I really wanted to see the glow! It's one of *THE MOST* AMAZING pieces I've *EVER* seen in my life! I've just subscribed due to this piece!!! WELL DONE! SIMPLY OUTSTANDING!!! 👍
Oh my goodness Jim, you are so like me, always self doubting. But wow what a winner you have here, it is absolutely stunning. Worth the two year wait for the commissioner.
I'm kind of a junky for these burled wood epoxy pieces, and this may be the most gorgeous thing I've seen. The way the burl curves up like those ... moose antler coral shapes! You've got real vision and creativity.
The burl in this piece along with the multicolor tops make the burl appear to be fan coral. This is definitely one of your best pieces that I have seen. Great job sir. 🧡
This one isn't a bowl...it just happens to be bowl shaped! The thumbnail is spectacular. RUclips should have a thumbnail contest! I may have mentioned this before because I think you've mentioned Bob Ross before but I was part of the crew that produced The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross. This piece would have made him smile because you spent 2 hours painting it (was it a joy?). Bob would say it would be a great place for some happy little fishies to live because it does look like ocean water and coral. Unbelievable! He might have given you a hard time for taking 2 hours. He'd have 4 landscapes leaning against the studio wall in that time! But hey, he painted thousands of landscapes so I'll cut you some slack! So, how ya' gonna top this one? I don't doubt you will...not a bit! BTW, I've commented for weeks and forgotten to mention the new microphone every time. I noticed the difference right away. Good investment because it sounds fantastic. You now have the entire package, great video, great audio, a fantastic personality and of course, amazing talent! That hour seemed like 15 minutes! 😊
That’s so cool that you worked on the Joy of Painting. Is it true that he was retired from the Air Force as a Master Chief? He was so mild mannered I find it hard to believe he was in the military, haha. Thanks for your kind comments! This one will be hard to beat!
Absolutely stunning! Not only did you bring the beauty of the burl out, but you were able to highlight areas that most people would miss. Great creativity!
I can't believe I am saying this but I believe that the peacock bowl has been defeated. I couldn't imagine loving anything more and then you posted this amazing creation. It is absolutely gorgeous. I do believe that it genuinely reflects the coral reef concept.
I had to watch this one again. I do that quite often, wish I could hit the like button more than once. I think it would’ve been beautiful even without the colors on top, because the look of burl is also beautiful. But this is so so so beautiful. Definitely one of my favorites.
I've only been watching your channel for a few days now. Love your work, but this one is my favorite so far. Absolutely beautiful!! Or should I say Burltiful! 😂😁👍🏼
You definitely have out done yourself Mr. Sprague! You never disappoint with any of your skills and final pieces. You certainly are an artist/woodworker that can’t be compared with. Amazing piece.
It turned out awesome. Jim definitely looks like a coral reef and the way the burl fans out it looks like the sponges or the natural coral fans. The glow in the dark paint looks awesome, so pretty! Love this bowl!
Very cool. The Designer Epoxy colors really do give it a reef look. The glow in the dark is a bonus, but what I think is an additional piece of beauty is that when looking at the side of the burl, the rays of the grain and the shape of the wood give the appearance of a clam shell that’s been rolling around in the sea for a while. Excellent piece.
Jim you really hit it out of the park with this gem. Your "ocean" was so cool I expected little tropical fish to start showing up. Fantastic overall with the reef colors. Rotating shots at the end were breath taking with lights. Good job and keep the videos coming.
Absolutely the best bowl I have seen on the turning pages ever!! WOW JIM!!! MASTER WOOD TURNER!! THANK YOU SIR, MAY I HAVE ANOTHER!! I am finally going to spend the money on cactus juice, and some marbles, and some rice and some flow in the dark!!! WOW!!!
OMGoodness...what a spectacular piece! I so love how you take the viewers through all phases of production...the good and the bad! I've turned very few projects but certainly appreciate the 'rocky' road one can take to get to the finish line. I love burl and you are such a master at making them 'shine'...thank you Jim ♥
Wow!... Just Wow! Words fail me (in a very good way) That is one stunningly beautiful piece of art. You never cease to amaze us Jim, and long may it continue! 🤩😎👍
i feel like every week i say this is my favorite piece you’ve ever done but you really leveled up this time 🤯 this one is jaw dropping. i love that the leftover lip from the cole jaws inspired a design adjustment. i also love that mold making is a skill you have to hone in right alongside casting and turning haha
when you were showing the glow-in-the-dark resin, the glowing edges of the cork looked like the coast line of continents. Thank you for an entertaining and informative video.
I loved listening in on your self-talk in this one! This is my third time watching it - for the talk and for the gorgeous bowl!! But: “Burl Killer,” “This is either the ugliest thing or …,” “What are you doing?!” “I can hear my wife now saying ‘You’re putting it on too thick,’” “Burl Purgatory”!!! Gold! Absolute gold!! Because it turned out really cool!!!!!! Don’t ever change the style of these videos - they are wonderful, relaxing, educational, really cool, and absolutely charming!
Your absolutely right about capturing the color of the ocean. An amazing piece of art. 👍 one day I hope to be able to purchase one of your pieces of fantastic art. Keep em coming. I'm a huge fan of yours. Here in CA. USA. 🇨🇦 👍 🇺🇸
You must have a really good woman for a wife! Her oven, in the house...Stinking up her house... You still lived to do it again in the future 😮 Sometimes the artist really needs a lot of love. We don't usually think of how much family support helps them be the people we love to watch
I am absolutely mesmerized with your pieces!! To be able to take a chunk of wood and turn it into a stunning depiction of a coral 🪸 reef, one of God's most beautiful creations! Is such a gift!! You should have an art gallery full of your work!! Your ability to take wood and epoxy and meld them together, as well as your gift with colors and sculpting. Oh I forgot your natural ability to find, build, engineer whatever ever you need to accomplish your vision is amazing!! Now your video's bring joy to us as we are able to experience an artist at work!! ...by the way I love Bob Ross too!! His happy little trees!! Thank you 😊!!
Bravo! I was so impressed with your work , but then I saw it glow!!! It brought tears to my eyes! You are my favorite resin artist. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
One more question about this one...why did you have to do the stabilizing on this one, and what exactly is that? I'm assuming it was a method of extracting air from the wood, but what does that cactus juice stuff do?
Yes, I cringed and commented several times to my husband, “I’ve got to see this to the end “. So glad I did. It is really lovely.
Thank you very much!
😊✨️"Happy Wife ,Happy Life !

