This piece a jewel of nastiness every step of the way. Given how rotten the burl was, it required thin epoxy with an extended curing time in order to fill all of the gaps and saturate the wood. However, the longer the curing process, the greater the risk of losing color separation in the resin. I found this out the hard way after hoping for more distinct purples and golds in this one. The inside of the vase is not spectacular and rather rough, but it was necessary to leave some wall thickness given the fragility of the wood. I expect this piece is fairly sturdy, given all the stabilization that it needed. Anyway, life is a learning process, and nothing is perfect. But this piece will hopefully find a comfy spot in someone's home.

I did two electives of woodworking in high school, never followed through, my career went elsewhere. I have very fond memories of my lathe work. And I have a beautiful maple side table next to me as I speak, which I hand made with the lathe, routers, band and coping saws when I was 11 years old. I am 52 now. Superb piece of wood and turning here. Congratulations..
-
Extraordinary. Also I found the sound of the tools without music very tranquilizing.
-
You surely do know how to find the beauty in nature. I always feel like I’m looking at galaxies, or the earth’s core or something when I see the finished piece. I can’t praise you enough!!
-
So much to appreciate in this: How an injury to a tree literally is turned to beauty. How technology meets nature to create something out of this world, The art in the cinematography. The effort and patience in the journey , And the sheer satisfaction of seeing the end result. So good!🤗

I always enjoy watching how burls turn out. I miss being able to do turnings. Unfortunately being disabled your income is limited and had to sell all my equipment just to keep the utilities on and food in my daughter's stomach. It was always very very relaxing and helped with keeping the depression away from not being able to work. At least I can still watch others beautiful works of art.

I was mesmerized for the first six and a half minutes then suddenly thought " please dear God, don't let this become a lamp!!" . Fantastic work!! Close up it seems to be a map of the Cosmos.

THANK YOU for this burl vase project. It came out real nice! My Dad gave me a small wood-lathe, that he got, trading. He gave me the fundamentals plus he showed me how to sharpen the tools, when I was about 9 years old and I made some nice stuff over the years. I like to watch it done. Reminds me of my childhood, over half a century ago 😜 Bill, from Tn. 🇺🇸

I have only just started to watch these kind of videos. I love seeing nothing made into something absolutely beautiful. You are one of the talented ones. It’s awesome!
-
Besides the fact that this is amazing work, it’s also incredibly calming and satisfying.
-
I believe this is one of the most beautiful turnings I’ve ever seen !
-
Absolutely love that he doesn't edit the videos to be error free! That kind of turning is not for the faint hearted...
-
Watching a skilled craftsman create a work of art out of chaos is a therapeutic balm for troubled times.
-
This is one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever seen turned. The wood grain itself is spectacular and I love the color choices for the resin!
-
Wow! what a stunning work of Art David. I am not a 'huge' fan of resin but when used wisely, as you have done here, it can have some stunning results as here with this beautiful Cherry Burl. It really is a beautiful piece with a stunning finish to it. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
-
So incredible. You've got a great talent and your choice in epoxy colors compliments the wood so well. I know of a tree in northern Maine that is burl upon burl upon burl upon hundreds of burls. It's so ugly, it's the most beautiful tree I've ever known. It's in the middle of the forest where hardly an eye has ever beheld it. Thanks for posting your workmanship.
-
Oh my, this is something else! The bits of green are superb too!
-
This piece is so beautiful. The burl was quite a mess, but you’ve truly turned it into something amazing. Thank you! Cheers! From FL-Florida
-
I really appreciate people who take nothing and "turn" it into something, that takes talent and skill....the burl and the resin each have their own unique patterning, you did a fantastic job bringing that out, it reminds me of Mexican crazy lace agate, one of my favorite lapidary stones....
-
You are a true artist, I could only ever wish to have your level of talent.
-
An elegant combination of natural and man-made materials. Congratulations!
