Simply gorgeous! It looks like a piece of ancient Egyptian art. The wood gives a copper, bronze & gold accent to the the hollow form. The pine cone segments look like the remnant of a dynamic Egyptian scene. Mesmerizing!
Hi i live in Australia, my name is Jeannette Coman I'm 68 yrs with my carer Reg who is 68 yrs retired. We love watching your shows. Reg has worked with wood making furniture way back many yrs ago so we find watching you a nice way to pass the time. I must say this recent piece you made was interesting with the idea to put two colours into segmented trays then after set time taking them out to then glueing them together with two different colours together made it nice, then with the spacers and another pour of the purple. The colours were nicely blended and at the end of the whole process colours really popped with that new high gloss made the piece totally stand out. The idea of the underneith footing to stand on made it complete. Supa job well made unique. 🎉 love your shows cheers Jen xxx😊
I've watched several RU-vid channels that show woodturning. I've never subscribed to any of the channels because they don't talk during the videos. You are the first woodturning channel I've ever subscribed to. I love that you explain what you are doing.
Blue,green,purple,and gold. My most favorite color combination. You used three in resin colors and the wood could be my fourth. You put more sparkle in my eyes as I watched your most recent art masterpiece 🤗🤗💚💚
while I am a big fan of your youtube content, I'll confess I'm not usually super into the very colourful, resin-heavy pieces (just not to my taste, no insult to your work which is absolutely top notch) but this one is really quite lovely. Something about the way the bunya pine bits form organic, odd shapes in the finished piece really compliments the swirls of iridescence in the resin, it's very harmonious, and the vertical walnut sections ground everything beautifully.
First thought, I waited all week and you make preformed resin cubes and use milled walnut. Instead of randomly placing them in a mold, you mix the colors, one on top of the other, mirroring around the mold. Not what I was looking forward to at all. However, right up there with all your coolest things you have done for us. Jim, you are very talented, you have the vision, the touch, many of us only dream of. I know its a lot of work moving the cameras, to get the right shot, then editing. Your hard work is appreciated, thank you for sharing your talents with us.
The most beautiful creations I’ve ever seen. I just accidentally happened upon your channel and 4 hours later, I’m still watching ! Bravo Mr. Sprague, absolutely stunning art pieces and wonderful use of our natural resources.
I am in constant awe of your craft. You are such a joy to watch with your eye for detail, incredible range of skill and ease in which you deliver your instruction. I’m giddy with excitement and anticipation every Friday when I get that notification that your new video is available! You are so down to Earth-I truly feel like I am having a conversation with my talented neighbor from up the road, so to speak, as you share your latest endeavor. Your art is unmatched, as you’ve proved again today, and you are a true Inspiration.
You are so right! I never would have thought to put it that way but it truly is like a conversation with a friend. He is so easy to be around, so to speak. 🙂
Dear Jim, every week I wait to see your new creation. You are my weekly TV show.I always love your creation, but this week OMG you just blown my mind with that dream bowl is a deam.
Well Jim: I have to say that you have out done yourself this time. I really like the colours and the way they blended in with the pine cones. The maple wood was also a good choice for a little extra colour. Putting the foot on the bottom does wonders to the form by lifting it off of the surface. Great piece of work. Next weeks turning will have to surpass this one. Take care and stay safe neighbour. PS: thanks for the segment on getting it out of the bucket.
I love this week's bowl! just beautiful! I'm always amazed by the color combinations, but adding the wood blocks to the cast just made the piece!! the foot added class and you would never know it was an add-on... looks like it was turned with the original piece! again, I really love it!!
When you were first started with the mold I didn’t think it would work…I was surprised at how nice it looked! The finished bowl is outstanding 👍. Have to add that I’m traveling across Canada from BC to Manitoba - absolutely terrific sights, people and excellent camping sites!!!!
Really happy to have found this channel. I've had tons of wood-turning/resin videos pop up in my various feeds over the past few years, but they've all been quick time-lapses with no narration that didn't give me any appreciation for the work that actually goes into these projects. Really cool and engaging to see all the challenges involved, and your end-results are gorgeous. Love your work, man.
Just WOW! It's the most beautiful thing I've seen in many years. It speaks to my inner bohemian hippie chick-ness. The colors are perfect. You are so talented. 🥰
Sweet Baby Jesus!!!! This is so dang Beautiful 😍!!!!! I LUV the colors this is one of the most beautiful turns I've seen since I started watching yal!!!!! Than
Jim I'm really glad I found your channel. You are a well versed teacher. I find myself hanging on every word & that's refreshing. I've got so much more I'd like to talk to you about but, that'll have to wait. Jim, please, continue to keep us educated! (OH yeah, GREAT hollow form!)
