Thank you Gao! Yes I ended up with 2 revisions and this is the one I was going to do first but made the other one because I needed it and took less time. Take care, Gary
Hi, Gary. You know I love the burls. That is a great way to use some of the leftovers from other projects. I give some of my small, highly figured scraps to a friend that uses them for knife handles - no waste! Another fine bowl from your shop! Thanks for another excellent tutorial on ring-stacking for maximum utilization. Take care, --Paul
Thank you Paul. With all the burls you have I bet you have lots of scraps that can be used. Segments would be another good use for leftovers. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you very much. I think this was the best use for this piece that I could have done. I thought about making segments out of it but this really shows off the burl. Thanks for watching, Gary
Trying to say that after 3 bottles of Hobgoblin ale ......you're having a laugh aren't you ..😉seriously though mate it was a lovely save from the fire . Wouldn't know it was joined together if any one hadn't watched the video. Superb job Gary and absolutely love it ! Cheers, Bram
Thank you Bram...on my first take I stubbled all over trying to say it. That was without 3 bottles of anything LOL. Thanks for watching my friend! Cheers, Gary
Thank you Mark. I have to say even though this came off the burl bowl I have sitting on the coffee table this one just seems to have nicer burl. But when you think about it all the burl came from the same 1" section of the piece. Thanks for watching, Gary
I took high school geometry many years before RUclips. I think this video would be a perfect answer to the question “when will I ever use geometry in real life?” I know I enjoyed it today and I would have enjoyed it back then, too! I love seeing burls and I’m so glad you were able to use this burl board to make this bowl. It’s really nice!
Quick and simple you said? I don't agree, but you're the proven master! It was great pleasure for me following all the steps you went through and that bowl is so beautiful. Thank you. Best,
Thank you very much. I guess compared to what I have tomorrow this was pretty quick and simple. Hope you watch and enjoy it. I appreciate you watching and commenting. Take care, Gary
Thanks a million, I just picked up a nice burl but I sold my lathe. You gave me the idea of cutting a slab off and I will use the scroll saw to make a bowl with the stacking technique. Thanks for the inspiration! Paul
Thank you Paul. I see no reason why you will not be able to do that. Might take a little sanding to blend it in but that can be done. Thanks for watching, Gary
Papa, As soon as you touched the sanding sealer to the wood I knew that another beautiful piece had just appeared on your lathe 😋. The finished burl board bowl looks even more amazing! The colors just pop like a high infield fly 🤩. Thank you. Keep the aspidistra flying! God bless, Paul
Thank you Paul, for sure that sealer works magic. It shows what is there but still hiding. For sure my favorite part. Pop like a infield fly. Dang I hated catching those. I found it harder than catching a line drive. Take care, Gary
Good evening, Gary. I missed this video somewhere along the line and found it tonight. I have several beautiful boards laying around for something special and now I know what they will be used for. The burl looks gorgeous in this bowl. Very nice.
Thank you Ray. I have 2 Walnut boards that are very old. From something I made in high school shop class so for sure they are very old. Still trying to figure out how I want to use them. Maybe segments or maybe a BFB. But I want something even more special. So I will wait.... Thanks for watching, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I think some of the boards I have will be engraved with a CNC router/laser with the history of the wood. The beauty of the wood along with dates and what it was used for in the past will become the art, the memory, the project. Hoping our health will give us time to complete some of the projects on the shelf. I appreciate your friendship and responses. Ray
That is a good idea Ray. I have to find some pictures of what mind did. It was a TV stand , aquarium stand and a what ever stand for many years. It was a metal wood project in 1963. The metal part is long gone. Always happy to help a fellow soldier who severed where I did doing the same thing I did. Take care my friend, Gary
Great method for scratching a board into a bowl!! That ring clamp sure reminds me of the wine press my Grandfather used, back in the 50's!! Beautiful bowl, wonderful finish!! Would look great, on the table, filled with wine grapes!!!
Thank you very much Susan. I have a number of videos where geometry is what makes the shape. I am currently working on another which is very exciting. It will be in a few weeks so I hope you watch for it. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank You Gary...It is always nice to see a beautiful piece of wood with NO cracks. From my perspective I am always loosing so very much because of rot or cracks. I always start with an idea than need to pare it down and work around the left over good wood. Your Burl looks wonderful (Burls usually do when aged correctly?). ... I love watching you make your ring bowls! I was thinking if using a couple strips of masking or duct tape on the back would be helpful in protecting the cut piece from bouncing around? ... Gary I LOVE that Burl bowl you created from a simple flat piece !!!.. Until next time...TM
Thank you very much TM! I sure is a nice piece of burl for sure. I have thought about having a backing piece behind it to keep them from flying off. Masking tape might do the job as well. I was concerned with the first ring cracking when it came loose. That is why I stopped in time to just pull it loose. Strange you can actually hear right before it is ready to come loose. And that is with my old and damaged ears LOL. Take care my friend, Gary
Hi Gary... I really love this method of making a bowl... Very little waste .. you can make a large bowl from a relatively small amount of wood and none of that laborious hollowing out... Great job and a great video as always... awesome Buffalo... Take care...All the best.....Andy
Thank you Andy. Yes it is a good way to use wood. I have been using pictures at the end from trips we have made. I have a picture of a buffalo that walked up to the side of our motorhome and then stood in front of it for a few minutes. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Bruce. I have reached a point where it is hard to store many more scraps inside. I can put some in the pole building. I already have some laying in my drift boat and I was told don't you dare put any in the motorhome LOL. But pieces like this I will always save. Take care my friend, Gary
