Previously, I loved the berry blue that u did, now that I've seen red-- omg it's absolutely beyond extraordinary!! Love it! Really makes the wood pop😍😍😍
I have watched several articans make epoxy art, I do love the red, didnt see the green. But I wonder, with so much waste of the expensive epoxy, is there a time when you can recycle some of the shavings ? Thankx for sharing your skills with us !
Thanks Connie. I thought the same thing. A table saw is an expensive piece of equipment that can bite you in the ass in an instant. It is not the place to junk up with spilled resin or other crap. That is what the workbench is for.
Despite the voids, this turned out really great! :D I love wood and resin projects, it's always a mystery, but the result is so awesome! :D Something I always do when I combine wood I've found in nature with resin, I put them in the oven at low heat for a couple of hours to make sure it's as dry as possible. Resin absolutely HATES moisture and I really wanna avoid screwing up a project and waste resin :)
Great job!!! The red colour is interesting together with the brown wood. A wonderful vase that makes my fantasy spin. Best regards / Peter, former art student, Sweden, Europe
Looks nice! I sprayed laquer for many years in a big architectural wood working shop in Rhode Island - which btw is where Jamestown Distributors is. I’ve had that happen before. It’s called solvent popping. The surface is pushed to dry to fast before all the carrier solvents can escape so they pop through the harder surface making those marks. Another reason can be using off the shelf solvent for thinning. It’s always best to use same solvent the laquer was made from. I’ve spayed 1000’s of gallons of laquer ! I’ve seen ALL the problems and at all the worst times!!! Like when the boss walks by!!! Glad I found your channel. You do some cool stuff!
@@PohlBarnProductions no, problem, some my say to use a vibrating device, however in my experience I think that a vacuum chamber would be best. Apart from a vacuum pump they are easy to build and are very powerful, that's why they are used on most products that need to guarantee the bubbles are removed, from fibre glass yachts to jewellery molds.
This is the first of your videos that I have seen, but I think the vase is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen! I am just starting in resin art, but I truly believe I was meant to be a wood worker. I just get excited when I see someone turning a piece of wood into something completely different and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift.
My hubby & I picked up turning not long ago & have been watching many of your video's. This piece is lovely & your work across the video's with the tips & fixes is just fantastic. Thank you for posting them & wish you continued success for many years into the future. :)
This is 1 of my all time favorites from you. It is almost a genre of its own. It actually IS for me. I plan to turn an entire series in this "genre", "style" "motiff" etc.
Hey, I want to thank you for your transparency. You were willing to show some problems you encountered and how you dealt with it. Most wouldn't dare to show a 'problem' they gotta act like nothing ever goes wrong for them. Thanks for being real, because the rest of us DO have problems, and the temptation for many is to hide it or destroy it... you show how to make it look good despite the problem. Way to go!!!!
Thank you Scott, before I started this channel I couldn't find many who had issues and how to get around them, I connected with those people so I thought I would do the same.
That's ONE of the reasons I enjoy your site as much as I do... the SECOND reason is that your laugh reminds me of a really good friend I lost to cancer 20 years ago... it's uncanny. Anyway, thanks again for the great videos you put out
This is so awesome! I am asking my hubby to make me a workshop at his body shop. My dad was a woodworker and so was his father. Hopefully he can help me learn. Watching your videos makes my day! Its so calming and you always get an awesome reward at the end. The finished product is beautiful!
Your videos, among others, are part of what made me finally buy a lathe 🙂 This is probably one of my favourite pieces so far. Please keep 'em coming! - Mike
Adding my two cents worth, I have a possible fix for your voids. In jewelry casting we pour investment around a wax model. Very important that you ad least vibrate it on a vibrating plate or in a chamber vacuum it so the air bubbles come to the surface. When you have uneven surfaces like the stick small voids can occur with trapped air. When you put it under pressure the resin is a bit more thick, and the pressurization can cause those voids to move. Those are the trails of air voids you're getting. Good luck, I like your work
Vibrating tables seem to be seriously underused in the epoxy community. The little plate vibrator I bought on eBay for concrete projects wasn't cheap, and any of these woodworkers would be easily able to build a small table to clamp it to.
you know it's because we don't have the means to stabilize it, and or the wood might of had moisture in it, some day we will get all the toys to have trouble free castings !
Doubt you'll see this, but I just wanted to drop a comment and let you know that my son Aiden LOVES your videos. He's been making us watch them at bedtime lately. He's going to be 10 years old next month and has autism. Since this particular video went up, we've probably watched it about 18 times. He especially loves the intro bit where the Pohl Barn sticker is spinning on the lathe and stops. And I guess there was a bit in another video where you counted to 10 while the video was sped up, so your voice sounded funny. He likes to imitate that. Pretty hysterical. So yeah, thanks for doing what you're doing and God bless.
Thank you Jeff, I try to read and comment on them all Jeff, some times it takes a couple days to get to them but I always comment after reading them. If you would like shoot me an email with your address and I'll send Aiden a sticker or two. it's in the description below my video I think, it's some place people always email me. LOL
@@PohlBarnProductions - Haha, that's great. I actually just hit up your shop and bought him one today. I was talking to my wife about buying him one of your items for his birthday.
Alan, You probably already know this but putting your epoxy under a vacuum rather than pressure while curing will do better eliminating air bubbles. As you know you start with vacuum and after it has boiled off for a few minutes you let it go back to atmosphere. Cured a lot under a bell jar over the years. Keep up the great work. Love your work!!
Thank you...Doug- My name is Doug not Alan. I do know that and until recently I did not have the equipment for vacuum, I just did one like you suggested this week, I guess we will see how that works out. Thanks for watching.
@@PohlBarnProductions Doug, I am so sorry. I do not know how I came up with Alan. I will keep watching Doug as you are very creative and produce some beautiful pieces.
We have relatives here of your "swamp sticks" species, "creek sticks" and "lake sticks" and all can be turned. Beautiful vase regardless of the slight issues, thank you again Doug.
i suggest for a project like this, you can make a round led lighted base that the vase sits on so it can light up tye vase with the flowers in it... the light will be shinning up from the bottom through it so i think it would really bring out the detail
Most people wouldn't have given those branches a second look, but you turned them into a thing of beauty! Kudos to you!
Thank You, not even worth being fire wood
I love your patience and persistence! It reminds me that anything worth doing requires both of those. I thing the vase turned out beautiful!
Doug, it's Beautiful! You don't give yourself enough credit.
Thank you Shawna. I know I don't.
Taking scrap wood. Pouring a resin on it and turning a beautiful piece are artwork. Absolutely beautiful
Thank You Bob
Nice. Who said you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear. That color blends very well with the wood, nice work and keep smiling.
Thank you Terry
So beautiful I can almost cry. Your work leaves me almost breathless.
Awwww Thank You Melena
I love this. that green and some purple would look cool 😃
Thank you Emilly, HMMMMM Green and Purple sounds good, on the ta do list !
Awesome can't wait 😊
I enjoy watching a master working. My Dad did not have as good a set up as you have. I learned to love wood working from watching.
Thank you very much Susan!
I love your description of what a "swamp stick" is. I know this one gave you some fits, but I think it finished out awesome! Great job Doug! - Ed
Thank you Ed, they all give me some fits, just gotta work through them.
Re-watching some of your older videos 📹 👍💞💖💞👍
You're the best! Thank you Rebekka
Loved the color of the vase it was so pretty
Thank you Norma
You look at things in a classy way and create masterpieces from them
Thank You Ali
"It's an unknown species, I found in the swamp. And it's a stick." LOL I love it. You don't know how hard I laughed at that!
The resin is as clear as any colored glass. Beautiful vase
Yes! Thank you Judith!
Previously, I loved the berry blue that u did, now that I've seen red-- omg it's absolutely beyond extraordinary!! Love it! Really makes the wood pop😍😍😍

