Any fellow, or woman, for that matter, who recognises that they don’t feel completely confident using a new tool, and goes back to the instructions, is a wise and humble individual, and a great role model. Bravo!
I doff my cap to you good sir for the bravery you've shown trying a new technique for the first time live on camera. Your sense of delirious terror did come across and I had a few beads of sweat watching the adventure unfold. The end result looks sensational, but I would expect nothing less from you my friend.
15:37 I love the sentence "I feel SLIGHTLY confident that I MIGHT be able to do it" (!) Followed by 16:23 "OK, I THINK I know what I'm doing" (!). And then go and check the video to make sure. Then you screw up your nerves and get stuck in! And by Gum, you only went and did it!! Well done Sir!! I know you didn't exactly enjoy the whole experience, but that's what it was... Experience! The next time it will be easier and the one after that will be easier still. Eventually you will wonder what you were so worried about in the first place! A great video, and it's good to see the toys out and getting used!
Thanks Phil and you are right, the first step is always the hardest and this is why I always try to take that first step on camera. Hopefully if gives someone the nerve to just have a go 😀
Wow, thank you for sharing your tense moments wtih us, I was hardly breathing, but it made it so much more instructional than just a perfect demonstration, thank you so much,andwell done! 👌
Absolutely brilliant vid. I always wanted to see the reality of a coring. All credit to you showing it worts and all...cos that's where most of us would be. Hasn't put me off at all,just increased intrigue levels. Thanks somuch for sharing.
The big bowl really makes you think about the tree it came from as you can see the rings where the branch erupted plus see and feel the bark. Great job, even if it racked your nerves! The smallest core made me think it could be a Christmas tree ornament with a picture inside or something more seasonal with 3D figures.
I am in love with that corer! It has a bit of a steep learning curve but with the results being triple the amount of pieces? Yes please! I used to be sad at the amount of wood turned into shavings, they do have their uses: carbon for composting, mulching flower/garden beds, adding grit to icy walks if you have nothing else, absorbing liquid spills, etc, etc. I do hope you choose to use it often, from a larger piece of wood you could make stacks of bowls and platters. Having hand crafted live edge matching serving bowls for fancy dinners would be luxury!
I was as nervous as you when you were taking out the centres. I could feel my nerves on edge lol. I was so very pleased for you when it all worked out. Well done! Practice makes perfect, so you will get more confident as you use it more. What I like most about it is, you don’t waste all that beautiful wood and can maximise your production from the same amount of materials. The finished article? Well, what can I say? It’s stunning, and I love the fact that it’s not a perfect round. The rough bark edge gives it such a natural look. I truly adore it. I never get sick of watching what emerges from a hunk of rough wood. I’m so glad you are back after the holidays. xxx
Gorgeous! The first core I was okay with, but I kept holding my breath on the second one... How cool that there are different ways to core lathe projects. The one with the most toys wins...😊 Congratulations!
Wow! You are incredibly brave to use new tools for the first time on an episode. Moreover, to do so using live edge wood which is not symmetrical is amazing. Hats off to you. I love the finished result!❤
There are several lazy cats in Cumbria who were rudely awakened when I cheered as you snapped off the second bowl. What beautiful grain, I love wood, you can’t beat the variety of designs created in nature. I love the smell of sawn wood too. Hate, absolutely hate, seeing a tree felled but, if it must be, it’s better to repurpose and make its life infinite rather than thrown onto an open fire. I say infinite as I have a coffer in my bedroom that’s about 500yrs old. Now there’s a thought, just imagine, someone still loving that bowl in the year 2525 🤯
Another great video. Beautiful bowl. Love how brave you are. That is what i like about your videos. Your willing to give new thing a try live on video.
Mike a beautiful bowl for sure super well done my friend, stick with the coring it's a great way of saving wood, I've cored hundreds of them. It does get easier the more you do, again a great video thanks for sharing, Kind regards From Will 👍
What a gorgeous large Natural Edge bowl! It will make a beautiful functional and show piece. I love the bark also💕 Practice will make you more comfortable using your new center saver. Thanks for sharing Mike.
