- Woodturning an extraterrestrial object what is actually a banksia nut but certainly looks rather unusual wood with green epoxy resin was looks like slime :) Casted in deep pour epoxy resin and used mica metallic powder for enhanced effect for this one of a kind hybrid wooden vase. For the woodturning part I used my negative rake carbide bits then it was sanded to 3000grit with final buffing at the end to achieve high gloss finish

The green makes this look amazing! Thanks for another fun video. Looking forward to the big project next week.
Thank you so much 🙂
Very cool for such a quick project.
I use dry banksia branches and seed pods (which is what this is) in my fish tanks, good for fish who prefer soft water. The seeds come out of the little mouths (green bits), but only with fire do they open. Many of my countries native species require fire for their seed pods to release their seeds. So fire is a big and natural part of Australia's ecosystem .... just not so good when it happens all at once and everywhere. On some of those days during our terrible bush fires a few years ago temps reached 52C ... the sky was dark grey, the sun a hazy red ball and all you could smell was burning eucalyptus - was like we had been cast into hell.
Incredible. This summer we had 42 here in the UK and caused massive troubles from fires to dehydration etc cannot even imagine 52 🤦♂️
Wow! Sooo Beautiful. 👏🇦🇺
Thank you so much 🙂
Wow so nice
Thank you so much 🙂
You should start collecting the shavings of your more colorful projects, and then cast the shavings in resin to be turned into a ornament or another vase. Just a thought, since every woodturner seems to have so much material thrown away and discarded.
I`m actually from Western Australia and those Banksias are beautiful, I love how you use them in wood turning.
Thank you 🙂 I love Australian woods like banksia and mallee burls
Materials like this that have those natural holes in them have always kind of creeped me out! I feel like something could be lurking in one of the spaces, ready to pounce... but that's just my overactive imagination. I love how it turned out. Great job!
Thank you so much 😊 Also I checked all the holes mainly because of dirt and lose bits and bobs but also could not see any foreign body lurking in there 😀
Parabéns sensacional Deus abençoe vc sempre ótimo trabalho
I have a banksia in my backyard in Melbourne ( different nuts ,seeds ) . Very nice job…love it. In the process of watching all your videos.
kapitalny pomysł, gratuluję, pozdrawiam
Beautiful vase! 💚 The green resin is the perfect match with the banksia.
It really is a stunning piece! 💚
Love how the resin comes off like streamers!
Looking forward to seeing your long expensive project next week!
Thank you so much 🙂
Beautiful ! Top notch like always .
Thank you so much 🙂
Anyone else not like the weird look of the holes clustered together?
I think is fascinating what nature can create
Absolutely beautiful ❤️ just cannot wait to see what you have been creating that has taken you so long and cost a fortune 💖 I would be happy with this little vase, I think it is delightful 🥰
Thank you so much 🙂 Honestly cannot wait to share and she what people think. In my own view this one of my best make and a little hint, will be a NO resin project 😀
Looks cool! Found in nature, augmented with resin 👍🏻
The banksia seed pod and resin twig pot turned out beautiful David.
I think that is absolutely beautiful David! Really such a unique piece
This has to be the creepiest thing I’ve seen come out of turning. Awesome work
Nice use of a Banksia pod. You have such a great narrator's voice! If I had that voice, I wouldn't have to use captions for my videos.
Thank you so much 🙂
Wow that's awesome! Looks amazing, David!
Neat project. Soooo much better with sound OFF.
Hi David can't wait to see your big project hopefully next week. This project is awesome I love the green resin you used it's fabulous. The vase is absolutely amazing well done thank you for a great video. From Amanda xx
Not long to go. Video edited and just doing voiceover ready for tomorrow soon 😉
As an Aussie I have to say that banksia are found all over Australia where ever bushfires are frequent. They are particularly common around Sydney and in fact where discovered there by Sir Joseph Banks (he named it after himself) the botanist on Captain James Cook's ship The Endeavour on the trip where he is credited with discovering Australia.
Great insight thanks so much
Trigger warning for people who suffer from Trypophobia! 😂
I like this little vase, It's simply adorable. I wish you would've left the green neck though. Thank you, looking forward to next week.
Thank you so much 🙂
WOW, just WOW! the work you do is amazing. I'm really glad I voted to have you explain what your'e dong while working, it helps us a lot.
Thank you so much 🙂
this vase looks like an egg laid by some kind of alien from outer space. in the best way possible that’s why i love it. so unique.
can’t wait to see what you have to show us next week, 100+ labor hours?! im intrigued
Yeah the big project was very labour intensive for several reasons but will cover more in the video. But to give a little sneak peek over 700 different peaces came together to form one big artistic piece 😉
WOW that’s a cool piece. I’ve collected burls from around the world from bowling ball sized to table base size and I have so many I think it’s time to buy a lathe and do some of my smaller ones to downsize my collection… so I can buy more 🤣
Thank you so much 🙂 You would not regret buying a lathe but be prepared as it is very addictive 😀
Fortnite Fan?! :-)
That's a great and beautiful job of art
That's very beautiful!!! 😍😍
I wasn't sure about this, but what a beautiful piece. You do very nice work 👍 👍 👍
Thank you so much 🙂
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you 🙂
It has been a while since you started voice overs and staying away from speeding up the video. I still think it was the right move.
Thank Garry much appreciated
Wow, I've never heard of or seen banksia nuts before, I had to have a google too! They're like pine cones' more flamboyant cousins! 🤭 They really seem to lend themselves to unlimited transformation. I saw a beautiful box and some matching tealight holders online made from these nuts. Great video as always David, looking forward to seeing your mammoth project reveal! 🤗
Thank you so much 🙂 Since I bought this my supplier re stocked on banksia so i have some big one i am planning to cut up and make a cool project 😀
@@DavidsWoodturning Ooh great! I'm sure we all look forward to what you create with those 🤗
Really nice piece the green works very well.

