KEEP THE BASE! It captures the colors of the pine cones as well. I love that you kept the sides thick - when the light shines through you see not only the two dimensional shape of the cones but the depth of them as well. Absolutely beautiful!!
I was also noticing how the wood base complimented the pine cone colors - darker to darker/lighter to lighter. I like the small knob, too. Some of the top spindles on other channels look weaponized. Beautiful project!!
Absolutely GORGEOUS!! Love the purple color with the swirls & waves. .... AND keep the base. It adds a pedestal to display the bowl and dimension to the piece.
I love the wood foot! Keep it! This is such a unique and beautiful piece. I love how the resin kept some separation of color and the amazing swirling! The lidded dish is a very cool design and definitely one I'd like to see again.
Designer Epoxy --- Keep the base! it'll be beautiful when polished - I agree with you. I feel it adds to the beauty. You are the master crafter, I trust your opinion on your designs. Purple is my favorite color and this is simply gorgeous! Thank you for sharing the creation of the piece. I love it!
Keep the base! I can definitely see a color separation, and its really a beautiful bowl! and the lid is fabulous!! the lights inside washes out the red and blue to a yellowish color
Just when I think a piece cannot be beat, you produce another work of art! Love this!! It looks like there are plants underwater in a pond filled with sunlight.
I like the combination of the patterns on the outside. Because it reminds me of water and flowers at the same time. It makes me think of growth. And it is beautiful as it is.
Jim keep the base and add a maple plug/finial to the top. This will balance the wood on the base and give you a.better grip on the lid. I really like the waterfall effect around the pine cones and the color turned out great. Thank you again for sharing.
Keep the base. This piece is stunning and the contrast between the wood base and the resin / pine cone bowl is part of the appeal to me. Love watching your work. DESIGNER EPOXY
Designer Epoxy. Love how the red and blue made the purple color. It looks great with the pine cones. I also likes the foot as a base because there are so many bowls that have a flat bottom, so the foot makes it stand out from the other bowls. Keep up the good work.
I like the foot, the Designer Epoxy color is a perfect. Each view inside, outside and covered provide unique perspectives of the cones. What a piece of art!
Jim, your turnings never cease to amaze me. Absolutely gorgeous piece! The "flower effect" is added surprise and a beautiful feature to the lidded bowl. Great work, looking forward to seeing more pine cone turnings.
Keep the bottom. I like the direction you went with it. The White sitting on the pine cones makes it look like Snowflakes on flowers. Beautiful covered dish
I agree, keep the base! I know I said I loved the earlier one but this one... WOW! This one is simply stunning. The resin with the pearl almost gives it a first effect. Amazing job, Jim! 💜
Things i say while 👀 watching: "huh, clever", " cool! purple!", " I like the color variation Jim", and so on and so on. Every time it's a mystery what it will be, and whammy! A real beauty. I think you should ignore your critics and just follow your intuition. It's past my bedtime 🌙 so I'll try to watch through but might catch up tomorrow. Ahh yes keep the base. No doubt. But again do you. Look , just look at the magic you made. ✨️
Designer Epoxy. I love the purple. It is my favorite color, and I love the look of it and the pine cones. Keep the foot on the bowl. It makes it stand out.
I’ve been power-watching your videos for weeks. ALL your work is incredible. This one might be my favorite. The base compliments the color of the pine cones and for me, makes it look more finished. Hope to see more pine cones in your future! God bless, Jim.
That lid is GORGEOUS! The pine cone skeletons inside almost look like veins of gold too. The foot gives the dish a more graceful look that fits the pine cone flowes, keep it!
Fantastic piece, don't blame you for keeping it. That bit when you said it looks groovy, surely it was, pure flower power. Just beautiful, thanks for the video 😀
I vote to keep the maple base. What a pleasant surprise to see the longitudinal axis of the pine cones when you lift off the lid!! Very nice, Jim!! Designer epoxy
This is a beautiful piece, with the pinecone shapes on the side( inside and outside), then how it looks like flowers on the lid. I love how the resin collected around the petals in the top, with that gorgeous pearl, it just gives it a little extra pizzazz.😊
I’m a potter, because I don’t have the patience for wood turning, especially the endless sanding. I love the foot, it really elevates the piece. Leave it on this beautiful lidded vessel.
I've been waiting for you to leave the waste block & use it as a pedestal. I think you can do so many things with a wood bottom for some of your pieces, like this one. Not all, yet this one would be sweet with it incorporated. Thank you for taking us along
The wood foot was a keeper! One of my favorite aspects of your channel is your delight and enthusiasm when you finish your pieces. The work, itself, is always beautiful!
I think you made all the right calls about how much of the pine cone to expose. Really like the flower effect. The waterfall effect with the resin is really cool. As far as the base no base decision goes I have to use my grandpa’s rule. He was a carpenter and when the husband and wife disagreed he explained that it would be resolved with a vote. However, the wife got two votes and the husband one. I personally was unsure about the base until I saw the finish on. The brown in the base really complemented the brown in the pine cones and really looked nice. The lid was a great idea. I would be holding onto that beautiful piece also. Designer Epoxy.
WOW what a stunning piece!!! And for my two cents worth: keep the wood base! I look forward to more pinecone projects, the 'flowers' you can create are beautiful and I love the 'spines' you see inside and the waterfall look on the outside and... Did I mention I LOVE this piece!!
