Omg Jim, you just burst my bubble!! Since I started woodturning, I have become a hopeless wood hoarder and scavenger, thinking that I'd eventually grow out of it. When my firewood was delivered this year, I found a beautiful piece of Curly Maple on top of the pile. This resulted in my needing to put my hands on every single piece from the 4 cord pile. I ended up finding about a dozen pieces that I look at every single day, wondering what I can do with them. You've saved the day, yet again, I hope whatever I make comes out half as beautiful as this!!
Welcome to the addiction, lol. Thanks for watching
Have at it and enjoy yourself.
I do the same with every piece of wood I see lol.
I drive down the highway or back roads and look at all the trees , can spot a burl at 100 yds . After seeing some of the results my wife is doing the same " look honey, how would that finish out "
I keep a high vis. vest and a hard hat in my truck, so when I stop on the side of the road to pick up logs, nobody questions me.
So beautiful. I think I say “Ok, this one is my favorite” just about every week!!
Lol, thanks again!
I just finished watching the firewood vase, and all I can say is WOW!!!!!
Thank you very much!
From trash to treasure.... Great eye on seeing the hidden grain... Great colors.... Good job Jim..... Designer Epoxy
Thank you! Cheers!
Jim yet another captivating piece. I especially love the beautiful silver gray with the mother of pearl. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Designer Epoxy White grey color with mother of pearl, makes some awesome swirls. Curly maple truly is an unique wood and combo that with your resin designs is stunning! Never disappointing to watch your artistic flair
Thank you very much Pam!
Welcome to the Rescue Home for Wayward Wood! Another lovely piece, thank you so much for sharing it!
Thanks 😊
That mother of pearl really set that piece off. Gorgeous
Thanks 😊
The wood is gorgeous and I love the shape of this bowl, it’s beautiful! Aced it again, Jim. 🙂🌸
Thanks 😊
Love the hard maple, my favorite wood to turn. The contrast with the gray is amazing. Just a beautiful piece!
Thank you very much!
That Resin is out of this world beautiful Jim . The whole project is just awesome ! Can't wait until Friday !
Thank you very much!
Wow! Designer epoxy and a maple tree equal an awesome vase or bowl. You make it look so easy, which it is not. I appreciate your talent. Thank you.
Thank you very much
I need to hit the thesaurus to find more superlatives, because you come up with these glorious pieces every week and I am running out of words. This is a beautiful piece - I really like the resin and mother of pearl work you do. The colour of that maple is perfect with it.
Wow, thank you!
The silvery-gray reminds me of dark storm clouds. The pattern on the bottom is captivating. Well done.
I couldn't figure out what the resin reminded me of, then I saw your comment - you're exactly right!
I see it too! Thanks
Jim! Finally someone else who understands the need for leaving things out. I keep telling people it helps me "think". A friend once told me that clutter is a sign of genius. 🤣 Beautiful work, btw!
Well said! I concur, lol. Thanks
Every time you create something beautiful in your shop., You never fail to amaze us. What a talent you have. Always love to watch you. Thank you. One more thing. Who is the lucky one to get to clean the shop every time you work lol.
Who’s got time for cleaning, haha. Thanks
Thank you for rescuing this firewood. Beautiful wood and resin combination.
Thanks for watching
It looks like a weather map , with the swirling pearl resin .. the wood shines too . Get job …. ❤❤
Thanks for watching
You put together videos that teach inspiring art. I am so glad I have discovered you. Thanks so much.
You are so welcome! Thanks
Got my warm pjs on, popcorn and cuddled up in bed. Can’t wait to see this vase transform! 🎉❤
Lol, thanks for watching!
Wowza! This is one gorgeous Vase / Bowl. That grayish silver with the mother of pearl looks awesome. Nice job, Jim! 💜
Thanks Tracey!
Love how it looks like the resin is hugging the wood! Another beautiful piece, with the pearl swirls!
Thanks 😊
You mention that it’s hard to turn so far off the rest quite often in your videos, have you looked at Robust’s bowl rests? I use them and they make a heck of a difference. Nice colors this week.
The silver gray is so lovely and the patterns in it are gorgeous and I could look at it and find new things to see for hours.
The shine of the finish makes it looks like the best kind of taffy
Thanks for watching!
once again Jim, another amazingly beautiful piece.
