Jim, Jim, Jim. I have run out of words that describe your artistic talents. The black walnut bowl is AWESOME, BEAUTIFUL & SPECTACULAR all in one. Be well
Can you believe I saved a bucket of walnut shells just in case I decided to get into resin pouring? Wow! From the looks of what you created, I just may have to go ahead and do it!
Absolutely, this is your most beautiful and unique piece yet. You have to definitely make a Halloween piece utilizing these walnut shells and use pumpkin orange with a dark charcoal colors.
An Absolutely Awesome Vase Jim, Sandra is a very lucky lady to have a hubby who thinks to get something like this made just for her. Hope she really enjoys it
I came back to look at the finished product again. For the third time now. I love the tortoise shell colors that come from the depth of the resin inside the shells.
My favourite colour combo! I love how the purple has filled in the shell voids with the waterfall green swirling around the shapes. An incredibly crazy cool final look, I am with you there on that description, Jim! I definitely look forward to seeing more walnut shell pieces in the future 😍
I'm from Illinois, we have a lot of Black Walnuts. I've always thought they were a pain! Especially when you step barefoot on the broken shells! This piece though is fantastic! Who'd have thought walnut shells could be beautiful!
I always think you can't top a stunning piece you made and then you do! OMG that falls into my top three pieces of your work. So yes please, use walnut shells again. Congratulations on such an exceptional piece. 🤩
Honestly whoeever got this piece is absolutely lucky. It is sooo gorgeous! The walnuts, they look like they have little galaxies/nebulas inside them. Just gorgeous.
You make it look so easy, I know there's a lot of experience and time behind you. Just the confidence you have in choosing materials and colors, really inspiring. Love this finished project.
I used to see walnuts and chestnuts on the ground while walking to school as a child. Never would have imagined they could be made into something like this! Looks like abstract art. Beautiful.
This piece is so beautiful and has so much character! After you added the first coat of finish, the purple sections were actually very visible, even if you didn't see it on the camera. The overall look with the small pockets of purple inside the walnut shells was a fantastic effect. Considering how all those faces looked, maybe you could do another one of these in the fall with orange resin. It would look like mini jack-o-lanterns. :)
Wow, wow, wow. I love the pops of purples, blues, true greens, and browns peeping through. I also love the squirrel face with oversize teeth that shows up at 28:35 at the left third of the vase and the bird on the bottom. Absolutely beautiful.
Jim: another wonderful project completed. The shells really look like faces and martians from outer space. I like the foot that you made as it adds that extra touch to the finished project. I guess as you come up with your ideas and then finish the project it would be hard to give the vase, etc away. Each project is something to look back on and can give you ideas for the next one. Take care and stay safe. PS: I think we are in the last few days of snow.
Lovin the shapes of the walnuts in the epoxy. Cool looking bird shape on the bottom and a few monkey faces through out. Love the DESIGNER EPOXY. Found it to be the best.
Outstanding project piece Jim! You’re really know how to match colours so beautifully. What a wonderful husband to gift his wife an individual piece of art 💫
This piece has an amazing look to it. I loved the hints of the purple in peeking out og the swirling green and the pops of more vibrant tones in the shell voids. It's fun to hear your thoughts on the project as the video proceeds. Great Job!!
I’m only just now getting to watch this, when you said purple and green, my heart did a flip! Those are my 2 favorite colors. ❤❤ You referenced the look on the sides as waterfall, I saw peacock feathers. ❤❤❤ Ok. Back to the show❤😊
Who would have thought walnut shells would come out such interesting and beautiful shapes. I will vote this is one of your most beautiful pieces. Because of the walnuts and the colors of the resin
That’s stunning! Those shells look like tiny brains, or maybe exploding stars, which makes me think that blue and purple might be an awesome colour combination with those walnut shells. 🙂🌸
I think it would be incredible to fill the shells with resin in blue, green, red, orange and purple, then cast them in yellow for turning! 😍 or something like that. This gorgeous and I see the purple! So incredible!
This was my original idea, but the shells were bit up too bad for that to be done. If they were halves, that would of been perfect. Thanks for watching!
This project was a delight to watch from start to finish! What a treasure. The new mic does make a difference in the audio - loud and clear. I agree that you should do more projects like this one. It has been fun watching your focus change as you do different shapes and projects. I still like your bowls with inlays, but your resin work is just phenomenal.
One suggestion from Farmer John from Ontario: Since most of the visible nuts are towards the outside, putting the chamber on a slow turntable during the early part of the cure would spin all the nuts to the outside rather than being wasted or cored out in the middle. That would entail an alternate power arrangement for your chamber if it's continually powered, or else powering the chamber and spinning it alternately ... there would be a key time in the resin set where a quick spin would do it ... might not work for a two colour pour ... John
Another amazing creation ! There are so many things you could find in each one of those, kind of like looking at the clouds. I really enjoy learning tips and tricks from you. You're like my mentor even though we've never met in person. Keep these awesome creations coming!
Wow, that’s one of my favorites. The Designer Epoxy colors went together perfectly. The masks/faces remind me of an old movie with natives on some forgotten island in the South Pacific. Can’t wait for another like this.
What an amazing vase, it's beautiful. When I saw the green and purple, i initially thought yuck. But as usual you created another stunning piece from unique items, you are a true artist.
the shapes the walnut shells make are super interesting, they remind me of the corruption trees from a game called Chicory: a colorful tale. that's kind of a niche reference, but anyways, the point is this is a really cool piece, like always :)
One of my favourites phrase I hear…heard it when I watched one of your videos for the first time…& it has kept me coming back……’Looks like I forgot to spray mold release (reaches for hammer!)” Yet you save (almost) every bucket! Gorgeous nuts, Jim!!! 😝
Jim! You have outdone yourself. Thank you for the narration of your thought processes. I have had some unasked questions in the past and I feel informed now. And great work too.

