Woodturning | Resin and Amazing Figured Burl Vase

[@deepospolita7856]

I just received this beautiful vase for my 25th Anniversary! After watching the video I told my Mikey I would love to have one of your pieces and then I am surprised with this! I love it Lewis - your craftsmanship is truly amazing - thank you so much ❤️

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you, Happy Anniversary!

Beautiful mix of resin and graining in the wood.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you Joseph, I appreciate you watching!

[@kcglide]

I think it was you that got me into turning flower vases out of green wood. I sold the heck out of them. Then I turned some bowls. Now I'm interested in resin. You the Man!

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

That is excellent! That is how the evolution goes. Sell the east ones to fund the complex. Glad you are moving some pieces!

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

Wow wow wow wow!!!!!!! It is awesome and stunningly beautiful magnificent and spectacular oh boy the burl grain and the resin the colors together oh wow!!!! Absolutely amazing.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you Kobie, that was very nice wood, made the piece really! Thanks so much for watching!

[@lyndaowen2154]

Very, very pretty! Green is my favorite color and with that Burrell it is just fantastic. I am a newbie at Woodturning and I’ve already found that. I enjoy watching you beginner videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Hey Lynda! I’m happy you are enjoying the videos! I appreciate you watching!

Thanks !

[@colinball1960]

I love watching your videos and watch them several times. I have only cast resin for pen blanks so far and used it to fill cracks in a bowl ( ongoing). I am a true novice but am learning so much from you. do keep the videos coming.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

I appreciate that Colin! Thank you for watching!

[@donaldmatthies6026]

What a gorgeous work of art - that color is stunning! So glad I found your channel.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

[@robcpwoodturner]

Truly beautiful work 😍👍👍👍

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

robcp thank you Rob

[@rosechee]

Lovely work!

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you!

[@ianedwards7749]

Awesome vase, I’m truly jealous of the wood you have. Love your work, you are giving me inspiration for my workshop.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you Ian, I actually bought a bunch of that burl, it isn’t local like most of the ones I use. I appreciate your kind words. Thanks for watching.

[@martinhoran6658]

That is awesome! Tremendous skill!

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you Martin, I appreciate it!

[@martinhoran6658]

@@TheKlondikeCraftsman can I ask if you oil the finished products, and if so, what do you use as these look bloody awesome! The reason I ask is that I recently bought an old lathe and I would like to produce something similar to what you make. I do make guitar bodies and spray them with clear nitro but I’m interested to learn how you finish your projects?

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

@@martinhoran6658 if it isn’t for food I use hampshire sheen high gloss or danish oil. For food I either use HUT wax or a salad bowl oil. What you see in this video is only Yorkshire grit regular and micro fine.

[@Lab-Rat]

Very beautiful work!

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you Jeffery, I appreciate it.

[@BlueyPastle]

Awesome work mate. Those green resin parts blend in so well. Thank you for sharing your process and thoughts. Keep on Turning. Cheers, Bluey 👍

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Bluey Pastle #Woodturning thanks Bluey, I appreciate you watching.

[@bryanjane9393]

Another really nice piece! I'm always fascinated how the colours and metallic blend in the resin and merge with the burl as the piece is being turned. Have a safe Thanksgiving Bryan.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you Bryan. Happy and safe Thanksgiving to you and yours as well. Thank you for watching.

[@dannylowe6236]

Awesome work. I just subscribed to your channel this past weekend. I turn Hybrid pens and love the look. I might try something bigger soon. thanks for the info and the great videos.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you Danny, I appreciate you watching! Thanks for the sub!

[@MarkBeckettRPT]

Awesome job as usual my friend.

Mark The Gentleman Woodturner I appreciate it Mark, thank you!

[@mikeposp]

Love it!!!

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thanks Mike, Happy Anniversary

[@pixiebedabinokwematlis3350]

What is there to say? It is gorgeous!!

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Pixie Bedabinokwe Matlis thank you, I appreciate it.

[@michaelshultz8814]

Beautiful piece of art. Really nice work. Ok dumb question time: Do you coat the inside lower portion with epoxy resin in case someone puts water in it for flowers? Just curious, not sure if that's even necessary. Thank you.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you Michael. I didn’t coat the inside and the customer knows it is not intended to have water inside. Thank you for watching!

[@PotgieterWoodturning]

I agree with robcp, this is beautiful. I also enjoy the way you make your videos maybe you can give me some pointers? :D

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you Japie! Point and shoot buddy!

[@PotgieterWoodturning]

@@TheKlondikeCraftsman LOL Thank You for the tip :D

[@Amybaumgart]

Did you pour the resin as soon as you had it mixed? or did you wait for it to heat up for color separation? Gorgeous piece!!

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

The temperature wasn’t shooting up when I poured it. I happily got more separation than I expected. Thank you for watching!

[@MrManthra]

Great! is same or similar item available to buy?

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Thank you! Sorry this was a commission so it is not available. I normally only make them as commissioned. Thank you for watching!

[@thesweetone]

You are using a lot of mica powder for the amount of resin, like ... Way too much from what I have done. Maybe it's a different brand but it seems like a waste. Yes it turned out absolutely stunning!

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

I mix my resin to the colour I like it and the colour that the customer wants. $0.50 extra powder doesn’t mean much in expensive commissioned pieces. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Nice! When hollowing did you just use handheld tools or a captive system? I'm wanting to try my hand at a hollow form soon.

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

HodgePodge WoodWorks I use all Easywood hollowing tools HodgePodge. Thanks for watching.

[@ShamWowW1]

Can i ask how much you sold the vase for?

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Hey Bullseye, I do not discuss selling prices of commissions in comments, sorry. I know this was bought for a viewer as a gift. I appreciate you watching!

[@kcglide]

What is a vase like that worth?

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

Hey, that was a commissioned piece so I don’t divulge what was paid. I will say that pieces like this are in the 300-500 range. I appreciate you watching!

[@rochellegadson8432]

What is the size of the mold, if I can ask

[@TheKlondikeCraftsman]

It is close to 4"x4"x9". Thank you for watching Rochelle!
