Woodturning - The Red Oak Vase Part 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ม.ค. 2023
- Woodturning - In this video I use some red oak that's well past its prime combined with some deep purple tinted resin to make a very interesting vase. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get it done this week but it gives my subscribers a very unique way to interact with me and tell me how to finish the top. Thanks for watching!

I love when you leave the unexpected challenges in your videos. There is so much more to your craft than slapping things together. I think it really shows the mastery of tool and materials to make your art.
Thank you so much!
@@SpragueWoodturning Audience participation is very important to getting people's interest and keeping it! You also did a great job introducing that aspect at the beginning of the video.
Idk if you've ever heard of Toastmasters International, but they teach that as a great way to maintain audience interest!
Jim, if the curves were more balanced, I would definitely say resin, but with on wing dipping farther down, I would have to say go for a wood rim. The great thing about this conundrum is that you can take it slowly and see how it evolves as you are taking it down. You may be surprised with the results.
Thanks!
I agree with John!
Agreed.
I don't know where I am time wise as I am still trying to recover from being really sick with covid. Nearly died, couldn't talk spent more than a month in an adult facility. Mom and I both have been cleared of covid and are home. She did not have it like I did fortunately. My brain seems to still be healing. A little better each day. Ugly disease. It is why I have been absent for so long.. But for what it is worth, I agree with jim. Beautiful so far.
@@joallawestervelt6918 I hope you are doing better!! Sounds like you really got tossed around. Best wishes for a full recovery!
Resin, after all we are members of the “ resin leaks are us.” club. 😎
Yes we are! Thanks
Seriously wish I would have discovered your channel years back. My son and I could have watched with my father in Joshua Tree before he had passed. He also was a wood worker. Awesome work and creativity!
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching!
My vote is resin on such a beautiful color of resin. Beautiful as always.
Thanks for voting
Can't wait for the 2nd part to see how this vase turns out. My favorite color...Thanks for the videos.
Thanks so much 😊
You can always try the lesser and see how it goes and if all else fails than go down to the wood.
What ever you do I’m sure it will be wonderful. It’s always a pleasure to watch you turning and see what art you come up with.
Thanks 😊
My granddaughter says to keep the purple resin top and Grumpa agrees!!
Just love that Designer Epoxy
Love it!! Thanks!
Resin. I agree with what many others have said. Try to keep the resin and if it doesn’t work out or meet your expectations take it on down to the wood. I trust your skill and artistry to produce something beautiful whatever you choose.😊
Thanks
Resin on the top. Yes, red oak would benefit from being stabilized before casting. Designer Epoxy. Great project Jim.
Thanks John!
Filling a hollow log with resin and branches makes for a super cool piece.
Yes it does! Thanks for watching
Can't go wrong with purple! This is going to turn out beautiful.
Thank you very much
I love your channel me and my wife have watched everyone of your videos to the end. Just a lesson I learned about wearing gloves. I was a machinist for a long time. As well as wood turning. I have seen 3 people loose arms because of gloves. The gloves get even slightly grabbed can suck your hands into the tooling and cause severe injuries. I machined wood, steel, carbon, graphite, both mill and lathe. It is a matter of personal choice. But that choose can be costly. I like to make sure everyone knows what can happen. Thank you for sharing. Designer epoxy.
Metal lathes are unforgiving and I bet most of the really nasty injuries are on it. It can happen with a big powerful wood lathe too, but in my case, my lathe would stall as it’s on belts like most wood lathes. Gear to gear lathes are powerful! Thanks for the warnings!
I'm looking forward to seeing this done! My vote is to keep the resin,
Thanks
Whilst I'm mainly here to chill out and watch a cool thing come into existence i wholly appreciate the metric subtitles
Thanks!
Late to show, no resin… now off to part 2 to see the outcome. I love the weirdness and the wicked royal purple color of this project!
Thanks so much!
Jim - I’ve had similar problems with entrapped air when I pour the resin on top of a branch inlay and then count on the air bubbles working their way out through the layer of epoxy. I’ve pretty much eliminated this problem by using a pipette (mini turkey baster) to squeeze the epoxy in at the bottom of the piece through one of the gaps between the branches. This effectively pushes the air out as the resin is squeezed in at the bottom. This also works well to fill deep holes like one you stuck your screwdriver into.
Thanks!
Love the color of the resin. I say have the resin on the top, you can take it off later if you end up not liking it. My vote, resin top.
