Those who complained in your last video have no clue about millwork or crafting anything out of wood. I'm a designer for one of the largest custom furniture manufacturers on the east coast we have tons of waste every year, we do recycle but still waste is waste, your work is perfect thank you for sharing!
Very true. I figured I'd see what I could do with a log, how far I could take it...and quite a ways, two nice vases! But it is so interesting to me that they complained about the waste from a bowl turned from firewood...wood that was to be completely destroyed forever...and failed to see the art that was saved. Thank you, I appreciate your comment, and it sounds like you have a nice job!! Cheers!
@@RHumphrey Offer the so-called "waste" to bushcrafters, survivalists, or homesteaders for bedding and firestarters or make your own on the side and sell it for profit... Waste not want not and it'll twist their panties a bit more.
Don't pay any attention to who ever complaned about waste they don't know what there talking about your going to get waste on some projects wood is a renewable resources so I don't let it bother me you do very builtiful work you are a true professional I hope that I can keep learning from these videos and maybe be 3/4 as good as you are I'm a restorer refinisher I love the beauty of wood working thank you so much for what you do
Thanks for the video. The vase is gorgeous! And if you haven't heard it today, Thank you for your service and God bless you and all your brothers and sisters in arms!
Beautiful! Beautiful! The colors of the different woods are really striking. Thank you for sharing both the speedy and actual time versions. The time you spent shows the quality result.
That was excellent! Used for its intended purpose it would warm a room for a couple hours. You turned it into an heirloom quality item that will be enjoyed for a century! Fantastic!
Very nice work. Not only do I love the technique and the finished product, but I really enjoy your no-nonsense talking style. You explain clearly what you are doing without trying to ham it up for the camera, and and it turns out being one of the best tutorials I have seen.
Can't say I speak for everyone, however I can speak for myself and to me there's something oddly satisfying to watch a master craftsman at work. It's soothing and relaxing. Nice energy, fantastic vase. I really liked this video.
The eye-catching patterns you created with the segments proves once again skilled craftsmen are also artists. I hope the vase ends up with someone who will truly appreciate it.
As impressive as this beautiful vase is, even more impressive is your attitude re: wood waste. I love that you took feedback so graciously and turned that into this incredible piece. Very well done.
Good evening Rod, This a beautiful piece of work. I just finished watching Nathan Elliott of Out of the Woods cut a 9/4 slab of walnut with 3 crotches that was very beautiful and then watched you making this segmented vase. What an evening! Have a great rest of your week.
Now I know what a segmented vase is. So beautiful. Great job. It looked like a lot of work for sure and definitely worth it. Stay safe and well. Semper Fi.
As you were mentioning that yoy sloshed Danish Oil around the inside of the vase to coat it, I was mesmerized by the stunning flash of rotating segments. Turning the piece on a turntable at the end was truly the ultimate way to showcase the multifaceted nature of the Black Walnut wood ... And to think that someone was just going to burn it? It pains my heart to imagine
So relaxing to watch. No silly background music and nice relaxing voice. People will be still admiring your finished product in hundreds of years to come. 😆
Thank you for showing the COMPLETE process. Look at ALL that BEAUTIFUL WALNUT! This is one of the BEST TURNS. I have seen AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL. SAFE TURNING,John
Thanks very much, John, I sure enjoyed to process. I ended up making another even bigger vase with that same left over milled walnut...and still had a couple pieces left.
Rod, I so much enjoy seeing you work! Your process is so thorough and your commentary is insightful. I learn every time I watch you work! You inspire me! The final product is a gorgeous vase! Amazing!
Wow, this is a beautiful, absolutely stunning vase. The work you put into it sure shows with the end product. Your good lady must have been so thrilled to receive such an amazing gift to display in your home. Thank you for sharing this week of hard and very delicate work.xxxxxxx
It's absolutely stunning! The grain of the wood has an amazing trick of the eye quality as it slowly turns. Like it's alive. I wasn't aware of this wood turning art till I wandered over here, so thank you for this experience and your hard work. You are quite an artist Sir.
Great job. Really like the way you teach. The vase is beautiful. I see so many videos where they don’t say anything. I’m a firm believer in sharing knowledge. Thanks again.
Rod, you're an inspiration to us old Navy guys - Vietnam Era. As a Navy dental technician, my first duty station out of boot camp was Camp San Mateo with the 1St Marine Division at Camp Pendleton. I thoroughly enjoyed working with the Marines. I have always regretted not going FMF. Semper Fi
Thanks Doc, I appreciate that! I know the Mateo area very well, my retirement ceremony was on that very parade deck. We have breathed the same air! Have no regrets, brother, thank you for your service! Semper Fi
Thanks very much. I just finished up another, bigger, segmented vase using the rest of the wood I milled in this video, along with some maple. video editing is ongoing, but I hope to upload it on Friday. Thanks again!
This just gets better every time I watch it. Love the vase. Thanks for explaining things as you go along. I might build up the courage to make one. Cheers mate
Thanks mate! I enjoyed making this one, and using the natural colors of the wood to create the feature rings. Go for it! It looks much more difficult than it really is. Wood is a very forgiving medium. Cheers!
I know I've commented on this vase before. It's still beautiful 😳! It's also good to know that you are conscientious and take time to read the comments. I've heard you comment on the lack of tools. Your work is amazing with you using what you have! I'm sure those who complain about waste sends you the wood you work with, other tools you need as well as the money for the electricity bill so you can share your amazing yet expensive hobby with us! I look forward to seeing more of your awesome work!
I really appreciate that. I do read and respond to all comments, as much as I can...I've been overwhelmed at times, which is a very nice problem to have! But, yes, there's much more that goes into a project than what many think about...the power, the tools the sandpaper and finish...the time... and equipment for filming and editing...so many other things. When someone complains about the "waste" that comes from a wood turning project, especially a firewood rescue project, it's very clear they haven't thought things through. But, I took it as a challenge and made this vase and the bigger "brick vase" from one log and still had a pile of shavings (waste I guess) lol. Thanks for the comment and the nice thoughts! 😊👍
@@RHumphrey time is the most precious investment! It's something people truly don't consider. Are wood shavings used for starter logs? Resin is another costly investment, yet, you can mix wood shavings into it as well as make your own molds. Just a thought. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work!
Your work is superb. You are a truly gifted artisan and love what you do. I love wooden pieces and I have never seen anything like these. Thank you for sharing this with us..
Hey, No need to thank us, I'm glad to watch. I know editing these vids is a pain so I just want to let you know I appreciate the work that goes into it.
I'd describe the feeling that you get from turning like "taking freshly baked bread out of the oven and having that nice crisp crunch. Not to hard and not to soft."
Very nice walnut is my favorite also it glistens at different angles the segments truly show that I’ve done it with a mix of walnut and cherry it is a great contrast of both wood’s if interested thanks for sharing
It's no wonder why I can not duplicate your quality as I have neither the patience or skill. Truly, you are a craftsman and an artist. Thank 'ya! Happy Independence Day Rod.
WOW!!!!! I love watching these videos. I don't have a lathe to turn wood, but do wood working projects all by hand until I can get power tools. I make a lot of "above average walking sticks"! I always get asked if I have a lathe and have "turned" them..."Nope, all done by hand!!" I tell them... I have some walnut logs and cedar logs I have been working with. They are about 7ft long by 6 to 7 inches in diameter. I use a rasp, a file, and sand paper to grind, file, and get them into the shape I want them in. Yes, it's a long, long, long process, but they turn out beautiful!!! I sand them down with the highest number sand paper I can get. For finishing, I just use mineral oil for now until I can afford something else....
Those who complained in your last video have no clue about millwork or crafting anything out of wood.

