I hate waste, and I love the Way you took these beautiful waste pieces of walnut and rescued them from the fire wood pile. Good job Jim.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@mr.zbych1002]

My father was also a carpenter a long time ago, and I had such jugs and platters at home, but they never came up with the idea of ​​bonding wood and resin, and what you do is simply DELICIOUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks again!

[@gussi303]

I love your videos, I am not a wood worker or a builder of any kind. I have had a hard time sleeping after getting out of the Marine Corps. Your working process is calm and has really helped me find a mindset for sleeping. Thank you, continue to do amazing work.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Glad to help! Thanks

[@MrCstrsm]

I love that Limon Glitter and that dark wood really makes it pop.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Agreed, thanks!

[@traceyrice]

I don't blame you for taking the chance to do this one right. It is really bright and stunning! Amazing job, Jim! 💜

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@patriciamay638]

It's not a "failure" if it makes you do things the right way thereafter. It is a "learning experience".

[@SpragueWoodturning]

True, thanks 😊

[@marilynhohnstein8477]

Ditto, I have never seen any work by anyone else so beautiful. You are amazing.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@markhall1510]

Crazy how bright the yellow is!! love the combination of colour!!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@nealc5579]

When life gives you lemons...Jim's lemonade!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Yup, thanks!

[@Ambidexter143]

The second try on the platter is a winner. The lemon resin is a great contrast with the walnut. Plus we got to watch another episode of Jim vs. the casting bucket.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I gave it a whooping, haha. Thanks!

[@mandyray23]

The contrast between the wood and resin is breathtaking. Yet another beautiful piece. Thank you for showing us your work. 🙏❤️

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks for watching!

[@trevormoore4880]

Every time My phone catches your name in the notifications it wants a auto thumbs up cause it knows it will be great 👍

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@scottwebster8104]

Really glad that you were able to 'exorcise your demons' with this weeks video, and I totally agree that it would look awesome as a backlit display piece!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@frankierzucekjr]

I swear you have the best colors. I'm a huge fan of yellow, and love how it looks neon yellowish-green when the light shines through. Very cool design too

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@deborahthompson258]

Jim don’t worry about those spots. Most for us who don’t know about trees wouldn’t know the difference.😊❤

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks very much!

[@susiehatcher1269]

I'm running out of words to express just how beautiful I think your work is! I love this one! That yellow 💛💛💛

[@SpragueWoodturning]

It sure pops with color! Thanks 😊

[@PamelaPeters-jq4eb]

Those spots on the back I like because it adds character to the platter & I like the lemon glitter platter a lot.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@rebahensley5323]

Love the walnut and Yellow together. Very nice.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@robertloring6002]

Awesome results, I'm never throwing out any punky offcuts again. Your ingenuity is inspiring as allways to step out of ones' comfort zone and try new things.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

There the best ones to do casting with. Thanks

[@jacquiemouton9053]

I made a cup of tea in anticipation of your fight with the casting and was not disappointed. That wood is absolutely beautiful.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊🔨🔨🔨

[@susanholiday7347]

I like this profile very much. The light shining behind it would be gorgeous 😍

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you! 😊

[@debrachewning1311]

The pattern in the wood really pops against that yellow. Very striking!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@Ariella-mx3xq4cw6n]

I can imagine that on a table, at a dinner party. lovely

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Agreed, thanks 😊

[@michelle7377]

Stubborn bugger. Wow definitely was worth it. It's beautiful

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@lindacsmith13]

That is so beautiful. You sure did redeem yourself! I love anything lemon - the smell, the color, the taste - it gives that platter such a sunny look.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@downsouthwoodturning]

Beautiful work Mr Jim. Glad to see you didn’t let it whip you. Thanks for trying again and succeeding this time.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks for watching!

[@marycatherinelebouef-op4hf]

Lemon Glitter? This can’t be good. Well, I was doubting your choice of color until you put that polish on it! Now that is BEAUTIFUL! It looks like lightning strikes! Very nice! Bravo!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Light will always go with dark. Thank you so much!

[@Sunshine-lg8su]

This is just stunning. I think those spots actually blend in beautifully with the look of the plate. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@PNWCagey-Dub]

The contrast in this is fantastic!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Agreed, thanks 😊

It's beautiful, like kintsugi, the scars are enhanced and make the whole piece more spectacular.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Totally, thanks!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@brentmoyer2081]

I love watching your videos. Best part is getting the casting out. Lol.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

The struggle is real, lol. Thanks

[@hughj776]

The way you made the pieces fit makes it look almost like the walnut was shattered. Love that look. The spots on the back give it character. I'm off to watch the fail video :). Once again appreciate the commentary and details. Cheers.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@daniellejohnson199]

Strikingly gorgeous!!!! Wow!!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

i wouldn't have thought fluorescent yellow and walnut would work together but they sure did! it's beautiful with the backlight.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

It sure pops! Thanks

[@royholley840]

Great project! Persistence pays off. Not normally a yellow fan, but you won me over for this.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Great, thanks!

[@davidshoemaker7526]

Pretty platter Jim, I think I've watched you long enough to see a third try in the future. Live and learn,if your not learning your not living. Thank you for your hard work.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Nope, I’m done, lol. Thanks

[@charlieharris2857]

One more time please those spots would just always bug me but that yellow is so beautiful

[@simonmuschamp4582]

You know it's kinda traditional now watching you struggle with the casting bucket. That vibrant yellow perfect for highlighting the darker parts of the walnut, really nice. Great job. No Viking funeral for that platter.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Not this one, haha. Thanks

[@MindPyrate]

I am just starting out as a woodturner and am watching your videos religiously. Great to have someone like yourself sharing your skill and talent.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Great! Welcome aboard!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Don’t we all like to see people struggle, hahaha. Thanks

Another great job Jim! Great come back!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@stormchasermick439]

The two glue spots aside, which I believe have no affect on the piece whatsoever, that lemon glitter with the walnut is gorgeous. I’d like to see more of that color.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

It’s a tough color to work with. Thanks!

[@WegeWoodWorks]

Stunning piece Jim! I'm much the same in letting failed things eat at me until I re-do it and get it right! Fail really only means first attempt in learning ;)

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@darrenstricker7369]

Loved this try at the lemon platet.i think it turned out great. The glue spots makes it unique. Great job.
