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.
@@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)
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!!
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.
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!
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. 🇺🇸
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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!🤗
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 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.
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.
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!
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!!!!!!!!!!!!
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."
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....
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.😍
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
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!!!!
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.
Nice post thanks David. It's quite something to watch a shape and patterns slowly appearing out of this organic mass. Even the lath itself has a cool, multi-bubble pattern work (right side of the picture at 6:23) on it's surface.
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...
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 🤩
Hi David - this is a stunning piece and as a fellow woodworker/woodturner I can really appreciate the time and effort that went into this project. Your videography is superb and the editing produces a dreamy hypnotic film. I’m currently filming some of my work in preparation to launch my own channel. Very inspiring all round. Well done and best wishes- Jim
Cheers from PA. Your videos are just superb, not only for the obvious skill, but the soundtrack choices as well. I usually watch them before turning in for the night, as they are just so relaxing. Thank you.
The video I watched before this one was an Olive wood burle that DID break into many pieces but he was able to finish making it into one of his best pieces! Amazing work, talent, creativity and imagination!! ❤
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!!!
This is stunning. I just happened across your channel with this video. Purple is my favorite color so I absolutely love this. I've always wanted to learn how to do stuff like this.
This was amazing to watch. Your creativity is a wonder to behold,so cheers to you. Your skill is incredible is wish you were in DE so I could watch you create.
I have just found your channel and have been watching non stop. Every piece is as or more incredible then the other. I have been turning for about a month and love it. Watching your chisel work is amazing the tool presentation is master class caliber. I hope to progress to that caliber someday. Please keep adding content love your work.
I've known and watched craftsmanship of one person in my lifetime that had a woodwork shop but this is out of this world crazy !! A true artist you are sir. A treat to observe your work and thank you 👍

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!

Watching a skilled craftsman create a work of art out of chaos is a therapeutic balm for troubled times.
Extraordinary. Also I found the sound of the tools without music very tranquilizing.
Me 2
It's crazy how some blob of wood could be turned into something so beautiful...
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 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?
Absolutely love that he doesn't edit the videos to be error free! That kind of turning is not for the faint hearted...
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!! 😮
😮JUST INCREDIBLE what man and machine can produce!!!!
THANK YOU for this burl vase project. It came out real nice!

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,
An elegant combination of natural and man-made materials. Congratulations!

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.
Man... that is one wild pieces of wood. It came out gorgeous, what a piece
I find it mesmerising watching the beauty emerge from the raw material. Awesome.
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.
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
Oh my, this is something else! The bits of green are superb too!
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.

My Grandfather loved working with birds-eye maple. I do believe he would have approved of this work of yours. Myself, I'm amazed!
This was one of the finest examples I've seen. Absolutely stunning.
Too bad it lacks symmetry
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
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!!

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.
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.

And the sheer satisfaction of seeing the end result.
So good!🤗
Finally, the algorithm is giving me content relevant to my interests! The vase came out splendid!
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.
A vase, made of wood & glaze. *BEAUTIFUL* 😍

The obvious patience and precision it takes with this particular form of art and the beauty of the finished product is truly remarkable.
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.
I’m utterly speechless at the beauty you create.
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.
Cheers from CO
You do great work, it is really peaceful to watch your videos. Thanks for making them.
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
@@TheArenaGod
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….
So beautiful! The purple is a perfect complement to the color of the wood.
Such an amazingly graceful and beautiful piece! You make the beauty of the wood absolutely sing! Stunning!
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 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!
I found this really calming. My cat, on the other hand, was very excited, especially when the strings of resin were coming off!

The colors in that burl are insane! Awesome job in bringing them out so we can enjoy it!
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.
That is the most beautiful turned wood I have ever seen. Absolutely jaw dropping.

Gorgeous piece, David. How you can turn what looks like a piece of firewood to me into a work of art just amazes me. Gheers!
