Stunning Tree Root Woodturning Creation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- I was given this Almond tree root ball from a member of my local woodturning club. This is my first attempt at turning a root ball. I was definitely a little nervous about this one, it was the largest and most unbalanced piece I have turned to date. Originally I had planned to not use any resin in this piece, but unfortunately there was no way I was going to be able to hallow it out and have it stay in one piece. I also had a bit of a scare when part of the root caught on the tool rest and broke. I’m sorry I didn’t catch it on camera. It was pretty intense. I set my lathe speed at 450 rpm for the majority of this turning (lowest speed my lathe will go). Only raising it to approximately 600 rpm once the piece was cut and better balanced. I think I lost about an inch of my 5/8” bowl gouge turning this piece due to the constant sharpening. The inside of the root had lots of rocks and dirt that I just couldn’t get to until I turned it down a bit. The simple woodturning carbide tools worked great as always. The Sumi black pigment powder from Eye candy pigments came out amazing and really went well with the grain color of the piece. I finished the piece with Danish oil and polished with carnauba wax. This was by far the most fun I’ve had turning a piece and plan on finding more root balls to turn. The fact every piece is original and one of a kind is what I think makes it so special. Thanks for watching! Hope you have a great day!

I like this idea of duping the description in the comments... borrowing. :)
Thanx. New turner and new sub. Something about the rootball really speaks to me. Not sure why. Maybe you are giving new life to a 'reject' or something. Not sure. Keep up the good work. Going to call my shrink now....
@@johnlivsey4146 haha. I totally agree. It’s basically trash. Would either end up in a landfill or a bonfire. Kinda cool to make something unique and interesting with it. Thanks for watching. Hope you have a great day.
I like turning stuff that shouldn't be turned, in other words, trash 😊. This one turned out great 👍@@squareandlevel
Is this for sale and how much?
As a viewer, I think that the most gnarly, unpromising-looking root balls often result in the most beautiful pieces after epoxy casting and turning. The irregular shape of the original wood often produces the most imaginative and unpredictable final piece.
Well said!
The artisanship that goes into these pieces blows my mind, and erases any skepticism I ever had over the pricing.
Silence is golden..., let the process and art speak for itself! Your work and production is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us. Keep making videos of this standard and quality!
Thank you so much!
Gotta love what an artisan can do with wood! Incredibly beautiful piece! Well done!
Thank you very much!
That turned out so much better than I originally expected. Beautiful piece.
My first thought was my fear of the piece grabbing your tool and pulling your hand into the piece. Something similar happened to me and lost part of my finger. Second thought is the finished piece is amazing and your work will be admired for many years to come. very relaxing watching the process.
Rey nice, looks like an ancient pot that is in perfect shape and ready for display in a museum.
A WINNER, a thing of beauty!!!
Looking through the comments, I guess I'm the only one with my head in the gutter... because at about the seven-forty-five mark, things start to look a little funny. Besides that, like everyone else is saying, this is a nice piece of work.
I actually made an alternate blurred out thumbnail with the exact part you are talking about as a joke. Got a good laugh from some friends. Thanks for watching. I hope you have a wonderful day.

