Woodturning - Golden Rain Burl (The Most Beautiful Wood I Have Ever Turned)
Natural Edge Hollow Form.
In this woodworking video I use a woodturning lathe to turn a piece of laburnum burl, (golden rain burl) into a natural edge hollow form.
When woodturning a piece like I find it important to nibble away at it until I see what shape the wood wants to be, this is what is so enjoyable about woodturning. big log to bowl (little bowl) but i find removing the wood in layers allows me to find the best possible shape.

UNBELIEVABLE!
Cheers 😊👍🏻
Wahoo!!!!!’
His Doctor. "So apparently after years of splinters being fired at the bottom of his hand, all the particles imbedded and turned the whole thing into wood."
Good for a thimble.

There is something very satisfying in the knocking, clacking, rattatat tatting, sizzling, whirring, and humming of the tools and machinery. I appreciate that you didn't dub this with music or rush us through the process or overwhelm the work with words. It is a stunningly beautiful piece of wood, and you brought it out into the light.
God is good.
Thanks Dodie, glad you enjoyed it man. I agree, music can spoil the atmosphere. 😁👍🏻
I agree. I could sometimes just listen to the audio of it.
I used to work for a community banking company that celebrated Arbor Day each spring by giving away about 3000 seedling trees to the public as a PR event. Over the years, we gave away Green Ash, Red Bud, Hawthorn and Golden Rain seedlings.This project ran for at least 25 years and probably netted upwards of 7 to 10 thousand new trees in our community assuming about 10 to 15 per cent actually were planted and grew. I think the project ended in the late 1980s so the youngest of these trees would be over 30 years old by now. Since we featured Golden Rain trees every three or so years there is an abundance of mature examples of this species in my hometown and each time I visit, I see them everywhere. Really an unusual and attractive tree in an urban setting. The yellow flowers in June, followed by the tawny-colored lantern seed pods and small, dark green leaves make this a very special tree. To know its wood is so decorative makes me feel really glad I helped bring a large number of these great trees to my old home town.
Wow! What a fantastic idea. If only every town had the initiative to follow in these footsteps. Society grows rich when men plant tree’s of which they will never feel the shade. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
You edit out the stops along the way, I love to see the wood develope. For me, seeing the lathe spin down and taking a good look at the piece is much more entertaining than watching a blur with shavings flying off. I love your pieces, just great work. I was kinda saving that comment from past videos, when you switched to hallowing and I saw the grain pattern, holy cow. That is a lottery win piece of wood.
Hi William, thank you for the constructive feedback.. I realise now that I have missed out that aspect in this video. It good to know what the viewers enjoy about my videos and what you’d like to see more of. I will definitely keep this in mind while editing future videos.
Thanks for the kind words and I hope my coming videos are more enjoyable to watch.
Jack.
WHAT. The shot with the chips flying right into the camera was the best shot! Like, WHOA man 😲🥴 SICK!
I both agree and disagree with this. I've seen videos that was satisfying just watching it shape on the lathe then they stop and the grain is beautiful, the imperfections add to the beauty and then they keep taking away from it and I get disappointed until the end. For me I prefer watching it spin and see the chips flying as it shapes. That's very mentally satisfying and relaxing. Then just catching glimpses here and there until the final polish and finished product add to the satisfaction. But as I mentioned I also agree and love seeing how the grain looks while it's getting its shape.
I agree.
I agree. I really like seeing when someone is turning a piece of wood has a lot of personality & live edging in all kinds of shapes and directions. Seeing the progress and even hearing the one turning talks about what is going on inside their head, how the wood is reacting, etc. Just seeing a blur with shavings flying isn't nearly as interesting.
That's the most sensational graining I've ever seen on a piece of wood. Like silk paisley. Love the shape, too.
Nice one Rich. It was a good find 😊👍🏻
"like silk paisley" , said.
Pure handcrafted artistry. The talent must be as rare as that burl.
Wow kind words indeed.
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
A great hobby. Anybody who does not get some kind of creative outlet is missing one of the greatest pleasures in life. And you don't have to be an artist to get the full enjoyment of it.
True that Kermit. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning I'm probably wrong, but that looks like linseed oil. But, being a painter, everywhere I look, I see linseed oil. Nothing like the smell of linseed oil based paints.
