- Woodturning - In this video I combine red oak and purple sand cherry branches with some deep cast from Designer Epoxy to make this awesome hollow form. I really like the look of the branches and the style of this hollow form and we will see more of these in the future. Thanks for watching and please share with your friends.

I am a 75 year old mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Instead of sitting alone watching mindless movies on TV at night, I have been watching your unbelievable beautiful creations. Thank you so much for making my life so much brighter!!! Keep creating, as the world needs more beauty and lovely people like you!!!
Wow! Thank you very much!
I am 70 and love watching these beautiful pieces emerge from the resin and woods.
I think it is so funny how many older ladies find this channel fascinating, and I am one of them.
Hi everyone . I'm 50 y.o. italian girl and I really love your creations. Thank you for sharing❤
Ditto from all us seasoned citizens that love watching your channel. Hands down, way better than tv
The most beautiful by far! I’m so jealous of its eventual owner.
You are so kindly!
My Dad purchased a One way Sit Down Lathe for the Senior Community he lived at. When he passes away, the lathe was donated to the workshop at the senior community center so that others in wheelchairs could enjoy the wood turning hobby..
Such a great idea. Thank you.
This was awesome of him to do that! Sorry for your loss! Thanks for watching!
Love the way your creation turned out Jim!
I'm a nurse, & when I'm at work & get overwhelmed, I just set & watch your videos just for some easing of the mind. Thank you for that! Most other channels are fake & mindless. This channel is creativeness & teaching as well.
Designer Epoxy
Nursing is one of the toughest jobs on the planet! Thank you for doing this physical and mentally demanding job!
Tip number 49 from "Woodturning for People Over a Certain Age:" CHAIRS! So true. So very, very true. Jim, I love this piece! I love how the cherry branches look like they're being stretched and being pulled in the direction of the curves of the hollow form. Very organic with great movement and color! And in the words of almost any great Chinese philosopher you could choose: "None of us are as young as we used to be, grasshopper."
So true! Thank you very much!
A provocative piece from any angle, with a life of it's own. Love it.
Thanks, Jim.
Thanks so much!
I'm a 57year old lady doctor from India. I don't have much spare time but I find your videos very calming and relaxing. My sons make fun of me saying I am becoming so knowledgeable watching your channel that I can switch jobs !! 😂
Wonderful! Thank you very much!
Designer Epoxy ❤
Thanks
Me, not a woodworker, sitting on my couch eating cheezits: "Psh, amateurs. Don't even know what pith is..."
Anyway, LOVE these branch pieces, they are SO groovy. Absolutely glorious. Everything from the shape, the color, the choices of the wood pieces, no notes.
🤣 Thanks very much! Love cheezits!
I love watching what you can do with different wood. Designer Epoxy ❤
Thanks, it's amazing what you can find in nature!
Love this one! Ignore the blue haters, the blues are my favorite pieces, especially the sea cave. I also love the collars on your hollow forms. Thanks again for all of the info. And designer epoxy. Cheers!
Thank you so much!
I see your work over and over again I just love your work cant get enough of it ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!
Watching your channel from 🇦🇺.
Don't take this the wrong way, Jim, but I love watching your work before going to sleep - it's so relaxing and induces the calmness I need instead of mindless scrolling or watching TV. Love your creativity and your allowing the materials to "speak" to you.
You’re apparently not alone, lol. Most find my voice very smoothing. Thank you very much!
Love the Bombshell! The colors of wood with the gorgeous blue epoxy - stunning! So different and imaginative! Inspired! ✨
Thank you so much!
Good morning to all. A fresh homemade cherry scone and a cup of tea ready to go. This looks spectacular.
Good morning from Australia, although it's very early morning (12:45am) so coffee and biscuits for me 😄. Thanks for showing a more in depth look at your captive system. Very interesting and this hollow form is going to look sweet.
Hope you enjoy! Thanks
I'm so jealous.
"Sharing is caring!" Homemade cherry scone sounds delish!!!
