- In this video I make a bud vase from offcut burl scrap. These are very popular and are fun and easy to make. This video like most in the project that sell series is done in real time with basic tools that a beginner would have. Things did stray from the plan as sometimes happens to everyone. Please watch till the end to see what goes on with this piece and to get info on an upcoming charity auction for the Salvation army where 11 makers will be donating work that you could win! Link to more details below. I hope you enjoy this video, thank you to all who watch!

I've had a few necks crack like that. best thing about these types of vases is that you can just put them back on the lathe and make a shorter neck or change the vase style/shape. It'll still sell. Great work, man.
It is certainly still useful. Thanks so much for watching I really appreciate it!
Beautiful piece! Love that you show your projects that don’t always turn out - it makes us beginners feel not so horrid at this craft!
Thank you Jill! Sometimes unexpected things happen, this is reality TV haha. I appreciate you watching !
Thanks for showing even the pros have failures on occasion. I’m sure you can incorporate that piece in something else. The wood is spectacular.
Thanks John! This piece sits right beside the shop computer waiting for a decision. Thanks for watching!
That made me sad. It was such a beautiful piece. It's refreshing to have a Turner show both the good and the bad. It makes a much better learning experience.
It made me sad also! It will be repurposed at some point though. Thanks for watching !
Nice shape. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.
Thank you Calvin! I need to repurpose this soon!
There’s nothing more satisfying or maddening then turning wood burl. I’ve not made much with it yet myself. Some pistol grips and a small vase, with having the grain go in 4011 different directions, it’s near impossible to have a straight plan off attack when you turn it. The fact that you got such beautiful results from such a crazy piece shows your skill level is on another level. Really nice work sir.
Thanks so much, I appreciate it!
Enjoy watching your channel. Simple straight forward instruction. Something a beginner could understand. You have a New subscriber . Thank you . Jim's wood shop.
Thanks so much Jim! I really appreciate you watching
Even tho there is an ooops… I’d still buy this… handmade is never perfect… it’s a beautiful piece of work. Have you ever considered have a few Opps pieces at your craft shows? Stay safe!
Thank you Sandra! Thankfully I don’t get many oops pieces but I’ve never taken them to shows. I know that they would sell though, you are correct. I appreciate you watching!
Hi! I wanted to thank you for the videos that you have put out on funding your shop!!!! I haven't been feeling too confident in my skills lately, and after trying these items you have shown, I'm rebuilding my confidence. I appreciate that very much, more than I can find the words for. Could you show some techniques for making g plates and/or finials? Please? Thank you, Lori.
Hey Lori! I’m glad things are coming around for you. It takes time and practice for sure. When I get finished the Reno project I will try to do a plate and finial video. Thanks for watching!
Much respect goes out to you for showing us when things don't work out as well as they do!! You are to be commended commanded well done
Thanks Tony, I show it all here my friend. I appreciate you watching
GREAT DEMO LEWIS. IT HAPPENS .STILL LOOKS GREAT .FROM DOUG
Thank you Doug! I appreciate it!
Glad to see that you didn't throw it out! It's beautiful!
Still enough left to repurpose I think!
Awesome to see that it doesn't always go to plan for the pro's. I learnt as much from the explanation at the end as to why it didn't go to plan. Thank you for taking the time to post.
Regards Lewis.
From one Lewis to another...Thank you! I dont hide any mishaps, thankfully they are the exception!
It’s a pleasure watching you work and explain your process.
Thank you Joseph, I appreciate you watching!
I still consider this vase as a beautiful piece. The grain is fabulous. Salut!🇨🇦
It is very nice wood. I look at it often considering what I can do with it that won’t have a man made flaw. I think I know but time will tell! Thank you for watching!
Very worthwhile point that you make on not throwing small offcuts from good wood because they can be used for small, highly successful pieces further on. It was also great that you show that problems do crop up even for experience wood turners & took the time to show the great effect of the Danish Oil finish with the bug holes. Love the look of the hollow form that you made for the auction, I will now watch that one. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
Thanks Don. This is beside my shop computer until I decide what to remake it into.
Gorgeous vase
Thank you Sue!
Nice Work Lewis Shame about the neck cracking. Still liked it finished good job Buddy
Thanks Brian, I appreciate you watching buddy!
Very nice work even if it didn't work out. I enjoy your videos very much, simple and instructive. Keep'm turning
Thanks PJ, I appreciate it!
It's refreshing to see you leave the things that don't go to plan in. I swear for the longest time I thought I was just terrible at wood turning 🤣
It happens to everyone whether they show it or not! Thank you for watching Cameron!
Loved this one and I really learned how to make them
Excellent Mark! I appreciate you watching!
