Woodturning Rotted Root with Amazing Grain

Video Description

Woodturning with roots is without a doubt my favorite material to create with. Every piece is very unique with the wood grain going in every direction. I picked up a large root ball for free from Offer up a few months back. It had been used as a decoration in someone’s garden and had been sitting out in the elements for years. It has lots of voids and rotted spots in it, so before making something big I decided to cut a corner off of it and make a small box to see how the wood grain looked and if it would be worth my time to make something with the rest. After a bit of a design concept struggle, I was eventually very happy with how this piece turned out. This was my first time using Clean Armor UV finish. I am extremely impressed with the result. I was able to finish this piece with 4 coats in just a few hours. Including wet sanding and polishing. This process would have taken me 5+ days with a more conventional finish. The Clean Armor stays in its liquid form until cured with a UV light for roughly 5 minutes, and is then ready for the next coat. I will for sure be using this finish in the future. The Clean Armor is definitely far from low cost, but the time saving aspect is huge. Thank you to Super Clear Epoxy for providing the deep pour resin for this video.
