- This was a fun project that involved turning a willow log into a large egg shape and then carving windows within that. A wire tree sculpture was then made and mounted into the vase. There is a light mounted through the bottom that can be removed if the lamp effect is not desired. Enjoy!

I love the tree/roots in a tree idea! I agree that people have gotten away from their roots.
Thanks! That was a fun one....
Wow that is one amazing piece of art work it blows my mind. Dr Dan never say that you are not as good as other wood turner's are, you are amazing in every way.
You are very kind! Thank you!
Artforour.org
I have watched a few of your videos and was impressed enough to become a subscriber. Your creativity is most appreciated but to then have the knowledge and persistence to bring your design to an actual piece of art elevates you to a higher level.
Then when I heard that you were a physician added more respect. I am a retired dentist who remodeled income units on the days I wasn’t seeing patients. It was a great escape from the demands of fine detail with no room for error. I also made and cast rings and pendants from scrap gold.
I got a laugh from your comments of the “Laguna” accessories because my practice was in Laguna Beach, CA
Stay Healthy
Thank you Ronald! Much appreciated!

Thank you so much!!
Artforour.org
Wow! To say this piece is stunning almost feels as understated as saying it's 'nice'. I really can't get over the effects of this beautiful piece. It is so calming, almost like my Himalayan Salt lamp. I don't want to come across like I'm sucking up, but your work is truly unique and radiates the love and passion you clearly have for your craft, the elements you use, and their ultimate cause. Thank you for sharing, just watching this is comforting. I'm sure the purchaser will love this piece for many many years to come 🥰
Thank you so much! I appreciate that a lot!

Son of a horticulturist. My father taught me. A tree is a perfect analogy of life. What we see. Isn't the whole picture. It's hard to solve a problem without knowing the entire question.
Fantastic thoughts!
Artforour.org
Wow, this lamp is one of the most beautiful pieces of resin/turning I’ve ever seen.
The tree of life looks amazing.
I’m sure this amazing piece will sell very well and raise a significant amount of money for your very worthy and important charity.
Much love and respect from scotland 🤗💕🏴
Thank you so much Freya!

Dan, your trees are something else. You must have tons of patience to make those. Putting it in the vase turned out great! I love it.
Thank you Suzette! Trees are really one of my favorite things to create.... 😀

Thank you Peaches!

I have been viewing your other videos in awe, as your creative use of resin with various woods (in all its forms) is absolutely stunning. These pieces are clearly museum-quality art and should fetch a pretty penny if you should ever choose to sell them. OMG, I am amazed at these vids and have therefore chosen to subscribe to your channel because I want to see more of your fabulous work. You are the artist extraordinaire, my man!
You are very kind! And very much appreciated.
What a beautiful project. You've outdone yourself on this one. I find the wire sculpture to absolutely fascinating!
Thank you so much Kim. I like how this one turned out as well...

Красавчик, не тратишь зря эпоксдку. Ни так как некоторые.
That's never my goal. Always trying to improve!
Artforour.org
This is such a cool project and the results are amazing. When you were talking about oxidation my brain lit up with the possibilities of allowing (more like encouraging) the part of the wire that will become the coiled leafy part of the tree to oxidize. I bet there's some chemical or method that would allow a controlled oxidation of the copper. Could be fun for a future tree.
Ooh. That's a great idea!
Artforour.org
There is a chemical for that. I used it many times as a stained glass artisan. You can get green, black ect.. patina from any stained glass retailer, Amazon has it as well.
Edit: I have no idea how or if the chemicals in the patina would react in resin.
Awesome! Great ideas...
Artforour.org
The wood moved, so it's not true anymore. I would return to using the gouge to true the whole project and then resand it to a high polished finish.
But a very pleasing looking item
Agreed!
Artforour.org
LIKEE SUPER
Thank you!
Artforour.org
Did you ever have in mind that the resin might fly outta that space like a giant hockey puck and wreck you or your shop?
No. It bonds with the wood, infuses partly into it. They can't come apart....
Artforour.org
I absolutely love that tree! Would this be a situation where you might consider doing a darker stain on the inside for the tree to pop a little more? Or would that just not look right through the resin?
That would certainly be interesting to try!

3 things, LOL. 1. I see you finally got someone to help clean your shop! It was really bugging my OCD. 2. Did you chop a mortise with a putty knife? lol. 3. Beautiful piece and a fantastic group of people to support.
Ha ha ha!
1. Yes. This is what having a son is all about.
2. And a screwdriver!
3. Thanks!!
Artforour.org
wow that is amazing Dan where do you get stuff that you use to make the form etc LARRY here
Home depot. Just basic plastic sheeting...
Love the tree wire design!!! Realized I did see one other vid in the past based on this wire work, a big tree of some sort. Now having seen your most recent content, leaps and bounds from the earlier videos I saw last night, but one question I have is have you ever looked into using wood shavings for finishing? I don't know the negatives (haven't checked), but I've seen other wood workers use a handful of shavings to apply a perfect and PERMANENT final shine and finish.
One other question is about the possible use of a buffing/polishing wheel or handheld machine. Thoughts on getting or using one or something similar? Blacktail studios even uses a handheld car buffing tool. I know that wouldn't apply as much given the design of your pieces, but it's not unheard of to utilize similar tools. Just a thought.
Thank you so much for your ideas and support Laura!
Artforour.org
Dan, how are those cracks to be kept in check? Did I miss if you covered that?
Good question. This wood was very dry and any cracking should have be finished. Now that the whole thing had been soaked in the resin and permeated the majority of the bigger cracks, it should be very stable and prevent further cracking. The resin bonds to dry wood like super glue...
Doesn't a vibrating table make the bubble removal way quicker? and a blow torch?
I haven't had much luck with either ... good ideas though.
“ The Positive Couple” use Art Resin, a thick pour, water thin resin in their projects. Maybe check out the channel.
Thank you Kelvin!!
Artforour.org
Wow! You save life's at work, you make amazing art to save life's as well. You sir must make your family proud.
How do you price your art? I'm starting to get into it (thanks to you) as a creative outlet but also to hopefully make extra income so I don't have to be away from my family for weeks at a time (truck driver). I never know how to place value on something I made. My instinct is to low ball it.
Thanks Justin! Much appreciated. I'm probably a bad example of pricing. I started out at 20 for a simple bowl and slowly increased over the last 2 years as my youtube channel has grown. I'm up to 500 now but they are far more complex and because I'm selling them for charity, people are more likely to pay that kind of money....
@@artgivinghope that makes sense. You have an amazing gift that's for sure. I feel like even without the charity your prices seem right. Even though I have issues pricing things I do, I am usually pretty accurate pricing others. And if I saw this piece at a store I would think it was around $700. The craftsmanship is top notch and it being an original piece. I hope you continue to grow your brand and the prices shoot through the roof. And when people see one of your pieces they say "OMG! Is that a Dan Preece? "
Thank you for your videos. Have a good day sir.
Thank you very much Justin!
Utah what I taw? I taught I taw a puddy tat!
Ha ha ha
and where did u get that light unfer neath the bowl greatness
Amazon. Button lights
I am going to tell on myself here...You were using that sanding ball on the hour glass to hollow it out and you stopped for a second. When you stopped, I seen all the saw dust and I was so focused on it that I ended up trying to blow the sawdust out of the way 🤦♂️😳
Ha ha! That's hilarious.

enjoy the background music could you please share the artist
You bet. It's the Unicorn Heads