My goodness, i have been on pins & needles (as the old saying goes) This is my favorite video ! And all your new tools ! You done Good buddy!!And more than one bowl from one chunk of wood.....and So pretty 😊
I’m so pleased you’ve gotten round to using a wood saver. I have winced at the amount of centres that have been turned to sawdust up till now. The smaller piece looks just right for a lid to another future piece.
That is a magnificent bowl. I love the live edge and the grain... a lot of times I admire what you've done but don't feel any desire to take it home. Not so with this one! What a beautiful piece!
As always a beautiful creation. My heart was in my mouth whilst you were removing cores, but loved watching it, despite the trauma, well done on learning another new skill 👍
I'll be right over to collect my bowl, thanks Mike 😊 Love, love, love ❤️ Very brave man 🤪 Thank you for sharing this with us. The end result is magnificent. Pink is also definitely your colour 😉😋🤭
What a gorgeous elm bowl. ♥ I was holding my breath when you were taking out those two core pieces... but you did good. And there's two more smaller bowls to clean up so you have a lovely set. Thanks for showing the whole thought process.
It always amazes me how shallow a recess you can get away with when using the chuck. It feels like it should be deeper, but you always manage to get it nice and secure!
Wow that was stressful for us - goodness only knows how you felt!!! Stunning result - well done 💕. I think that is our favourite ever - congratulations 🎉
Oooh, new toys! My goodness, it was an adventure watching those come into practice. While the result is absolutely gorgeous; love, love, love the wood, I’m really looking forward to those smaller cutouts being turned into ????
"I feel slightly confident that I might be able to do it" - words I say every time I stand in front of the lathe 😂 Great to see a center saver in use and a healthy respect for the tool. Would be equally nervous with it.
"I will use this again... but... not until the trauma has worn off. " 😂 You did great for your first time. Just go with the popular Bob Ross saying, “There are no mistakes, just happy accidents.” 😂😂 You did a great job as always! I love the natural live edge and beauty of this bowl.
A magnificent bowl, well worth the trauma! I know that feeling when turning some pieces. Great job and thank you for sharing the learning process. You certainly chose a challenging piece to core. I hope you show us what you make with the cores and how you deal with getting a tenon on them. Brilliant video.
Great video, great bowl and great guts to do your first cores on camera, something few others might do. Stunning result deserving of the work that went into it. Thanks Mike.
You're welcome Peter and thanks, I try things on camera for the first time in hope that it gives people courage just to have a go, it does not matter if it's perfect or even if you fail 😀
Another quality piece of Workmanship Mike always impressed with your presentation and explanation of each step , really impressed with the bowl corers, certainly does save time , great work once again mate 👍😎
Mike, Thanks for the new video. The bowl is really nice. The wood is very nice. To me, it looks a lot like locust wood. It does have a very white heartwood and cambium layer, which is a. Ery beautiful contrast.
Great job. Truly enjoyed watching you work through the process. Also, liked the occasional low camera angle with the shavings flying into the lens. Beautiful finished bowl. Thanks for bringing us along
Well done, Mike. Very brave of you. And what a stunning bowl you made, how gorgeous is that. Can't wait for you to finish the other two bowls. Thank you. Love the way you worked how to use the new tool and make a great job of it. 😊xxx
I love it, as soon as I saw this peice, when you first started I was like that's gonna be a beautiful bowl.. and I was right. Excellent job Mike.. I've shown your work to a number of people and they love them just as I do.. ❤
Very nice and big size live edge bowl. And good to see the way you use new tools, so recognizing. The insecurity that comes with using tools for the first time.. but you did a great job. 💪👌
Mr Holton … that was a very daring thing to do … a 1st time coring with us. I am so proud of you!!! I have always been a fan of coring and am constantly thinking of all the beautiful wood that is lost when turners dont use them WHEN they have large pieces of wood! Thank you for investing in one & using it!!!
