Turning a hybrid sphere from a red mallee burl and blue epoxy resin ... I was contacted by someone who had seen a picture of the sphere that the 'hybrid casting master' Heath Knuckles had made recently, and asked if I could make one ..I said I'd give it a try ...Thanks for watching.

@DrDumas6 years ago What I love, is that there are no micro- exact rules or specs to follow. You follow how you feel, as you work it and the emotion always comes through. 💝 6

@

@davidwilliams83873 years ago I do not have a creative bone in my body, I can't sing, draw, make music, or create anything with my hands, but that doesn't stop me loving a great singer, musician or artist just like it does not stop me marvelling at your skills and creations. It's only recently that I have watched anything like this and all I can say is JUST FABULOUS ...

@lucymorales17285 years ago Don't understand why people give you a thumbs down they just don't see the art in what you make

@

@7come11two6 years ago Wow. Beautiful. Original. Creative. Wonderful.
@

@matttallman39726 years ago the light is a good idea! maybe you could drill through the center of the wood down to the blue and then refill with a clear epoxy so that the globe could sit Woodside down and still shine light through? 5
@

@sjscreations26087 years ago You may say Heath is the Master, but your not far behind! That is beautiful and you have done an excellent job with the resin and lack of bubbles. Do you have a pressure pot? Congrats! Cheers Sean 7

@

@jonohoff7 years ago You are a heck of an artist sir. I love this piece! I aspire to make some projects like this one day! Question... how did you get it a perfect sphere? I see how you rotate it around in between the 2 wood centers, but to make that process work, you somehow got it a perfect sphere! Please share! ... 4

@Catherine-nb1xv5 years ago Oh my goodness, that is absolutely beautiful..!! 💙
@

@RealRuler21127 years ago Awesome looking piece, but I'm somewhat disappointed you didn't show how you made the blank. What you added to the resin to make it blue, how you got the wood to not float to the top, if you used a pressure chamber or not, what type of resin, etc. ... 6
@

@theflyingdutchman17896 years ago how do people dislike videos like this? 63
@

@dankom13106 years ago Gorgeous! And the light is definitely the best part. I would've added the light with a USB connect though... that would've made it PERFECT. 2

@

@williamellis89935 years ago Great project. I really like the pedestal and light. I'm also impressed that you only had to turn once to get a good sphere. Most turners need multiple turns. 1
