When my husband told me he commissioned this piece, I was dubious. I did not really know the newlyweds home decor. I was never more wrong! When we took it out of the box, I wanted to keep it. Anyone blessed with vision can see the wizardry at work here. Absolutely mesmerizing. Thank you, David. Keep making art ❤️
Your one of a kind wedding gift is a masterpiece. Any couple would love to receive your handmade art piece. You worked so carefully and skillfully to design it just perfect. As an artist myself, I can admire the beauty that you brought out of the piece of wood. Truly, it's very unique and lovely.
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
What an exquisite work of art! A unique and priceless piece of beauty for a couple beginning a new life together in love. May this one-of-a-kind gift bring them a happy, safe, long and fulfilling life and family of joy and wonderful memories to always treasure.
BRO!!! Your art is so HYPNOTIZING, that I lose track of time!!! That wedding gift looks like you chopped a wood, glass and marble tree down and created BEAUTIFUL ART!!! Thank you for posting!!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
WOW! How beautiful. If I hadn't seen this video, I would never have realized how this was made. Super interesting. Also, the video itself is a work of art. You have edited and compressed time for the viewer nicely. I don't know how many days it actually took to produce the lovely piece, but the video is a secondary work. Nicely done, all around!
LOOK what you did! God provided the wood, and you created something for all time and eternity 🙏🏼. From Gods hand to your hands…..you are a special human being……that is simply Gorgeous! Just gorgeous! Thank you with all my heart.
Helen and Forrister are two very lucky people to have received their very first, stunning work of art by David Adamsen. It's always fortunate to have in their ownership a certain 'special something' to remember a 'once-in-a-lifetime' special day with...one that will bring them special memories for the rest of their lives. And indeed, what a truly 'special something' it is. Just look at it! OMG!!! Congratulations to the happy couple and cherish this magnificent gift always because it was created from David's heart!
The vision to see the final piece when still in its raw state, the craftsmanship, the understanding of chemistry, the artistic sense, the skill, the equipment, the clean up... Everything about this process and the artist is astounding.
Actually i found your channel in feed . watched every video and subscribed too!! that encourages my grandfather ( he's a professional in this field) when i showed your videos he's like WOW!! what a great work
this is the type of work most people dream of having. I honestly cant believe you were able to make this with your own two hands... im honestly speechless at the finished product man very well done
Beautiful piece David! Often when taking a stroll in my neck of the woods in Maine, I see parts of trees or limbs on the ground, and try to imagine what could be made with them. My imagination is nothing compared to yours! I see "bowl"...you make art. Congrats to Helen & Forrister, and I am looking forward to your 200k sub special coming soon!!
Thanks! I hadn’t thought about doing a 200k special thought. Maybe at some point, thought this latest vid is as close to a milestone video release as I’m gonna get. 🫠
David…you did such an amazing job with that cherry burl!!!… I could tell that it was very punky wood, an glad to see you using the wood stabilizer on it, along with the epoxy which will really make it very durable. Fantastic finish job you did also. Truly a beautiful piece my friend. 👍👍
I don't think I've seen a better match of resin colors with the natural wood tone, and I have watched a lot of wood and resin videos! Really beautiful work.
Whenever I feel stressed, I watch your videos and find peace. You are so skillful, and I appreciate how you let your art speak for itself. Such beautiful work.
It looks so magical, and the colors make me think of those ancient greek vases that tell stories, which is very fitting for a gift for a couple just starting their own story together :)
@@DavidAdamsen Man if you can get you a black backdrop for picture and video taking and cut down on the glare, this piece and pieces like it will really set off and look absolutely stunning! Just my thoughts on maybe a small investment for future pieces. Thanks for your content
Andddd NOW you understand when you see the price tag on handcrafted items, the artistry, time, tools etc al that goes into creations like THIS. AMAZING!🤩 ❤ Family heirloom to be handed down to future generations. 🥰
Absolutely beautiful! When I saw the combination of epoxy colors I wasn’t sure I was going to like the selection, but after seeing the finished project, I wouldn’t change a thing.
I’m torn choosing which of your works are best, wood or hybrids everything turns out so well. This is such a beautiful piece, I envy those who are getting as a gift. Well done!
