It's wonderful to see you back and well. Your videos have been a source of peace and refuge in these trying times. The adventure of watching a beautiful creation emerge from a formless chunk is entrancing.

Unbelievably stunning. Absolutely Gorgeous pieces. Very glad you are back David. Sorry to hear what happened to you. Glad you have recovered from it all. You haven't lost your touch. As always David your work is perfect.

Hi David. I am deeply sad to hear of the accident you've been through. But absolutely glad to hear that with God's grace you are well again. It's so nice to have you posting videos again, considering you are one of the finest artists in wood turning I've come across. Take it easy. Don't push the hand more than it can produce and gradually you will be back at 100%. Lots of love from South Africa. I'm a huge fan. Take care and God bless till the next exciting project.

Hi David....first....very happy to see your return and that you appear to have recovered fully....I sincerely hope you are well! Second....these pieces are stunning of course for your craftsmanship, but also for the rescue and reuse and the remarkable color (probably a product of the fires). Additionally, creating a live edge bowl is no walk in the park....check out the fine work of Chad Eames who makes it look easy. Lastly, I was born and raised in California and built a house in the Santa Cruz mountains.....this stock appears to be madrone as manzanita is very twisty and usually not as dark...but, I could be wrong. Best wishes and good health my friend.

I've lived in California for over 30 years, been through numerous fires, live in Lake County, just a couple miles away from several of the largest fires in history, and watching you turn that charred wood into something so beautiful literally choked me up, I have several pieces of burnt wood from the fires, I think it's beautiful too!! Well done, great works, I love them!

David, what a blessing to see you turning again! A year ago I had surgery for a severely torn rotator cuff and during my recovery my wife Beverly gave me a wood lathe for Father’s Day. While in therapy I began watching turning videos on KZread, and was blessed to find a gifted young man named David Adamsen making beautiful works of art from beautiful wood made by God - Awesome! I love your turning skill, info and choice of music; I have watched every video several times, and learned much. One day late last summer I’d just turned on one of your videos and our grandson Nathan scooted to the TV & began to watch. That may not sound unusual, but Nathan was born with Down Syndrome and Autism; he is non-verbal and although he is full of laughter, hugs & happiness, at 12 years old, he usually lives in his own little world to himself. Nathan rarely looks at the TV at all, but he was enthralled by the motion of flying wood chips, the sounds of turning & the beautiful music all together - he watched the entire video, laughing & waving his hands - and has since watched many. We have videoed Nathan watching your videos for 45 minutes to an hour at a time, and would like to send you a video of him watching you. My name is Bill Minson, I am a retired pastor in Tyler, Texas, and last fall when we saw no new videos from you, I feared you’d met with some tragedy (accident, Covid - didn’t know). The Lord prompted me to begin praying for you, and I’m so glad He heard the prayers (of many - I’m sure praying) and blended you to survive and recover from your fall. I’ve bowhunted for over 55 years and know the dangers of treestand hunting! We pray the Lord will continue to bless you to use your talent to bless many - we and Nathan are watching, God bless!

Merciful in deed, so glad you're back and well. You're loved and admired by many...

Gorgeous. What was meant for destruction only brought out the beauty in this vessel.....life lessons brought out by the hands of a craftsman~ Hope you're healing well! Glad to have you back!

What could I tell you that you haven't been told thousands of times already... Your works are absolutely beautiful, luxurious and very original. I find myself wondering which would be my favorite and until now I couldn't tell you why I have to watch many more videos. But I tell you that I am a genuine admirer of your talent 👍🌹🌹

Wow! I love how you preserved the dignity of the original tree. Outstanding piece!

I’m not one to leave comments on every video I see, but ... you made enough of an impression on me with this clip that I felt compelled to do it. What an artist you are! Also, as some have already mentioned, your explanations and close ups make the action jump at you and enjoy it so much more! Well wishes with your recovery and keep them coming!
