I Should Have Seen This Coming...

  • Unknown quantities of dirt, rocks, and sand do not make for a great turning experience, and I certainly learned a few things the hard way with this one. For starters, the manufacturer of the casting resin, @superclearepoxy advised me to expect resin chipout when turning at high speeds, so I have grown accustomed to intense, hand-scarring resin shrapnel for the first rough shaping passes. (Hence, this was also my first time using gloves while turning.) In the past, I have had problems with carbide bits loosening, but I had never before had a carbide cutter break. So, my initial assumption was that I had hit a rock or a piece of metal, but nope, it was just super hard epoxy. @EasyWoodTools was great and replaced both the carbide cutter and the screw for free. I eventually resorted to an angle grinder to negotiate the dirt, and I knew there was more dirt and rocks potentially inside the piece. While hollowing the piece, I could tell that a significant portion of the material was dirt/sand/and small rocks, because there were very few clean cuts and lots of vibration. @Lyle , the manufacturer of the hollowing system, had some great advice for me regarding proper hollowing techniques, but we eventually agreed that this material was becoming unworkable and potentially unsafe. However, with the help of Starbond CA glue and TotalBoat epoxy, victory was within reach!

      The idea of NOT hiding the "break". Opening the idea of broken to something better. Is the term you used for the Chinese/Japanese rapairs to pottery and the like ( not sure of the origin ). Looks exactly right. Don't hide "mistakes". Own them, and show how you learned from them. Love it.
      It's funny. A wood and faux glass pot actually can inspire. THAT is why this is great work. Not mass produced for profit. Uniquely made for pure love and demonstration of understanding and skill. Worth every moment watching.

That's why art is subjective, and no one is forcing you to either like it or buy it, whether I think it's amazing (I do), or bizarre, or worth $5K to me, or maybe not to you. Or don't call it art, call it amazing craftsmanship, or don't call it anything at all. Just don't pretend it's still garbage or that the technique and work here aren't fantastic.

Just like how I have a few decorative animal skulls from animals I didn't kill, since I don't kill any living being knowingly. But I still love how these skulls and roots look, and how wonderful nature shaped them for their function.

      @@farzanatasneem To me those names are almost interchangeable. I live in nature and nature lives within me. I exist within a universe, and a universe exists within me. Whatever "I" and "me" means. I have gained "supernatural" powers through reconnecting with nature, which I consider to be the will of life itself (the "fatherly" spark) given physical form and "born" in the ("motherly") material in this case, or in the spiritual, the thought. So yeah, if you would put it in words assuming the fatherly, that shaped started it, is god, you could say god shaped them.
      But I'm on good terms with all of the just ones, myself included, as I am part of them, part of One in solidarity, one of them, and a solitary individual all at once, love my brothers and sisters as I love myself, be they ants or whales or birds or trees, all born from the same "father" and "mother", through the same harmony, and I don't take orders from anyone. I live and let live. So no, I won't say that on command, not even when it came directly from them, and it won't offend them if they are kind, rightfully arrogant AND exemplary humble, as they know me, taught me, and learn through me. "They" don't "work" that way. They, or we, have free will and are not obedient slaves. That would be an offense to the one you resemble, represent, ARE, and got your free will from. I am not a god fearing man. I am a loving man with the power to judge and execute and take responsibility for my actions, and change my ways should I judge them unjust, no matter if that goes against the terror of humanity and/or the accepted beliefs of what "god" is. If said "god" thinks he can overrule my free will and judgement with power and punishment, he can join all the other false authorities in trying, but he won't be able to, and will lose my faith in him just as the others.
      These are "my" words, just as much as they are yours, I just hope they helped you understand my perspective, my experience, my message, and you will refrain from enforcing anyone's will as my command, my "law", unless I stole their freedom or their life. If god were a physical being towering over me telling me to say he's great, I would tell him the same. But god is none of that. And I know what I am.
      ... That said, I wish you an interesting experience and valuable lessons. And joy in rest and harmony.

    The patience you have in creating this beautiful piece. My dad had a lathe and as a child I did not appreciate what he might have been feeling as he worked at it. He’s gone now, abd I think back on things he did that were just him. Woodworking, photography, grilling. He wasn’t just a breadwinner, there were things that filled his soul.

      Please show us the final piece in it's final show room or at least in a draped box that only shows the art work w/o machinery as a background. Was your vision for this piece to be a vase, a lamp base or just a sculpture alone? The process was amazing. Thanks for sharing it!

    Whoa. This video brings to mind a story I read many years ago about a sculptor (Michelangelo, Rodin?) who could “see” a creation inside a block of stone before he ever even picked up the chisel. How you envisioned the vase emerging from that gnarled root ball is beyond my imagination. The whole process is an exercise in patience, creativity, and personal fortitude. Kudos.

      Michelangelo - the sculpture is always in the stone all he did was remove what’s not needed.
      He also did the back of sculptures that would never be seen by Joe Public.. when asked why …. ‘because he would know ‘ …

The only thing I’ve admired about shrub roots… well any tree root really is they burn in a wood stove for a very long time. Which is good if you’re trying to stay warm while sleeping on a cold wintry night. Well done!