With lots of resin, sure. Thanks

Same to you! Thanks
Can you believe I saved a bucket of walnut shells just in case I decided to get into resin pouring? Wow! From the looks of what you created, I just may have to go ahead and do it!
You should, thanks!
One of these days… I hope to own one of your beautiful creations! 💕❤️💕
Thank you! Cheers!
Man those walnut shells were so cool in there. The different colors that wound up in the "faces" were awesome. Can't forget Designer Epoxy.
Thanks for watching
Another beautiful creation. Designer Epoxy is the way to go.
Thank you! Cheers!
Absolutely, this is your most beautiful and unique piece yet. You have to definitely make a Halloween piece utilizing these walnut shells and use pumpkin orange with a dark charcoal colors.
Yes, it would be perfect for that. Thank
WOW! This gorgeous and yes I agree to let your project tell you what it wants to be.
Thank you very much!
An Absolutely Awesome Vase Jim, Sandra is a very lucky lady to have a hubby who thinks to get something like this made just for her. Hope she really enjoys it
Thanks for watching!
Wow! That was beautiful and mesmerizing! Very cool.
Thank you very much!
Love the interaction of the colors and the waterfall effect.

The bowl featuring Designer Epoxy turned out beautifully. The walnut shells are very interesting to look at, no two look exactly the same.
Thanks 😊
Another great masterpiece. Love the faces that appeared as a result of the turning. Again, job well done.
Thank you very much!
This is my favorite out of all the ones I have watched you make.

Totally, thanks!
From St Louis, exactly what I was thinking.😊
Look forward every week to see what you make, I think this one is one of your best. Can't wait to see what you do next using designer epoxy.
Thank you very much!
Love the green/purple combination!
Me too, thanks
I always think you can't top a stunning piece you made and then you do! OMG that falls into my top three pieces of your work. So yes please, use walnut shells again. Congratulations on such an exceptional piece. 🤩
Thank you very much!