I’ll be honest, I was side eyeing you during the first half of this video. But when I saw the finished product…wow!! Love it!
I had the same feeling. Thanks
Brave Man using your wife's oven! :) Great project
Always! Lol. Thanks
I was not optimistic about those colors, but I was soooo wrong. Turned out amazing.
Thank you very much!
The person that gets this bowl is one fortunate person!
Thank you very much!
Funny, didn't notice the length of the video till you mentioned it
So entertained I didn't notice the time passing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks

I've just subscribed due to this piece!!!
WELL DONE!

Me too!
Oh my goodness Jim, you are so like me, always self doubting. But wow what a winner you have here, it is absolutely stunning. Worth the two year wait for the commissioner.
Thanks so much!
It’s more like a giant clam and when it glows it fills my imagination,thankyou
Absolutely, thanks!
Worthy of an art museum.
Thank you so much!
I'm kind of a junky for these burled wood epoxy pieces, and this may be the most gorgeous thing I've seen. The way the burl curves up like those ... moose antler coral shapes! You've got real vision and creativity.
Thank you very much!
It's a winner. Had my doubts at firstborn I stuck it out and was pleasantly surprised. This is frickin AWESOME!
Thank you so much!
The burl in this piece along with the multicolor tops make the burl appear to be fan coral. This is definitely one of your best pieces that I have seen. Great job sir. 🧡
Thank you very much!
My wife and I have been binge-watching your videos. So far. This is our favorite. Love all the colors and translucent look! So cool!
Awesome! Thank you!
Stunning bowl. Looks like a clam opened up in the clear blue ocean waters
Thank you very much!
That is freaking STUNNING!!!! If the person who that was made for doesn't like it, I will gladly take it instead. That is AMAZING!!!!
He loves it. Thanks
You see a vision in your mind and you create it with your hands and your heart. Absolutely beautiful piece!
Thank you so much 😊
You hit the underwater feel amazingly well.
Thank you very much!
What the heck did I just witness, a blooming miracle of art. What wizardry is this. So beautiful 😍
Thank you!

