    I always wondered how a vase could cost so much to buy. Now I know. The effort, craftmanship, materials and time involved is insane. Amazing job! Thanks for sharing.

    'Stunning' could very well be an understatement for this fine work. It's surprising to me how you took an ugly, old, spiked burl and converted it into that masterpiece of fine craftsmanship. Your artistic ingenuity and creativity never cease to amaze me, David, as my respect for your trade increases tenfold every instance I gaze at another one of your beautiful creations. Keep-up the extra-fine work, and thanks for sharing this experience with us.

    I don’t think I’ve seen a turner add holographic glitter before, it’s beautiful. I love the high gloss epoxy finish, it enhances all the elements.. the burl, color mix and classical vase shape. It’s just a gorgeous combination.

    David, I'm blown away by the exquisite balance and skill in this piece. The chatoyance you've created in the resin mimics but doesn't overpower the figured chatoyance in the manzanita, and (as always) the vase has an exquisite curve. Stunning!

    I saw that root chunk attached to the lathe and I couldn't see how it was going to be possible to turn it. That was incredible to watch because of all the woodworking tools and machines, the lathe has always been my favorite. I particularly liked that you didn't talk over it (I mean NO offense) and let the sounds of the tools speak for you. It was very relaxing to watch and the result is spectacular. It would be hard not to have that piece be the focal point of any room. Do you ever include a "before" picture with any of your work? I would think that could only emphasize your mastery even more.

    Just beautiful. You always amaze me with the gift you have for looking at a rough piece of wood then being able to turn it into a stunning piece of art. I'm learning to work with resin so I'm taking the names down of the mica powders you used with this resin. They were really nice. I use Eye Candy also, it's a good product. Wish those chambers you use came in a much smaller size, I'd like to have one about the quarter the size of yours to use to remove bubbling from resin. More videos please!

      Thanks! Well I can’t speak for everyone, but I like black epoxy because it doesn’t distract too much from the burl. It almost acts like a shadow whereas colored and vibrant epoxy tends to compete with it. I’ve done both, and both have their purposes.

    Stunning as ever David! I am now never surprised that you can take something that people would throw away and find its beauty. And the shine was exquisite. I would ask you if you've ever waited for a short while for the resin to cure before pouring in order to keep the colours from merging? I've seen that done by other resin users and the results are outstanding! You really see the separation of the individual colours more. No criticism of your piece at all. I would buy that in a heartbeat if I had the money!😍

    • @DavidAdamsen
      @DavidAdamsen  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks very much! Yes, I have tried delaying the pour to get more color separation, but my shop is not very well temperature controlled. These past summer months end up curing deep pour epoxy in 20% of the time it normally takes. I will definitely try it more though.
