Woodturning - From Firewood to Future Family Heirloom (Fantastic!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лис 2023
- Woodturning - In this video I use two maple firewood pieces that are peppered with bird eye's and combine them with the Pro Series to induce lots of thermal cracking. From there, I then use the Kintsugi method of repairing pottery pieces, but apply it to the epoxy to make this a future family heirloom! This could just be one of my best pieces, thanks for watching and please share with our friends!

Just wanted to say that in the middle of a bunch of stress and anxiety, being able to sit down with a cup of coffee and watch you create this beautiful piece was like finding a port in a storm this morning! Thanks for being there and I hope you get your 4 feet back!
This came out soooo well! I'm surprised that the silver infill does not show more starkly silver in the finished piece, but you can still see the crack. For sure the orientation of the wood to form the wavey epoxy line was the way to go!
Glad to help! Thank you very much!
Very beautiful!
Cool beans, beautiful creation.
Orrrrrr whiskey!!!
I'll say it again. Absotively posilutely beautiful.
Thank you very much!
the words that come to me when looking at this piece are quietly elegant
Thank you very much!
My wife and I started watching your videos a month or so ago. We have a ways to go before we are caught up, but this is easily my favorite piece so far. I think that we're looking at top ten for my wife 😊
Thank you very much!
That hyper shift is the bees knees! Silver vs gold was the right choice. She’s a beauty! Thanks Jim!
I think so too! Thanks
What a phenomenal piece. If you think it's #1, then it is! Fantastic light show at the end for those who waited patiently.
Thank you very much!
I love how you combined cracked resign with the cracked wood. It was a perfect combination of materials.
Thank you! Cheers!
It's like wood sandwiching an amazing amethyst geode. That crack helps complete the geode effect. It is stunning.
With the light inside the resin transformed into Blue John, a rare fluorite found locally to me. Two different crystals captured in wood ❤🤩
Cool! Thank you very much!
Yes! It looks like a geode encased in maple.
I completely understand and empathize with you on waiting for the government when you're trying to build or renovate. We have been waiting for the county to approve our building permits for over a year after a house fire last October. Hopefully we will hear within the next couple of months.
Wow, that sucks! Is this Canada or the USA?
Definitely the best-looking hammer attack victim I've ever seen. Dang Jim that is simply incredible. Just as resin was a great leap forward for your work, the hypershift is another game changer.
This video was a perfect example of what I love about your channel. Besides the creativity, you give us a good laugh now and then. Hard to believe this was an hour-long video. Time flew like shavings.
Thank you very much!
I have watched many different wood turners and have settled on two. For me it is personality and the easy way you teach us. You also let us know if mistakes so we can avoid them. When you don't want the cracks they crack, and want cracks they don't. Keep us smiling.
Murphys law has a permanent residency in my workshop, lol. Thank you very much!
Once again, you hit it out of the park. It certainly is in your top 5.
Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
I feel like a broken record, just another beautiful creation from the dynamic duo.. Jim Sprague and Designer Epoxy!
Thanks again!
This is a masterpiece. The purple and hyper shift are perfect partners. Truly stunning Jim
Thank you very much!
the designer epoxy with hyper shift looks great with this bird's eye maple. the end result is just great!
Thank you very much!
Absolutely stunning! I could stare into that starry purple nebula for ages!
Me too. Thanks
Another fine work of art by Jim Sprague. The resin looks like outer space to me. The maple is stunning. Thank you for all your hard work you do for us to view. 🌿 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you very much!
Yes it is simply awesome. I like how the cracks look after the second poor. They really show up nicely. You hit a winner with the shape, and the collar is just right. Great job.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎
Thank you! Cheers!
That 'thermal' crack looks amazing! That crack looks natural yet travels the whole way around the piece.
It does! That’s the cool part too. Thank you very much!
I love watching the shavings being blown out of the hollow. Another fantastic piece 👏 x
Thank you very much!
I agree this is among the best you've done. Stunning piece. 😍
That hypershift is amazing.
Thank you kindly!
It’s fabulous! The hyper shift in the epoxy is stunning. You did it again. 👍😊
Thank you! Cheers!
It's like a geode sandwich 😁 the platinum was a good addition to the purple, really gave the hollow form a crystalline structure.
Thank you very much!
The struggle was real! 😂 I absolutely 💕 the hyper shift with the purple
Thank you very much!
😊Stunning, Jim! That birds eye has so much character on it's own. Combined with those colors and you got the WOW factor. ❤ it. Thanks
Thank you so much 😀
That's definitely a stunner! The combination of birdseye maple and designer epoxy really enhances your design and vision! Great job Jim 😎
Thank you very much!
The resin is stunning. Love the cracking. And the wood is gorgeous. So much character.
Thank you so much!
Stunning!!!
When you put out the short asking what we thought this was going to be, I answered "gorgeous".
I think I guessed correctly. 😉
Yes you did, thanks
Maple + purple = my favorite! The silver is a nice addition as well. As expected, this is another beautiful piece you've made. Also, I hope you can get your 4 feet back 😂
Thank you very much! Working on it
As always it's absolutely gorgeous Jim. You always make such beautiful pieces of art!!
