Woodturning: Volcanic Decay!

[@danawrigleywalkingstickand5677]

The first piece that I turned which didn't go back into the firewood pile was a cherry burl. I gave it to my grandmother for her birthday that year. She just sat there turning it in her hands, looking at it. When she finished with presents from the rest of the gang, she went back to my bowl. Except for during big family holiday meals, it sat in the center of her kitchen table until the day she died. Really brought me back 20 years. Superb work, as always, David.

[@DavidAdamsen]

Wow, thank you Dana and thanks for sharing that! That is so special! ✌️

[@dia4387]

😢so heartfelt ❤️

[@snowysnowyriver]

That beautiful beyond words. The kind of treasured thing that one hands down through the generations as an heirloom. 💖

[@DeannaAKADeanna]

I can appreciate your typically purist approach to the wood, but you took a rotted piece with potential and turned it into a thing of value and beauty. Nice!

[@ofgreyhairwaifu4089]

It isn't rotted tho, it's just eaten through I think. Wouldn't a rotted piece be wet throughout and pretty much unworkable?

[@DeannaAKADeanna]

@@ofgreyhairwaifu4089 Wet rot can dry or a pest or microbe can destroy it. Even then, it needs the resin to make it workable. Pretty cool stuff.

[@daniellejohnson199]

As always, mesmerized and beyond impressed with your immense talent!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@lindaburt6518]

There are those who are wood turners and then there is you ... a true artist. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@wiebl5266]

i dont know how many times I've "Wow!" really 10-15 times... truly an artist... sublime!

[@nomadine85]

That resin colour added to the amber warmth of the wood and complimented the texture of the wood with its swirls so beautifully. And the music was wonderful. This video made me happy.

[@solangehinault6390]

Wow! David, this first try with resin is a master stroke! It magnifies the black cherry burl and the result is pure beauty! Persevere, your creativity can create wonders! Thanks for sharing! 👍😉

[@dazey2002]

Your video compositions are almost as beautiful as your wood creations! You are a true fine artist!

[@TomeAlone]

This may have changed my life. Thank you.

[@kmsichmeller]

I am, by no means, a woodworker but, I have binged so many of your videos. It's amazing to watch you take something beautiful from nature and then use your own skills and creativity to make it even more beautiful.

[@lisagreen7897]

I have no words. That's beautiful!

[@jtsparks4798]

I don't know why, but I got tears in my eyes at the finished piece. It's otherworldly, beautiful. And then, I noticed at the end that the name on your machine is "JET", which are my initials. I don't know why I feel so emotional about this gorgeous piece of art, but it's amazing.

[@kentwinterton2672]

Watching your video is much more than just passing time. It is an experience with zen like qualities. Much enjoyed. And the hollow form is beautiful.

[@DavidAdamsen]

Thanks very much, Kent!

[@StaceyMayer]

I loved watching this and listening to the marvelous music you choose. Thank you.

[@neilfranklin5644]

Totally agree I was thinking of ballerinas dancing,

[@19TheFallen]

It never ceases to make me smile, seeing the people on channels like this taking what many would deem to be a seemingly worthless or unusable piece of scrap wood and turn it (accidental pun!) into a beautiful piece of art! You all see the potential beauty hiding within them!

[@hagenhoffmann9985]

In this case wood seems better than gold. Incredible.

[@a.j.nunnaurbiz6535]

Just gorgeous. And extremely meditative to watch. Thank you for filming and posting this!

[@junepeterson4078]

I love that you use color and music, its quiet relaxing and beautiful!

[@jonperley7304]

WOW!!! As a Turner I just did a winged bowl of the sister to that cherry burl! But what you did to yours is absolutely beautiful! Love your videos so relaxing after a stressful day!👍

[@vivianepilou2211]

Wow, this is a travel in beauty, i wouldn’t miss one second of the birth of this masterpiece. Showing us the region you live makes me understand how inspiration comes to you. Seeing your work tells us so much about your personality and no doubt, it is a great one. Thanks for these magical moments.

My husband loves a woodworking but this is above and beyond beautiful

[@peggycomer1]

Most beautiful piece I have seen so far.

