- Woodturning: Turning a Cherry Burl Bowl - The “Just a Bowl” Bowl
Since my last project (Ironwood Insanity - The Joker Bowl”) was a pretty complex turn, I vowed my next project would “just a bowl” - in this case, “just an absolutely amazing bowl with stunning grain” 😂
In any case, I’m always nervous about cutting burls, so I searched for some videos on the decision-making process for cutting burls into turning stock. One of the best I found was by Jim Sprague of @SpragueWoodturning and I literally watched it 4 or 5 times. Because…cherry burl! The cherry burl I am working with mostly encapsulated one of 2 branches and I was able to slice the other branch off and then split the burl roughly in half, leaving the pith on the side that the burl didn’t completely encase the branch. I was able to core the larger and most round side of the burl into 3 cherry burl bowls, though the smallest really is a baby bowl that I may use as the lid for a box or something because the grain is just too spectacular to turn into shavings. Because cherry burl!
I used the Woodcut Bowl Saver coring system and could not be more pleased with the results. Here’s a link to the video I did the first time I used the coring system Woodturning: Turning The Big Green Monster into 3 Bowls using Woodcut’s Bowlsaver Bowl Coring System • Woodturning: Turning T...
I finished the piece with Brad’s Tung Wax, which you can purchase here at his Etsy shop:

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 😁
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
Thanks so much! Cherry burl is definitely one of my favorites too 😁
@@LisaRamlowThe sweet smell of cherry burl spinning is incredible.
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.
Beautiful!
Very inspiring...
It warms my heart 💜 when I see another woman Carpenter/Woodworker.
You made my day!!!
Oh and that’s a incredible chunk of wood.
Thank you, it’s hard to go wrong with cherry burl! 😁
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! 😂
Wow. This is a beautiful bowl. Love the grain and color. Perfect size. Can’t wait to see the others. Thank You.
Thanks Helen! I got 3 decent sized bowls and 2 baby bowls from this burl and they are all as pretty as this one 😁
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. 😁
Lovely bowl, Lisa! So enjoy you sharing your thought processes with us as you work through the turning. Thanks!
Thanks Greg, I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. It took a while to sort out the format to use and I was doing just background music for a while but after some polling it turned out that even people who will never step in front of a lathe liked to know what I was doing and why, so this is how we do it 😁
What a delightful bowl! A joy to watch and listen to you at work - thank you.
Thanks Tim, I appreciate that 😁
Thank you very much for the excellent commentary and your insights while turning this beautyful piece!
Thanks so much!
Bravo ! You really are the best out there in explaining things step by step ! Awesome job !
Thank you Robert, I appreciate that 😁
I love the simplistic beauty of your "Just a bowl". Good job and thanks for sharing.
Thank you 😁
Love this bowl. Amazing wood grain!!! Great job!!
Thanks Bruce!
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.
Thanks Joey! I’m editing the video for other half of this burl as we speak. Hoping for have it up tomorrow or Friday 😁
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 👍
WOW! That piece is outstanding! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Thanks for watching Linda, and for taking the time to leave me a message, I really appreciate it 😁
Beautiful piece thanks for sharing your work!
Thank you!
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!
I’m glad you found it helpful 😁
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 Murray, I really appreciate that 😁
Excellent video and brilliant commentary thanks for sharing 👍🏴 loved the finished article.
Thank you - I’m glad you enjoyed it 😁
Great video. I love burls, they always have such amazing grain patterns.
Agreed-can’t go wrong with cherry burl!
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 😂
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 🕊
Thank you, I appreciate that 😁
Absolutely beautiful. Nice work!
Thank you very much!
Absolutely stunning Cherry Burl is gorgeous. Great job Lisa thank you for sharing
Thank you Garry, it is a beauty isn’t it!? Cherry burl rarely disappoints 😁
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 😊
Looks wonderful. Thank you for the lesson.
Thanks for watching 😁
I like the bowl. It came out great. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Lawerence!
Nicely done Lisa. I’m happy that you got a core out of it and have that to turn yet. Those bonus pieces are great to have. Beautiful burl bowl.
Thanks Doug, me too! I got 3 decent sized bowls and 2 baby bowls from this burl and I think that’s about the best I could’ve done with it 😁
Wow! What a work of art.
Thanks Tony, I appreciate it 😁
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you Norm 😁
This is a beautiful piece, and so much enjoyment while watching you work with it.
Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊
Thanks! This bowl is really lovely! The colours, of the url wood, are so very varied! Decent sized bowl, too! Well done!
Thank you Stephanie!
That is definitely a beautiful bowl. WOW great job!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful craftsmanship ♥️
Thank you 😁
That piece turned out so beautifully. Burl is my favorite and cherry Burl knocks it out of of the park. Nice work.
Agree 💯 cherry burl is just spectacular
Wow, that burl is amazing! Great job Lisa!
Thanks John! Cherry burl is the bomb! 😁
Gorgeous bowl Lisa! Excellent job!!
Thanks! 😁
I learned some new techniques and you earned a new subscriber! Excellent work with this piece! Can't wait to watch your other content!

