Wow, On his way to a 100,000 subscribers. I think that is just fantastic.🌿
Thank you so much!
I just hit 1 K myself. I'm kind of a big deal! Hahaha God bless.
@@SpragueWoodturning❤😮😮😮
Beautiful piece. I like the contrast of the green with the "redish" woods. I think an e-bay auction would be a great idea. Give more people a a chance to get one of your lovely pieces.
I think so too!
I’m really glad you did that cut for the bowl. It really sets off everything, and the colors are absolutely beautiful. Awesome job again.
Thank you so much 😀
In my opinion this is the coolest vase you have made so far. The profile is so different and really awesome. The colors and the materials work well together. You nailed this one.
Thank you so much!
I don’t know how you manage it but you keep finding ways to outdo yourself. This piece is just incredible!
Thank you very much!
This is an awesome piece. It makes me think of Christmas. The wood is gorgeous and works well with the pods. Another amazing and creative piece, Jim! 🎉🎉
Thank you so much!
Funny you say that. When I saw it I too thought of Christmas.
@@SpragueWoodturning mmmmmm..................llllllllllk
I know that most people who see this beautiful vase will never pick it up and turn it over, but I was really impressed with the way that the bottom of it turned out. There's a symmetry with the way it all flows together from the bottom up that you just don't see in a lot of castings.
Thank you very much!
MY GOD THAT IS STUNNING!
EVERY PIECE THAT YOU MAKE IS JUST OUTSTANDING!!!
I CANT STOP WATCHING!!!
Thank you very much!
SO TALENTED!!!
PLEASE DO SOMETHING WITH WOOD AN MAGENTA.
MAYBE A BIT OF BRIGHT BLUE OR AQUA WITH THE MAGENTA.
No-one uses colours no more. It's all blue.
Just a thought!!!
Loving your work.
Amazing!!!

Amazing!!!
Definitely gives off victorian vibes with the tulip shape and jungle green resin. Being in California my entire life, I can tell you that those gum pods are the worst to step on, but you made them look beautiful in the finished piece 😍
I bet they are! Thanks
I only recently subscribed to your channel and I am blown away by how beautiful your pieces are! I watch primarily because I find wood turning videos relaxing but I also enjoy learning about how to make these types of things and your videos are a good mix of ASMR and explanation. I'm looking forward to more wonderful videos!
Thank you so much! Welcome aboard!😊
This turned out so fantabulous, the color of the woods, resin. It's just so beautiful, I love how you incorporated the pods. Makes for a very "holiday" type piece, but super visually interesting. The shape is awesome too. Thanks so much for sharing this.😊
You are so welcome, thanks
You are so right about the sweet gum pods and stepping on them… even with flip flops you can still get them in the foot!
Thanks 😊
Thanks Jim! Vase arrived safe and sound. It’s beautiful! CTravis ❤
Wonderful! Thank you very much!
Ooh, the prickerballs again! The bane of my childhood. You have to rake twice a year- leaves in the fall, seed balls in the spring. It’s cool that you can turn that into something so beautiful. Sweet gums are actually quite nice looking trees that grow very tall and straight, and they’re stunning in the fall. But damn, they are a lot of work.
(Since you mentioned it, as far as I know the prickerballs are all pretty much the same size. And I grew up in a forest of sweet gums, so I do know!)
Oh good to know. Thanks 😊
@@SpragueWoodturning You could probably find smaller seed balls from some other species of tree and combine them with the sweet gum pods, if you wanted to fill in the spaces more. I don’t know of any offhand, but I’m sure someone does.
This is gorgeous and that Designer epoxy in green brings out the browns, I love it!
Thank you so much!
My son is new to woodturning ~ so far, he is concentrating on making handles for the fishing rods that he makes. I purchased some Sweet Gum Tree Pods last week for him to try with making fishing rods. Thank you for your training videos. Your pieces are inspiring..
