Woodturning a Firewood Burl into $1500 Vase

In this week woodturning video, I turned firewood-distanced black locust wood with abundant burl into a stunning vase. Deep pour epoxy resin, infused with captivating green metallic pigments, gracefully intertwines with the intricate patterns found within the black locust burl. Coated in glossy lacquer for protection and a high-gloss finish.
This is my biggest hybrid vase I have ever made and the colours and shape came out so good (to my preference at least) it makes it to one of my best projects.

Love this piece, especially the way that you have the resin complement and highlight the beautiful burl grain without overwhelming it. True art!

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 😀

[@LadyKatJPhillips]

The first colour pour on the burl took my breath away! Gorgeousness on the colour. Brilliant! 😊🎉

[@mdeysenroth]

Once again. Such a lovely piece of wood turning. I couldn't wait to view the final work. I had to skip ahead". Beautiful workman's ship.

[@2CraftySeniors]

It must be so very satisfying to take something that's rough and a little bit ugly and turn it into such a beautiful vase. I love this one! The emerald with the wood is simply gorgeous.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 😀 These projects by far my most favourites. Seeing the transformation of the wood is very satisfying

[@chippysteve4524]

Amazing result. It looks like an ancient world map thanks to your choice of pigments.

I love the way you've taken this massive piece of wood and trimmed it down into practically nothing. Well done.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thanks Karen!

[@MrVillafum]

[@deeharper2482]

Stunning! I was scrunched back in my sofa, fearful that something awful was going to happen when you started turning this oddly shaped burl! But, then you found the beauty in the wood, as always. The resin poured beautifully. Gorgeous piece 😍

Wow you must have put plenty of hours in turning such a huge rough lump of wood into a beautiful, stunning vase - excellent work! 👍🤩

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you very much! The process was rather straightforward so wasn’t too bad. The blue urn was a lot more time consuming

[@videofan792]

It must be a most satisfying moment when you place your engraved seal on the bottom of the vase. 😊😊😊

Love the shape and size. A bit bigger than most wood turning clips, the pieces end up smaller. I like seeing the odd or abstract shapes to compliment the wood. Lovely grain on the vase in this video. Thanks for sharing your work.

Lots of safety issues, hopefully you will give that and proper tool selection/use strong consideration in the future.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Honestly I won't. Everything I did and do is safe to me, if you decide to do the same that is on you.

[@chitomrun]

@@DavidsWoodturning thx for the reply, no idea where you received your training, this is not about me, or even you. This is about others seeing what you are doing & thinking it is safe, and getting injured or worse. As turners we have a responsibility. In every aspect of my life, I approach everything as if I can always learn more.

he must be of German heritage to do all that.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Hungarian :)

[@michaelmiller2397]

[@viewer92759]

$100 at the most, maybe. Also, you can't put water in it and use it as a flower vase because the wood will eventually absorb water and crack the vase.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Certainly is not for cheap people who does not appreciate something man made. No offence was meant. My projects are for a niche clientele who is looking to add something one of a kind to their home. Also they are for display and decoration only

[@willowmoon7]

Beautiful piece, but I have to say that was a *_lot_* of wasted resin :')