I came to the comments looking for this reply! 😂
wow that is a beautiful piece of art way to go!!!...........Larry USA
Extraordinary skill. I was transfixed for the whole process.
Wow! Glad you kept up with that after the piece broke off. That thing is gorgeous
Thanks! Hope you have a great day!
You are an artist and I love the smell of wood
Me too! I went into a wood turners shop on the west coast of Tasmania many years ago, he had a lot of Huon Pine, and worked in the back, so the smell was intoxicating, my husband had to coax me out, I think I was high for the rest of the day.
You have created a beautiful piece of art! ❤
Excellent work. Beautiful result!
Thank you very much!
Oh boy. I've never seen your shop this dirty 😊. First class work as always sir.
Haha. It’s still a mess. Deep cleaning time this weekend. Thanks for watching. Hope you have a great day!
Gorgeous!
Thank you! 😊
Magificant! Beautiful. Marvelous work!
Thanks John! Have a good one!
I love the contrast - beautiful !! 👍 from 🇨🇦
Fabulous! I love the black with the orange and red tones of the wood. Great job. 👍
Thank you so much. I appreciate the kind words. I hope you have a wonderful day!
Scott
Man look at that lathe shake rattle and roll!!! Beautiful piece, Scott!
Thanks Glen. It's really not good that the lathe is shaking so much, but that's the slowest setting mine runs at. Thanks for watchinf mate! Hope you have a good one!
Absolutely gorgeous
Thank you! 😊
I’m in awe!😮
I like the black, I use a lot of coffee grounds in my turning.
Ha! I didn't know anyone else did that!
@@davidhunt7519 lol, I really like the color and tone, smells good too
Sorry for late response. I’m intrigued by this idea and am most likely going to “barrow” it. Haha. Curious if you have any rough ratios you go by for coffee/resin. You’ve convinced me with the “smells good”comment.
Didn’t know that was possible but I’m trying it.
What a beautiful natures art this artist found and made . all my reaspect for you. thank you for let us see such a beauty.
Man that's beautiful. Whenever I mess with a root ball I usually break out the pressure washer and blast away all the dirt and rocks. Works great and all the mess is outside.
Did that twice before I started. Still full of rocks and dirt. These roots were wrapped so tight the stuff just wouldn’t come out. Thanks for watching. Hope you have a great day!
That's true. You can blast the outside all day long and then 7/8th of an inch in after 3 min of turning... there's a rock. 😢
You look like if Jim Carrey got into woodworking. Cool project!
Very impressive, quite the job there !!!!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful Vase Scott, what a challenge!!! You did amazing, great work

Phil , that vase is beautiful, I can't believe that came out of that piece of wood.
Thank you, but who is Phil? Hope you have a great day!
La finale est magnifique le bois et une matière noble bravo félicitation pour ce que vous faites 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Simply remove what is not part of the piece. Gotta admire a guy who can see and think in 3d.
So nice to look at.
Absolutely beautiful!!
Gorgeous!
Absolutely wonderful keep it up.
Truly beautiful - made me think of antiquities - like you'd find in a pyramid.
Awesome!
It’s gorgeous!
All I can say is"WOW".

That’s beautiful.

All I can just beautiful keep up the good work
New subscriber . .That was very impressive, never turned a root before. Think I will wait awhile before I try. I will be closely watching your channel in future. Keep it up.
Thanks John. I’m definitely going to try and find more. That was by far the most interesting bit of turning I’ve done. Thanks for watching. I hope you have a great day!
I live in Frisco Texas where storms regularly uproot large trees. There's a huge Lacebark Elm root I'd love to give to someone to turn.
Beautiful 😊
Looks good.
Well done .
Very nice indeed and a good length of video too! Some people like to talk more and make the video more about them then their turning 🙂
Absolutely amazing so very cool great job
Thanks Jim. Hope you have a great day!
Thanks hope you have a great day also. Loving your wood turning stuff looks awesome . Keep up the great job
Stunning

Wow ,,,Stunning!
Had dinner with your in-laws Tuesday night and we're all in agreement regarding your skill and creativity as a craftsman and artist!!!!!!!
Thanks Nick. Think I have a ways to go on the whole artist thing. It sure is fun though. Appreciate you taking the time as always. Hope to see you soon. Have a good one !
Beautiful
That's so amazing

Absolutely gorgeous! Fantastic work on what I would have thrown out to burn!!
You have great talent and a creative vision!!
Thank you so much!
Yep, got a like from me. A very interesting video and I thank you for sharing 🌞
Beautiful x
What do you do with the shavings that have the epoxy in them? I normally put my shavings out as mulch around the trees, but wouldn't do that with epoxy for obvious reasons.
I am curious to see your method of reuse or disposal.
Thanks for another great video.
Boy, oh boy! That was one screwed up, pot bound tree! What type of wood was it? I used to dabble in marquetry and loved all the types of veneer available. I just loooove wood! This is like polishing a raw opal. You can’t wait to see what you uncover. It’s magnificent!!!!❤. From junk to jewels!
Amazing is right, thanks for sharing. Full View and Like 👍
Thank you too!👍
Nicely Done Brother! I would imagine it took a lot of effort to make this one happen.
Thanks! It did for sure, but well worth it. This was a fun one. Hope you have a good one!
