I found your channel one night when I couldn't sleep. After watching one of your videos, I was so calm, that I fell right to sleep. I can only imagine being so talented as yourself and not have to worry about losing fingers with my clumsy self. Thank you, Sir for sharing your world with us.
Another very well illuminated video with NO annoying music, and NO annoying volume levels. This is refreshing. I like your style of video to posts the types of abrasives and sanding sealers and such as I am not aware of this process at your level. Another cup of coffee gone. A wealth of knowledge gained. Happy Turning.
Thanks very much Lee! I think the music can sometimes be the one thing that turns some people off of these kinds of videos, so I’m really glad you’re enjoying it! Cheers!
The grains and textures of this bowl are simply outstanding - I love it! You have incredible foresight to begin with a piece of wood and create something so beautiful. Great Job!
Thank you for starting every video with a portion showing that you sharpen your tools before every turning. For years I turned really rough looking and lousy pieces and couldn't figure out why. I started doing this and now they are very smooth lousy pieces. Oh well, baby steps!
I'm in tears, sitting here watching you, David. Th is so beautiful. I'm 78 years old and have absolutely no proficiency with woodworking and/or things mechanical. Thank you so much for this video. I subscribed and can't wait for he next video I will rest happy tonight.
Joe I'm 75 and have always had trouble working with wood until I started turning 3years ago on a old/used Delta Midi lathe! We're never too old to learn!
If your eyes are ok and your hands don't shake you're never too old. But you might find it helpful to wear gloves. A lot of mature-age woodturners find the little flakes of wood tear into their skin - our skin gets thinner and more fragile as we age.
Preciosos trabajos, muchas gracias por compartir. Espero pronto retomar las enseñanzas de mi abuelo (RIP) y aprender más sobre trabajar la madera. Congratulation, Greetings from Costa Rica
I don't usually like live edge burls like this, but this one has parts that look like feathers on the outside and that's really cool. Looks really nice!
I really like that you do such light clouted staining. So many other videos you watch, they have this beautiful piece of wood with all this interesting patterns and they just drown it out in these really dark stains. Great job as always.
Dear David, I stumbled over your wood turning videos and simply admire how you work with the finest woods and also your vision for each project. My special moment is always when you apply oil to the surface. The wood starts to shine as if it comes to even more and brighter life. I also got to see some wood which I didnt know of. So pretty. For me thats art: to have the vision, the power, the craftmanship and the corresponding tools to make such things like you do. Your videos have also changed my perspective for any wooden object like lamp post, wooden bowls,or any other such item. Time isnt essential when crafting. I know that out of my own experience. But I craft with copper wire, beads, gemstones and wool. Please keep posting your videos. Thank you. Please stay healthy and take care.
Hi David...beautiful bowl....awesome turn and video...I would kill for a burr like that...pity you can't cut out the middle to use on another project....great job...All the best.....Andy
Thanks very much, Andy! Yeah, I really wish I had a bowl saver jig. It cost me $67 on ebay, and it was a Christmas gift to my grandmother. Cheers and Happy New Year!
One more stunning example of skill and 3D imagination in wood. I’m green with envy and when this Virus goes I am going on a wood turners 2 day corse. Hope every one stays safe and well. Eddy
Oh! David it’s such a treat to watch you turn. I’m a great fan of your work. Your style is elegant and discreet profiles. Very appealing. I try to imitate you but off course you have years of experience and have the privilege to find the sensational wood which makes a remarkable difference. I’ll keep at as I enjoy tremendously to turn. See you soon in the next video soon.
David I love the way you start your videos, first a little piece of your beautiful surroundings and then you start the business part. This burl bowl you made is outstanding magnificent and spectacular, what a stunningly beautiful piece of wood. Thank you for sharing it with us all.
All I can say is.....WOW! What beautiful work you do. It's such a pleasure watching someone so talented create a unique and wonderful piece of art. Thank you for sharing.
Una auténtica obra de arte, por la belleza de la madera y por tu trabajo para extraer y darle forma en el torno. Cuando vi el exterior del bowl y la hermosura de la parte superior pensé que podías renunciar al interior: era una bella escultura de madera. Pero hiciste un interior fabuloso, con ese color rojizo y el borde natural que recuerda los quiebres y las irregularidades de la naturaleza. Resumiendo: admiro este trabajo y te agradezco por compartir su proceso creativo.
Thanks Peter! I had hoped to make the walls thinner, but I realized when hollowing, that a bit of the live edge on the inner side would have been removed had I made the walls any thinner. I do want to try making a thin-walled burl form sometime.
Эта ещё одна вещь на каторую можно смотреть бесконечно. Разглядывать эти бесконечные и незамысловатые рисунки природы каторые с помощью рук мастера приобретают смысл...
David, you are so creative, gorgeous piece once again. Beautiful music also, so lovely to listen to while you work your magic. Hi from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks Sue! Glad you like the music, sometimes I think music in woodturning videos can tend to put some people off. But I try to find good songs 🧐 cheers from Maine!