Mmmmm . . . Cherry scone.
Working in law enforcement blue is my favorite color!!! Working midnight shift I get to watch videos more often.
Thank you very much!
Oh, Designer Epoxy!
Thanks
Designer Epoxy
Thanks
Jim, if this doesn't draw in subscribers, I don't know what will. This piece is absolutely gorgeous. Simple but so elegant and spectacular. And the shop looks fantastic too!
I got 280 yesterday, so you’re right, lol. Thank you very much!
Love it ❤! I really like the way that the branches came out at the bottom. I just the uniqueness of wood. No matter how much it looks the same outside, the inside is just a different "play with grain." Wonderful result. Designer Epoxy
Awesome! Thank you!
I really loved this piece Jim, & of course blues, purples & hyper-shift pigments are my favourite colours. When you put Dwayne or Baby Dwayne’s on the top to keep the wood from rising, could this be when the tops of the sticks absorb more of the resin colour (when it is in the vacuum pot)? Could this be causing the extra colour absorption on some of the top of the branches? Just a thought, I only know what I have learned from watching your channel. Anyway, another great video! Hope the house sells quickly for you & your wife. 🖖🏽
No, I don’t think so, most of the branches remained submerged in the resin except for the three that escaped. We hope the house sells quickly too, lol. Thanks
As someone who can't stand and had assumed that meant that I couldn't do woodworking, thank you for telling us about the sit down lathe! It's nice when ppl include disabled ppl. It doesn't happen enough.
I also love this piece. I think the things you do with branches are always interesting. Burl is beautiful in person but it is much more difficult to see the details of through the internet.
My pleasure, thanks!
I love the blue with the different branches and the shape of the hollow form!
Your shop looks amazing and I bet having it cleaned up and organized makes working in it much easier and more efficient!
Yes, it certainly does, on the other hand, I don’t know where I’ve put things now, lol. Thanks
That's a typical man's mind set lol
Cleaning the shop for pictures should also help when you have to pack it up to move. You've got a head start. I'm only a little way into the video but the thumbnail looks gorgeous; excited to see more.
Thanks so much!
Love that classic shape. It always reminds me of a ginger jar. That blue and silver at the top is stunning. I think that would be a beautiful color choice for a giveaway. If you try tis again try it in the deepest green you can get and mix it with the silver.I have to put this one in my top ten. Excellence and artistic vision achieved once again.👍
Great idea!! Thanks
I approve this color choice!
👌👌👌
Thanks
Very beautiful piece. Constantly raising the bar! Good luck with your home sale and moving.
Thank you so much!
You already said it all -- the shape, the materials, the color, the little stars at the center of the red oak. The silver!
Thank you very much!
Broken record here. But another beautiful piece. :) Branch/Epoxy pieces are always interesting to me. Designer Epoxy
Thank you! Cheers!
It’s the bees knees. Pretty cool Jim. 👍
Thanks very much!
Didn’t notice till watching the beautiful piece rotating, there are really cool stars in the middle of the red oak.
Me either, what a neat surprise. Thanks
OoooooooooOOOOOH!
SO GOOD!
I adore this look, I love the branches, the colour combo, the collar, the shape, the contrast of the thicker and thinner pieces of wood in different species and hue, EVERYTHING is gorgeous!
I can only offer gushing praise this week Jim, I'm pretty tired so I don't have any interesting questions or observations to offer, but yes, this piece is just beautiful! Thank you!
Thank you so much!!
Hi, from southern Ontario. I love watching the process. Not sure how, but I'm not a woodturner and knew what the pith was.
Great, thanks for watching!
Designer epoxy
Thanks
(Don't hate me) When I saw the thumbnail I thought bacon and eggs. (Maybe I am just hungry) 🥓🥓🥚🥚😃😁
Yum, lol. Thanks
I just LOVE how you took some branches from outside and turned them into a "Bring nature inside" piece. Just like the pinecones one you did maybe a year ago.
I wonder how a piece would turn out using lots of SHELLS in the design of a future project.