Thanks for watching
Jim! Stunning piece of “firewood”! So glad you rescued this piece. The inside does have better figuring; however, the outside is dang close!
Can’t argue that! Thanks!
Beautiful! Love the color and size! Looking forward to the next one 😃
Thanks 😊
Wow, that wood is so beautiful! I love the dark storm clouds color of the resin against the lighter color of the wood! Outstanding as always!!!
Thanks for watching
A beautiful end result, Jim. Love it!
Thanks for watching
Jim, I'm running out of words to describe you pieces and your ability. Simply stunning comes to mind with this one. As you mentioned, the beauty of the inside would have been lost if you stayed with the hollow form plan. One of the things that I think separates you as a master turner is you ability to change direction in mid-stride when you see the opportunity to improve the overall look or design. Well done!
Max-flex, thanks for watching!
This is beautiful. The pearl really adds so much dimension. The pine vase will always be my favorite.
Thanks for watching
Thanks Jim for another great lesson in creative turning. Beautiful!!!
Thank you very much
Oh my gosh Jim! It looks like steel and wood! I absolutely love the color choice of the resin!!!!! The curly maple is so gorgeous. I bet your lovely wife claimed this piece.
Nope, it’s sold. Thanks
@@SpragueWoodturning that is awesome!
Turned out beautiful. That wood was so full of character. Another awesome piece.
Thank you very much
Wow! That is really beautiful! It always amazes me how you always pull something new out of the hat every single week, and of course it's always a pleasure to sit and watch your fantastic videos.
Thanks for watching
Oh boy that's one handsome piece of art. Love the resin but the inside of this piece is gorgeous. Another great job Jim.
Thanks 😊
I'm glad you opted not to do just a hollow form. I'm also liking that this one has a foot on it. I thought that really did the last piece justice as well.
Thank you very much
Awesome ! It's always good to do the "catch-up" when I am back home. Happy holidays and best of the new year!
Same to you! Thanks
Absolutely beautiful face, Jim! You’re a turnings are always amazing! I love the way the color turned out with the Mother of Pearl. It’s such a rich looking piece of art! I can’t wait to see next week video😊
Thanks for watching
Designer Epoxy....Beautiful hollow form. The silver really makes this turning. Great job.
Thanks for watching
I was just telling my Bride about the beautiful art you make with whatever you find. I love taking what people throw out and turn it into someone else's treasure. Designer epoxy
Thank you very much
Absolutely beautiful 😍 So looking forward to seeing your next video. Keep warm and safe.
Thanks for watching
Beautiful vase! Love the colour and pearl.
Thank you very much
WOW!!!!! You have turned out yet another masterpiece… I love it!
Thanks 😊
This is absolutely one of my favorites. I love this so much.
Thanks for watching
Another GREAT video Jim, the colors really work on this one.
Thank you very much!
The color came out beautiful with the swirls and the inside is really great looking!❤
Thanks for watching
Striking contrast, love the maple figuring
Thank you very much Jim!
You are great at repurposing firewood. The colors and designs are top notch
Thank you very much
You, Sir, make such nice work. I've been trying to get my friends to subscribe so we can get to that 80k mark. Good stuff, Jim!
Great! Thanks!
Love the vase and the resin color! That turned out very nice!
Thank you very much
I thought today was Friday so I opened KZhead looking for this weeks video. See you tomorrow
I have those days too, lol. Thanks
It never ceases to amaze me how the handle of these plastic buckets are able to support the weight.
It’s always in the back of my mind that it’s going to fail! That will be a bad day, lol. Thanks
Wow! That is stunning!!! I love that dark grey and mother of pearl 😮😍🖤
Thank you so much!
I’m impressed with your deep cast Designer Epoxy bowls.
Thanks for watching
Love the resin on this one. Looks like a black night sky.
Thanks!
Love the curly maple! Love this!!
Thanks 😊
This one is GORGEOUS!!!!! I love the mother of pearl!!!
Thank you very much
A great rescue, the silver almost looks like smoke. As if it knew it was from the wood pile. "Outstanding" piece of art sir.🌿 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you! Cheers!
I did the same with my firewood last spring. I found a beautiful piece of spalted maple and gave it to my son to turn for handles for his snake hooks. Great way to find some gorgeous wood.