Awesome grain. Love that you left the top opening as a natural edge.
Gives the piece tons of character.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏻
What few pieces of artisan turned wood i have purchased are burl. I love the random veins. This piece is indeed a real beauty. Almost has a marble look to it. Very well done. A true piece of art.
Nice one Ray. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😉
You are right that is the most beautiful wood I have seen on here.
Thanks Lynda. Glad you agree! 👍🏻😊😉
I could sit for hours just staring at the patterns in this piece. Beautiful!
Glad you enjoyed it King. Thanks for watching man 😁👍🏻
The grain of this piece of wood is absolutely stunning.
calling the piece figured would be a massive understatement. It is alive.
Great find wasn’t it?
Dude,
That is about the prettiest wood I have ever seen some turn. That is definitely a keeper. I don't think that piece would ever leave my house. If you take it to an exhibit someone might offer you too much to turn down for it.
A thought popped in my head while I was watching you sanding. A Sand-o-flex, with about 180 grit paper in it, would have saved you a lot of time and done a great job on the bark inclusions.
Great job, great piece.
Cheers buddy.. I don’t think they sell those over here in the uk but from the videos iv watched they seem pretty rampant.. I like to sand in a controlled, thoughtful manner.. you w
See people going wild for hours with power tools and attachments. If they used the right grit at the right time and be thoughtful about the sanding process things get finished a hell of a lot quicker and with a much better finish. I try not to show too much sanding on my videos because people seem to hate it.. for me, sanding is a world of fun. I love it, 😊👍🏻
Your design has complimented this so well. This piece belongs in a glass case at an exhibit. Can see you making a very good price on this. Stunning!
Thanks for the kind words John. I appreciate you watching 😊👍🏻
So far this is my favorite one, you have done. It has a natural opening, it is large and it has a foot. I love the colors and the overall shape.
Thanks Angela. Really glad you like it. Got some interesting stuff lined up for you 😉👍🏻
It's so so um it's um it's so um I don't know it's um I can't think of a word that would describe this awesome piece of wood.
I have to agree with you, truly astonishing.
Thanks Kip. Glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏻
Man. That grain is spectacular
It’s real is isn’t it.
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Absolutely stunning grain pattern, Jack you have done a great job showing it at it's best 👏👏👏👏
Thank you Douglas, I appreciate you watching 😊👍🏻
What an incredibly beautiful piece!! You have a gift for picking out the best pieces of wood! Love the burl!
Much appreciated David. This was a rare find! Thanks for watching man 😁👍🏻
My daughter is named 'Golden Rain' in my language in honour of this tree.
Beautiful craftsmanship.
Much appreciated Rialobran. It is a beautiful tree! Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
What a wonder piece of nature .
Couldn’t agree more Dave. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
Очень красиво получилось , структура дерева выглядит замечательно .
Your right, that is a beautiful piece of wood.
Is it the best you have seen ?
Another excellent project and what a beautiful buri looks fantastic thank you.
Thank you. I appreciate you watching 😊
Boy is that pretty. Nature makes the best art !
Unbelievable beauty. You have brought out the best showing the fantastic patterns of the grain.
Nice one Linda. Much appreciated. 😉👍🏻
Wow! I've never seen wood more figured. I have a golden rain tree, and now I know that it is not only lovely when flowering, but has hidden depths of beauty.
It’s a very lovely tree. It’s also toxic as you may know so be mindful of that.
I appreciate you watching 😊👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning I didn't know that, actually. Which part is poisonous?
All of it.. in particular the seed pods. But all parts of the laburnum tree contain a poisonous substance.. it’s not too bad turning it but you don’t want to eat, inhale or ingest any part of it.
Yew trees are similar.
@@JackMackWoodturning I guess it's a good thing it's in our yard - not out in the cattle field! I've never done anything with it except admire it and try to sprout new trees from the seeds - but had no luck. Thanks again for the info.
That you left the opening in its rugged natural state added so much to this piece.
Stunning.
Thanks a lot QR. Where are you watching from?
That piece is too beautiful to even begin to describe. Well done, you!
Thanks Michael. Glad you enjoyed it my friend 😁👍🏻
Beautiful doesn't even come close to describing this piece! The natural pattern of the wood is stunning!
