Elms are exceptionally rare where I live - English elms are all sterile vegetative clones, making them particularly vulnerable to Dutch elm disease, so only a handful survive - I know of only one within twenty-five miles of my home. Seeing someone working with elm wood has been a treat. I love how the gunmetal grey resin allows the colours of the spalted wood come to the fore.
Beautiful piece. Love the wood grain. One never really knows how it’s going to work out, and it takes an artist to find the beauty then make it shine 😊
That is completely and utterly stunning. Whoever bought it ended up with a work of art that will become an heirloom. Pieces like this never go out of fashion.
I'm going to repeat my self. Absolutely gorgeous hollow form. Love the pattern in the grain and resin. The resin looks like granite with it's sparkling.♥️♥️
the last shot showing the form up close.... I bet it is breathtaking in person because it's incredible on the video. I can't wait to see what you do next!!
Every one of your videos makes me say, "This is my favorite piece." This video is no exception. Now I have a new favorite piece of your work, until the next one, I guess! Keep up the great work!
Ha! Yes, even without any other identifying clues, the whole “oot and aboot” thing immediately gives you away as a Canadian. Thanks neighbor. Great work.
I go down any number of a wide variety of RUclips rabbit 🐰 holes. I’m glad I ventured to wood turning. I find it satisfying, and I’m amazed about the beautiful items made.
That is one of the prettiest pieces you’ve made!! I love the way the resin soaked into the wood. Absolutely stunning,as always. Thank you so much for the video. Have a blessed week.
Most excellent piece my friend! This one really is a beauty. Never disappointed that's for sure. I loved the woodwork but since you've started working with resin it has really added a kick to it. They are equally beautiful. Keep killin' it! Take care & God Bless!!!
I know I've already commented, but I watched this video again and want to say how much I, as a "non-lathe turner", appreciate the details that you tell us about that we, or at least I, never thought of before. Thank you for thinking of us in your voice-overs.
I found this channel yesterday and I've been kind of binging the vids since then. Your work is so amazing. And wow, this piece is absolutely stunning! These resin stains really add a lot to it!
Boy, I was not optimistic about the gray resin, but wow, it turned out fabulous! It works with that wood so beautifully. I love how it penetrated through those bug holes and gave us a wooden layer, a resin layer, and a blended layer. That is supercalifragilistic! (sorry, I’m finding it difficult to say great in different ways😅). 🤩
Another inspiring video as it gives me hope that I can come close to your quality of piece and it gives me ideas of things to try in my own shop. Thank you and keep up the great work!
For some reason, that piece really wanted the gun metal. I think it was the antique look of the wood that made gun metal such a great choice. I wish I had the space for that hollowing rig - sure looks slick! Thanks Jim!
Love the result of inverting the two halves. I was at the dentist the other day and enquired about their old scalers, after some assurance from me that I wouldn't attempt home dentistry and a short wood turning explanation I came away with a bag of around 20 of them so thanks for that suggestion. I noted that it appears you have a go jig and a separate no go jig. Why didn't you just cut the two notches from one piece of board and simply invert to check the second option?
This turned out so gorgeous. Between the wood figuring, and the wood taking up the resin color. Its a truly fantabulous piece of art. Thank you for sharing with us.😊
Absolutely gorgeous. I love the wood grain patterns and how the resin swirls around them. As a very definite non-home-decorator, I wonder... how do people use these pieces in their homes? Simply as a stand-alone piece, or to hold things?
Nice work, Jim. If you hadn't watched the video, you may not even realize that it started as two separate pieces of wood. The finish looks great! The shape is simple but elegant. Keep up the good work.
That is a beautiful hollow form! The wood is gorgeous and the grey compliments wood exceptionally well! Totally bummed that you did not fight the mold 😒; oh well, maybe next time 😉🤪
Mazel Tov, 55k subscribers! Woo! The gunmetal color with this wood, hubbahubba. Really goes together. Envious of whoever got to adopt this beauty. Thank you for the hint about the glide spray. Got a table saw and jointer that could use some love in a can. Have a good Canada Day Friday. I’m getting seriously mugged by the dentist Thursday, so looking forward to learning and being entertained by you Friday while I hide under the air conditioner…
Elm trees and Dutch Elm disease: You are fortunate in that New York State lost just about all of its Elms starting heavily in the 1950's and carried on throughout the 1960's into the early 70's when all the known elms were dead and gone. By-the-way, elm boards were used extensively for flooring in horse stalls as it resisted horse urine.
How did I miss this one when I was going through prior (to my subscription) vids?!? I love this! The crotch grain, the epoxy, the epoxy staining, everything works together so well!
