What was the point of using burnt wood if you just remove all trace of it? Looked good with the burnt patches before you ground them out.

So I watched the whole video. where was the shocking thing you found inside? Bunch of BS.

Where is the shocking part or is it just Clickbait? I’m glad I fast forwarded it.

Very nice. But I think it would have looked better if you left all the black burnt insides alone & sprayed it w/your golden color. All the indentation marks from the little hand drill didn't do it justice.

Okay, I loved this piece of wood... Past tense. You sanded off that beautiful black color.. yes, I know it was burnt wood, but it was SUCH a beautiful contrast to the blond wood, wasnt there any way to just lightly sand the black color down and left it?? Or maybe used a clear resin to make it shine??

Another misleading KZfaq video. I along with many others waited until the end of the video to see what the woodworker found in the stump but nothing was there. The title was coined in such a way as to make the viewer think something extra ordinary was found.

You destroyed the beauty of the wood when you gouged out the burnt areas. You could have just eased the edges of the burnt areas a bit to create smoother lines. Also the ‘design’ of your gouging was very poor. I’m sorry to be so mean, I don’t usually leave negative comments. You need to study art and design before you ruin any more material. Especially when you were brave enough to turn that stump, and managed a decently shaped vase-like object.

Looked better before you used the ball rotary tool. The burnt looked good.

Burnt and discarded. You brought back the memory of the tree with this beautiful piece. It is now immortal.

The finished piece looks good. I would have been fine with the black-burn in those hollows but this way looks good too. However, I kept waiting for the live electric cord or some other metal/drastic object to be uncovered ... I did not see anything that would have shocked me inside this piece of wood. While the turning video was good - the title was total click-bait!

That is a Masterpiece. It was hidden inside all along, and you coaxed it out of there. Amazing work!

No idea why people are complaining about the burned bits, you left exactly what was needed!! Its stunning, thanks for posting & for saving a beautiful piece wood...

Liked it a lot more with the natural inclusions and burn marks. I understand cleaning them up a bit, but drilling all the round holes in it took a lovely natural work to a much lesser level of beauty and art.

Well, what did you u find?

What I think about is , what has this tree been through all these years and it took a fire to take it down. Wow.

Clickbait and the piece does not serve any purpose.

Its nice but I really loved the black spots. Its your art so you can do what you envision. But the black was really nice.

I thought it looked really gorgeous before you took all the burnt wood of of it. Because on phone the non burnt part of the wood looked kinda yellow on my phone screen an the burnt wood with black w😂a With the black was gorgeous

Beautiful work. Great Design on the Log.❤

It was perfect in its free form. Now it’s just startlingly grotesque. Such a shame. 🌷

Why did you take out the burnt parts? They were gorgeous on there. Gave it character. 😢

Beautiful "YES A PIECE OF ART"! Don't listen to the negative comments! Stunning 😍 👍

Beautiful. Amazing talent. Very inspirational and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing

That which you "found" inside the burnt wood was your genius. A burnt stump turned (no joke intended) into a truly exquisite piece of art. The author of the "click bait" comment should be pitied; no soul attuned to beauty. His loss.

I loved the piece before it was shaped into is final artwork! The wood beforehand was strikingly beautiful! I was very happy with the final result as it shows that being damaged & still beautiful, doesnt mean you stop evolving. Great work! 💞

With my woodworking, I don't use any new wood. All reclaimed, salvage, and sawmill scrap. I don't take out any flaws or imperfections in the wood, I do my best to bring them out and accent them. I would have left the black from the burn, just use a brush to remove any loose char or dust. Shellac would have brought all the colors out.

Nothing shocking. Clickbait.

I don't get it! He cleaned out most of the burnt part, but not all of it. To me, it looks unfinished!!! Why would he clean it out and not put a clear resin in the almost cleaned out spots? It just looks tacky, unfinished, and sloppy. This is not a good example of this man's skill.

It is great. So what was shocking? Who gives a crap. You made a very beautiful piece of art and if others can't see it, it's their problem. Keep up the inspiration!😍

Who else was waiting on a lamp???

That is art in the eyes of one who Does it. That is absolutely beautiful.

It looks great and I love what you created out of the wood. You will always have Art critics who don't like something for one reason or another. Have a blessed day and don't forget to Enjoy Life. from Bridgeport Connecticut.

Umm, what exactly is it supposed to be? I too think you should have left the black burnt color. Would have been a nice contrast.

So, what did you find inside that justified your teaser?

I can see the voids being filled with epoxy to really enjoy that beautiful piece of wood…

The difference between craft and art is knowing when to stop. This craftsman didn't know when it was done. By a long way...

Love woodworking. That’s a beautiful piece to cherish ❤

I would have drilled out the center to run an electrical cord and then made it into a really cool lamp base. That would have given it practical application and light would shine on the art base forever. As a stand-alone piece of art, it's cool but it could have much better practical application.

