Hi Jesse. THANKS for introducing folks to this beautiful art form. I have been collecting and displaying Suiseki rocks for the last 30 plus years ... as well as being a "hound".
The study of Suiseki is a fascinating one with many rules, categories and styles based on centuries of contemplation and study. One can only scrap the surface even after years of practice.
Your wood treatment was both reverant and inspired and the rock you chose was quite stunning. BTW, Basalt is one of a small number of types of stones used in Suiseki work.
Congratulations on the end result...the implied (and real), space, the spirit and flow/ energy of rock and wood created a sense of calm.

Sydney thank you so much for such a beautiful comment. I was holding someone who is more knowledgeable on Suiseki would watch. Hearing you speak about it is just really a pleasure.
Thank you so much and Gasso,
Jesse
Hiya Jessie, awesome video mate, that's a beautiful piece of wood with that rad stone sitting on it. Hey your bonzai is getting beautiful too.
I hope you and yours, have a awesome blessed day mate. Cheers!
Cya! 😺🐟 out!
Man that is so cool!!! I have never heard of suiseki and can tell im gonna go down a rabbit hole looking this stuff up!😄 man Australian walnut!! That is one gorgeous flippin piece of wood! As a wood enthusiast i totally know what you mean, i definitely talk about wood the same way i talk about rocks😂 i was just drooling over that thing😂 and i totally feel the struggle on shaping; walnut is some STURDY stuff🤣 i love the texture you put on though, that wavy texture and then not extending the sand all the way out makes it look like a beach leading up to an ancient basalt boulder! Awesome idea man! Fantastic video as always and thank you so much for being a part of the challenge brother!!😄
Dude I’m so glad you liked it, as much as it’s probably one of the simplest forms of appreciating a rock, I was so stressed about how it would turn out. Haha! I can breath now. Especially since Anthony pretty much gave me that beautiful piece of wood and then I realised how much it was worth, AND I was working on it with a dremel!?! It was intense to say the least. I’m just grateful for what you’ve inspired in all of us who participated but also those who are watching. You’re a good man Theo. One of the finest I’ve met. 🙏✨
You two are freaking amazing! Thank you Theo for putting the challenge out there.
Beautiful! Love the history of the walnut. As a luthier and a guy that's had the privilege of working with wood for over 50 years, I understand the respect for the resource. Having the privilege of turning precious stuff like Hawaiian Koa or Brazilian rosewood into something that will bring enjoyment for decades is, in a way, a sacred trust. That plank of walnut is now in the same category. Thanks for doing this!
Oh my goodness! Mr Kellison!!!!!!! To have you say that is truely an honour! Truely! I honestly was a bit worried that true wood appreciators may have thought I butchered it, but I feel a lot better now. And also I just want to say, your son is such a genuinely amazing man. Not just because of all his talents, but because of his massive heart, and his ability to show it and share it with so many people. You and his mother must be so proud. He’s a good man. A very good man.
@@Rookie_Rockounding huge thanks for the kind words! He has his moments. Be well, my friend!
Nice one rookie! Rock bonsai, never thought of that! Hmmmmm
Great hobby🎉
Beautiful very nicely delayed marvelous rock
A beautiful day starts with watching wonderful videos like this. I have enjoyed watching, thanks for sharing . a fellow creator
That guy is so very strong. You did good‼🥰 You could commune with this for hours ❗ So very grounding!!!!!
A beautiful day starts with watching wonderful videos like this. I have enjoyed watching, thanks for sharing . a fellow creator,.,.,.
I can see someone looking at that setting and and feeling the wisdom of ages looking back. It is a powerful stone, on a serine setting. You did it proud.
Be happy, at peace, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
Oh man thank you so much mr Sand maker my good sir! That is an absolute compliment given the meaning benind Suiseki.
Watched twice..needed the laughs and then the de stress your suiseki offered. I luv your interpretation of a suiban and suiseki. beautiful 🪨🪵maybe u could do a 5 min meditation video...slow rotation of your awesome piece. Also your pup Isa cutie
Very nice! Breaking a rule no I think you enhanced it with the beauty of the wood.