Thanks Elyse. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻😉
Probably one of the nicest pieces I’ve ever seen. Absolutely beautiful!
Your work is so exquisite to begin with, but for some reason, this particular piece made me smile when you showed the final product.
Gorgeous, just stunningly gorgeous.
What a beautiful piece!
The patterns remind me of the storms on Jupiter
You aren’t the first person to say that. Was a beautiful find. Thanks for watching 😉👍🏻
At last a timber piece that doesn’t require litres of resin to make it look half decent. This piece is really stunning with the grain being highlighted like that. This piece is beautiful well done.
Thank King 👑 Much appreciated 😉👍🏻
Wonderful finish job pays the wood justice.
Thanks David. I couldn’t agree more. It’s essential. Thank you for watching 👍🏻😊
Exquisite vase, I’m so happy you didn’t add resins and shave the wood down to nothing. You brought out every aspect of the burl.again EXQUISITE. Thank you for your craftsmanship and video.
Thanks Donna. Are you a woodturner?
No, just enjoy watching and wood has a life if it’s own, especially left to it’s own.
I'm a sucker for the squat, organic forms! This turned out to be a beautiful piece. Well done...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Jake. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
Kept waiting for you to gouge into the wood but you were never going to do that. A master of your craft sir, well done.
That grain is gorgeous! I have never seen this wood before.
Thanks Rebecca. Yeah I’m not surprised, it’s very rare.
When the beauty of the forest meets the skillful hands of a craftsman the result is a masterpiece. Congratulations.
Thanks A. Much appreciated. Where are you watching from?
That is heartbreakingly beautiful!
Thank you Ron. Obviously it’s all Mother Natures work. I just let it out. I appreciate you watching 😊👍🏻
The intense grain patterns along with the wonderful flaws make this a beautiful piece, especially when you make it shine, brings out the depth. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful work!
Stunning patterns in the wood
It’s beautiful. Have you ever turned any ?
There is a Golden Rain tree behind my building. They are really an interesting tree. I stumped 2 tree companies, none knew what it was. Used to be a greenhouses behind my place decades ago, and it was the courtyard for the business. Very cool easy to grow very tolerant of extremes. Live in SW Ohio
Hey Lexi. Yeah they are a great looking tree. Don’t really see many around these days unfortunately. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning Hi..are these trees indigenous to North America and do you know where the name comes from?Absolutely beautiful wood...
Wow, that was mesmerising. Such a beautiful thing it turned out to be~
Thanks TG. Glad you enjoyed it 😉👍🏻
Hi Jack. You have an amazing gift in your hands ✋ I want to encourage you to keep creating your pieces of work, DREAM BIG. Valerie
Thanks Valerie. Do you do any woodturning?
@@JackMackWoodturning Hi Jack. No I don't but my Dad did, he made me a clock on his lathe and I love it so much, I just think it's an amazing gift to have and you definitely have that gift. It's just wonderful to see what the piece of wood 🪵 will become, it's so creative.
Woodworker: What gorgeous wood, light oil
NoClassKaren: it’s the perfect size, paint it pink
Haha. Iv’e met her a few times 😂👍🏻
Nature certainly knows how to produce a beauty the human could never aspire to - lovely job of releasing it
Thanks D. Are you a snowboarder?
@@JackMackWoodturning hahaha no my friend
I’m a 52 year old ex Sapper, ex Police sniper instructor and a man with stratospheric blood pressure because I drink too much and get angry too often 👍🏻😂😂
Absolutely Gorgeous. I love the way it came out.
Thanks Sally. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻😉
A Burl is a very expensive and rare piece of 🪵 and you treated it well.
The Large Vase and/or Lamp base is a very nice 👍💯 way of showing respect for the piece of 🪵.
Great job 👍💯👌! Well done ✅!!!

What an absolutely stunning piece of wood and what a beautiful piece you made out of it Jack thanks for sharing it with us
Thanks Wade. I appreciate you watching 😊👍🏻
Oh wow, wow, wow. Just stunning grain. Beautiful.
Thanks Margie. Are you a pilot? 👩✈️
@@JackMackWoodturning A pilot? No, just a fascinated fan of woodturners.
