Woodturning: The Root Burl!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ย. 2021
- There were so many ways to orient this unique piece of Manzanita root burl on the lathe, and I had originally intended not to use epoxy resin. However, when it was clear that I could not achieve the shape I was going for without losing too much of the character from this wood, I had to bite the bullet, as they say, and throw this piece into some delicious plastic.
Let me know what you think of this piece by leaving a comment below! I read all of them and respond to as many as I can.
Thanks to Total Boat for the thickset epoxy! This stuff worked wonders and did not crack, even though I poured almost 3 liters of resin and a 7 inch deep pour. I never had to fill a single crack with filler or CA glue (discount/affiliate link below).

Hi, I live in Iran, almost until six to seven years ago, when for some reason I had to quit my job. I am both a woodcarver and a carpenter. The smell of wood, the smell of wood turning, the smell of resin, how does it feel, hand art is really indescribable, I congratulate this artist and wish him success.👌👌👌👏👏👏

You talk about working with wood, are you lucky enough to live in one of the forest regions in Iran?

Manzanita grows wild all over Northern California, it's one of the hardest bushes / trees to pull out of the ground that anyone has ever seen. My father used a 200 ton excavator and almost pulled the excavator over while trying to remove a root from one.
When I saw it was Manzanita, i raised my eyebrows, because i know how tough that stuff is!
Every time I watch one of these, I am reminded of Kilmer: "Only God can make a tree", and I think, yes but David Adamsen can make it more beautiful. Fabulous partnership.
The best thing is, that it's unique. The design will never be the same if another was made. Beautiful work of art.
you could say....
it's Non-fungible
The grain in wood never makes an aesthetic mistake.
To bad a unique man is worthless without money
Agreed
Except it definitely could be
I love how the small cracks in the wood ended up looking like tiny rivers on a globe. Your choice of resin colors was perfect.
Поздравления за упоритостта и търпението, майстора си е майстор!
Spoilers dude
That is probably the most beautiful woodturning piece I have ever seen. Stunning work.
Beauty is all about the creator and who values it! So as humanity, you are a masterpiece, someone only need to explore it out from you
Hello Caroline, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
It's very difficult to get artisanal silly string into the can, but if you do you'll see the quality difference over the store bought kind.
Uh… I don’t understand… but ok where can I buy some “artisanal silly string”
Edit: ok I got further into the video and I get it now, take my like and leave.
I thought the exact same thing, literally "so this is where silly string comes from."
I was just about to comment about this 😭 my favourite part of these resin item videos
Gorgeous piece....thank you for sharing ❤.
@@YukonJack My initial thought was that you could probably survive a fall from any height if you had a landing pad filled with that string.
I’m always blown away at what people are able to find hidden inside wood & stone. The shapes have always been there, waiting for the right person to come along & show it to everyone else.
Thanks Rob!
I firmly believe that you are half correct. David did a great job with this piece, better than anything that I could hope to do, but I don't believe that there is only ONE "right person" for that root burl. I think that any talented artisan/craftsman who owned that root burl would be the "right person" and would bring out their own unique vision of beauty from it. Let's say the multiverse is real and infinite. If that root was handed to a different artisan/craftsman in each universe, or even if it was handed to the David of each universe, a different yet beautiful piece will be produced in each case. That's one of the great things about creativity... it has NO LIMITS. If David was handed an identical root burl I doubt that he would want to create a second urn/vase that mirrored what he had already created. Where would the fun be in that? Anyway, I don't know much, but I know that have never wanted to duplicate something that I have already created.
Great job David.
Damn this is what people should live for.
One day, for sure, I will do what you do with my own style🥰 So a pleasure to watch you working ! Thank you so much.
I couldn’t see where this was going, but that is stunning. Well done.
The whole time i was lost but the result… beautiful
Save Bangladeshi people 😥. Pls pray for them🤲

You couldn't? He makes only round containers. So it could be only a pot, a mug, or a vase.
@@x_mau9355 haha
A simple coffee tree trunk but through creativity has created a pretty cool work 🥰
The colors of the final piece remind me of ancient greek vases and i love it
That's exactly what I thought.

