Woodturning: The Root Burl!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 фев 2025
- There were so many ways to orient this unique piece of Manzanita root burl on the lathe, and I had originally intended not to use epoxy resin. However, when it was clear that I could not achieve the shape I was going for without losing too much of the character from this wood, I had to bite the bullet, as they say, and throw this piece into some delicious plastic.
Let me know what you think of this piece by leaving a comment below! I read all of them and respond to as many as I can.
Thanks to Total Boat for the thickset epoxy! This stuff worked wonders and did not crack, even though I poured almost 3 liters of resin and a 7 inch deep pour. I never had to fill a single crack with filler or CA glue (discount/affiliate link below).

I’m always blown away at what people are able to find hidden inside wood & stone. The shapes have always been there, waiting for the right person to come along & show it to everyone else.
Thanks Rob!
I firmly believe that you are half correct. David did a great job with this piece, better than anything that I could hope to do, but I don't believe that there is only ONE "right person" for that root burl. I think that any talented artisan/craftsman who owned that root burl would be the "right person" and would bring out their own unique vision of beauty from it. Let's say the multiverse is real and infinite. If that root was handed to a different artisan/craftsman in each universe, or even if it was handed to the David of each universe, a different yet beautiful piece will be produced in each case. That's one of the great things about creativity... it has NO LIMITS. If David was handed an identical root burl I doubt that he would want to create a second urn/vase that mirrored what he had already created. Where would the fun be in that? Anyway, I don't know much, but I know that have never wanted to duplicate something that I have already created.
Great job David.
That looks amazing. It almost looks like a map of a different planet with a black sea. So cool.
Love that description!!
@@cassandrareyna2947 i was thinking of an old greek map like papyrus or something lol
Yea it does!
@@nikechecks8541 It's genuinely frowned upon to promote your channel on other peoples channel. A lot of people wont look at it just out of spite.
@@nikechecks8541 There's no real fast track method. Stick to the grind by making videos, following trends (Doing things that are popular in the area you want to focus on), search for similar interests on reddit and the like and promote there. Stuff like that.
I love how the small cracks in the wood ended up looking like tiny rivers on a globe. Your choice of resin colors was perfect.
Поздравления за упоритостта и търпението, майстора си е майстор!
Spoilers dude
there is no globe, but hypothetically speaking yes I see what you are saying and the vase looks incredible no doubt
Every time I watch one of these, I am reminded of Kilmer: "Only God can make a tree", and I think, yes but David Adamsen can make it more beautiful. Fabulous partnership.
Hi, I live in Iran, almost until six to seven years ago, when for some reason I had to quit my job. I am both a woodcarver and a carpenter. The smell of wood, the smell of wood turning, the smell of resin, how does it feel, hand art is really indescribable, I congratulate this artist and wish him success.👌👌👌👏👏👏

The best thing is, that it's unique. The design will never be the same if another was made. Beautiful work of art.
you could say....
it's Non-fungible
The grain in wood never makes an aesthetic mistake.
To bad a unique man is worthless without money
Agreed
Except it definitely could be
Manzanita grows wild all over Northern California, it's one of the hardest bushes / trees to pull out of the ground that anyone has ever seen. My father used a 200 ton excavator and almost pulled the excavator over while trying to remove a root from one.
When I saw it was Manzanita, i raised my eyebrows, because i know how tough that stuff is!
That is probably the most beautiful woodturning piece I have ever seen. Stunning work.
Riveting and stunning merger! The spirit of the burl was not sacrificed to the plastic. Hope to see more, this was a masterclass in wood turning
i can't stop laughing imagining the dog in your picture reading this comment in a silly cartoon dog voice
The spirit of a root chunk?
Hey! Did you know God is three in one!? The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit! Bless him!
Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him! True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better!
Have a blessed day, everyone! ❤
Your worries (yes, anxiety), depression, suicidal thoughts, EVERYTHING will melt away and be NO MORE when you lean on God and put your trust in him! When I have physical pain, I literally pray and the Lord quells it, that I am healed!
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! People are bothered by his name. The world hates the truth and wants to continue living sinfully! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous.
Agreed, they look great together! The colors remind me of a Grecian urn.
Only after watching this can someone really appreciate what goes into some thing like this, truly amazing craft and most beautiful work.
Это ЭКСКЛЮЗИВ!!!В руках мастера бесполезный и безобразный кусок корня превращается в шедевр!БРАВО!
Полностью согласен
Beauty is all about the creator and who values it! So as humanity, you are a masterpiece, someone only need to explore it out from you
Hello Caroline, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
I don’t know anything about turning or lathes but that was soothing, fascinating, and produced such a gorgeous piece. Thank you, and thank you algorithm for recommending this.