This piece is so cool. You're right, I could stare at it for hours 🤩
You and me both! Thank you very much!
I love this weeks Vase would love to see another one

I’m not going to lie… at first glance I couldn’t decide if I liked this or not. After watching the video I have fallen in love with it.
Thanks 😊
Sprague Woodturning I Really Love Your TH-cam channel ‼️💯💯💯💯💯
Thanks!
You make it look so easy, I know there's a lot of experience and time behind you. Just the confidence you have in choosing materials and colors, really inspiring. Love this finished project.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
So unique and beautiful. One of the coolest bowls I’ve ever seen, no joke
Thank you very much!
Happy Friday! Wow, what a beautiful piece Jim! I wish my husband would secretly commission something from you, I'd cherish it forever!
Thank you very much!
That so gorgeous. I love how the green and purple blended..
Thanks so much 😊
The piece is amazing and the color choice really complements the black walnuts.
Thanks!
wow I love this piece. The shapes made by the walnut shells make it unique
Totally, thanks!
I used to see walnuts and chestnuts on the ground while walking to school as a child. Never would have imagined they could be made into something like this! Looks like abstract art. Beautiful.
Thanks for watching!
That is the neatest looking thing ever. I’ll be looking for walnuts in the future.
Thanks!
This piece is gorgeous! I love the natural black outline around each walnut piece, think it really helped accent the different colors!
Agreed! Thanks
This is a really beautiful bowl. I like the light inside on it, it really shows its beauty. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
This looks amazing! Definitely one of the coolest things you've made, I think.
I think so too! Thanks
What a spectacular piece! The Designer Epoxy color choices complimented the walnut shells. I enjoyed looking back at the many faces looking at me.
There’s a lot, lol. Thanks
This piece is so beautiful and has so much character! After you added the first coat of finish, the purple sections were actually very visible, even if you didn't see it on the camera. The overall look with the small pockets of purple inside the walnut shells was a fantastic effect. Considering how all those faces looked, maybe you could do another one of these in the fall with orange resin. It would look like mini jack-o-lanterns. :)
Yes, totally. Thanks!
Loved this, thanks for reminding everyone about nut allergies! Very pretty.
Any time! Thanks
I love the way the purple comes out in the different raking lights. What a gorgeous piece!
Thank you very much!
I love the patterns that those Walnut shells have.
Thank you very much!
I look forward to Friday for your weekly project and you never disappoint! Another beautiful piece.
Thank you so much!
Most beautiful piece I've seen!!
Wow, thank you!
I just love this piece. It's absolutely beautiful, and very, very unique!
Thank you very much!
Very unique and beautiful project! Jim's wife will love it! ❤️
She does, thanks
Wow, wow, wow. I love the pops of purples, blues, true greens, and browns peeping through. I also love the squirrel face with oversize teeth that shows up at 28:35 at the left third of the vase and the bird on the bottom. Absolutely beautiful.
Thanks for watching!
Truly awesome turning!! The walnut shells make it one of a kind no matter how many you turn. Thanks! Designer epoxy
Thanks!
This is super crazy cool. I absolutely love all the unique 'faces' the shells made. Hope you get more shells!
Me too, thanks!
Very cool indeed. Looks to me like lots of 'creatures' coming through from a different dimension. Very, very nice indeed!
Many thanks!
I don’t even have words to describe how stunning this is.
Thanks 😊
incredible shapes from the walnut shells! It's almost alien looking. Another wonderful Designer Epoxy project!
Thanks!
Jim: another wonderful project completed. The shells really look like faces and martians from outer space. I like the foot that you made as it adds that extra touch to the finished project. I guess as you come up with your ideas and then finish the project it would be hard to give the vase, etc away. Each project is something to look back on and can give you ideas for the next one. Take care and stay safe. PS: I think we are in the last few days of snow.
Man I hope so! Thanks
Lovin the shapes of the walnuts in the epoxy. Cool looking bird shape on the bottom and a few monkey faces through out. Love the DESIGNER EPOXY. Found it to be the best.
It certainly is, thanks!
Agreed! This is one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever seen. Well done!
Thanks so much 😊
Absolutely stunning Jim, your best yet I think.
Many thanks!
Absolutely beautiful and quiet unusual. You always do such great work.
Thank you very much!
Wow, what a majestic piece. The more you look at it the more things you see. Thank you as always. Stay well. Designer epoxy.
Thank you! Cheers!
This is one of the coolest pieces I've ever seen! It does have an under the sea vibe to me. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Jim, that is beautiful. I have stepped on so many black walnut in our yard, I never knew they could look like this.
It’s one of the coolest things I’ve made. Thanks
Outstanding project piece Jim! You’re really know how to match colours so beautifully. What a wonderful husband to gift his wife an individual piece of art 💫
Thank you very much!
This squirrel vase is beautiful.
Like to listen to you explain your design ideas. Always a joy.
Thank you very much!
What a fun piece. Absolutely beautiful. This is definitely one of my favorite pieces of yours.
Thank you very much!
This is stunning. Also looks like dinosaur bones . Just gorgeous xx
Oh thank you!
This piece has an amazing look to it. I loved the hints of the purple in peeking out og the swirling green and the pops of more vibrant tones in the shell voids. It's fun to hear your thoughts on the project as the video proceeds. Great Job!!