Hey Sue - do you woodturn? I'm in western central Victoria with a woodheap full of yellow ironbark and I'm not fit enough even to cut it up for firewood. I'd love to see someone turn a piece of it on TH-cam!
Mama Simmer Plays Hi, no I don’t, but am in awe of David, he is so talented.Thank you so much for the offer though. Bless you. Where in Victoria do you come from? I live near Colac Victoria. Hope your staying virus free?
im not usually a fan of natural edge bowls. usually. you so evermore nailed this one. stunning! its absolutely gorgeous! thanks dark matter for mentioning this channel.
Thanks Dave! I'm not very experienced with turning natural edge bowls and things, so I'm still learning. Next time I think I'd want to get the wall thickness down a bit... Cheers!
Saw some of his items on Etsy. Realized that his art and skill is too expensive for me to buy. His creations are certainly worth the prices. I love this bowl.
Once again, a masterpiece. I love a live edge like that. There are lots of incredible wood turners on here but your the only one I subscribe to. Your editing and music add so much to the experience. You’re quite the artist. Thank you.
Thanks so much Jeff! I appreciate you! ✌️ I have learned a ton from other woodturners on TH-cam. It’s a great community of some really talented artists. 👊
Wonderful to find your channel. Live the wood turning but it's all the better when the artisan is local. Beautiful work and congratulations on your success. Happy New Year!
Exceptionally Nice video and art work of love! GOD BLESS you David in your future work! Jesus Loves You and He smiles when we create something from something He Created! Hope you have a Blessed New Year!
Christopher Saint Germain That’s a difficult question and it would depend on the brand and the amount of use the lathe has seen. For example if the prior owner turned huge off balance pieces routinely that could wear on the bearings. But a lathe is a fairly simple piece of equipment compared to other power tools. So likely buying a used lathe could be perfectly fine.
Oh mate, that was superb, well done! Only got into these types of vids thanks to quarantine but I'm addicted now! Lovely to also see something created without copious amounts of epoxy 👍
The epoxy and timber turnings are lovely too. A lot of them are working with unsound timber that would shatter if they tried to turn it without the epoxy.
Another excellent wood turning, David. You definitely have a wonderful talent turning such nice pieces with only a year or two experience. In an earlier video where I posted a comment and I made a comment about lathes, you asked me I had any recommendations for a new lathe to buy. You indicated you were looking at a big Grizzly lathe. If you have not bought a new lathe yet, I suggest that you take a look at the American Beauty and Robust lines. They are more expensive machines, but higher quality goes along with the price tag. I do not handle these machines in my industrial machine business product lines, but currently looking into handling them now. I am very impressed with these machines.
Thanks so much! I have not bought a new lathe, and I’m fairly certain to rule out the Grizzly simply because of the poor reviews of the customer service. Yeah that Robust American Beauty is my dream lathe. I’m praying my current lathe lasts till I can get one of those. But I may go with the Laguna 2436 possibly.
The Laguna you mentioned is a great machine. You should like it. I have very few service calls and warranty issues with them. Despite your feelings about customer service with Grizzly, they still make a nice product and are a little more reasonably priced. But customer service is very important and totally understand your concerns. Most of my business is in the plastic injection industry and some of the larger manufacturers who make excellent equipment sometimes have customer service issues. They are getting better now that economic conditions around country have vastly improved. My business has doubled in the last three years and I struggle with customer service Issues because things are moving so fast economically. I need to hire more people with good people skills, but a lot of younger folks these days don’t have them. And many just don’t want to work or learn the business. They just want a pay check and jump from job to job; showing me no stability as a dependable employee. Most can’t pass the drug tests that I require. I have hired retirees to pick up the slack and that’s been a good move for me. So, hopefully my customer service will soon get to be where it needs to be.
MAGNIFICENT,,, just simply MAGNIFICENT. I really enjoy your videos,,, sweet creations, nice music, great camera angles and no overly long captions. You have the knack for this venue. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄☃️🤗💞
Hey David... How about taking those maple burl cut offs and maybe a few other scrap pieces of other wood and mixing them together with some black resin & creating something resembling a mixture of wood & volcanic glass, if that makes any sense....👌😋
I’ve seen other videos where people mix resin with gaudy greens & reds but I believe using a black or white resin would reveal something much more elegant & beautiful!
Hi David, What a beautiful piece of Maple Burr. The bowl is fantastic. The camera angles were really clever. Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos. Cheers, Huw
Another nice wood turning. Excellent!! Great video showing small town Christmas scenes. I like it. Not only do you turn nice pieces of wood, the video presentations are excellent. Merry Christmas to you and your viewers.