Same
Agreed.
Yeah
The Algorithm was strong on this 1
Even if we skip the rest of mastery, just the level of finishing, this superb balance of discrete shine, depth, colour, texture and bumpiness, leaves you in awe.
"Superb balance of discrete shine" what an articulation
Save Bangladeshi people 😥. Pls pray for them🤲

This carpenter has amazing skill, I can't stop watching it's almost mesmerizing. It's so satisfying to watch.
I'm not even into this kind of stuff, but I still couldn't stop watching. This is an amazing display of talent.
I was about to comment about how satisfying it was to watch myself!
He's a wood turner
Agree
David, I watched your work in amazement. It was truly satisfying. You are such a creative and innovative person. The vase you made is gorgeous. The professional skills you display are great. Nice to see a real professional at work:) .give us more such vidoes
I would not have believed that georgeous vase was hidden inside that disaster of a root cluster had I not just seen your video! The texture, patterning Ang grain of the wood is marvelous and the resin sets it off beautifully! The last thing I turned on a lathe was in the early 60's in middle school woodworking class!
The colors that came from that root once it was all polished were just gorgeous.
Absolutely gorgeous. This is the mark of a true artist.
Main artist here is mother nature but yes. Excellent work.
Algum pobre faz isso? Bando de hipócrita!
I jsut told my boyfriend out loud (who sent me this video bc he knows im into these) "this is hitting all the right spots, it has glitter, it has cools, it has warms, it has space, but it also has earth because of the wood, and it SHINES", congrats!
Hello Mica, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
That is literally the most beautiful vase I've seen in my entire life.
I'll never see vases like this the same way ever again. Love this.
A simple coffee tree trunk but through creativity has created a pretty cool work 🥰
Absolutely a stunning piece of artwork. I am grateful that I just happened to scroll past this video and for some reason went back to it. This is my first time seeing resin added to wood and turned into a such a beautiful piece of art. Thank you for the introduction. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
你好你最近怎麼樣？
absolutely incredible experience watching this with no context at all for how it was going to turn out; I just about lost it when you started pouring NOT JUST ONE GOOP, but VARIOUS goops, PLURAL into that bucket! It's so cool to see the steps of a process that's totally opaque to me, gone through by an obvious pro.
Also really appreciate how long this video is; I feel like the pacing gives a really good idea of how much time & work it takes to make carefully-considered art like this by hand. I got a tiny bit of that "wow! made something!" satisfaction vicariously, but not without thinking multiple times that, like, whoa... so much time spent hanging out patiently in front of a spinning piece of wood, shaping it little by little. excellent stuff!!
Thanks so much! Yeah, I took my time with this one. I spent a lot of time just thinking about how to mount this on the lathe, and even longer figuring out what to make out of it. In the end, sometimes simple is best so the wood can speak for itself… another reason why darker/black epoxy is my preference.
I've watched a lot of burl + resin turning projects on YT, but this right there among the finest! An absolutely beautiful piece of work.
It's very difficult to get artisanal silly string into the can, but if you do you'll see the quality difference over the store bought kind.
Uh… I don’t understand… but ok where can I buy some “artisanal silly string”
Edit: ok I got further into the video and I get it now, take my like and leave.
I thought the exact same thing, literally "so this is where silly string comes from."
I was just about to comment about this 😭 my favourite part of these resin item videos
Gorgeous piece....thank you for sharing ❤.
@@YukonJack My initial thought was that you could probably survive a fall from any height if you had a landing pad filled with that string.
как же красиво получилось ,просто шедевр. спасибо вам за вашу работу.👍👍👍👍
Даже очень

C'est incroyable!
I've such a deep new respect. I've always loved these never trialing appreciating or knowing what goes into them. I only love them more. I hope one day I can afford one. What vision.
From one unique craftsman to another, handmade is best! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!

