Thanks for sticking with it…..the pieces that fight you always end up being some of the best in the end. Also you should’ve said you wanted it to thermal crack, that way it wouldn’t have……come on Jim, you know how these things work lol.
A very correct statement, lol. Thank you very much!
You have made a great beautiful vase I really like the way it has turned into a good challenge but you have a flower pattern on the inside and trees on the outside.😅
Arizonan here. It's pronounced choy-uh. ❤
There are a couple of them growing in my yard.
I went with what google said, lol. Thanks
@@SpragueWoodturning the colors were perfectly representative and I love that piece!
You are right on the pronunciation of cholla
@@pamigreenwayCool, you have them growing! I'm curious... Are they mean/unruly like jumping cactus? (Very sharp, fragment easily, etc.?) Cheers!
@@mookinbabysealfurmittens Cholla are there ones called"jumping cactus." They don't really jump, their spines at just fine and barbed so they stick to anything that moves past which propagate their seeds. Any cactus is difficult to handle but we just pay attention to limb drop so it can be disposed of safely.
I see a few giraffes and a leopard or Dalmatian with a ball. This piece definitely exercises the imagination!!! Love it. Designer Epoxy.
Thank you very much!
Another phenomenal turning. This is easily the best turning channel on UA-cam. Designer epoxy.
Wow, thank you!
I AGREE 1,000%. This is the ONLY UA-cam channel I watch with full dedication! Jim is an artist and a spectacular turner and teacher!
The trials and tribulations of trying new materials. Nice to see you working with another material and overcoming the difficulties during the turning.
Well done Jim. You are an inspiration to all. The light show at the end is always an added bonus. Take care and all the best.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
I say it each time I watch your videos, that what you made is my favorite, and you did it again. You have got to do more cactus. Especially with different colors and hypershift. This one is beautiful!
Thank you! Will do!
😂😂 that’s exactly me. Every one, I say to myself “this is my favourite”… until the next one.
Love the cactus. They are all over Arizona. Beautiful vase. I appreciate your work. You have the best woodturning UA-cam channel every week. Designer Epoxy.
Thank you very much!
The light colored cactus works extremely well with the dark green and magenta epoxy. You should definitely get more cactus skeletons for more projects. I think a plate with the cactus laid horizontally would be interesting.
Yes it would! Thank you very much!
Attack of the ghosts of cactus past. A beautiful vase and thanks for making it, excellent color choices. It was worth the wait 🌵🌵
Thanks again for sending them!
Jimdee, I'm in Pecos, TX teaching and coaching, and I'd love to see where you're getting these cacti...? I'm new to turning; I've turned 1 pen and I'm ready to try resin.. seems fun!!! Starting small! Thank you both. Great skills men!
The random wood patterns make this piece beautiful.
Thank you very much!
The two different species of cactus makes this very interesting. The Designer Epoxy always produces great results.
Thank you very much!
Wow, Jim! Thats a gorgeous piece! I absolutely love that touch of magenta on top! It does sort of look like a cactus and the shape is kind of barrel cactus shape. Saguaro cactus are the ones that are tall and have those 'arms'. I just love this project, its a real art piece! Thank you, Jim!❤❤
Thank you very much!
The random wood patterns gives it a ghost like feel and I am just amazed at how well the Designer Epoxy pulls this all together. Great job Jim !!!
Thank you!
Sometimes the projects that give us the hardest time ends up being worth the effort. This one was worth the effort. What a visual stunner. The interior lighting is ethereal. The shape, the pattern of the cactus, and the colors are a visual delight.This one goes into my top 10. Another fine piece. Well done Jim.👍
Thank you very much!
Another outstanding piece. The green and magenta really show off the cactus skeletons. Designer epoxy
Thank you very much!
Great project. One of the cactus pieces reminds me of a frog. Nature provides so many amazing things. The choice of green was a good one. Brings the cactus back to life.
Agreed! Thank you very much!
As much as I love your bowls, it's these hollow forms you make that do it for me! Gorgeous piece once again!
Thank you very much!