Designer Epoxy
Shells are too hard to turn even with carbide. Thank you very much!
Absolutely beautiful!😍 Pouring the rainbow blue in with the silver turned out amazing! You never disappoint, Jim!
Thanks so much!
Im rewatching some of my faves to help keep it going during the move! 😊
You're the best! Thanks
You're the best! Thanks
You did it AGAIN! AND AGAIN, SHES A BEAUTY!
Thank you very much!
I love that blue! Shape of the turning ain't half bad either! 🤣
Thanks very much!
Thanks very much!
Love it!!!! 💚💙💜
Thank you very much!
Designer Epoxy ❤❤
Absolutely love this piece ❤, I think it's my favorite piece so far. Would love to see a piece made from walnut wood, Ash, hyper shift, and resin ❤.!! Absolutely gorgeous Jim ❤️!!
Great suggestion!
Beautiful Hollow Form, Jim. What a completely different look when lit from the inside. Very cool,
Many thanks!
Spectacular so cool. Give me silver, blue and gold, the colors of the sky I'm told... Old song. 😊
Thank you very much!
You never cease to amaze me. This absolutely takes the cake. I love it!
Thank you so much!
Yes, beautiful!! The silver pour on the collar, is very subtle, but lovely!
Thank you so much!
Wow wow - absolutely beautiful 👌🙏
Thank you so much
This is fantastic!! I appreciate that you can use even simple branches and turn them into great art! It reminds of a lava lamp. But the wood is the oozing fluid! 😊👍👍👍 Maybe you could keep it solid and shape it like a lava lamp but with lights in the center before pouring in the epoxy? Groovy!😂. Great job!!!!
Possibly 😜😜thanks.
Wow! This piece is fantastic!
Many thanks!
That's a stunning object. I didn't know how the silver top would work. I'm glad you sacrificed most of the silver to make an overall great piece. Love it! ❤️
Thank you very much!
A striking piece.
Thank you very much!
Hi Jim, it's beautiful. I might be , will I am a big girls blouse 👚 🤔. But the top is like a Flower 🌼. So cute. Have a great day.
You too!! Thank you very much!
One of your best pieces! and the hollowing tool set up instructions was appreciated!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you very much!
Absolutely brilliant, Jim. Although I prefer reds and blacks for epoxy, you hit another homerun with the Rainbow Blue. I am not a turner, I remodel homes and am a USAF vet. Thank you for your service for your country. Thank you for your voice overs. Other channels just can't compare
Wow! Thanks so much!
WOW that vase should be in a museum it is a work of art!
Thank you very much!
I’ll never get tired of the resin spider webs 🤭🤗 Beautiful finished piece, one of my favs!
Thank you very much!
This is a gorgeous pie Jim. The resin is mixed as perfectly as it gets. Great color, plenty of shimmer. The shape of this piece is dead on. Super job Jim.
Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
I really love the color of the blue and the so with that goes together❤🎉😮😊
Thank you very much!
Wow! What a cool looking piece! I love the color and the look of the branches. Well done!
Thank you very much!
The rainbow blue is my favorite of the colors you use! I like how the top looks like a buttercup.
Thank you very much!
Totally awesome. 🤩
Thank you very much!
This piece reminds me of art at a Waldorf school or a fairy flower in a Hans Christian Anderson book. Beautiful craftsmanship as always 🥰
Thanks so much!
Jim this piece is truly amazing. The mixture of small and larger limbs is great. Love love love it.
Thanks a bunch!
I'm slowly making my way back in watching all your videos, but I'd have to say this is your best project. Bottom is a little long for me and would love to buy, but based on previous estimation on prices I so can't afford. US Disabled Vet and can't wait till I get my workshop back to get back to turning. Driving me up the wall not having a workshop at my current property.
Hopefully it will be soon. Thank you very much!
Love this piece! Great video, as always!
Thank you very much!
I very enjoyed the shop update - organisation makes me happy!
And so does that silver!
Ha ha! Thanks so much!