One word Beautiful!
Nice work.
David, I watched your work in amazement. It was truly satisfying. You are such a creative and innovative person. The vase you made is gorgeous. The professional skills you display are great. Nice to see a real professional at work:) .give us more such vidoes
Only after watching this can someone really appreciate what goes into some thing like this, truly amazing craft and most beautiful work.
Riveting and stunning merger! The spirit of the burl was not sacrificed to the plastic. Hope to see more, this was a masterclass in wood turning
i can't stop laughing imagining the dog in your picture reading this comment in a silly cartoon dog voice
The spirit of a root chunk?
Hey! Did you know God is three in one!? The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit! Bless him!
Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him! True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better!
Have a blessed day, everyone! ❤
Your worries (yes, anxiety), depression, suicidal thoughts, EVERYTHING will melt away and be NO MORE when you lean on God and put your trust in him! When I have physical pain, I literally pray and the Lord quells it, that I am healed!
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! People are bothered by his name. The world hates the truth and wants to continue living sinfully! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous.
Another masterpiece! Awesome!
Absolutely stellar work! Well done… maybe someday I will acquire your level of skills. Your concept/design was spot on. The work is balanced and you nailed the scale of the piece. Congratulations!
Это ЭКСКЛЮЗИВ!!!В руках мастера бесполезный и безобразный кусок корня превращается в шедевр!БРАВО!
Полностью согласен
I'll never see vases like this the same way ever again. Love this.
A simple coffee tree trunk but through creativity has created a pretty cool work 🥰
That is absolutely gorgeous.
Thx David for the viewing pleasure , it is a beautiful piece , and again for the thoughtful camera work and references , looking forward to more
Astonishing result. It's obvious that you've got the taste and the feeling of how it has to be done. Keep on and best regards.

Agreed.
Yeah
The Algorithm was strong on this 1
These are two pieces of art, the beautiful hardcraft itself, which is absolutely amazing, and the immersive and very well made video that catch me almost instantly, thank you!!! 👍
I never get tired watching this video
It really looks good. It's looking like a pristine Greek pot from antiquity.
You have a point here!
I was thinking the same thing!
Even if we skip the rest of mastery, just the level of finishing, this superb balance of discrete shine, depth, colour, texture and bumpiness, leaves you in awe.
"Superb balance of discrete shine" what an articulation

Art comes in many forms, there is no mistaking it, You are an artist.
What a beautiful piece
I never thought that woodturning would be anything interesting. Don't knock it til you try it. Dude, you are an artisan sir. Much respect. You have earned my sub. Questions, these pieces of art for sale? This vase looked exquisite. You do commissions? Say purple instead of black (my wife)? Seriously. Been married 10 years, looking for original and exotic gifts. Rather support you than some megs corp.
Thanks very much! Yes I certainly do commissions. Drop me a line through my website www.adamsenwoodcraft.com/contact and maybe we can work something out!
Absolutely gorgeous. This is the mark of a true artist.

Root burl and resin is one of the most beautiful things in the world. I love them so much and this is such a beautiful example.
Truly awesome artistry. This is poetry. Thank you for revealing the voices of wood.
That is literally the most beautiful vase I've seen in my entire life.
The colors that came from that root once it was all polished were just gorgeous.
Absolutely gorgeous
Its unbelievable how beautiful nature is in form of wood.. the patterns, the color variations, the more videos i watch my surprise level is only increasing!
Stunning! It's amazing to me that you can take a relatively 'impossible' piece of wood to work with, and miraculously turn it into this 'stunning masterpiece'. Truly, it's museum quality art!
Tuyệt vời cam ơn ban.
Главное фантазия у человека развита а матчасть это мелочи

Absolutely Stunning piece, worthy of a Museum place
Tornea muito.
So beautiful!
Absolutely love watching you woodturning. Your creativity is amazing to be able to look at a burl or a gnarly root and create beautiful pieces of art. ❤❤
This carpenter has amazing skill, I can't stop watching it's almost mesmerizing. It's so satisfying to watch.
I'm not even into this kind of stuff, but I still couldn't stop watching. This is an amazing display of talent.
I was about to comment about how satisfying it was to watch myself!
He's a wood turner
Agree
как же красиво получилось ,просто шедевр. спасибо вам за вашу работу.👍👍👍👍
Даже очень
Absolutely stunning! As a carpenter myself this has inspired me to get into wood turning. Thank you.
Just ...wow. So needed this video for many different reasons.
It's obvious that you truly love your work. Watching you was mesmerizing, and your work absolutely gorgeous.
I would not have believed that georgeous vase was hidden inside that disaster of a root cluster had I not just seen your video! The texture, patterning Ang grain of the wood is marvelous and the resin sets it off beautifully! The last thing I turned on a lathe was in the early 60's in middle school woodworking class!
I'm about 5 seconds from finding this guy, just to give him a giant piece of wood and ask him can he carve me something cool. Like a globe, bowl, idk. This guy is great!
Absolutely gorgeous! I love that combination of complex wood and epoxy resin. Good choice.
A beautiful piece of art. Your nimbleness, patience, creativity in turning pieces of wood to collectors items seems unparalleled. Best wishes and may your inner eye remain open always to create such masterpieces.
О Боже какая работа,можно часами наблюдать. Хранит вас Господь 🙏🙏🙏
I've watched a lot of burl + resin turning projects on YT, but this right there among the finest! An absolutely beautiful piece of work.
This is such a stunning piece. Wow. So beautiful.
I jsut told my boyfriend out loud (who sent me this video bc he knows im into these) "this is hitting all the right spots, it has glitter, it has cools, it has warms, it has space, but it also has earth because of the wood, and it SHINES", congrats!
Hello Mica, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
У вас золотые руки и богатая фантазия. Удачи вам в дальнейшей работе.
Очень красиво! 👍
4:17 that is exactly what I was getting anxiety about watching this. I've worked with mills and lathes with all types of metal so I was freaking out at some of the things you did lol but I had to keep telling myself that epoxy and wood are probably way more forgiving than steel. I've always wanted to turn wood though
I too had anxiety. I thought this was a how "not to do" wood turning video because of the distance from the work and letting all the epoxy shaving get balled up. I'm sorry but he is lucky he didn't catch the inside of that thing and snap his wrist off. Then he buffed out the shine at the end?
@@JeffreyKB yeah haha I saw the epoxy get sucked in and immediately freaked out because I thought his hand would get caught in it. Dude was having me worried for his safety
Yeah I was like isn't this dangerous, it has to be dangerous, clean it please then I told myself he's probably done this many times before and is more knowledgeable than me but it still seemed dangerous.
Exactly. Haven’t people been torn apart into pieces and human slush for being careless around lathes?
@@AkshaySharma-ut6rv yup. Saw a video of a guy who got too close and it barely caught the tip of his sleeve and within half a second his shoulder was being pulled with the part. Luckily the part was long and also not secured properly because instead of being rigid and ripping his arm off it came loose and someone had been close by to quickly pull him away. And only a few months ago at my work this girl's shirt was ripped clean off by a lathe. Only reason she didn't go with is because someone was also with her to pull her away. That's why I had so much anxiety with this video lol
Wow! I am so impressed. I love turned burl but had no idea where you where going with it right up until the end. Spectacular.
Absolutely magnificent.
this is how the world out there, outside the planet earth it looks like, like a piece of art.
Wow, that vase is so, so beautiful, there are so many different patterns in it, it's like there's a whole universe in that vase. I could look at it, transfixed, for hours