Dear Jim, I am a new subscruber, and since I found you, I simly can stop going through ALL your video. For the today's piece of Art, it is a 5 stars nothing
WOW!!! I am head over heels over this one! The grain pattern along with that gun metal grey epoxy….. sexy! In some lights the epoxy between the wood forms almost look blue tinged which adds interest and makes it pop. Very earthy vibe. One of my absolute favorites that I’ve had the pleasure of viewing!!!
The laser machine is so awesome; I would be afraid to go through the side. You are so talented! Absolutely a God given talent and you are very patient and knowledgeable! This Vase turned out beautifully! Great job! Bravo!
Just beginning to watch these videos and there are many aw esome woodies” out there, but I have say, this video you have presented has been not only been informative but enjoyable. And the piece you created is magnificent.
OMG......lost of words this time. As i say like before: I just love this piece it is fantastic. Your skills about turning combined with resin is extraordinary. This piece i could rest in eternity in, but then i think someone would have digged me up and stolen me. LOL Looking forward to see more of these project Jim. Best Greetings from Norway Hans Olav
That turned out really, really nice. I think this would be something my mother would have bought as an heirloom. A little something special to keep in the family forever. :)
I love this. I say that alot when I watch your videos. I believe that those pieces of wood would be amazing in any color. I always learn something when I watch your videos so thank you for the time and effort. Itbis appreciated.
Friday morning, coffee, Jim wailing on the bucket..perfect. All set for the day. That is a really nice piece today Jim. The epoxy colour mix works well with the Elm. Old wood gets a new look. The circle cutter is something that I will have to build for my band saw. The cutting jig is massive for the lathe. As always: stay safe and take care.
Greetings from Brazil. I was going to comment on the beauty of the piece but I couldn't find words other than the comments already made. Really great. Hugs.
Good evening, Jim. Gotta love this hollow form. The One Way hollowing system appears to operate very securely, giving great tool control. You definitely are doing things right with the epoxy. No cracks or bubbles. The design for this project was excellent. Thumbs up.
Elms are exceptionally rare where I live - English elms are all sterile vegetative clones, making them particularly vulnerable to Dutch elm disease, so only a handful survive - I know of only one within twenty-five miles of my home. Seeing someone working with elm wood has been a treat.
I love how the gunmetal grey resin allows the colours of the spalted wood come to the fore.
Lots of our tree's here are under attack in one form or another, thanks for watching!
Beautiful piece. Love the wood grain. One never really knows how it’s going to work out, and it takes an artist to find the beauty then make it shine 😊
Thank you very much!
That is completely and utterly stunning. Whoever bought it ended up with a work of art that will become an heirloom. Pieces like this never go out of fashion.
Agreed, thanks for watching!
Designer epoxy.
Another beautiful piece...thank you. Glad to see that you are up and moving with your knee issue.
Thank you very much!
Hi Jim, another beautiful pot. Have a good weekend.
Thanks 😊
Jim, you may be left handed, but your ambidextrous ability shows.
Love Your technique!❤
Thank you very much!
I'm going to repeat my self. Absolutely gorgeous hollow form. Love the pattern in the grain and resin. The resin looks like granite with it's sparkling.♥️♥️
That’s what I said to my wife last night. It totally looks like black granite, thanks!
Perfect Canadian accent and a Tim's cap on...
Thanks eh! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Very nice. Like the one way hollower, makes it look so much easier. The Gunmetal gray was a perfect choice.
😎👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Mike!
the last shot showing the form up close.... I bet it is breathtaking in person because it's incredible on the video. I can't wait to see what you do next!!
Thanks!
One of my favorites. I particularly like how the gray resin stained the wood. Almost gave it a barn wood look. Fantastic job as always!
Thank you very much!
Every time I watch I want whatever you've you made. I love watching you do your work.
Thanks 😊
Every one of your videos makes me say, "This is my favorite piece." This video is no exception. Now I have a new favorite piece of your work, until the next one, I guess! Keep up the great work!
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
Very nice shape and color. The pearl/metallic gray contrasts nicely with the natural wood.
Agreed, thanks 😊
Absolutely gorgeous. I love how the resin and wood work together so organically.
Thanks 😊
Ha! Yes, even without any other identifying clues, the whole “oot and aboot” thing immediately gives you away as a Canadian. Thanks neighbor. Great work.
Lol, thanks!
I love the gunmetal color with this wood! The contrast of the colors really grabs your attention on this one. Amazing job, Jim! 💜
Thanks 😊
The natural wood grain and resin color, really make this piece pop.
Agreed, thanks!
What a beauty, the shine is phenomenal. You do some great work buddy. Can't wait to see what you make next.
Thanks!

