This vase has beautiful colors. You’re right when saying cherry burl and emerald green go well together. I also love the shape. Don’t worry about mistakes. You’re a true artist when you can turn them into something so beautiful.

This piece is beautiful and colorful. Your pieces are always amazing. Glad the move is behind you. A new chapter is being written. A turning point in your life. Can't wait to see your temporary workshop and then your new one once it gets started.

If anyone has a reason to forget something it's you right now. Movie is so hard. Beautiful vase. When the light was in it, it looked like opal. LOVE IT!!

[peterhobson]

Another lovely piece. I agree that the tapered foot fits the rest of the vase. The cutting jig for the band saw is a useful addition to the shop.
Glad to hear your move to New Brunswick went reasonably well. And you're not the only one unimpressed by Quebec roads.

This is a real beauty. To a great extent, your videos inspired my son to take on turning, and he is absolutely loving it. He's got the eye and the touch for this art form. And we decided to go with Designer Epoxy for our resin, and it has been really good, plus, they are such great people to work with. Thanks for sharing all of this.

Wow Jim! That texture on the Cherry Burl is very cool😊 Great color choice. Once again you didn’t disappoint…. Dixie is very Lucky to be able to get such a beautiful vase from an amazing Artist!

Jim,
Designer Epoxy
Expertise should not be measured by mistakes, but how well they are addressed. Thank you for teaching me how to use my lathe. Take care.

"I realise this is a very simple look..."

Simplicity can be beautiful. This piece really showcases your skill at balancing the quest for an elegant form with the shape of the materials you're using.

I am so HAPPY!!!! you made it 'home'. I am looking forward to seeing you turn some local wood & see some images of our beautiful home province. Congrats to you & your wife!
This is a stunning piece, Jim! You never fail to leave me in awe! -Caroline, a Miramichier in Alberta!

Beautiful resin color, love that shade of blue green; and nothing more beautiful than that cherry burl. Congratulations on another work of art, and on the Big Move. Looking forward to whatever you post next, Best wishes for the next chapter of your adventure.

Beautiful piece, glad you were able to save it after it floated. I hope Dixie loves it, I would.

[marybeth]

Hi Jim, I can’t imagine that Dixie wouldn’t like this masterpiece it’s stunning. Take care, stay safe & have a blessed day.😊❤

[rachelhowell]

WOW, what can I say, this ticks all my boxes!! Tall, green, wood burr - what more can you want. Glad to hear that so far all going well for you both in the move.

[venessagragg]

The cherry Burrell and the pearl pigment is gorgeous. Another win for Designer Epoxy.

[lorainenatalino]

You were right about the cracks adding interest to the piece….very, very nice result …I’m sure Dixie will love it….if not, I’ll take it…lol…glad to hear that the move went well…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[DarryWillis]

The cherry is gorgeous! Looks like a burl donated by Treebeard with all the knots and interesting features (although I know he’s not supposed to be cherry 😂). And the epoxy colour… 🥰🥰🥰🥰 my birthstone! That’s one lucky commissioner. All best with the ongoing move. Xx 🇬🇧

[mitchvandyk]

Thank you for making sure we have a video to watch while you are so busy. And may your move go well!

[GailRobertson-lc]

Beautiful vase Jim, the emerald green works great with the cherry wood. Glad the move went smoothly and hope you and your wife get settled into your accommodation. Looking forwards to seeing what you create over the next few months.

[jkurbanski]

Jim you've done it again! What a great combination of wood and designer epoxy giving you this stunning vase.
Somebody is going to be incredibly happy with this beauty!

[carolcox]

New addition to the top 3, Jim. The cherry burl and the pearlized green are a gorgeous combination. I love the design too.