Those will be cool. Thanks
Sir your videos are the most relaxing thing I've ever experienced so please don't ever stop
So nice of you. Thanks
This one looks like a Christmas gift! I love the exotic woods and that you found a good use for those damn sweet gum pods! I have hated those since childhood and how they hurt my bare feet! They were lovely suspended in resin...about the only time I'll say that. Congratulations on reaching 95k subscribers! Yeehaw!
Thanks so much 😀
Love the Virny Ridge cap. As a resident to your south, so many of our "citizens" don't realize that both of our countries gave a LOT to humanity.
Very true words have never been spoken! Thank you very much!
Thankful you are getting rain!!!
Gum balls are definitely a menace in our area. It’s nice to see them used for something good!!
Beautiful stout piece of art!!!
Yes! Thank you!😊
Wow! The purpleheart with the green is a great contrast. I like the random distribution of the pods against the very straight wood.
Me too! Thanks
eBay auction makes sense. Beautiful project Jim. Beautiful job.
Designer Epoxy
Just one word for this vase... WOW.
WOW WOW WOW! I mean, there's probably plenty of other words like stunning and unique and beautiful, but I'm sticking with WOW!
As an Aussie, my heart is very much with everyone currently affected by the forest fires in Canada. Certainly in my lifetime our bushfires have gotten significantly worse, and seeing more and more from North America hit the international news is rather heartbreaking. I hope you and your family continue to stay safe Jim.
I think eBay auctions would definitely be a fun thing to try, even if they were out of my price range I would enjoy watching the bidding and seeing the final winning price!
CONGRATULATIONS on hitting 95k subscribers Jim, I will continue to share your videos and look forward to seeing many more milestones in the near future. Thank you!
The fires are pretty crazy stuff, we’ve loss hundreds of thousands of hectares of forest. It’s a good thing we’ve got lots of it! Thanks
Wow, you weren't kidding. Absolutely gorgeous UNIQUE piece. Congratulations on 95k😂 yes nova scotia got very needed rain as well. We had wildlifes in Shelburne and here in Sackville, and we were on a 30-minute warning to evacuate.
Scary stuff! Thanks
Lordy, that is just stunning!!! I am getting total Christmas vibes from it!! In a good way! The wood feels like ribbon from a gift wrap and the dark green color of the resin set off the reddish color of the wood. The spikes on the sweet gum balls looks sort of like evergreen boughs or holly leaves! It just feels warm and celebratory and I think it is perfect!
Happy holidays! Ha ha! Thanks so much!
It looks really beautiful! ❤
Thank you very much!
You should thank your wife for encouraging you to leave your 'comfort zone". Absolutely love it!
Absolutely!!
That vase is absolutely breath taking 😊. Selling it online auction is a great idea! I am completely in love with it.
Thanks so much!
Love the green with the two woods. Also, really like the pattern the pods made. When you show the inside and the light came through, it evokes the look of the California coast kelp forest images I’ve seen on TV; very cool!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
That's the most Beautiful Vase I have ever seen. It's unbelievable what a person can make with an a imagination. Thank You.
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the shape of this week's vase. I like when the vases have a wider opening at the top. Another great job
Thank you! 😊
Glad you kept the detail on the lip of the rim! It adds to the appeal of the piece.
All I can say is WOW!!! This turned out beautiful - the exotic woods with the sweet gum pods was genius.
Thank you very much!
Hey understand about living next to a live fire range. We are 20 miles from Ft Sill Artillery Training Center. Dad was in charge of grounds and would have to go out a lot of times and make fire breaks durning summer time fires. Beautiful job on the vase. BTW. You are my wife's stress relief every week.
Thanks for the comment. Happy to hear I’m your wife’s stress relief! I think I cause my wife stress! Ha ha!
As always, you never cease to amaze! Very beautiful piece Jim!
Thank you very much!
such a beautiful piece! your choice of colors is awesome!! very Christmas-y!
Thank you so much!
That color of green with the sweet gum pods and your choice of woods is a spectacular Looking piece, it's beautiful. The purple heart and paduke woods are beautiful with this.❤
Thank you very much!
This vase has a very rich look! Your color choice couldn't have been better! Fantastic piece!
Thank you! Cheers!