Beautiful piece ❤
Thank you! 😊
Wow, that is beautiful Jim! All of the shapes that you get from cutting the branches in different directions … so cool!! Here comes my math nerd - it’s like conic sections. 😃🤓
That rock that you found with all of those inclusions … WOW!! She’s a beauty! Go Mother Nature. And that pen from Rick Gibson is incredible. I’d love to buy a commission from him. But whatever, Rick, if you’re watching, you do some absolutely stunning work!!!
Beauty all the way around this week, as usual. Thanks Jim, I love your content!!!
Thank you very much! I was hoping he would chime in here. Haven’t seen him yet.
Good morning Jim! Yet again another beauty being made before my eyes. You work so hard...while I drink my coffee. Love the blue and ALL THAT WOOD! See you next week. Have a great one!
Thank you very much!
Excelent, you are the best in wood work, this world need more people like you. Thank you to have you.
Wow, thank you
Great job. I love this blue. My favorite color. Beautiful wood and color mix. Well done.
Thank you very much!
Another beautiful piece. My wife would love that shade of blue.
Thank you! Cheers!
I'm knot Lichen that wood 😜😜😜😜😜😜 now that's some funny word play 😉😂😂😂😂😂 Cheers to another cool project
Lol. Thank you very much!
Hi it's Peter from Newcastle in England I love the rainbow 🌈 blue that you use and another absolutely amazing 👏
Awesome! Thank you!
WOW! Love the blue against the wood! Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Hi Jim
You workshop looks good for the property sale.
The hollowform is beautiful & I agree with you that it is one of the best pieces you have made, although you seem to have a nake to out do yourself
every week.
Looking directly down on it, it looks like a flower .& the centre of the flower is so precise place to where the opening is! Blue is my favourite colour, so I am half sold on any piece by its blue colour.
It's good that you go over teachable moments -I learnt something new too.
Thanks
Many thanks!
Designer Epoxy Its a stunning beauty!
Couldn't agree more! Thanks
In my view, this is the most stunning, outstanding piece I've seen you do. The colour just POPS! The elongated branches remind me of Edvard Munch's The Scream 💙💙💙🇬🇧
Thanks so much 😊
Good morning Jim, so much for the shop staying clean, lol. Thanks for sharing tips on the cutter, great job explaining the process. Gorgeous piece, as usual. I agree, it's very, very cool. Keep on turning!!! Beautiful pen, lucky guy. Designer epoxy (p.s. still pushing through the commercials on all your videos)
Thanks for that, no commercials equals no Jim on UA-cam.
Amazing piece, the branches created a beautiful design ❤❤❤
Designer Epoxy
Thank you so much 😊
This effort is a beautiful project. Way to go Jim and this Designer Epoxy
Thank you very much!
Stunning ❤❤❤ looks like a 🌸 flower. One of my favorite pieces. Would be amazing with with any color. But the blue is gorgeous
I totally agree! Thanks
Another "Designer Epoxy" masterpiece for sure!
Thank you very much!
That is gorgeous Jim! The shimmering blue against the wood grain is stunning!
Many thanks!
I love how every week you manage to make another favorite. So happy you took the silver it really was seperate from the rest. The piece is so balanced without it.
Thank you so much!
A beautiful piece.
Nice gifts
Have a good weekend
Take care
I like that rock!!
Thank you! You too!
Can't wait to see this one, the picture is gorgeous! Thanks as always for the video, Jim!

I have to say, I'm really "Lichen" this! 😊
Thanks very much!
really cool and beautiful hollow form, looks like wood floating in water, hey designer epoxy!
Thank you! Cheers!
Absolutely beautiful! Blue is my favorite color so this is doing it for me. Love your work, wish I could afford one of your art pieces but watching you create them is almost as satisfying. Appreciate all of your hard work. ✌🇨🇦🔵🔵💙💙💙
Thank you so much!
Loving the blue. The hint of silver on the top ties into the piece, as you said, perfectly, Jim. Simply beautiful.
