From A Fail To A Win

[@gsdfan8455]

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 🙏!

[@ccorbin83]

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

[@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.

[@warehouseman6325]

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

[@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!!

[@mrkkitson]

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

[@JackMackWoodturning]

👍🏻😊

[@ralo4304]

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

[@kaytiej8311]

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

[@pamelaremel7477]

When you started spraying the white paint, I was like NNNOOOO! So much more attractive with the natural beauty of the wood!

[@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 👍🏻

[@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. 🤝

[@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. 😊👍🏻

[@kymburriss4260]

What you thought was a fail was very pretty, but I much prefer the natural wood grains. My dad and my late husband both did so much wood working, and I loved watching them, helping when I could. I have several pieces of their handiwork in my home, and love it. My dad worked mostly with pine, but husband worked with oak, cedar, and black walnut from our property. It's all deeply loved

[@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~!

[@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.

[@theabarendse2410]

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

[@bigsparky65]

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

[@johnoldonekanole602]

Glad you scraped off that colored stuff. That is a beautiful turning .

[@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!

[@CJRuden]

I couldn’t understand why he would paint such a beautiful piece of wood in the first place. I love the natural wood! Nature is the best artist

[@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!

[@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.

[@jaysontwombly8261]

Yep paint/dye effect is a super cool concept. I hope you can get it to work in the future and show us. This piece is gorgeous with the spalting though. But I really want to see this paint/dye technique come to life!

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Me too. Needs a little perfecting I think

[@roccobierman4985]

That natural woodgrain is AMAZING.

[@wvello2265]

Gorgeous! Interesting with the colour but absolutely love the natural wood! Stunning on the black base!!

[@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 !💜

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

[@TheParkAttendant]

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

[@lisaworth6860]

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

[@sonyamcelwrath9040]

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

[@helenak.5762]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

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

[@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!

[@babygoose8716]

Love how you can remove it as if it were never there. Incredible.

[@justjulee9135]

This did turn out beautiful, but I loved the white with all of the colors. I hope you try it again.

[@Joe1935429]

Scary stuff there for a while. Glad that Nature's way carried the day. Thanks, Jack for showing us all of it!

[@gisleyalves975]

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

[@donnabyers]

I liked the second finish much better! Thanks, Good job.

[@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?

[@susanwills4723]

[@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. 👍🏻

[@S_Eglington]

Couldn't understand why you chose such an interesting piece of wood to try that with. Was very pleased to see you turn the resin off.

[@FranWhitten]

The end product was GREAT!

[@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.

[@TheEnpee]

A beautiful work undone for more spectacular finish.

[@pattigolden1]

I didn't know where you were going with this, while the "splatter" was very cool.... I LOVE the natural wood so much more!

[@jamierusso9078]

I'm glad you changed your finish. The wood is too beautiful to cover in paint.

[@mdeysenroth]

When you started painting it white I was yelling "No!!" at my screen. I just thought the wood was so cool and beautiful. Something about it reminds me of an old world map. Thanks for saving it!

[@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

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 😀

[@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.

[@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.

[@lesliefatout4731]

At first I thought covering up the beautiful wood was a bad choice, but I really liked it when it was done! However I agree that the natural wood is hard to improve upon. I call it a win either way!

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks. It was never hidden is it’s also visible on the inside of the open form vase. This is why I selected this piece of wood for this project. I wanted the contrast of natures patterns and man made patterns.. but as shown, nature always gets it right and humans make mistakes

[@lesliefatout4731]

Not, in my opinion, a mistake - rather an interesting and potentially lovely option!

[@nanbarber6631]
