I'm 62.... I started woodturning at 12 years old picking suitable pcs from the firewood ple. Then I'd drive around after east coast hurricanes and fetch those burls that I always wanted but hand no access to.Thank you hurricanes. Cherry Burl was always my favorite since it was my first. You NEVER forget your first. I still have that 50 yr old cherry burl bowl. I gifted quite a few over the years . But not that one . I made a 4 pc cherry burl plate set with goblets. My all time favorite. I sold that one for cheap. This is my first time watching you. As a old wood spinner I am very impressed with your work. ✌Peace
I’m curious about differences between burled wood and stump wood. Pro’s and cons. Beautiful grain differences. Work-a-ability. Anything I might need to know.
@@aishashaw5885 Burl wood has tighter curls and inclusions of bark and sometimes softer materials and can be found in larger centralized ball-like masses. Stump wood has more flowing grain variations and less centralized forms... and often inclusions of rocks.
My home is more of a museum than a home. I furnished it with items from the 1600's to 1850's' I have nine 1700's and 1800's burl bowls, some repaired with copper plates ans some with butterfly repairs for cracks. Folk art objects all over but all usable THANKYOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Lisa. Just stumbled across your vid. My gosh the burl is beautiful, and it came up so nicely. I was really impressed with your "coring" work and how nicely the "coring" popped out with a gentle touch. Stay good Lisa. Kind regards, Dave, Beachmere Queensland Australia
Thanks Dave! Yes, that coring system is nice for sure. Easy to use. I really want to get the laser guide for it - I cobbled something together but it's not super accurate. I bought this 3 or 4 years ago and it was pricey then - they have all gone up considerably. Haven't checked on the laser guide recently but it was over $100 US then.
Lisa, I just found your channel and I am so glad I did!! Your narration was amazing and so informative. I have been turning for about 5 years and I really enjoy it. I have a number of cherry trees with several large burls on them. You have given me the courage to try and turn them.
Beautiful wood and bowl. It's good to see you again. I haven't been able to watch you for a few years. I lost your name and videos when I got a new phone😂
I started turning in January of 2024 and got lucky and found a cherry log full of burls. Your channel is great and inspires me to go look for another log.
Agree, but they are not cheap! It wasn't cheap when I bought mine several years ago and they have gone up a lot since then. I'm super glad I forked out the money and have one, but I probably wouldn't be able to do that now. But I'd still turn! 😃
Awesome video! My wife and I really enjoyed it. You expressed your process and relevant thought process without drowning us in chatter. And your style is conversational and comforting. Made both of us say “I will learn whatever this woman can teach us”
I totally agree with leaving the 'Step Cuts' while carving out the outside profile. Hearing that was like a lightbulb moment lol. That is great advice. That has become a method I'm now using thanks to hearing that! Thank you and keep cranking out these tutorials!! Cheers!
Thank You. A great learning experience. Did some turning in high school 45 yrs.ago.just picked up a lathe. Love the live edge. Your quite talented. I'll get there.
I've a cedar tree, 6"-3" 8' long .A coat rack it will be. Standing...looking out my windows at pine burles. Also cherry stands a short walk away. Plenty to choose from on the Keweenaw Peninsula, U.P. of Michigan.
I love the UP! We try to get up there a few times a year. Spent about 10 days last summer, partially in Houghton and partially in Marquette. Was glad to get back to the Keewenaw, it had been too long!
@@t_c5266, that doesn’t interest me either. Partly because of the cost of epoxy, pressure cooker, etc, I only have so much time and so much money. But I do like to watch the pros, the guys who do it for a living. Wood makes anything look better, even epoxy/ resin.
It's the first time I've been to your channel. I find it interesting that you are turning the bowls while not completely dry and that the edge is so thin. Beautiful wood.
Welcome! When finish turning wet or green wood, the best course of action to prevent cracking is to turn it thin and even. I personally like the warping that occurs when you turn green wood so I do that frequently but I also twice-turn blanks I've roughed out and put in my kiln to dry before turning them to the final shape and finish.
Very nicely done! I just found your channel today, and I’m impressed. You do a fine job with the turning as well as the narration. You’re now on my short list of TH-cam favorites.
