It always amazes me how you can take a piece of wood that anybody else would throw away or burn and you turn it into an absolute masterpiece. That wood is absolutely beautiful and you did a great job turning it into a vase, just stunning.

[@bespokewoodartistry1517]

As a fellow wood turner I can appreciate the tenacity, patience and skill sets you definitely possess. This project is a great display of turning end grain and having it “turn” out as amazing as it did. Well done sir!

[@MCsCreations]

Wonderful looking piece, Matt! Really beautiful work!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Thanks Gina

Yet another OMG turning from a MASTER woodturner! 😮

[@just-dl]

With that beautiful light wood tone, I think I’d have filled all the gaps with resin (cherry red or Kelly green or electric blue) and turned it similarly. Your take though is a thing of beauty! Can’t argue with that!🤗

[@MHSDankusPotatus]

Favorite piece thus far

[@trishthehomesteader9873]

Thank you Matt! 🙂 I really thought you mucked it up for a bit there! 😄 That's Stunning!🤩 Blessings! 💜

Proper lovely that. Best wood turning video I've seen in ages. Love it.

[@jimromansr9971]

One thing I have used to fill in with glues and such is a pasta maker. It’s like a caulk gun. Makes life really simpler. Very nice work as usual.

[@brianwhittier5160]

I like Hawthorn for turning. Nice peach color. Made candlestick holders and lamps from it. I fill the cracks with epoxy resin and whatever color my wife picks out. Have fun.

[@heretoserve5023]

It's amazing what A GOOD MACHINE CAN DO to any piece of wood you find laying by your fireplace! ...😂 Just joking! it's THE SKILL, THE CRAFTSMANSHIP and A touch of magic that I REALLY APPRECIATE!

That's lovely. I have an hawthorn lamp, partly bark on. I spent food money to buy it. It has pride of place in my home .

[@MattJordanWoodturning]

Sounds great!

[@VanHorn210]

Very nice 👍

[@MattJordanWoodturning]

Thank you 👍

[@duaneheadworth6275]

Very nice. I really want to start using resin but have been hesitant because of the cost commitment. I hate seeing so many beautiful pieces of wood sit there not being used because of cracks and void (burl especially) resin is such a nice remedy for that. I think I might try the PVA as a filler along with something similar as your cherry pieces. I love your designs. The shape of this vase is perfect. The skill to hollow something so deep with the precision that you do is inspirational. I hope to be able to some day. I had some hawthorn from a tree that died a while ago that was much darker( I never realized that hawthorn was also lighter in color). The bugs got to it before I did so it was a bit Swiss cheese like. Besides that it was nice to work with. Thanks for sharing!

[@MattJordanWoodturning]

Thank you too!

[@SEPK09]

Nice ,talent.. at least 90% of tree was used unlike some who turn a while peace down to the size of a pencil waste of a tree.

[@joepitt1192]

An absolute pleasure to watch in this crap crap world,.thanks

[@savage9264]

Why did the glue cause the wood to start smoking?

[@VanHorn210]

I'm pretty sure that CA glue heats up a lot when it sets. Maybe, because he was putting it onto sawdust, it was able to almost ignite?

[@MattJordanWoodturning]

Exothermic reaction, need to build it up in small layers to stop it getting too hot

[@jasonanthonywebster8859]

Just a random question on safety... The wood is turning towards you, what if it was to snag that tool you've got, could it pull your hand into it? Why doesn't the log spin the other way? Surely it would leave the mess confined below and it'll be safer?

[@harken112]

Nice piece. Was that a wood glue/dust mix as a filled or a resin mix? Thanks.

[@chrischambers5466]

Always thought hawthorne a bit plain, not anymore! Really like this one, don't know why, but i know I do, if that makes any sense 🤷‍♂

[@tonyflower6140]

really lovely - personal preference would been to have kept from yellowing the wood. Would love to have used a used a clear lacquer to finish but really beautiful all the same.

[@ElderCristhian]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@fotogfitzfoto412]

Buy some cheap disposable syringes for injecting epoxy, etc. Open out the nozzle with a drill bit if necessary.

[@TheJR1941]

If the timber splits I guess game over . So selection is key right?

[@MattJordanWoodturning]

Never going to stop some woods splitting when left as logs, even then some woods have a higher loss rate when cut

[@lindapoindexter403]

That is amazing. Looks African.

[@patrik5123]

That is really gorgeous. How long did this project take?

[@MattJordanWoodturning]

Thanks, can't remember the exact time but I normally make things over a period of a few weeks with drying and all.

[@1st_glug901]

What finish do you use for your vases? Looks great!

[@MattJordanWoodturning]

Thanks, Danish Oil normally

[@randypenney6413]

What are you using to fill the cracks in the hawthorn?

[@neilbeedham2122]

That looks great. What did you use to fix the log slices into the main piece

[@MattJordanWoodturning]

PVA and used coffee

[@neilbeedham2122]

Thanks, I will add that to my note book 😁

[@apocalypsy]

Hey man. Whats PVA?

[@meghdadgoharnia]

[@tombeyer375]

Really nice work Matt!! I always get nervous, watching someone turning a piece with voids in it, listening to the clicking noises, as one little catch could spell disaster. BE CAREFUL.

You can but I don't have any, never turned any either, its not a popular wood in the UK

Poor material for turning, punky, like hard cork.

Believe me all the tools in the world won't produce this quality of work, years of practice and learning your trade and skills are what makes this kind of beautiful art work.