Love seeing enchanted green being used! This is a really lovely piece! To 10 for sure!
Thank you very much!
I absolutely love it. That green mixture is perfect for the 2 cactuses together. It's phenomenal. You did get this Justice and beyond.
❤😮🎉🎉❤
Thank you so much!
Great job matching the colors of the live body and blooms of the cholla cactus!! The cholla cactus is an invasive species that will teach cowboys, horses, and livestock the definition of the word “hate”!!
The color and the shape remind me of a watermelon which comes from the Pecos area of Texas.
Great job once again using the Designer Epoxy to showcase your design!!
Interesting, does that mean you can cut it at will there? Thanks
@@SpragueWoodturning Yes Sir. We use hay pitchforks to load it in trailers to go to ranch dump grounds.
@@Buttermilk3696 you should ship them to me, lol.
The flow of the striations among the greens enhances the cacti's solid shapes. The lighting gives the piece completely different vibes. Fascinating! So much to look at and study. A hard won wrestling match!
Thank you very much!
Good afternoon from Edinburgh, Scotland
Good afternoon
The addition of the magenta to the top was a stroke of genius. Love the shimmer and dancing of that Designer Epoxy. Beautiful work and thank you for sticking with it.
Thank you so much!
I won't be able to watch this morning because I have to go to work! But I will watch this afternoon! I can already tell this is going to be amazing 😍❤❤❤
Ok, thanks!
Work is the curse of the drinking class.
Wow the cactus really gives this a unique look. The magenta adds a nice pop of color. Love this piece , so will it's new owner❤❤❤
Thank you very much!
One of the things I love about your work, Jim, is how you bring your love for the natural world into the things you create. The shapes those cactus create is so beautiful and organic. I imagine you've been doing this since your early inlay-only days. It's wonderful, even when it fights you!
Thank you very much!
Good.
I agree the many different patterns are indeed beautiful. Of course the color green just puts it over the top.
I totally agree! Thanks
This is a beautiful piece, Jim! As I watch you working with the cactus, I have to say, cholla cactus is HARD to get around when you are on horseback, lol! This vase is totally beautiful Jim! Love the colors you used, and the light shining through is gorgeous!!!
I bet it is, lol. Thanks
I agree, I got bucked off because of cholla. Nasty stuff, took two hours to pull all the needles out of my horse, plus a stay in the hospital for him. I didn't fair much better 😢😢. Beautiful piece.
Amazing. I love saguaro and cholla cactus, and I love how the structure of the wood is so clear even though the epoxy isn't transparent. One of my favorites!
Thank you very much!
Sometimes the strongest storms bring the prettiest flowers. And Boy did your flower turn out beautiful!
Thank you very much!
I think that green color and the yellow cactus look great together (green and gold is a classic combo). The magenta designer epoxy is the cherry on top!
I totally agree! Thank you very much!
Designer Epoxy. I like your use of different greens & the pop of the Cacti from it.
Thank you very much!
Jim, this really looks good and I love the purple on top with the green hypershift going strong. Way to go Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Thanks for stuck with the challenge! It turned out beautifully💕 I love the form the way it is. You were worried out there being a witness line and the thermal cracks, but honestly, you can’t see him in the finished piece. Awesome piece of art Jim
Yes, it cleaned up nicely. Thanks
Just another Friday morning, nothing special, that is till 9:00am. Another spectacular piece Jim, what can one say. My grandmother use to say that trials and tribulations are God's way of saying your tougher/better than you think/believe and that the tough stuff makes you better. I believe it!! Keep them coming Jim.
Thank you very much!
This piece is so cool. It's always fun to watch how it will work out with the extra the strange shapes you like to work with. This one lit up is fantastic
Thank you so much!
Holy cow that's beautiful, the color on the top was good thinking 💯,I for one love hearing about you ,your wife and familys plans for the future.
Thanks so much!
This piece was awesome. The cactus branches created some amazing effects. We loved how much the designer epoxy glowed when lit up from the inside.
Thank you! Cheers!
