Beautiful piece

[@williamellis8993]

Another beauty, Dan. The chatoyance is special. I don't know how you keep doing it but you do. My answer to your coffee cup is that my superpower is walking while chewing gum without falling (lol).

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

You are too funny! Thank you!

[@Carterandsontoolworks]

Another beautiful piece, that Peruvian Walnut is stunning. And very enjoyable to watch, as usual! Thanks for sharing, Dan.

[@julienlamotte7131]

Salut dan, encore et toujours, un super boulot, j adore tes vidéos et j apprend beaucoup merci

[@satyr997]

And another beautiful piece of artistry... simply love it - even if urnes normally make me a little nervous... ;-)

[@JordanWoodwerx]

Another great piece Dan, I love the chatoyance of that walnut, thanks for another great video and art piece.

[@MadNerdWorkshop]

Dan your work is fantastic! I am just getting into turning and your work inspired me to make a segmented bowl on my third time turning. I look forward to watching your next project.

[@letmeseeit66]

Really nice piece of work.

[@Andreas_Achleitner]

Well done! Best Wishes!

Очень здорово получилось👍👍👍

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Спасибо.

[@cosmovellucci5506]

Ottimo lavoro complimenti, sei un grande 👍👍 salutone 😊

[@robertcornelius3514]

Nice work. Looks large enough for a 300 pound person.

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

About 200.

[@donchristensen2870]

Dan, the urn is beautiful, looking for the parts to do a threaded lid, any recommendations?.

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Thanks Don. www.fromwalnuttoantlers.com has the threaded brass inserts. Please be sure to tell them I sent you.

[@robowen11]

I couldn't find these in Australia Don, and it's not economical to get them from the US because of the postage. But, I went to the local plumbing suppliers and I got a 3" brass fittings. All I had to do was turn the hexagonal part off them and I had exactly the same as shown here. Cost me around $15 I think.

[@kjttv1747]

Can only echo all the other comments Dan ...beautiful, stunning, masterpiece... What glue do you use? JT

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Thank you. I believe that was TiteBond Premium II.

[@ThePapa1947]

Very nice Dan. Peruvian walnut is beautiful. I used some for the first time in a Dizzy Vase I made and now I want to pick up some more. Really nice finish. What did you use. Fantastic job again. Gary

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Hi Gary, Myland's High Build Friction Polish

[@discardo]

I cannot find the brass inserts that was used for the lid. Can somebody help me locate them?

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

I ordered them from www.fromwalnuttoantlers.com

[@discardo]

Thank you so much, Dan.

[@mountendew]

I was wondering that very thing also!

[@JB-iu6dj]

What do you call the metal lid screw insert you used?

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

A threaded brass insert.

[@renmcl6585]

Beautiful work. What brass insert did you use. I have been looking for some just like that.

[@Lady_of_Ishpeming]

I just found your channel. This is beautiful and well done. I'm planning on making one for my sister for when it's time for her to go home. I'm really liking the segmented look. What angle are you cutting your pieces? Are there any plans for this or similar? Anything you can tell me helps. This will be my first project. P.S. I subscribed to see more of your work!

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Thank you Nicole. I use a software program called WoodturnerPro to help me with angles and to create my "cut list." If you provide me your email, which you can send to [e-mail], I can email to you that cut list, which basically provides the math, angles, etc. Take care.

[@lyndacarter5090]

A gorgeous piece of work. Oddly though, I felt incredibly sad while you were making it. Do you find that your moods reflect what you are making? Has anyone asked you to make a uniquely shaped urn? If it’s ok to ask, that is?

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Hi Lynda, thank you. I'm sorry you felt sad. I didn't intend to do that. Yes, I have a relationship with a local funeral home. But, I'm not sure, if I knew the person, if I could make the urn; you know, for a friend or family member. Just not sure about that.

[@lyndacarter5090]

Dan Livingston Makes not to worry, I guess I just keyed into the mortality of it and the ones left behind. Your art moves people, right? So, you were successful! One doesn’t control one’s emotions, but how one acts on them. Again, a very nice piece.

[@CiCis_Mom]

@@lyndacarter5090 It may have been the music as well. I felt relaxed and calm hearing it.

[@jeffwalters3735]

I really love this beautiful urn. Where do you get the gasket for the top?

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Hi Jeff, thank you for watching. I used to get those brass inserts and gaskets from Walnut to Antlers, but that gentleman passed away. I now get my inserts from Carl Jacobson. He has a KZbin channel.

[@jeffwalters3735]

@@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft Thank you

[@danfarbecker2441]

Is it easier to turn and finish a segmented item like this since you are cutting with the grain of the wood rather than against it? I am a wood working novice so please excuse me if this is a dumb question.

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Hi Dan, thanks for watching. That's a good question. Actually, I don't think that I've really ever given it any consideration. I've done hundreds of vessels, both whole-form and segmented, and I've never really noticed one being easier than the other. I have learned, however, that you never really want to use a roughing gouge on segmented turnings. It's just too much to ask from that tool. A well-sharpened 5/8" bowl gouge is far better, in my humble opinion, for roughing segmented.

[@kenpryor4440]

I would love to try to make things like that but I can't figure out the angles out to make the cuts not smart enough I guess

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Ken, you can do this! It's not really difficult. The Woodturner Pro software is very helpful.

[@jimechols6948]

Where did you get the metal parts for the urn?

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Thanks for watching. The gentleman that made these for me passed away a couple of years ago.

[@lipham]

Could you list your source for the brass ring? The link on your description does not work.

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

The gentleman who made those for me has passed away. Sorry.

[@lipham]

Thanks, I need to find a source. If you find one, please let me know.

[@alancosta5630]

Hi Dan,awesome work, I read in another post that this urn is around 200 cu inches,is that true? I have to build one for a 225 lb man and was wondering if this size would work.

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Hi Alan, the funeral home in my area tells me that you need 1 cubic inch for every pound of weight. So, for 225 lbs, you have to go up to 225 cubic inches. Yes, this urn was 200.
