In this woodturning resin project, I create a piece of art from a scrap wood cherry root ball using epoxy resin and some elbow grease. I used GlassCast to set the root in resin without a pressure pot. This is a great scrapwood challenge
There is a lot of pure turning in this video which could make it suitable for ASMR. The root ball used is wild cherry. A lot of the wood turning projects I make can be completed by the beginner through to the more experienced wood turner. If you have any ideas for artwork, wood inlays, epoxy projects or any other wood turning projects please get in touch. Collaborations are always welcomes.

Mike is truly an artist! The way he mixes colors, makes different shapes work for him and then explaining what he wants to do and how he is doing it is very informative. I love his work and as a retired person on Social Security I'll probably never afford anything he makes. Just having the video is really a gift! Blessings Mike!

I wouldn't have thought a root piece like that could be turned at all! I love how it turned out, so gorgeous! The resin colors mixed up well, the swirls of the mica are lovely and the wood grain is so interesting. I'm glad to have seen this result.

@MikeHolton Год назад

Thank you so much Susan, tree roots can have some amazing grain structure as long as you can get it dry before it goes rotten. I do love the way this one comes out. It's one of the few pieces that have always been on display at home, despite my mother-in-laws attempts to steal it 😂

This is my third video in two days. When I first saw you cutting up that root ball, I couldn't imagine how that would turn out to be a thing of beauty since it seemed so convoluted and dirty. The outcome was amazing. The wood is spectacular and the fact that the resin filled in so well with no air bubbles just adds that extra pop to the vase. Beautiful job, thank you for yet another great video. I really enjoy watching and seeing the outcome of these projects. Wish I had a fraction of your talent. Thank you again, be well, be careful and be safe my friend, great job!

Very ambitious I live on a farm in Canada and had about 30 huge cherry trees blow down in a bad storm. As well as about fifty mature maples I have harvested some enormous root balls that will require outboard turning and huge amounts of epoxy. Your pieces are inspirational.

I did watch some wondering what happened to my last interest in my feed. Then I found this channel.... Out of all the similar this is the only one that's personable, and explain what you're going for vs what you're afraid of going wrong. Then there's the fact that the dog watching over you looks like my late friend Phil T Dog. So, I am happily subscribed. Give that boy a ear scratch for me

My 150 year old rolling pin hand carved by my great grandfather for his bride was lost in a fire, so I decided my daughter, grandchildren, and great grandchildren need one. So I am going to make them all one so far that is 7 rolling pins. Hope to have more great grandchildren. Any way loved the cherry root beautiful piece. 🎉
