WoodTurning - The Pine Cone Surprise

[@BensWorx]

Check out our Etsy store bensworx.etsy.com

[@jeansteele7685]

Ben, I have seen pinecones and other strange tree pods used. They make the most beautiful designs but you have to put a clear resin over it to close up the open wood. Trust me it will sparkle. 😊

[@A.Canavan]

My son and I just discovered your videos tonight! He’s just a little guy who says “the pot looks like a cool tiger and I hope that guy has a very nice day!” 🐅

[@saneminotaur]

Some of the pinecones look like roses in the finished piece. Nicole is very sensible for wanting to keep this one, it's so beautiful

[@rld0724]

Beautiful vase!! I don't blame Nicole for wanting to keep it!! Keep up the great work Ben and Nicole!!!

[@Greyhawksci]

I think this vase might be one of the most surprising final outcomes I've seen. Had no idea what to expect from turning pine cones, but the shapes and patterns and geometries are so cool. And oh my god, those colors. Like rainbow sherbet. And the blue fill in the cracks looks really good!

[@helema23]

it reminds me of the sherbet swirl lollipops I had as a kid

[@jode_ster]

The vase is absolutely STUNNING! No wonder Nicole wants to keep it!! I love how you turn the unexpected hurdles (cracks) into just a new fix-it-up adventure! Thank you for sharing your skills, Ben! 😊

[@JediMasterSap]

All your videos are worth a thumbs up broski, It's calming to hear you talk and work.

[@mikescamping]

It looks vintage. A person could find new shapes and contrast for days and days while viewing this piece. Very nice project.

[@GrandDaddyDoug]

That vase is AMAZING! The colors are beautiful, but when you add the patterns of the turned pine cones they pop! For this to be "just something to do," this turned out to be a winner! I don't blame your wife for wanting to keep that one. I don't even keep flowers, but I would start if I had that Gorgeous vase. 💯

[@kerritrouble3473]

The colors truly make the pinecones seem as though they’re gold from certain angles. Very beautiful!

[@laurenmoffatt826]

As always, your channel is my little comfort spot on the internet. :D Favourite aspect of this was how you handled the crack when it first came out of the pressure pot. Very positive response to a problem!

[@jenzwood]

I love these main channel vids where you just chat to us and go with the flow! The vase looks great. I reckon I would love to see a clean up video, all that mess !!! ❤

[@candymatek3]

Ben this is one of the best projects you've ever done. Truly gorgeous.

[@Harpocrat]

I loved the final outcome. The way the pine cones showed through *almost* made it look like a willow pattern design! Excellent!

[@LisaVornhagen]

That is so cool! I love those colors! The designs from the pinecones are so amazing, especially around the top of the vase! I wouldn't blame you at all if you kept it! It is so awesome!

[@Ipushedabutton]

The pine cones come out looking like prehistoric creatures! Great work Ben.

[@jcolyer0620]

Yep, can totally see why Nicole wants to keep it! Beautiful piece as usual!

[@johanrosberg6165]

Your videos are the highlights of the week. Both the vlog and main channel. I wish I was as crafty as you and Nicole..

[@lorenehughes]

WOW Ben! That is absolutely gorgeous!!!! So nice to see you trying different shapes... Just loved the creativity!!! 🎉❤

[@Vmshipe]

At first I didn’t think this was going to turn out that great, but the end result is just stunning! Love those patterns! Filling the cracks reminds me of the Japanese art of Kintsugi.

[@jacksmancave170]

The pastels contrast really well with the cones...which add the best patterns. Well done!

[@janetkeith2987]

I really love the inside. The way the pinecone fell into place. The outside looks fantastic, the colors you chose look great together.

[@enterprisingman]

My wife and I love to watch all your videos and we love your connection to your family ❤️

[@jeremyatkinson8179]

That turned out amazing! Won’t be surprised if Nicole keeps this one.

[@MOMMOOPY]

Wow, this vase turned out too pretty. I picture all dried flowers in browns & beige with a couple dried purple statice flowers to tie in the lovely colors. Wow. Very nice ❤❤

[@NickMoline]

Yet another gorgeous project, nice to see a vase again, it was very beautiful. I'll keep commenting in hopes that I one day win the rubix ball, I love the magnification effect of it.

[@KatieSmith8]

Wow that turned out amazing. Great job, and I wouldn't blame Nicole for wanting to keep it. ❤

[@rwisti11301962]

As always, Ben, you are the master when it comes to resin art!! Fantastic vase!! Big hugs to you and Nicole from Tennessee 😊

[@tracyhartge4219]

That is a great looking vase. I was afraid the purple was going to get lost, but it does make an appearance here and there. Great idea on using blue to fill the cracks. It makes such a great visual contrast. Great project, once again!!

[@lonimadrid]

Beautiful, stunning,amazing!!! This is one of the best pieces I think you have made. It is truly breath taking.