The extra patience paid off..... another stunner Jim!!!!!!
Once again a stunning piece. I love the variety of woods and other bits you use. Can see this one beautifully displayed on a shelf with uplighting.
Thank you very much!
Great use of the Cactus and the Designer Epoxy, it would look great with a small LED light inside. Well done Jim
Thank you very much!
Designer epoxy
This open form vase is beautiful. I’d love the green color.❤
Thank you very much!
The 2 different cactus really make this piece! Great work as always!
Thank you very much!
Love the greens and Magenta!!❤😅
Thank you very much!
Looks great as always! Designer Epoxy never fails.
Thank you!
When you introduce new things like this cactus, it is always interesting. Your results are always amazing as well. Thank you for your content
Thank you for watching!
Beautiful! Who knew cactus skeletons could be so pretty?!
Thanks so much!
Absolutely Stunningly Gorgeous Jim ❤ WOWSERS!
Many thanks!
So cool. Makes it almost leopard print. Nice colors. Gives you a new perspective on cactus. 🌵
Yes it does! Thank you very much!
Ooh, looks almost haunted when illuminated, the way the cactus pieces fade into the resin. Love it!
Thank you very much!
Local desert dweller here, you say it "Choy ya" at least that's how we've said it my whole life lol, also your pieces are so beautiful 😊
I googled it, lol. Thank you
Another absolutely beautiful piece!!! Take care Jim. I hope that your house sells soon.
Thank you very much!
Absolutely gorgeous! Your vision for this was spot on 👍
Thank you so much!
That is definitely one of my favorites. Keep doing what you do, love it. I’m a U.S. Navy veteran, we veterans need to support each other.
Agreed! Thank you very much!
Wow, beautiful piece. I like the smaller opening, challenging. Thanks again Jim.
Many thanks!
This is one of the most beautiful pieces I've seen you create.
Thank you! Cheers!
Designer Epoxy. Gorgeous piece Jim.
Many thanks!
That piece is very beautiful. You are a true master of wood turning. Love your plans that you come up with. Amazing.
Thank you very much!
An intriguing piece. Enjoy watching every Saturday morning as I am 10 hours earlier than you to see where your imagination has travelled this time.
Glad you enjoy it! Cheers
Another incredible piece. Very well worth the struggle, imo. The colors fit the cactus so well, and the cactus itself makes such beautiful patterns with the holes
Thank you very much!
Gorgeous Jim! The colors work for me!!!
Designer Epoxy
Cool, thanks!
Gorgeous as always 😊
Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Didn't think those cactus skeletons were so hard. Interesting piece. Designer epoxy.
Thank you very much!
It may have been a challenge but nothing that your skill and designer epoxy can’t handle. Looks great
Thank you very much!
Designer epoxy. Very nice and beautiful color choice. 😊
Thank you very much!
Stunning piece Jim I love the detail you put into your pieces, it seems a fair few of us have been affected by cancer either ourselves or in family members. A piece auctioned off for charity would be wonderful thing to do, maybe you could come up with possible themes and the members could vote for their favourite one
Thanks for the suggestion, yes cancer sucks!
Another amazing project with a great video… I look forward to these all week
Thank you very much!
Hi Jim, bark was very unusual. But very beautiful. You never gave up. The colours are so pretty too. Amazing work as always. Have a good day.
Thank you very much!
What a neat and cool way to use the cactus “skeletons”. I’ve seen them in the landscape but never would have imagined using them like you have. Most wonderful work!
Thank you very much!
Fantastic piece! The inside light effect gives it a true 3D quality to the pattern. I never knew what a cactus looked like dried. I know it seemed to frustrate you a lot, and I'm grateful you stuck with it to the end. Thank you for sharing your craft with us. ☺️ 🙏
Thank you very much!
Each piece presents its own difficulties, but a wise artist like you, overcome the challenges. Lovely unique piece Jim, with Designer Epoxy, and a big fan of anything tinted with greens.
Thanks for watching!
Challenges, challenges.... you stayed the course and made another beautiful creation. Hope to see more like this in the future.