Thank you!
What a hard decision, leave the bark on or discover this beautiful grain! Another lovely job Lisa, thank you for sharing it with us.
Thanks John! The bark was starting to come off in a few places so that added to my decision of orientation method. But I have another cherry burl I need to pick up from another friend and I really want to do a live edge hollow form 😁
I love watching what you do and seeing the total transition of a piece of wood into an art piece. Thanks!!
Thank you Michael, I appreciate it 😁
Lisa...Many years ago I worked at a furniture factory and they had 10+ lathes....I loved watching them work...Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
Beautiful Lisa love the colors and grain in this piece
Thanks Wade, it’s a beauty!
Love cherry burls. I was around cherry all my life. Beautiful bowl.
Thanks Cheryl! It’s definitely one of my favorite things to work with 😁
What a lovely bowl! Very sympathetic to the wood.
Thank Karen! I was able to get quite a few pieces from this burl 😁
Breathtaking!!
Thanks Diane!
sduch a refreshing change to watch and enjoy a straight forward demonstation so skillfully executed while making it look so easy.(a sure sign of much practice).So well narrated.Super job!!
Thanks Leonard, I appreciate that 😁
Beautiful piece of wood, you are a credit to your craft.
Thank you!
Thank you so so much Lisa!!!
So so so much more detail than anyone else is willing to say out loud for us woodworkers. That hint made the spinning leap yet-
I’m glad you found it useful Joshy 😁
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.
Hi Jeremy! I’m so glad you’re finding the channel helpful. I just published another cherry burl video earlier today so check that one out too!
Beautiful bowl Lisa! Well done! ✌️❤️🍻🖖
Thanks Jack!
Love burl. And you did a good job with it. Glad you cored it, too.
Thanks Valerie! I made 2 baby bowls of the ones I cored - the grain was just too amazing to turn into shavings. I’m thinking god making a lidded box with the two of them, or using them for kids in other projects. They’ll get used one way or another!
Great looking bowl, Lisa. The grain on that burl is amazing!
Thanks Greg - it is pretty spectacular!
Lisa, that may be one of the sweetest bowls I've seen you turn. Outstanding!
Thanks Scott! Hard to go wrong with cherry burl 😁
Turned out beautiful!
Thanks Dianne!
Lisa, Nice lovely bowl! I love cherry burls. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Steve! Cherry burl is definitely one of my favorites!
Excellent commentary and visuals, thanks
Thanks Tony!

Amazing. Pure flippin awesomeness.
Thank you! Cheers!
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!
Like the coreing system. Bowl is beautiful ✌💪
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 😁
Great Work Ms. Lisa!!!👍
Thank you Charity!
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 just found your page. Great video. As a novice turner, I appreciate your commentary, as well as the balance between real time footage and footage that is sped up. It helps give us a real idea of the pace of paths. I'm subscribed!
Awesome Michael, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the channel. And welcome! 😁
I enjoyed your work. Thanks
Thanks David, I’m so glad 😃
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!!

Thanks for watching - I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed your explanations for each step of the process.
Thanks Cliff - Glad you enjoyed it!
I absolutely loved watching you work. You explain everything while working , don’t stop turning to tell what you’re doing.
Thanks Jim! Sometimes I do some talking while I'm turning, just depends on the project and how chatty I'm feeling 🤣
One of the best instructional videos I seen in the past two years. Thank you!
Thank you Joseph, I appreciate that 😁
Cherry Burl turned out well.Great job!!
Thanks Ron 😁
Lisa, this is gorgeous! You gave me insight on how to cut a burl since I have 6 massive Cherry Burls in my garage.
Lucky you Carol! 😃
Love that piece!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️👍
Thanks Wanda!
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! 😁
Absolutely gorgeous! You have impressive skill.
Thanks so much 😁
Well done, Lisa!
Thank you Crystal! It’s the Cherry Bomb’s bowl brothers! 😂
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 👍
Fantastic bowl you made. Love them burl bowls and i like those natural "scars" on the edge.
You explain everything so well to, keep it up pleace. Learning something every time.
Best Regards
Hans Olav