Gotta agree with you, simply a gorgeous piece. I like it when you let your creativity out more. Thanks again Jim.
Thank you! Cheers!
What a beautiful vase! Very big Christmas vibe! Would be beautiful as a centerpiece!
Thank you! 😊
Designer epoxy pulling out the beauty and turning into memories. Love the shot with light inside, I’ll pick my jaw off the floor now thanks Jim ~Smile oN
Lol. Thank you so much!
I think you're the best piece ever. As always. Great Inspiration thank you
Wow, thank you!
This is such a lovely piece. Congratulations on 95k!
Thank you so much 😀
A most delectable piece of art. Good combo of wood choice and cone media. Nice job as usual.
Thank you so much!
My favorite part of your videos is when you touch the first coat of the gloss finish. Absolutely stunning. I am so glad I found your channel. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thank you so much!
THAT is a VERY NICE Vase! 🎉
I think your auctioning some pieces is a great idea. Of course allowing for your base starting price to cover your costs. You might want to consider making a percentage of proceeds on an auctioned piece to a charity. Or occasionally make the proceeds of an entire piece that supports a charity. Maybe at the 100,000 member point
That's a great idea!
Jim, be thankful you don't live where the Sweet Gums grow. The trees drop their gum balls (as the pods are affectionately known) all over your yard, and you can't go out in bare feet lest you step on the nasty, spiny critters. I heard of someone recently selling them to tourists as porcupine eggs 🥚.
Ha ha! Thanks for your comment 😊
Absolutely stunning... those coves really add to the design... those sugargum pods are neat little spikey things... great job!
Thanks so much! 😊
When I was working, we had a filter on the exhaust port on our vacuum pump that we changed two or three times a year. Without the filter we had the same problem you described.. keep up the beautiful work. Very impressive.
Interesting! Thanks
It really turned out beautiful I love the way the pods came out.
Thank you! Cheers!
Another beautiful piece of art, Jim! I love the shape of this one and the sweet gum pods are a wonderful touch. We have lots of sweet gum trees here in Texas!
Thank you, Jim!
Thanks for watching!
This is such a spectacular pieces! And the colors! Both the wood and the resin are gorgeous and have such depth to them.
Thank you so much!
Love this vase!
I think Ebay is a great idea.
So glad you got sone rain too.
I made a joke about picking up skates in the trash.
My husband laughed and said,"he got some cheaoskates... cheapskate 😂
He is right there with you on making things from trash 😊
We love spending friday evening ls with you❤
It’s amazing what some people throw out, haha. Thanks for watching!
Love this vase. Glad that you left the little rim on the top as it adds character
Thank you! 😊
Those pods are so cool! Well done Jim, really awesome work! ✌️❤️🍻🖖
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful work as always. Love the curves on this. Congratulations on 95k!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful vase! I really like the banding you created to profile the pods.
Thank you! 😊
I agree Jim. This is one of the most beautiful pieces I've seen you do. I'm from Eastern NC and we have those pods all over. They are usually about the same size. They're the seed pods for the tree. Again gorgeous work!
Thanks so much 😊
Wow, that turned out beautiful! Love the different wood color-tones, contrasted with the green (especially as green is my favorite color! :) Those sweet-gum pods balance nicely. I love sweet gum trees, the gorgeous fall colors and bark that is attractive year-round--but I hate those pods, LOL. Walking over those is a bit like walking on ball bearings! Anyway, love this piece!
Thanks so much 😊
Congratulations on having 100,000 subscribers 🎉. The combination of colors was good, and the texture that the sweet gum pods made in the vase was very nice.
Not there yet, still got 5K to go, fingers crossed. Thanks
The textures from the pods are really neat looking!
Thank you very much!
All I can say is WOW!, I love the contrast of colors, the brown of the sweetgum pods, the purpleheart and the orange of the padauk with that beautiful green epoxy is just astounding.
Thank you so much!
Not to mention the awesome glow from the perfect amount of transparency!!!!
Love your descriptive comment!
Jim you are an amazing artist!!!
Jim, I just love the shape of this. The colors and design are exquisite. THANK YOU and Happy Father's Day
Many thanks!
