Woodturning: The Galaxy Burl
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 01. 2022
- Another burl too weird to get by without using resin, and this time I decided to aim for a purple-ish starry night type of color scheme. I am still learning how the color pigments react with one another and with the different long-cure-time epoxies from Total Boat, but this time I definitely overdid the black pigment because the purple was almost drowned out in the end. Ultimately, I do prefer subtle colors to bright and bold colors, as I think muted colors tend to let the wood speak for itself, complementing the natural colors rather than competing with them. It was unfortunate to have lost so much of the gorgeous burl in the process, but I focused primarily on refining the curve of the piece and removing any saw marks or unnatural edges from the final shape.
Let me know what you think of this piece and whether you would like to see more hybrid projects like this one. Also, let me know in the comments what epoxy colors you think best complement the natural wood. I cannot always respond to every comment, but I make time to read each one.
Thanks to Total Boat for the thickset fathom epoxy! This stuff worked wonders and did not crack, even though I poured over 2 liters of resin and an 8 inch pour. As usual, the Starbond CA glue (discount/affiliate link below) came in handy with filling the stress cracks and voids in this burl.

You are a master magician brother. Hats of to you.
Epoxy resin and exotic wood make a great combination. You have an exquisite perception and I thank you for a beautiful and useful video.

Wow, the swirling in the resin is amazing
When you were finishing the outside, it looked like a globe of the world. Beautiful work!
Yes, I thought the same thing
I thought the same thing. Your wicked amazing. Where can I purchase you work?
I thought the same. Some alien world... It was so beautiful
Magnificent, I could fill a room with your creations and never have to go to another museum! You’re truly a artist in the highest order. Thanks
Thank you, Sam. It have lots to lean still!
These videos are visual therapy. They're such a joy to watch. Thanks! I love the contrast of the darker hues of from the resin with the warm bright wood. It's a masterpiece.
You are the most amazing lathe artist that I've ever seen. Bravo!!!
This was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen !!! Thank you for sharing this 🥰 !!
Again you manage to create a beautiful wonder!
Magnificent, truly magnificent. Thank you for making this video for us to see.
I'm not sure which is more impressive: the skill to make it or the vision to see it ?!? But I think it's beautiful and I'm hooked after seeing 2 of your videos.
Absolutely stunning. The resin makes the wood stand out.
Awesome!
Thanks!
I am telling you right now that is superior workmanship. Kudos to you, JUST WOW!👍

O. M. G. That is staggeringly beautiful!!
How you are able to see a treasure waiting to be created, out of such a sad fragmented lump of wood is phenomenal…..Bravo!!!
Thank you, Beverley! Slow and steady does it. I spent quite a while simply refining the curve and removing saw marks and tool lines.
I love burl and resin together. Absolutely gorgeous combo!
From one turner to another.....absolutely beautiful.
I love what you do. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us.
Thank you, Iyasin!
This is stunning! I love the starry night look of the glittery resin! I started watching your videos a month or two ago and find it very relaxing! Thank you for posting!
Diese Vase ist wirklich phantastisch! Gratulation. Hervorragendes Handwerk!
Your pieces are always eye aching beautiful, but what caught my eye on this one were the slomo effects when chip clearing the drilled holes and my "Hey! I have the same wall treatment in my shop!" moment. Lol.
I really like your progress working resin. I would have to say this is my favorite so far.
Thank you Bethany!
That is a beautiful Vase! The Maple Burl is beautiful wood, and your choice of using black & purple epoxy greatly enhanced it.
Great job!!
Thanks Greg!
Seems to capture the images of the universe.Outstanding.
Can’t say enough about your artistic ability and creativity. I’ve seen a number of your videos and I must say this one is a topper!
An absolutely stunning vase. Fabulous work
Sure does look like the galaxy. Beautiful.
This was so stunning. IT felt like something that should be deducted to a loved one. It's so pretty. Your ring is so neat. I should try to find a neat one for my husband.
That’s incredible! You sure are a master of your craft!! 👍👏🙏
Absolutely stunning!!!! 😍
Thank you!
beautiful piece, excellent camera work, great editing. good stuff all around. would love to see you tackle some more resin heavy projects in the future.

Muy bonito recuerdos desde Málaga España
¡Gracias por tu comentario!
I AM SPEACHLESS , I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE THIS TO MY WIFE BEFORE I DIE ,ITS UNREAL BEAUTIFUL , MASTERFUL WORK
Another great one, David!!! I wish I had your creativeness. You have been truly blessed with a wonderful talent. The turning looks just like the night skies full of distant stars and a Nebula.
👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much, John! Cheers!
What you wood turners do fascinates me. I will never have the equipment to even try this but it makes me ache to remember all the wood I have burned. Love ya.
This is a gorgeous work of art. Keep up the great work.👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks, David!
H E L L O out there in your own StratosPhere, that art places you in your own Idaho. You gave me something for my bucket list. I just hope I get there. Thank You So Much for sharing this. Speechless. That measure of creative is awesome to watch. I once saw a Burl in the woods that was the size of a 5 ft. circle and hanging 2-3 ft. off the tree , I think you need that piece of Log. However it will entail a Special Ops enterprise. Hold that thought, Never leave the drawing board, you Modern Day Rembrandt. We Got This. CAIO for now, Greatest Regards, Big Kev from the Coast, & his bride Karen.
Personally, I think that was the perfect amount of purple, just enough to bring out the sparkle. Love the shape!
Thank you!
WTF did I just watch. That was splendid, spectacular, soothing to watch.
A gorgeous piece, David! I said to myself "That burl will never hold together," when you first started turning. Silly me, I hadn't read any of the description to see it was going into resin. Your fault, of course, since I was too excited to see what you were creating to waste time reading. LOL But seriously, I really like it. As you experiment with amounts of pigment, colors, and even the wait time before pouring, you'll find a solution which gives the results you're looking for.
Side note: Keep your shovel handy. Looks like your area is in the jackpot for a ton of snow tomorrow. Stay safe!
Thank you, Dana! I appreciate your comment. I am constantly in the trial and error stage and am always fortunate to get to project completion with our a catastrophic error.
I just have to say. I love how you always how yourself honing the tools. Keeping them precision sharp before starting the project. So many people don't know how beneficial this is to do.
Thanks! You're absolutely right.
Unbelievable! You are an incredible craftsman.
i watch thiis wideo with great plesure, well done, many thanks to David!
Very, very beautifully done,thank you. 😊👍
Mmm…really lovely vase, a pleasing shape, and beautiful wood, and the dark, sparkly resin compliments it perfectly.
I love watching wood with expoxy resin being turned on the lathe. Great job and great work.