Again, not surprised, great job Gary. I had seen your parting tool guide before and had thought of making one and forgot. Now that I see it again, I'll take note to make one. Excellent idea.
Thank you Damiano! I have noticed that after I first made the jig there are a lot of turners cutting the rings on the lathe instead of the bandsaw. I find it so much easier to do. If you have not seen them I have 2 videos showing how I make the ring cutting jig. I do like the second one better. Take care, Gary
Gary, this is one beautiful bowl. What a great use for a gorgeous piece of burl. When I use my press, I found that by putting a wheel bearing (any autopart store) on top of the work, it is unmoved by the twisting action of the press as I tighten it. How I wish I had a piece of scrap like that!
Thank you Josh! The end of my press not only adjust to the fit but it also is free spinning so I do not need a bearing on it. So I have not twisting issues to contend with. But I could see how a bearing could be helpful if needed., I never toss anything away so these scraps will get used at some point. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Ray., I once heard a saying. "Sometimes I make something nice...most of the time I make saw dust" But with wood turning you do need to make shavings and saw dust to make something nice. Keep turning and thanks for watching. Gary
Gary, that piece/the wood used is stunning. It turned out (pun not intended) even better than I was expecting! Thank you also for the ring-cutting demo. I saw another persons video for ring cutting and it is much more involved than this (your approach is much better; in my view).
Thank you very much Grant. I strive to make things easy to do and without a lot of extra thinking. I like to do the thinking but I want to do that before I actually use it. Happy you like my method. Take care, Gary
Your build and design show off that burl figure better than any other design could have, Gary. It's absolutely fabulous! And what a finish! Another excellent example of your talent and workmanship. Very impressive, my friend! Phil
Thanks so much Phil! This piece of burl made this happen for sure. Just wait till you see what I am working on today. It does not have a lot of chance of being beautiful but should be functional, I may not even show the video except to the person I am doing it for. If you ever need to see the true meaning of CHEAP you will have to see this. That is if it does not blow up LOL. But I just have to do it. Thanks again buddy! Gary
Such nice work!!! It is amazing how you can take scraps and make something beautiful!!! That piece of burl was really no scrap, but now is a collector’s item.
Thanks Chris. For sure it sometimes takes that first coat to reveal what you have. I have a feeling the piece I have in the lathe right now will do the same. At least I hope so. Take care, Gary
I enjoy woodturning myself but I'm only an amateur. I am truly amazed by your imagination and ability. You turned a beautiful masterpiece, which has inspired me. This shows me that with a little imagination you can do wonders. Thank you ever so much mate.
I watched the video with a like and the content is very special, very wonderful and very useful, my friend, God bless you, your friend from Egypt, with a full view h
Thank you Leo. A serving platter was one option I thought of. I have another unknown piece of wood about this size that just may become a serving platter. Been wondering what kind of wood it is for years. I found it at a garage sale years ago and have done nothing with it yet. Thanks for watching, Gary
Fantastic project Gary. Simple, and elegant. The best kind. I really appreciate the lesson about drawing a line on your board before you cut it. That seems to really help the process, and improve the result. And once again, you have proved to all of us to SAVE EVERY PIECE! Of wood from projects, because they can come back to be beautiful. Thanks for the video, and thanks for the lesson. See you next week.
Thank you Mark. I think everyone knows this was never going near the fire pit. As a matter of fact my wife goes through the wood I bring out and says....are you sure you are not going to use this LOL. Take care, Gary
Very nice piece Gary you just can't go wrong with Burl wood. I have probably made at least 30 or more pieces out of mostly Cherry Burl and just love it. My wife and I have gotten my garage stocked up with Burls from hunting for them this past winter. So I have quite a lot of work to do this summer. Happy turning my friend ☺️
Thank you very much Edward! Where do you go burl hunting where you are able to cut them? I do have a Siberian Elm tree in the back that is full of burls. And it will stay that way. I did get a huge limb trimmed and got some nice burl from it. But nothing like the lower 15 feet of this tree. Take care, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 we live in central Pennsylvania about a hour west of State College. Here we have the application mountain chain running right through. Over the years I have found stands of Cherry trees that have an over abundance of Burls. We only take the dead standing or dead on the ground Burls. One other piece of advice for you is when you harvest them. Always leave at least a foot of the log on either end so that the burl doesn't crack as it dries. I would also like to say that I have always been a good Steward of nature and source my wood responsibly. Take care and Happy turning my friend 😊
@@ThePapa1947 I'm hoping to get to see that side of the country. My childhood dream was to see the Redwoods and Sequoias. Just the thought of something so much bigger than the 250 yo White oak I have on my property. I'm working on trying to save it from gypsy moths from eating it's foliage at this present time of year. Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for being such a great teacher. The world needs more people like you.
@@edwardhand7070 been to the Redwoods a few times. There is a tree there that you can drive your car through. Also consider the Olympic National Park. And amazing place. Last time we were there we saw a Red Cedar tree that was nearly 20 foot in diameter.
Gary this is an Amazing bowl and working this way a person with little money could produce a bowl quit cheaply but still use what would be an expensive wood if using a solid blank

