Turning a Piece of Crap FIREWOOD Into Something Unique!

[@babbes4210]

The simple lines accentuate all the irregularities. Just beautiful.

[@lizbrowne6481]

Well, I'll be! Aside from the beautiful vessel you created, the "whole lotta shakin' goin' on" sequence truly brings out the concept of balance ...👏🏼👏🏼

[@johnsmith4589]

Okay, I’m STILL laughin’ over the whole earthquake/lipstick scene…that was BRILLIANT! 😎

[@zahirmamdani]

Initially I was a bit confused, did it just go into an advert. Made me smile, re watched it. 😂

[@bwrightaway2877]

Same here. I was watching this at work and everyone looked at me when I busted out laughing.

[@zahirmamdani]

One thing though, the noise and vibration that it would have made would be really intense. No joke about that.

[@billmclaughlin8438]

You got a good gal there to play along with the lip stick scene. I’m still chuckling over that. 😂😎

[@evilotis01]

yessssssssss

[@michaelhofer9149]

You are truly a gifted craftsman! That piece turned out stunning.

[@novembermiss]

You are a refreshing change from other woodworking videos that have far too much love for epoxy. Your approach is definitely the creative one, and your results are amazing.

[@AuthorEvaIvonneOlson]

Really enjoyed the off-balance result at the beginning! Thanks for the giggle!

[@knut3339]

Very nice work! What I like best is that you didn't use epoxy. That's always the killer for me with videos like this.

[@yvesmontcalm1709]

Very Art Deco era. My favorite contemporary (I'm old) design period.

[@michaelross8794]

EARTHQUAKE!!!!! Thank you for including the "difficulties" too. For those of us just learning, it's nice to know we aren't the only ones that struggle.

[@TheDistur]

Walnut as firewood! Wild. Turned out real nice.

[@johnchapin7707]

There just aren’t enough turning videos with “lipstick interludes”… Loved that. I also love those round “butterfly” plugs. Great result!

[@alanbennington2641]

Brilliant, and unique! The plugs not only strengthened the piece, they also gave it that special character! As always, extremely well done.

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Lovely shape. Love how you used the plugs along the cracks. Also like that you didn’t quite line up the grain. It’s off just enough to give the idea of randomness, yet not so off as to cause issues for most folks. Well done!

[@williamfawkes8379]

Amazing that the tree grew little circles inside.

[@olivierwalter5044]

Remarquable. Comment faire du beau au cœur du banal. De la belle ouvrage. Continuez!

[@carlspringle9342]

Beautiful piece, but really loved the earthquake lipstick part. I'm still LMAO. Thanks for a great laugh. 😂🤣😀

[@maggienelson4437]

No resin? YES!!!!!! :D Superior imagination shows itself yet again.

[@blueteeth.spooker]

The beginning of this video was one of the funniest ever - Brilliant!! Not funny for you at the time, but a genius bit of editing for us to laugh at. And once again, you produced a really lovely piece of work, Bravo and best wishes, Olivier

[@wtfBrad]

All your work is amazing but the ones like this without symmetry are my favorites. The hidden designs and "imperfections" give the piece such a great personality. And that lipstick cutscene was hella funny!

[@marylynne9104]

That is beautiful! So much more satisfying than just resorting to resin.

[@alanm3438]

Wow, a lot of work but it looks cool. At first I thought that you were making a bongo drum. The plugs are a cool idea.

[@SeverityOne]

Ha ha ha! That bit with your wife/girlfriend was brilliant! Great workmanship, too, of course. However, there are dozens of channels with great workmanship, but only one Olivier Gomis.

[@vhostovich]

Certainly agree !!!

[@janicelucas8561]

Have not seen a piece like this in woodturning videos!! Beautiful grain, good job. Wonderful piece.

[@lolcec81]

Комментарий в поддержку канала и ролика, а также труда мастера.

[@loucinci3922]

Turned out fantastic! Nice job. Thanks for sharing

[@calvinbass1839]

The plugs are brilliant! Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.

[@beverlym5465]

Lots of great woodturning vids, but no one has the creativity or skill level as you. This project turned out fabulous!

[@lilmisstrixie]

What a creative and beautiful solution! I love that the result looks a bit like trails of bubbles.