First You sent me down a rabbit hole of suiseki searches.for that Thank You. Second, Your closing shot with your Halo light in the Right place just hanging over your head should be your channel pic!! awesome. Great job!!
So cool... I want one!!
I became so emotional after your piece was completed. It's gorgeous. Thank you for sharing
Interesting idea ,thank you for sharing
Outstanding!!! Love, love, love this!!!💕👏👏👏
I actually have a suiseki and didn’t even know it! My brother bought it for me at an estate sale; he thought it was a cool rock and neat that someone had carved a wooden base (daisa) to perfectly fit the stone. You really are never too old to learn new things! And you have encouraged me to try making my own suiseki (though I won’t be carving. ) Thank you, Jesse, for an uplifting video. As you say, “Much love.”
Nice job Jesse
That plank turned out so well!!
That is a gloriously beautiful ugly rock, so proud of you Jesse, love love love 💜
Astonishing display of a suiban. Bringing the life of the wood together with the stone and moss is sheer brilliance! May your inner peace be fulfilled.
Thanks for sharing "Rock Bottom" in Ohio.
It looks so beautiful and peaceful, like all of it was meant to be together in just that specific way.😍 Amazing job Jesse! Thank you for sharing this video!✌️🤠
Gorgeous!! Mission more than accomplished!!
Absolutely amazingly beautiful…! You are always a delight to watch! Congratulations…! 💗💗💗
You are such a gentle sensitive soul!
Your creation has it all! The meaning behind your project design makes it that much more unique and Beautiful!!!
Beautiful, rock and wood. Wood is natures art as is stone you used. We saw sooo many faces and profiles. The combination and meaning is beautiful. Thank you.
Oh just wow Jesse. Love this. It looks so beautiful and zen. I’ve never heard of a viewing rock before. Super cool. Cheers.
One of my subscribers suggested I buy a book on suiseki a few years ago, and I did. I have yet to tackle making one though. Like you, I get out looking for rocks and get completely distracted by all the pretty rocks and I forget to look for something just for this purpose. My plan is like yours was, to carve out an indentation in the wood to perfectly fit the stone. I imagine it being as hard as it looked like it was for you. I need to make this a goal for this summer: to find a suiseki rock. After that, I'll put off actually carving the wood for a few more years, probably.
Your project turned out amazing. I love the wax finish on your base. That really brought out the color. I used tung oil for a project once that gave a really nice, more natural finish than polyurethane does.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Oh what! Man Rob that is so cool! I actually found this rock before I even knew rockhounding was a thing. But then I never got around to actually doing it.
Man, the carving of the Diaza, the wooden thing that the rock is sunk into, is so confusing to my brain. I’m going to get it one day, but I reckon given how you did the crazy rolling rock thing, you’d be able to figure it out. I totally urge you to try it! They’re beautiful to look at and also, then you can tell me how to carve the Diaza.
Honestly though man, that rock you made was so up my ally for something to play with. And you nailed it!
@@Rookie_Rockounding I'll let you know if I ever make one. Actually, I'm sure there will be a video of it because we're always looking for a new video idea, aren't we?
Haha, oh man, always. But honestly please let me know if you do make one. I reckon you’re gonna love the end result. Have an amazing weekend mate!!!
Absolutely stunning. I love every aspect of it. The wood is so beautiful. The contrast in colors and textures is just gorgeous. You can feel the piece. It takes you places deep within. Just perfection. Amazing work Jess. Now that's talent.
Oh my goodness that makes me so happy Donna! That’s exactly it’s purpose, and to know you felt that through a video of it just makes me feel like I did it justice. 😊
I now want to learn more about it, and making them. I did watch the video on the history. It's just so awesome. Yes you did it true justice my friend. A lot has to do with how you talk, your demeanor, tone of voice, just everything. You have a calming speaking voice when you are explaining things in your videos, when it's just you. I also love your fun side when you are with your mates. You are just an all around awesome man. Keep up the amazing videos. I look forward to the next one. Lots of love bud. ❤️
@@donnalantz7981 ohhhhhhh that’s so cool! You watched that video! It’s amazing right. It’s like the first documented case of a rock addiction haha! But seriously it’s a pleasing different take on appreciating stones.