Designer epoxy
Thank you! Will do!
The different tones of the green are great! The magenta adds a lot too. Good job for an ominous start lol
Designer epoxy. Wasnt even aware material like that lives in a cactus. Nice job
Me neither, lol. Thanks
I love this piece. Watching you trying to pronounce the cactus made me giggle, thanks for that!
I try, haha. Thanks
This is my favorite of all the pieces I've seen on your channel. The magenta at the top and the shape you chose make it very esthetically pleasing. Nice job! I'm glad Designer Epoxy sponsors you so you can keep being creating art!
Thank you so much!
I love how abstract this piece is! So many things to see from different viewpoints! I think you picked the right Designer Epoxy pigments for this! You had some trouble, but you'd never know by the finished product!
Thank you for posting another video! You helped make packing boxes (I'm in the process of moving this weekend!) Less overwhelming!
Good luck on the house selling, Jim! Hopefully, there is a bid you can us about the next video!
Thank you for watching!
Love the colors. Some of the cactus looks gold. Love the magenta as the flowers. Another stunning piece. It kinda looks like snake skin from afar. 💜
I think so too! Thank you very much!
Gorgeous looking hollow form Jim. The combination of the two different types of cactus, Hyper Shift, and the colors give this piece a unique visual effect. Thinking if you do another one , multiple colors and hyper shift would look amazing. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Yes, that would be nice. Thanks
That green is beautiful and the touch of magenta is perfect!!! You are the most creative person ever!!!
Thank you so much!
WOW, just WOW!! This is so beautiful! I think it is one of the most unique looking vases I have ever seen, and it looks equally fantastic with the light and without. Your creativity amazes me! Thanks for sharing the making of this piece with me! Have a safe trip out and back and have fun picking the perfect spot for the workshop!
Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Designer epoxy project turned out great again Jim. What patience on a difficult project, but must feel good when its a success!
Yes it does! Thanks
Oh so pretty! Love that cholla look! The green and magenta were great color choices! Thanks Jim!
Thanks so much!
It has to be frustrating that you get cracking when you don’t want them but trying to get cracking the resin doesn’t cooperate. This piece definitely speaks cactus. That pistachio green is one of my favorites. The magenta at the lip was a great choice. You are such an artist!
It can be frustrating, lol. Thanks
I like the idea that because of the Cholla and Saguaro Cactus you chose a color combination to match a cactus. 🤘
I think the cholla cactus vase is magnificent ❤!
Thank you very much!
Another great project. I like the way you put everything together to show the unusual textures of the cactus. Very nice.
Thank you very much!
You diffidently got the colors right for cactus theme thanks for bringing another wonderful piece of art to the world.
My pleasure, thanks
Green is one of my favorite colors so I particularly like this one. Designer Epoxy.
Thank you very much!
It's a unique piece, the cactus skeletons are a little scary.
Lol, thanks!
The Cholla cactus is so unique. This is a lovely way to represent them. Thank you for sharing.
Can't wait to see what you make!
Thank you very much!
I agree with you Mike. You did well with the orientation of the blank when you mounted it up. Nice work,as usual.
Who’s Mike, lol. Thank you very much!
Colors are great and the cactus is definitely a unique look. I like it. You won the battle! Great job. Designer Epoxy
Thank you so much!
I know it was a frustrating project for you but on my side of the screen, it was definitely worth your effort. It's gorgeous 😊
Yes it was! Thank you very much!
Very cool hollow form, and it turned out great! Love the flower look on the top, so pretty! ❤
Realized that I haven't seen your videos pop up, been missing them, so I went looking for you in my subscriptions! This project came out beautifully!
Welcome back! Thanks
Another great turning using designer epoxy
Thank you very much!
Another masterpiece! Also, yes, please keep us updated on your moving situation. 😊
Thank you! Will do!
I think the combination of the greens with the ghost green made this piece absolutely gorgeous, I enjoy hearing you discuss all of the trials that you go through and how you overcome each one as it comes up.
Thanks for watching!