Wow! What an absolutely stunning piece! BEAUTIFUL WORK! I want one! What a gorgeous wedding gift! A gift of deep love to the blessed couple! A labor of love!❤❤❤
So utterly beautiful. The shape, the grain and the added lustre from the form of the resin. However it only could have been improved with the inclusion of gold flakes. That would have made it so much more special. You are a master craftsman and I wish you and your partner a long and happy life together. Much love to you both from Australia xxx
Absolutely beautiful. Museum quality. What a gift you have. Watching videos like this, are some of my favorite. Layer by layer, you see a piece of wood be transferred into art. I'm blown away💜🙏💐
I was initially concerned with the intensity and amount of red pigment you used and expected it to look like a candy apple! The result was really unexpected and very beautiful with that thick glossy finish. Gorgeous work, David.
dude, I don’t know who you are but you’re extremely talented. What a beautiful piece of woodworking. Thank you for showing us how you did that you again are truly talented.
That is absolutely gorgeous gorgeous Piece! I don’t know who’s getting married but at times like this when I say such things I wish it was me. I sure hope you put your name on it because that is absolutely a gift one cannot forget
Congratulations! This is the single most beautiful piece of the wood turner's art that I've seen in all the years I've been looking at them on You Tube. Bravo!
You resurrected the beauty of the tree. The fact that this video has gotten 2.7 million views shows that I am not alone in my admiration for your skills. The end result of your labors is a thing of beauty.
Such potential beauty formed over the long years, and locked away - until you had the foresight and skill to bring that beauty out for awesome display! Just WOW! Well done 👍🏻
Good Lord!! Only a visionary would be able to see inside that burl from a dead cherry tree and turn it into a show piece. Beautiful work of art. Thank you for sharing. Can you imagine a TABLE made from that dead cherry tree? I would be speechless admiring it's beautiful every day.
Thank you good Sir! Your amazing craftsmanship has earned you my subscription! I took woodworking & cabinet making in High School 42 years ago and have ever since had a deep admiration for this wonderful craft! How about that amazing Waterfall Bubinga wood? Gotta love it!
If I had that as a wedding gift I would be so happy that is so lovely,I would appreciate the fact you made it yourself you are very talented. That is a lovely piece of work.
Just magical. A wonderful work of art. Thanks for sharing your art. Wood is my favorite material and Mother Nature has some wonderful specimens that can bring magic to our lives. You have the Gift! Have a great weekend. Greetings from France. Blessings and Peace everyone. 👼💙🙏🥰✨️🍀🦋🕊
Bought a new small lathe a few years ago and stored away for me to mess with when I retire (hoping to live long enough). My Dad gave me one a million years ago which was older than me and worn but served me well and is now "retired". This kind of project is what I hope to try. Your Finished product is amazing and I look close! Thanks for the great video!
I'd rather buy the beautiful piece for myself, and skip ever getting married again (this from an ex-wife's POV after being married to a pervert (unknown, or I'd never have done it!)).
At the end of the video you wrote on the screen something to the effect of "please consider giving this video a like". A like? Please! Where's the LOVE button??!!! Everything about this is gorgeous! 😍🤩 You're very talented. Not only in working with the wood but seeing the end product before you even begin. I would never have been able to look at that piece of wood and seen a beautiful vase. I'm not very artistic. I may see something in my mind but I could never draw, paint or create it in any way. I've subscibed so that I can see more of your beautiful work. I wish you much success!!
That is absolutely beautiful! Top floor, so very well done. The attention to detail can be seen in the final rotations. The reflected lights don't move. Perfect symmetry.
Your work is so beautiful! There's something about how you shape them that reminds me of throwing pots, just as soothing and meditative as you work with your hands.
Quite……magical. Soooooo creative. What a wonderful idea for a wedding gift in the first place. What skill and foresight to create it! I’m guessing that the skill needed to select the right base wood, in the first place, is paramount. Congratulations to all.
That was one fantastic Wedding present David, it was one very beautiful Cherry Burl that has now been turned into a work of Art. It has beautiful shape & the finish absolutely made it 'POP'. They are one very fortunate husband & wife who, I am sure, will treasure it for many, many years. Congratulations David & thanks for sharing this very special piece. Cheers, don from South Aust.
Good morning, I discovered you a little while ago, but I have to say that your videos do me a lot of good. What a talent, your achievements are truly magnificent... bravo.