Thank you so much for being so kind Donna. I tried so hard to explain what that other video did but I had to edit it out because I couldn’t fully do it justice. So it’s heart warming to know you felt the Suiseki was worthy 😊🙏
I truly enjoy all your videos Jess. I feel like I'm right there with you . I wow and get super excited right with you. My husband will look at me like I'm crazy at times when I'm watching you and getting so excited out loud when you find spectacular finds. You have taught me a lot as well. Someday I would love to meet you just to say thank you in person. I have met Michigan Rocks ,😀, just missed meeting Agate Dad by a few miles while in Minnesota on vacation.😪 one of these days I will make it to Montana and meet several rockhounders I watch from there. I haven't been able to get out and do much rockhounding do to health reasons in the last year. I'm hoping I will be able to this year, not looking too promising at the moment. So I just live vicariously through you and my other favorite rockhounders here on CZcams. LOL.
That is absolutely beautiful. To me, it looks a bit like a petrified ogre head on a platter. You hit a camera angle, and I saw it. I absolutely love it.
I used to hunt jade. There were pieces I found that would be perfect for this. They were beat up and not good for much. As far as carving, or jewelry. But beautiful none the less.
I wish I would have known about this 20 years ago. I had ideas about rough jade and manzanita burl. Wish I would have done it.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I would like to say Thank You.
There are many, many rock hounding U tubers out ,but in my opinion your at the top.
Your spark ,curiosity, wonder,and respect for the nature around comes thru on your filming . I feel as if I'm a part of it all.
Thank You for You ,and sharing your adventures ..
Very nice. I truly enjoyed watching your presentation. Cheers!
That's gorgeous! I remember watching a k-drama where the husband was obsessed with these & it was a hilarious bone of contention with him vs his family. In the end it was absolutely heart warming plot twist. He was angry about a death in their family & he had picked up the rock to throw it but remembered something happy instead so he kept the rock. Then he started collecting them from places where they had happy memories as a family. I didn't know about them until I saw the show & lemme tell you as a rock hound I found it to be profoundly compelling. Secretly been making my own collection of these viewing stones myself. Just way way way smaller lol
Wonderful contemplation stone. I love weird rocks…that one is perfect. Thanks.
Beautiful, love to story to explain the concept. Great way to showcase rocks. Breaking the rules is always good in my book with art.
Oh my goodness. I love it. Thanks for sharing. The history of the wood was amazing.
I loved the project Frookie. I will have to look into that type of rock and learn more about it. Great job my friend.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL, I love the shape of that rock and your choice of wood and it's History makes this piece even more special and beautiful than ever. Bravo on your challenge piece sir 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤.
This is a really beautiful, peaceful piece. It would take pride of place in anyones home
Well done you should be very proud of the finished piece thank you Katie Victoria🇦🇺
Just watched this - perfect in every way! I have also been learning about suiseki - and I suspect I will be a bit of a rule- breaker too. 😎
Oh no way! Kate that is awesome! Honestly, it’s way less time than polishing haha! But I want to make one with the Diaza, the wood that it sits in. Unfortunately, that’s going to take a bit more wood work knowledge for me. I’m keen though! Haha!
Kate I loved your project and I love that it took another passion of yours and coupled it with rocks. They’re just beautiful!
@@Rookie_Rockounding So are you, my friend.
Great job with the bonsai Danielson... Beautiful it is💚
Marrrrrrrr I’ve been so bad at replies lately! Life has just been hectic but I just want you to know just how much I genuinely love you and also just value you. Like massively. I hope you know that!
You have inspired me to do the same with one of my dohnut flint's,thanks from london
Dude that is great sumthing totally different I felt very calm watching this 👌 😄 well ✔️ 👍
Ayeeeeee cheers Pauly!!!! Man do you reckon a rockhound this weekend sounds fun? If we don’t end up going camping? I’m super keen dude!
@@Rookie_Rockounding same creek with a snorkel 4 days of remember
@@paultherockhound7277 yes!!! Heck! Yes!!!!
