[@krisreynolds6171]

Black one was awesome

[@ewanp]

I thought I was going to choose the black sphere but the waste paper in the clear one looks great. So clear one for me. That a lot of waste epoxy when turning!

[@jamesdurwoodchance]

What got you interested into wood/epoxy turning?

[@DeaconXPS]

These are amazing! Have you considered making a custom bocce ball set?

[@phoebedavies4383]

I like the clear one but it was not really clear, I loved the way the colours were showing up and how some of the paper rolls were spreading out and making a pattern. An idea might be to do colours in the rolls and real clear around them that might be interesting, which ever way it's still fun to see how they turn out.❤

[@rbuschy]

Clear gets my vote - if you do it again consider keeping resin inside the tubes transparent as well. I think more/smaller tubes with transparent internal resin would be very interesting

[@baddawg3380]

I was thinking the same thing, maybe just the clear resin on the whole thing. I think adding the shavings and the color resin just makes it to busy. But that's just me.

[@amp69e]

The clear one gets my vote.

[@bjrn-oskarrnning2740]

Or use clear acrylic rods or something for ease of rolling and to keep them perfectly circular :)

[@donnaboyle669]

I’m with you, definitely clear.

[@coffeezombie6032]

Ooh I like the idea of many smaller tubes!

[@louisgridleywu7075]

Both look amazing, almost like TMNT masks. Well done Ben and Nicole

[@marialeotta2973]

I came here to say that exact thing re: TMNT masks! 😂

[@Merennulli]

I was thinking the same, heh.

[@bex6767]

Same

[@aprilnewcastle]

Came here to say this too😂

[@bign8609]

I was thinking that as well. If he was to do it again he could use colours that would represent it and make a TMNT themed one 😊

[@JemHadar666]

For me, the black one is the nicest. Also, the fact that there are light swirls in the black, adds to the coolness. Nice work Ben!

[@candymatek3]

We ❤❤❤❤ the clear one, so much more interesting. Love seeing Nicole helping you.

[@GirlOnFire1990]

I honestly thought the clear was going to be my favorite, but when you showed the black one, it was absolutely stunning! You are an amazing craftsman, Ben! Well done!!

[@shannonreynolds8182]

My favorite is the black one. I absolutely LOVE watching your videos and so does my 6 year old daughter who's autistic. We LOVE your work and your videos are SOOOO relaxing!!!!

[@atacstringer8573]

That black one is absolutely beautiful mesmerizing

[@Lisa-lb7de]

All your projects are great. Usually I like the black resin better but this time clear is the winner!

[@fattdamon5342]

Dag, they both look so cool. I like the black because of how simple and clean it is, but the clear is wild. Nicely done!

[@kristajones7202]

Black resin is my favorite of this batch! I'd love to see clear resin with no add-ins, but paring down the outside of the tubes first show more colors. That way when you look into the sphere, you see more texture and dimension.

[@texanasimmons1761]

My vote for favourite is the clear one. It has more colour I think, the little bits add to its character, I think. Thanks, Ben!❤

[@bevholdsworth5924]

Black gets my vote. When you set it down it looked all the world like a laughing duck!!! Both are amazing.

[@kraiggoodwin3413]

The spheres look amazing!! You wouldn't think something so cool started out as simple sheets of paper!!

[@ellishansen8115]

Another 2 masterpieces. I like the clear one better because of all the extra added color. It reminds me a bit of a kaleidoscope. The black is also very striking. Great work Ben, and Ben's assistant (Nicole)!!

[@UnveiledRacer48]

I love the clear one! The shavings inside made it more interesting.

[@UnbirthdayHatter]

For sure the black one is my favorite, the clear is super facinating but the black one has such a stark contrast I love it.

[@dianamcdonald4964]

Both spheres are fantastic! The black sphere may be interesting with the center’s colored. The clear sphere has my vote.

[@jamesradney5560]

Wow! Both turned out amazing no pun intended lol! I love how the clear one came out with the tubes filled with the color, but honestly that black one is hands down my favorite one, just the way the black made all the colors pop is is just beautiful! Amazing work as always and I can't wait to see what you make next!

[@JB3779MC]

The black one is my favorite. It looks like a really cool 8-ball in pool.

[@ralo4304]

I really thought I'd like the clear better, but black gets my vote. I love the swirls and of course the blue and orange together ❤

[@synicyst9925]

Your work is amazing and inspirational. I thought adding the bits to the clear one would make it too busy, but it turned into a lovely bright cheerful object.

[@lindahobbs5545]

Those are amazing! They are both cool, but I like the clear one best. You amaze me with your ideas!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Linda 😊

[@GalacticGoddess46]

Black just slightly edges out clear for me on this one Been. The juxtaposition of the cooked tunes against the black is just stunning. The clear is also beautiful with such depth of colour. This was a brilliant idea!

