- Dangerous Burl Live Edge Bowl Woodturning
Super scary wood bowl turning. USE CAUTION!
I knew this Live Edge Burl Live Oak Bowl wasn't going to be easy. However, I didn't realize that about halfway in it was going to try to attack me. With the wormholes, bark enclosures, and spalt, I wasn't going to give up turning this beautiful wooden bowl. And I'm glad I didn't, the results are amazing. Please remember to use super caution when woodturning any piece of unusual or irregular wood.

Scary beautiful bowl. Get job on the turning and staying safe. I'm learning so much. Who says an old dog can't learn? 83 and turning daily.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
This is one of the most, if not THE most beautiful turned bowl I have ever seen.
Thank you so much for showing that such a difficult piece of wood can get turned, what kind of problems are hiding in it and how to solve them.
Liked and subscribed! 👍❤
Wow, thank you! Thanks for the kind words and for subscribing. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
That turned out great! A little tricky but some precautions prevented a disaster! Do you ever use epoxy to fill in areas or stengthen weak spots? I would think in some cases it could be helpful. Thanks for sharing Kent!
Yes, definitely. Happy Turning!
Que lindooooooo! Quero aprender fazer esse tipo de arte my name is MARIA BELAS. BRASIL!!!
Obrigada. Você consegue. Tenho muitos vídeos que podem ajudar. Veja a lista de reprodução do Bowl Gouge para começar. Tudo de bom para você e Happy Turning!
Love that bowl, where cai I get the fine nibs for CA bottles and how do you avoid ca penetrating your skin when filling cracks etc with ca & sawdust?
Thanks. The CA nibs should come with your CA when you purchase. You can spray the CA with accelerator which dries it quick, but you will probably get a little on your fingers. No problem it comes off…after a day or two. ;) Happy Turning!
*When you generally have no interest in wood turning and/or carving but you enjoy anyway*
Welcome, glad you enjoyed!
I can tell you it’s interesting for woodturners as well. 👌🏼
@@Hr1gunnar aaaaaaaaaaa
Spectacular. Great and valuable detail on working with fragile burl, and beautiful shape and finish. Thanks!
That is a really cool piece. It just demonstrates what nature can give us to play with! Well done.
Thank you, Bruno! Yes, nature is AMAZING! Happy Turning!
Я из города Бишкек Кыргызстан
What a beautiful bowl. I have tried several natural edge bowls but I have difficulty with the bark coming loose and off. Many times I cut out instead down into the bottom. thanks for this video.
Thank you very much! Glad you liked this one. Happy Turning!
Reallly enjoy watching this guy,,,,,,sooo many people who are good turners seem to forget that they were beginners too and they sought info,,,,this guy does really great at explaining what and why,,,thanks
Thanks John 👍Happy Turning!
Absolutely gorgeous, Kent. Lots of nervous moments around 35 minutes but the end product is just beautiful. I’ve learnt where the expression ‘gaffer’ tape comes from, too - I never knew it was a movie term, but hey ho. By the way, that’s the first time I’ve heard someone refer to a half inch bowl gouge as small or smaller - I’ve just bought an Ellsworth / Irish grind 1/2 inch gouge and it seems at least twice the size of my 3/8 inch one! Excellent stuff anyhow, thank you v much. Best Hugh
LOL, that's funny. Well, after beating up large bowl blanks with a 5/8" and 3/4" gouge, the 1/2" looks and feels delicate. ;) Happy Turning!
You're not a wood turner (although you are and an incredible one at that!) you're an artist. What an incredible bowl and want an inspiration you are...
Thank you, Ben! Happy Turning!
THAT'S WILD!! It has such a living appearance and one could spend hours just talking about it and all the differences!! Nice effort!!
Thank you, Christian! Happy Turning!
Very nice work. Beautiful bowl.
Thank you very much!