Nice vase, how much of the outside is the root wood?

Wow, that vase is so, so beautiful, there are so many different patterns in it, it's like there's a whole universe in that vase. I could look at it, transfixed, for hours
ruclips.net/video/-t2w7pG4eCI/видео.html
I was so nervous for your fingers! Until you poured it, that made me feel so much better!
One day, for sure, I will do what you do with my own style🥰 So a pleasure to watch you working ! Thank you so much.
This is really amazing. I was so iffy about the color choice but the way they blended is wow. You can see the little bits of grey coming through the darker colors and it all complements the wood perfectly.
Oh that sweet, sweet slo-mo of curly resin ribbons flying off the lathe. Nice, David, love it! The piece turned out beautifully, of course. Great work, David!
Cheers Lucy!
Это что то невероятное !!! Магия !!!
I really enjoy watching someone who is truly a master at their craft. This is a stunning piece.
Art comes in many forms, there is no mistaking it, You are an artist.
What a beautiful piece
I couldn’t see where this was going, but that is stunning. Well done.
The whole time i was lost but the result… beautiful

A beautiful piece of art. Your nimbleness, patience, creativity in turning pieces of wood to collectors items seems unparalleled. Best wishes and may your inner eye remain open always to create such masterpieces.
Love the finished result, the resin in the end gives it a very striking look in combination with the wood. From a casual glance it's reminiscent of classical greek pottery. Very good result.
Wow thank you!
روووررعة
I too had a feeling of classical Greek.
Yes!!! exactly it's reminiscent of classical greek pottery
That is one of the most beautiful woods turned projects I have seen.
Could not agree more, congratulations on a job well done again. Thank you for sharing with us to enjoy the beautiful pieces of art you create.
Сколько стоить ?
Amazing skills!
It's just a joy to watch the pair of skillful hands transforming a piece of seemingly ordinary wood into a thing of beauty!
Thx David for the viewing pleasure , it is a beautiful piece , and again for the thoughtful camera work and references , looking forward to more
Stunning work again Mr A. So glad you recovered from your injuries and were able to return to the workshop.
Thank you! I am so thankful to be back at it as well!
I wasn’t sure what this was going to be in the beginning and loved the outcome. Such beautiful art!
This was both visually stimulating, and captivating. Thank you for sharing this with us. 💙
Maravilloso!
Your videos show high production values. Excellently video quality, great editing. Also always enjoy seeing the tools sharpened at the beginning.
I'm about 5 seconds from finding this guy, just to give him a giant piece of wood and ask him can he carve me something cool. Like a globe, bowl, idk. This guy is great!
Once upon a time, I'd have thought the wood piece needed to be all wood (no resin). But I've seen plenty of turnings that come out pure gorgeous. Like this one.
You could stare at that work of art for hours and see different things in it, like clouds in the sky!💕
I grew up surrounded by manzanita and never saw any potential in its wood until now. Beautiful job!
Браво!Настоящий мастер и изделие шикарное!Такое и стоить должно,как произведение искусств.
Muy lindo
О Боже какая работа,можно часами наблюдать. Хранит вас Господь 🙏🙏🙏
It really looks good. It's looking like a pristine Greek pot from antiquity.
You have a point here!
I was thinking the same thing!
So cool how it looks like continents that you'd see on a globe in the final result. Awesome piece of art!!!
Wow, I’m amazed at the final product, this video actually made me interested in wood work/wood turning.
Astonishing result. It's obvious that you've got the taste and the feeling of how it has to be done. Keep on and best regards.