Love watching your videos. Not a woodworker, I so enjoy watching someone who is a craftsman. We put purple heartwood floors in our house, beautiful wood. Awesome result! Glad you kept the extra "ridges" on top & throughout this piece. Favorite so far. Thanks for sharing your time & talents.
That is awesome! Thanks so much! Are the floors still purple or did they turn brown after a while?
Love this piece. It reminds me of Christmas. I think an eBay auction would be great. As always, this is the hi-light of my Friday. Happy Father’s Day.
Thank you so much!
I love the profile of this vase. It really showcases the unique shape of the sweetgum seed pods. I love my sweetgum tree, it's a great shade tree so I am willing to deal with the dry pods.
Thank you! 😊
I have two very large sweet gumtrees in my yard. Oh, I do hate stepping on these barefoot. They make great shade trees, but I would have chosen something else, had it been me. Lmk if you need more. I'd be very happy to send you some. 😊 And, as always, an awesome project! You do make some beautiful artwork!!!!! ❤
I would love to get more. Thanks
@Sprague Woodturning they usually start falling around September, I think. I'll gather some up and send them up your way then. The ones on the ground now have been mowed over.
Looks like a Christmas vase. Beautiful.
Thank you! 😊
Just started watching woodturning and I am hooked. Would love to try it. I think it is great you show your achievements and mistakes. Every piece I have seen so far is a work of art and I would love to own. Can't wait for future videos.
Awesome, thank you!
Jim,
This is a very interesting piece. I would not have guessed that the Designer Epoxy would be able to pour that deep. Now I know what to do with my Sweet Gum Tree. Thanks for sharing
The spacer certainly helped. Still more volume that it should of been, lol. Thanks
I really like the profile of this vase. The wood selection was great and I think the sweet gum pods would look nice with just about any color of epoxy. Cool one this week, take care.
I totally agree! Purple next! Thanks
Great colour choice again (as always!) The pods give the vase an almost 3D vibe, which is really cool. Absolutely yes, in regards to some ebay listings. You really have nothing to lose, especially if you set a reserve. As always, have a great weekend and I'll be watching next Friday 😀
Thanks so much 😀
Just gorgeous! To be honest, I can not believe you do not have over 100k subscribers. Your videos are fun, creative, and instructional. Plus, they showcase truly fabulous creations!
Wow, thank you!
Designer Epoxy. This is one of the coolest turnings.
Thanks so much
32:04 - the exhaust tube decides for a nap lol that aside -do you realize HOW GORGEOUS this piece is?! my gosh!!! my GOSH!! GORGEOUS!
Yup, lol. Thanks
COOL YOU ARE THE WOOD TURNING MAN . I LOVE TO WATCH YOU AND YOUR WORK.
Thank you so much 😀
The Hatless Jig is the preferred dance move of advanced woodturners everywhere! (boy, I haven't heard that term in a long time!!) Such a beautiful vase - I love how the pods are in random order as they float in the resin. Thanks, Jim!
Charge parades were fun, haha. Thanks
Great proportional separation of the pods! Beautiful. Designer Epoxy
Thanks so much!
How freaking cool is this!? I am a HUGE fan of EVERYTHING going on here! The shape is really powerful and the colors are wonderful, the wood is beautiful and the green within it? Perfect! It reminds me of old Japanese design! I love when you work with the little pods and walnut shells, what fun textural elements!
Good job on 95k! 100k, here you come!
Designer Epoxy
Lastly: have you ever done a Live Auction on TH-cam? I follow fluid artists that hold them once or twice a year! I know I'd definitely sign on for it!!
I didn’t even know about them. Will check into it. Thanks
Absolutely a beautiful piece. Stellar resign coloursand gies well with the wood. I love watching your videos and the commentary that goes along with them.
Thank you! Cheers!
Very festive piece! I didn't watch it right away, but I saw the thumbnail. Couldn't figure out how you got the striped color separation, but was very impressed. When I watched, I saw that the red resin was wood. That made so much more sense! LOL 🤦🏼♀️ I should have known. Well done.