[@douglaswinze699]

I enjoy your videos especially when you have Nicole help you on your projects

[@SD-eh9tg]

Amazing as always. Thank you for sharing all the hard work you put in with us. I hope you, Nicole and family have a great Christmas and I can't wait to see what projects you do next year.

[@saikoutheguardian]

Okay, I love the look of the layers towards where the middle of the tubes shows! It looks like someone just sketched a version of peacock feathers. Black looks crisp, neat, and relatively uniform. Clear, on the other hand, gets my vote. It's colorful, it's wild, AND you get that nice solid-colored resin in different colors on the interior of each tube that also looks great on black, but is more pronounced since the rest of the resin is clear! Both are absolutely gorgeous.

[@jenniferwestphal-leath7866]

I LOVE the clear one! It’s so festive! I would love to see a sphere with just the shavings in clear. I bet that would look amazing!

[@mintycactus1152]

Both are beautiful imo but the black one is my choice! Wonderful pieces of art!

[@tiffanyblunt21]

I love the clear sphere!! With all the shavings in it, it looks like all the eyes of the galaxy are watching you. Very cool indeed!!

[@jeffmoore78]

Black all the way. That thing is gorgeous.

[@nairocamilo]

You weren't kidding with açç the promotion through out the week! So satisfying to watch

[@Danny.._]

they both look really good, but the clear with the shavings and the colorfully filled centers is really something special

[@imrevcritter]

Really awesome!! The black is very cool, but the clear is the winner for me!!

[@VlogAllAboutIt]

OMG! I absolutely 💯 love ❤️ the clear one! 😍

[@julie-annhenderson3591]

Its the black one all the way for me! 😍 The endless void gives it an elegance and mystery that it just mesmerizing. ANOTHER amazing vidso Ben, thank you. Your videos are what keeps me going through the week and gives me reason to wake up saturday morning. 💙💜💛💚💙❤

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Julie-Ann 😊

[@adamneko]

Between the two spheres, the clear one is far more colorful and I just love how the colors turned out with the chips in it.

[@lynn7049]

I love the clear one, but I especially love the paper chunks in the clear areas.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Lynn 😊

[@Cronin149]

My favourite is the clear one. Adding the scraps was genius.

[@melissamartwick4363]

My daughter and I love the black one! Keep up the good work!

[@VickiAndersonwoodturning]

Black one get my vote. Both are really cool.

[@Mu-podcast]

They're both beautiful. Sometimes they look like masks, and other times they look like an artist rendition of Mothra's wings. That makes me smile.

[@bamereg]

Wow, they're beautiful! I genuinely like both. The black one is elegant and the colours really pop while the clear sphere looks so festive with the colourful shavings. What I like in both of them is that you can see how the paper was rolled up. Great job Ben!

[@_goatlady_]

I would be more than happy with either one - they are both beautiful.

[@p-geluk]

The contrast with the black resin is awesome.

[@mrsteadog1313]

They're both beauties... but the luster in the black makes me happiest. 😂

[@user-dp2xg4nx7s]

The clear has the most happening for me. Love the way all the colors just seem to pop. Great job

[@jennay1122]

The clear one is my favorite, just because of the colorful little shavings in it. But the glittery swirl in the black is top notch

[@allsupergirl]

I love the clear. All those little color bits just bring a huge smile to my face. 10/ 10

[@BlackCat_2]

Clear is beautifully stunning but I ❤ the black one the most. Heidi

[@lauramacdonald158]

The black one is my favorite but I absolutely love them both. Wonderful use of paper. :)

[@amygamez1791]

Wow, both are really cool! I thought I was going to like the clear one best, but I actually really like the black one. It's so clear, and the colors just pop.

[@capodo]

If I had millions... I'd be broke because I'd buy everything you make. I'm happy to own several pieces already, I must say! Black is my favorite color so that's my sphere choice!

[@Bambi122701]

The black one is amazing! I love how all the different layers show through so well.

[@I-Am-Blue]

I prefer the clear dragon egg with the colored speckles in it! 🐉✨🥚 It adds such a vibrant and appealing look to the egg.

[@Ms.Cats-if.you.please]

The black one is cool, but the clear is awesome!! Clear gets my vote is the best one! ♥️♥️♥️

[@birgittavanderschans2364]

They both turned out awesome. But my vote is for the black one. I love how the colors pop😊

[@belindamccook8427]

Watching your work gives me a peaceful feeling.

[@waynewood6317]

Clear one gets my vote. Both are amazing but clear one is over the top. Great work.

[@dragonrage3398]

The clear is awesome. Seeing all the little shavings in there adds a whole new dimension to it. Great job as always.

[@beonder13]

Both are really interesting, but that clear one is absolutely stunning.

[@robjchristopher]

The black definitely gets my vote - I prefer the cleaner, minimalist look. Having said that, they are both amazing!