Hi Brad, welcome! It took me a while to sort out the format for my videos but the viewers, both woodworkers and non-woodworkers, overwhelmingly preferred the voice over style so that’s how it’ll stay. 😁
A superbly presented video, thankyou. Great, informative and intelligent commentary, a real pleasure to watch and listen...no ego just great content, congratulations 😊
Thank you the last time I was on a lathe was eleventh grade. I have been in construction all my life and been involved in some interesting projects. You completed your project with truth knowledge and grace. Nothing over complicated , issues you could have brought up. You also gave away tips from your experiences. This was a nice to view, thank you.
Great looking bowl. All the different grain and the natural edge are fantastic. The beauty has really came out of that piece of burl. You do extremely good work. Have a great week.
It was a happy accident today when I found your channel. I really enjoy watching woodworking, but your great narration makes it top notch. Your work is beautiful!! Thank you!!
I’m so happy to see a woman doing this. I would love to try it but have no place to put anything. Thank you for explaining as you go. I think anyone interested could learn from you 🕊
I appreciate wood turners that will talk and explain what they are doing. Those that dont are simply boring to me. Thank you. This is my first time seeing your channel...but i enjoyed this.
Lisa, the cherry burl bowl is a beautiful illustration of the woodturner's art and also of the woodturner's eye. The figure in the finished piece is absolutely stunning. I'm a new subscriber to your channel, having watched about a half dozen of your videos so far, and I feel very fortunate to have "found" your channel. For a few years I've subscribed to Andy Phillip's woodturning channel, and thoroughly enjoy it, but in my estimation, you've one-upped him. Andy's videos are completely voiceless, and you provide very helpful and interesting narration, guiding us viewers through your projects. That is greatly appreciated!
Thank you Noah, I really appreciate that. I’m a big Andy Phillip fan myself. When I first started my channel I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it and who my audience would be - woodworkers or turners or people just interested in watching the process. As I got a better handle on that (and better editing software 😂) I did a bunch with music and no voice over, but it became clear that the majority of my viewers want the commentary, whether they are woodworkers or not, so that is how the format will stay. Just giving you a heads up that you may stumble on some of videos in that format. Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to leave me such a nice comment 😊
Me too! I like the OneWay system too and if I were going to do bigger blanks I would probably have gone with that, but this one should do me for quite a while 😁
@Lisa Ramlow I own 2 lathes that I picked up at auctions...burning to start using them, but have yet to get some in-person instruction. Have joined the OVWG and AAW.
I plan on doing wood turning in my retirement...maybe this year. My father showed me 30 years ago. These videos are educational and inspiring. Thank you.
Hello Lisa. I just watched your you tube video of you making & repairing a poplar bowl made out of your firewood pile. I love the fact that you repaired it. It turned out beautifully. I am a life long wood worker: who never turned a bowl. I took my inspiration from Phil Anderson. I have been making bowls about 1 year ago. Since then I have made a quite a few natural edge bowls.( all with flaws of my making). I have only attempted two regular bowl. I just recently stated watching your show. I love your show. You do not shy away from your mistakes. You repaired that poplar bowl with the elm patch. It is a beautiful bowel! I also like your running naratives. They are a great help to beginners like myself. So many bowl makers give no narrative. If they do it is just to show their expertize and talent. I am very sure they have made ugly mistakes. They also use exotic & expensive wood. I go into my friends 30 acre wood lot. I get great oak, sycamore, hedge, walnut and other woods native to Kansas, free. He gets help cutting fiire wood. Thanks Lisa. I have just suscribed to your channel.
Really enjoy your video,most turning videos are silent,but your voice over explaining what you are doing and why you are doing it added a greater appreciation to me for your craft. Thank you.
Thanks for letting me know, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the commentary. I just uploaded a new cherry burl project, you can check it out here: th-cam.com/video/KLA6pATvvC0/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching!
Fantastic! I really like it that you cut to real speed every now and then, in between the sped up stuff. Really relaxing and informative commentary too and, of course, a beautiful finished bowl. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks Andrew, I’m glad you like the format. Took a while to sort out what people were most interested in seeing but this is by far the most popular style 😁
Wow! I too just found your channel. I wish now, seeing yours and other wood turners doing marvelous pieces, that I would have tried this. This wood you made is fantastic. Keep it going for us that can only dream from ‘your’ talents! Thanks!!
Good evening, Lisa. Good chain saw work. I know what you mean about not wanting to mess it up. The wood as beautiful. Happy for you that you got an other bowl from the blank. Well done.
