The Wedding Gift!

- Congratulations to Helen and Forrister, for whom this piece was a commissioned wedding gift!
Located in the backwoods of Maine, this cherry burl was attached to a tree that was standing dead for what might have been decades before I was lucky enough to find it. Not surprisingly, this burl included plenty of punky and rotten wood, which required the stabilizing and void-filling prowess of Total Boat's finest. The vase itself was made to the specifications requested by the customer, which included the use of resin to waterproof both the inside and outside of the vase. Resin finishes are one of the more painstaking and time-consuming finishes, but if you're going for shiny you can't be disappointed!

When my husband told me he commissioned this piece, I was dubious. I did not really know the newlyweds home decor.
I was never more wrong!
When we took it out of the box, I wanted to keep it.
Anyone blessed with vision can see the wizardry at work here. Absolutely mesmerizing.
Thank you, David. Keep making art ❤️
Thank you so much, Pamela!

I missed my life’s calling. Absolute Artistry in action.
What an exquisite work of art! A unique and priceless piece of beauty for a couple beginning a new life together in love. May this one-of-a-kind gift bring them a happy, safe, long and fulfilling life and family of joy and wonderful memories to always treasure.
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
Anyone else find this just relaxing, almost therapeutic to watch ?
🖐
Very yes.
YEP!! YEP!!!YEP!!
Yes, I get quite mesmerised
Your one of a kind wedding gift is a masterpiece. Any couple would love to receive your handmade art piece. You worked so carefully and skillfully to design it just perfect. As an artist myself, I can admire the beauty that you brought out of the piece of wood. Truly, it's very unique and lovely.
This is so beautiful! Not enough words to describe how beautiful. I can’t even imagine how many hours were put into creating this piece of art!
BRO!!! Your art is so HYPNOTIZING, that I lose track of time!!! That wedding gift looks like you chopped a wood, glass and marble tree down and created BEAUTIFUL ART!!! Thank you for posting!!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you!
What young couple would not love to have this as a gift? It’s amazing. Would be a family treasure.
Had no clue I needed a wooden vace until I saw this😍
WOW! How beautiful. If I hadn't seen this video, I would never have realized how this was made. Super interesting. Also, the video itself is a work of art. You have edited and compressed time for the viewer nicely. I don't know how many days it actually took to produce the lovely piece, but the video is a secondary work. Nicely done, all around!
I agree 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💯💯💯
Until I began to view these I would.d not have considered that mixing natural wood with resin could look so amazing.
Watched, and still don't understand. 😘
The vision to see the final piece when still in its raw state, the craftsmanship, the understanding of chemistry, the artistic sense, the skill, the equipment, the clean up... Everything about this process and the artist is astounding.
this is the type of work most people dream of having. I honestly cant believe you were able to make this with your own two hands...
im honestly speechless at the finished product man very well done
Helen and Forrister are two very lucky people to have received their very first, stunning work of art by David Adamsen. It's always fortunate to have in their ownership a certain 'special something' to remember a 'once-in-a-lifetime' special day with...one that will bring them special memories for the rest of their lives. And indeed, what a truly 'special something' it is. Just look at it! OMG!!! Congratulations to the happy couple and cherish this magnificent gift always because it was created from David's heart!
I was initially concerned with the intensity and amount of red pigment you used and expected it to look like a candy apple! The result was really unexpected and very beautiful with that thick glossy finish. Gorgeous work, David.
Thanks Lucy!
Шедевр . Высшая похвала мастеру и художнику . Такое чувство цвета и пропорций . Мой восторг творцу который дал тебе этот дар .❤❤❤
Nothing better than to receive a hand made, one-of-a-kind piece of art as a gift. It's beautiful!
This would be a sweet gift.
David, you out did yourself on this one. Absolutely Beautiful and a great wedding gift!
Thanks John!
David your work is not only enjoyable to watch, it's MESMERIZING! watching your gifted hands and imagination! Thank you!
dude, I don’t know who you are but you’re extremely talented. What a beautiful piece of woodworking. Thank you for showing us how you did that you again are truly talented.
Finished product is mesmerizing! Handcrafted gifts are more precious than store bought ones, imo. 🤩
Thanks Julie!
Especially when the creator is 'Uncle David'…
😱😱😱😱.....what blessed friends!!! Such an amazing wedding gift.....a true labor of love from an extremely talented artisan!!!
