🙋♂️🏴 Fantastic what a beautiful piece of art you have created. It's amazing how you transform what looks a dry drab piece of wood into a rich smooth vase.
I have a good friend who tells me to smash a hammer to pieces of wood I turn with lots of cracks and holes. After watching this great video, I’m having feelings of not listening to him anymore and possibly letting him go. This vase is beautiful and well done. The gilding I must say is very satisfying.
Well yes, tell your ‘friend’ to go to hell to be honest! Most all things can be saved or salvaged, unless they really as terrible! Satisfactions what we need 😁😁😁👍
I haven't got a single iota of artistic creativity in me, so I really enjoy what you guys do with gnarly pieces of wood like this guy in Brazil czcams.com/video/l5fiYfcRNfw/video.html . It is your creations. Tell your friend to bugger off. Cheers
Thanks Pat. Short video that one. Be a couple of weeks till the next one. It’s a LONG make! You’ll see what I mean when you see it! I think I must be made doing what I’m doing!
That lathe steady really coming into its own, great little build that was. Really paid for itself I’m sure. Love the finished product as ever. Loads of character and bet it’s something you could pick up and study, then another time fine something different you’d missed first time with all the cracks and tones going on in there.
@@johnswettenham4560 🤣🤣🤣 kinda used to the cold now. I’m down in the South East of England, so we get the fairest weather of the UK, only a few bitingly cold days when the wind is blowing combined with a low temperature. I have high hopes for a really long admiration comment from you on the next or next but one video, that will come out in probably a couple of weeks from now - for your memory banks - spiky infinity piece - that’s not it’s name, but an avid description 😁
@@WoodWithD I’m looking forward to it, along with any other videos you post, they are so enjoyable and informative. Does bog oak cost much over there? Cheers
@@johnswettenham4560 depends on what grade you get, yes a fortune for tone wood - the stuff that’s suitable for musical instruments. I buy middle of the range for wall handing pieces and other pieces I don’t want big splits in, but mostly I buy the discard stuff fairly cheaply on saw milling days, dry it out over a few years and try and make something out of the strange shaped pieces that have shrunk massively as the moisture releases. With a bit of imagination you can create all sorts 😁😁😁
Dick, Again a very, very nice project. I really like your -endless- supply of Bog Oak. The deep black wood holds indeed some very interesting patterns and even colors. Combined with the shape and the gilding… well it was a pleasure to see your work and the end result! Thanks for sharing, __Frank
My pleasure Frank! I think you will appreciate the design of the next BIG project, that I’m working on currently - just remember ‘the very inverted pointy piece’ it’ll either be the next video or the one after 😁😁😁
Beautiful work Dick. The vase is lovely. Pretty that wasn’t you doing the gilding at the end. Very nice touch to finish it off though. Adds a major touch of elegance.
Arh you see Doug, Lenore is my secret weapon, took a lot of training to get as good as she is a gilding and I can’t say I’d have the patients for it, so she can gild everything she wants ☺️☺️😁
Hey, hope you’re well, next conference is not going to be this October 😞 they pushed it back, it’ll be January 2024, but be good to meet up. Ping me a text or WhatsApp soon 07960 587 192
So beautiful! The design is fabulous, simple enough to let the wood shine! Did you build the lathe steady you used? Could you post a link? I'm going to check out you home page, but sometimes they can be hard to navigate. Thanks!!
😆😆😆🤣 no, defo kept it on there, just! Didn’t really make it for that vase, I made it for the African Blackwood pots and similar size pieces, was seriously stretching the limits of that model of the steady I made 😁🙏
Hello Richard- that BOG OAK vase is stunningly beautiful. Nice form, pleasing proportions, and pretty inside. I also enjoyed the bit showing how the inside was made shiny. Please show more of that. Do you ever make the huge cracks shiny? (I'm sure that's more difficult than the it sounds) ....Gem.
Hey Gem, thanks for your lovely comments as always. Short video this week and will be a couple of weeks at least till my next one, as the current project is a big job! It’’s quite the process to gild something like this, done over several sessions. Lenore has a degree in restoration of oil paintings including gilding, so a bit challenging to condense that for a CZcams tutorial on gilding 🤣 though I imagine someone has. I see a lot of turners attempt gilding, some with reasonable success, others attend weekend courses to hone the skill. 😁
@@WoodWithD A guess- it's a boomerang that has been cast out of resin in your new pressure pot. Clear resin surrounding the little off cuts of wood that is too small to work with, and you don't want to throw in the wood stove. 🙄🤣🤣🤣
i would love to turn some bog wood sadly its quite expensive and im waiting till im a bit better at turning and you have done a cracking job there, PS:just subscribed to you
Welcome along Glasgow John. Do you have Facebook? Find me: Richard Anthony Mills - same profile pic. Message me your address and if you promise to stick around, watch my vids, like (or dislike) my videos, opinions matter, occasionally comment, then I’ll post you a bit of bog oak to turn a wee bowl out of 😁
@@WoodWithD don't do FB and i'd hate for you to be out of pocket,(if you still want to i'd be grateful and i'll send you my details through gmail) but i'll certainly stick around just watched another one of yours #792 with the scraped gold inlay another cracker PS: found you through mike waldts videos glad to see hes doing well
@@glasgowjohn7831 Indeed, well pleased to see Mike back up and running! He’s a very good man/turner! It will not put me out of pocket at all mate. Richardanthonymills@gmail.com I await your email 😁👍
Bog oak is brilliant to look at but it's a pain to work with. I've pulled up lumps of bog oak from farmland I reckon are 8-10,000 years old based on the colour and their all very badly cracked. Nobody seems to want it anymore!
The quality of what I get hold of varies dramatically from musical instrument grade to quite punky, like this lump. Have a look over some of my other bog oak videos to see some nicer quality being used, like in my toy car 😁👍
It was okay, I guess. I definitely wouldn't have made a vase out of that piece. It looks unfinished or broken maybe. Some blue or red resin would've made it look better and more finished.
Not everyone’s cuppa a tea, but someone will love it and buy it 😁👍 Need my new pressure pot before I fill bog oak with resin, there’s often ALOT of cracks that need filling.
Hey Arabic- I'm not a comment bot! Your just jealous because Richard makes really beautiful art pieces. And Lenore is an expert at the gilding. So go away now with your negativity....and be gone.🦍
MAN!! BRUH!!! That is freaking AMAZING!!!
🤣🤣🤣 Love it! Need more comments like that 🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful 👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it 😁😁
another fantastic piece of work
Thank you Boetie 😁😁😁😁
This is absolutely gorgeous! Another beauty, Dick!
Hey man! Thanks!
Did you see the car and leave a comment?
You've done it once again my good man. Beautiful wood . A stunning vase to grace the mantle of any home. I love bogoak. 🏴👍😊🏴
Thanks mate, so go turn a bit of yours 😁😁👍
Very very nice, love the bog oak
Thank you Mr Mills, me too, it’s got such variance in the working! Love the challenge 😁😁👍
🙋♂️🏴 Fantastic what a beautiful piece of art you have created. It's amazing how you transform what looks a dry drab piece of wood into a rich smooth vase.
🤣 quite shocked myself to be perfectly honest 😁😁🙏🙏
I like the idea that you way you incorporate the gold leaf in the project. Great job 👍
Hello Sioconian, take a look see at my other videos. All incorporate some gilding or other. It’s what we do 😊😊😊
I'll do. Hopefully you can visit me as well 😊