That is awesome. Its great when you show new ways of turning. I think you should create a shirt. "I'd do that again Once the tramatic goes away." Lol Keep up the amazing work. 👽
I have definitely been looking at the McNaughton system. It seems like the easiest way to get into coring, but there is a huge learning curve. I think that most folks core out green wood to help it go faster and easier. Either way, heck of a bowl at the end.
Thanks Jeramiah, I went with this one as I did not want to be constrained by a certain shape I wanted more freedom. It was traumatic at the time but now I'm ready to try it again 😀
Always a good choice to read and re-read directions. Beautiful bowl and look foreward to seeing the cores made up! I have seen Jim from Sprague Woodturning reverse the core into the fresh cut and add a tenon on it.
Another skill to hang on your tool belt😊. Seriously tho, I love how you can bring out the beauty, and the story of that grain. You can see that the first few years were good, followed by a few decades of hardship. Sorry, cold and flu season where we're at and we appear to be in the cross hairs. OTC meds kickin' in. 😸😽😹😿
That was a terrifying but fascinating process. I have long mourned the loss of all that wood in the middles, and am happy to see that there's a doo dad to solve that loss. Such a beautiful piece!
Hi Mike, To start with what a fantastic bowl, the grain and the live edge looks fantastic. I like you bought one of those about 6 years ago, i used it a half dozen times and its been sat on a shelf ever since, frightened me to death!!!!, once i have sorted out my e-mail i will drop you a line, stay safe
Elm does give a lovely glow to a piece. This one looks like “The Eye of a T-Rex” when held landscape! Can you see it?! Gosh I love wood, Do show us what you do with the saved piece from it! Did I say I love wood! Just in case I didn’t…I ADORE WOOD! Thank you for showing us how the pro’s do it! ❤️😊🇦🇺🦘Yvonne
Any fellow, or woman, for that matter, who recognises that they don’t feel completely confident using a new tool, and goes back to the instructions, is a wise and humble individual, and a great role model. Bravo!
Thanks Jan, I really appreciate that! 😀
Had a good chuckle when you realized you needed to go back to the instructional video. We've all been there. Beautiful piece of elm.
I doff my cap to you good sir for the bravery you've shown trying a new technique for the first time live on camera. Your sense of delirious terror did come across and I had a few beads of sweat watching the adventure unfold.
The end result looks sensational, but I would expect nothing less from you my friend.
Haha thanks Andy, honestly that was terrifying! But I'm really looking forward to trying it again 😀
Great to see new tools be used for the first time. Looking forward to see the next time using coring system used.
15:37 I love the sentence "I feel SLIGHTLY confident that I MIGHT be able to do it" (!) Followed by 16:23 "OK, I THINK I know what I'm doing" (!). And then go and check the video to make sure. Then you screw up your nerves and get stuck in!
And by Gum, you only went and did it!! Well done Sir!!
I know you didn't exactly enjoy the whole experience, but that's what it was... Experience! The next time it will be easier and the one after that will be easier still. Eventually you will wonder what you were so worried about in the first place!
A great video, and it's good to see the toys out and getting used!
Thanks Phil and you are right, the first step is always the hardest and this is why I always try to take that first step on camera. Hopefully if gives someone the nerve to just have a go 😀
Wow, thank you for sharing your tense moments wtih us, I was hardly breathing, but it made it so much more instructional than just a perfect demonstration, thank you so much,andwell done! 👌
You're so welcome Andrea 😊
Yay! New year, new tools, new techniques!
Absolutely brilliant vid. I always wanted to see the reality of a coring. All credit to you showing it worts and all...cos that's where most of us would be. Hasn't put me off at all,just increased intrigue levels. Thanks somuch for sharing.
The big bowl really makes you think about the tree it came from as you can see the rings where the branch erupted plus see and feel the bark. Great job, even if it racked your nerves!
The smallest core made me think it could be a Christmas tree ornament with a picture inside or something more seasonal with 3D figures.
It took some courage and was completely worth it! 😊 Fantastic bowl, Mike, really splendid!
I can only hope that I will be able to come close to your level of craftsmanship. Well done Mike.