Thank you, Danielle!
It looks so magical, and the colors make me think of those ancient greek vases that tell stories, which is very fitting for a gift for a couple just starting their own story together :)
You are so right! 😍
Absolutely beautiful. Museum quality. What a gift you have. Watching videos like this, are some of my favorite. Layer by layer, you see a piece of wood be transferred into art. I'm blown away💜🙏💐
Beautiful piece David! Often when taking a stroll in my neck of the woods in Maine, I see parts of trees or limbs on the ground, and try to imagine what could be made with them. My imagination is nothing compared to yours! I see "bowl"...you make art. Congrats to Helen & Forrister, and I am looking forward to your 200k sub special coming soon!!
Thanks! I hadn’t thought about doing a 200k special thought. Maybe at some point, thought this latest vid is as close to a milestone video release as I’m gonna get. 🫠
David…you did such an amazing job with that cherry burl!!!… I could tell that it was very punky wood, an glad to see you using the wood stabilizer on it, along with the epoxy which will really make it very durable. Fantastic finish job you did also. Truly a beautiful piece my friend. 👍👍
Thank you, John!
In the long history of wedding gifts, this one has to be one of the nicest. I would consider marrying again if marriage came with a gift like this.
I'd rather buy the beautiful piece for myself, and skip ever getting married again (this from an ex-wife's POV after being married to a pervert (unknown, or I'd never have done it!)).
Truly beautiful. A one-of-a-kind work of art that deserves to be front and center on any mantelpiece. A family heirloom.
Whenever I feel stressed, I watch your videos and find peace. You are so skillful, and I appreciate how you let your art speak for itself. Such beautiful work.
Thank you Jessica!
Great comment…watching this was like meditation
I have been watching lathe work videos for relaxation for awhile now. This craftsman did not disappoint.
just beautiful, and thank you for not seeing dead trees as ust so much litter, lots of fun things can be going inside
Thank you, Celeste!
Gorgeous piece. What an artist you are and with such skill and precision.
Just incredible, thank you for doing what you do, and sharing that with the rest of us! Much peace and love
So utterly beautiful. The shape, the grain and the added lustre from the form of the resin. However it only could have been improved with the inclusion of gold flakes. That would have made it so much more special.
You are a master craftsman and I wish you and your partner a long and happy life together.
Much love to you both from Australia xxx
Thanks Neil!
What can I say that hasn't been already said? Nothing! Well done David, you've blown my socks off again :-)
Well turned!
Thanks Bryan!
Definitely a master piece. After all this work I hope that the couple deserve this masterpiece!
I just watched this video again and I must say, this is the most beautiful piece of woodturning I’ve ever seen! It’s sooo beautiful! ❤
Absolutely stunning can't stop looking at it😊
One of my favorite things is when you use resin and start turning the piece with the resin on it, and it just makes these messy strings that go everywhere lol "whee!!"
Your hands are blessed and you make the most beautiful pieces. Thank you for sharing your gift with everyone.
Absolutely beautiful! When I saw the combination of epoxy colors I wasn’t sure I was going to like the selection, but after seeing the finished project, I wouldn’t change a thing.
Thanks Brenda!
Omg that piece is stunning! What a gift, I would treasure that forever. Beautiful! ❤️
This is absolutely stunning !just wow an amazing piece.Thank you for sharing your talent with us all.
That would have to be in the middle of the room to be appreciated all the way around. A masterpiece of nature and craftsmanship.
Actually i found your channel in feed . watched every video and subscribed too!! that encourages my grandfather ( he's a professional in this field) when i showed your videos he's like WOW!! what a great work
Someone that knows his craft well! Absolutely beautiful.
The beauty of the finished piece goes BEYOND BEAUTIFUL. Fantastic !!
I don't think I've seen a better match of resin colors with the natural wood tone, and I have watched a lot of wood and resin videos! Really beautiful work.
I’m torn choosing which of your works are best, wood or hybrids everything turns out so well. This is such a beautiful piece, I envy those who are getting as a gift. Well done!
Thanks Dave!
Absolutely stunning!
Absolutely gorgeous
The Couple got lucky twice; a beautiful, generous gift.
That is absolutely gorgeous gorgeous Piece! I don’t know who’s getting married but at times like this when I say such things I wish it was me. I sure hope you put your name on it because that is absolutely a gift one cannot forget
Thanks Melinda!
I Love this channel. Watching the resin fly everywhere 🎉it’s like a party 🥰. And you are incredibly talented. To watch you work is a pleasure 💜
Thank you so much!

