For me, it has taken a while to bring my work to the right level and to learn who my customers are. It is rewarding to have folks pick up a $250 or $300 bowl and be happy to pay for it. Not everyone is a $250 customer, but that's just fine. Developing a customer base and a reputation takes time and work. When people ask me "how long does it take to make that bowl", I ask if they want me to start with the process of harvesting the tree - it usually puts things into perspective. Thanks for taking the time to produce these videos - there's so much to learn.
When I get asked, sometimes I would say 24 year, lol. Thanks for watching
Regarding prices on your work, as long as you are selling them, the only concern is are you not putting enough value on them. A neighbor of mine does ceramic restoration (Lakeside Pottery) and he told me once that they were so inundated with work that they couldn't keep up with it. So, he more than doubled their prices and still the work came in that they were more than busy.
Now your thinking 😜😜 thanks!
@@SpragueWoodturning how much for an urn, plz? Enough to fit 2 bags of ashes? My dad wants to go in with my moms ashes when he passes.
OMG how absolutely beautiful. I just recently buried my husband. That ern would have been perfect. They had his ashes in a lovely wooden box
So sorry for your loss! Thanks for watching.
I have never heard about woodturning up until a week ago, when one of your videos appeared on my home page. Now I cannot stop watching and enjoy the vids so much. Keep up the great work. Thank you.
Awesome, thanks for watching!
The combination of the black pearl resin and the resin-stained wood makes this look almost like it was carved out of stone. Excellent work!
Thanks for watching
I like the black pearl. The transitions between the wood and the epoxy somehow seem a little more natural looking with the black.
Thanks for watching
That wood is SO beautiful! It's amazing how Mother Nature works.
Thanks for watching
Another great piece. I held my breath when you put that on the vacuum to finish the bottom. I had a flash of that beautiful work flying across the shop. Thank you for all you do for us.
I have that flash every time, haha. Thanks for watching
It is amazing how much the blank absorbed the Designer Epoxy. Great looking urn.
Thanks for watching
I'm sure the family will be proud to have it hold their loved one's remains inside the beauty!
Thanks for watching
The drama in this piece is beautiful. The wood graining is astonishing
Thanks 😊
beautiful urn! I would love to see all 3 urns together sometime!
Might be able to post a photo on Instagram and Facebook. Thanks for watching
How beautiful, browns, beige, black all blends so perfect together. Another beautiful piece of work!
I agree with you on the browns and beiges, they add so much to this urn. @Spraugewoodturning I would have enjoyed hear about those additional colors.
Thanks for watching!
Hand crafted items such as my blanket or anyone's quilts rarely come out a head. Sometimes you barely cover cost of materials. Your work is worth the price.😊
Thank you so much!
The boxwood Burl is beautiful. The black pearl is lovely. The lid is very nice.
Thank you very much!
I love the black pearl effect. It contrasts beautifully with the wood burl!
Thanks for watching
This one was super informative - I’d no idea what the CODB of a career like this would be. Photography is another undervalued vocation. People don’t realise how much goes into what we do, they just see ‘art’. They do not always see craft.
Excellent work, as always!
Thanks!
Your work is such a high standard!
The Black blended in perfect with the wood.
IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND SO BEAUTIFUL 😍
5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks for sharing 👍 your absolutely beautiful work 🏆🎖 GOLD 24CT WORK!
Take care Jim 👍
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
Hi from British Columbia. I am happy to support the channel of a very talented fellow Canadian.
Great! I really appreciate it!
Beautiful urn. I love t h e black pearl. People who don't have a craft they have no idea on cost to make or produce. I make quilts and people don't understand labor. I enjoy watching you and your creative process.
Thanks for watching!
Although maybe a little morbid, your work with the Designer Epooxy is so stunning that it makes me want to buy a custom urns from you for my husband and I and just put them up for when we pass this earth, so my kids will have them for our final resting place. We are only 46 and 48, so maybe a little premature, but you never know! Absolutely gorgeous work.
Yes, way too early, lol. Thanks for watching
Amazing work and use of an equally amazing burl! The Designer Epoxy appears to be very nice to work with. I really like the hint of red in the burl also.
Love the box elder burl. The Designer Epoxy compliments the burl beautifully.
Yes it does. Thanks for watching
I love the Rock and I am glad you named your rock after him.
Thanks for watching
Jim, this is a stunning urn! The black with the figuring in the burl is so beautiful!
Thanks for watching
ART! So elegant. Boxelder is my favorite of the wood you work with. The combo of the black with the gold is elegant. I wonder if one day you will branch out into complementary colors in addition to the contrasting colors. I imagine an amber colored resin would be gorgeous with this wood, being a sort of extension of it rather than bounding it, if that's clear. Anyway, really lovely urn. Thanks and Congratulations.
I really like contrasting colors, thanks for watching!
Wow this is beautiful
I can't begin to tell you how much I wish I had 1K to spend on this urn. Spectacular.
Thank you very much
Came out beautiful. Nice thing about black is that it goes with everything, black never clashes.
