Woodturning - Rooty Firewood to Beautiful Vase

In this woodturning video I will transform a firewood tree root into and beautiful looking hybrid vase. This fully air-dried root has some much character but certainly needed an artistic eye to rescue from fire and give another chance to live longer. With the help of some epoxy resin I was able to turn this project around and make something very modern and decorative piece.

If the value of craftsmanship is measured by turning something that has no value into a beautiful piece of art, this project deserves 10/10.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 😀

My late father would have loved this. He was a woodturner in large part of his life. Still have his workbench, tools and many of things he made in wood. Rest in peace father. Hopefully you have many hours in Heaven doing what you loved. Woodturning.

This is what I appreciate about the Internet; I'm a minimalist, don't like to own lots of "stuff," but I do enjoy looking at things. Beautiful items, such as this wonderfully done vase, are a real joy---and seeing it doesn't take up one atom of space in my home, and nobody can destroy it (hate going to museums because of so many undisciplined cretins visiting them anymore). I can come back to this video as many times as I want, and then move on to the next video of beautiful things. That is excellent work, sir, simply exquisite!

@gooHero I don’t get your post. Meaningless? The guy just showed us you can make a vase from one of the most difficult and often discarded pieces of a tree. In a world that is going to the crapper due to greedy and ignorant people tearing down trees and eating up our natural reassures, for a guy to be able to make a container out of something they aren’t normally made of, deserves praise.