Loved, The Joy of Painting! Bob Ross was very calming.
Wow. To quote the old man from A Christmas Story "It's indescribably beautiful!".
Thanks!
Beautiful BEAUTIFUL work...and the explanations and narrative such a pleasure to witness. Love this bowl! Thank you Jim!
Thank you very much!
I can see the ocean, but it almost look like opal as well. Beautiful.
It does! Thanks
I liked the live broadcast so much that here I am watching it again I'm still awed by how beautiful that bowl is
Thank you so much 😀
Absolutely stunning! Not only did you bring the beauty of the burl out, but you were able to highlight areas that most people would miss. Great creativity!
Thank you very much!
Absolutely beautiful piece of art. The glowing edges make the burl look alive, like its still growing. Outstanding.
Thank you very much!
W❤W!!! This is gorgeous!!!
I Have To Agree... Great Piece!...A Very Beautiful Bowl!....With The Variations!Of Designer Epoxy Color Paint Combinations! With The Unique Wood Bark!
Thank you so much 😀
This piece is simply breath taking! The burl, to me, looks like a clam shell which makes it look even more like coral.
Totally, thanks!
The way the burl just came alive when you put the gloss on... just wow! This is absolutely stunning!
Thank you very much!
I can't believe I am saying this but I believe that the peacock bowl has been defeated. I couldn't imagine loving anything more and then you posted this amazing creation. It is absolutely gorgeous. I do believe that it genuinely reflects the coral reef concept.
I totally agree! Thanks
I’m a sucker for burl, this piece is GORGEOUS!love the colors you chose, they worked fantastically! Another great video!
Thank you very much!
I had to watch this one again. I do that quite often, wish I could hit the like button more than once. I think it would’ve been beautiful even without the colors on top, because the look of burl is also beautiful. But this is so so so beautiful. Definitely one of my favorites.
Thank you so much!
I must say, you outdid yourself! This is an incredible piece, no burl hell for you, quite the opposite, epoxy heaven!!!
Thanks!
I've only been watching your channel for a few days now. Love your work, but this one is my favorite so far. Absolutely beautiful!! Or should I say Burltiful! 😂😁👍🏼
Welcome aboard! Thanks
Such a beautiful transition from OH MY GOSH!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!! To, I can't believe how beautiful it is!!! Awesome job!
Thank you so much!!
You definitely have out done yourself Mr. Sprague! You never disappoint with any of your skills and final pieces. You certainly are an artist/woodworker that can’t be compared with. Amazing piece.
Thank you so much!
The grain in the burl is really popping. This piece really does resemble an underwater coral reef.
Thank you very much!
It's beautiful.
Thank you! 😊
When you started I thought it looked like a mess but at the end it's one of my favorites you've done. I would've never thought of doing what you did.
Thank you very much!
As a former aquarist, I particularly enjoyed the imagery this piece has.
Thanks 😊
It turned out awesome. Jim definitely looks like a coral reef and the way the burl fans out it looks like the sponges or the natural coral fans. The glow in the dark paint looks awesome, so pretty! Love this bowl!
It does! Thanks 😊
I knew it was going to be spectacular from the first glimpse of that shell shaped burl, and you didn't disappoint! Absolute perfection 🤩
Thank you very much!
The artist makes the decisions on his own work because he is the artist.
Thank you very much!
That is such a gorgeous bowl! New sub here. Been watching some of your videos lately. You do such amazing work. Love your artistry.
Thanks and welcome!
Just amazing. Your creativity is what draws so many to your channel. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Stunning! It looks like an ancient petrified clam turned to smoke under the black light.
Totally, thanks!
Very cool. The Designer Epoxy colors really do give it a reef look. The glow in the dark is a bonus, but what I think is an additional piece of beauty is that when looking at the side of the burl, the rays of the grain and the shape of the wood give the appearance of a clam shell that’s been rolling around in the sea for a while. Excellent piece.
I would agree, thanks!
I was thinking the same thing. The wood looks like a clam shell! So cool!
@@catherine7393 x m I m ffxcc

A stunning meld of beautiful nature, manmade material and a set of hard earned skills. An absolute heirloom for lucky Jim to treasure!