That's an amazing piece, Dave!
Gotta love the commentary… So sly and snarky (just enough to keep you on your toes)
Thank you 😀
David, that's the sweetest banksia project I've seen, well done!
Thank you so much 🙂
OMG - upcycling at the best ever!! You made an amazing work of art from a plain ugly vase - what a stunning piece it turned out to be!! I bet the original owner wouldn't believe you got it to look so beautiful!! 😍😮💯👍
Thank you so much 🙂 Now i have bought 5 big nuts (not turned) so will come up with a big vase/bowl/lamp project 😀
Absolutely beautiful vase I could look at this all day
Thank you so much 🙂
Wow that turned out amazing. Next make one bigger as lava lamp
Thank you so much 🙂
Beautiful piece of work x
It’s lovely. Thank you for sharing 🌞
Thank you so much 🙂
WOW SPECTACULAR ART SIR!!!
Quick and simple as you say this piece is, it's still amazing. Using that green was a great choice. Thanks for the great content.
Thank you so much 🙂
Hermoso trabajo
Yes if it’s Australian, it’s origin is alien.
Thank you for this video. I've not done any resin projects yet, but I'm watching closely to learn as much as I can before I try one. So, the bit you added about WHY you wet sand taught me a good bit today! Also, I never thought of connecting the buffing wheels with the tailstock, but I will do that from now on.
I am so pleased to hear my tips being useful to others. If you have any specific topic you want me to cover in future video let me know and will try to accommodate
I'm still pretty new to all this, so...uh...everything?
...it really did turn out amazing...👍
Thank you so much 🙂
Very cool !

Nicely done!

Thank you so much 🙂

Thank you so much 🙂
Well done , once again.
I always love watching the stream of off cuts reminds me of the streamers that explode from poppers at party time. 🎉
Thank you 🙂
Awesome as always David