It is very nice to hear that you tried to make those who are bothered by excessive unavoidable waste gotten around beautifully. The vase is Gorgeous.
Another beautiful project!!! Looks very nice, thank you for all your hard work and for your military service.
It is a lovely vase,when I saw it I made me a small one,you are right about that black walnut,beautiful.
Thanks for the video. The vase is gorgeous! And if you haven't heard it today, Thank you for your service and God bless you and all your brothers and sisters in arms!
Your verbal descriptions/instructions are as informative as the video itself. So glad I found this channel!
Hey there Rod beautiful vase. I never get tired of watching your videos. Thank you 👏👏
The way the light hits each segment, with all those color variations - absolutely beautiful ❤️
Does my heart good to see something beautiful made from firewood. Well done, Stewart, south west Australia.

All those beautiful shavings will make wonderful firestarter.Beautiful vase!

Thanks for sharing your awesome skills. It was great to watch the transformation.
Spectacular, Mother Nature is grateful for your talent.

Wow awesome piece walnut is a very nice looking wood Great Job
I love wood work! To go from an old lumber/ fireplace piece of wood...to that great work of art, is amazing! Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much!

He who sees beauty in nothing,sees beauty in everything.
I am sure we will see them again and amazing they will be.
Thank you Sir always loyal.

A super concise video, very nicely put together and a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Strong work! Just awesomeness at its best.you ROCK.
