    Absolutely stunning mate..well done..love your stuff..always inspiring me.
    Update on the new lathe..i have now bought a steady rest, the coring jig, a hollowing rig and a shed load of carbide tools.
    For the love of god, don't ever meet my wife!!!.....🤣🤣

      You're not the only one that's followed Jim's recommendations for turning tools. Between the Oneway vacuum chuck system and coring system and a couple of the Hunter tools he's recommended, I think I could have bought a new truck. The good news is, they all work as advertised and were worth the investment, but Jim better not meet my wife either.

    I really love the walnut shell faces. I really like all the ones you've done with shells and pinecones and so on. I feel like they have more character because of the way you see them differently (walnut shell "faces," pinecone "flowers," etc.). Such a beautiful piece this week!

  • @AndiWilliams
    @AndiWilliams Год назад +1

    I agree, several of those faces reminded me of The Grinch. Love this piece, Jim. The glow in the dark chips were a neat surprise!

  • @danawrigleywalkingstickand5677
    @danawrigleywalkingstickand5677 Год назад +16

    Definitely one of the wildest pieces you've done. Been anxiously awaiting this since you posted the teaser the other day, and as always it was well worth the wait.
    The nuts kind of look like individual pictures from a CAT scan showing different levels through the skull.

    • @SpragueWoodturning

      Omg right? I thought the same thing about the CT! I named the "creepy" face Creepio, and those are his CT results. ^_^

      Right? What a pairing of two gorgeous burls, and then the walnut sections, and the resin bringing it all together - with a little extra zazz via colour, glow, & sprinkles! And that narrow collar piece is such a beautiful piece made with exemplary skill! (I hope I'm using that word right. Brain fog!)

    Hi Jim, What a great looking 👀 peace of Art, That was a lot of monkeying around 😂 you have got to face 😂it, that took some work.
    I look’s amazing 🤩, 😂. I look 👀 forward to seeing your next project, I did hear 👂 about the fires up in Canada, from a couple that has got a small holding in the USA , they could not go out side for long, as for a lot of smoke 💨, I hope you are all keeping safe and well,

    Another spectacular project, Jim. I like the Designer Epoxy "feature ring" with the walnuts. Some of the facial features remind me of Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice character.

    Man, that's a lot of prep, but was it ever worth it. What a gorgeous piece. And you're absolutely right about the chatoyance.....spectacular! At the risk of sounding redundant, I don't think there's one of your videos that hasn't provided with a tip or good idea. Thanks.

    That's a very nice hollow form, the walnut shells make it unique. I was particularly impressed with how the resin with resin pieces blended with the red resin to eliminate any witness line.

  • @elisecoxhell4139
    @elisecoxhell4139 Год назад

    VERY cool indeed! I agree with another commenter that each walnut shell looks like a slice of a brain scan, which I think works perfectly with the scary faces, the colour scheme, and the general theme. And the burl is truly stunning!
    Thanks Jim, this was a really fun watch!

    Jim. You are sooo creative! It’s so clear that you can see the little picture and the big picture. And you have the tenacity of a bulldog. This piece was waaay, waay cool. The chatoyance was better than awesome! I especially loved that the edges of the two pieces of wood did not match. Worried me for awhile-I was still thinking inside the box. After clawing my way out of the box I saw that everything was going to work. And it did!!!
