Woodturning - The dreaded project what took me over a year to finish

Introducing my breathtaking Blue Epoxy Resin and Australian Mallee Burl Urn, a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and elegance. The unique combination of these elements results in a one-of-a-kind urn that exudes both beauty and sophistication. I meticulously sand each surface to 3000 grit, ensuring smoothness that is unparalleled. Total of 7.5kg or 16.5lbs of epoxy resin was poured in a single go.
To ensure a perfect fit and add a touch of luxury, I have incorporated a brass threaded insert for the lid. This not only guarantees a secure closure but also enhances the overall premium look and feel of the urn.
To protect its beauty for years to come, we apply several layers of clear gloss lacquer. This finishing touch not only adds depth but also provides durability while enhancing the natural luster of the wood and resin.

Thank you so much David for your thoughts, artistic visions and putting up with me for a year. You have produced a magnificent urn for me one beyond what I had visioned. It truly has been a pleasure working with you.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 🙂 Much appreciated! It was an honour you trusted me to make this special project. Wish you many many more years to observe the piece from the outside 😄

[@angelamartin7535]

Such a beautiful custom piece of work for Carl to enjoy while he’s here on earth. When god’s calling for his child to come home he will have a special place for all his family to enjoy being around!🥲

[@jlathem56]

That's a beautiful work of art. Carl would be so appreciative!

[@patricandsandrawaters6482]

Hey David. Just found your channel. I understand the pain you were in dreading this project. I've been dreading doing something special for my dad's ashes for almost 3 years now. Seeing you make this, gave me a great starting point and the fire lit under my backside to get started. Thanks and my condolences

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@Skye10313]

I'm sure you will make your father proud!

I'm at a complete loss of words! 🤯 I have never seen anything so stunning! 🥹 The amount of time, blood, sweat, tears & love you put into this piece is unparalleled! I saw Mr. Carl's response and I can tell how pleased he is. As he should be! 😊 I know I'd be proud to have my ashes displayed in a work of art! 😊 You should be very proud of yourself Dave. 😊 The piece is stunning! 💙 Bravo! 👏

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 🙂 Certainly one of my proudest projects to date. The complexity, size, materials and achieving so close to what Carl wanted and envisioned in his head makes it to the top even on my own ranking.

"Oh, what a pretty vase. Wonder why it took over a year to finish, though...." * sees ending * "...Oh. Oh my God. That's why. That's not a vase...that's an urn." I'm sorry for your loss, and I think that this Carl would enjoy knowing his ashes lie in a beautiful work of art like this.

Very Stunning Urn. Hope everyone appreciates your efforts and especially the cost of materials for this. Mallee burl and resin prices are through the roof and you certainly have used a good portion in your project. Super Job on this and great engineering efforts in your layout and construction.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 🙂 Much appreciated!

[@angr3819]

@@DavidsWoodturning Have you ever thought using lace, perhaps from disused dresses from your wife or someone? Or other fabrics? Perhaps some foodstuffs such as dried lentils, various coloured peas and beans? Perhaps sand or different coloured sands in clear resin? Shredded used paper (not small cross cross shredded but longer lengths bundled together) for a different textured look? Only ideas which you might or might not like. Best wishes.

Just. Gorgeous.

[@BroodykayBroodyfour]

Very beautiful and thoughtful. My heart goes out to you the difficulty of this project lay not with the turning itself (though skill there is). I set out to turn my fathers but my step mother requested a more obelisk form and I made her 1 large one and mini ones for the kids.....she loved them but they were hard to work on.....again my thoughts go to you.

So why did it take a year to make?? It is very beautiful and you did an excellent job making and turning it!!!! I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 😀 Firstly, I was always against making an urn. Just because what they are for and I did not feel it connects well with me and what I do. But Carl described his idea to the project so well and looking at his passion and desire about the urn made me want to do it. I knew it will be challenge from the size, brass threading, white swirls etc. So I kept planning, testing and waiting for some other stuff and time flew by.
