Woodturning - Gigantic Burl to Wooden Bowl
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ค. 2022
- In this woodturning video, I will transform a giant kiln dried oak burl / burr into a huge wooden salad bowl with additional feet carved to the bottom of the bowl. Projects, sized like this needs time and patience as you can only turn at a very low speed on the wood turning lathe until is rough turned. I also used my one-way coring system to ensure I can reduce any wood waste an maximise the burl’s potential to make more than just one wooden bowl. Happy Watching 😊

When you first put that burl on I thought it was going to wobble your whole workshop not just the lath! 🤣 Well done for creating a beautiful masterpiece from that giant burl! 😍👍👀🍊🥇
Thank you. 😀Certainly was a little challenge to the lathe and even to the workshop 😅 but it was crying out for a big project like this so had to give it to him 😅
,,,
Wow. That was an incredibly well figured burl. Just beautiful.
Beautiful burl. I’m so glad you cored it and go another beautiful blank out of it. Great job with the larger money bowl. It came out even more gorgeous than I was expecting it to come out. Well done.
Thank you. Burls are simply incredible, certainly one of my favourite wood to work with. I was concerned how it will look as has plenty of worms holes but did not majorly effect the end result
Stunning piece thanks for sharing your videos with me !
Que hermosura y las herramientas, increíble!!!!👏👏👏💖💖💖
Hi from Russia! Wonderful! Bravissimo!! Превосходно!!!
Thanks so much 😀
Love this.
Gorgeous ‼️
Glad you scooped out another bowl blank.
Thank you so much :) I am glad you like it! Core savers are ace and can save the great wood
Absolutely gorgeous
Thank you! Cheers!
Definitely most creative at finishing your bases on each project
Thank you so much 🙂
Beauty
Gorgeous!
Thank you😀
Fantastic work making that beautiful bowl, would look great with faux fruit in it. The part that came out could be the next project for you to get ideas for it. Thank you for sharing with us.👍🏻👁👁🧓🏻🏆👑
Thank you 😀 Absolutely, already planning something for the small blank 😀
Gorgeous burl bowl David.
Thank you so much :) I am glad you like it!
That is absolutely beautiful. I can't wait for you to turn the core.
I really like it! Good job!
It's amazing what's in the wood once you bring out it's beauty.
Very true. I always amazed what is hidden underneath barks/stains etc especially when the oil finish can go on it worth every penny 😀
Thanks Harry, gee that burl looks pretty hard. Awesome. Ernie smith from brisbane Australia
Thank you. Burls are simply incredible, certainly one of my favourite wood to work with.
Beautiful piece of artwork.. thanks
I loved how you kept the rustic nature of the bowl. The first coat of finish is always thrilling to see!!
Thank you so much Elle 🙂
I love how you can bring out the beauty of each unique piece of wood. Amazing!
Thank you so much 😀 Burls by far my most favourite woods they never fail to amaze me :)
Only a true artist can look at a hunk of wood that isn't so attractive and turn it into something beautiful. Well done!
Thank you so much Brooke really appreciate!
Amazing
Thank you 😀
From a humble piece of wood to amazing work of art!!!
Thank you. Burls are simply incredible, certainly one of my favourite wood to work with.
Very Nice, GOOD JOB
Thank you so much 😀
So beautiful👌👌❤❤
Thank you so much :) I am glad you like it!
śliczna misa, gratuluję
Dziękuję Ci
That’s lovely. I do like to see the first coat of finish bringing out the beauty of the wood 🌞
Best part putting the finishing on 😍
Nice job!!!👍👌👏👏
Thanks
Great masterpiece David!!! Beautiful
Thank you so much :) I am glad you like it!
That is an amazing burl and a gorgeous bowl!
Thank you Carol much appreciated 😀
Отличная приблуда, хорошая работа
Спасибо
Beautiful bowl! Love the wood grain.
Nice work!
Thank you. Burls are simply incredible, certainly one of my favourite wood to work with.