Thanks Michal, it's just practice 😀
I am in love with that corer! It has a bit of a steep learning curve but with the results being triple the amount of pieces? Yes please! I used to be sad at the amount of wood turned into shavings, they do have their uses: carbon for composting, mulching flower/garden beds, adding grit to icy walks if you have nothing else, absorbing liquid spills, etc, etc.
I do hope you choose to use it often, from a larger piece of wood you could make stacks of bowls and platters. Having hand crafted live edge matching serving bowls for fancy dinners would be luxury!
Haha thanks Nikkie, I'll use it when I think it's appropriate and am really looking forward to the next one 😀
I was as nervous as you when you were taking out the centres. I could feel my nerves on edge lol. I was so very pleased for you when it all worked out. Well done!

Thanks so much Lyndsey 😀 Happy new year 😀
Surprisingly, wood turning is not a hobby that i intend to pick up, but I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos.
Thanks Chris, I do the same, I watch a lot of blacksmith video's knowing I'll never try it 😀
Gorgeous! The first core I was okay with, but I kept holding my breath on the second one... How cool that there are different ways to core lathe projects. The one with the most toys wins...😊 Congratulations!
Haha thanks Shelley 😀
Wow! You are incredibly brave to use new tools for the first time on an episode. Moreover, to do so using live edge wood which is not symmetrical is amazing. Hats off to you. I love the finished result!❤
Thank you very much Jayne ☺️
There are several lazy cats in Cumbria who were rudely awakened when I cheered as you snapped off the second bowl.
What beautiful grain, I love wood, you can’t beat the variety of designs created in nature. I love the smell of sawn wood too. Hate, absolutely hate, seeing a tree felled but, if it must be, it’s better to repurpose and make its life infinite rather than thrown onto an open fire.
I say infinite as I have a coffer in my bedroom that’s about 500yrs old. Now there’s a thought, just imagine, someone still loving that bowl in the year 2525 🤯
Haha thanks so much and please apologise to your cats for me 😀
@ I shall
Another great video. Beautiful bowl. Love how brave you are. That is what i like about your videos. Your willing to give new thing a try live on video.
Mike a beautiful bowl for sure super well done my friend, stick with the coring it's a great way of saving wood, I've cored hundreds of them. It does get easier the more you do, again a great video thanks for sharing,
Kind regards From Will 👍
This is the most beautiful thing you've made to date, in my humble opinion. Congrats
Thanks so much Sandra 😁
I cant add anything that others havent already said.... love the bowl, love the way you explain every step you take, love your channel!
Thanks so much Carol 😊
Excellent job with your new tool. New can be a stressful. Thanks for demonstrating.
What a gorgeous large Natural Edge bowl! It will make a beautiful functional and show piece. I love the bark also💕 Practice will make you more comfortable using your new center saver. Thanks for sharing Mike.
Thank you so much Mary, practice is certainly needed 😁
My goodness, i have been on pins & needles (as the old saying goes) This is my favorite video ! And all your new tools ! You done Good buddy!!And more than one bowl from one chunk of wood.....and So pretty 😊
Thanks so much Nana 😁
I’m so pleased you’ve gotten round to using a wood saver. I have winced at the amount of centres that have been turned to sawdust up till now. The smaller piece looks just right for a lid to another future piece.
Thanks Edward, I'm glad as well, but they are not cheap! 😀
That is a magnificent bowl. I love the live edge and the grain... a lot of times I admire what you've done but don't feel any desire to take it home. Not so with this one! What a beautiful piece!
Thank you very much Jennifer, must admit, this is one of my favourites 😀
I can see why that's your new favorite--it's fantastic!
Thanks Dolores 😀
As with you, the live edge elm bowl is absolutely my favorite.
A one of a kind piece :).
Thanks so much 😀
Nice bowl, you were brave in demonstrating the new corer for the first time.
Thanks so much 😀
The corer is a great addition. So much beautiful wood can be saved and turned.
@@pippin1ful I hope so 😀
The new tool is a good idea. Normally when a bowl is turned 75% goes in the bin! Good result in the end.