You are definitely the Master of the Turniverse!

[@jeanclaudecourcy8941]

encore une très belle réalisation, bravo.

[@joeljezequel]

ah ça fait du bien de voir autre chose que de l'epoxy, et j'aime beaucoup le résultat !

[@leisongivangomo4478]

Brilliant! Absolutely gorgeous and brilliant!

[@rustysmommy50]

Lovely just lovely, glad I wasn’t burned!

[@allendesomer]

I'm going to use plugs on my next project with big cracks! 👍 Looks great! Thanks! 🙏

[@Vickie-Bligh]

I love your humor and I love your art. That was drop-dead gorgeous.💖👍

[@LadyKatJPhillips]

Oliver, you're awesome & brilliant. Love the use of wood circles!

[@markbahlke9091]

Very cool project. Great way to get rid of the cracks, and still make it look beautiful. I really like the idea of saving firewood, and making something beautiful from it. Thank you!

[@staceyritchie7100]

Absolutely beautiful, Olivier! Nice craftsmanship!

[@UkeOne]

Oliver, you woodturning wonder stud, you've done it again! From rags to riches, you turned a piece of junk into a beautiful, museum-quality piece of art. That's what one gets when his intellect, ingenuity and outright talent go bizzerk! Great job!

[@bradwiebelhaus7065]

Looks great, I like how you "stiched" the cracks.

[@jackthompson5092]

Gorgeous vase.

[@BobBlarneystone]

That's a unique way of dealing with cracks!

[@sophiegenin4557]

Bonsoir Olivier Gomis, encore un beau vase sorti tout droit de votre imagination et d'un morceau de bois. Superbe.

[@stephenO1870]

Beyond Bespoke, honesty revealed, is what it is ….. impressed how this prevailed in the end….👍

[@dejathoris4890]

Oh my gosh didn't know you created that earthquake 😳 😂😂😂 ,here you go again created beauty out of crap 👏, lovely how you Integrate the little circles with wood not others materials, good quality work, see you next video, amazed us again

[@Joe1935429]

Original, one-of-a-kind, pieces of art, like whatever this thing turned out to be, are the product of an artistic and original mind, blessed with a sense of humor. If it hasn't happened yet someone will ask, "What does it mean". Thanks.

[@ingridbaasbecking2999]

The shape is prefect! Had a great laugh as well. Thank you once again, Olivier!

[@hughcawley473]

Masterful as ever. I am full of admiration for your design and execution skills. And the avoidance of resin is excellent! Thank you.

[@samanthadean1083]

As usual, fantastic carving and a very amusing video!!! Bravo, sir! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@stephanielovatt2787]

Well done! I Like it! Great ideas for turning the faults into features!

[@suzetteedwards7956]

That turned out beautiful Olivier. The shavings coming out while hollowing looks like a mini snowstorm. The beginning was laugh out loud funny.

[@lisaapps6890]

Great job 👏🏻

[@dreyhawk]

That looks fantastic! I love how you used the plugs to,deal with cracks and other issues. It have it a unique artsy effect which is just perfect for the shape you gave it.

[@cookiescoop6065]

Beautiful work sir always beautiful. Have a great weekend ✌️

[@greerturner5925]

I have always loved patchwork!

[@robertboycewoodturningn.c.7838]

Great job. Love to swap decals with you to put on my board in my work shop to show on my channel. 👍👍

[@jenesisjones6706]

Stunning, as always!

[@cynthiahappel3697]

That crap piece of firewood looks great. I'd have that in my home anytime.

[@harrykeel8557]

The earthquake scene was pretty cool. It is amazing how you can take a bad looking piece of wood and turn it into something beautiful and useful.

[@donnamealy4877]

I love the circle ties. Walnut is such pretty wood, and you made it even more interesting. Really lovely work out of “crap firewood!”

[@CapTexamerica]

I like the character in this piece. Clever solution without epoxy. Lovely!

[@elementalcore3454]

Anything can be beautiful with enough time and effort.

[@raydriver7300]

‘Turned’ out lovely. I would have panicked 🌞

[@urbanawoodproject3123]

Is there a video where Mr. Gomis shows more details about his lathe-mounted drill press?

