Well, of course I love that, Mike! Beautiful grain and features. I love how you brought out the voids. Kind of gives it a scary mask look. Put a light inside and set it in a window to keep little kids away! LOL! Really nice job, very enjoyable video, my friend! Phil
What an excellent piece of work, very impressive. Until I acquired a lathe of my own I would have just seen a chunk of wood like that as fuel for the log burner!
OMG! That is an absolutely amazing piece, Mike. There is so much character in that vase I can’t believe it. That bead detail was a great idea. I wasn’t so sure about it when you said what you were going to do but as it came to life it certainly added a lot to the piece. As usual, I very much enjoyed this video from you. Take care of yourself, my friend. 😃😃😃👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Happy turning, …..Gord
Thank you Lee, I guess around five to six hours of actual work .... obviously not counting the sit downs for a vape and Diet Coke and snacks etc etc 😁😁
Great piece Mike. Must of taken a while. My auger bits have a screw thread on the points to pull them into the wood. Is this ok to use on a lathe or should I file the thread off to leave just a centre point like a Brad point drill bit? Cheers Lee.
Beautiful Mike and an amazing piece of turning. I saw this on FB and to see it being turned was a pleasure to behold. Great video Mike. Take care mate. Hwyl, Huw
Beautiful piece Mike, its longer than my lathe lol. Interesting experiment applying over YG, often wondered what can and can't go over it. Cheers Geoff
Beautiful vase Mike. I was a bit worried about one or two of those knots flying off when you hollowed it. Looks like you caught the center one just in time. Very good. There or not, the void really adds to the overall picture of this piece of art. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. Just, wow. I do wish you had included the bit where you broke through, but managed to keep it all from falling apart. That had to be some delicate tool work.