Strips of resin would be cool too 🤔 thanks!
Great idea to have an e-Bay auction. Those liquid amber seed pods are such a pain each year to get out of my mom's gutters; it's wonderful to see them put to some use that showcases their beauty. Nicely done designer epoxy work!
Thanks 😊
This is such an interesting piece. The strong vertical lines of the wood and the coves give it an almost art deco feel. I normally dig more flowing natural lines but this vase really grew on me as the video went on!
Thanks 😊
Your profile choice for this vase was an excellent idea. Designer epoxy.
Thank you very much!
one of the best vases I have ever seen. great choice of woods. keep up the great work
Thank you very much!
The artists emphasize that the works are art when they carry a part of the soul of the artist who made it because that's how it excites whoever contemplates, and the rest is craftsmanship. Working using the imagination to produce a work that moves to any extent whoever observes and contemplates it is, from my point of view, art. And I think that the beauty of that work is included in the art.🤩🤩💖
Thank you very much!
Looking at the spikey pods reminds me of my past. I had until 2020 a malamute (who sadly passed away during the pandemic) and when we used to go on walks he loved to get into the bushes. Sounds all good but in South Wales, UK we have bushes that give off these spikey pods (albeit smaller and more spikey) and by the time we went home it used to take me hours to get them out of his fur (malamutes have great fur but a pain in the rear end to prise these things out). RIP Flash. But anyway, absolutely fantastic vase!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I certainly can see that as a problem, sorry to hear about your dog. I’ve got a cat that’s my shadow and it’s going to be a tough day when he go. Thanks.
Yes. It might be your best!! Beautiful! Like others have said, it looks like Christmas!! I am very glad you did the ridges, and didn't make another oval. I'm glad you left the lip, on the top! I love the entire piece, design and color scheme! I searched Vimy Ridge and will read up on it, as soon as I finish my comment. God bless!
We certainly paid a heavy price to take it from the Germans in WW1, but it made Canada what we are today. Thank you very much!
The color of the woods plus the coves in it really add to the piece as well as the color of the Designer Epoxy.
Thanks 😊
It is amazing how the inside of the piece holds the shavings.
Yup, it’s irritating, lol. Thanks
Love purple heart and pods. Another awesome piece.
Thanks
For whatever reason, your video of the piece you made to look like coral popped up on my TH-cam screen. I watched it and was mesmerized! I was certain it was going to be a disaster, having never watched anything like this before, but it was beautiful! I am a crafter, but nothing like this; still, I love learning about the process and watching everyday objects and plain pieces of wood become works of art, so I had to subscribe. I've had many personal experiences with the sweet gum pods and hated them...but now I see the beauty that can be found in them. This vase is awesome!
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching!
Another excellent piece Jim. You are right about stepping on the gum balls, I have a large gum tree in my yard but they do make excellent mulch since they take forever to decompose
Thanks 😊
What a gorgeous piece of art you created there! My husband turned me on to your channel because I have developed a big interest in working with resin and wood. He even bought me a lathe so I'm learning all I can. Thank you for the videos. You explain everything so clear, I've learned so much. I think auctioning your pieces is a great idea!
Awesome! Thank you!
This piece is so cool especially with the light shining through it from the top.
Thank you very much!
Gorgeous! Thank you for showing us all your wonderful talents.
Thanks so much 😊
She’s a beauty! Thanks for another lesson. You are an artist!
Thank you kindly!
Very cool look. The Designer Epoxy has just the right reflections in it that remind me of glitter. I was surprised too that those pods didn't float.
Thanks 😊
Super nice piece. Cool that others send you items to use for your projects. This was very different. Very nice indeed.
Thank you! Cheers!
What an interesting piece. I really like the straightness of the wood with the chaos of the pods. Beautiful!
Thank you very much!
I appreciate you showing your challenges with floating objects in the Designer Epoxy and your solutions.
My pleasure! Thanks
I am loving those pods! Very cool. I am also a huge fan of the vase shape, looks great and good choice in leaving the top. Already looking forward to the next project. Never miss your videos
Thanks so much!😀