I grew up surrounded by manzanita and never saw any potential in its wood until now. Beautiful job!
The fact that we didn’t know exactly how it will turn out is the most fascinating part.

That is absolutely gorgeous, you are truly blessed to be able to create such a stunning work of art❣️
Your videos show high production values. Excellently video quality, great editing. Also always enjoy seeing the tools sharpened at the beginning.
You could stare at that work of art for hours and see different things in it, like clouds in the sky!💕
Whenever I see someone starting to mix up epoxy, I always cringe a little because so many people go with truly garish, unnatural colors in the wrong circumstances. So needless to say I was very pleased to see you go with the black, silver, and brown layering. Perfect.
I don't know the first thing about any of this but when it came up in my TH-cam and I decided to check it out I couldn't stop watching lol. Major props to you master craftsman 👊🏼
Beautiful!
I really enjoy watching someone who is truly a master at their craft. This is a stunning piece.
I've such a deep new respect. I've always loved these never trialing appreciating or knowing what goes into them. I only love them more. I hope one day I can afford one. What vision.

I wasn’t sure what this was going to be in the beginning and loved the outcome. Such beautiful art!
I can only say that this is crazy in every way and the black parts look like marble or something like it and I love it. This is amazing
I just dug out a root for this purpose this morning. Probably sit on it for a year. I haven't even started turning yet. I'm just amazed at this popping up on my feed when I come back inside to take a break.
Awesome! Thanks for watching and good luck!
Another absolutely gorgeous piece of art! Unbelievably stunning! Your talent is incredible! I love this piece, it’s marvelous! Bravo!!!
I needed this tonight. In a crazy way It's a beautiful way to end a night when I have been mourning my sister who was killed last year. To see that root go from It's natural state, ripped out of the ground, then cut, turned, poured over, cut some more, shaped, and polished feels a lot like my heart right now. The process so painful, but so carefully watched by the Creator. He knows what the end result will be from the very beginning; something more beautiful and lasting than what you started with. Thank you for this. I can sleep now. 🤍
I feel bad for your sister. I hope whoever murdered her last year is in prison right now.
that's fucked up, I don't appreciate seeing this
I am sorry for your loss, Miss Vanessa.
Absolutely a stunning piece of artwork. I am grateful that I just happened to scroll past this video and for some reason went back to it. This is my first time seeing resin added to wood and turned into a such a beautiful piece of art. Thank you for the introduction. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
你好你最近怎麼樣？
I'm a college graduate, I work in IT and make a lot of money but honestly I would give up on my life, move into a log cabin in the mountains and make a living off of making such beautiful objects. Your craft is inspiring!
Im a self taught woodworker who doesn’t make nearly as much as an IT worker, but I can tell you there are so many hours into each of these steps but at the end of it it’s worth it.
You R an Artisan, superb workmanship. Thank you, it's good to know that you produce original artwork.
Thats truly stunning, loving the darkness of the resin against the beautiful lighter burl wood.
It is so enjoyable and relaxing just watching the whole process. Thanks for sharing this.
