No piece has moved me more than this. Midway in, the ball looked like the Earth. Maybe we are just a part of grand artistic realisation.

You have turned that into a VERY BIG TURNUP!

This was an absolute labour of love! Finally, someone who did not turn everything into a round ball. Love what you did with the branches and how you carved the fraze out. Filling it with gold was great. Thank you for letting us be part of this work of art's process.

That stump was once an entire habitat, and now is a work of art. Lucky stump, to live two such wonderful lives.

I had to go back and rewatch that chipmunk at the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiobEG3ZyIQ&t=349">5:49</a> mark so many times to make sure I wasn't going insane. Clever editing!

So cool! Looked like a giant turnip when you started off turning it.

I've never seen such a mesmerising turning video. What an act of genius to turn the defects into part of the design. I can't praise you enough!

It’s beautiful because you made it, but doubly beautiful because it’s PURPLE! 🎉

The sign of a true craftsman is how well they hide their mistakes. Told to me by my high school woodshop teacher. Good job, looks great.

Very nice(* w *), I love how it just has its own shape because of the natural bend of the wood. Also the anticipation of what went wrong was killing me but I'm glad it wasn't too severe

I actually loved all the worm grooves that showed after you took the bark off. Then they were gone. I realize they didn’t fit into the overall piece. But I thought they added a lot of character.