Now that’s an awesome idea to do for the challenge!!! You did an amazing job!!! Love it!!
That is absolutely the coolest. So calming and natural and totally made that breath taking rock the center of attention. Great great job!
It’s beautiful!
Thank you Nancy 😊
Beautiful man. Well done indeed.
You did this naturally beautiful rock proud! Great meditative display!
I can see an Elephant!
❤💕
I saw that too!
@@Rookie_Rockounding Wow! 🐘💕
Mate that's awesome! I'm a drystone waller from Tasmania but live and work in Scotland,I'm always trying to place 'ordinary' stones in the most athletic way possible and I find it extremely satisfying 😌 .
Awesome stuff mate
This piece explains a lot!!!! It is so totally you in static form. I was not expecting this, but am impressed. It is lovely in it's simplicity. Great job brother!
This is a very nice display piece :) Ahhhhhh
Absolutely stunning, calms me to see such care taken to make something so nice.
Thank you, I’m so glad it’s had it’s desired affect 😊
So beautiful in time and space. Good on ya! I’m sometimes still working on perfection. Will no doubt be a lifetime job.
Love it!
Beautiful, great project.
Thank you for sharing the journey with us all.
Never heard of this but the connection is so like many of these journeys .
It is just as much about the doing as the being.
Thank you so much for sharing your jounery and joys of.
Now off to organise my mates and me next fossick to see if I can find my stone.
The rock is beautiful, and the wood is incredible. Another successful makers challenge. Right on mate. 😎
Aye cheers mate! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Jesse that is beautiful. Thank you for your inspiration. You guys have all really rocked this challenge!
That's an amazingly beautiful rock , you're correct when you say most people won't find it attractive , for my taste it's beautiful.
That is a unique idea to use a traditional style of Japanese art. Great job my friend .can't wait to see how the other challengers are making out. Till the next one. Cheers
What a wonderful art form!
Wow! Such a thoughtful and beautiful project! The story behind the wood was amazing! Everything you do is exceptional! There is always so much thought behind your projects! Wonderful work!
This is so cool, it's beautiful.
Really enjoyed the video.
Absolutely gorgeous! You did a great job on it! 🥰
Just WOW Jessie..It is super duper gorgeous...I guess you went with flow.. ;-) and the result is just amazing...keep going with your flow.. Much love Lea..ahh and btw I sent you an Email ;-)
What a lovely project. I love how the making of it complimented the final intention. As an artist I often find the final work doesn’t necessarily look like I originally pictured. As long as I remain mindful, I make intuitive choices that tend to work out well. For instance, when you were adding the sand, at one point you made a choice between having an unbroken edge to having some of it scattered out a bit from the edge, in my head I went “Yes!”. I expect you’ll get many years of enjoyment from your Suiseki.
Very zen,I like the change
You’re such a beautiful soul. And you’re just adorable!! I love you’re creative approach to projects. You’ve taught me something today that I will carry on to my own projects. I am creating a meditation space soon and I think I will create my own viewing stone for it. You always bring the peace. ✌️🥰
I love it. Gorgeous piece
Just beautiful. You did amazing man!
Amazing job Jesse! So beautiful and so peaceful! A wonderful maker’s challenge project!
That is wonderful! So simple a design but gorgeous! I love the basalt rock! It actually looks like a face to me!
Dude, Jesse this was insanely cool man. I love it, what a cool rock, and that walnut is gorgeous! Thanks for all you do and keep inspiring!
Thank you so much mate! Honestly, it’s a simple form of displaying a rock, but it’s steeped in history and just something I’ve wanted to do for a while now. I’m glad you liked it mate!
I wouldn’t have covered the wood anymore than what you did. Beautiful piece, I think walnut may be the most interesting wood out there. Keep up with these great videos!
Holy crap dude. I’m not gonna lie to you. lol. When you said what it was gonna be I was hesitant. Once it was finished though, weirdly I swear I feel drawn to it. Well done my friend.
Ha! That’s awesome cptn!!!!! So awesome! That’s exactly their purpose and it’s so simple yet appeasing to view. It’s weird right!?
