Woodturning - In this video I combine banksia pods and resin to make this very unique looking vase. This is also the first time I've used a resin finish as well. Thanks for watching and please share with your friends, thanks!

    OMG! Another favorite piece. The colors, depth and dimensions on this piece compliment each other so well that it’s hard to describe how beautiful it came out. It looks like a bunch of small creatures captured in a time. Again, the incredible colors, depth and dimensions on this piece are perfect. Love these videos! 😁👍🏼🤍
  • Jim, this piece is absolutely beautiful. I love seeing the entire process from start to finish. The little imperfections make the piece even more beautiful, because they prove that this was entirely handmade, not something from an assembly line. Keep up the good work.

    Hi Jim. Banksia is pronounced as BANK C AH. .. You have done a beautiful job of one of our national botanical treasures. Banksia plants were named after Sir Joseph Banks , botanist on HMS Endeavour captained by James Cook in 1770.
  • Sir, My wife and I were fortunate enough to come across one of your videos. We are amazed at the beauty you create. I believe we are on hour 6 at the moment.You mentioned talking about what you are working on during your projects.We hope you continue as it is a great way to learn about your craft for us novices. You have 2 new fans. Thank you for sharing your art. K Kerns
  • Great Job!!!! That would look great on any table. One day it will sit in a museum as an example of 21st century Art. Again Great Job.
  • @apearson79
    The way the two resin colors marbled together is really gorgeous! Would love to see some pearl black and pearl silver together in this way.
  • @victoriaruth821
    That is absolutely Gorgeous!!! And its Christmas colors too. I love it!
  • @user-ul8sk1ss9d
    Какое счастье создавать такие шедевры! Смотрю вместо художественных фильмов. И вместе с вами учавствую в этом творчестве❤. В следующей жизни буду мужчиной😂, и у меня будет вот такая мастерская! А в голове уже есть очень интересные проекты !😂😂😂❤
  • I think if I owned that piece I could spend hours and hours just looking at it, and admiring it.
  • You are a real artist, doing a better job than many doctors, journalists and politicians this days. You are building up. They are destroying, killing and stealing. Please continue and perfect your awesome skills.
  • I could see this in a museum. It is deep and rich and the palette is truly gorgeous and harmonious. I wonder what it would look like if lit from within? It's just beautiful!
  • 'Bank - see -a' pods. Absolutely STUNNING piece, you aren't a woodturner, you're an Artist!
  • @FT4Freedom
    This is one of the top pieces I have seen on YT.
  • For me the key to resin/wood turning is the amount of resin vs. wood. Usually with banksia pods there is more resin than pods, because they use whole pods. By cutting them into chunks the relationship and the look is entirely different. Great choice on your part. Thanks again for a great video.