Impressionante! Qual a rotação você usou? Pareceu um trabalho extremamente cuidadoso para evitar quebras e rachaduras e nesses casos a rotação do torno é fundamental, não?
Parabéns!! Lindo trabalho e resultado!
Obrigado. Boa pergunta. Eu sempre viro a uma velocidade que não cria vibrações. Eu não uso a leitura RPM como um guia. Em vez disso, eu vou por sentimento. Nesta peça, eu virei um pouco mais devagar para que as peças não voasse. Tudo de bom para você e Happy Turning!
Just getting started with wood turning Picked up a90 craftsman wood lathe 12 in. In great shape and works well. I'm 81 and looking forward to this new hoppy. Your videos are great
That is awesome Don! Thanks and Remember; persistent, patient practice will yield the bowls you imagine creating! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
The bowl is possible the most beautiful and most figured thing I have ever seen. I'm glad you decided to pick up those oak burls!
Thank you kindly! Happy Turning!
Fantastic Bowl!! Your videos are extremely helpful! Thank you.
I have a similar shaped eucalyptus burl that I am trying to turn at the moment. I have attached the flattest side of the burl to a faceplate which is centred, although as i turn on the lathe it starts to vibrate to a point that i don't think it is safe enough to turn. Do you have any advice as to how to get more equal weight distribution or or how to stop the rocking and vibrating of the lathe?
First of all, turn the lathe speed down if the lathe is variable speed. If that's not possible, be sure to stand out of the line of fire and slow turn away material until the piece becomes more balanced. These types of turnings rarely become perfectly balanced ever. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
So, I'm a 61-year-old lady whose Dad did tree work on the side, his entire life.
We heated the entire house with a wood burning stove in the 1970s.
He & mom bought 75 acres of land in the early 1950s, so wood was super easy to come by. Not to mention all the tree work he did.
All these years, I've had NO IDEA what the glob of tree is called on the trunk of a tree, but I've certainly seen & wondered about them my entire life!
I've always thought they were quite interesting!
Now I know what they're called and some info about them! I always wondered if it was full of bugs or ants of some type, and apparently that can cause the burl. And fungus.
Thanks for giving me something to learn new today!
Great Channel!! 🌳 🌲 🌳 🌲
Oh Wow! You have burls!!??!!! ;) Yeah, those are a very good thing, especially for us turners. All the best to you.
A beautiful piece. Your detailed explanations of everything you were doing is number one. The info necessary to do this is all there. But beyond me. LOL
Thank you very much!
Instablaster...
Привет братишка красивые изделия!!! Плохо что английский язык у вас.
Я хотел бы поделиться всем этим с миром на всех языках. Всего вам доброго и счастливого обращения !!!
Thanks for explaining what and why you are doing. Lots of really excellent turners don't give information that is helpful to those of us just learning or expanding our skills. This is a truly amazing piece.
Thanks 👍 Glad it was helpful!
I do agree! Very informative!
Same opinion
This video and other turners, have piqued MY interest! Now how do I make them FAST and CHEAP for the relatives by Christmas? LOL
Nice work!
I'm new to this, and I find the skew much easier to use to dovetail the tenon. I'm curious as to why you prefer the gouge for this job? Thank you for these videos, I find them to be the best available on you tube for where I'm at.
Just my preference. The skew makes a good tenon as well. Happy Turning!
That bowl came out beautiful! You really brought out the character in the wood. Who would think something so lovely would be inside that ugly old burl.
Thank you so much. I agree, you'd never think this piece would make a beautiful bowl. Happy Turning!
CA glue and saw dust combination has always been questionable in my mind for strength. I’ve seen too many failures in bonding over the years. It might be good for putting balsa wood air planes together, but I’ve always questioned its strength while turning wood.
If I encounter a void in the wood that will be eventually turned away, I will mix a concoction of baking soda and CA glue to fill it. This makes a very hard and strong temporary patch. But, you don’t want to leave it on the finished product surface since it will not take stains or other finishes other than paint. However, as I think about it, what’s to keep one from mixing CA glue with saw dust and baking soda to make patches. Maybe some dyes or other coloring could be mixed to patch wood voids or punky wood.