Lovely work - gorgeous seeing the finish going on - cheers!
Thank you so much 😀
That's a pretty hefty bowl. The oil you brushed on at the end just soaked right in! The coring system is just amazing. You get a whole extra bowl out of it! Another beautiful one, David!
Yes the coring system is a winner each time. Saves so much nice wood :)
Love it. It's beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers! Burls are never fail to amaze me and the audience
They have a vintage look. Just love.
Those feet were absolutely perfect for that bowl!! Nice job!
Thank you so much :) I am glad you like it!
Top piece David. Judging by the dust it was a hard piece to turn. Stay safe, John
Thanks John :) Right the outside was fairly punky due to the worm infection but the core is certainly tougher to turn. But always a pleasure to turn burls as they compensate for any hard work when you pop the grain :)
Amazing bowl. Looked really difficult to make too! Great piece and great video :)
Thanks Martin :) Right the outside was fairly punky due to the worm infection but the core is certainly tougher to turn. But always a pleasure to turn burls as they compensate for any hard work when you pop the grain :)
Hi David it's great to see yougetting another bowl cut out of the main bowl, the grain in the wood is fabulous and the marks left by the bark are fantastic. I like the bottom of the bowl it's really cool and the finish you used really brought everything out and made it shine lovely. Congratulations on a fab bowl. Amanda
Thanks 👍
Fab! now u need to make a matching one with the core u took out lol
Thank you so much :) I am glad you like it!
Man you are so talented I mean I just would know where to start how to to make it look good and on top of that I would probably lose a hand
Thank you. 😀 Starting with small projects you can quickly build up confidence
when I saw that blank, I thought to myself, that is probably the most beautiful looking burl I've ever seen.. just a naturally almost perfect burl... I could just imagine what you were thinking as you started turning it...
You read my mind. This blank had so much potential and pleased how it turned out. I do not often come across with burls size like this
@@DavidsWoodturning .. that size and so solid. most of the big ones are rotted on the inside.. this one was perfect.. I've never seen one like it.. glad you cored it..
again, you did a great job all way round..
Great job with the Burl. Good idea with the core saver, you have another Burl video with that guy someday soon👍
Thank you! Cheers! Absolutely, core saver are a great addition to the arsenal.
Like a Russian doll. Make another, smaller one from the next core....
Amazing piece of wood, I was relieved to see it cored rather than turned into a pile of shavings! Have just subscribed, thank you for the entertainment
Thank you John. Core savers are ace. Have another great project planned for the small one 😀
A very special piece of wood
I didn't expect it to be from an oak tree
At first I thought it was a sea sponge
It took a lot of effort from you
It's a really cool video
Thank you so much :) I am glad you like it!
Never seen an oak burl that looked like this one did before you started!! Loved you cored it!! ❤❤❤👋👋👋
Very beautiful and you did an amazing job turning it!! I like it even more with it being a type of burl I've never seen!!
Enjoyed your video and so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you so much 😀 another project os coming up with the small blank, core saver is ace when you have a piece like this👍
@@DavidsWoodturning You're very welcome!! I've never understood why turners don't core more of their larger wood planks since they are just putting money on the floor in wood chips wasting the great wood.
@@oneshotme mainly because of 3 reasons. 1. They do not turn big enough bowls to make it worth it. 2. It is certainly an investment as not a cheap tool 3. Lathe is not powerful enough.
Hi David loving your talent ,i would like to be a turner too can you tell me what size and features i need to consider when purchasing a lathe
The amount of glee I had when I realized that you got a second bowl blank out of it was pretty high
Core savers are great investment 😀
Bu torna makinesinden bende almak istiyorum, çok güzel tasarımlar yapıyorsunuz
Teşekkürler
Beautiful piece of art!! Who makes your emblems for you? I really like that idea
Beautiful burl, are you going to make a set with the other piece.😘😘
Thanks 😊 Few months back made a similar project and did 3 matching bowls out of one blank so this time I have a different idea for the small 😀
Looks awesome Sir. What was the grinder you were using for the nub and the feet?