[@Leena79]

Both are amazing, but for me, the clear is the winner - just because it's such an explosion of colour.

[@MrMikeyt65]

I honestly can't choose,but since I must I'll go with clear In my humble opinion it's much more vivid and bright. Great job as always Ben.

[@TheBeerBox80]

I think they're both pretty great it's a tough call but I think I like the black one just a little bit more

[@sandraatkinson8855]

They both are absolutely Beautiful. The black one with it's clean lines is amazing, but the Clear one with the madness of color is just over the moon for me. So the clear one is my favorite! Great job on these spheres Ben!

[@Majesticwolfie]

Oh Ben those are awesome! I love how the black one looks like mask with eyes! 😲 the clear reminds me of a confetti snow globe! If I had to pick my favorite one….hmmm 🤔🤔 it be the confetti bomb snow globe one! I love the colors and confetti look

[@danduntz2539]

Black was my favorite, but then the clear one was displayed and it’s phenomenal! It just has that extra something, that elevates it. Very nice project!

[@tinytim9507]

They’re both awesome in their own way but the black one is my favorite.

[@carlyb09]

My vote goes to the black one. The colours of the paper pop so much more.

[@jaspergoesrawrr]

Definitely the clear. The rainbow shavings look great!

[@LadyRoseow]

The colored one is by far my favorite , so many tiny things to look at , I could get lost looking at it for hours.

[@kohncreations7342]

Clear for sure!!! My hubby loves the dragon egg I bought for him for Father’s Day. Can’t wait to get more!

[@deliriousdemons0119]

Gotta say the clear one is my fav, the added lil specks is just amazing

[@oddaudio6646]

Both looks great, but there's something about the contrast in the black one that makes it my favorite!

[@ChrisDubya311]

This is 100% two grand slam home runs! The black is amazing but if I had to choose one I'd go with the clear for sure!

[@debrajol3585]

Black for me. Gorgeous.. love how the ends got taken down until it almost met in the middle. Crazy how it works. Thanks for sharing 🌹

[@crashcopter6000]

Absolutely hands down the clear one. Beautiful Ben! Amazing how the leftover shavings come to life.

[@firefoxx41]

The black one has my vote, it looks fantastic

[@madeleinemuller1445]

They are both beautiful! I like the way the paper got a little bit “fringy” in the clear one. The clear one gets my vote 👍🏼

[@katrinthorsdottir7514]

Both are beautiful, but I gotta say the clear one is by far my favorite. I would love to see a bowling ball like that… would be so cool!

[@Wyrmgirl75]

Clear one for the win! You can see more of the layers of paper, especially on the innermost coil where the ends of the paper splay out. The radials look so cool!

[@steveaw5895]

I like the clear sparkling one. It’s more cheery. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@Grouchy_Hermit]

The Black one is cool but the rainbow one is wild. Rainbow for me. Great job.

[@natashaburgess9933]

The clear is pretty and gives off cheerful energetic energy.

[@rickachay25]

Dark is definitely my favourite. Looks like a giant marble.

[@QueenQuill]

Both spheres are beautiful, but I particularly appreciate the funky colors and patterns of the clear sphere!

[@TheRonaldovz]

The spheres are amazing, the clear one getsmy vote, it almost reminds me of what it looked like when you held a marble to your eye and looked into the light

[@marialeotta2973]

I'm definitely team black sphere, no contest! They look so satisfying to hold!

[@jamesrbrink9645]

They’re both gorgeous. However, the clear one is absolutely stunning! Great job!

[@jonna-licatrini1164]

I will admit when I read the title. I had no idea what micarta was. I watched it because I never miss an episode from you. Seeing the sphere the mathgeek and me loves the infinity sign. The way the tubes transformed into that blew my mind.

[@ArthurGostick]

The black one is cool but the clear one is absolutely wild!

[@frankfowler8295]

I like the black better. The colors really pop with the black. Nice job Ben.

[@thecrystalcrow]

I honestly can't decide, they're both GORGEOUS! I could stare at either one all day.

[@SuicideNeil]

With the spare cylinder, fill the inside with resin, mount it to a nice wooden base, then turn it on the lathe to make an ornate lampshade base & mount a fancy LED bulb on the top via a DIY lamp kit.

[@Anita-Ball]

They are both amazing! My vote is for the black one.

[@pat5043]

They both are totally awesome but I do have to say the clear one gets my vote. I think I would love to see a blue and white one. Sssooo fantastic !!!!

[@amybaker5241]

That black one looks cool, love this idea.

[@karacoop]

That’s a tough choice! They’re both really cool and have really awesome details about them. As much as I love the way the resin scraps turned out in the clear resin I think black gets my vote. I like how the colors pop against the black! Thanks for sharing another amazing video with us Ben!

[@emilbarberena9296]

I felt like the black one would look awesome at first, but then seeing the clear one, no doubt the clear one is the winner
