Woodturning - Burly Firewood to Beautiful Vase

In this woodturning video, I will be showcasing the process of transforming a firewood tree burl into a stunning hybrid vase. This burl, which has been completely air-dried, possesses an abundance of character but required the discerning eye of an artist to save it from being burned and grant it an extended lifespan. By incorporating red epoxy resin into the project, I successfully turned things around and created a remarkably contemporary and ornamental piece. Multiple coats of clear lacquer were then applied to ensure protection and achieve a premium, high-gloss finish.

Fantastic color choice. Lovely piece.

[@Tirani2]

That is absolutely gorgeous. I can imagine an LED candle in the center with a flicker setting, casting light like a wood fire in the heart of that vase.

[@robboland9857]

Great job, like the profile and the resin color.A stunning work of art sir. A beautiful vase indeed. Thanks for all the hard work you do for us. Love your camera work, outstanding. Like your channel, one of the better wood turning channels on KZbin. Thank you for sharing all your post with us.🌿 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@grevillewarwick1885]

Another beautiful demonstration of artistic and technical skill to extract almost unbelievable characteristics from old wood and added resins subjected to an artist's realised perceptions.

Hi David this wood is fabulous the grain and the markings, the red resin is lovely. The vase is magnificent and unique well done. You really are a masterwoodturner. Amanda xx

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Excellent piece. When you started pulling the bark off I wondered for a moment if there would be any wood left. The resin filled in wonderfully. Came out beautifully.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you very much! honestly I had the same thought and also changed the design few times in this project

[@jamespierce7723]

Awesome beautiful work thanks for the time and effort. I really enjoy this channel

[@MatthewHiltner]

I found the little game that the lathe and camera were playing to be equally entertaining.

[@timf6916]

Nice

[@dorishagler1088]

Thank god I could go and buy something so beautiful as this because if I had to make it myself to have it 😳 epic fail huge major fail I could never . Great job though

[@pfzzzer]

I seen you dip your fingers in the glue...ouch... I'm sure your creation was well worth the pain :)

[@personallleu2686]

This is very nice. Only thing is, I would be a bit concern is this lumber treated? If not, thinking this can cause to have bugs/insects. imo

[@Scorpio-wk8bd]

What a gorgeous shape, the resin colour really pops and brings out the stunning burl pattern! Just wondering if you settled into your new workshop and will a tour video be coming soon as it would be interesting to see how much equipment you use to make these works of art that you do? 👀👍🙏

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you 🙂 Honestly I got way too much machines 😅 Contact me via my website and happy to send some pictures of the workshop to you ;) www.davidswoodturning.co.uk

[@user-hc9ih3nw9i]

Класс!!! 👍👍👍

[@robertkrug906]

Did you use a pressure pot for the resin cure? What's the paper your using to wrap the wood with? Nice work as always.

[@KMFWR]

What did you do the wrap mold with?

[@PopsShop]

Where did you get your medallions? Vase is beautiful. Great work!

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you 🙂 Check out Von Hanke on Etsy

[@4JERIc1]

Is this a lathe you’re using? I’m guessing. I don’t know what mechanical things are called 😔

[@turdferguson5300]

You may already be doing this but I would talk to some of the fire wood cutters to have them save ya interesting pieces. These guys shouldn't want nearly as much as ordering wood. If they come through for ya you might make them a bowl? As someone who appreciates a fine piece of wood I love it when you turn fire wood. Taking something that was going to be destroyed and making it into a cherished piece is really good.

[@DeliaOrtiz-ic6lr]

Vivo en México donde puedo comprar una pieza de las que hacen?❤️👍

It's a pity that black paper couldn't have come off easier .

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Yeah, great to build mould out of it but not easy to remove. Good it is very cheap so not a big deal :)
