Mike is truly an artist! The way he mixes colors, makes different shapes work for him and then explaining what he wants to do and how he is doing it is very informative. I love his work and as a retired person on Social Security I'll probably never afford anything he makes. Just having the video is really a gift! Blessings Mike!

This is my third video in two days. When I first saw you cutting up that root ball, I couldn't imagine how that would turn out to be a thing of beauty since it seemed so convoluted and dirty. The outcome was amazing. The wood is spectacular and the fact that the resin filled in so well with no air bubbles just adds that extra pop to the vase. Beautiful job, thank you for yet another great video. I really enjoy watching and seeing the outcome of these projects. Wish I had a fraction of your talent. Thank you again, be well, be careful and be safe my friend, great job!

Thank you so much Susan, tree roots can have some amazing grain structure as long as you can get it dry before it goes rotten. I do love the way this one comes out. It's one of the few pieces that have always been on display at home, despite my mother-in-laws attempts to steal it 😂

So you start with a lump of wood that, in all honesty belonged on a fire. (It had so many bits of stone and soil that it would probably have been dangerous even to burn!) You then turn it into a thing of beauty that would look good anywhere! Congratulations, Sir! This is exemplary work!