Man if you can get you a black backdrop for picture and video taking and cut down on the glare, this piece and pieces like it will really set off and look absolutely stunning!
Just my thoughts on maybe a small investment for future pieces.
Thanks for your content
That's just gorgeous.
I'd get divorced and remarried again just to get that for a wedding gift !!!
Thank you, but please don’t! 🤣
Hey, isn't that what Homer did with Marge?
“You can keep the kids, I want the vase.”
That’s a good one! Great laugh!
HAAAAAAHAAAHAAAAAA!!!! I'M WITH YOU!!!!
Speechless. What an extraordinary piece. Thanks for sharing.
Priceless gift. There are no words for it's beauty and your craftsmanship.
LOOK what you did! God provided the wood, and you created something for all time and eternity 🙏🏼. From Gods hand to your hands…..you are a special human being……that is simply Gorgeous! Just gorgeous! Thank you with all my heart.
There aren't many things in this world that I truly covet, but this would be one of them. Such beautiful art.
Another stunning work of art. Thank you for sharing!
I wasn’t sure I was liking the vase until I saw it finished. WOW! It’s beautiful. I would love to have it myself. I enjoyed watching your very skilled turning.
Amazed by the skill and talent on full display for all to see. Can't process how one person can have this must talent.
Gorgeous piece of artwork!
That is absolutely gorgeous!! I'd love to receive something that beautiful! I enjoyed watching this video. Thank you.
Beautiful wood grain and epoxy finish and the craftsmanship is amazing
Stunning work.
I haven't even finished the video and I'm already impressed. Lots of epoxy flying around the room, chisels blazing , and this lathe is churning. What a helluva creative idea with the Boat Epoxy and red coloring . Yah gotta say, this guy is pretty dang creative and welds a big chisel. Nice job man, Nice Job!!!!
Thanks Craig!
I look for your beautiful work at least once a month. This was breathtaking. What an honor to get such a wedding gift! Amazing!
The finished piece of art is equal to your masterful execution of all the steps taken to make it so. Thank you for the inspiration.
Simply, a thing of beauty.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 All I can say .... you don't know until you know...I have a deeper appreciation for quality wood crafting 💜
Another amazing job David! Im sure the recipients are overjoyed with their gift! 😊❤👍
Your work is so beautiful! There's something about how you shape them that reminds me of throwing pots, just as soothing and meditative as you work with your hands.
Beautiful! So much time, technical knowledge and skill, and artistic vision went into creating this piece. Just wow!
If I was given that as a "Wedding Gift", it would be my VERY FAVORITE!!!!
David,
Totally stunning this is an amazing vase. You are a master in all respects of wood turning.

The first thing I will tell you is that I love when you combine resin with wood. Together with its brightness and the colors you choose to dye it, gives in your work an extra point of beauty. In addition, your fabulous vessels remind me of those seen in the ruins of Rome and Greece. impeccable work . 👍🌹🌹
Gorgeous!