Root burl and resin is one of the most beautiful things in the world. I love them so much and this is such a beautiful example.
Oh how the endless ribbons of resin mesmerized me in this video! The end product was stunning. I loved the glossy finish and the mix of resin colors with the wood grain. Excellent!
Thank you!
Какой молодец! Как уверенно, красиво шёл к цели!!! Шедевр!!! Восхищаюсь!!! Успехов вам!
Good work MashAllah
I can only say that this is crazy in every way and the black parts look like marble or something like it and I love it. This is amazing
Its unbelievable how beautiful nature is in form of wood.. the patterns, the color variations, the more videos i watch my surprise level is only increasing!
Как красиво!!! Я даже не думала, что можно из дерева сделать такую красоту. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
это вы ещё кленовый кап под перламутровой смолой не видели где стенка вазы 4-5 мм
В дереве не разбираюсь, но когда красиво и изящно, здесь разберётся каждый. Что бы такое сделать нужно по крайней мере быть тонким, талантливым, просто так ничего не даётся.
@@АндрейБуряченко-н9в У нас на трудах скалка из березы тоже неплохо получается)))
@@ЯшаСавинов-з9ы у нас нет берёз почти , так что скалки не делаем , они без надобности , хотя из бука и клёна делают , но в основном фарфоровые они практичней

What a skilled hand guided by an artistic eye to look at that gnarled old lump and bring out the beauty in it.

Beautiful work. A friend started working with a lathe and he just loves it! Thank you.
These are two pieces of art, the beautiful hardcraft itself, which is absolutely amazing, and the immersive and very well made video that catch me almost instantly, thank you!!! 👍
I have never watched this being done before and at first, thought there would be nothing left. I was so wrong! It is magnificent 👌 👏!
Thank you! 😊
ruclips.net/video/-t2w7pG4eCI/видео.html
Now this is real art. Effort, planning and and overall well put together piece.
and and
Anything can be art, pull that excess resin string out from your ass
The contrast of orangey wood against the black resin, just wow! Initially, I thought the mix of black, brown, and pearly grey was tacky taste, but now I see that the black has depth and nuances and a solid black would have been very wrong, esp on that orange wood.
Your craftsmanship of wood and lathe is only surpassed by your photography and music.
This was almost a spiritual exercise. Thank you!
Absolutely love watching you woodturning. Your creativity is amazing to be able to look at a burl or a gnarly root and create beautiful pieces of art. ❤❤
When I see videos like this, I am sooo glad that I am not the one cleaning the workshop afterwards! 😜
Many thanks for the beautiful video!
You're a true Turner and know your tools well. This was a fine performance deserving a standing ovation.
There's something very satisfying about all that resin coming off - especially the close-up and slo-mo shots. It's somehow really relaxing. And it's a beautiful piece of work.
I needed this tonight. In a crazy way It's a beautiful way to end a night when I have been mourning my sister who was killed last year. To see that root go from It's natural state, ripped out of the ground, then cut, turned, poured over, cut some more, shaped, and polished feels a lot like my heart right now. The process so painful, but so carefully watched by the Creator. He knows what the end result will be from the very beginning; something more beautiful and lasting than what you started with. Thank you for this. I can sleep now. 🤍
I feel bad for your sister. I hope whoever murdered her last year is in prison right now.
that's fucked up, I don't appreciate seeing this
I am sorry for your loss, Miss Vanessa.
Just when I thought I'd seen the most beautiful piece that you've done, you go and produce this masterpiece. Simply breathtaking ❤
Wow, thank you!
Now when I see such a master piece in some art shop, I ll know the hard work, patience and toil which goes into making it..👍👍
That is one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever seen. It’s stunning.
NICE WORK!!! I got into working in our wood shop as a kid, and grew up with it. A lathe has always been one of my favorite tools, so I can really appreciate this!
I am always in awe of someone who can take something that is naturally beautiful and make it even more so.