[@AussieFibromyalgiaWarrior]

Love the 'milk jug' vase. You nailed it with the colours 👌

[@lorijacobs7078]

Mind blown. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 I couldn’t imagine how this was going to turn out…and I’m truly amazed. As always.

[@FromMyMellin]

If Nicole enjoyed hope she kept it and is loving it, cool stuff.

[@aicirtkciub9167]

Wow very cool. I like how you fixed the crack great idea ! The pine cones look so nice, no wonder Nicole wants to keep it !!

[@ravenfaebowie]

Oh wow! It's so cute! I wasn't expecting that finish. It's really unique ❤

[@Hasmanian]

I wasn't sure about the colours at first but they give the vase a kind of neon marble look with the pinecones. Good job, Ben!

[@kymberlysteiger8125]

Oh my word! I just found your channel the other day and I’m blown away by your talent! That vase is a true work of art! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with us 🙏

[@ariadnalucila]

Loved how the colours turned out!! And you can definitely see the blue cracks!! Beautiful as always ❤

[@arlenebrooks5163]

I don't blame Nicole for liking this, it's beautiful!

[@der_kluger_gunther8391]

well after seeing it i completely understand Nicole, you should seriusly keep it. it looks fabulous, i have no words to express how cool it looks. even the color choices were spot on (the blue to fill the cracks was a good move), so to me it's a 100/10.

[@Izkavan]

Always enjoy your work, Ben! Your cheery disposition and passion for your craft are awesome, and a highlight every time!

[@Yonash1987]

The color combination came together for a great blend that fades perfectly between the milky yellow to the lovely green and such subtle undertones. The pinecones give it an alien floral vibe, just fabulous! Especially for no vision beyond "chuck on some pinecones and resin", this was a superb outcome!

[@fattdamon5342]

Didn't expect those colors to work together at first but it really turned out amazing! I have a Rubik's collection of all sorts of weird ones from around the world and I'd absolutely love to have one of your Rubik's spheres in my collection. Good luck everyone!

[@stevenkimble1]

Pine cones and resin go together beautifully. Amazing work. Hope Nichole enjoys it.

[@marcellek]

Awesome choice of colours, it came out stunning! I love the blue cracks and there is one section that reminded me of wings. I am definately a fan of this vase and the native bouquet of flowers in it looks fantastic! This might be my favourite!

[@Terriball25]

I like the vase. Pretty awesome!

[@jperry9668]

My wife would keep it for sure. That is one awesome-looking piece.

[@kathleenb.2236]

Love the vase Ben. Nicole is smart to grab this one. Nice work.

[@dollphan-nm5to]

It’s amazing what nature and resin can make. You really put it all together. Nicole deserves this work of art.

[@HDSnoopy]

Amazing! I could stare at this for hours looking at all the different shapes and patterns the pinecones made. 💪🏼😎

[@jennieraup6612]

loved the Milky finish outcome. The pinecones look incredible!

[@dalemaclaren7576]

Absolutely Stunningly Gorgeous Ben. Wowsers that is a Beautiful Vase. I hope Nicole keeps it. Thank you so kindly for sharing your wonderful talent and videos with us all. Take great care Ben, Nicole and Courtney and Beautiful doggies xoxo ❤

[@matrix626]

I think we all need to see that vase under blacklight.. Looks amazing!

[@robinpinkham9398]

They way you used the resin made it look like vintage custard glass!❤

[@vickymaddox3791]

Need to see more projects with these milky colours 😍 beautiful

[@rtist9281]

😮 I would REALLY love to see some project that Australian spring themed

[@alexandrafra]

The colours and the pattern of the pine cones looks great together. Also the shape of the vase is great!

[@sarahjohnson-e5x]

Wow! I didn't expect the pine cones to look so good after turning and the colours are amazing, well done

[@vernerkuchan7658]

Absolutely stunning piece, it turned out so much better than I expected from the color choices

[@jamieschettler8701]

I've been noticing something on ur main channel & ur vlog channel...u truly seem happier lately. I take it this means that lovely Courtney is doing much better? I keep her & ur whole family in my prayers. U guys r my FAVORITE KZbin couple ♡ Couple goals ! ! ! *hugs!*

[@catymiller2270]

I love how this turned out with the pine cones looking like roses in it. So awesome!

[@TheSilverbolt709]

My wife wasn't sure about the colors at first but ended up really liking the final result. Awesome vase man.

[@LSK77_]

Oh Ben that was magnificent to watch ❤ I love seeing Luna she is so cute bless her always reminds me of hairy maclary my kids loved those books. I think Nicole rightfully deserves to keep the vase it's as gorgeous as her soul ❤ Thanks for sharing it's so wonderful to see you turning and enjoying it again. Love to you

[@davecook7213]

Last min projects can turn into one of the most interesting ideas! Great job

[@ericbardell4778]

Great looking vase, I like the way the cracks filled with the blue. Thanks

[@mishelle6315]

Complete with cracks, this piece is an absolute stunner, Ben!