Bodaciously beautiful burl board bowl. Bravo! 👍
Thank you. I was very happy with how it turned out.
Beautiful burl made a beautiful bowl, Gary. Great use of that burl slab too. Now fill it up with M&M's (or Skittles), empty it, fill it, etc.
Bill
Thanks so much Bill. That might even be too many M&M's for me LOL
Take care,

I love board bowls. I love to watch woodturning, but it often seems there's so much waste. It's great that this was wasn't burned!
Thank you very much. I think this was the best use for this piece that I could have done. I thought about making segments out of it but this really shows off the burl.
Thanks for watching,

It’s amazing to see a flat piece of wood turn into a bowl. It’s like you took the piece of wood and shook it and a bowl fell out.
Thank you Ronnie, happy you enjoyed it.
Gary
I am glad you made a bowl, it's beautiful Gary. Very nice work, that would look good on my table!
Thank you very much Mark. I am pretty happy with how it turned out.

Bravo, what a clever jig and process… and the bowl pretty darn nice too!
Thanks so much Dennis. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Take care,
Gary
Absolutely stunning results. I really like the clever jig for cutting rings. Brilliant!
Thank you very Ben. Happy you liked it. To me it looks just as good as the solid burl section I turned.
Not bad for a remnant 😀. Wow, that is a beautiful piece, that burl is amazing.
Thank you Mark. I have to say even though this came off the burl bowl I have sitting on the coffee table this one just seems to have nicer burl. But when you think about it all the burl came from the same 1" section of the piece.

1st. That is gorgeous Gary and the grain matching looked perfect to me.
Great video as ever my friend.
Take care Gary.
Hwyl, Huw
Thank you Huh! It really is amazing that you can get the grain in something like this to line up decently.
Thanks for watching my friend.