Yes, it’s a neutral color. Thanks for watching
The urn looks Amazing! Love the coloring of the wood with the dark resin! Another true piece of useful ART! Love it thanks for doing what you do❤
I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
The urn is magnificent! Very beautiful with subtle sophistication, Jim. Thank you!
Thanks for watching
I love the shine on this piece. Never apologize for shine. 🙂
Lol. Thanks for watching
DESIGNER EPOXY LOOKS GREAT AGAIN! AS USUAL!
Thanks for watching
The variety of woods you get to work with is just awesome. The gloss finish really adds a great pop to the project also.
Agreed. Thanks for watching!
So cool to be able to watch what goes on in the vacuum chamber!! I like that! Again, an amazing piece, Mr. Jim!! I am always blown away by the pieces that you create!! Beautiful!! This urn actually brought tears to my eyes because of its beauty!!!
Thank you so much!
This is a beautiful urn. The black pearl resin is lovely and the wood is so pretty. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Thanks for watching
What a beautiful talented Professional beauty. It makes my heart sing.❤️👏
Thank you very much!
My, my, my. I am so envious of the person who will be owning this piece and hope they know how lucky they are. That burl is absolutely breathtaking along with the black pearl pigment. The combination of the two just makes it such and eye catching piece and probably my most favorite of the pieces i have seen prior to it. Another satisfying video and STUNNING piece. Keep them coming please. Much love from Virginia.
Thanks for watching!
I love the colors. I have a piece of American smoke tree with some burl on it that I have been drying to do a vase with black resin. Also, glad you talked about the cost of it. It makes me feel better about the price points of some of the hybrid wood/resin vases or larger segment bowls I have done
Thanks for watching
A pot worhy of being planted in! Beautiful . Always enjoy your videos thanks again Jim.
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely stunning!!! You have me speechless. My wife loves the shine on it and rightly so.
Great! Thanks for watching
Beautiful tribute/resting vessel for a loved one. Awesome. ❤
Thanks 😊
This urn is stunning! I love the black pearl and how it turned the wood so dark. What an amazing job, Jim! 💜
Thanks 😊
That piece is soooo gorgeous I felt my heart & soul ache with it. To think that a dead -- & diseased if I understand your fungus comments properly -- tree could become something so glorious is amazing! (Glorious because you really brought out the glory in the "past its prime" wood!)
*DO NOT DOUBT YOURSELF!*
You are a true, talented artisan: price your pieces accordingly.
Thank you very much!
I make purses, travel bags, and backpacks. A lot of people do not understand the time and material cost that goes into handcrafted one of a kind items. They see mass produced and cheaply made goods in the stores at low prices and think my price is way to high. I highly value my customers who do appreciate a well made custom handbag and the effort and skill I put into making it. Your urn is gorgeous.
Thank you very much!
Really stunning piece! So beautiful 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching
Designer Epoxy + Jim Sprague = spectacular results! Well done Jim, I'm loving the black resin!
Thanks for watching
I must say, I am in love with the black. It is stunning, Well done Jim
Thanks 😊
That box elder burl a black pearl is a wonderful combination! Wow! Love this piece. Great work.
Designer Epoxy
Thanks for watching
Beautiful urn - I agree, the black resin is gorgeous, and the Designer Epoxy does an amazing job. Thank you for such great content.
Thanks for watching
Oh man, it’s so nice! We thought it was just black but then noticed the pearl, goodness! My favorite part of all your videos is when you apply the waterlox and it just pops!
It’s the best part, lol. Thanks for watching!
Black pearl with the boxelder is beautiful combination. Thank you.
Thanks for watching
It’s just stunning with the black and burl eyes.
Me too. Thanks for watching
Designer Epoxy I agree it's a beautiful urn, Jim!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Designer Epoxy. Very nice final resting place Jim, so to speak. It is so colorful, with the resin and different shades of the wood. Nature is so wonderful.
Thanks for watching
What a lovely Urn, imple elegant..The black pearl is beautiful with that box Elder.
Thanks for watching
The contrast between the black and the wood is very nice.
Sure is. Thanks for watching
This turned out beautifully. I enjoy Friday videos and look forward to my tea and turning video!
Thanks for watching
That is amazing! Stunning!!! The burl by itself is lovely but the black pearl sets it off perfectly!
WOW!
Thanks for watching
❤it. That piece was absolutely breathtaking. To see how you put your heart into your work it tells me how much you love doing this. Thank you for blessing us with such beautiful pieces
Thank you so much!
Designer epoxy. Absolutely magnificent. The colors in that burl looked beautiful with the black pearl resin. That was a great combo. Take care
Thanks for watching
Very Beautiful Urn ⚱️. Love the color pattern and the Black resin with the pearl.
Thanks for watching
I really love the black pearl. The urn is beautiful and I like how it shines.
Thanks for watching
I don't think I've seen anything as gorgeous as this!
Thank you very much!