[@brexy7735]

Yet another beautiful piece!! I think Nicole deserves to keep it. I love the colors and the way the pinecones look.

[@edlerdaegrimm1595]

Thank you for the video. Very nice vase! Pine cones make a beautiful pattern.

[@aaronchernak8561]

WOW, Ben!! This turned out BEAUTIFULLY!! Truly stunning. And those colors are amazing. You have to do some Frogs like that! Thank you for making my morning.

[@ellishansen8115]

That turned out freakin amazing. I can see the crack where the blue resin got sucked in as well. I think the different sizes of pine cones made a big difference as well as the variety of colors! Well done Ben!!

[@BensWorx]

Yeah I like the way the different sized pine cones came together 👍

[@TherealMikeBriggs]

That came out with a very nice "retro" look. It reminds me of the days of the wood armed couches and flocked wallpapers.

[@piafinch7537]

The pine cones look like little roses. Very nice 😊

[@sharonebenreuter6661]

Absolutely love it, every time I watch your channels you remind me of my sister and her husband, they have the same personalities as you both

[@JonathanMorley]

That brand new vase looks like a priceless antique!

[@-jjc4]

Not only is it gorgeous it has character! ❤

[@bigkahuna6277]

Absolutely one of the best projects you have done, Awesome! Whenever I watch you channel it makes my day. Thanks

[@911nikki119]

Absolutely love how this one turned out, and to see how you fixed the crack- so cool. Keep doing you 😁

[@GuardianAngelResinCreations]

My 8 year old granddaughter thought that your vase was amazing and she loves watching all your videos

[@GalacticGoddess46]

I was hoping you would make it into a vase! Absolutely gorgeous!

[@chrispotter219]

Extraordinary! I honestly thought that this would be the first of your projects that I didn't like but when it was finished I absolutely loved this piece. I can see zebra stripes, roses, coffee beans and paua shell. You are indeed a master craftsman

[@GalacticGoddess46]

I am also loving the new illusion style egg you've done. That is amazing!

[@y2hero13]

Amazing as ever Ben, that needs to be kept for your own collection

[@deslauriersmama]

I recently crocheted my teenage daughter a hat with yarn of those same colours. Because it was variegated it looks kind of swirled, just like your vase! Absolutely beautiful!

[@hannable3871]

It's perfect. This is absolutely one of my favorite things you have made, and I've been watching for a long time now.

[@doozerbob]

Ben is the best internet dad! I learn something new every video 😊

[@ladyphoenix1073]

It reminds me of mother Earth. Beautiful piece of art you created.

[@davidclauson5256]

Great video!!! Wasn’t sure about the color in the beginning. But love vase. Pine cones never disappoint!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@debNinehouse]

I was pleasantly surprised how this turned out! So pretty 😍

[@CrystalArblaster]

I think the buz is absolutely awesome. The colors were amazing. I thought at 1 point they might blend altogether, but with the pine cones and everything it is studying. No wonders she wants to keep it. I don't blame her. I love watching you. Brighten my dayour projects are amazing the way you 2 work together. The love between you and on your work is amazing. Thank you. For all the videos and all the projects you share with us keep it up.

[@toniotoole3968]

The bouquet of Australian flowers was a lovely choice , the bottle brush , wattle and leaves are complements to the colours in the vase .

[@johnphillips5188]

Great job, I didn't think it was going to come out as good as it did. It looks really nice.

[@mel.e2675]

I wasn't sure what to expect when you started with the pinecone. Then the crack in the resin had me a bit concerned. I didn't know it could be fixed with more resin! I learned something new today! Wow!! The vase is stunning! The blend of colors with the structure of the pinecones is just amazing. Awesome idea! You guys should keep that one! Much love to you all! 😊💜

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mel, we really appreciate it 😊

[@mel.e2675]

​@@BensWorx You're welcome. 😊💜

[@jacquelinejones823]

Always a beautiful piece of art when you’re done!

[@michellesuniqueboutique3405]

Ben, the vase is incredible. Soo beautiful. I can't fault Nicole for loving it you did amazing and those colors.. Have a great one. Take care n happy creating. Keep smiling

[@likebutton5445]

Beautiful. I love the effect the different sized cones have made. Some look like raisins, some like little bugs, and I also see a little flock of birds in it 😃 I wouldn't blame you at all for wanting to keep that - maker gets first dibs 😁

[@washtherag]

This turned out really nice, has a oriental jade look about it. great job!

[@Charun1982]

Really cool! Looks like fossils in stone, but way more vibrant! Awesome work as always!

[@jamastaber6936]

I really enjoyed the extra commentary this week, it looked like you where really having fun while working

[@happyheather7428]

I love the look of this vase. I would love to see you make one with clear resin to see all the pine cones ❤❤❤

[@Tiembi01]

I enjoyed the narration explaining each step and why you were doing them!
