Woodturning - Twins

This video has a lot more meaning than my usual videos and I did find it quite a difficult project to take on .. I was flattered to be involved in something so special, providing a final resting place for twin babies, Grace and Olivia, and hopefully did them justice with what I came up with ..
These hybrid eggs were made from the same Mallee burl and I used epoxy resin with a walnut trim and internal lid ..

We could not be more grateful for your work Andy - thank you so much for helping us during a difficult time.

[@jasonncoxx5837]

My heart is breaking for you right now. I'm a father of twin girls as well and I could never imagine the devastation of losing them. I don't know how you feel and I never will but i do know it's tragic you two parents have to go through such heartbreak. My heart and soul will think of you forever. 💙 Andy : I have so very much respect for you to help grieving parents. It shows alot of character and that's rare. Your a real gem.

[@clydebalcom8252]

Grace & Olivia's names will not be forgotten, because now their names are known by the millions who will watch this video. Their lives may have been short but they have touched the hearts of millions. 💙

[@soniamartins9472]

Verdade. Fiquei muito emocionada. Obrigada

[@lyndacarter5090]

Did not realize till the end and you were putting the names on that these were urns. I thought you were making small lights. You did a beautiful and wonderful job on these, and provided a unique resting place for two little ones. Condolences to the grieving family.

[@justincarawan-carawanco.pu1639]

Amen. And babies, too. I'm so sorry. No parent should have to bury their children.

[@heatherlauritsen7265]

Same. I thought they were lights too, and then I saw the names emerging, and I was like, 'wait... are these...? *reads description*' I almost cried. This is such a beautiful thing that he did for the family!

[@clydebalcom8252]

What an honor to be asked to do this. Even though it was difficult, you still pressed forward. You have my utmost respect.

[@marikahirschmann4115]

I'm not often speechless. Just wow, Andy. RIP baby girls😔

[@BrickhouseCraftWorks]

As some of the others have mentioned, I didn’t read the description before watching the video so I didn’t realize what you were making until you put the names on the lids. I’m not ashamed to say that I cried when it hit me exactly what you we’re making. Deepest sympathies to the family. Beautiful work Andy, as always. Seth

I've honestly never felt so sad watching a wood turning video before. That said, you've done a stellar job on a difficult request Andy

[@LynnCindy]

OMG! This was AMAZING! I don't know how you even envision the creations you come up with, but the beauty of the pieces, and the fact they were created from the same base piece of material, I believe does pay a genuine tribute to the twins you created them for. My heart goes out to ANY family who loses a child, but I can't even imagine the pain that would be felt from losing twins. Thank you for sharing such a special tribute and the magnificent work you always seem to do.