Thanks Christopher 😀
It was enjoyable to see you go through the learning process on camera
Thanks! Hopefully it will give someone courage to have a go 😀
Live edge bowls are so awesome. Great job once again Mike. Bravo
Cheers Glenn, this was a whole lot of fun 😀
Love the grain . It looks so rich it would be perfect in any home. 👍
Thanks so much, the grain is just stunning 😀
I really enjoyed your explanation during your first use of the coring tool. Really great to see someone working through the process.
Thank you very much Regina 😀
As always a beautiful creation. My heart was in my mouth whilst you were removing cores, but loved watching it, despite the trauma, well done on learning another new skill 👍
Thanks so much 😀
I'll be right over to collect my bowl, thanks Mike 😊
Love, love, love ❤️
Very brave man 🤪
Thank you for sharing this with us. The end result is magnificent.
Pink is also definitely your colour 😉😋🤭
Haha thanks Fiona, I'll gift wrap it ready for you to collect 😀
The pink matches my eyes 😜😂
Beautiful live edge bowl! I was on the edge of my seat watching you use the new tool to carve that out! Success!
Thanks so much Lisa 😀
AGAIN; Just gorgeous! and I love that you have 2 more blanks!
Thank you so much Linda, me too 😀
What a gorgeous elm bowl. ♥ I was holding my breath when you were taking out those two core pieces... but you did good. And there's two more smaller bowls to clean up so you have a lovely set. Thanks for showing the whole thought process.
Thank you so much and you're welcome 😀
It always amazes me how shallow a recess you can get away with when using the chuck.
It feels like it should be deeper, but you always manage to get it nice and secure!
Thanks Kate, it has a dovetail on it so locks in place quite well 😀
Very nice, Mike. Always great to see what surprises lurk beneath a normal looking log...
Thanks James 😀
Wow that was stressful for us - goodness only knows how you felt!!! Stunning result - well done 💕. I think that is our favourite ever - congratulations 🎉
Thanks Janet, this was a very interesting experience 😀
Brilliant bowl, very brave using the coring tool.
Thanks John 😁
Oooh, new toys! My goodness, it was an adventure watching those come into practice. While the result is absolutely gorgeous; love, love, love the wood, I’m really looking forward to those smaller cutouts being turned into ????
Thank you so much Sylvia, I'll turn them soon 😀
Thanks for showing the coring. I’m new to the art and hadn’t see that done before.
"I feel slightly confident that I might be able to do it" - words I say every time I stand in front of the lathe 😂
Great to see a center saver in use and a healthy respect for the tool. Would be equally nervous with it.
Haha thanks my friend 😊
"I will use this again... but... not until the trauma has worn off. " 😂 You did great for your first time. Just go with the popular Bob Ross saying, “There are no mistakes, just happy accidents.” 😂😂 You did a great job as always! I love the natural live edge and beauty of this bowl.
Haha thanks so much Rosanna 😀
That coring system is cool. I always think that we waste so much wood by turning, but this saves some at least. Gorgeous bowl as always.
Thank you! Cheers Scott, we do waste a lot but these kits are quite expensive, you need to sell a lot to make it worthwhile 😀
A magnificent bowl, well worth the trauma! I know that feeling when turning some pieces. Great job and thank you for sharing the learning process. You certainly chose a challenging piece to core. I hope you show us what you make with the cores and how you deal with getting a tenon on them. Brilliant video.
Thank you very much Rachel, I am thinking of making a shorter video about how I intend to finish them but holding is sure going to be an issue 😀
Truly beautiful bowl Mike, the grain is stunning. Well done, looking forward to seeing the other two bowls. 💖
Very soon Margaret and thanks 😄
Great video, great bowl and great guts to do your first cores on camera, something few others might do. Stunning result deserving of the work that went into it. Thanks Mike.
You're welcome Peter and thanks, I try things on camera for the first time in hope that it gives people courage just to have a go, it does not matter if it's perfect or even if you fail 😀
Love the elm bowl. Gorgeous! And your new tools do amazing things!!!