Shane about the neck as the wood is really beautiful. Though these things happen and it just adds a uniqueness to the piece
I think it will eventually be an ornament Jiggsy. Thanks for watching!
That is a beautiful piece of work. Even with the crack. ||||
Thanks Steve, I appreciate it!
I like that you failed and still posted the video. It's good to see that even a expert like yourself can run in to issues.
Everyone runs into one issue or another from time to time Stephen, all about the solution really! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful piece of wood. Sorry to see the neck blow out like it did. It was still a nice piece. As a new turner, a really appreciate the simple projects. Thanks.
Thank you, I appreciate you watching!
Learn as much from projects that go wrong as go right:) Still beautiful!
That is correct Delle! Thanks for watching!
Despite the drill issue, this is a really nice piece. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Noel!
That’s a real shame, Lewis. That was such a beautiful piece of wood. The one you showed at the end of the video is just spectacular. Another great video, my friend. I hope that auction goes well for you!
Thank you Gord, hoping to salvage it into something else soon! I appreciate you watching buddy, take care!
Thank you for sharing even when the piece doesn't work out. There is a lot to learn from that as well. I really appreciate your beginner guide to turning especially with basic tools. That's a big deal for individuals like myself just trying it to see if it's for me .
Thank you Cindy! You should absolutely try it. Find a club or someone close with a lathe and some skills to get you off on the right foot.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for keeping real, I did see it coming. Burls are beautiful, I live in the Black Cherry capital of the world and have quite a few.
Cherry burl is nice! I was sceptical as well but it was worth the try. I think it will become an ornament now! I appreciate you watching!
Solid demo, Lewis. Today I tackled the brother to a willow bowl I'd tried last year. It was a live edge mess, in which I put 14 hours of sanding. That's not an exaggeration. The thing was a beast for tear out. My sharpening skills weren't bad, but they are better, today. That, and my ability to read grain. I had to do a bit of unconventional work, but off the tool to 180 grit, one tiny spot of tear out. Opposite side of the tree, totally different result. I appreciate your way of explaining your methods and why. Those mistakes and explanations from you best TH-camrs are a big part of why today's result was tremendously better, so, thank you.
That is excellent! I always shoot to get a 150-180 equivalent finish off the tool. Sometimes it doesn’t work and there is not a thing you can do, other times it is successful. I’m glad you aren’t having to sand as much! Thanks for watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman Had a chuck of cherry with an unexpected erratic burl today, but cooperated and it was a shocking 240, for one miniscule line. Ten minutes to sand and polish. Oh, and you are correct in a previous video when you said letting the microfine sit awhile before wax, makes a big difference.
No kidding huh!
So cool that you show the "failure" thanks for the videos.
Thanks for watching Bo!
I hate to see that happen. Such a cool piece of wood. Better luck next time.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
I would love to see you turning “Tool Handles”. Unique and different
That is something I have never done actually. I’ve always thought that putting my own handles on would not be as strong as ones already made. Who know though, maybe someday! Thanks for watching!
Very nice. Love the piece that’s going on the auction. See you then if not before.
Thank you Doug, I appreciate it!
Excellent
Thank you Gary!
Very professional woodturning, the results are very good and very beautiful
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Ha c’est très beau dommage pour le perçage et le bois est superbe bravo pour le résultat 👏👍🇨🇭 bonnes fêtes 🌲⛄️
Merci Denis, Bonnes Fetes!
A beautiful piece. Thank you for showing things don’t always go as planned. 👏👏
Thanks! Things certainly do not always go as planned! Thank you for watching!
Am just learning how to turn, love the look of the piece. I didn’t catch the type of finish you put on it but it made the piece pop! Hopefully I will be as talented 40 years from now.
That was Danish oil. Thanks for watching!
I did a make over on my grandads home made 8 drawer tool chest with Brazilian Apatong. A very hard tight grained dark wood with 1500 lb per sq foot strength. Salvaged it out of 1960s semi trailer deck. Danish oil really did the trick on it. Wipe on wipe it off. Looks great. Wood looked like hell till you plain it then oh boy. 😄
Cut the top off and hollow out the rest!!! : )
I think it may become an ornament. Thanks for watching Jim!
Beautiful, thanks for sharing. I would have fixed it. (That's what I do, fix things.) Put a dowel down the neck wrapped in packing tape, fill the crack with epoxy with black die in it, extract the dowel, and return the outside. By the time you did all that you could sell it for enough to earn about half of minimum wage, if you ignore the cost of the wood and epoxy.
Haha correct on the price Barry. If it were just a crack I would have but it is more of a blow out. Thanks for watching!