🙌😊😉
Superb piece of art. Would love to own and display it to family and friends.
Will be up for sale on my website soon! 😉👍🏻
That is beautiful wood, and a great job turning it too! Good stuff!
Thank you. Cheers for watching 😊👍🏻
I love Golden Rain wood. I have one of those trees and I've made small ornaments from storm damaged and dead limbs
Beautiful, almost the same figure and colour as 'Australian Cyprus Pine' I've haven't found Burls but the tree roots are much the same
Nice one Rick. I’ll see if I can get my hands on some. Thanks for watching 😁😎
I used to make jewelry boxes with wood from all over the world. This is the most beautiful wood I've ever seen.
Did you make your boxes on a lathe? Thanks Jack, much appreciated 😉👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning No. Multiple shapes, but none were turned. I'm too clumsy and accident prone to use a lathe.
must be nice to be good at something
You can be good at it
All work & no play 😉
Pleasure to watch that piece reveal itself
Cheers Paul. Glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏻
That is absolutely stunning.I hadn't seen or heard of the wood until today,it's amazing.I love the shape,it's perfect.That grain! Thank you.Seriously.I'm grateful for the opportunity to see new and beautiful things I would have otherwise missed.I love it.
Thanks for the kind words Jacqueline. Much appreciated. Glad you are enjoying the content. Got a load of great video’s lined up for you. 👀 ☺️👍🏻
Is it actually Golden Chain? Rather than "Rain"
@@markfreeland1027 Golden rain tree is Koelreuteria Paniculata, while golden chain tree is Laburnum Gyroides
Always amazes me how someone can hollow out a container like this... nice work and beautiful results!
Thanks J. What would you use it for?
Stunning!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
Nature is a far better artist than we humans.
Too true jaka
Wow, when it's polished, the grain is so golden it looks like Tiger's Eye gemstone...
Beautiful isn’t it. Such a lovely piece of wood. 😉👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning Very much so!
Very impressive. I love it.
Cheers Rick, thanks for watching 👍🏻
Iv been fascinated by these videos recently. So satisfying to watch. It’s Making me want to get myself a lathe
Do it! Happy to help if you do! 👍🏻😊
WOW 😳 it is beautiful 🤩
Thank you 😊
Stunning, love to own a work of art like that, a true craftsman to see the potential in the wood .❤
Stunning piece, Jack! Love the detail that you have brought out in the work.
Nice one Magic. Are you a magician?
It's gorgeous, you brought out the hidden beauty in the lump of wood, That's skill, well done !
Much appreciated Dawn. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😉
The grain of the wood is spectacular. I’m so glad you didn’t fill in with resin!
Haha me too! Thanks for watching Janie. 😉👍🏻
I could watch wood turning for hours. Always wished to give it a go
There’s no time like now and it is always now! 😊👍🏻
Lovelly work Jack, that;s a spectacular piece. Stay safe, John
Cheers John. Thanks for the 😊👍🏻
Leaving the imperfections just added to the beauty of the piece. Born again
Hi Gary. I couldn’t agree more. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
That is beautiful. Love the shape.
Thanks a lot Koff. Glad you enjoyed it 😁👍🏻
Absolutely gorgeous. Love the shape. Beautiful grain, exceptional color. Masterpiece.
Nice one Judit, much appreciated 👍🏻😉☺️
This one i sSTUNNING!! The natural color of the burl, is amazing. U r gift is so rewarding to watch!! Merry Christmas from Colorado!!
Merry Christmas J. Thanks for watching 😉👍🏻
Certainly agree with you about the timber. Stunning.
Thanks Robert, I appreciate you watching. 😊👍🏻
What I love about turning irregular pieces like this is that you just never know what is in there. Yet...it was always meant to be. The mystery.
It’s a wonderful thing is it not. You do much turning?
@@JackMackWoodturning Not in many years. No longer have a lathe, but the craft always fascinates me and your work and videos are really really good!
Thank you. I’m glad you can still enjoy it. 😊
Worthy of any kings TREASURE.
Thanks a lot John, much appreciated 😊👍🏻
Another beautiful piece.