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me Jim. I am always so excited to see what you come up with next! I cannot wait to own one of your pieces someday.
I agree: VERY VERY COOL! The colour combination is perfect!!! I like how the purple blended outward into the other sections. Great call on adding the pedestal.
Absolutely beautiful!! I love the foot, I think it gives this a gorgeous look.Your very talented. I watch every video and can’t wait for new ones to come out. Keep up the awesome job !!
Well Jim absolutely amazing piece the colour combo you chose is just stunning. I really do love watching your videos. And that ks for talking about the business side of things it's great to hear from someone with so much experience like yourself. Top work like always.
A true artist will tell you that the "gods" have much to say about how a piece turns out. Flying 'by the seat of one's pants' is quite an important part of creativity. And, you have it, my friend. Beautiful bowl!
Great piece, Jim! That combination of colours *really* reminds me of something and I can't think what it was. That's going to bug me all day... And some great advice in the voice over on how to get better results when turning your hobby into an income source. I started on Etsy about 4-5 years ago and sold a few canes here and there, but when I joined Pintrest with a "Canes I have made" board, my Etsy views and sales went up a fair bit. I put up my 3rd RU-vid vid a couple of weeks ago and that seems to be driving some traffic as well. (Gave you a shout out and linked your channel in the latest vid as your infill techniques were a bit of an inspiration for me.)
What an amazing piece! That base turned out perfect 👌 I'm not sure about the purple, I'd love to see it in a more neutral color. But I do love the way it filled everything in and brought it together! It goes nicely with the rest, just not for me.
You should see those Bunya nuts in person! You take your life in your hands if you park anywhere near a Bunya tree, they are huge! You did a great job!
That is so beautiful 😍 The foot on the bottom really takes it to the next level. I am still amazed how you can do these great finishes without having to deal with dust. Thr closeup at the end shows just how flawless it really is. I am curious, did this take 4 days to do the finish? Was it on your lathe the whole time? I absolutely love this piece, it turned out amazing 💕
The bowl tuned out very nice after putting so much hard work into it. A lovely surprise. Nice to hear that a man from my own country sent you the bag of timber to use. Lovely.
I love the shape of this piece. It's just gorgeous all the way around. I'm a big fan of pine cones, etc. things that add "texture." Once again, a nice nice job.
That piece is right up my alley! Purple is my favorite color! I love that you used pearlized colors in the initial molds and then with the purple. The use of the plastic fruit tray to make the "blocks" with the nut/cones in it is genius! The entire piece is gorgeous! The nut/comes look like wood flower petals almost! How unique! The wood bands up the sides and the matching pedestal look almost gold in the contrast withe the resin. Truly a beautiful and remarkable piece! I just love it! You're quite talented and have excellent taste for color schemes and ideas! Kudos to you for sharing your tips for those who want to pursue making and selling of their crafts, wood and other mediums. Very sage advice!
I known most people in Australia, but I know nothing of this so called Burnie. To the best of my knowledge (and I’m a language expert) Bernie is a Lavic name. I’ve no idea why there’s this silly talk of Australian…. Bernie.
BEAUTIFUL! The most important lesson I took from this: if someone gives you beautiful materials and you do not know what to do with them, just sit with the materials. You will figure it out. Well done.
Jim, thank you for another great video. I've only been watch your channel for a few weeks but i bet I've seen 20 vids by now. I'm not a wood worker I watch just to see the artistry and creation. You're kinda like the Bob Ross of wood turning. 🤣 keep up the great work. Thank you.
Hey Jim, like waaaay cool! The reflection of the pine is goldfishy, which amazes me. The purple is very royal kinda ecclesiastical. Each color plays it’s role. It’s simply gorgeous.
Nice design and clever use of materials at hand. I anxiously await your next project as you 'out due' each week. Thank you for sharing your creativity. Carlyle
Wow! I love how you challenge yourself to be ever more creative! Absolutely gorgeous hollow form bowl! Color combo’s are beautiful and amazing patterns! The base addition is was an excellent idea! Yummy project!🥰💖💜
@@SpragueWoodturning actually, have you ever thought about some art turning. You could do some small curling stones people could put on their mantles. I bet they would sell well, especially in Canada.
