Woodturning - The Biggest Piece I've EVER Made!

- In this video, I turn a large piece of fallen Elm into a massive statement vase!
The wood used to connect the two halves of the vase together was figured Ash, I will be using its offcuts for a video in the future as they are far too beautiful to burn!
The vase was sanded to 1000 grit and finished with Danish oil and Wood wax. Let me know what you think, and if you'd like to purchase this piece. This statement vase is approximately 550mm x 290mm!

Disclaimer:
My videos are for entertainment purposes only. Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first.
And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
WOW Harry!
This is the best and most mature piece you've done...at least that I have seen.
What I mean by mature...
Save for painters, musicians, sculptors, & writers, etc. like da Vinci, Michelangelo, Beethoven, and Shakespeare, the rest of us grow into our art. It takes lots of time, LOTS of practice, passion, drive, letting go of ego... to get to the point where we ['finally'] let ART Itself guide & move us in IT'S Direction & Way. That's where/when/HOW we start to produce mature art. (Sadly, some never do.)
The piece you did here shows me you're starting to let go and let Art guide you.
The shape, lines, the visual texture... how and where it is highlighted... are all brought together to form an excellent piece.
As you worked you moved through the layers to discover it's beauty then carved and formed it to best display that beauty...that's sculpting Harry, SCULPTING.
Remember...
Let go ego,
Embrace humility,
Listen to hear your intuition,
Then follow IT.
(I've been at this a very long time.)
I know, by looking at it, when I was was in my head or when I 'got out of the way.' They are ALWAYS better when I check my ego at the door. When someone compliments me, I say thank you followed immediately with one of two things, either 'God did that, not me' or [laughing] 'It fought me...until I surrendered...and got out of the way.'
If you are willing to walk the path of humility with your art - I GUARANTEE you will find the experience truly meaningful and satisfying, plus you will sometimes be surprised, & sometimes be amazed. The pieces 'you' produce will be on a higher level and they will really get noticed. You will get a lot more traffic on your website. And so on.
I REALLY hope you take in what I'm trying to pass on to you (And everyone else who's reading it) The results will be as different as night and day.
Best,
Rev. Kevin
Very nice piece. The wood grain and tones are beautiful.
Thank you! Do you think it's my best piece yet? It's certainly the biggest!! 😁😊
Simply beautiful with that colour and grain .Surprising how much elm is still about since the decimation from elm disease in the seventies, they continue to throw up suckers that live for a number of years until they in turn succumb to the disease. Cheers Bram
That is some gorgeous wood. Well this is a totally cool new way of making forms. IT is beautiful. Might need to return the gloves to the church, they have take "holy" orders.
😂😂
That is a fantastic piece. That may be the largest piece I have seen turned without a steady rest. Great Work !!!!!
Thank you John! Do you think it's my best piece yet? It's certainly the biggest but my best of a lathe didn't struggle.... maybe I should go bigger!!😁😊
Absolutely stunning piece, I love the grain of this piece.

Gorgeous wood. Nice work.
Beautiful Harry !!!

Looks good.
Thanks Brad! I hope you're looking forward to more videos 😁😊
Impressive. You might want to give those rusty clamps some love, Harry. A bit embarrassing for a guy who has such a professional shop and obvious turning skills.
Beautiful project and video, thank you
Thank you Beverly! Do you think it's my best piece yet? It's certainly the biggest!! 😁😊
Very nice! Wonderful grain.

Thank you! Do you think it's my best piece yet? It's certainly the biggest!! 😁😊
Beautiful! I particularly like your use of the rounded blade, and the finished piece is remarkable. :)
Thank you very much! Do you think it's my best piece yet? It's certainly the biggest!! 😁😊
@@HarrySmithWoodturning It might be - I know I like it very much. It's deceptively 'simple', yet elegant and timeless. You handled the size perfectly. It's beautiful. :)
Отличная работа
That’s really cool!
Thank you! Do you think it's my best piece yet? It's certainly the biggest!! 😁😊
I think it’s the combination of elegant design with a more rustic woodgrain that makes this piece so interesting.
Harry Holly shi# man that must have nearly maxed out your lathe, it turned out fantastic buddy, the grain is lovely, well done.
Thank you! Do you think it's my best piece yet? My best of a lathe didn't struggle.... maybe I should go bigger!! 😁😊
Hi Harry what fabulous wood I love the grain and spaltings and marks on it. The huge piece you have just turned is magnificent. Well done Harry how long did it take you to turn? Amanda xx
Is this a column, a pedestal, a vase? Wish you would inform us about the work you’re doing and pause more often so we can admire the progress.
Thanks for the feedback, it is a vase. Talking is something I may look at in the future, however, my current format really works for me and my viewers. I do have some mini podcasts in which I disuses my turning if you're interested. 😁
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I hope you enjoyed Umberto! 😁😊
@@HarrySmithWoodturning Be sure!
I still wish Harry would talk in his videos.
Thanks for the feedback Dennis, this is something I may look at in the future, however this format really works for me and my viewers. I do have some mini podcasts in which I disuses my turning if you're interested. 😁
Can you share the name of the oil/lacker you use at the end?
Can you tell me the measurements please? 😮
Thanks for watching Sol! It's a massive 550mm x 290mm (approximately) 😉👍
@@HarrySmithWoodturning BIG!!
I love it except for the band around the middle.
Thanks for watching Beverly, it would be almost impossible to hollow out the vase without splitting it in half, so I had to have a band. In future I will try to hide it more 😉😊