ONE WORD FABULOUS KEEP THE WOOD CHIPS FLYING I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND YOUR WOOD TURNING KEEP UP THE AWESOME WOOD TURNING AND I HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY AND TAKE CARE AND STAY SAFE TILL THE NEXT VIDEO TTYL BY FOR NOW SWEETIE
WOW + WOW Lisa! That ones beautiful! Great demonstration of skill with the tools especially with that wild grain. Excellent narration as usual. Thanks for posting. Take Care
I really enjoyed this video. To use a coring tool ,I have not seen before. It saves so much material that you can use for another purpose. About 50 years ago,my wood shop teacher, Mr. Clock tried a process he read about taking a 12x12 board and marking concentric circles,.He cut the board in half, then cut the half circles on an angle using a band saw. He overlapped glueing,then turned the bowl .Saved alot of material, made a nice bowl. Cheers, RF
I really love how descriptive your videos are. I am relatively new to wood turning and it really helps that you give explanation on things. Thanks and have a good day.
Great to watch your easygoing way of talking you through the process. Excellent finish & its my first time see an arc chisel in action! So many bowls left within one Burl to turn. I stopped turning about 20 yrs ago, bit recently found a nice root ball washed up on the shore. Its waiting in tge shed for Spring, when it should be dry enough to work on. Keep up the good work! Andrew. 😊
Thank you Andrew, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! The coring systems are expensive but it's definitely worth it in the case of burls and other lovely bits 😃
Just watched your cherry burl bowl project . That is a beautiful piece of wood and did a fantastic job turning and finishing it . Have a great day , stay safe . Terry
Lisa, I have really enjoyed your videos. You speak clearly and explain your actions in a way I can understand. I appreciate knowing what tool you are using and what materials you apply. Many thanks for your efforts.
Thank you for this video. I have a large cherry burl that I'm dying to turn but have been really nervous about messing it up. I found this video while researching how to process a burl. Your approach to that task was helpful, but I really enjoyed watching how you approached the turning of the bowl as well. Beautiful work.
I’m glad you found it helpful - it is very scary to make that first cut, but just make your best plan with the info you have to work with and go for it! The good news is it’s hard to go wrong with cherry burl 👍
Such an amazing bowl. Love the chainsaw action and your explanation of your cuts. And your narration was hilarious. And a Dory quote at the end. Yay! ☺️
Yes! Even before the Dory quote, I was about to click subscribe, but my hand jumped quicker, no doubt!! I love folks with a kind, playful, and laid-back personality! The bowl turned out beautifully. This is my first video of yours, but it was a great time, and informative(one day I hope to have the time and money, to turn wood).
Really great vision artistically speaking. The work of course, is impeccable. But the vision to fruition is what separates you from others. Very well done!
I've done a few bowls but, just acquired a couple of cherry burls. One looks almost exactly like the one you are working with in this video. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I'm letting it dry a bit longer before starting in on it. I ringed the tree a couple of years ago to get that process started. Will watch some more of your videos before long.
A very beautiful burl Lisa and well turned. I like all the natural beauty marks made by nature. I am just finishing up a large burl that maxed my lathe out. A ant could not have crawled under the gap between the wood and the bed. I was thinking for the 3 years I have had it that it was Maple. After putting the finish on I am not sure. Hopefully someone will confirm when I upload it in a week. Still doing the finish. Was fun seeing yours turn green down to size. Take care, Gary
That came out so amazing, I have had the opportunity to turn a small cherry burl. I mixed it with resin. They are so much fun. Thank you for sharing your video.
Thanks Mark! I’ve done a couple burls with resin - I like them both ways, hybrid blanks and natural pieces with all the wonky bits. Deciding which way to go usually depends on the piece-if it’s wet and how long I think it would take to dry it, if I think it’ll hold togetherness it’s own or not… I’ve got a couple of oak burls I cored, covered in AnchorSeal and put in the kiln. They developed some really big cracks and gaps - I’m hoping I can get it on the lathe long enough to turn the AnchorSeal off so I can cast the bowl blank in resin. I’m not feeling warm and fuzzy about the likelihood of it staying together otherwise 😬
This channel has what so many woodworking channels are missing. Quality narration.
Thank you Bryan, I appreciate your feedback and am glad you are enjoying the channel 😁
Totally!
