    I cannot believe this magnificent, majestic and marvelous piece of art is coming to me! We are looking for a quiet, mirrored, rotating display stand to do it justice. This is a piece that deserves to be admired from every angle. A spectacular blessing that will be appreciated all the days of my life! The Burl Runneth Over… as does my heart… not only when I look at it, but when I think of my wonderful husband and a wood turner whose hands have been touched by God. It all takes my breath away. Thank you!! I am truly honored. 🙏🏽🙌🏽

      А что это такое? Это имеет свое практическое применение или это красивая бессмыслица?
      И прошу вас, люди, не сотворяйте себе кумира.
      Да, мастер молодец, но он всего лишь талантливый и старательный художник.
      То, что вы говорите, это перебор.
      Так можно славословить восхищаться лишь Богом и Его творением. Но часто ли вы это делаете?

    I’ve been watching a lot of these wood turning videos lately. It is so exciting to me to witness the birth of these beautiful objects from the hands of so many talented artists. But, before this video, I’ve never really wanted to own a piece. I think this piece is magnificent. I’m in awe. I know I’m late to the party also - but, I was compelled to comment. I’m just in awe of this.

    My favorite thing (aside from the absolutely beautiful work) is when it speeds up like at 1:54 and you can see how smooth and precise his movement is. Most people's movements look erratic at such high speeds but his hands move like they're on a set track. A sign of a real pro.

What a lovely and unusual piece it is, and how amazing to think that something as potentially beautiful as a polished burl can originate in what is, essentially, a tree defending itself against a threat to its health.

I had a feeling you’d do something amazing and you did!!.... your ready for gallery work and display. In your spare time try to search and reach out to the various art shops, craft stores, etc as we discussed while back. Important thing is to just start getting your name out there, so little charity work for perhaps food banks, churches organizations etc to raise money for them, donate a turning to bid on etc. Anyway again great forethought, design elements, use of contrasting woods, and overall dimensions. Truly a very artistic piece!!!👍👍👍😉😉😉

      John, can you tell me where I can get some really cool pieces of wood like these to turn? I got my husband a lathe last Christmas and we’re having so much fun making things with it. So far; candle holders, bowls, vases and an urn. Limited sources of wood locally.

    • @JohnMiller-pu2qx
      @JohnMiller-pu2qx Před 4 lety +10

      Hi Susie,.... not sure where you live and you mentioned you have limited access to various wood types. I turn a lot of green and seasoned wood, but of course I also turn kiln dry wood of various species. You mentioned you brought your husband a lathe last Xmas... wow!!!... bet he was surprised!... what a great Xmas gift!... I get most of my wood from the woods here in Missouri and various arborists, tree companies, etc etc. ....and then let them season up a little to get the moisture content down to what I like, but that can be a little tricky and turning wet wood is not an exact science but less dusty but might be better for your husband stick to the very dry woods and kilned dry woods to perfect his craft. That leaves your wood stores, lumber yards, etc. rockler, wood craft stores etc but they can be pricy depending what your looking for. When I’m needing perhaps something special for a client that he has commissioned me to turn, I’ll check out eBay and see who has what, again depending what your looking for, size, etc I’ve come across quite a few good reliable sellers. Hope this helps somewhat. If your husband or you have future thoughts or questions bout anything please feel free to contact me, more then happy to try and help any future woodturners . Best of luck to you and your husband. Happy turning!!!!😉

      A Recipe my Mom created b4 I was even born. It is so delicious, -
      Mushroom Stew.
      5lb pork butt or shoulder roast
      6 8oz packs of mushrooms
      8 green peppers
      2 sleeves of celery
      6 12oz cans of stewed tomatoes
      2 large onions
      3 garlic cloves
      1n 1/2 TBSP of Italian Seasoning.
      2 TBSP of Worcestershire sauce
      1st cut up the pork roast into bite size pieces and begin browning in a huge pot with chopped up garlic- cut mushrooms and onions into bite size and add them into the pot, let them cook with the pork about 30 mins-cut green peps into bite size, be sure to get all green pepper seeds out of it, add the green peppers and let them cook down a bit while you cut the 2 sleeves of celery-add celery and stewed tomatoes and let cook on low 3-4 hours. And again, key thing is to not let any green pepper seeds get in it, They will cause a perfume taste if you do get any in it. AND if electric stove, Cook covered on 3 and stir once in a while while cooking. It'll make about 2 Gallons of it so you can Freeze a lot for when you get hungry/Craving for it again, And I Guarantee you will LOVE IT!!!

      Seriously, that thing is up there as one of the most beautiful objects I have ever seen. The technical skill is unreal. Just thinking about working that precisely with those species/grain patterns gives me the heebie jeebies. But in some ways I think the composition is even more impressive. The proportions and shape are so dead on, it looks fluid and yet formal, organic yet totally controlled. And apparently you managed to see that from the beginning. Bravo sir, Bravo.

    Uff, I could start crying to see the genesis. It seems like creation. Your balance of curves, edges and natural surface let me be jealous.
    Thanx.

    This is lovely! The finial was probably my favorite part, the color of the wood was fantastic. I would love to make background music for your channel sometime if you were ever interested. I think acoustic guitar would fit the setting nicely

    What an amazing piece David. I have watched a lot of your videos with absolute pleasure, but this one takes No 1 billing in my mind. I did 'sit up' when you brought out the Palm to turn. I have never heard of it but as you worked with it I did actually notice the 'splinters' but what a job you did turning it. It compliments the piece of Chechen Burl so well which, if you hadn't mentioned it, no one would have noticed your 'little slip up'. One of your best pieces, if it's possible to say that, & a credit mark to you for a brilliant job. Cheers, Don from South Aust.

      Thank you so much! This remains one of my favorites too, if only because of how difficult it was… and also a great learning experience too!

    That was AMAZING! It's like seeing the wood turn into cloth for you to drape as you wish.

    The burl bowl and lid were not enough yo had to go all the way with a base, a stem and a finial. Awesome 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing. And the wood choices. WOW !!!

    What a fabulous piece of art you have produced. The two different types of wood compliment each other perfectly in this piece. I watched in awe, trying to visualise what you had in mind but couldn't see it my minds eye until you put it all together at the end and it was absolutely stunning, in the true sense of the word. Talent is too small a word to describe your awesome skills & vision.

    That is quite possibly the most beautiful piece of bloody good craftwork I have ever seen. That burl piece is utterly beautiful, both the wood itself and the way you worked it.

    We all like surprises. All the same, I like to have some idea of what is in the works -- and without the slightest preview, and with a host of ads standing in the way, skipping around this video is not an easy option.

    Just down right amazing Sir!!! You are a true professional... I'm just getting into this whole turning thing... I've built Kitchen Cabinets for years, took a 13 year break and went into Law Enforcement... Got hurt and had to retire... But now I'm back at the woodworking true love of my life... You are the best I've seen out there... Keep up the good work...
