Hi Josh! That’s exactly what I did-there are a bunch of good turners on RUclips. Brian Havens is one of my favorites, though he’s not putting out content anymore. I heard that he had a brain tumor so I’m not sure if he’s still with us 😕. Also Sam Angelo (Wyoming Woodturner) and Mike Waldt and Shawn from Worth the Effort Woodworking have some good videos for us beginners, and of course there are many others. I took a 4 hour class with a turner I know from art fairs but aside from that I’m learning as I go. But I’m definitely having a blast and I’m so glad that you guys are hanging out with me! 😊
Lisa it was nice to see you in the beginning of the video. Always wondered who was talking during you wonderful videos. Thanks again for sharing you talent.
Nice turning Lisa, I've been turning for over 50 years and until a couple of years ago had never turned a white pine burl until I had a commission on a 28" diameter one that came from Vermont for a lady who wandered by a show I was doing near by here in the Adirondacks, interestingly it was nondescript almost boring compared to most burls but the lady liked it and it smelled good also very stable with nearly no distorting after setting several weeks; good tip on the shellac application to stabilize the weak fibers. Glad you enjoy turning although there's not much money in it but its been my stress relief dealing with life's challenges and afforded me the opportunity to make friends the world over.
Hi Michael, ditto on all the things you said! Although 28” diameter is nearly twice the size I’m even capable of turning on my lathe, let alone comfortable. That must have been something! Thanks for watching and for commenting, I love to hear from you guys!
@@LisaRamlow Lisa keep up the good work somewhat lost my enthusiasm for turning with all of the clubs and symposiums shut down and age taking its toll but admire your talent.
THAT BOWL WAS A AWESOME WORK OF ART SWEETIE LIKE ALWAYS YOU DONE A FABULOUS JOB OF TURNING IT KEEP UP THE AMAZING WOOD WORK WELL TAKE CARE AND STAY SAFE PEACE BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU ALL AND KEEP UP THE BEAUTIFUL ART WORK THAT YOU ALWAYS GET ACCOMPLISHED KEEP THE WOOD CHIPS FLYING I LOVE YOUR VOICE IT'S SO COMING TO HEAR AND YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO BE GOING FORWARDS IN EVERYTHING AND THAT IS A GOOD THING TILL NEXT TIME I LOVE YOUR TURNING WOOD🍀💓😀🇺🇸🦅🦋
I just finished two bowls from a pine log given to me by a neighbor. Despite very sharp tools, I still had plenty of of sanding to do and actually had to start with 60 grit in places....and what seemed like an eternity later, I finally finished up at 400 grit. I won't wait so long to use the sanding sealer next time to stiffen those wood fibers up....assuming I ever turn pine again;-) Great work and thanks for sharing.
Tear out in soft wood is no fun, but I am happy I finished it. I still have the other half of this burl so I’ll do something with that, and I see a pretty big patch of soft torn out grain so it’ll be a challenge 😬
Hi there!, and that’s for watching! I’ve got a video on the schedule that will hit home with you! Spent some time up there recently and brought home some souvenirs to use in an upcoming project. 😉
Fabulous bowl Lisa! Your choice for a natural edge was just right. Cannot wait to see what you do with the other half and thank you for sharing your thought process with us. Keep on turning. Cheers, Bluey 👍
Thank you so much! I’m always afraid I’m going to ruin a piece before I even get started, but this did work out nicely. The other half is a bit thinner so I’ll have to think about that one a little more.
Hi Harry, thanks for stopping by and for the positive feedback on the voice over. It took me a while to decide that format I wanted to stick with and you guys helped make that decision a lot easier!
Hi Jesse! This burl was really dry and didn’t have a very potent smell. The cedar I’ve been working on however makes me feel like I might need a running wheel and a couple of tubes 😂
RUclips tracked me and suggested this video. Glad they did that. Suggestion... When you have punky wood or tear out, turn to just before your final shape then coat it with Minwax Wood Hardener. Waite 24 hours. Turn to final shape then finish the way you want. Works like a champ. I use it for turning end grain also. I'll be starting to make videos here in a couple of weeks. Glad I ran in to you. Keep turning and stay safe.
Pine is very unpredictable as to whether it will yield a nice pattern and may be difficult to accentuate the the growth rings. This one however came out quite well. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching! I had no idea what to expect from this piece. While the grain certainly wasn’t flashy, it was pretty and I liked the way the natural edge came out - it reminds me a bit of a lotus flower 😊
Hi Ted, thanks for subscribing! I’m glad you’re finding the videos enjoyable. I’m not huge on pine either but was really curious about what might be in this burl. Nothing super spectacular but it was pretty and at least there wasn’t a bunch of pine tar to deal with!
Lovely bowl Lisa, looked like a bit of a challenge to turn with the tear out but I like your idea of using sanding sealer to stiffen the fibers! Now I need to try that if I ever get to my lathe as I am up to my ears in scroll saw work! Cheers Al
Hi Leo! The shellac does help some, and I like this option better than using Minwax wood hardener, especially for bowls that will come into contact with food - I don’t know what’s it that stuff. Thanks for stopping by 😊
Lisa. I’m from Florida. Lots of Pine trees. Always told Pune has large spaced rings. Not good for firewood for heat because of this I certainly don’t know but maybe why the chunks keep coming out. You’re the expert just wanted to pass this along. Turned out Beautiful,, thank you co much. Again no offense about my info. Take care.