David, thank you for sharing your projects. We need as much beauty in the as possible. Very, very beautiful.
I would love to have this beautiful object in my world. This is a wonderful celebration of that original burl. This feels somehow alive.
The illuminated turning put me into a trance. Finished piece is worthy of art show.
Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you, Christina!

A beautiful piece of wood in the first place, but you absolutely did it justice and then some. Outstandingly beautiful.

There something therapeutic about watching woodturning.
Thanks for your comment, Steve! You're so right!
Especially with the great music! What was the piece that started after the 2 hour wait around 6:00 or so. Nice work!

You make it look so easy yet I know it’s a lot of hard work and practice. You do beautiful work.
That piece turned out awesome... Really loved how it turned out. Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much, Melissa!
None of that ugly resin! Beautiful piece, thank you for the video.
Thanks! I appreciate you. I do hope to start working with resin at some point, but I do not plan on filling every void in wood with resin. 😉✌️👊
I'm so happy you added that decorative touch to the pedestal portion of the foot. That simple touch really makes it stand out!
Thank you so much!
Wonderful music!! I had to watch again as I fell asleep the first time thru. But great bowl.
Probably the most visually mesmerizing videos of wood turning ever. Great job.
Thanks so much, Jim!
Couldn’t agree more...
Outstanding!
That burl sure made a beautiful bowl. I bet that sold really fast. Just gorgeous.
One more stunning example of skill and 3D imagination in wood. I’m green with envy and when this
Virus goes I am going on a wood turners 2 day corse. Hope every one stays safe and well. Eddy

Heel erg bedankt, Maria! Vrolijk kerstfeest en een gelukkig nieuwjaar!
So beautiful I'm so addicted to your video's!! It doesn't have to be fancy to be spectacular! As always your loyal fan 😀
Amazing burl loved the look of it. I always know you and your artistic ability (both wood, music and video technicality) never disappoint.
Such a beautiful piece of wood having its heart cut out and leaving nothing but a shell of its former glory
And absolute joy to watch you work.
Yet another I love to see over and over. Your Live edge creations are gorgeous !
Thank you so much!
Absolutely beautiful work. Really enjoyed your sharing that experience with the Maple Burl. My favorite next to your Koa project.
Thank you so much!
Wow! Outstanding work, best burl bowl I have seen by far, you bring out the best in each piece, great watching you
Thank you so much, I appreciate that!
David, little bid thinner wall would make it more pleasing to my eye. But then again 100 people, 100 opinions. What counts is, what pleases you.
Thanks Peter! I had hoped to make the walls thinner, but I realized when hollowing, that a bit of the live edge on the inner side would have been removed had I made the walls any thinner. I do want to try making a thin-walled burl form sometime.
such a lovely bowl, so warm and cheerful