Right? There are an awful lot of gorilla turners out there. A lot of them produce nice pieces, but it's almost never from chainsaw to product.

You made my day!!!
Oh and that’s a incredible chunk of wood.
Thank you, it’s hard to go wrong with cherry burl! 😁
First lathe work I have seen on TH-cam that didn't involve resin ... just beautiful wood. Thank you. You are a true craftsperson.
Thanks so much! I do use resin occasionally and like the look of the hybrid pieces but appreciate the beauty of the natural wood 👍
Resin is the current fad or trend. In time, something new will come along. I agree, it's nice to see someone just "turn a bowl."

Great piece and great job turning it.
Thank you Tom!
awesome. I have a similar cherry burl sitting in my shop (for almost 3 years now) waiting for the courage to turn it. Your video inspires me.
Cherry burl is one of my favorites for sure 👍
Nice work, glad to see the coring. Less waste, more profit!!!
Agree, but they are not cheap! It wasn't cheap when I bought mine several years ago and they have gone up a lot since then. I'm super glad I forked out the money and have one, but I probably wouldn't be able to do that now. But I'd still turn! 😃
Cool! Thanks for telling what you are doing and not just creating pretty, mysterious visuals. 🙂
No mystery here - imma show you guys all my boo-boos and then tell you about them! 😂

Thank you very much for the excellent commentary and your insights while turning this beautyful piece!
Thanks so much!
Beautiful bowl! I think a wood turning lathe would be a nice retirement gift to myself.

Holy shit! A piece of turning after 2015 that isn't just turning a block of epoxy with some wood fragments in it!?
Truly a rare find
I use epoxy but sparingly. Some things require it for stability it turning, and I like the way it looks, but I like the gnarlier pieces better. 👍
@@LisaRamlow natural does look better. 9 out of 10 "wood working" videos I see nowadays are just people turning epoxy
@@t_c5266, that doesn’t interest me either. Partly because of the cost of epoxy, pressure cooker, etc, I only have so much time and so much money. But I do like to watch the pros, the guys who do it for a living. Wood makes anything look better, even epoxy/ resin.

Beautiful work! Glad to see someone turning thin bowls. Too many on TH-cam are afraid to go thin and end up with these thick, chunky, heavy bowls.
Thanks! I have a tendency to take that a little too far sometimes and end up with a funnel 😂
One of the best instructional videos I seen in the past two years. Thank you!

Thanks, I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😃
Gorgeous! Looking forward to see you finish the small bowl. A real bonus!
Thanks Linda! I’m quite pleased with all the stuff I was able to get out of this one burl!

Thanks Brian, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😃
Adjust cut some cherry burls today and I had no idea how to process them. Now I do. Thank you for the great video.
Thank you, I’m glad you found it helpful 😊
Really enjoyed your explanations for each step of the process.
Thanks Cliff - Glad you enjoyed it!
Great to watch your easygoing way of talking you through the process. Excellent finish & its my first time see an arc chisel in action! So many bowls left within one Burl to turn.
I stopped turning about 20 yrs ago, bit recently found a nice root ball washed up on the shore. Its waiting in tge shed for Spring, when it should be dry enough to work on. Keep up the good work! Andrew. 😊
Thank you Andrew, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! The coring systems are expensive but it's definitely worth it in the case of burls and other lovely bits 😃
HEY SWEETIE YOU DONE A AWESOME JOB TAKE CARE AND STAY SAFE LOVE YOUR VIDEOS KEEP THE WOOD CHIPS FLYING TTYL LOVE YOU
Thanks for watching Curtis 😁
That's really nice Lisa. All credit to you. I'm quite jealous!
Thank you! 😁
Just watched your cherry burl bowl project . That is a beautiful piece of wood and did a fantastic job turning and finishing it . Have a great day , stay safe .
Terry
Thank you Terry!
I really like your narrative while you're doing the work! Awesome video!
Thank you, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Well done,,beautiful bowl can't wait to,see the core.
I managed to get quite a few pieces from this burl 👍
Lisa, I have really enjoyed your videos. You speak clearly and explain your actions in a way I can understand. I appreciate knowing what tool you are using and what materials you apply. Many thanks for your efforts.