That is a beautiful ball and I was sitting here watching with my husband and said oh honey I want one of those and I don't want very much but that is gorgeous
I love it! Thank you so much! Simple pleasures are the best. Take care!
Nice love the look of this bowl it looks like even with coring cuter you have a lot of hours in this piece great job
Thank you, Wade. Happy Turning!
You have a great eye and very good skills to execute you vision. I was afraid that it was going to crack on you.
You and me both! Thank you for your kindness. Happy Turning!
A beautiful piece of art, I’d love to have a bowl like this on my table xx
Thank you! Cheers! Happy Turning!
Great project but even more your commentary is extraordinary and helpful to us who are striving to improve. Thanks!
Glad to hear that! I thought about doing the "silent" videos, actually did a couple, but there is too much worth sharing. Glad you like these. Thanks and Happy Turning!
Great video and a really interesting piece of wood! I have a question for you. When I turn bowls, I usually sand and finish the outside before I turn it around and put it in the chuck. In this case, since there are so many bark inclusions and punky areas, I would think that some sanding sealer and finish might help to stabilize the bowl as you hollow it. Did you consider doing something like that to limit the dangers of losing pieces while hollowing? If so, I'd like to hear what your thoughts were and why you decided to go without.
Yes, indeed, I will use shellac to strengthen weak fibers and glue delicate areas if needed. With an open design like this bowl, accessing the exterior after the turning is not much of a problem, so waiting until the end is ok. Hope that helps. Happy Turning!
your prediction and preventive measures taken to be able to complete the bowl show the true skill you have to be a master. Thank you for sharing your skill and looking forward to more.
I appreciate that! Thank you and Happy Turning!
That is a beautiful creation. Once again so much knowledge passed on to all of us although some of that I watched from behind the couch. Thank you and looking forward to more.
Wow, thank you, John! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
has anyone tryed to cook it in oven on non burning for wood temperature to kill it to never ever grow, shrink or etc?
Good thought, but drying in the oven will remove moisture too quickly and cause major stress fractures and cracks.
@@TurnAWoodBowl i think there must be the right temperature and timing to do it perfectly fine, tho wood thickness should be thin to do it consistantly, if wood is thick microwave will heat up insid and outside of the wood on the same temperature, this thing is hard to master :3
A masterclass in woorturning. Lots of skill and practice on show here. I particularly liked the running commentary added after the video was made - some very useful tips also, some of which I was aware of but also a few new ones learnt. I always remember my woodturning teacher telling me to look at the form, the shape, keep the curve continious and even, no bumps or flats. Great result. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much. Yes, watch that form. ;) Happy Turning!
The dangerous burl live edge bowl was fantastic my friend i have often wanted to try doing one you have really inspired me I have got got to try it plus I shaped a bowl gouge into a swept back one and have never been able to master it but I am sure I can do it now thanks a lot you are brilliant
Thank you so much for your kind words. Happy Turning!
Nice work 👍
Thank you
i fee this bowl would have benefitted from some Clear Resin to hold it all together and fill the voids .would have been safer as well :)
Yes, that could work, but I didn't want I wanted the wood to shine and not resin for this one. Thanks.
@@TurnAWoodBowl it ended up looking good i was really worried a bit would fly off and hit you .never done any woodturning but i enjoy watch clever people like you do it
Great video watching tips on filling and tool handling
Thanks 👍 Happy Turning!
Leaned so much again Kent now I want to give a birl a whirl. Thanks for taking the time to edit the video well but then again, to take the time and effort to do your narration afterwards. So much more informative than the "watch this" types of videos.
Barry, thank you for your appreciation! Happy Turning, Kent
Amazing work and an incredibly beautiful bowl! Congratulations on your bravery!