[@kathleenrobertson5182]

It never ceases to amaze me that you can take something so beat up, and make something exquisite from it.

[@DavidAdamsen]

Thank you Kathleen. It is a labor of love!

[@ar4122]

A real thing of beauty.

[@charlesball8872]

Another exquisitely beautiful piece! Museum worthy for sure! I make sure not to miss your videos, for even your occasional fail is high quality and is still a valuable learning experience! Keep them coming , Sir David, as it is truly your talent!! You

[@shirleywashington4969]

Your finished piece goes beyond just a work of art,your imagination and skill turn what was a living thing destined to decay into an enhanced natural object to be admired,and treasured…forever….

[@Анд-с4н]

Склоняю голову перед такими Мастерами!!! Браво!!!

[@trevormoore4880]

All i see and hear on your videos are beyond belief 👌

[@figmo397]

I'm now just watching this after binge-watching a bunch of your other hybrid projects. This was a great indicator of wonderful things to come!

[@DavidAdamsen]

Thank you! I really appreciate that!

[@gerryjohnson294]

Absolutely stunning!

[@randyd.7076]

What a beautiful piece! I'm from Maine and see so many pieces of burl while out in the woods. Now it's fantastic to see it come back to life.

[@judethboard8454]

The music and the sheer beauty of your creation certainly soothed my soul and I thank you for that.

[@rondacker]

I love the addition of the resin. Not typically a fan, but this example is beautifully executed. Wonderful job!

[@atmorgan7628]

So many people use too bright of colors when using resin, this was as perfect as it can get. Beautiful!

[@MaimsyCreates]

David, again! I say this every time but the way you are able to hold my attention start to finish is astounding. That’s not an easy thing to do. 🙃 I just can’t get enough of your editing. I think this piece is my favorite. I love the color choice in the resin work. Thank you for going with something so complimentary. I love contrast as much as the next person but this was fresh for my eyes. In the future I would LOVE to see a rich deep green used, along with a metallic such as gold, bronze, copper as those are hues that really speak to me. Beautiful work, as always. Also, I love watching your channel grow, so proud of you!

[@DavidAdamsen]

Thank you so much, Amy! I appreciate that! And you are in luck! I was planning to use gold and greens to make a leafy router carving in a plane log. Hopefully one of these days!

[@paulsheffield4729]

I completely agree. This is my favorite as well. The colors, the music was all so tranquil. I could watch this a hundred times.

[@laaaazzzii]

Wonderful... love the blend of cherry (in fairly bad condition) that is rescued with resin, and especially how the resin complements it. Hybrid projects are fascinating as they allow damaged wood and "missing" parts to be filled in. Very nice play of colors! Keep up the wonderful work...

[@mamm7223]

If I had seen that burl, my thought would have been "nice piece of firewood". You, however, saw beyond that and transformed it into a magnificent work of art. You never fail to amaze and entertain me...I am addicted to your videos now. Thank you, David!

[@kimr5841]

Everytime you went into slow motion, I held my breath. That is historically where turners show a disaster happen. Hard to believe this is your first foray into resin casting. Stunning piece.

[@РадикНасыров-з8р]

Отличная работа, хорошее видеоряд, и хорошо подобранная музыка. 👍👍👍Однозначно!

[@dia4387]

Probably my favorite by far

[@cynthiacollett6233]

Oh my gosh…who does your videography? It, and the music you use, are beyond incredible. You’re the finest wood turning artisan I’ve ever seen…absolutely beautiful designs! Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us who can only dream of creating the works of art that you do!

[@cs3742]

Thank you for the music, like your artistry...so beautiful.

[@davidarundel6187]

The Japanese have a word, for what your eye catches, in "ugly" pieces of wood. The Beauty, which you created out of the burl, is, I think, worthy of being in a museum. Thankyou, David. Namaste 🙏

[@DavidAdamsen]

Thank you so much, David!

ASMR To the max! I appreciate, and respect our work! I've always wanted to learn his craft.

