From A Fail To A Win

Welcome to this weeks woodturning video:
From A Fail To A Win !!
In this video I turn an epic fail into a win. I turn a piece of spalted beech into a vase, then experiment with dye. When this fails, I remove the finish and create an ebonized oak base. I feel this video falls into the ASMR and entertainment categories.
If you find these video’s a good source of entertainment, and thought this piece was an epic win, I’d appreciate you like, share and subscribe.
Thanks for watching.

As cool as the original design was, I appreciate seeing the natural grain of the wood. Well done and nice save.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks man. It’s nice to experiment though right?

[@sherylbentley3724]

I agree 🌴🍊🐊

[@PrplButtons]

I was so happy to see it go back to the natural wood!! It’s beautiful!

[@stephendonathan6782]

Beautiful work 👏! You made the right choice. The spalting in that wood is amazing. Hard to beat mother nature's artwork. Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!

[@leahgroess5361]

What a journey! I had so many thoughts during this: "Why would you cover up that gorgeous wood?" "The dye looks cool, what's the fail there?" "Oh I see, that finish is not stable at all!" I'm glad you went back to the original wood, it looks really good with the black base.

[@MOLLIMEDIA]

The paint technique looked cool…it looked like blown art glass. And the natural wood looks great with the black base. I’m guessing you used a primer before the color application. If it had shellac in it, the tannins shouldn’t have leached out. I think this technique is worth another try. I like where this is headed if you’re willing to try it again. Best of luck to you!

[@mayberry1965]

Knowing when to scrap a finished look definitely worked out on this piece. I absolutely love it!!

[@ccorbin83]

I’m glad you took the paint off. The natural wood is so pretty.

[@c.danjou.1696]

I made wood turning when I was 14-15 YO, and what I see here gives me the taste to return to that, and I am 73 by now. What a nice lobby. Like others above, it was a nice try with white epoxy and color spots, but the grain of this special piece of wood is unlikely. Bravo.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

You definitely should give it a try buddy 👍🏻

[@rosemarycarrasquillo7111]

Thank you for sharing your idea. Even if you didn't like the outcome, you when back to the machine and grind the color off and put it in his natural beauty. Beautiful job the first and last. Beautiful!

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks Rose. Glad you enjoyed it. 😊👍🏻

[@nortonknows]

I love spalted wood and thought you were nuts covering it up. Sorry your dye failed but am very glad you got it back to spalt. I just did a spalted urn and cut an 1/2” inset in the lid and put my badge and wings in it then poured resin over the whole thing. It is really solid.

[@Kuro_Tsuki]

That sounds like a treat for the eye~!

[@kaytiej8311]

That wood is beautiful. I'm so glad to see it so respectfully preserved in its natural glory.

[@melgillham462]

As epic as that spalting is, I had trouble figuring out why youd cover it. But experimenting is a must to lubricate the creative flow. Nicely done sir. 🤝

[@ralo4304]

When you sprayed the white I am like "NO!! What is he doing!!" I love the 'paint splatter' effect the wood gives. Beautiful!

[@warehouseman6325]

Much better. When you started painting that beautiful grain, I was gonna stop watching but I'm glad I waited. Beautiful now.

[@mrkkitson]

I'm glad the original finish was a fail. That wood is BEAUTIFUL!

[@JackMackWoodturning]

👍🏻😊

[@bethcorey6022]

Oh Jack. I love this way better than the first.

[@theabarendse2410]

I nearly wept when you painted it. Im so glad you took it off in the end.

[@kennyrosenyc]

The entire time I was watching this I was wondering, 'Why cover up that crazy woodgrain pattern?'. LOL

[@robertakerr655]

Have to admit I almost cried when I watched you pull out the paint...but definitely am glad the wood spoke up and you brought it back to it's natural beauty. It truly is a stunning piece!

[@klee6024]

seeing the wood is far more enjoyable than when you painted it. great job!

[@JackMackWoodturning]

I totally agree! Do you always prefer wood over paint finish?

[@klee6024]

i have to say i do indeed prefer wood over paint. i sometimes see woodturners apply a "colored" finish... such as yellowish or similar, where i find the natural grain color is beautiful enough. but, that being said, other finishes don't necessarily take away from the beauty of the wood.

[@vickiturco9026]

I was so happy when you removed the paint and dyes. I thought the wood was so beautuful naturally. It was a gorgeous finish.

[@TheParkAttendant]

Masterful rescue! You will have to try this one again.

[@bigsparky65]

Beautiful vase, perfect choice of wood. I like the natural wood versus the colored one

[@roccobierman4985]

That natural woodgrain is AMAZING.

[@leisongivangomo4478]

I’m glad you took the piece back to natural wood! However, the white with the unique dye pattern was also kinda cool! Please do the colour version again, but with a more nondescript wood piece. That way you get best of both worlds

[@omarchammaa4555]

Beautiful piece of work there Jack as usual! 👍🏻 Thank you for sharing!