Thanks so much Betty 😀
Thanks Mike 👍The hard work paid off in the end . Happy New Year
Another quality piece of Workmanship Mike always impressed with your presentation and explanation of each step , really impressed with the bowl corers, certainly does save time , great work once again mate 👍😎
Thanks so much Brent 😀
Trauma that was exciting I was on the edge of my seat,seen coring systems used before but always by experts.This was awsome.
Haha thanks, glad you enjoyed it 😁
Mike, Thanks for the new video. The bowl is really nice. The wood is very nice. To me, it looks a lot like locust wood. It does have a very white heartwood and cambium layer, which is a. Ery beautiful contrast.
Thanks Brysce you are right 😀
Beautiful result from a stressful experience...
Well what can one say apart from it's beautiful, keep on turning your my inspiration
Thanks Andrew, I will do my best 😀
It is such a beautiful piece! I especially live the grain and patterns in the wood. Glad you kept the bark on the rim of it.
Thanks Mary, I'm glad the bard stayed on as well 😀
@ You’re very welcome Mike.
What a great adventure with a beautiful end product! Well done and very enjoyable to watch. Think you
You're welcome David and thanks 😀
Core!! That was good 😅,lovely work Mike 🎉❤
Thank you Peter! 😁
The coring systems are interesting. Good job figuring it out and another beautiful bowl in the books
Thanks so much Eric, using that coring tool was almost fun lol 😀
Great job. Truly enjoyed watching you work through the process. Also, liked the occasional low camera angle with the shavings flying into the lens. Beautiful finished bowl. Thanks for bringing us along
You're welcome Jeff, I try to keep it interesting 😁
Tricky that was Mr Holton; to say the least! Your perseverance paid off though. The finished bowl though is absolutely delightful.
Thanks so much Stephen 😀
Absolutely gorgeous bowl Mike. I love that you left the bark on .
Thanks Rena 😀
Well done, Mike. Very brave of you. And what a stunning bowl you made, how gorgeous is that. Can't wait for you to finish the other two bowls. Thank you. Love the way you worked how to use the new tool and make a great job of it. 😊xxx
Thank you very much Elaine and hopefully next time I can do even better 😀
Can’t beat a bit of theory well done Mike
Thanks Barry 😀
What a fun way to make a set of nesting bowls!
It's gorgeous. I feel like I'm always talking about the grain but how can I not? Lovely stuff.
Thank you so much 😄
I love it, as soon as I saw this peice, when you first started I was like that's gonna be a beautiful bowl.. and I was right. Excellent job Mike.. I've shown your work to a number of people and they love them just as I do.. ❤
Thank you very much Mary, I really appreciate it 😊
My favourite one so far! Gorgeous!
Thanks Jan 😀
Fun stuff. =) I was pleasantly surprised there was no disaster in the making. A bit more practice and I cant wait to see what you are coring out!
Thanks JB, I was quite surprised as well 😀
Very nice and big size live edge bowl. And good to see the way you use new tools, so recognizing. The insecurity that comes with using tools for the first time.. but you did a great job. 💪👌
Thank you very much Wendy, I was nervous but we got there lol 😀
That is a stunning bowl. Well worth the twitching bottom, I think we all had when you were coring it out.
Haha thanks Mark, it was an interesting process and I found out the colour of adrenalin lol 😀
Watching the journey of this wood through the coring, turning, and finishing was so interesting. And the finished bowl is probably my favorite so far.
Thanks so much Lesa clad you enjoyed it 😁
Thank you for letting us in on your angst as you tried coring for the first time.
You're welcome David, we are all in this together 😀
Mr Holton … that was a very daring thing to do … a 1st time coring with us. I am so proud of you!!! I have always been a fan of coring and am constantly thinking of all the beautiful wood that is lost when turners dont use them WHEN they have large pieces of wood! Thank you for investing in one & using it!!!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it 😀
You are an excellent rolemodel for anyone learning how to use unfamiliar tools and equipment. Beautiful bowls.
