Beautiful bowls from your burl, very nicely done. I've recently been given a large piece of wood from a fallen tree, I think it might be English Oak. I've removed the loose bark and it's revealed some very spikey wood. I'm not sure of the best way to proceed at the moment, I'm new to woodturning and I don't want to process it wrong. Time will tell. All the best from North Yorkshire.
Always nice to have new woods. When you say spikey would that mean soft spots like punky wood. A lot of times super glue will stabilize the wood. A picture would help send to klworral@gmail.com I’ll take a look, see what you have. I had a piece of Oak that had ambrosia in it. A lot of large bugs. But absolutely beautiful wood. All the best from Central Florida
@@bowlreveal not at all! Never had a problem with that not holding. I have a video out tomorrow morning where I use the black CA from Starbond after the sanding sealer on some pretty big cracks, and it works perfectly every time.
Actually I’ve done over 100 bowls with the center saver. I’m thinking the grain in the burl didn’t give me the sound change I was use to. Usually you can hear it change in sound when nearing the center.
I’ve tried many different finished. 90% of my bowls I do with 2 coats of Tung oil finish. Let completely dry then buff on the lathe. Love the finish takes longer but last long. Tung oil finish is tung oil diluted 25% with minerals spirits. I also tried pure tung oil takes way too long to dry. My go to is tung oil finish. Have also used walnut oil, just paste wax, Yorkshire grit $$, Boiled linseed-denatured alcohol-clear shellac friction polish. Didn’t like the finish. I now buy 100% tung oil then mix it with 25% mineral spirits. Cheaper that way.
heh, watching this I'm wondering how well that bowl saver works towards the end to let you know its done. Bet that takes some practice. Then immediately the small bowl goes flying. That sounds about what I'd expect to happen to me.
Actually done over 100 bowls from center saver first time that happened. Don’t know if it was because it was a burl and the grain is different. Usually you can hear change sound as you come close to the center point. Oops
Nice work and interesting process. Full View and Like 👍
Wish I had more burl will hunt for some more
Love the bowls. You have a great eye and perfect execution.
Thanks but most of the credit belongs to the wood. Beautiful stuff.
really enjoying your content, very well done! An Inspiration!
Thank you I appreciate the feedback.
Beautiful bowls. That "Bowl Saver" is a great tool.
Really like my bowl saver just put out a new. Video on center saver in general trying to show the advantage of it

Beautiful bowls. Thanks for sharing
Thank you! Amazing what we can get out of a piece of wood.
Very nice! I actually flinched when the core flew off after you finished coring!
Made a lamp shade today was trying to save a way out of round bowl. Took too much, oops
Beautiful bowls! I have found that using sanding sealer before the CA prevents staining, which helps a lot!
I will give this a try does the sanded sealer stop the CA from getting into the seam?

Thanks will give it a try
You know what really turns? A wheel-burl
Thanks for the laugh. Keep turning.
Очень красиво. Удачи вам в вашем творчестве.
It’s all about the wood
Gorgeous bowls...I love turning burls!
They are a great find

Can you share the models of the equipment you use. Looks like an awesome hobby to have
I’m a snow bird 2 shops. Robust American Beauty (North) Nova Galaxi 1644 (South) going to upgrade to 220 this winter. Tolls rotate back and forth.
Very nice! I have a couple cherry burls that I need to figure how turn them, I don’t have a coring system but it will be fun seeing what happens.
Lucky for you cherry burls are great. Coring system does make it easier, but they are pricey. Enjoy!
What kind of oil or treatment do you put on the wood once they’re turned and sanded? I’m new to turning and not sure what to use. Thanks

You can go up to 40% mineral spirits dries quicker.

I like the part where he says moon scape bowls!
Thanks enjoyed making them
What is the make of the right angled sanding tool?
Makita bought it at a garage sale for $20.00 Nice
Just hard to come by
Beautiful bowls! Where do you sell your turnings?
I have done requested bowls but for the most part I give them away. So if your in WNY stop by and grab one
200 gone just this year.
I’m not 😕
@@marybethhuson295 We even give out lessons for free. And supply the bowl blank. Just love turning think everyone should
I love watching wood turning! It’s always amazing to see where it starts out and what it becomes
Me too
Very nice! I actually flinched when the core flew off after you finished coring!
Hey, appreciate the encouragement