[@thirzapeevey2395]

The original design reminded me of the Easter Eggs my mom used to paint, back when you could buy actual Haas egg dye that you could paint on the eggs. I miss those.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks a lot TP. Sounds like you had some great Easters! 😊👍🏻

[@taimsjess9303]

I'm soo happy u ended up just leaving this to be a natural beauty! I'm a fan of color/tye dye messiness but when I saw u cover up that amazing natural pattern I was so sad! Sooo glad I stayed until the end of the video!!! Love you work n your eye for your creations!

[@KelleyBartholomew-lx2uj]

Absolutely beautiful, I just wanted to just be itself all along I’m glad that you saw that the wood is beautiful . I would love to have that , I would display that in my house proudly !💜

[@lindyhensley2946]

I prefer the final version. The wood is so beautiful and dramatic. Much better than the painted version which was actually better than I expected. Try it again sometime with a lesser piece of wood.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks L. Again with dye or no dye? Glad you enjoyed it. I reckon you will like my latest vid. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3STopKMgb-lnsU

The natural wood looks much better, another beauty, ❤️ From Boston

[@fiberotter]

Can't say I am sad the staining didn't work out. The epic spalting deserves to be showcased.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

It would have been very visible on the internal part of the vase.

[@gisleyalves975]

🇧🇷Such a magnificent and unique piece of art. Very beautiful.

[@RKaye87]

Great again Jack, look forward to seeing what you've been working on every week. I personally preferred the original, may have shouted NOO when you shaved it all off, I would have loved having that on my shelf, perfect or not it was different and a 100% one off. To be honest all your stuff is, I'd be pleased to own any of your work, your a real talent. Don't give up on the paint idea though, try it again, may work better next time 😀

[@carolflores2905]

I about died when you covered up that beautiful wood.

[@leighw9684]

The resin and ink finish was really cool and I hope you try it again on a piece of wood with less character. But absolutely the right call here...letting that spectacular spalting show itself off!

[@Alexchachula]

Beautiful! I have had things go bad on me, I think what's most important is if you can recover the piece, and you did that in amazing fashion! Fantastic work brother!!

[@amandatallis9875]

Hi Jack Well done you I'd of thrown a wobbly and throw it away great save it looks awesome thanks for not given up. The natural spalting and the grain of the wood is magnificent. Can't wait foryour next video.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks Amanda. Did you prefer the revised version?

[@amandatallis9875]

@@JackMackWoodturning I actually liked the both but the revised one is what nature is made to look like.

[@FleaChristenson]

When you began spray painting the urn, I started screaming at the screen. No! That beautiful wood!!! I’m so glad that was a fail. It was pretty, but the wood is prettier.

[@Pipejawood-Woodturning]

When i start watching this wideo i see just beautiful spalted maple wood. When you painted with white epoxy resin i said oh noooo. In the end you make beautiful peace of art.

[@TheEnpee]

A beautiful work undone for more spectacular finish.

[@helenak.5762]

Glad you removed the dyed finish, the wood is beautiful. Good save ❗👍

[@RandallHallKaizenReiki]

Do you ever think, "Every time I sharpen this, it gets a little smaller. One day it will be gone"? Good call on the finish, by the way. That wood is too beautiful to be covered up.

[@sonyamcelwrath9040]

The first design was really nice but I personally like the natural wood. U do fantastic work!!

[@maddieadams75]

Beautiful piece of art ❤ this wood grain needed to be seen.

[@robertchapin3683]

Wow, what a great idea for a steady rest. Those look like dryer drum bearings. I'm glad you chose the natural finish. The spalting in that wood was amazing.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks. The splaying would have been on display either way as the inside of the vase was fully visible. 👍🏻

[@susanwills4723]

Well hello again.wow this wood is interesting inside many ways. I love the pattern on the wood. It would look beautiful polished. Looks like someone has splattered something on it. Isn’t wood fascinating. Well I wasn’t expecting the colour you added but it is so cool 😎 how amazing. So so beautiful. Excellent job. Both looks were great but my favourite is the finished piece.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks Sue. Me too. Did you like the colours though?

I have to admit that I was shocked when you started painting that great spalted wood. But i do like the concept, maybe use something like pine instead 😅.

[@GiraffeFlavoredCondoms]

Definitely something to try again, that design was cool. Just maybe on a less pretty piece of wood :P And it seemed the paint bubbled up? So maybe a layer of white resin instead, set, then clear resin + inks. Or even just a white resin piece, no wood at all except maybe a base. Cool video 👍

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks. The whole idea was to have interesting patterns on the inside as well as the outside. If I used a less interesting piece of wood I would definitely change the shape so that the inside was not visible 👍🏻

Nice save Jack. I do like the finished product but wish the first try had succeeded. Anyone can make a spalted vase including me if I get the right piece of wood. But please try the technique again, maybe on a plainer piece of wood because I think you were going somewhere cool. Stuart