Snake hooks, that’s a new one, lol. Thanks for watching
Jim the bowl turned out beautiful. I was waiting for you to say it was going in your collection. Can't wait to see your Christmas themed project. Be warm and well. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching
Love this bowl. Please ignore previous comment, I fell asleep typing. Is been one of those days. Love the color and shape and the burl is fantastic.
Lol, I was wondering what the 0 was. Thanks for watching
I didn't think I would like this......., I was right. I LOVE IT!!! once again way to go
Thank you very much
Loving the gray with the mother of pearl. You are the creative King of resin.
Thank you very much
Love watching your videos Jim. I look forward to every Friday night sitting down and seeing what you've come up with. Thank you! Designer Epoxy
Thanks for watching
Love the curl in that maple wood. Just beautiful great job bud.
Thank you very much
Another stunner! Lovely to find a nice piece like that and make it into something so beautiful! And as ever, love the colours & swirls in that Designer Epoxy
Thank you so much!
Wow! Another beautiful piece. Good thing your checking out the firewood. Designer Epoxy
It’s an addiction, haha. Thanks
Another fantastic job. Turned out beautiful. Have a wonderful and blessed weekend
Same to you. Thanks!
This is a really beautiful bowl/vase
Thank you very much!
What a beauty!
Designer Epoxy, another gorgeous piece! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching
28:39 I love how deep this piece is. Beautiful piece of art!
Thank you very much!
Absolutely beautiful work !
Thank you very much!
Man that is a nice bowl/vase. I've said it before but I'm going to say it again I learn so much watching you. I would love to take a woodturning class from you
Thank you very much
I’m not a wood turner but I’ve put firewood aside since I’ve been watching your videos!🤣 Eventually I will figure out what I’m going to use it for. This piece is beautiful as always. Love the silver swirls, and the curly maple is gorgeous! Thank you! Stay safe!
Thanks for watching
Absolutely beautiful. The Deep Cast Designer Epoxy worked great, no thermal cracking (outstanding). The finish came out really cool, looks like a ghost pattern.
Thanks for watching
I love that colour! Hit another one out of the park!
Thank you very much
Another nice piece. The bottom looks like wind currents in a storm. Beautiful.
Thanks for watching
I never looked at the fire wood as possible projects. Great job.
Lots of future projects in mine, lol. Thanks
One of my favorite color combos, wtg Jim! Amazing work as always!
Thank you very much
Saving 'garbage' wood... love it
Thanks
Yes, this is a beautiful piece. Wise choice to pull out of your firewood.
Thanks 😊
Absolutely beautiful Jim. I’m amazed at some of the ideas you come up!
Thank you very much
Just getting to this video this week. Your maple analysis is dead on for all that I've seen down here in Northeast Tn as well. Granted, I haven't seen nearly as much maple as I have Oak and Pine, but for what we have seen over the years, it has held true. I have to say I love how the Designer Epoxy grey turned out there. The mother of pearl always surprised me on how it stands out from almost everything, instead of just blending in, probably shouldn't at this point, but I always love it!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful work! I love the fractal pattern.
Me as well, too bad there’s so much negativity attached to it. Thanks for watching
Designer epoxy. You do do amazing things with this epoxy Jim.
Thank you very much
Gorgeous piece Jim! Love the pearl and curl. Cheers
Thanks for watching
Stunning. Love the mother of pearl effect
Thank you very much
This one takes the cake! Wow!
Thank you very much
"not bad for firewood". ha!!! not bad indeed!! Fabulous
Thanks 😊
Awesome turning, Jim. Again, impressed.
Thank you very much
I don’t have a wood stove or fireplace but I’m sure if I ever get one I’m going to be looking through it for character pieces. We moved during Covid & I was in hospital so all my collected wood for crafting was lost 😩. At least I can live vicariously through KZhead
Well that sucks! Thanks for watching!
I love your finishes, they always look so nice.
Thank you so much!
That's some good looking firewood!
Thank you very much
That vase is just breath taking. I wish i had your talent.
Thanks 😊
This came out really good. It’s so pretty I really love the pearl and the gray. That’s what you should name it the gray pearl! Anyway she’s beautiful
Thanks for watching
Great color and figure. Excellent bowl. Designer Epoxy
Thanks
Love it Jim. The swirls came out perfect. Designer Epoxy
Thanks for watching
WOW, very NICE. The inside was a very cool look.
Thank you very much
good call on saving the wood from it's firey death. that turned out to be a super nice vase!
Thanks!