Thank you very much!
Lately, every piece is your new favorite, lol. That Hyper-Shift is an absolute game changer. How can you ever go back to making a piece without it?
It’s going to be tough, lol.
The 'on purpose ' thermal cracking is great, love it.
Thank you very much!
That line in the epoxy looks like lightning. Love the look of your latest art.
Thank you very much!
Jim this is definitely a #1 piece. You should open an art studio. looking forward to next weeks video. Thanks
Love too, but just don’t have the time. Thanks
Nice Birdseye Maple gerat with Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Designer epoxy: this is a fantastic piece! The 90 degree turn of the round makes the designs statement.
Certainly, thanks!
Another masterpiece! Love the lightening effect in the resin.
Thank you very much!
What an absolutely lovely piece. The resin, both colors, go so well with the maple. Nicely done, Jim.
Thank you very much!
This is hands down my favorite of all of your peices so far. So beautiful.
Thank you so much 😊
Breathtaking piece! The crystal purple, hypershift, and silver kintsugi together are, to me, very reminiscent of an amethyst crystal and silver ore seam running through a rock. A sensational pairing with the birds eye maple, and I must agree this stunner is also in my top 3 pieces of your work Jim! Thank you!
I'd buy it if I had the money, but I'm certain it will bring its new owner much joy! 💜
Thank you very much!
Absolutely phenomenal piece! I think this might be my favorite too! Beautiful work Jim! ❤️
Thank you very much!
Another beautiful piece, the silver in the cracking is just perfect ❤
Thank you so much!
Who knew? That hammering time could look so good.
Thank you very much! ⚒️⚒️
Up against that light backdrop that hyper-shift POPS! That is probably one of my favorites you have done to date as well! Beautiful!
Awesome! Thank you!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching how this came together. It is absolutely beautiful. The knot is not a knot issue. Not a purple fan but the HyperShift made it very special more of an eggplanty purple. 10 Stars out of 5.
Thank you very much!
Between Designer Epoxy, the incredible pigments, the addition of the hypershift materials and your unique approach to creating all these one of a kind pieces has been such a comfort to witness over the last couple of years!!
Thank you so much for what you do. Your art is incredible. To own such a piece would be a real treat.
Thank you very much!
Faux thermal cracking silver inlay - beautiful resin shift - love the shape and all of that makes it numero uno ‼️
Thank you very much Jim!
The colors are beautiful; however, when you put a light inside STUNNING! It looks like alabaster
Absolutely, thanks!
Once again, a magnificent piece. love, love, love the hyper shift. See you next week.
Thank you very much!
Love, love, love birds eye maple and the resin is just beautiful. Amazing piece Jim
Thanks so much!
Good morning. The Birdseye Maple is beautiful.
It really is! Thanks
A truly spectacular piece! I've always loved purple and silver/grey. I also love how the interior-lit view at the end makes it look almost like an opal geode.
I would have found a before/after weight on this piece very interesting. Thanks as always, Jim!
Yes, I need to weigh these pieces more often. Thanks
Beautiful designer epoxy and Birds Eye maple turning Jim.
Thank you very much!
Oh wow, please keep using hyper-shift! These pieces are phenomenal and hyper-shift ads just so much fun!
Thanks, will do!
Beautiful piece. The River of color between the wood is great. Glad you turned the 2 in opposite directions. Well done my friend.
Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
This piece is definitely one of my favorites. I am very glad that you could not remove that knot, it gave the piece an exquisite and awesome masterpiece. I love ❤it. Thank you for creating this wonderful masterpiece
Thanks so much!
That is artistry in action. 😮😮😮😮
Thank you very much!
Love the way you "made" the thermal cracks when they didn't happen on their own! That's innovative problem solving! Awesome work, as usual. We look forward to your video each week. Keep them coming, Jim!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful piece. The birds eye is great but the Designer epoxy purple with hypershift and silver really gives it some pop. Definitely my favorite to date.
Thank you very much!
Yes that is among the top but you do many that are spectacular! We truly love that Designer Epoxy
Thank you! Cheers!
Jim many of your pieces are # - 1 very hard to state just one. ❤ all of them! Thank you 😊.
Glad you like them! Thanks
I just LOooveE that color!
I was still sick this morning and couldn't watch the live show, but I can watch it now 😊
Welcome back! Thanks
That hypershift really makes for a showstopper. Another great one-of-a-kind piece of art.
Thank you very much!
🤣😂🤣 you seem to have anew number 1 every week. Almost🤣😂🤣. Your skills have definitely grown. If not perfected, they are pretty darn close! It’s been great watching you create and grow in ways I had never imagined.
So nice of you, thanks.
I don’t normally care too much for hollow forms, but this is absolutely gorgeous
Thank you very much!
You're right, that resin is stunning
Thank you very much!