Thanks for voting
No epoxy designer epoxy ...with every piece we learn something new!!
Thanks!
Love the foreshadowing ... "Nope" "ha, ha" ... Learning and laughing is a good combo
Always, thanks!
I think resin! It doesn’t matter that it’ll be thinner on one side than the other, that’ll be part of this bowls charm. The fact that the rim will be all purple will “tie it all together”. It’s going to be a beauty! 🙂🌸
I can’t leave it uneven, lol. Thanks
@@SpragueWoodturning okay, but what counts as 'uneven', tho? if you take it down to the wood, won't the two sides be different heights from the base?
This colour is just stunning with the oak! I would sag, keep the resin. I will look part two next; whatever you do will be awesome, I know it!
Thank you so much!
On a rewatch, I'm getting a real kick out of Future (Editor) Jim snarking at Past (on screen) Jim about the holes, down in the added text.
Whoever thought up the idea of UV resin was brilliant! I'm learning so much watching this channel.
Lol, thank you very much!
To begin with a piece of wood that looked like that compared to what you created in the end is a miracle! Awesome work, you made another masterpiece! So cool!!
Thank you very much!
Watching that epoxy shine in your last segment, I will vote to keep it. Love your videos, keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Jim, I really appreciate your professionalism, work ethic, ingenuity and talent.
Side note, I would leave the resin on top.
TURN ON!
Thank you very much!
Obviously, purple is the best color! Love the piece!
Thanks 😊
I would say like some others, to try and keep a little epoxy on top! Besides purple is my favorite color! I can't wait for part 2!
Awesome! Thank you!
I'd leave the resin and finish it as it sits. It's easier and I like the idea of the asymmetry on this one.
Thanks
So far it's stunning, and part of that is that resin! I think it should stay, and since you're a pro, you know when and what adjustments to make if it gives you any trouble. I can't wait to see the end result!💜
Thank you so much!
Designer epoxy
Yes to the resin....
Got it! Thanks
Gorgeous wood…love the red oak! The purple resin is stunning too! I really like how the resin highlights the cracks in the branches.
Thanks so much!
This is so very cool with the direction of the limbs. And, the purple is AWESOME!! I would have voted for to keep the resin. But, it will be beautiful either way you choose.
Thanks for voting
Love your work, Jim! I think the unevenness of the epoxy rim could add more charm to an already lovely piece. I say leave it. If you absolutely HATE the look then take it back to the wood. Also if you can leave the top of the vase with the current profile, I think that would look amazing. Regardless of what any of us say, the piece will be just as terrific as you always produce! Have a blessed week!!!
Thank you very much!
Resign at the top Jim. So looking forward to seeing you finish this piece. Looking beautiful so far.
Many thanks
The group of sticks in the center reminds me of a small kitchen at a family reunion.
Thanks 😊
My 2 cents would be resin on top. Really liking the color tho personally I am a fan of much darker purple. Neat idea adding the black pearl to darken it up.
Thanks
Looks great, cant wait for part 2.
Thank you very much!
Just love crystal purple 🥰🥰🥰 20:56 I save plastic containers like this and margarine tubs (I cut cut down) for plant saucers when I bring in my outdoor flowering plants for the winter.
Thank you very much!
Designer Epoxy.
I would love to see some resin on top.. it is unique piece and shape, so don’t think uniformity is needed. Uniqueness wins the turn !
Noted, thanks for watching!
I LOVE your videos!! I vote for resin. That deep purple is an amazing color!!
Thanks for voting
It's looking great so far! I think it's worth a try to keep the resin on top; you can always remove it if it doesn't work out.
Thank you very much!
Another very interesting project. I like the side reveal of the branches. My vote is to take it down to wood then do your magic by adding a purple rim to top it off.
Thanks for voting
Jim, expose the beauty of the wood. Grind the resin off the top. That Designer Epoxy is impressive!
Thank you very much!
This is gonna be spectacular! Love the color and the funky wood. I think a wood edge rim would be better but either will be fine.
Thanks 👍
I only know what I know, which isn't much, but one thing comes to mind.
Completely different process, different everything; but in plumbing, every drain needs a vent.
How to apply that to any of this is beyond me, since your fluid becomes more solid, and you want keep the material; and to purge air requires cycles of constant circulation which negates much of what you look for in finish; I imagine I'm overthinking again, no coffee yet!!
Beautiful work Jim, thank you as always.
