    I'm amazed that you can look at raw piece of wood and see what you will turn it into be before you even start to work on it. A true gift. Your videos are very entertaining. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

    Once again you have shown your creativity and love in being a “woodie” I have been watching your videos for a while now, and each just blows my mind. Mother Nature is proud of you ten fold.

    Myrtle is definitely one of my favorites.
    Once I saw both pieces together, I saw an orchid. Now I can’t unsee it.
    Stunning, gorgeous piece of work. I absolutely love it.

    I would give this to my future wife to house her ring, “ just like this wood I want our bond to grow old and blossom into something desirable despite the age” this is what I gather from this video if it were my possession to obtain. You stir emotion with your videos sir without a word “you have a strong positive spirit about you” thank you……..!

    I've seen you make a lot of beautiful stuff, David. I do believe this one tops them all. And perhaps it's just my own prejudice, but I love the fact that no epoxy was used in the making of this masterpiece. Superb!

    Absolutely beautiful wood grain. The finial placed inside is different, I like it.

    • @lindas.8036
      @lindas.8036 6 месяцев назад

      I loved it up until the finial, which I thought looked contrived, extraneous and misplaced and ruined the piece. My opinion only.

  • @kimr5841
    @kimr5841 2 года назад

    That's the kind of project that is terrifying to do. Such a beautiful piece of wood that would be so easy to ruin with one slip. Fortunately you turned this one out beautifully.

    Truly breathtaking, David! Watching you think out, adjust, create, and put on finishing touches to your creations is startling! That you could somehow see the transformation in your mind is beyond me. How does that happen? I’m guessing it’s years of experience plus an assortment of successes and failures along the way. It’s a family gift that’s been passed on for generations…..right?
    Thank you for sharing. It’s given me a bit of new perspective of the world around me…. especially after watching
    the “olive disaster.”
    I’m sure the price tag on these creations is exorbitant, so I’ll just keep on with your videos, of which I’ve only seen two so far! 😊

  • @jamesdaley4967
    @jamesdaley4967 2 года назад +5

    I was holding my breath through most of this because another piece like this flew apart. I'm intrigued trying to guess how you'll release the concept in your mind through your tools on the wood. I'm never disappointed. It makes me miss my sculpting days. Thank you!

    Thanks to you i bought my first lathe during the pandemic and started turning.
    You are my greatest inspiration!

    What a joy it has been to watch your work for the last 2 years. The woodwork, as always, is fantastic. Your attention to detail following the shape and grain is exquisite. Your photography for this piece really took my breath away. The angles, the closeups of the tip of the tool, the depth of field, the sharpness. It wasn't until it was over that I realized your camera and the tool tip took turns shaping the wood. You're a master :). Awesome! Thanks Adam!