Hey jess,, love the spiritual meditational visual effect of your entry for Theos challenge,
You put so much thought into it., and even left room to put a kfc bucket on for movie nights 👍😂
Oh my goodness. This is just stunning. I love it. Well done. That little piece ofmoss just sets it off. Thank you so much for sharing.
Ohhh I am so glad you like it Darlene, and I have to agree, the little bit of moss just made it all pop haha! Thank you!
Beautiful! Great job! 🥰
Good afternoon Jesse. Somehow I missed this video back when you posted it. As with all your videos, this project was a true vision. I know it didn't come out how you expected but you let the stone and the wood tell you how they wanted to work together. The end result looks like a 3d Landscape portrait painted by one of the renaissance masters. If I saw that in nature, a beach leading up to an ancient boulder, like Theo said, I would sit there for hours admiring how the whole scene works together.
I miss your unique perspective on life and our shared hobby. I hope to see a couple more new videos of you and your friends walking the streams and rivers showing us all that Australia has to offer.
That is so you, Mr. Rookie. It looks like a black lake. I love the rock a lot. All soft and bubbly at the same time. I think I will try this with one of the rocks from my mom's rock garden that I absconded with after she passed. Well done, Mr. Rookie, well done.
Oh Roxanna! Yes! Please do, it’s super simple compared to how I made it look. Even find a flat pretty dish place the rock and put sand or pebbles or even water in there and you’ll be amazed at how the rock repays you with it’s proud position on display. It’s like the rock is standing there with its chest out all happy to finally be adored. 😊
Beautiful work !
I think with this Maker's Challenge I've learned new things from the other creators more than any other challenge. These project ideas are really awesome and this one is no exception! That wood turned out great and looks professionally done. This was a great inspirational project. Well done Jesse!!
Oh man I gotta agree right. I feel like people went in such cool different directions with their work. Thank you so much man. I loved yours! The icing was the radest!
Super job inspiring
Awesome Stone! I have a huge piece of river tumbled Jasper that I want yo do this technique with. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Absolutely awesome..✌❤
It soothed me.😻
The rock looks like a space turd from the Apollo 13 mission. They were the turd mission to land on the moon. Jj its looks amazing bro! 🤣
Bahahaha! Dude! That’s the best! “The turd mission…” haha!
Love it! It is a peaceful art🙂
I love it! The Japanese arts are so beautifully steeped in tradition and you've created your own tradition with this wonderful piece. I love what you did with the wood and the rock is such a cool shape. A great choice! It seems to ask that one imagine water flowing over its surface, greening the little patch of moss at its base. Thank you for sharing the process and thank you to your neighbor for helping you along the way. 💕 🐾 I love your pup too!
I’m in love with it!!! It’s gorgeous.
I absolutely love this! I’m ready to give this a try at my house!
This video has inspired me to do something like it with some of my rocks. Thanks for the inspiration fellow rockhounder!
That is really cool.
This is such a simple but very elegant project.
Well done! ♥️
Oh man, honestly kyle, I know this is a late reply brother, but what a compliment. Thank you mate. Honestly!!!
@@Rookie_Rockounding never a late response :)
And you are most welcome! 🤠👍
That’s absolutely gorgeous just the way you did it, moss was nice touch.
Absolutely stunning Brother... Thank you... 🌲🦅🦉🦅🌲
ROOKIE!!!! This is so awesome! You totally nailed the zen and aesthetic behind this wonderful art form. I've been wanting to do one for quite some time now and almost did it for the challenge, that would have been so funny if we both did! I'm so glad you did it, though, you knocked it so far out of the park! The story of the walnut was to die for and the stone was just perfect, even better that it had been gestating for so long wanting to become what it is now. You've honored the tradition, and the rock, while giving it a Jesse spin... which is pure fabulousness. You've inspired me to try it, but then, this whole Maker's Challenge seems to be fuel for such fires. So cool to see the whole community get stoked over trying new things and pushing the envelope on skills and vision. Cheers to you and thanks so much for sharing this journey!
