[@IanMacWoodturning]

Thanks Matt! Took a little bit of figuring out this one but we got there haha

[@Hamit_HMT]

Very nice color and woodturning.

[@tfturning]

Such a gnarly piece to begin with but what a amazing end result! Great work Ian!

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Cheers Tim! It was a bit of a pain but we got there in the end, hope you’re doing well mate

[@TurningStarkers]

That is so awesome Ian, I will be watching this one again later.

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Haha cheers Brett!

[@dtork47]

Boy Ian, I was “rootin” for ya all along there! Very nice piece, those resin shards are sharp sometimes! Nicely done, love old gnarly roots. Be safe….

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Haha thanks mate, yeah the little chips of resin feels like your hand is getting sandblasted 😂 hope you’re doing well

[@jackthompson5092]

Beautiful bowl Ian. It reminds me of a spittoon from an old western movie.

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Haha I see what you mean Jack

[@Woodlandbill]

That a beauty mate 👏👏👏👌👌👌

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Cheers Bill, good seeing you Sunday mate 👍🏻

[@lisamaries5677]

Just simply breathtaking... 😮❤

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Thanks Lisa!

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Absolutely stunning Ian and well worth the wait from my point of view. Great job turning it mate. Some viewers with just 3 letters in their name obviously have no appreciation of the skill that is required to make something like this. Take care Ian. Cheers, Huw PS You gave that person the perfect reply.

[@IanMacWoodturning]

😂 thanks Huw! You do get some silly comments on KZbin, I suppose that’s part of it though! Hope you’re doing well my friend

[@kimconley4679]

Awesome, Ian! Hope you are well.

[@jenniferharton6383]

We did miss you last week but the project turned out so incredible! I love the colors and the shape. Well done my friend. I hope all is well. Thanks for the video.

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Thanks Jen! This one took longer than expected 😂 hope you’re doing well & thanks for your support as always

[@JamesCouch777]

I cut one up today that looked a lot like that one. I'm still debating on just how to tackle turning the pieces and thought you might give me some ideas and you did, thank you!

[@IanMacWoodturning]

No worries! Glad I could be of service!!

Прекрасная работа, вы мастер 👍

[@paulchapman1175]

hi Ian mac I hope this piece of wood turns out very nice from paul chapman at London uk 🇬🇧

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Thanks Paul!

[@paulchapman1175]

You are welcome From paul chapman at east sheen @@IanMacWoodturning

[@Noneyabusinessok]

Am amazed how beautiful this ended up. Would love a piece like that in my house. Probably too expensive for me.

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Cheers Norman! I’m not really sure what to charge for it to be honest 😂

[@Noneyabusinessok]

Lots of work involved, so can't be given away for pennies. Known artists would charge an arm and a leg. Hopefully one day you can be recognised and make money from something you seem to enjoy and have a lot of knowledge about.

[@dennisoliver6421]

Outstanding!

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Thanks Dennis

[@bradwiebelhaus7065]

Nicely done.

Thanks Paul!

[@Umberto.Goglia]

What a job Ian ! Really a masterpiece....well done!

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Thanks Umberto! Hope you’re doing well!

[@med1pilot1956]

Good grief. How many hours did the prep alone of gnarly root take?

[@IanMacWoodturning]

The whole thing took over a week! The cleaning up of the root wasn’t too bad, we took it to a friend who has a sand blaster so that did a good job of stripping it back.

[@benmben1]

🎉🎉

[@MoleValleyMaker]

I bet that was pain to turn! 8:40 before I saw the SPG as well😂

[@IanMacWoodturning]

It was a bit of a pain mate yes haha, it only made a brief appearance but I feel it did a good job 😂

[@xbxb]

Wood turning is the worst form of wood working or craftsmanship. It is so wasteful especially when they use tons or resin then trim it to nothing.

[@IanMacWoodturning]

I know Jek, this root was so useful! It really is a shame it had to be wasted..

[@thefish5861]

The comment section is the worst waste of perfectly good electrons.

[@IanMacWoodturning]

[@patriciabeuster4556]

Finished surface coat looks very rough. Did you apply heat to the epoxy to remove bubbles or did you clean it before applying the final coating?

[@IanMacWoodturning]

The final coat isn’t epoxy, it’s UV resin so applying heat wouldn’t do anything. It has a very shiny finish.