Very nice little dry pot, you’re a master with the gouge! Crap happens, that was tricky grain for sure! Cheers from MT.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Thanks for sharing your process. I learned a lot from this video.
Thank you Joseph, I appreciate it!
Thanks for sharing Lewis.
Really enjoyed it 😀👍❤️
Thank you Wendy, I appreciate you watching!
Love the videos and appreciate you show when things go wrong. Wishing you a Happy Holiday!
Thank you Steven, I appreciate you watching
Shame that happened. Lop the top off and do a mini hollow form. I always enjoy the vids. If I can ever get my shop set up you’ll be one of my main sources. Love the beginner stuff.
Get after that shop Derrick! Thanks for watching!
Hi Lewis, that’s still an awesome piece my friend! I like the cracks and inclusions. Thanks for a great project video! Take care 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Bruce! Going to repurpose this one soon! I appreciate you watching buddy!
Beautiful piece of work. I guess it went from a vase too a very nice candle stand. Always enjoy watching your videos. Good luck with the auction.
Thank you Deno, I appreciate it!
Thanks for the great idea Lewis.
Thank you for watching Clint!
good work Lewis,we know sh---- happens
Yes it does Fran! Thanks for watching!
Lewis,
That is a very pretty piece regardless of the blowout. If you don't want it or don't have someone else interested in it, I'd buy it. Heck, I'll even pay the shipping!
As for the auction...is it for the UK only? I just checked it out and all the donations so far are in pounds. If I'm welcome (Indiana, USA), it sounds like a lot of fun!
Hey Max, I’m going to repurpose that burl, hopefully into an ornament! The auction is world wide, everyone is welcome! I’m in Canada.
Excellent video!! A great lesson for me.
Thanks for watching Harvey
A very informative video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jim, I appreciate you watching!
Great job! Thx for sharing
Thank you for watching!
That turned out to be some beautiful burl
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you!
Great little project 👍
Thank you William, I appreciate it!
Unfortunate that it blew out like that.... but great explanation! Love your process and thorough details!
Stuff happens as you well know! Thanks DD!
Revise into a no-neck vase by saw off and sand smooth. Too pretty to toss.
Agree totally Valerie
No tossing, it will hopefully be something else soon! Thanks for watching!
No tossing Sir!
It is also a nice piece Lewis well done again.
Thank you Laurence! I appreciate it!
Great looking piece, hope you cut the neck off and repurposed it as a hollow form like the ones shown at the end of the video. Great grain on that piece,it would be a shame to just toss it.
Hey Rick, absolutely not tossed! Still considering options. Thanks so much for watching!
I enjoyed seeing the simple project, sorry that the beautiful burl didn't make it. I would like to see a demo on a deeper hollowed out vase of about 10" but I don't know about the time it would take. I have vibration problems when hollowing out and try to use a steady rest that I made, with out much help in the vibration.
I have a piece of Iron wood, 10 1/4" wide and 8" thick. Having a difficult time shaping it and hollowing it out for a bowl, the wood is so hard.
Thank you Eric! 10” is very deep to hollow without a mounted hollowing system unless there is enough opening to get a tool rest inside. I have a video where I did a sumac vase that I hollowed to the max limit with the Easywood pro series hollower and it is touchy that deep. When I say to the max I mean past the suggested dept and handle deep. Thanks for watching!
A real shame about the neck, but still a lovely piece Lewis.
Thanks Trevor, I appreciate it!
I think the cracks from drilling make it look a bit more rustic. It would go well in a cabin or older home.
If they were natural cracks I would agree but if you saw it you might have a different opinion! Thanks for watching!
still a nice job
Thank you Mark!
Great piece even with the the crack. My question, why can't you clue and clamp the neck back together? Ron USCG MKC RET
Thanks Ron! It was more of a rupture thank a crack, not really fixable. Thank you for watching!
That is a beautiful hunk of wood. Can't you cut the top off and chuck it up somehow and make a hollow form out of it. That's just to nice to waste it. Would love to see what you do with it. Thanks for showing the oops!
Thanks Jeff, it may become a Christmas ornament!
Good
Thank you!
Love the video Lewis!
Your little dry pot "whoopsie" reminded me of my own mishap when I made my mother a knitting needle pot from a nice piece of cherry. You're exactly right when you said you have to pay attention to the path the grain of wood takes on! My problem was a dullish Forstner bit and too thin of a neck. Bit took a catch, and me bearing down on it, split the neck and a quarter of the needle pot! "Whoopsie!" Lol.
A little reshaping and a newly sharpened bit, and everything turned out perfect for her pot. Now I just need to make her 2-3 yarn bowls and Mamma will be a happy woman indeed!