Thank you Allen! Hope you enjoy the other videos too, and be sure to leave a comment on the car video to be in the draw 👍
Beautiful work again!
Thank you Tessa 👍👍👍👍👍💕
Another amazing video 😀
Thank you Mark 😁👍🤗
Another great piece! Love how much use you are getting out of your laith steady and great improvisation for sanding.
Awww thank you Kristina 😁 I do appreciate your comments and likes 👍 💕
Nice 😎👍

Beautiful vase Richard. So love the look of bog oak. The gilding looked amazing. Cheers 🇦🇺
Hey John, thank you kindly sir. I hope you are keeping well 😁😁😁
@@WoodWithD All good this end. How are you and Lenore going over there, getting cold I bet, keep rugged up, settle down with a hot cuppa. Cheers

@@WoodWithD already counting down the days! Looking forward to it! Cheers
Love the sander! Haha as you know, sanding scares the beejeebies out of me! 😂 stunning piece once again! Awesome work!
Don’t be afraid of the sanding! I hate doing it, but it’s a needed, I start enjoying it at about 400 grit, assuming the finish is coming on well. 😍

Thank you Maya! Yup certainly was an ugly block to start 🤣👍😁
Great job of both n of you! Lobe it!
Cheers Matthias 😁😁😁😁
Awesome looking vase. Great work
Thank you mate! I see you’re doing well on the followers. Keep up the good content 😁😁😁👍
@@WoodWithD thank you. Yes it is gradually climbing which is nice.
That, sir, is some amazing work!
Thanks 🙏
Beautiful work Dick !!!
Cheers Dimitris - gonna be a couple of weeks before the next video. It’s a LONG project! 👍😁
Great video👏Thankyou all the way from Newcastle!!!

That has to be the best looking vase I’ve seen I love bog oak but I don’t think I’d have the nuts to turn it invade I ruined it 😂
Thanks buddy,
I’m pretty sure it’s indestructible, I love the stuff 😁😁😁
Did you spot Groot?
@@WoodWithD no I didn’t I may have to go back and see 😂 love the top though with the live edge