I think it's beautiful!!! It's the imperfections that makes it more valuable because you know that it's not processed.
Thanks again Linda
You made me soo nervous working on top of your table saw. My husband would have freaked. great job though!
Thank you Connie, My table saw has been a great bench for over 20 years, LOL and it still works just fine.
@Gary McMichael kbk8
Thanks Connie. I thought the same thing. A table saw is an expensive piece of equipment that can bite you in the ass in an instant. It is not the place to junk up with spilled resin or other crap. That is what the workbench is for.

What I love about your channel is that unlike other youtubers, you are not afraid of showing the flaws in your products. Kudos for your sincerity.

Thank You John, I sprayed it on cabinets for a year or so but it wasn't this rattle can cheap crap either,
Gotta admit, the title caught my eye!
Thank you
You do realize that the flaws are what make an individual piece unique. Therefore, your flaws make it more meaningful. Love it.
Thank You Yes I do. I sell these pieces so I make sure everyone knows what those flaws are ahead of time.
What a great project, why don't you use a vacuum chamber to get rid of the air gaps ?
Thank you Nick, I do not have one yet.

My first wood turning video as well. Liked it a lot. He was critical of his work but I thought it looked fabulous!
Thank you Vernon
It is what it is and I like it! Thanks for sharing Doug.
Thank you Tina
Gorgeous. I think I know what I am going to do when I retire. Every project is a surprising discovery.
Thank You Robert, You can do it!
That is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I would never have believed a stick would have made something so so beautiful
Thank You Janice, a rotten stick out of the swamp at that, I do think this is choke cherry but still not positive .

Turned out beautiful even with all the troubles within the resin.

I think it's a beautiful creation...
It's better than what I'd probably do...🇬🇧👍
Thank you Glenn, Oh stop you can do this also !
Awesomely beautiful

"Swamp Thing" A very interesting project Doug, as expected! Love the outcome, especially the fantastic colours.