Question: What type of oil/finish did you coat your dry pot in? I'm always fascinated with what types of oil/finishes other turners use and prefere.
Thank you so much for the video.
As my woodturning mentor/teacher always says, "If yah ain't turnin, you ain't learnin!"
AJ Roberts
Savannah, GA
Thanks AJ! I used Danish oil on this and most burls with irregularities. Whoopsies are easy to do! Thank you for watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman Thanks for the tip!
Are you by any chance coming down to the AAW Symposium in Chattanooga this weekend!?!?
Would be great seeing nost of my favorite TH-cam woodworkers.
Take care! Keep a goin!
I had plans to but they got derailed do to work commitments unfortunately. Maybe next time!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman All good. There's always next year!
Take care and keep a goin!!!
Едно малко бижу ! Прелестно е !!!
Thank you!
Turn it into a short necked vase? Thanks for sharing.
It is going to turn into something different altogether! Keep an eye out!
At first you said the end at the tail stock was to big and you were going to turn it more, then you lost a piece and had to cut it down even more. Did that make you change your mind on what to make?
Hey Ronnie, The bark inclusions were deep so that caused a change but in honesty i did not have a specific form in mind.
Very nice, I am a beginner at turning and was wondering how much you get for a piece like this?
Thanks Thomas! Had it turned out it would have been in the $20 range.
I have some unknown wood and it's all nice until I turn it to round from a log after that I can let it sit sometimes for as little as an hour and then cracks everywhere one time I even watched a crack get bigger any idea of why it does this
Wet wood will crack on end grain. Fruit woods like cherry and apple are the worst. The best thing I have found is to cut the wood over length and seal the end-grain with wood glue diluted to 50% with water and let it dry. It can take a long time to dry so be patient. Thanks for watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman thank you for the tips I really don't know how wet it is so that may be the problem I'll try thisb
Sometimes you're the dog, other times you're the fire hydrant!
For sure Robert! Thanks for watching
Love mistakes thats where we learn
Let’s hope I learn! Thanks for watching!
Gorgeous piece...too bad it broke!
Thanks Carol, hoping to repurpose it soon!
What kind finisher did you use? Fantastic
The finish is Danish Oil. Thanks for watching!
Could you have taken some CA glue and a c-clamp to have closed the split?
If it were just a split yes but it was a blow out an not repairable.
You could have taken a hose clank and some blue and maybe salvaged
I think it was too far gone for that Ed, we will see if it can be something else soon. Thanks for watching!
Hi Lewis, What a terrible shame. As Valerie mentioned it is too good to toss away. I'm sure you will think of a way to finish it into something else.
Take care Lewis.
Cheers, Huw
Thanks Huw, keep an eye open to see what happens!
That was going beautifully! I know I would have been tempted to glue it, but who knows how that would have turned out. Nice job regardless. Good success with the auction!
Cheers, Rick
Thank you Rick!
It’s too bad that it cracked. Could you consider removing the neck and making an egg shaped vase? Maybe only hand saw and sanding?
I’m thinking of a hollow Christmas ornament actually, we will see how it goes! Thank you for watching!
Awesome burl, shame about the split.
It happens! I still have it on a shelf to repurpose....thinking an ornament possibly. Thank you for watching!
beautiful figuring in burls, shame it cracked as perfect for flowers kids or grandkids pick!
Thanks Kathryn!
Very pretty it's a shame that it broke
That happens sometimes, thankfully not often. Thank you for watching!
That is a lovely piece of burl Lewis. Will you take the neck off of it, and make something smaller, such as an ornament? Or, cast it in resin for another project?
Thanks Dave, it is hopefully going to become something else!
It looks beautiful. Too bad that it broke.
Thanks Jack, destined for another project with it now! Thanks for watching!
Would you consider selling it AS IS?
I’m going to make an ornament out of it Crystal! Watch for that soon!
beautiful finale of your work - best regards and also invite you to my place
Thank you! I’ll check your channel out as well.
Great looking piece. Is it possible I could send you some photos of my work thru email. I would like to get some feedback. I have had some friends tell me I should sell them but I would like some turners like yourself take a look at them and give me your opinion if you don't mind. Thanks
Absolutely I love to see them. klondikecraftsman@hotmail.com
Thank you for watching!
Adorable but wish you would speak more...especially when you change tools.
Thanks for the input! I appreciate it
Very disappointing for you. An excellent video though. Like others have said put a glue block on it and turn it into a hollow form(maybe a holely hollow form).
Thanks! I’m thinking hollow Christmas ornament maybe! I appreciate you watching!
that was a shame that broke off
Going to repurpose it soon! Thanks for watching Roy!
