What a marvel! This is everything I love about woodturning videos: as much wood preserved as possible, and the resort to resin only when inevitable to make it even more beautiful. I was overjoyed to see that a new David Adamsen video had dropped, and I sure am not disappointed!

[@susanburrows5288]

I'm surprised the red didn't show up more (at least on screen). It is an absolutely gorgeous piece, and I really like the amphora-type shape!

[@danalexandroaie3233]

Simply great! Words cannot describe the beauty of that beautiful work, it looks like an ancient Greek amphora, it simply looks great. You can sell it for a huge amount of money or you can keep it for your self, as one of the best works of yourself that you can be proud of.

[@GeorgeReyna-y7q]

"Set it free", are you kidding, he killed those poor indigenous insurgent worms LOL. That is a piece of art, even though it's a modern crafted piece using modern tools, electricity, motors, machines and all clearly it takes a real eye to see a thing's potential & real skill to bring it out, I applaud you. I haven't gotten around to reading all of the comments but someone ( @fastjazz ) four months ago stated it took 60 hours, I'm not sure if he learned that by watching the video or maybe you mentioned it in a comment but of course 60 hrs x $100 per hour would be $6,000 or if it's $50 per hour then half, $3,000 for it, but then again I'm sure art isn't exactly priced like this, have you sold it, what would you sell it for "if" you were to sell it or another way to look at it, for how much would you have made it for someone if they had brought you that chunk of wood?

[@paultrussy]

That is undoubtedly the best wood-turning video I've seen (and I've seen a lot). I particularly appreciate the fact that it is properly edited with a minimum use of sped-up sections, which I always regard as unprofessional and an all-too-common aspect of KZbin content. For me it is best left out altogether, but top marks for the editing... As for the piece itself - what a beauty! ❤ PS. I appreciated the slowed down bits even more!

[@DavidAdamsen]

[@jamesdaley4967]

😁 This "Desert Landscape Vase" reminds me of the images seen from the International Space Station. I haven't done any real wood turning work since the early 1970's, but the soothing sound of tool on wood reminds me of the tranquility enjoyed while smelling the aroma of the wood. There was another KZbin woodturner I used to watch; then he started "talking" through the video. That ruined the relaxation of watching the emerging of the finished product. I feel so at ease after these videos because it reminds me of the harmony of artistic creativity. Thank you!

Don’t know if your question was answered, but in the notes it tells the story (where is says…more). It was commissioned for $6k and took him 60 hours of work over a two month period.