Hi Helen! I would agree, Pine would not generally be one of my preferred turning woods (alrhough Norfolk Island Pine is supposed to be lovely to work with) but with this being a burl, I was happy to give it a shot. The end grain seems to want to tear out more so than in hardwoods with tighter grain, so you are right 😊 thanks for watching
Hmm, so that's what a pine tree can yield - a very pretty, unique looking burl bowl. I love it so thanks Lisa for giving it a shot🙏. It's truly a beauty🏆🎨 Be safe too. -Mike😷
Hi Mike! The burl grain isn’t quite as spectacular as some other species, but it is pretty in its own right. Thanks for watching and for the feedback, I appreciate it very much. 😃
Hi Patrick, I’m so glad you and your wife are enjoying the videos 😃 I’m working on a hunk of cherry burl at the moment that has the craziest figure I’ve ever seen. It’s almost Birdseye- can’t wait for you guys to see it. Thanks so much for watching and letting me know where my fellow Michiganders are!
Hi Rob, yes I think this piece needed the natural edge - the grain wasn’t super spectacular but I love the sort of lotus flower shape. I’m waiting for you to do one now 😃
Love ur work!! Im am just getting started turning myself and i appreciate ur videos. Im learning a great deal!! Oh, and love the beagle!! Happy turning!!
I just found a stump along the side of the road, looks like it wants to be an end grain natural edge bowl. I don’t have any burls yet...they cost a small fortune if you want to buy some 😮
Hi Lisa - this is a beautiful bowl! Another demonstration of the magic that happens when we bring out the surprises often found within the most innocuous pieces of timber. Is there some faint spalting too? I really like the natural edge.
Hi Tim, I must agree-I’m quite pleased with this one. The natural edge reminds me of a lotus flower. And yes, I think just a touch of spalting. The other half has a bit more but it’s also softer in places so we’ll have to see what I can do with that. Thanks so much for watching and for the feedback, I really appreciate it! 😊
Doesn't look like any of our white pine down south, but that could be because it was a burl. I've never had the opportunity to work with a burl yet. What the heck do I know :) Looks pretty dry wood as well based on the shavings coming off of it. Nice work !
Hi Phillip! I really don’t have a clue as to the species except that it is definitely a conifer. The bark was really pretty smooth and that’s unlike any pine, spruce, or fir I’ve seen, but you’re right - everything about a burl is a little weird 😉. Thanks for watching!
That pine looks super DUPER soft... What I would have personally done is I would have hit the dovetail piece at the base with some thin CA glue, let it cure, then do a second coat so that when you put it in the chuck there's something stiff to bite. Its a cautionary step more tahn anything but I love turning pine, so sadly I've had many a piece go flying so I started doing that and it has definitely reduced the risk of the piece going full peter pan.
I have had several pieces Peter Pan on me, but I turn relatively slowly and they usually just bounce off behind the lathe 😂. This was soft and I still have the other half- I’m thinking it was a spruce burl
I love your work ... my son is a furniture maker. I built him a shop 2 years ago...1,000sq ft. I would like to surprise him with a new wood lathe...any recommendations? He mentioned a Brand named “LUNA”...any good? Wow I just noticed your lathe is a laguna?
Hi Dennis! I’m really happy with my Laguna. It is a very popular lathe as it is pretty good quality at a good price. I know of probably 20 turners with the Laguna Revo 1836, several with RUclips channels and more I follow on Instagram. The REVO 1216 is supposed to be good too. I think it really depends on your budget! Thanks for stopping by 😊
I have a couple of oak burls that I cut from a living tree. They were out on a limb, so I just pruned the limb to get the burls. They are very wet. Would you recommend turning them wet and then letting them dry and finishing later? Or do you think it’s better to allow them to dry out before turning? I tried turning a chunk of the limb, but it split badly. I’m brand new at this. Thanks for your videos. I do enjoy the voiceover.
Hi Julia, thanks for watching! I also tried some branches and had the same issues. I also cut some walnut limbs and sealed the ends with AnchorSeal but they are all useless - the pitch being there just doesn’t seem to work well for small to medium sized limbs. The oak burls I have were cut off a standing trunk in June of this year I think. The tree was living until the loggers came through so they were also very wet. I coated the cut sides in AnchorSeal and let them be for a while. I took the smallest and roughed it out a little bit, then let it air dry a while and then put it in the dishwasher kiln for a week or two I think. I wasn’t too worried about cracks because I knew this one was going to need resin as I couldn’t get a full tenon without losing most of the burl. The others are still just air drying though I think when I have time I may try to rough out some blanks to spend up the process. You can turn them wet, and if you get them thin and even enough they might not crack. They will likely warp, but that not necessarily a bad thing - lots of people like the sort of organic feel of bowls that are a bit warped and wanky. Maybe you could do like I did and try one wet and one dry? It’s really hard to say what will happen since every species is different and with the wild grain patterns in the burls, I’m not sure there’s any way to really predict how they will react.
Hi Michael, thanks for watching! I am using some new finishing products, at least one of which uses carnauba wax, and I also bought some and made my own sort of polishing paste. It’s good stuff! 😊
Hi there! I’m. It actually sure-I would say the whole bowl could be considered a live edge since the rim is the natural shape of the top of the burl, it is just lacking bark. 😊

