In this video I take a rootball, which I believe is from a rhododendron bush and after casting it in resin, I turned a vase. I would rather turn rootballs natural but if I had not included resin the piece would have been small. I believed this was a better way of flaunting the root structure.
Take a look at my store –

Hi Andy! Very amazing vase👍. Best regards, Hans 🍻🇦🇹.
Scary.
Very nice Andy but I still love the way your shop gets messed up with all that resin and wood
I get a weird three-dimensional optical illusion on the inside of the bowl.
That looks great, Andy. I really like the inside. I think your decision to use resin was the right one.

A resin project – on my birthday??
Thank you, Andy.
Happy bday!
Very nice.
I, for one, am very glad that you had to do it! It’s beautiful!
when the end of the power washer came into view, for a split second, i thought it was a flame thrower. awesome work as always.

I’ve never been a big fan of resin pieces but I have to admit this is a beautiful piece. 🏴👍🏻
👍
On the ground it looked like it was so small the power washer would blow it away or disintegrate. But look at that piece of beauty. Very nice. Love it…❤❤❤
EXTRAORDINARIO. Gracias por compartir.
Truly wonderful! Amazing work, Andy! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
This vase is lovely! What better way to repurpose something meant for the woodpile or compost than to turn it into a vase!
Wow, that looks like something out of John Carpenter’s The Thing in the thumbnail! Marvelous!
Looks fantastic well done. 😊
“Might be just the moment, but that’s a beautiful piece. It made me think of ancient artwork on pottery, albeit abstract, and for once the resin—with its balance of translucent swirls and its thickness—made it look like the main part of the bowl, with the wood being the pattern. I loved it. I would double your price on it.”

Rooted in extraordinary beauty, Andy, with the help of a bit of resin. THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR EMPLOYING A DISPLAY TURNTABLE! I’ve been encouraging (nagging?) you for years to display your masterpieces on one, and doing so enhances the viewing experience immeasurably.
