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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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??

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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! 💞

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

Beautiful work. Great Design on the Log.❤

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.

Well, what did you u find?

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

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.

Clickbait and the piece does not serve any purpose.

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!

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

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.

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!😍

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

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.

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

I enjoyed watching the video...😊

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

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.

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

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

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

Absolutely gorgeous! Love it!

Beautiful piece

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.

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.

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.

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..

Who else was waiting on a lamp???

It looks very beautiful and natural ❤

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

It still turned out gorgeous though your quite an artistic man

Voila! Fancy Firewood!

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

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!

That turned out gorgeous!

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

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

A work of art was inside the burned tree stump.

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

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

Absolutely gorgeous nature is always amazing with its natural beauty

Artifact found in this burned wood. Stunning!

That is beautiful! Would make for a really cool lamp stand!

Good work love it man God bless you

What can it be used for? Decoration?

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

im shocked how dull your chainsaw blade seems to be

I did too. That's messed up!

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

Very nice. Thank you. (Brave Turning.)

I was shocked just how blunt that chainsaw was

Beautiful!! I want one!

Nothing shocking. Clickbait.

I wont give you a thumbs up because I cant see anything shocking you found. Clickbait.

He definitely sees something that I do not!

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.

16 min of my life I'll never get back!

Just absolutely stunning.

Beautiful work of art.

I think it looks better without the shiny stuff you put on it

Talk about click-bait: "I was shocked by what I found inside"

the original piece of burnt wood was by itself lot more beautiful than the stupid looking vase

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.

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...

Awesome results. Thanks for sharing.

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

Yes, very nice ! Now if you'll just tell us what, if anything, was inside ?

That is beautiful. You should of left the black.

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.

So what kind of wood is that?

As soon as you removed the burnt bit's it lost all interest, the burn's gave it what it needed :/

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

Why take out the contrasting black that made it stunning?

Work of art.

Glad I watched even though you tricked us… I too loved the burned parts

It looked better with black spots, but nice video

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.

Absolutely gorgeous ❤

looks stained or painted not burnt

Should have left the scorch on there, hit it with a stain, then into a bucket of colored resin, then cleaned out the inside to make an actual vase

Silly title, beautiful piece.