Thanks so much Aleta 😁
That natural edge elm bowl is awesome mike the smaller bowls look awesome too xx
Thanks so much Joyce 😀
I have never seen a bowl with a live edge. Love, love, love it. The grain is beautiful. Lovely bowl
Thank you very much Pat
That is awesome. Its great when you show new ways of turning. I think you should create a shirt.
"I'd do that again Once the tramatic goes away." Lol
Keep up the amazing work. 👽
Haha thanks, I've made a note of that, it may just happen 😀
I'd buy that t-shirt
Beautiful. First experience coring takes a lot of guts, well done.
Thanks so much Paul 😀
Loving the bowl. Looking forward to what you with the other two bowls.
Thanks, hopefully I will sort them soon 😀
Well done with the wood saver. With a little confidence you will get some wonderful sets of bowls just pick one and go for it.
Thanks Damian, that's the plan 😀
I have definitely been looking at the McNaughton system. It seems like the easiest way to get into coring, but there is a huge learning curve. I think that most folks core out green wood to help it go faster and easier. Either way, heck of a bowl at the end.
Thanks Jeramiah, I went with this one as I did not want to be constrained by a certain shape I wanted more freedom. It was traumatic at the time but now I'm ready to try it again 😀
Splendiferous!
Great word and thanks 😀
Always a good choice to read and re-read directions. Beautiful bowl and look foreward to seeing the cores made up! I have seen Jim from Sprague Woodturning reverse the core into the fresh cut and add a tenon on it.
Thanks Kathy, I would have done this with the cores but a live edge would not sit flat 😀
Beautiful bowl. I particularly like the natural bark edge.
Thanks Dean, I love the bark too 😀
An interesting technique and a great demonstration. The bowl is amazing.
Thank you very much Simon ☺️
Another skill to hang on your tool belt😊. Seriously tho, I love how you can bring out the beauty, and the story of that grain. You can see that the first few years were good, followed by a few decades of hardship.
Sorry, cold and flu season where we're at and we appear to be in the cross hairs. OTC meds kickin' in. 😸😽😹😿
There is a lot going around Barbara, my wife was in bed a few days with it, hope you are feeling better soon 😀
You did give us a good clue in the video title, so not much of a Guess. Beautiful. Happy New Year to you and the family.
Haha thanks Pete and the same to you 😀
Well done ! My favourite live edge bowl also 😊 well worth the trauma 😅❤
That was a terrifying but fascinating process. I have long mourned the loss of all that wood in the middles, and am happy to see that there's a doo dad to solve that loss. Such a beautiful piece!
Glad you enjoyed it Molly and thanks 😀
Mike that turned out beautiful I love the live edge.
God bless have a great day
Thanks so much Cheryl 🙂
Oh Mike. That is gorgeous!
Thanks so much 😁
Love that you have tried coring, now you have 3 bowls instead of 1 bowl and lots of wood shaving. Thank you for sharing with us 💕
Thanks Luann, me too, I really can't wait to try it again! 😀
That elm is a stunning colour.
Thanks I really love this wood 😁
Hi Mike, To start with what a fantastic bowl, the grain and the live edge looks fantastic. I like you bought one of those about 6 years ago, i used it a half dozen times and its been sat on a shelf ever since, frightened me to death!!!!, once i have sorted out my e-mail i will drop you a line, stay safe
Haha thanks Steve, I am getting over the experience now and looking forward to having another go 😀
Elm does give a lovely glow to a piece. This one looks like “The Eye of a T-Rex” when held landscape! Can you see it?! Gosh I love wood, Do show us what you do with the saved piece from it! Did I say I love wood! Just in case I didn’t…I ADORE WOOD! Thank you for showing us how the pro’s do it! ❤️😊🇦🇺🦘Yvonne
Haha thanks Yvonne and I will show you what happens to the cores 😀
Congratulations on the new toys. Very nice work Mike.
Thanks Loran 😀
Well that looked like a lot of fun! 😄
Haha thanks Jack, it was lol 😀