Thank you. It is a proxxon long neck grinder
Is that an egg yoke at the end? Lovely job David!
Thank you 😀 It is an clementine 😀
Very nice work dude, do you have a great talent! Can I ask you what kind of finishing did you use for the wood? thank you
Thanks Andrea. It was only food safe mineral oil. I prefer simple natural finish and mineral oil is great stuff
What tool/attachment are you using to grind between the legs on the bottom of the bowl?
It is a proxxon long neck grinder with carbide disc
The texture of that wood looked very different than I was expecting. Before you started sanding it down it almost looked like cork on the video. (Probably not in person though 😂)
You are not far off. At certain places it is rather soft/punky and looked like cork. But when the finish was applied the grain still popped beautifully 😀
I hope you are going to use the pieces you sawed off in the beginning.
Beautiful work! Where in the heck are you getting all these burls?
I have burl addiction so when i see them in ebay,marketpalce or wood suppliers i just buy them. 😀
Question. Do you use deck screws for the initial chuck?
I cannot honestly tell you. They are stainless steel wood screws that’s all i know 😀
Ok lol was just curious because I thought I noticed a star bit end to the screws. Figured it may be preferred or just used what you had. Great vessel BTW keep it up. I'll be watching future projects.
Karya yang sangat indah dari bahan burl, berapa ukuran dan harga mangkok itu
That bowl is a metaphor for life. the scars and imperfections don't make it ugly. They serve to accentuate it's beauty and give it character. So too , it is in our lives. Our scars and imperfections only serve to accentuate our beuty and add to our character as we learn from them.
Another Job well done. I'd finish out the smaller bowl you cut out from the middle and then give people the chance to buy them as a set or individually.
Yes the bowl saver it a great tool to have. When you have a piece like this burl you really do not want to turn most of the wood into shavings.

Hello I would like to know the brand and model of your trade-in tray thank you very much
hey, sorry what would you like to know? not sure what is trade in tray
@@DavidsWoodturning Excuse me, I'm French, I go through a translation site. I would like to know what you use at 7.20 minutes. I would also like to know the make and model of this tool.
@@Tomvellemans no problem. That is called button jaws. See link below: www.axminstertools.com/axminster-button-jaws-400mm-340957
@@DavidsWoodturning thank you very much
And happy Christmas
Завжди з цікавістю дивлюсь ваш канал, а щож воно вийде ?
Дуже дякую за перегляд і підтримку
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Are you going to make a bonus bowl with the piece you cut out? :)
Absolutely I can. If you have any idea shout out 😀 I don’t like simple stuff so challenge me 😀
@@DavidsWoodturning How about a carved lattice nested inlaid bowl, so air can circulate around the fruit?
Those burls seem really difficult. Are they as bad as it seems?
Well burls are definitely a harder than normal woods but not necessarily more difficult to work with. It is my favourite wood as never fails to amaze me how beautiful they can be 😀
@@DavidsWoodturning they do turn out gorgeous.
I did the same with Woodglut :)
Good for you
It’s Elm not oak.
Thank you. Took off the oak from the title. Do you like the bowl btw?
@@DavidsWoodturning definitely you done a good job 👍
@@DavidsWoodturning but in my option a high gloss finish suits this kind of wood better which has damaged by bugs and or slightly rotten. I find wood that has been got at by bugs can loss it’s natural chatoyancy and can look quite flat. It might because bugs eat the natural sugars in wood so it loss it’s formal lustre, I’m not sure. But that’s my 2 cents.
Who would want this much salad tho? Salad is gross and flavorless, even with dressing sometimes.
A horse 😂
That's an awful lot of work for an ugly bowl.
Well done Karen, you are the real one 🤟
Sorry but I think it looks quite ugly!
I wonder what bowl you would like.