Hi Lisa, fellow michigander hrre. Bowl turned out great. New to woodturning and woodworking, trying to teach myself by watching others.

Beautiful bowl love the natural edge Great job
Thanks Rich!
Very nice!
Hi Eric, thanks so much 😊
such a unique bowl exposing natures beauty. pine is really soft to turn well done. the shellac filler is a great idea and will be using it. Stay well
Hi Gary, thanks so much for stopping by and leaving me a comment - it’s greatly appreciated 😊
That turned out beautifully! Love the live edge
Thank you so much!
I like. I thought it turned out good. Just retired and building a shop for wood turning. Arthritis got to keep my hands moving.
Hi Jeff, thanks so much for stopping by! Welcome to the obsession, eeerrrrrr I mean hobby 😂
Fabulous bowl Lisa! Your choice for a natural edge was just right. Cannot wait to see what you do with the other half and thank you for sharing your thought process with us.

Hi Al, thanks for stopping by. The shellac isn’t a cure all but it does seem to help get a better cut. Happy turning/scroll sawing!
That's a nice bowl Lisa!
And I'm definitely going to try that trick with Shelac to reduce tearout.
Thnx for sharing!

hi Lisa,
At first i was thinking how this triangular wood is going to bowl..
but guess what-- it turns out awesome.
Hi there, thanks for watching. There were a lot of moments I was trying to figure out the exact same thing! 😂
Hi Lisa, I love the shape and figure of your bowl; I am even coming round to the natural edge look :) Keep well, Rob

Nice bowl. Not the grain I was expecting with it being a burl. Good looking though. 👍
Yeah, I’m pretty sure this is a spruce burl. They grow pretty big and fast, but don’t have a ton of interesting grain like most others.
You should try carauba wax it is food safe and much harder than soft gummy bears wax it's why mm's melt in your mouth and not your hands !
Hi Michael, thanks for watching! I am using some new finishing products, at least one of which uses carnauba wax, and I also bought some and made my own sort of polishing paste. It’s good stuff! 😊
Curious, from the little portion of the bark you left on the bowl. Does that then make it a 1/3rd. live-edge?
Hi there! I’m. It actually sure-I would say the whole bowl could be considered a live edge since the rim is the natural shape of the top of the burl, it is just lacking bark. 😊
Lisa me gustaría que me mandaras el nombre de los productos que usas para acabar las piezas y el pegamento liquido. Gracias
Hi Jose, I’ve been using either Stick Fast or Starbond CA glue, both of which I would think should be available where you are
What brand of resin do you use? Does it chip out very much?
Hi Scott, thanks for stopping by. I’ve been using Alumilite and Liquid Diamonds to date. I’ve had issues with both of them chipping out but that was before I got the negative rake carbide cutter - not a single chip on the entire project, and I screwed that resin pour up, so I’m even more impressed. It’s made all the difference and I highly recommend if you’re using resin to get one. It will save you a lot of time & hassle!
Not often you see women doing this. Nice work.
Thank you 😊
Nice bowl, and well turned, enjoyed watch you turn this piece. Just discovered and subbed to you so I can get notifications, and check out your new stuff as you add to your journey.