[@НатальяКовалева-у8е]

Спасибо за видео, долго ждали. Очень красивая ваза👍👍👍😊

[@TheShootinStar]

You've done it again...made art out of a plain ol' piece of wood.

[@rennaehanson9996]

I love what you did to fix the cracks, very creative and ingenious! I also cracked up with your "earthquake" and lipstick. LOL Very pretty!!

[@alexnye7137]

What a great idea using plugs. Very unique looking. Thanks for sharing.

[@yvesd_fr1810]

Bravo Olivier. Magnifique production et très content de voir que vous avez préféré l'usage du bois à celui de la résine (même si cela peut donner de très beaux résultats) pour rattraper les défauts du bois ! Je regarde toujours vos vidéos avec grand intérêt et admire votre savoir faire !

[@edwarddolphin9123]

Gorgeous piece of workmanship

[@tonynewton2250]

Brilliant! Very clever work with the wooden plugs. Kudos.

[@craiggarwoodguitarist.4736]

Superb , fantastic work 👍🏼

[@veraduarte1117]

Belo trabalho.....Você é mesmo muito talentoso.Parabéns....

[@CalvinJ82]

Killer work. A lot braver than I. Cool jig for stabilizing the piece. Keep those fingers and toes, safety first. Thanks for sharing your skills, love the wood fix instead of epoxy.

[@jensbuschbaum7353]

It's the artist making the difference between scrapwood and art. How long did it take you in real time to complete this vase?

[@lindagoldberg2325]

Love the way it looks with the round plugs.

[@niklar55]

I've never seen a GIANT plug cutter like that before! Now I have! They would make a very useful addition to my toolkit, and solve a lot of potential problems. Thanks. Bowl's not bad either, a triumph over adversity! 😁👍

[@tctc8578]

What a beautiful piece of art, the textures are next level!! Great craftsmanship 👍👏🙏

[@ThéoLRDS]

Bien vu le rebouchage. Vraiment bien vu.

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

Absolutely amazing and stunningly beautiful

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Vase turned out great

[@joermnyc]

Beautiful, though I’m wondering if the “wings” you cut off could be used for something?

[@davekolp4552]

Very cool, I have lots of trees and a portable lumber mill, But this is a great idea. Thanks I see my future.

[@brendacolter368]

Again another work of art. You never disappoint. Great work ❤️👍😍👏

[@lesdawson3847]

i like your humor, and TURNING

[@АНГород-ОК]

Всё гениальное 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 просто!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@angelialarkin2116]

Stunningly gorgeous

[@ianslater3965]

Another amazing video thank you, Would it be possible to show how you clean up the workshop and disposal off wood shavings Thank you..

[@teckle.turnings]

Absolutely beautiful! Well done! 😀

[@mikedoyle5362]

Very nice. Love the repair and process.

[@1954JDR]

That is a beautiful vase. Great job.

[@hazelenoh]

J'admire vraiment ce que vous faites j'aimerais savoir faire la même chose un jour En attendant je vous regarde faire et je suis fan!

[@gunterschone8402]

Nice video Oliver. The vase looks very good. 👍🏻 The wood has a beautiful grain. 😮 You can see that you can turn a simple piece of firewood into something beautiful. 😁 It's a pity that I only have a mini lathe (a large lathe, doesn't fit in my workroom either), got a piece of yew last week. The landscape gardener wanted to throw the piece of wood in the garbage, the piece of wood (yew) is approx. 1.30 cm long, diameter at the bottom (root) approx. 40-50 cm and at the top approx. 10 cm. Have a nice weekend.

[@chrisdavis1722]

Beautiful rustic vase! Great job 👍

[@teamwild_UK]

An interesting approach to filling cracks. Great job!.

[@Cancun771]

Get a chopping block. Drill a 40mm hole in the side. Now you can use a nice big clamp to clamp any firewood to the chopping block which makes it so much easier and safer to chainsaw it.

[@ceciliabrooks201]

Beautiful piece of wood! Great piece!

[@crackerjack010101]

Absolutely love this piece!

[@designabeej]

Stunning piece 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@nzlemming]

Looks astrological. Nicely done.
