I am not creative in any way...I just want to put a log on a lathe and do this. Just this. Sooo satisfying!

That is so beautiful.

Thank you!

I love watching these videos. They are so calming and I greatly enjoy seeing beautiful things emerge from raw wood. I come from a long line of creative people: artists, woodworkers, designers, but I can't draw a straight line with a ruler.

Thanks for watching! I find woodturning extremely calming, the only trouble is finding enough time to do it!

Interesting, different and not what I thought you were going to make. Nice job

This is truly one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. There is something peaceful in this.

That piece turned out awesome! Nice work!

Lovely work, thanks! 👍

Beautiful grain and shape

That's beautiful. I love the shape and resin.

Gorgeous!!

That’s a beautiful piece, unique design shape, next level cool 👍👍

Beautifully done, very nice. Thank you for sharing your video.

Handsome vase!

Fantastic piece looks beautiful good choice in coloured resin 👍👍👍

WOW! - That is quite unique and beautiful. Your original log reminded me of one I took about 40 years ago, slightly larger in circumference and height, which I sanded down and heavily lacquered to create a nice HEAVY stool, that serves well for sitting, or for propping your feet on.

Oh I bet that looked cool! I have some more large sections of this tree, maybe I’ll try that. But they’re so heavy that once it’s in place I think it would be a permanent stool haha

I was not expecting the piece to be hollowed out from that end. Interesting choice after creating that interesting epoxy job.

Very cool end product!

Love it. ❤️

First of your videos that I have seen. This is quite an impressive piece. The resin certainly made it safer!

I have always thought that a vase needed to be bigger in the bottom to be able to stand up when putting a load of flowers in them. Maybe that isn't the issue with vase made of wood! Unless lining them with glass or resin they probably aren't water proof and can't contain other things than twigs and grass - which can be so lovely! So the shape of this vase was surprising and with the silvery resin it looks stunning! Well done! 🤩❤❤❤👍

Very beautiful objet ! Nice work sincerely !!! Good day and hello from France !

amazing dear

I believe inside milling is tough n delicate. But a well made.

What do you call that plastic measuring device you used to mark the centre of the log when you first started?

Nice

nice piece, I would suggest though that you get the bigger jaws for that chuck so that when you turn a large piece it is more secure.

Yeah I’ve been thinking about a new chuck altogether, this ones let me down a few times. Any recommendations?

@@CookWoodworks I believe you actually have the same chuck that I do, but i got another set of jaws with mine that go to 4 inches. I have had good luck with just using bigger jaws, although if you are going to look for a new chuck as a whole I have heard good things about one-way chucks. And i have used some newer novas that worked well. I would personally just go with bigger jaws on your current chuck and always make sure you have a good tenon, as that would be much cheaper than a new chuck and jaws.

Hey Drew, loved this one brother! That was quite the labor of love but, it turned out amazing!

Fantastic...really fantastic! May I ask yuo some question? What's the speed you use for working big logs? And how many times did you have to sharp your tools to end a job like this? I'm a beginner and find great difficulties working big logs...thanks for answering and for sharing! See you soon!

Thanks for watching and all your support, happy to answer questions! Most of the time I had the lathe at the slowest speed of about 350 RPM. Later I was able to speed up to about 600 but it still wobbled. I sharpened my tools probably 5 or 6 times, but the wood was still green so I didn’t have to sharpen as often as usual

Lovely piece! Seems like you only used half of the wood, however.

I too was dealing with a massive "log" while watching this

Great work! Which hollowing tool do you use?