Haven’t heard from you in a while, welcome back! Don’t think this method would work like you say with a two color pour. Thanks for watching!
First you have to get more empty black walnut shells and that requires making a contract with squirrels. Not easy to negotiate with.
Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you very much!
Another incredible masterpiece, Jim! Designer Epoxy!😍
Thanks again!
That’s turned out awesome, them walnuts give it some really cool images, another awesome project, keep up the great videos.
Thanks, will do!
You are always coming up such amazing pieces. Those patterns are awesome...whoever the recipient is, they're extremely blessed 😁💙
Thank you so much 😊
An incredibly unique piece. The purple reflects at the bottom. Beautiful.
Thanks 😊
Another amazing creation ! There are so many things you could find in each one of those, kind of like looking at the clouds. I really enjoy learning tips and tricks from you. You're like my mentor even though we've never met in person. Keep these awesome creations coming!

Absolutely beautiful. Great choice of shape...it's awesome.

Thank you so much!
In all my epoxy/wood turning channel watching years, I never thought I'd see a guy put his own nuts in a pour. Freaking awesome, Jim!!!
I’m dedicated to the cause, haha. Thanks
Lol! OP, you're funny!
That is definitely my favorite piece that I have ever seen you make!!
Thank you very much!
the shapes the walnut shells make are super interesting, they remind me of the corruption trees from a game called Chicory: a colorful tale. that's kind of a niche reference, but anyways, the point is this is a really cool piece, like always :)
Thank you very much!
looks like little stained-glass windows in the nut bodies... SO Beautiful!! I love your resin bowls or vases!
Thanks!
Very nice project Jim. The shells make it unique. Turned out beautiful.
Thank you very much!
One of my favourites phrase I hear…heard it when I watched one of your videos for the first time…& it has kept me coming back……’Looks like I forgot to spray mold release (reaches for hammer!)” Yet you save (almost) every bucket! Gorgeous nuts, Jim!!! 😝
It's all in the technique, haha. Thanks
Wow. What a great piece. Might be my favorite. Great great job. Always a pleasure to watch you create.
Thank you very much!
Wow neat effect!! Your own little “bowl of horrors “ and we love that Designer Epoxy
Yes! Thank you!
Jim! You have outdone yourself. Thank you for the narration of your thought processes. I have had some unasked questions in the past and I feel informed now. And great work too.
Thank you very much!
