Appreciate the hard work, and I hate to knock someones piece, but in my opinion it would've looked better with a turned base to match the top and skip the texturing. Such an elegant wood should be smooth. As always thanks for the video John. Still a beautiful piece.
Thank you so much, John, yeah, African black wood is very shiny, and I turned some piece with shiny surface, so I want to try other form, and the most important reason is there are some cracks I cannot fixed, this method can cover some flaws...😅😅😅😅 Thank a lot, again.😀😀😀😀
It's a nice piece don't get me wrong but instead of just slathering it with epoxy, I wish you would have brought out the natural polish of the African blackwood. You did all that work just to cover it up. African blackwood is some of the world's most beautiful wood, all it needed was a bit of hard wax polish and and a buffing wheel, it would have brought out all the fine detail, the stripes of the wood would have popped. When it comes to beautiful wood like this you kind of want to stay away from epoxy. That's usually reserved for cheaper woods that don't have the durability like these hardwoods do. But still it's a beautiful piece, personally I would have kept more meat on the legs but that's just me.
Nice job of working with the defects in the blackwood. These things take hours and hours of work by hand. The reward is in the final product and getting to work with the finest turning wood in the world, complete with its sweet smell. I'm not a fan of the little decorative holes, though.
Thank you so much, Judeth, yeah, African blackwood is very shiny, and I have turned some pieces with shiny surfaces, so I want to try another form, one more reason, this piece of wood has many cracks, and I could not fix some flaw, so...😂😂😂😂
I worked for years for a stair building company. I'm pretty sure we had a little bit of that in one of our lumber buildings. The boss called it ebony. We weren't allowed to use it though. Also...I was the only girl there for a long time. I loved building stairs.
Thank you so much, and yes, African black wood is amazing and expensive, but it's not the most expensive, because I know some kinds of wood are more expensive than black wood in China.😃😃😃
😄😄😄😄, the piece of wood had some cracks, I tried to avoid the cracks, and I thought this final shape avoided most of them.😄😄😄😄 Thank you so much, Tom, 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Very very nicely done and I totality agree with Pickle Tree Woodcraft comments...You are an artist that uses a wood lathe along with other tools to drew out your creations Thanks for sharing this part of your life with all of us..
Very eccentric I love the natural flowing curves, you’re much more then a wood turner, it’s like calling an artist a painter. You seem very well equipped with tools but I have one you need to add to your collection it’s called the “typhoon” it is a burr for carving and is so much faster then carbide or rasps for the straight grinder or dremel, they are made in many sizes and shapes and many shank diameters too.
This piece of wood is originally an offcut material with many cracks inside. BTW, most of the wood I use is offcut wood or dead trees left by gardeners.
Thank you so much, Joseph, the wood is expensive, but this piece of wood is offcut, so I can afford the price,😂😂😂. generally, the price, like this piece, is 80-100 USD, if there is no flaw.🙂🙂🙂🙂

I agree with you that the wood has amazing color and grain.

😂😂😂, Thank you so much, Anduril, 😁😁😁😁😁
This piece is worth somewhere around I'm guessing $600-$700
😃😃😃😃
Lot of hard work for a fancy pair of legs & feet ! Can’t wait to see the top of your statue if you extended your work 😙
😄😄😄, Thank you so much,🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Great piece, where can I find bigger piece 11x9x7? If anyone has it, I’ll buy it. No cracks.
Thanks. I bought them from China.
7:20 Awesome turning. I wish I had paid better attention in shop class
Thank you so much, John, 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Realy amazing your hard snart work❤🎉 😍
From india
Thank you so much 😀😀😀
I'd like it so much more without the drilled decoration. Not necessary with such spectacular design in exquisite wood.

Thank you so much, Ove, 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Wow, that project is eloquent. Well done.
Thanks a lot, Brooks, 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Is this the most expensive and exclusive type of wood in the world?
Thank you so much, and yes, African black wood is amazing and expensive, but it's not the most expensive, because I know some kinds of wood are more expensive than black wood in China.😃😃😃
@@gaowoodlab Could you say which type of wood are the most expensive?
wow where did that idea come from!!! great job!
😄😄😄😄, the piece of wood had some cracks, I tried to avoid the cracks, and I thought this final shape avoided most of them.😄😄😄😄
Thank you so much, Tom, 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Both beautiful and unique Gao. Take care and keep safe, John
Thank you so much, John, stay safe, 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Beautiful as always.

Thank you so much, my friend, yeah, I have some typhoon tips, but their diameters are unsuitable, so I have no used them,🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
It seems to me that this gimmickry wasted a great amount of precious wood.
This piece of wood is originally an offcut material with many cracks inside. BTW, most of the wood I use is offcut wood or dead trees left by gardeners.
Your ability to 'see' the finished piece inside the piece of wood and your ability to bring it out to completion is truly amazing.
Thanks a lot, Roy, 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Gorgeous pcs of Art
Thank you so much, Gaetan, 🙂🙂🙂🙂
I AM SPEECHLESS! This piece just blew my mind ❤️
Thank you so much, 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Good stuff
Thanks a lot,🙂🙂🙂🙂
Very nice 👍. Like to do a sticker swap
Thank you so much, Robert, but I'm in China, it's so far...😅😅😅😅😅
Once again you created a work of art. You are a sculptor with the ability to put life into your pieces.
Thank you so much, Kevin,🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Well done! Beautiful work of art!!
Thank you so much, Dan, 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Very nicely executed and well thought out! Thanks for the inspiration as always!
Thank you so much, 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
You are a fine artist! This turned out so wonderfully! Thanks.
Thank you so much, 😃😃😃😃
@@gaowoodlabHi can you tell me the name of the type of tree from which this type of wood is extracted?
Krásná práce
I have a flute made of African Blackwood. I like the finish you put on your piece better.
Thank you so much, 🙂🙂🙂🙂
What a beautiful piece. You have the vision to see the potential and bring it out. What would a piece of wood like that cost to purchase?
Thank you so much, Joseph, the wood is expensive, but this piece of wood is offcut, so I can afford the price,😂😂😂. generally, the price, like this piece, is 80-100 USD, if there is no flaw.🙂🙂🙂🙂