inspirational, makes me want to go in the shed and start turning, ive had a few so that wont be happening, but given me some great ideas.
Beautiful workmanship David
Thanks! Cheers!
The Golden Egg! So beautiful!! Great work!
Your videos are so relaxing and beautifully done on top of the amazing woodturning you do. Thank you for the lovely experience.
Thank you so much Elizabeth! Cheers and Merry Christmas!
One of my favorite parts of your video is right at the beginning where you sharpen the tool...
Thank you! It’s a crucial step!
@@DavidAdamsen Just wondering.. Is there a generic term for the various gouges, parting tools etc? Are they chisels or what?
snevel I think chisels would accurately describe them. I have actually used some of them as chisels to manually carve out the center on a piece.
@@DavidAdamsen thanks 👍

This is exactly why I want a lathe, ideas are endless. Great Job!
Thanks Chris! Good luck!
Very very nice. I wish I had your gift of being able to see the end product before even starting the work.
Thanks! I don’t always know exactly what I’m going for but I always have a plan. Gotta stay flexible because you never know what’s inside the wood!
Very beautiful bowl.....
Thanks! Cheers!
thank you for leaving the base on it, so many wood turners butcher a nice piece at the very end...
My pleasure, Victor!
Epic doesn't completely describe it...this is astounding!! Well done!
Thanks Johannes!
The wood is beautiful and what a wonderful piece! Love the edge!
Thanks K! ✌️
Saw some of his items on Etsy. Realized that his art and skill is too expensive for me to buy. His creations are certainly worth the prices. I love this bowl.
I appreciate your comment Glenda. Stayed tuned though! I will be turning a giveaway project in my next video!
Lovely finished bowl David, and you are so lucky to be able to obtain wood like this to work with. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Ebay is a wonderful place that has me wrapped around its little finger. Cheers!
Simply beautiful! Thanks for sharing your talent!!!
Thank you, Eddie!

Just want to get some of that wood and try to be as creative as you are. Great job!
Cheers Garry! Happy turning!
Absolutely gorgeous! I turned some beautiful cherry burls but have never scored a maple burl...some day!
Thanks Carol! I've never turned cherry burl, but it is a very common to this location, and I have some drying! Good luck in your projects!
Again, simply awesome. Some people (like you!) just have talent and skill. RESPECT
Thanks very much!
The bowl turned out amazing. Im having to watch videos instead of doing my own turnings since my lathe broke. And your videos are my favorite to watch
Thanks so much, Logan! I hope you're back up and turning soon! Cheers and Merry Christmas!
Wonderful to find your channel. Live the wood turning but it's all the better when the artisan is local. Beautiful work and congratulations on your success. Happy New Year!

Haha, thanks. I really do need a lazy susan.
Oh mate, that was superb, well done!

Watching an artist turn a beautiful piece of wood into a piece of art is time well spent. Thank you.
Thanks very much!!
Hey David... How about taking those maple burl cut offs and maybe a few other scrap pieces of other wood and mixing them together with some black resin & creating something resembling a mixture of wood & volcanic glass, if that makes any sense....👌😋
That's a really cool idea, George!
I’ve seen other videos where people mix resin with gaudy greens & reds but I believe using a black or white resin would reveal something much more elegant & beautiful!
I feel like people who do this are super chill
LOL, thanks Xavier!
Hi David, What a beautiful piece of Maple Burr. The bowl is fantastic. The camera angles were really clever. Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos. Cheers, Huw
Thank you very much! Cheers Huw!
I love your finishing on this piece! The heating after waxing is new to me- going to try it. Merry Christmas
Thanks Scott! It was a precaution to avoid any wax buildup from the feed-n-wax.
