Cherry Burl Hollow Form - 4 Ways Collaboration

I demonstrate turning a small hollow form of cherry burl. “If it won’t hold soup, it is art!”

That new powermatic is dreamy!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Best midi I have ever turned on for sure.

[@RichardRaffanwoodturning]

Great to see two approaches to not disimilar bark intrusions: you go through where as Sam doesn't. Just what we hope for in a 4-Ways project.

[@kengunnell6398]

Love how you showed off the imperfections and use and note them at the beginning

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks. A fun turn that turned out even better than I hoped for.

[@oldgeezer1746]

Very nice piece of work Mike. Classic shape. Love the bark inclusion. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂 Now on to the other three.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@randywood4782]

Good job Mike 😊I like Thanks

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@gregwilsonnaturephotography]

Beautiful Mike, when I become a better turner,I am going to give this a go. Greg

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Best of luck!

[@gregdownunderinOz]

Great job Mike, always enjoy your videos, very instructional and you always show great tool technique and control.
Thanks for sharing.
Can you do a 4 ways using a piece of square plank timber about 30 mm thick. Can be cut and glued no segmented bowls, turned objects only with emphasis on using as much of the timber as possible and only from that one piece of timber. Creative designs. Finish of your choice.
This was similar to a recent club challenge we had.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks 👍 I can bring up to the group.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Great job Mike, love the see through inside feature on the wall of form

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thank you. I was very pleased how it turned out.

[@pjseiber2774]

Beautiful piece and great talent ❤

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thank you so much 😀

[@MarklTucson]

Very nice piece. That burl has some very nice figure. Really enjoyed watching your approach to this month's 4-ways project. Now off to watch the other three.

[@lutzvogt6362]

Very beautiful piece Mike, however sometimes handling was tricky but the result is amazing 👍

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Yes, thanks

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Love the choice of wood for adding interest to the final item. Do you ever incorporate the tenon as a stylish foot rather than cut it off?

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Yes. Incorporate so it does not look like a tenon.

[@ivanbukh7576]

Красивая вазочка! Хорошо , что оставлены следы короеда, они дают целостность картины!

[@kenvasko2285]

I think your design really compliments the beautiful wood. Gorgeous piece. I love working with black knot but it can be challenging. Love the included bark feature. Nice!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks, Ken. I think this is now my favorite hollow form.

[@kenvasko2285]

@@MikePeaceWoodturning I can see why it is your favorite. It checks all the boxes. You should be proud!

[@curtisalliston8958]

Thanks!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thank you very much, Curtis!

[@jorisdemoel3821]

That is a very nice hollow form indeed. It remains very interesting to see how the four of you create such different things from the same general idea. Do you have any safety/handling tips on not getting your tool caught in all the gaps and hollows? Did you have a reason (other than aesthetic, it looks awesome) to go with a hole rather than retaining the bark? Thanks for another wonderful video!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

In this case it was esthetics. I saw the possibility and went for it. If you are turning at an appropriate speed and using a sharp tool reiding the bevel, cutting air is not a problem.