Lovely bowl. What amazes me is how a flat piece of wood can become a bowl.
Thank you Fran. Yes it is a pretty cool way to use a piece of wood.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
GORGEOUS !!! A great save Gary !
Many thanks Jon and thanks for watching.
Gary
Absolutely beautiful Gary love that burl That wood would make a beautiful vase or goblet thanks for sharing 👍 😀
Thank you Tim. For sure it would make a nice vase. I have another large burl that will take some trimming as well.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Fantastic way to show off that burl! Thanks for sharing
Thank you Lindsey! I was happy with how it turned out.
Take care,
Gary
Well I forgot about your jig! Guess I need to eventually make one! Nice piece Gary rock on! ✌🏼💫🪵
Thank you Douglas, I hope you make a jig and have fun using it.
Take care,
Gary
Gary what a beautiful bowl my friend it turned out really smashing and also a great way of making a bowl from a flat piece of wood
Thanks so much Alan! Happy you enjoyed it.
Gary
Quick and simple you said? I don't agree, but you're the proven master! It was great pleasure for me following all the steps you went through and that bowl is so beautiful. Thank you. Best,
Thank you very much. I guess compared to what I have tomorrow this was pretty quick and simple. Hope you watch and enjoy it. I appreciate you watching and commenting.

Thanks a million, I just picked up a nice burl but I sold my lathe. You gave me the idea of cutting a slab off and I will use the scroll saw to make a bowl with the stacking technique. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you Paul. I see no reason why you will not be able to do that. Might take a little sanding to blend it in but that can be done.
Thanks for watching,

Great job Gary! Glad you didn’t fill the worm holes. I love worm holes in my pieces, big and small!
Thank you Michael! Burls are so natural it would have been a shame to fill the worm holes on this piece.
Thanks for watching,

Stunning Burl Bowl 😍 well saved
Thanks so much Denise!
Gorgeous as usual, Gary. Love it!
Thanks so much Pauline. Happy you enjoyed the video.

Fantastic project Gary. Simple, and elegant. The best kind. I really appreciate the lesson about drawing a line on your board before you cut it. That seems to really help the process, and improve the result. And once again, you have proved to all of us to SAVE EVERY PIECE! Of wood from projects, because they can come back to be beautiful. Thanks for the video, and thanks for the lesson. See you next week.
Thank you Mark. I think everyone knows this was never going near the fire pit. As a matter of fact my wife goes through the wood I bring out and says....are you sure you are not going to use this LOL.
Take care,
Gary

What a great piece of work and to get a bowl from a small flat piece of wood!! I love the shape Gary!!!

Very nice piece Gary you just can't go wrong with Burl wood. I have probably made at least 30 or more pieces out of mostly Cherry Burl and just love it. My wife and I have gotten my garage stocked up with Burls from hunting for them this past winter. So I have quite a lot of work to do this summer. Happy turning my friend ☺️
Thank you very much Edward! Where do you go burl hunting where you are able to cut them?
I do have a Siberian Elm tree in the back that is full of burls. And it will stay that way. I did get a huge limb trimmed and got some nice burl from it. But nothing like the lower 15 feet of this tree.
Take care,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 we live in central Pennsylvania about a hour west of State College. Here we have the application mountain chain running right through. Over the years I have found stands of Cherry trees that have an over abundance of Burls. We only take the dead standing or dead on the ground Burls. One other piece of advice for you is when you harvest them. Always leave at least a foot of the log on either end so that the burl doesn't crack as it dries. I would also like to say that I have always been a good Steward of nature and source my wood responsibly. Take care and Happy turning my friend 😊
Sounds perfect to find them on trees that end up on the ground. I am sure we have lots around here. Lots of trees and forest in Oregon.
@@ThePapa1947 I'm hoping to get to see that side of the country. My childhood dream was to see the Redwoods and Sequoias. Just the thought of something so much bigger than the 250 yo White oak I have on my property. I'm working on trying to save it from gypsy moths from eating it's foliage at this present time of year. Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for being such a great teacher. The world needs more people like you.
@@edwardhand7070 been to the Redwoods a few times. There is a tree there that you can drive your car through.
Also consider the Olympic National Park. And amazing place. Last time we were there we saw a Red Cedar tree that was nearly 20 foot in diameter.
That is a beautiful bowl. I have to get me one of those board cutters that you have.
Thank you John, it is a great way to use up a piece of wood like this.
Thanks for watching,

Thank you Larry, I appreciate you watching and commenting.

Gary this is an Amazing bowl and working this way a person with little money could produce a bowl quit cheaply but still use what would be an expensive wood if using a solid blank
Thank you Douglas. I think it was the best use of the burl I had save for so long.
Take care,
Gary
That’s awesome 👍