Thanks for watching!
Dang it Jim you've done it again. Again again? I've lost track of how many times you've absolutely knocked it out of the park.
Thanks 😊
Most excellent piece my friend! This one really is a beauty. Never disappointed that's for sure. I loved the woodwork but since you've started working with resin it has really added a kick to it. They are equally beautiful.
Keep killin' it! Take care & God Bless!!!

Stunning piece Jim. Love how the resin mixes with the wood and almost looks green in spots. Nice video my friend.
Thanks 😊
What a tease. No mold release and you still didn't struggle getting it out of the bucket.
One's gotta go my way sometimes, lol. Thanks
Another inspiring video as it gives me hope that I can come close to your quality of piece and it gives me ideas of things to try in my own shop. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Wonderful! Thanks!

It is on the same board, I just flip it around. Good luck cleaning teeth, lol. Thanks
This turned out so gorgeous. Between the wood figuring, and the wood taking up the resin color. Its a truly fantabulous piece of art. Thank you for sharing with us.😊
My pleasure! Thanks
Absolutely gorgeous. I love the wood grain patterns and how the resin swirls around them. As a very definite non-home-decorator, I wonder... how do people use these pieces in their homes? Simply as a stand-alone piece, or to hold things?
Works of art, thanks!
The crotch pattern grain turned out looking incredible with the resin. Beautiful piece.
Thanks for watching!
Только очень талантливый человек может сделать из деревяшки произведение искусства. Здоровья вам и долгих лет жизни. Москва.
Thanks!

That makes sense, they smell the same, lol. Don’t see any large Elms in this area anymore. Thanks!
Simply stunning. The inherent texture of the wood is showcased here. It glows!!
Thanks 😊
A sunrise bowl. It is Beautiful!!!!
Thanks 😊
That is Elegant, and the mystery of the swirling grain draws one in. Wow.
Thanks!
Love watching you work. Like how you talk through what you are doing, even if I'm not a turner. I hope letting the ads play out helps your channel.
It certainly does! Thanks
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Stay safe yourself Jim 🌞
Thanks!
How did I miss this one when I was going through prior (to my subscription) vids?!? I love this! The crotch grain, the epoxy, the epoxy staining, everything works together so well!
Thank you very much!
Really a beautiful piece, the dark resin soaked into the wood brought out the grain.
Agreed, thanks 😊
This is a cute vase. I would look great on my shelf! LOL
Thank you very much!
the gunmetal grey looks great with the wood. Beautiful piece once again.
Thanks 😊
Wow, I think this is one of your most beautiful creations but then they are all beautiful.
Thanks!
Absolutely gorgeous. Anyone would be glad to own this. Your work is inspirational.
Thanks!
Small but mighty...I am in love with this piece.
Thanks 😊
Love the shape of this hollow form and the way the charcoal grey epoxy enhances the natural grain of the wood.
Thanks 😊
Stunning. I can’t stop watching your videos. You’re ability to carve a perfectly flowing curve is impressive.
Thank you very much!
The epoxy complicated the wood beautifully. Great job.
Thanks 😊
Great videos. Proud to see Canada on the woodturning content map doing such a good job.
Thank you very much!
How did I miss this one?? Gorgeous!!!
Thanks so much!
Awesome, wood grain and the combination of the gunmetal resin. Thank you for sharing your work with the world!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Jim glad to see the first use of the refrigerator was a success.
Worked great! Thanks!

Welcome aboard! Thanks 😊
I love the undulating lines of this piece, Jim. I even like the staining.
Thanks!
WOW!!! I am head over heels over this one! The grain pattern along with that gun metal grey epoxy….. sexy! In some lights the epoxy between the wood forms almost look blue tinged which adds interest and makes it pop. Very earthy vibe. One of my absolute favorites that I’ve had the pleasure of viewing!!!
Awesome, thanks 😊
This is one of my favourites.....just wow.....the tiger eye look to it is beautiful
Thank you very much!
What a great way to start my Friday. Thanks Jim

Another beautiful piece. I didn't think I would like that gray pigment, but I really love it.
I was undecided too in the beginning! Thanks!
The resin sparkles like diamonds in this one and the wood looks pretty nice too 👍!
Agreed, thanks!
I really appreciate how you explain everything as you are doing it. I enjoy watching you work.
Thanks 😊
Oh my this 1 is terrific! It's almost as if the piece was burnt with a torch from the color resin. I luv it 😍 ❤️
Thanks 😊
Wow! I love that piece!!!! Cindy and I just found a new favorite turning from you!!!!!!
Great! Thanks for watching!
Very nice, surprised how easy that came out of the mold. You deserved an easy one!!
Lol, thanks!

Thanks a lot Hans, I really appreciate it!
Beautiful shaped container and color. Very classic!
Thanks 😊
That turned out so nice. great choice on the color the resin staining in the wood makes for amazing contrast.
Thanks 😊
That turned out really, really nice. I think this would be something my mother would have bought as an heirloom. A little something special to keep in the family forever. :)
Thanks for watching
It turned out really nice, I liked the way the colors blended.!

Thank you very much!
The coloration is phenomenal!!! Beautiful.
Thanks!
Looks beautiful with the epoxy. I was also thinking it looked beautiful turned without epoxy.
Without epoxy this piece doesn’t exist, thanks
Absolutely beautiful hollow form. This could be the main attraction in anyone's collection!
Thanks!

Was able to see what a great piece you created Jim show in your final footage!!!
Thanks!
Absolutely sensational! The definition is stunning. Being a “shiny” guy really pays off!
Lol, thanks!
Good evening, Jim.
Gotta love this hollow form. The One Way hollowing system appears to operate very securely, giving great tool control. You definitely are doing things right with the epoxy. No cracks or bubbles. The design for this project was excellent. Thumbs up.