Hi Lindsay! I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel 😃. Finishing up a new project and hoping to have the video edited and up next week
Great work and thank you for using the bowl coring tool. So many people turn great burl material into sawdust.
Well coring systems are quite expensive and it took me a while to save up for one but they are amazing tools and I sure am glad I was able to buy one!
Nice work - beautiful grain. Stay safe.
Thank you Roy 😁
Thank you for this video. I have a large cherry burl that I'm dying to turn but have been really nervous about messing it up. I found this video while researching how to process a burl. Your approach to that task was helpful, but I really enjoyed watching how you approached the turning of the bowl as well. Beautiful work.
I'm glad you found it helpful! Make your best plan and go for it - it'll be beautiful no matter what!
Absolutely beautiful piece! I came here because I’m going to attempt my first cherry burl bowl and I learned so much. Thank you
I’m glad you found it helpful - it is very scary to make that first cut, but just make your best plan with the info you have to work with and go for it! The good news is it’s hard to go wrong with cherry burl 👍
Such an amazing bowl. Love the chainsaw action and your explanation of your cuts. And your narration was hilarious. And a Dory quote at the end. Yay! ☺️
Hey Andrea! Thanks - I’m glad you’re enjoying them 😁
Yes! Even before the Dory quote, I was about to click subscribe, but my hand jumped quicker, no doubt!!
I love folks with a kind, playful, and laid-back personality!
The bowl turned out beautifully. This is my first video of yours, but it was a great time, and informative(one day I hope to have the time and money, to turn wood).
Really great vision artistically speaking. The work of course, is impeccable. But the vision to fruition is what separates you from others. Very well done!
Thank you Kevin, I really appreciate that 😃
Well done, Lisa!
Thank you Crystal! It’s the Cherry Bomb’s bowl brothers! 😂
Strength, skill and artistry. Brava!
Thanks Claude!
Beautiful piece! Your narration is very interesting.
Thank you kindly!
I've done a few bowls but, just acquired a couple of cherry burls. One looks almost exactly like the one you are working with in this video. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I'm letting it dry a bit longer before starting in on it. I ringed the tree a couple of years ago to get that process started. Will watch some more of your videos before long.
I’m glad you found it helpful! I have a good sized oak burl I’m getting ready to tackle so stay tuned!
Nice eye in choosing and superb turning skills.
Thank you very much William!
New subscribee here. This is the first time I've come across one of your videos. Enjoyed your narrative. Wonderful piece.
Thanks Bonnie, and welcome!
A very beautiful burl Lisa and well turned. I like all the natural beauty marks made by nature. I am just finishing up a large burl that maxed my lathe out. A ant could not have crawled under the gap between the wood and the bed. I was thinking for the 3 years I have had it that it was Maple. After putting the finish on I am not sure. Hopefully someone will confirm when I upload it in a week. Still doing the finish.
Was fun seeing yours turn green down to size.
Take care,
Gary
Thanks Gary! Looking forward seeing this beast you speak of! 😃
I was fascinated and really enjoyed your presentation. You taught me so much about burls. Thank you. Joe
Thanks for watching Joe, and for taking the time to leave me a comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😃
I like how you explain what you're doing and why! I learned a lot, including some new words like pith.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos 😃
Nice work! Beautiful wood too! Wish I had your cutoffs for making knife handles.
Thank you! They don't go to waste - lotsa small projects and I can use resin when necessary. Cherry burl is too pretty not to use every bit! 😃
That is one sweet bowl.. Awesome job.
Thanks Chris!
I don't know how I missed this one but it is another great turning. That is an absolutely beautiful bowl. The grain is amazing.
Thank you very much! 😁
That came out so amazing, I have had the opportunity to turn a small cherry burl. I mixed it with resin. They are so much fun. Thank you for sharing your video.
Thanks Mark! I’ve done a couple burls with resin - I like them both ways, hybrid blanks and natural pieces with all the wonky bits. Deciding which way to go usually depends on the piece-if it’s wet and how long I think it would take to dry it, if I think it’ll hold togetherness it’s own or not…
I’ve got a couple of oak burls I cored, covered in AnchorSeal and put in the kiln. They developed some really big cracks and gaps - I’m hoping I can get it on the lathe long enough to turn the AnchorSeal off so I can cast the bowl blank in resin. I’m not feeling warm and fuzzy about the likelihood of it staying together otherwise 😬
