come up with to describe this piece of art is, Stunning! 😊
I have now seen how to save a different cut of wood and turn it into something beautiful. Thank you for the video that opens the creative mind you have into something I can use. Absolutely Beautiful.
Hi David... what a beautiful bowl and video... yes it is a little Pac Man like...perhaps you should have stained it yellow ha ha ... congrats on your fantastic new lathe... it should make a huge difference with your larger pieces... take care...All the best.....Andy
Cheers Andy! Thank you so much!
Excellent, David!!! Very nice. Great looking new lathe. That chunk of wood was well balanced on lathe and I did not notice any shake, rattle or roll of the machine dancing across the floor. Job well done, my friend.
Thank you John! I appreciate that. It was definitely nice not having to worry about taming a wild lathe 🤣
That's stunning! I was absolutely mesmerized watching you turn this! Great piece and awesome work! 👍👍😊❤
This bowl reminds me of Aubrey 2, and I love that about it.
I know I’m two years late but as a fellow Maine-er who also enjoys working, your videos are very interesting and I aspire to one day have your level of talent
Trabalho maravilhoso! Transformou em uma jóia rara! Parabéns!
Outstandingly beautiful piece of art. Thanks for gifting us with this video. All the best
One of the best I've seen - just wood, no resin!
Rodin claimed to be able to see what was waiting inside a chunk of stone, for you it's what some people would consider a piece of firewood. Beautiful.
WOW... If anyone deservs the proper tools it's you David... Nice work.
Cheers!
Love, love, love this piece. Just beautiful. Well done for showing us what a talented man you are
Unbelievable! I never knew a smile chunk of ash could be so amazing!
Fantastic, artistic, craftsmanship. An eye of great vision, of a scrap of a tree.
Congrats to your new lathe!! Looks beautiful.
Your profession is so relaxing to watch 😃
Cheers!
What a clever person you are ? Well done ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nothing like a heavy-duty, no, beefy, no, a.... ROBUST!!! Lathe!! As always, it's a pleasure to watch you work, my friend, cheers!!! 👍😎
WOW‼️ NICE‼️ I like this one a whole lot 👍🏻👏🏻💫🥰‼️ And you’re not even finished with it yet‼️ BEAUTIFUL finished 👍🏻👏🏻💫🥰‼️
Работа просто завораживает ! Супер ! Шикарная ваза !
Wow that’s beautiful. Such skill. Very artistic. 😎
Beautifully honors the original piece of wood!
Wow what an enjoyable video. That looks like a top shelf lathe, I'll just bet it's every bit as smooth as it looks. I love the colors of that Ash, it looks like it holds all the colors of a sunset. Thanks a ton, David!
Thanks so much Seti!
For the past few months I cannot drive by the different woods near my home without glancing at fallen trees and broken bits of trunks and branches without imagining what could be done with them with the right tools and talent- seeing this video has moved me closer to being able to imagine those possibilities more clearly. I am an artist working in drawing and painting and there is always a little voice speaking to me in various inspirations 'try this' and I have learned over time to actually listen and give those things a try and my life has never been the same. I watch you (and by the way the video production of this is excellent) and that voice begins to speak again. Love what you are able to do. Maybe someday I shall take a class in woodturning and see what I am capable of in this arena. Continued good luck and success to you in your own art.
Wow. Beautiful bowl. Insane workmanship.
Beautiful organic piece. A piece of art.🧿
You did everything that I hoped you would do. You just did it better than what I imagined!! Great piece! Love it! New machine is great too!! Cheers!!!
Thank you Robert! I really appreciate you!
wow, I haven't seen a better and prettier lathe than what you have now. Let it serve you and bring you joy. Greetings.
Oh that's absolutely gorgeous ❤️ just Beautiful!
Truly amazing. Your work takes my breath away.