I wasn’t sure I was liking the vase until I saw it finished. WOW! It’s beautiful. I would love to have it myself. I enjoyed watching your very skilled turning.
The first thing I will tell you is that I love when you combine resin with wood. Together with its brightness and the colors you choose to dye it, gives in your work an extra point of beauty. In addition, your fabulous vessels remind me of those seen in the ruins of Rome and Greece. impeccable work . 👍🌹🌹
OMG I watched this yesterday! What a craftsman you are!! This was a gorgeous piece of wood and what a 'one of a kind' gift to receive!! Hope the couple loved it!

I agree 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💯💯💯
Until I began to view these I would.d not have considered that mixing natural wood with resin could look so amazing.
Watched, and still don't understand. 😘
What young couple would not love to have this as a gift? It’s amazing. Would be a family treasure.
Had no clue I needed a wooden vace until I saw this😍
LOOK what you did! God provided the wood, and you created something for all time and eternity 🙏🏼. From Gods hand to your hands…..you are a special human being……that is simply Gorgeous! Just gorgeous! Thank you with all my heart.

That is Beautiful, what he created there.
Finished product is mesmerizing! Handcrafted gifts are more precious than store bought ones, imo. 🤩
Thanks Julie!
Especially when the creator is 'Uncle David'…
Geez that’s museum quality. I’m blown away. Such obvious mastery in this craft. I’ve just never seen anything like what you make in your vids.
Thanks very much!
David your work is not only enjoyable to watch, it's MESMERIZING! watching your gifted hands and imagination! Thank you!
Holy moly! It's gorgeous! What a process
I don't think I've seen a better match of resin colors with the natural wood tone, and I have watched a lot of wood and resin videos! Really beautiful work.

Whenever I feel stressed, I watch your videos and find peace. You are so skillful, and I appreciate how you let your art speak for itself. Such beautiful work.

Great comment…watching this was like meditation
I have been watching lathe work videos for relaxation for awhile now. This craftsman did not disappoint.
Omg that piece is stunning! What a gift, I would treasure that forever. Beautiful! ❤️
It looks so magical, and the colors make me think of those ancient greek vases that tell stories, which is very fitting for a gift for a couple just starting their own story together :)

If I was given that as a "Wedding Gift", it would be my VERY FAVORITE!!!!

In the long history of wedding gifts, this one has to be one of the nicest. I would consider marrying again if marriage came with a gift like this.
I'd rather buy the beautiful piece for myself, and skip ever getting married again (this from an ex-wife's POV after being married to a pervert (unknown, or I'd never have done it!)).
That is a forever generational piece…amazing work of art! .BRAVO!
At the end of the video you wrote on the screen something to the effect of "please consider giving this video a like". A like? Please! Where's the LOVE button??!!!
Everything about this is gorgeous! 😍🤩
You're very talented. Not only in working with the wood but seeing the end product before you even begin. I would never have been able to look at that piece of wood and seen a beautiful vase. I'm not very artistic. I may see something in my mind but I could never draw, paint or create it in any way.

Gorgeous work. What a stunning vase!
Someone that knows his craft well! Absolutely beautiful.
That is a beautiful piece. This is first time I have seen resin used to coat an entire turned piece.
Thank you, Lynn!
The beauty of the finished piece goes BEYOND BEAUTIFUL. Fantastic !!
Good morning,
I discovered you a little while ago, but I have to say that your videos do me a lot of good.
What a talent, your achievements are truly magnificent... bravo.
How long did it take you to realize this wonder?
I wish you a very pleasant evening and with a little advance, an excellent weekend.
Thank you so much!
I wasn’t sure I was liking the vase until I saw it finished. WOW! It’s beautiful. I would love to have it myself. I enjoyed watching your very skilled turning.
Very beautiful result! And I like the epoxy finish for this one. Also, the laser pointer was a nice guide.
The first thing I will tell you is that I love when you combine resin with wood. Together with its brightness and the colors you choose to dye it, gives in your work an extra point of beauty. In addition, your fabulous vessels remind me of those seen in the ruins of Rome and Greece. impeccable work . 👍🌹🌹