You could be right, but I’m pretty sure it the outer oak piece was stabilized first it wouldn’t take resin away from the branch area leaving voids behind. I have another piece of oak exactly like this one and will try that theory in the future. Thanks ☕️☕️
Jim,
I’d say no resin. The design inside the cross branches look pretty cool as well. I’m glad the “Designer Epoxy” didn’t crack👍
Thank you very much
I love this one also, leaving the resin would be beautiful. All the work you go through for the finished projects are extremely helpful, for me. I want to move toward turning, and using resins. The Designer Resin you use, has so many opportunity in art. Seeing it in action brings visions of possibilities.
Go for it! Thanks for watching
Another beautiful piece, anyway it turns out it will be awesome. my vote is to make the resin even, if it doesn't look right or doesn't work out you can always go down to the wood. I think it will turn out great no matter what way you do it.
Thank you! Cheers!
I really like the idea of the resin on the top. But it's like you said, if it doesn't work, then you can just go down to the wood. I can't wait to see it, either way! 💜 And I know what it's like with the not enough coffee. I can't have any until the rest of this heals up. The doctor said that pulling all caffeine would help it not itch as bad and he was right. 🤯
Got to have my coffee, lol. Thanks 😊
Oh my!!! I’m very partial to deep purple - band and colour!!! I absolutely love this and can’t wait to see what you do with it so I’m off to watch part 2 now. I’m sure this was snapped up but this is exactly the sort of piece I’d buy in a heartbeat! 💜💜💜
Yes, it sold right away. Thanks for watching
@@SpragueWoodturning I’m really not surprised! I’d love one of your pieces they are stunning!
Crazy project Jim, amazing what you come up with. My thought is to try the resin top first and if you don't like it then continue onto the wood. You're the artist and you have to be happy with the project, so it's still your call. Looking forward to seeing the final piece. Good liuck.
Thanks 👍
Great video and very interactive. I would try to achieve a resin top and it it doesnt turn out then go for the wood finish. Either way both are going to offer a unique look when its finished. I love the plum colour. With a mica or glitter inside might mimic the plum crazy dodge use to paint their cars with lol
That’s exactly the color I was going for. Thanks!
I really like the two-parters I've seen so far and I love the fact that you've taken the opportunity to ask your audience. Reading all of the opinions is great but I'm not a patient girl so I'm glad I get to watch the result straight away!
Thanks so much!
Resin In my mind would be the best.
Thanks
this looks like one of the most ambitious projects I've seen you do since I started watching. Good luck. However you finish it, I know it will be gorgeous.
Thank you very much
Looking good Jim. can't wait to see it finished. my finger cringed when you described the bandsaw blade lol. with your track record are you sure you didnt spend a couple of hours off camera getting it out of the bucket then put it back in for the camera lol. loved the instruction when you were using the band saw to get rid of the wings. I was waiting for "this is the safe way to do it Bruce" no resin on top is my vote.
She slid out like it drank a bucket of mineral oil, haha. Thanks
Enjoyed seeing your creativity and can't wait until I see the finished project next week.
Thanks so much!
Love your channel, you gave me the last little push I needed to dive into wood turning I have just purchased my first wood lathe. Now the fun begins.
That is awesome! Thanks for watching
I think the resin could add a nice look to it. If it turns out looking bad you can remove the resin but if you remove it 1st we'll never know.
Agreed, thanks!
I am leaning towards no epoxy on the rim, though I will be interested to see how you plan to do that. I’m sure 8t will be great no matter what you do.
Thanks
Designer epoxy. I love your work and have learned a lot from you. Thank you very much
Thanks for watching
I use Superclear and had the power go out while a pour was in the pressure pot. The temp dropped close to freezing in my shop and the pour came out very tacky and somewhat squishy. I warmed up the shop and after three weeks (to be sure) the epoxy fully cured and turned out to be one of my favorite bowls. Love your videos, I wouldn't be turning, especially with resin projects if I hadn't found your channel.
Awesome, thanks!
I think take it down to the black so it balances out with the center! Awesome colour by the way!
Thanks 😊
I’m not a turner, but I say no resin.😊
Thanks
I like resin if possible and the odd shape top. I am not a turner, but an admirer. Love the colors
Thank you so much!
Hi Jim. Love your channel. Reminds me of being in the shop watching my dad tinkering. He explained everything he was doing so I learned a lot automotive, electrical, plumbing etc. My vote No resin.
Thanks!
