[@davidmorgan7522]

Beautiful Mike! Loads of character in that piece! Take care, Dave

[@markbaldwin975]

Great work Mike. Am I the only one who thinks it looked good with a base before you cut it off?

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Mark ... you are not alone ... decided no base on this one.

[@timmills5873]

Beautiful piece of work - I love the shape and the voids. It looked better to me before the base was parted away!

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Tom ... I did consider a base ... but decided against it in the end.

[@jerrydempsey3490]

Now that is scary thin. Well done Mike.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Jerry.

[@barrycook4690]

[@tomswisher8662]

Very nice piece. How did you sand the inside with the voids??

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Tom. I power sanded the inside with an extension on the drill, plus quite a bit of hand sanding too and kept the lathe stationary.

[@WoodWizardrybyColin]

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Mike, Gorgeous. The Danish Oil really does make a fantastic finish. That didn't look half as scary as the pictures you posted. LOL. Brilliant work Mike as ever. Cheers, Huw and take care.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Huw always great to hear from you mate. Take care and stay safe.

[@Bramsshed1913]

A beautiful looking hollow form mate and those voids add that extra character . Cracking job Mike, love it Cheers, Bram

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Bram. Take care mate.

[@tb14236]

Very nice piece with lovely figure as Yew usually does. Glad to see you put out a regular video, I know it is probably just me but I can not sit through one of the live You Tubes. For me it is the worse thing ever but I know other people love them, sorry to say I didn't watch any of yours even though I signed on and tried. It not just you and I commend you for the effort many people were needing a distraction during this time of shall I say unrest. As always love your video keep them coming.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Tom ... the thing is, on a selfish note, I really enjoy the real time interaction, but appreciate it's not for everyone. I will most probably do live every other week and the same with a regular type video. Thanks for watching.

[@missteeturns]

That looks fantastic Mike. I'd get very nervous about turning wood with that many voids 🙂

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks T ... keeps you on your toes that's for sure 🙂

[@williamellis8993]

Looks great, Mike. I'm glad you didn't try to fill those voids with resin. It's so much better natural. Take care. Bill

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you William glad you agreed with the natural look.

[@ronbeckhaus7326]

Beautiful piece, Mike, simply stunning figure.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Ron .. the wood is definitely the star of the show 🙂

[@lenny5355]

Damn seems I missed another one but as usual Excellent video and Vase Mike!

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Lenny.

[@cobberpete1]

Ditto comments below. A beautiful piece

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you very much Peter.

[@danielemanuele5827]

Wonderful piece Mike. When you fill cracks with coffee grounds do you use fresh or used grounds? Thank you!

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Daniel. I mainly use instant coffee granuals and instant coffee powder but used fresh coffee grinds dried out work OK as well.

[@danielemanuele5827]

Mike Waldt thank you!

[@BBTurning]

Really nice mate, the form is spot on . Not an easy turn by any means. Regards Shay.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Shay ... it wasn't without its moments 😉

[@dougrobins8291]

Very nice, Mike. I'm glad to see a shorter video, as anything longer than 30 minutes just won't keep me watching.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Doug.

[@dtork47]

Turned out really nice Mike. All the oil because it was so dry? Do you ever use the Hampshire sheen wax on top of the well cured oil? Thanks and cheers from MT.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you. I chose oil because I prefer it with pieces like this as the voids and inclusions tend to trap the wax. After its cured I then buff the smooth areas with Carnauba wax.

[@Kannadavijicreation]

Nice Senior

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you.

[@uladzimir7868]