@@SpragueWoodturning You are most welcome
Love the Urn! I agree that the black pearl on this project is stunning! Thanks for the video! [Designer Epoxy]
Thanks for watching
Wow Jim that piece has shined up like a new Lamborghini. Absolutely stunning!
Ow that’s a complement, lol. Thanks for watching
You are an unbelievable wood turner. You explain why, about everything.It would be fantastic to own a piece of your wood work but you politely explained why I can’t. 😂
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it!
The black pearl designer epoxy really looks nice. Can’t wait for the next peacock hollow form.
Thanks for watching
Absolutely stunning! That black with the box elder burl is gorgeous!
Thank you very much!
What a fantastic piece of woodd, it do have the look like an old Grec urne.
You are the best Jim.
Thank you.
❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching
Another beautiful piece. I love the contrast of the black with the lighter wood.
Me too. Thanks for watching!
The black is just so classy. Beautiful finish on that designer epoxy.
Thanks for watching
Absolutely beautiful 👍🏻 Definitely an honor for a last resting place. Designer Epoxy. Thank you for another awesome video
Thanks for watching
Fully agree with you, BEAUTIFUL! Love the burl and your resin colors are fabulous. Great piece.
Designer Epoxy
Thanks for watching!
Man Jim, even before you got to sanding my wife and I were commenting on the beauty of this piece.
Thanks for watching
Many hours of work and a lot of talent.
Thanks 😊
Designer epoxy. One word spectacular.
Thanks!
Your comments about pricing ring true. I mess around making jewellery and now am able to see what exactly goes in to making a piece.
I really like your work and find your videos to be really interesting and your voice and accent is really soothing too.
Thanks 😊
The laborer is worthy of his hire. From the highest authority.
Thanks 😊
It is beautiful! The black provides a stunning contrast to the beautiful natural wood.
The Designer epoxy contest 🤞
Thanks 😊
Georgous urn and I like the black pearl resin with the burl.
Thank you very much!
I be willing to bet there were some bad words echoing through your shop when you touched the side of the piece! Fantastic - one of my favourites so far Jim. Thanks also for the discussion about pricing - helped me reinforce my own theories on the matter.
Yup! 🤯🤯🤯 Thanks!
Wow. That black pearl is beautiful
Thanks!
designer epoxy giveaway!!! wwwoooot!!! and that urn is magnificent!!! congrats on another great turn!
Thanks for watching
Jim, very beautiful the DESIGNER EPOXY really adds to the beauty.
Agreed. Thanks for watching
Amazing work. Been watching for 1 1/2 years and always looking forward to Friday for new video.
Thanks for watching!
The black resin and boxelder work together really well to make a beautiful piece. It's funny how boxelder/Manitoba maple is considered a weed species but looks so nice when it's worked. Thanks for the video.
It's nothing much to look at when its in board form, but the burls are awesome! Thanks
The wood used here gives this piece so much character.❤️
Totally, thanks!
These days people know the price of everything but they don't know the value of anything. Your work is amazing and it sure is worth the prices you charge. I even thought they were more expensive, they are absolute works of art. Well done, sir. Greetings from Portugal.
Thank you very much! Welcome aboard!
Oh this one is very elegant! The black resin goes well with the figuring in the wood. You know, $400 is very much a reasonable price for what you make. It's art that takes a lot of time and uses expensive materials, and they're heirloom pieces that should easily be around for a hundred years.
$400 would be only half of the cost of this piece after factoring in resin, sandpaper finishing and other expenses. Thanks for watching!
Stabilizing with the designer epoxy made the burl jump out. Really good job..
Thanks for watching
Hi Jim!!
That black contrasted with the burl is beautiful!!!!!
I have an urn in process. This video helped me greatly with some questions and indecisions that I had!
Thank you Jim!!!!!
Designer Epoxy
Thanks for watching
DESIGNER EPOXY
once again, this is an absolutely gorgeous urn, and I believe the black and the red are my favorite colors so far!!!!
Thanks for watching
Gorgeous Jim. Our best friend died last Monday so I have been looking at a number of urns to try to come up with a shape to turn. This may just be it. Well done
Sorry for your loss! Thanks for watching
That turned out beautiful. The wood really glows against the black
Thanks for watching
Designer Epoxy-Great Piece!!!
Thanks!
Quelle chatoyance!!! This hollow form is really eye candy! You’re getting into such beautiful pieces.
Thanks for watching
wow that timber is stunning and the finish you put on it really makes it pop
Thanks for watching
Seems like I say the same thing each week. Wow! That is a beautiful Urn.
Thanks for watching
That is an urn that would be fit for the queen! The box elder is amazing. I do like the black in the designer epoxy. Thanks for the talk on pricing. I don't think non turners realize how much time goes into a piece. Then a half a second slip and it has to be refinished. A fellow turner gave me a formula he used. Diameter x height x 2.5. The later being adjusted if the wood was more costly. great video and a great urn. Whose ever it is for should be honoured.
Thank you very much!
Wow! What amazing colour/shade combinations. The black, the pearl...then the gorgeous tones of red in the burl!!!
Thanks for watching
