Woodturning - In this video, I use this odd piece of firewood and turn it into a one of a kind vase. It all doesn't go as planned though and will give an update on it next week. Thanks for watching!

I hope he is selling these one of a kind pieces for tens of thousands of dollars, because man, you talk about time, effort, energy and creativity! Wow!

I have only been turning for about 9 years, I have learned more useful information from your videos than can be recorded. I am coming up on 80 my goal is to make one piece as nice as yours. Loved this Vaise, every episode is just loaded with great tips and great designs. Thank you.

I think this vase is beautiful.

If you wanted a contrast filler for cracks, you could use a strong gold colour, similar to the Japanese art of Kintsugi which uses gold to highlight repairs, rather than hide them.

There is nothing impossible in the art of lathe, it is life, and when you accomplish a wonderful job, you feel extremely happy, well done

[Razzy-sroq]

This turned out gorgeous! My favorite color and the texture of the wood is stunning! I love that you are unafraid to admit mistakes happen and you effortlessly pivot around them and make them a feature of the piece. In the future, if you want to draw contrast with colors via any cracks like you did here with the white, try using silver or gold for your resin color! It'll be very similar to kintsugi, which is intended to create beauty out of something broken using precious metal to repair broken pottery.

They aren't mistakes, they're stunning serendipities

[DNKERR]

what a beautiful piece of art. Functional art. There's a lot of crap that gets passed off as art, but something like this is timeless. In 1, 000 years, someone could dig that up and it would still be a treasure. Great job! High fives all around!

[ForestGirlTeresa]

Glitter purple. Who would have thought it would produce such a lovely result? It contrasts so well with the soft gold tones of the wood. Love the wavy top edge!

[katiewaterrose]

This piece has such an otherworldly feel yet is still so organic, it's absolutely stunning. I got lost staring at it! Congratulations on 1M views 🎉!

[aabsurdity]

I'm just at 7 minutes through the video and you're talking about making mistakes and "that's on me" and so forth, and I just wanted to thank you for pushing yourself, your tools, the resin and everything else.
These are the voyages of discovery we make in our lives, Jim. They're beautiful and wonderful in their own right, and sometimes we arrive on the far shore to discoveries like the gorgeous vase I saw in the thumbnail.
Thank you for your journeys, and thank you for bringing us along with you on them.

[penelopem]

With the light in it, it looks like a sunset on the ocean! So beautiful! Congrats on the 1 million views!

[chimeralandfangirl]

Gold in the cracks would have been amazing and a nod to the art of kintsuge.

Beautiful vase. Excellent work. Thank you for sharing.

This piece is just SO PRETTY! Very thankful to YouTube's algorithm for once bringing me to something I really wanted to see! Also, congrats on passing 1.5M views on this video! :)

As I was watching I kept wanting you to make multiple globes, this design would look wonderful as globes for planets. Then I changed my mind as you got further into it and i decided that a lamp base with an interior light would bring out the beauty of the piece more. Then i saw the completed piece and fell in love with it as is. wonderful work

[dougsimms]

This video will reach 1, 000, 000 views too. We’ll keep coming back to rewatch it, just to see that beautiful vase again.

[traciguernsey]

It's absolutely amazing how far you've come with your Epoxy works in two years! This one definitely turned out beautifully though!

[sunilpermaul]

I'm so happy you kept the uneven top. I was scared you were going to level it out, but I'm happy you didn't. It looks amazing :D

[cathyellington]

The vase is beautiful. Really love the color.

[ronnielloyd]

When you do the work the way you do, then I’m not surprised at the million views.
I said once and I’ll say it again. You are the best resin turner that I have ever seen. Now going for 2 million.

[mmalandsbirdies]