May I ask the species of tree this was? That yellow wood reminds me of old furniture of my grandmother's. Maple? It's fascinating watching you transform it into something beautiful. Although the original piece was beautiful, too.

Beautiful piece. I love watching wood turning, it's so therapeutic. I've tried it myself before. It's not easy. Well done.

What you found was people that watched your video, good work on that part ! Video 'wood' have been spectacular had you made a lamp?... Vase?.. Plant pedestal? Anyway, you accomplished a view.

It looks nice, but what’s special about it? It’s not even hollowed out to use as a vase so it’s just a shelf place holder. I like wood pieces with a little more functionality than looks.

The case would have been more interesting if the burnt places were left, maybe filled with a clear resin than turned into a usable vase.

Mesmerizing indeed. During the process kept wondering what would be the outcome. Shockingly Excellent!

Absolutely gorgeous! Love it!

It looks very beautiful and natural ❤

Given the cracks burnt look of the vase, I thought I would have gone for an over all darker, gothic looking color scheme. This could have been a horror movie prop if done right. I feel like this should have looked like the vase of some dark spirit or evil demon..

I enjoyed watching the video...😊

Amazing! No need for the clickbait title though. Just upsets people. But I understand the temptation because you get more views and make more money but people don’t like it (obviously). But still a very cool piece! God bless.

Beautiful...! You made that look too easy.!

Good work love it man God bless you

Beautiful piece

Can not say I am shocked by what you found, but very beautiful just the same!

Absolutely gorgeous nature is always amazing with its natural beauty

I did too. That's messed up!

I'm sitting here wondering why, you never turned or drilled the center out? To me, it doesn't look completed, it looks like the turner was either afraid or not confident enough in their turning abilities. As it is, it looks like it isn't finished!

So what kind of wood is that?

More click bait. No surprise inside. Never even bored out the inside.

What can it be used for? Decoration?

I think it’s beautiful just the way you did it!

Click bait .

The burned tree stump was beautiful, what a waste. Nature is always a better artist than human.

looks stained or painted not burnt

Now it will still stand and be beautiful for many more years. It’s cool that you saw that inside a burned piece of wood, because the rest of the world would throw it back in the fire, but NOT YOU. How cool is that!

It still turned out gorgeous though your quite an artistic man

It looks like a waste of time.

Voila! Fancy Firewood!

Very nice. Thank you. (Brave Turning.)

That turned out gorgeous!

That must be one helluva strong lathe cos that hunk of wood was huge!! I expected to see the wood go flying across the room when he turned it on!!!

I thought we were going to see a cooked squirrel in that burn hole !

Well congratulations, you successfully ruined a beautiful black unique piece of natural, wood sculpture.

I didn't fast forward, I expected something. Click bait. Cheers Rosemary Western Australia 73yrs

Wow, you found wood inside! I'm shocked as well! Wait...

He definitely sees something that I do not!

Beautiful. At one point it reminded me of going to the dentist. Ha. Glad I watched.

Awesome results. Thanks for sharing.

Could've done so much with this, the black contrasted so well and looked even nicer when sanded and you could have used colored resin to fill in the spaces to make a proper urn at least. What a waste of perfectly beautiful lumber, do better in the future.

Was the surprise nothing?

this is so Beautiful. love it. jane in Okla City Ok.

Wood artist I knew did something like this, put a carved owl in the crevice. Too cool !

Beautiful, but I really liked it before you took the black off of it.

Artifact found in this burned wood. Stunning!

You have God's gift, you are born talented person, excellent job😊

Absolutely gorgeous ❤

Vc pegou uma madeira de um forato lindo! Pena que não soube aproveitar!

I was shocked just how blunt that chainsaw was

What a waste of time that was. Might buy it and saw it in hałf to see if there is anything there. This is on my banned list.

Beautiful work of art.

im shocked how dull your chainsaw blade seems to be

Have any of you actually seen burnt wood? Have you ever cut into it? Have you ever held burnt wood? This wood is the cleanest burnt wood I have ever seen and look at that shine it had, wow.

I moved it fast forward I expected you to make a tooth pick . Just bait for viewers.

Do you happen to know what species the wood was? It looks like Osage orange which is super dense.. which would make sense as to why someone tried to cut it off, then unsuccessfully burn it; it’s probably still wet.

Really should have left the black part from the fire that made it special.

I was shocked you took the time to video this as all I see is an unfinished project.

Whats the reason for burning the wood initially?

Just absolutely stunning.

While I agree with the other posted comments, which say this piece would have been better left untouched by grinder and other tools, I like to think that the creator had a plan that is unbeknownst to us. All said and done, it is a very interesting piece.

Silly title, beautiful piece.

Very beautiful it would look amazing on a table
