I really like the color and finish you got on this vase, Billy, looks great! 🙂 Phil

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you very much, Phil! Your support is always appreciated!

[@Bramsshed1913]

Being careful isn't chickening out mate.the beauty of the vase revealed when you applied the finish,nice job Billy.👌

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you very much, Bram! Always appreciated!

That's a really pretty piece Billy. Your video was very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing. Hope to see you soon

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you kindly, Al!

Looks great, Billy. We were finally able to see the results of all those shorts.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, Bill! Glad you liked it.

[@jamessurrarrer1026]

Very nice. Good choice of colors.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you!

[@scottmedori1437]

Beautiful piece. Really like the colors.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you very much, Scott!

Beautiful work Billy. You could have done it, but the steady rest really did help you with the hollowing process. Gorgeous vase you’ve made.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, Doug! Yeah, maybe, but with the inclusions in it, I really didn't want to risk getting a catch and seeing a 25 pound chunk of liveoak flying around the shop.

Beautiful vase, Billy. 😊😊

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, Rob!

[@MartyRaaymakers]

Turned my first bowl a couple of days ago. Yours are so much better

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you so much, Marty! Keep practicing. You will improve.

[@ronaldtodd4819]

Billy, I wouldn’t call it chickening out. I think it is better called “Good Common Sense”. Good job

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, Ron!

[@rogerwollam]

[@jasonrichelhoff4249]

So nice wood 🪵

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you very much

[@JackieBurnsCreations]

I wasn’t quite sure when you put the color on it but it came out beautiful. Nice job 👍

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you so much, Jackie! I knew a lot of viewers would be taken aback at first. I wasn't too sure myself. But I'm really happy with how it came out.

[@morgancalvi6675]

I like the idea of a powder...but epoxy is a much better idea than CA glue.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, Morgan.

[@edcarpenter5986]

Nice vase!!!! Question: are you still using the Elbo hollowing tool? I have one but haven't used it for a while! I rewatched your original video about adding the thread rod to tighten it. I'm planning on making one tomorrow.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Yes I am! I use it regularly. And on this vase.

[@jonsayre9404]

Beautiful!! I use Milliput from the Uk instead of the 2 part epoxy. Question: at the end of your video when you were cleaning the bottom, how did you hold the vase in the chuck ?

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you! I held it with the shark jaws of my Vicmarc VM120 chuck.

[@morgancalvi6675]

Billy...I have a question...you said you were going to fill in the cracks or something with oxyoxolate. Now oxolates aren’t good for kidney issues...I know it’s a vase, but people have been known to take a swig of water from them (hey, we all do desperate things...or if hiking, and someone found a vase along their journey that had oxolates in it...would that leech into someone’s system (like they say plastic will if put in microwaves))...will the oxolates you apply around 23:05, rub off on someone? By the way, would you like us to call you Mr. Burt?

[@TheMessyStudio]

I said epoxy off the lathe, Morgan. I don't even know what an oxyoxolate is.

[@morgancalvi6675]

@@TheMessyStudio yes, I was mistaken..I went back and listened and turned on closed captioning and you indeed did say, ‘epoxy off the lathe’. Say it fast though and it sounds like, ‘oxy-oxolate’...which to be honest, isn't even a word...lol. My mistake, never mind. It’s a beautiful vase....one I’d buy for sure.
