The piece is beautiful and I love hearing what everyone thinks a Minnesotan is supposed to sound like.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I didn’t know Minnesota was in Canada, haha. Thanks for watching

[@scottwebster8104]

I realise that it's not the result you initially hoped it would be, but man oh man, it is absolutely stunning!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Agreed! Thanks!

[@retalbtaylor370]

I just discovered you and your work and I’m very pleased. I’m a 70 yr old female in California who had done a lot of wood working with hand tools. Never sold any of my work, simply for my own use/lifestyle. Wood blows my mind, simply beautiful and burls especially turn me on. I also used to own/operate an antique store and imported furn with lots of burls from France and England. Birdseye Maple, walnut burl, curly maple, tiger oak/quartersawn and others I can’t remember now. So, I’m loving your artwork and so glad I’ve found you! Super jealous of your equipment and setup, knowledge of how to use it all! Wow, just WOW! I can’t wait to watch ALL your videos. Too bad I’m 70 and have no $$$ cause I sure would love to be making things like this! I’m going to dream about this (I hope)… I’ll be wood turning all night long….‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching!

[@retalbtaylor370]

@@SpragueWoodturning it looks like so much fun to do! Bummer being old and broke, can’t set up the shop you have, so I’ll just enjoy yours! Do you have a shop where you post things for sale?

[@johnconnor926]

Designer Epoxy. The bowl looks like it is flowing water. Very beautiful.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks

[@dianethomas5707]

I thought that it resembles the Aurora Borealis in the way the silver look swirls through the blue with hints of the other colors. And the Aurora has all different colors swirled so anything in how it mixes will be beautiful! Designer acrylics is so fascinating!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@margaretwilliams5281]

The inside of the form is faultless as far as I could see. I am breathless with sheer awe of the beautiful product you have made.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@morgancalvi6675]

I will never forget at the zoo....a peacock used to always fan to a squirrel 😂. I tried telling him he was confused...but squirrel fanning he did anyway. He did this every morning when I went to check on the goats in the petting zoo🤣.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Too funny! Thanks for watching!

[@LillyMelody01]

Absolutely beautiful its amazing to watch you do your craft ty👍🩷

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks so much 😊

[@debbiecannon8534]

Even though you didn’t get the peacock effect this is still a very beautiful piece

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Yes it is. Thanks!

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

Possibly one of my favourite pieces in your collection. Not just from a technical perspective, but the swirl in the resin gives it beautiful dynamic movement. Great job. All the best. Ray

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks for watching Ray!

I just have to tell you that I would love to own that P eacock Bowl. It is awesome! Please, don't beat yourself up over not getting the "PEACOCK" coloration you were looking for! It was incredible to watch a creative genius at work. Your client should be proud and overjoyed to receive such an incredible piece from a Craftsman such as yourself. Thank you for my viewing pleasure! I was just amazed!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Even though it wasn’t really what she wanted, she still love it. Thanks

Designer Epoxy! That is such a beautiful piece! I hope the commission likes it too. Love all your content Jim! Your tool work just astounds me. The hollow form was shining before you even touched it with sand paper.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks 😊

[@joebainter]

They never turn out the way you wanted, but they always turn out great looking! Love what you do, keep up the good work

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks

[@TXPaisano]

Your channel popped up with this vase. It is stunning! My grandfather was a wood turner back in the first half of the 1900s. I have a piece and my brother has a piece. He used different woods together and the finished items were beautiful. My faves were always the cherry because it reminded me of him…he smoked cherry tobacco in his pipe. You make me want to do this but at 65 I doubt that I would be able to build a workshop. It is nice to live vicariously though. Thanks for sharing!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much! Welcome aboard!

[@jonmartineau1004]

Stunning , just absolutely stunning !!!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Even tho the color is not what you were aiming for it is still an AWESOME piece that anyone would be proud to own. Great work, your stuff is always so beautiful.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you very much

[@traceyrice]

This ended up so cool looking! It has a couple of peacock-looking areas but not as many as I had thought it would. But it is indeed stunning! Fantastic job, Jim! 💜

[@SpragueWoodturning]

I’ll get it next time. Thanks for watching!

[@wolfgangricky]

Designer Epoxy. Very nice Hollow Form, ty for taking us along

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks for watching!

[@l.n.6386]

With this particular piece, I can just imagine cruising through the deepest parts of the many galaxies in space, and coming into view is this beautiful, living planetary object much like our own Mother Earth. One can easily visualize life forms swimming in the cool, deep, mineral rich oceanic areas. Other creatures trekking across the earthy areas, perhaps looking for their next meals. This heavenly body suspended in the vacuum of a deep, and in the outermost stretches of a Universe light-years away, is where one will find such warm, inviting peace. That's my take on this work of art my friend. Grin 😊.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Wow! I feel like I’m on the Starship Enterprise, lol. Thanks for watching!

[@RainyCloud143]

Beautiful piece, even though it didn’t turn out as intended, nevertheless it is quite stunning!! I have every confidence you’ll figure out how to get a great peacock look. I’ve become addicted to your videos and I can see you’re constantly learning and working to improve your technique and I’m so impressed with your work!

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thank you so much!

[@greenmanjnj]

I LOVE this one, the color is unbelievable. And I enjoy watching you turn “hollow forms” (I assume that’s anything from a vase to a container with lid to an urn, etc ?) although the bowls are amazing as well!! Thanks for bringing us into your workshop and your art.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Hollow forms are not vases. Vases are always open at the top and hollow forms are closed in like this piece. Thanks for watching!

[@greenmanjnj]

Oh thank you, I didn’t realize. I hear you use the term, and now I know what I’m watching for. I appreciate it!!!

[@MajClanger]

i hope the person who comissioned it loved it. It is extremely beautiful

[@SpragueWoodturning]

She did. Thanks!

[@jasonmontgomery8180]

Wow! Designer Epoxy works wonderfully.

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Thanks

[@leisongivangomo4478]

This is a beautiful hollow form! Have you ever compared the weights of the different pigments once per ounce? I’m wondering if that has anything to do with how the colours mix. I agree, it would have been awesome if the colours stayed separate

[@SpragueWoodturning]

For the most part their the same weight. Thanks for watching

[@conservativerealist]

An ounce is an ounce lol..what weighs more 100lbs.of lead or 100lbs pounds of feathers?

[@danawrigleywalkingstickand5677]

One good thing about having a tippy salad bowl, though, is that it would toss the salad for you. Great piece, Jim. I'm sure you'll crack the colour separation problem. And great advice on pricing. I just have an Etsy shop for selling my sticks so I tend to just price them by how long they took to make plus postage and materials (plus an occasional variable amount if they turn out particularly cool.)

[@SpragueWoodturning]

Pricing is always a tough one! Thanks for watching

I very much enjoyed your dialoged about how wood moved both wet and dried. Been turning 16 years now and teaching other disabled vets like me and I encourage them to watch others and watch and listen to them. I will be recommending you also. I know how expensive epoxy is and though I cannot afford it for the vets and I we all love seeing what others make from it.

[@mitzihoward6344]

Another fabulous piece. Your comments about hobbyists underselling professionals is valid for other media as well. As a jeweler, I have found lots of hobbyists selling at low prices to make just enough to pay for more supplies. This is so demoralizing and devaluing to the professionals who are trying to make a living. When customers complain that my prices are high, I politely tell them that my work is not for everyone. If you don't value your own work, no one else will either. Sadly, much of the public has become jaded by cheap imports and no longer value fine handcrafts.
