Woodturning - Take Me to the Ocean!!

[@JodyGage-o7k]

I know absolutely nothing about wood turning, but I find it fascinating that you can turn what most people would consider "junk" wood into works of art. I also love listening to you work through what you're going to do and then if it doesn't work out the way you thought, you just turn it into something else that looks fabulous. You are a true artist!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

13:50 I love hearing your thought process - particularly: "What am I gonna do?" "I DON'T KNOW!!!" And then you make the right call! You really got it right this time!! You made another right decision with the foot - it was too wide originally and the "bead" made it perfect!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@kenmagers2440]

I think this is one of my favorites! Designer epoxy for the win!

Definitely one of your best. Colour contrasts are magnificent as is the shape.

[@peterhobson3262]

An absolutely lovely vase. The burl and hypershifted laguna blue work extremely well together. Definitely one of your prettier pieces.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks so much!

[@BambiCales]

This would have looked great with the uv resin glow in the dark on the wood And then A light blue not that it's not beautiful on its own with the designer epoxy and hyper shift but it is as always amazing ❤❤❤

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks again!

[@cdoole1984]

Stunningly beautiful vase love the way the hypershift looks like swirling clouds

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Hi Jim, this project is a museum piece. I am so happy that you introduced me to Designer Epoxy, it is a very high quality Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Wonderful! Thank you very much!

[@starlightone6948]

A very beautiful vase❤️🇨🇦🐕

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@themeese2]

I am impressed with every single piece you do, Jim. I like most of the pieces that you do. Some of your projects I really really love. And THEN there are the ones that I am absolutely so head-over heels GAGA for that they make me want to find a magic money tree, grab handfuls of cash, shove them all in a bag, run to your shop all the way from Utah, grab the piece, hand you the bag, and RUN!! This is one of them!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍 It makes me think of a peacock feather. It is DIVINE!!!! I worked for a monument company for years and we stocked polished granite vases for our clients. I loved the graceful shape of the smallest ones we carried and even designed a few to have custom-made by our vendors. They were shaped very much like this vase. This brought back some pleasant memories of working with beautiful stone. Wow. Wow. And Wow!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Wow! Thanks so much!

[@lorasmith553]

Absolutely beautiful. I love this, especially that blue with that cherry burl.. I agree, Top 5 for sure! Thanks Jim!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks a bunch!

[@Hog-g2z]

Hi 👋 Jim , very very impressive, it looks amazing it looks beautiful, , it’s still amazing what nature does to create something, then you put your famous touch to it and finish it off, perfection, not sure if I told you, I picked up a vintage Rubio workbench for £50 a few weeks ago, Just needs a little little bit of TLC, and I picked up at the same place, a selection of woodburning chisels, Robert Sobby and Crown, 25 In total. I can’t believe it when they said the price, I said to them that I am willing to give you a lot more. I gave them the figure and they said no as we know these are going to a good home and will be well., £25 for all of them, they have even often be a jet lathe for £50, I have told him that they will get a lot more than that if they sold it on eBay, they said they didn’t want the hassle, I cannot collect it at the moment I do not have enough room in my workshop, I’m hoping in the next 2 to 3 weeks to start laying white concrete floor, which will then give me an extra 6 x 6 meter work area, Sorry, I am rabbiting on again, Very enjoyable content the outcome of your turning looks amazing , Stay safe look forward to next week, From beyond the world, 🌍 😂,

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Great score! Thanks for watching!

[@toddralston6613]

Islands in the stream. Love the colors

Not sure how you come up with ideas but you always seem to have them and we enjoy watching them come to life.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@Doxymeister]

Oh gosh, there's nothing about this piece that I don't like--the clean, classic lines are elegant, the oceanic blue with the flashes of hypershift and the lovely cherry burl! Well done, Jim, well done! Designer Epoxy

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks so much!

[@kathleendinicola9065]

Jim I love the opening to your videos. That river and snow says two things to me, one fishing and second deer hunting. Your turnings are amazing. Thank you for sharing. Jerry D.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks for watching!

[@StarAasved]

I really love how the hypershift gives the impression of waves swirling around and past the islands of wood. Beautiful, Jim.

Many thanks!

The things you are able to do with designer epoxy is something else.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

Definitely in the top 5 for sure. Like I've said before, with all of your creations they are very hard to rate! Beautiful 😍

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I really appreciate that, thanks!

[@marybeth17]

I absolutely love everything about this piece. From the color of the wood, epoxy & the over all shape. It’s simply stunning!😍 Jim, you had and achieved an idea in your mind how you wanted this piece to look & by God you did it. Wishing you & your wife a wonderful weekend.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much! Same to you!

[@clairethomas1044]

It’s gorgeous. It has such depth. I don’t think I’d get tired of looking at it.

[@flederfox]

also the glitter in the hypershift is like the sun glittering on the ocean from above! magnifique ❤

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@dwade1958]

Jim, watching you work on this piece made me think: Why did it take God seven days to create the Universe? Why not all at once? Why are planets and stars round instead of square? I realized that God is a Turner! On the Lathe of Heaven, God had, say, the Earth. He'd work on it a while, and then not like how the ice was all at one end. When Saturn was being created, he thought something more was needed and added rings. Then God got really carried away with hypershift on Jupiter and didn't have any left for Neptune or poor Pluto. I gained these insights watching you ponder while turning this vase! I like what you wound up doing to the foot as well - much nicer shape. Thanks, Jim! (from Virginia Beach - I'm already at the ocean!!)

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

[@jennyssewingroom6324]

There's a lot going on in this piece... You're not kidding. It's really neat. The burl really has a lot of cool aspects that you set off with the resin is pretty great.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@leisongivangomo4478]

12:35 - 14:00: really love the archipelagos going on! However, archipelago with the “inland sea” at 37:08 and is awesome! Nice piece Jim! 👏

Rap your light cord with hot glue to keep it away from your turning. Another beautiful piece as always. Love the profile and color of the resin. The cherry burl is stunning.

This piece is by far my favorite. Other woods are really nice, but Cherry really does it for me. This is also a beautiful shape,and the blue is lovely ❤❤❤ I think maybe the flag didn't do as well was because it was a clock, most watchers want to see what new shapes you come up with ❤

[@SpragueWoodturning]

[@dianacooper3686]

Thank you very much!

[@SugarTastic_74]

Jim you should use a hot gun or something similar to remove your glue to make it easier to remove the items off the pieces you make. You might be able to save some of it instead of having to destroy it.

In regards to the voice-over, I absolutely love it. I have watched other turners and just can't get into them. You add the personal touch, Jim. Also, a teaching touch. I am a home remodeller.