Cheers Randy 😊👍🏻
Lovely. Although this spectacular piece is a very elegant shape, I keep wanting to enjoy the inside surface as well. The narrow lip deprives me of that. Its insides are a hidden mystery. My practical self wants to see and experience it as more than a pretty rock to admire on a shelf.
I want it all!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Renee, I understand your point. I feel this is why we sometimes decide to turn a hollow form over an open vessel.. in this way you can capture the whole range of the wood.. the curve showed the grain of the burl from the side of the grain and across the grain as your eye moves from the side of the piece up to the top. It also shows the continuation of the natural form rather than just seeing a pretty bowl with still see a piece of nature but in a form that will last as a beautiful object for generations to come.
I’m forever fascinated by the concept that any one piece of wood can become an infinite amount of finished pieces depending on hot the wood turners chooses to approach the piece. There is no right and wrong. Just lessons to learn for the next piece you make. 😊
Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Just starting out wood turning. I can only pray I am half as good as your talent after practicing.Thanks for sharing your talent.
Nice one Tim. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Absolutely Other-Worldly gorgeous wood. Well done!
Nice one B! Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
The Most Beautiful Wood I Have Ever Turned - Not going to argue with that statement, amazing beauty in the material, and the turning's not too bad either ;)
Cheers David. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Wow!!! What gorgeous wood. Great job...
Thanks. I feel lucky to have such beautiful wood available.
My grandpa used to turn tree knots into tables. They are some of the coolest things I've ever seen.
Nice P. Do you have any pics?
Amazing work!
Thanks. Cheers for watching 😊👍🏻
Oh my ! Super beautiful piece of wood. The grain is just out of this world. Thank 😊 for taking us on this journey.
Cheers Jose . I appreciate you watching. 😊👍🏻
Absolutely stunning. Has multiple exquisite patterns that remind me the best polished Malachite pieces I've seen.
Do you have a website or on-line store?
Thanks for sharing your art- Jeff
Hi Jeff. Not at the moment. I am hoping to set something up next week! Thanks for watching man 😉👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning Please let me know when you do and how to reach you. Thx
MASTER CRAFTSMAN!!!!! Breathtaking work!
Watching this mesmerizing video is a lot more calming and healing than the highest priced psychotherapist... and a whole lot cheaper, too! Thanks, Dr. Jack!
Haha no problem at all Dean. Happy to help 😉👍🏻
Fantastic
Nice one Mary. Thanks for watching 😉😊👍🏻
That is definitely a beautiful piece of wood! I like that you left some of the darker areas in this composition. It compliments the amazing grain of this burl. Great job Jack
Thanks Alex. It was a lovely piece of wood 😊👍🏻
It's a jewel... great job!
It really is.
Thanks, I hope I did it justice. I appreciate you watching 😊👍🏻
Love the schnauzer dog pattern on the table top. Beautiful little table..

Dittos on all the praise you got for your workmanship and the beauty of the final product!
I did have a tech question though. At around 8:40 or so, you are using what appears to be a powered chisel. Who makes such a thing and may I ask where one might find one of these?
Thanks mark. The one I have is sold by Axminster tools. I’d certainly NOT recommend it. It fires random blobs of black grease onto the workpiece every now and then. I’m on the process of trying to find a good quality one. When I do il post it on here. If you find one in the mean time I’d love to know which one you select.
Cheers for watching 👍🏻
In Germany I heared that golden rain was called "europäischer Palisander" wich vould be translated to "European Rosewood' back in the days. Definitely a fitting name for such a wood. Got my hands on some my self and it is my little treasure togethee with some other truly special woods.
Fascinating to see a skilled worker demonstrating his ability. Question, isn't it a little dangerous when you're shaving into the centre of the wood? I'm almost nervous watching, half expecting the tool to jerk and cause injury...I would imagine it's easy to break a finger. Great videos, very satisfying to watch, I'm just curious at the level of potential injury involved (well, the fearful sadist in me is!).
Thanks for watching, yes there is always a chance of that.. woodturners call that a “catch” but knowledge, experience and muscle memory are all foundations for what people refer to as “skill”
I feel the same when I see an F1 driver flat out or a gymnast doing 3 flips and and spin yet landing on their feet.. if a novice was to attempt the same things as an expert the outcome would be very different indeed.
😊👍🏻
Wow absolutely WOW!! BEAUTIFUL!!
