"Coil" How to make a vase from rope, resin and willow wood. Wood turning, resin casting

This project demonstrates the ultimate awesomeness of rope, incorporating it into a vase made from clear resin and willow wood. It and other projects are being sold at ArtForOUR.org to help raise money for Operation Underground Railroad. The vase is 11 inches tall and 10 inches wide.
I basically spend my free time dreaming up ways to express my artistic side and simultanously to raise money for Operation Underground Railroad. O.U.R. funds, supports, trains and guides rescue missions for children who are in sex trafficking slavery and free them to better lives with their amazing after care program. We cannot support O.U.R. enough. (OURRESCUE.ORG)

I can honestly say that out of the bazillion videos that I have watched of wood turning, this has to be the most beautiful piece of art that I’ve seen. I just discovered your channel today. What makes this piece even more beautiful is the fundraiser. As a person with a family member that is a survivor, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for using your talent to help those that have dealt with or are dealing with these terrible situations. God bless

Hi Dan. I'm a retired, disabled Senior Master of Art (Teaching) from South Australia. I stumbled across your site & decided to have a look & I am glad I did. What I enjoyed was the spontaneous creative attitude on display as you worked & the piece evolved into a beautiful vase where the wood & the rope seemed to float in space, largely brought about by your use of your apparent, preferred clear resin. Well done on your relaxed commentary as well keeping us informed as to what things were running through your mind keeping us even further engaged in what you were creating. Don from South Aust.

If you can, always use clear resin. I love the "floating" effect on your projects. So many woodturning people add so much color to the resin and the natural beauty of the wood & extra decor is gone. Maybe a pinch of color for Halloween or Christmas 🎄

[@artgivinghope]

Thanks Kate! I totally agree.

[@Kediil]

Such a unique piece. I love the combination of materials. And the partial voiceovers is great, and the music during the down time is perfect. Watching something be made is always nice, but learning about the process, whether thought or action, adds a whole other facet. I'm curious why you don't use a mold release on the plastic? Not that it's necessary for what you're doing. If you ever try to do a larger piece than what your pots can handle, should try out the method that tabletop makers use. Coat the wood with a thinner epoxy first, allowing it to soak into that top layer and seal the wood so that the wood can't release bubbles into your deeper pours.

[@artgivinghope]

Thank you! Great advise! www.artforour.org/how-you-can-help

[@BrailsfordWoodworks]

I do turning as well, and I have done several epoxy pieces (not as many as you), but I have struggled with forms and epoxy leakage. Your solution is brilliant! I love it!

Thank you very much! www.artforour.org/how-you-can-help

[@jakobraahauge7299]

I hope you take as careful attention to safety as we see in this lovely video! Resin and hardener are very rich in highly problematic chemical compounds - until they've properly hardened they should be treated with utmost care and caution! Please keep well ventilated and in the case that you get ANY on your skin please take care of rinsing very carefully! And if you feel like you're getting any allergic reactions please make sure to get proper medical advice! Please stay safe - and have fun! 😄 Lots of love from Denmark 🤗

It's beautiful and intriguing. I am in full agreement that vacuum degassing, followed by the pressure pot is the way to go with porous materials such as these. Pressure alone would not have cleared the bubbles/air out of the rope fibers. This is outstanding work.