Thank you very much!
Just a beautiful peace of work love it so much

Love the Bob Ross comment. “Just let it go and be”. Maybe we need a happy little underwater tree?
Yup. Lol
Wow….. That piece is incredible!!!
Imagine a few goldfish swimming around inside of it!
Thank you very much!
JIM THAT IS SUCH A GREAT BOWL, THE COLORS ARE AWESOME. FROM DOUG
Thanks!
when you were showing the glow-in-the-dark resin, the glowing edges of the cork looked like the coast line of continents. Thank you for an entertaining and informative video.
Thank you! Cheers!
This is absolutely gorgeous! The gentleman who commissioned this is very fortunate!
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
Dint worry about hate mail. People are jealous because you can do such wonderful work and they can't
Thanks very much!
This is so beautiful. It's an absolute masterpiece. Seeing it glow in the dark was mesmerising.
Thank you very much!
Soooooo beautiful!!!!
Thank you very much!
Your absolutely right about capturing the color of the ocean. An amazing piece of art. 👍 one day I hope to be able to purchase one of your pieces of fantastic art. Keep em coming. I'm a huge fan of yours. Here in CA. USA. 🇨🇦 👍 🇺🇸
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
It absolutely looks like a coral reef!!! Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks again!
I would love to spend a week or two in your shop and learn how to do what you do. Your lathe projects are the best on RUclips.
Wow, thanks!
That's the most beautiful bowl I've ever seen. You, sir, are very talented.
Thank you very much!
You must have a really good woman for a wife! Her oven, in the house...Stinking up her house...
You still lived to do it again in the future 😮
Sometimes the artist really needs a lot of love. We don't usually think of how much family support helps them be the people we love to watch
She’s a good woman! Thanks
I LOVE IT!!! I expect to see fish swimming by! You've earned gold stars for sure - or a gold medal!!!
Thank you!
You definitely got the look of coral in your bowl. The wood looks like a clam shell from the side. You got the whole ocean theme tops!!!
Thank you very much!
I am absolutely mesmerized with your pieces!! To be able to take a chunk of wood and turn it into a stunning depiction of a coral 🪸 reef, one of God's most beautiful creations! Is such a gift!! You should have an art gallery full of your work!! Your ability to take wood and epoxy and meld them together, as well as your gift with colors and sculpting.

Wow, thanks you very much! Much appreciated!
This one, the 90K giveaway, and the peacock 3.0 are my new top three
It’s a close one for me too. Thanks
Bravo! I was so impressed with your work , but then I saw it glow!!! It brought tears to my eyes! You are my favorite resin artist. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Thank you so much 😀
WoW so much depth when u turned the lights out, It made it look like real coral
Thanks so much!
Well, this is the third time I've watched this one!! I can't get over how gorgeous it turned out!
One more question about this one...why did you have to do the stabilizing on this one, and what exactly is that? I'm assuming it was a method of extracting air from the wood, but what does that cactus juice stuff do?
I cover it in this video. Thanks ruclips.net/video/Xg1W6OossUA/видео.html
Beautiful, it looks just like part of The Great Barrier Reef, and the glow in the dark looks like algae at night.💜💜
I think so too! Thank you very much!
Beautiful, uniquely wonderful. Thanks again for sharing your art. To get a positive reaction from the one you love hits straight to the heart & soul❤
Thank you very much!
Your bowl is absolutely spectacular ❤. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed watching!! From a fellow Canadian❤
Thanks so much! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