[@ericharrington2339]

That's one of my favorite art pieces of all time, out of all the turners out there ‼️ THANK YOU for sharing your videos and your passionate, amazing skills for the world to watch and enjoy ‼️ Thanks again ‼️

[@DavidAdamsen]

Thanks Eric! ✌️

[@thierrysauveur]

David je regarde toutes vos vidéos depuis longtemps, je trouve ça relaxant de voir évoluer une pièce de bois en une oeuvre d'art. Si seulement je pouvais m'en procurer une comme celle-ci avec un couvercle pour le repos éternel de mon père, cela me ferait énormément plaisir ainsi qu'à ma famille. Merci encore pour cette vidéo, vous êtes un vrai artiste.

[@elfowl6873]

Absolutely beautiful!!! When I first saw the piece, I had little hope for a good outcome. Thank you for sharing, David.

[@DavidAdamsen]

That is the most beautiful piece of woodturning Ive seen yet. It is simply stunning! Thank you for sharing this film with us.

David, this color combination is perfection! Can't believe this was your first time using epoxy resin, such a great result!

[@josephcraft2845]

Wow. That’s one of the top three prettiest pieces I’ve seen so far. Beautiful, great job.

[@davidamos4847]

Great turning. The music was peaceful and relaxing fun to watch Nice job.

[@jiraakarasena6031]

Your choices are priceless! Shape, shade and sound…. I’m in love with this jar!

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi David, That is amazing. 99 people out of a 100 would have put that piece of wood in the fire bucket. I'm so glad you are one of the 1's that didn't. I have seen other turners who have made hundreds of resin hybrid bowls. This one beats every other one I have seen and it's your first piece. I'm really looking forward to what else you have in store for us all. Immense congratulations on this one David. Take care. cheers, Huw

[@DavidAdamsen]

Wow, thank you so much, Huw! It was a lot of fun to do, but I want to improve my resin finishing skills. I might be too picky but those microscratches really annoy me lol... Cheers and best wishes!

[@hendrikjbboss9973]

Heart stoppingly beautiful. You did a great job and don't need a buffing system. I like the way you used the different coloured (colored) resin on a alternate basis as this made the colours more natural. Again I say "Excellent" piece.

[@sharonyoung8251]

What a beautiful piece. You are a true artist. Do you see a piece of wood and know what it will look like or does it develop as you work on the piece??? Thanks. Watching you work is like magic.

Congratulations on your first resin and wood turning. Looks amazing.

[@robertjohansson1707]

Truly a piece of art, the wood and resin go really well together.

[@Georgia-WRBNS]

I honestly have tears right now! I've never seen something as Stunning and Gorgeous this is! It almost looks just like spun or blown glass! Like a Beautiful piece of Amber! And OH MY GOODNESS! The colors you chose and how they complimented the wood and each other is a Stunning Perfection!🥰🥰🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤💞💓❤🧡💛🤎❤

[@ThePapa1947]

Very volcanic looking David. Perfect place to use resin and it looks fantastic. The opening almost looks to hot to hang on to. Very nice work, Gary

[@DavidAdamsen]

Cheers, Gary! I didn't realize the colors would come out like that! Happy accidents! Best to you, my friend!

[@stephankraft347]

There is something easing and therapeutique in your videos. Thank you very much!

[@DavidAdamsen]

Cheers! I appreciate that!

[@ofrank6551]

That is absolutely beautiful!!! I have a Black Cherry burl that is in about the same shape yours was in. It’s been sitting on my bench for a long time. Every day I stare at it trying to figure out what to do with it. I think you just answered that’s question. Thank you!

[@DavidAdamsen]

Nice! Cherry burl is gorgeous! Happy turning!

[@neilchisholm8376]

Great shape, wonderful wood and great artistry! The colour mix of the epoxy with the black cherry was perfect bringing out the colours of the wood.

I love this piece so much. You did an incredible job.

[@beebob1279]

Wow, that's nice. When I saw the start of the turning I thought it was going to be ugly. But as I watched the shaped showed and it's really nice. I've harvested two burls this summer and waiting for them to dry. One is black cherry and the other is maple. I've never turned a burl and have to take my time. The maple has ant holes or something in it which might added character to it. I'm hoping not to have to use resin but that will be something new too. Thanks for the video.