You said it this is one fine peice. Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Love it before it is even finished and I love the knot at the top. Can't stop watching it to get my dinner. Praying you get your 4 feet and that it is all perfect for you and your wife.
Thanks so much!
Beautiful piece love the hyper shift and the birds eye makes it pop. Another beauty Jim!😂
Thank you very much!
This is truly an awesome piece. I just love the wavy epoxy resin band that you were able to achieve through your creative orientation of the two pieces of birds-eye maple. So very smart and cool!!! And, Jim . . . you made me laugh when you very ingeniously created "thermal-cracking" through the use of a claw-hammer . . . of all things!!! Very cool video. Great project, as well. God Bless!!!
Thank you very much! 🔨🔨🔨
Stunning!! Keep up the fabulous work, Jim! I look forward to seeing what you do every week
Thank you very much!
Yet another work of art, the hypershift makes the epoxy look like a nebula or galaxy. Well done
Thank you very much!
Wow jim I think this is #1! 🎉 i cannot get over the hypershift effects. Looks like a geode. I'd like to see similar in dark wood...walnut? Spectacular
I’ve got some unique walnut pieces in the fridge kilns now. Thank you very much!
WOW just WOW, the thermal cracking is insane looking! I love the color!
It really is! Thanks
Designer Epoxy. Stunning piece. Someone will enjoy it for many years to come.
Thank you very much
BE-AU-TI-FUL. This is a stunning piece of work. Well done 💜💜💜🇬🇧
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful!!! Always a pleasure to look at your video! Have a great week Jim!
Many thanks!
#1 for sure! I love birdseye maple, and I think the purple is beautiful. I am not a big fan of the tiny opening, because I always think ‘what am I going to put in there?’ But, overall the form is gorgeous, as usual! Thank yo for sharing your process with us!
This is something that’s in the art category and really not meant to have a functional use other than enjoy it’s beauty. Thanks
@@SpragueWoodturning Yes! True! And I live in a small house, so I am always thinking about how my art can have function as well. For instance, I did a huge wood and epoxy piece, and incorporated it into my floor. I love the intent behind the Arts&Crafts movement of the late 1800’s and try for both artistic beauty and function in my pieces.💕 Your pieces are stunning, which is why I watch!
Designer Epoxy
I love purple. Thank you.
Me too! Thanks
Missed your live today but watched later. IMHO that is the best looking epoxy turning I've seen. The colour is something else and the birdseye puts it over the top.
Amazing work Jim , simply amazing!!
Thank you very much!
Oh my gosh Jim ! This is just gorgeous ! I just don't have everything needed to make something like this . I wish . So I will just enjoy your works .
Thanks so much!
@@SpragueWoodturning I am just starting to watch your video with the Sweet Gum spikey balls . I have also saved some similar for a project . I am curious what yours is going to look like . Have a great week and fight for that 4' in new shop . 😊😊
The part that looks like a crack through the middle is super cool. Beautiful!
Thank you very much!
Designer Epoxy Once again you did not disappoint absolutely beautiful!!! hope you have a great weekend
Thank you! You too!
Beautiful masterpiece, vase is stunning, I’m impressed how great the silver veins look. Thanks Jim ❤
Designer Epoxy
Glad you like it!
Very Nice the hyper shift is gorgeous, I love the bird eye. Designer Epoxy.
Thank you very much!
I love crystal purple 😊💟💟💜💜
Thank you very much!
Designer epoxy that one shines...
Thank you very much!
This is the most beautiful resin/ wood combo you've done, in my opinion. The shape is great, and I love the way the silver flows thru the resin. Truly a timeless, classical beauty.
Thanks so much 😊
That is a survival 😂😂😂 beautiful result, amazing 👏 👏👏 thank you for one more bang bang moment 😀
My pleasure! Thank you very much!
Designer apoxy is amazing. Those colors are the best I've seen yet. Such good work!
Thank you so much!
Oh my gosh! That is STUNNING! the Chaytoyance in that maple is fantastic! The purple is amazing! It looks like a periwinkle purple color.
Thank you so much!
Very nice. I like how the crack shows up even more under light. I had no idea the birds' eyes traveled like that through the wood. Fascinating.
It’s really cool. Thanks
Stunning Jim, You are really rocking the hyper shift. Designer Epoxy.
Many thanks!
Beautiful hollowform, Jim. Awesome job. 😊 Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Beautiful piece. The bird's eye makes it very interesting, also the color difference in top and bottom. Thanks
Thank you very much!
Thanks again Jim, great Friday morning. The resin was spectacular, and that Birdseye just had it all. I think it's one of the best too!
Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Love this hollow form. The bird’s eye is awesome.
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much!
That's very nice Jim really cool to see the resin poured the way you did it with it been 'up and down' over the wood class work as always.
Thank you very much!
This is my new favorite-at least for now.
Me too, lol. Thanks
Jim, Sir, I thought you were going to break it in half. It made a nice crack and I love the epoxy with the sparkle. The wood grain is amazing. You did a wonderful job making a beautiful piece.
Thank you very much!