No resin seems the way to go but either way will be great. The light is going to shine through the middle and look so cool. Can't wait!
Thanks 👍
I'm so glad you are using epoxy more and would love to win the Designer Epoxy to use in my own projects. Also, purple is my favorite color!
Thank you very much
You really inspire me and I learn so much from watching your videos! I just purchased 6 gallons of Designer Epoxy. I have lots of cut offs and specialty wood pieces to use and am looking forward to using some of your techniques on them. Thank you so much!!!
Hope you used my code! Thanks for watching!
I really like the look of the branches on the sides. I think it would look better with no resin.
Thanks for watching
Always love your work Jim! It is a joy to watch you wood turn. My husband and I love watching. :) We are from Saskatchewan! I think going to the wood would be nice on this piece. My husband said he is happy either way with it. Truly I am too.
That is awesome! Thanks
Never mind hanging out talking about turning, I want to be Jim’s friend for some ice cream!!
Great tip regarding the shoulder of the glue block tenon too.
FWIW, I think taking the rim down to the wood will look best in this interesting piece. Thanks Jim!
Thanks for watching!
Make a lid. I love that purple! But whatever is chosen I’m sure it will be beautiful.
Thanks 😊
Can’t wait for the part 2
Thank you very much.
I think the uneven asymmetrical top with the resin looks nice.
Thank you very much!
Absolutely love your work, and the format of your channel Jim. Personally I've just got too much OCD for the resin rim.... if it were me, and I already knew I was grinding anyway, I'd just take I down to the wood. It keeps the piece primarily about the wood, and the resin as an extraordinary accent... it conceals the fact that it was a casting too, leaves you wondering if it were just an epic inlay. But I differ to the judgement of the master!
Thank you very much
Love that color. Leave as much of it as you can.
Thanks
Hi Jim, I think removing the resin from the rim would look better. Something I learnt from Gary on his TH-cam channel "ThePapa1947" is that you can remove hot melt glue by dabbing it with denatured alcohol and leaving it for 5 to 10 minutes. The alcohol gets under the glue and it peels away easily. Thanks for another great video.
Yes, thanks!
Oooo! I love these pieces with the small pieces in it! Designer epoxy
Thank you very much
I would leave it just the way it is, I think the epoxy rim will look great and the uneven rim gives it character.
Thanks!
I would love to see it down to the wood, so no resin. I love the beading at the base and it was fascinating watching the slow motion close up. Designer Epoxy.
Awesome, thank you!
This piece is looking good at this point. As for the top, leave it as is.
Designer Epoxy
Thanks Doug!
I like the idea of the resin framing the top myself.
Thanks
definitely waiting to see the final product
Thank you very much
I love the look of this one so far. One of my favorites. I think either will look great
Yay! Thank you!
I can see that this piece is going to be stunning either way!
Thanks 😊
I was having this very debate with the deep cast that just arrived this week. Whether I needed to bring the pressure pot and compressor inside, out of the garage, to get a warmer area to work in. You've basically summed up all the research I was going to have to do in the span of a minute here :D
It will not cure properly in the cold. Thanks for watching
Designer Epoxy. I think it would look great with the live edge. But I am sure no matter what you do it will look beautiful.
Thank you very much
I so enjoy watching you turning these bowls
Thank you very much
I would try to keep the resin on the top of the piece, but if it doesn't work, you can always take it off 😁 measure twice, cut once! 🥰
Thanks 😊
Oh man, I can't wait to see how this turns out! The anticipation! I think you should take the resin down to the wood.
Thanks
I say no resin top. Love the turning so far.
Thanks
Have been a big fan of the branch inlays since I first saw you use them with soapstone. This is a unique take on it. I'd like to see the epoxy rim; if you don't like it, you can always turn it away.
Thanks, will do!
I agree with everything OP said!
I really don't mind, I think it will be beautiful whichever way. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
Thank you very much!
Can't wait to see what you do. I like the curvy top.
Thank you very much
Robert and I vote for no resin on the top. This is turning out cool looking. Sorry you are having to chase those dang holes!
Thanks for watching
Jim I Love it. I see your point wood on top..... so Wood it is. Thanks for sharing. Be well
Thanks 👍
I’m loving the idea of doing projects in two part videos. Gives more time to go over details, and I love that we get to be involved in some of the final design! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Awesome! Thank you!
I really enjoyed watching your problem solving. It was interesting!!
Thank you very much!
