Woodturning - The Wood Shavings Hollow Form

Woodturning - In this video I do what many have wanted to see. I combine wood shavings from my recent roughing out video and combine it with Designer Epoxy and some spalted maple to make a really cool looking hollow form. Along with that I also have a major announcement from Designer Epoxy, thanks for watching!

When you said something was missing, then brought out the spalted maple, oh, you were so right! It makes the whole piece pop: light with dark figuring, against dark with light. Great choice! I'm not surprised it sold so quickly.

I think you're right, Jim. It's the combo of Designer Epoxy, pressure pot and time that made it clean with no air bubbles. A super cool and interesting piece! I'd love to see another one with maybe a lighter shade of pigment, or maybe even clear, so that the wood shavings speak for themselves.

What a great idea to use the wood shavings. If you do another one, maybe don't tint the apoxy so the wood colors are more defined. The maple collar really is a great finishing touch.

I was thinking the same thing... like a clear epoxy.... and maybe do the rice trick to get the hallow before the turn that way you won't use so much ( but then again you get that bag stuck in the epoxy too. 🤔) I think this is really beautiful. It gives me sort of wood suspended in water feel.

I like the 3D effect of this hollow form. At first I was not sure about the colour, if I was to be honest, but it’s growing on me that’s for sure. I think is goes really good with the colour of the wood chips. I do like it best when it’s well lit from the top. It shows the 3D of the piece best, and it looks like calm water and the farther away the shaving is the darker it gets. It’s pretty cool when you see it with the best lighting. Designer Epoxy

So cool! The spalted maple complements the resin-and-shavings beautifully, I think because the spalting kind of makes similarly shaped marks in the wood to what the shavings show in the resin.

I love it! Especially when you had the light in it at the end. And that's a steal of a deal from designer epoxy! Gabriel sounds like a stand-up guy!

Beautiful! Love the maple topper that mirrors the colors in the form itself. Great job. Designer Epoxy.

I like the way the wood patterns in the spalted wood collar match the swirls of the wood shavings inside. Good call Jim!

I think that putting the spalted wood on the top was brilliant. And putting the gloss finish brings out the detail of the wood shavings. I like the shape of the bowl as well