Greg, thank you! Perhaps more luck than bravery. ;)
I know you want a natural look. But filling the cracks could be filled with Epoxy. It will also look lovely
You are correct. Happy Turning!
Amazing wood work! Thank you. May I ask, what is CE which closed the seams and cracks. Thank you!
CA is essentially Super Glue. I use a very thin version. Happy Turning!
I have noticed that you normally make a shoulder when creating a tendon. Is that necessary or can you just have the bottom of the bowl act as a shoulder when placing tendon into the chuck? What is your ideas on this. Thanks.
Great question. Watch this video ruclips.net/video/zhu-PQuOdS8/видео.html
Such a soothing voice, I don't even have an idea what I'm watching but best ASMR for sleep ever.
Excellent!!! Glad to help. LOL
😂😂 lots of good information if you listen carefully 👍🏻👌🏼
Great job! I love the way this bowl turned out. It’s beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!

That is an absolutely beautiful piece! Great video and explanation of what you were doing throughout the entire project.
Thank you very much!

Great technical demonstration and info, and a beautiful finished bowl. Burls like this don't come up very often but when they do they're worth the effort.
Thank you very much! Yes they are worth it. Happy Turning!
Svaka cast sta sve moze od jedno drvo otpadak kapa dole
Svaka cast od jedno drvo odpad napraviti ovo kapa dole
I have a couple of Elm burls laying around. I think I’m gonna go to the shop today and start doing something fun with them.
Great video ...You did a wonderful job of teaching us all about the process of making this bowl Thank You Ohh Love the bowl.
Thank you so much! Glad you liked this!
WOW! What a stunning result...a true work of art.
It was a long video, but as a relative novice I really appreciated it and learned a lot about how to turn a bowl like this safely and to produce a beautiful result!
Thank you very much! If you liked this one, I have many other videos that will help you greatly. Happy Turning!
Great Video! I'm a new subscriber and look forward to watching your future lessons on woodworking! Keep up the good work. You are a master artist! 👍😷👍
Thank you so much!
Wow. Amazing!!! I’m down here on the west coast of Florida and we are surrounded by these live oaks. I’m just getting into turning and I’ve been a woodworker for 20+ years and was always told down here that the live oaks were not good for woodworking. I’m originally from New England area. So I really didn’t know much about live oaks but I have to say I’m pretty impressed with what I’ve seen so far. I’m purchasing a couple of your courses this weekend. And I’m looking forward to really start to master wood turning. Thank you
Thank you, and Welcome Jason! Well, the live oaks were go enough to build ships back in the day. I think a few bowls should be a piece of cake. ;) All the best to you and Happy Turning!
That carboard circle is a pretty neat trick.
Thanks!
How many times did you need to sharpen your tools on this burl... how many different tools were used, to avoid dulling them in this turning job?
Not sure, maybe 4-5 times to the sharpening wheel. Two tools, one 5/8" gouge to rough and a 1/2" to make finishing cuts.
GORGEOUS!!!!! Count me in as a new fan of yours! P.S. What do you do with all those delicious live pieces of bark that you cut away? They're much too yummy to throw away! :)
Thank you so much, and welcome! I save the larger ones for other turnings later. ;) Happy Turning!
Nice! You're right, oak is hard to work with on a lathe. I can't imagine what it's like turning a burl of oak. i've got two burls drying to turn. One is cherry and the other is maple. They will be my first burl bowls. Any suggestions are appreciated
Take your time, stop often and pay attention to the wood as you turn. Use tape if possible to secure areas of weakness. All the best to you. Happy Turning!
@@TurnAWoodBowl Thank you
The expertise used to turn the interrupted cut of varying hardness is amazing. The morse taper extension in the tailstock is commonly called a drill extension and is available from machine shop suppliers ($20-$30) with different morse tapers in the hole and the shank. This lathe has standard #2 morse tapers so getting 2 extensions with a #2 morse taper shank combined with #1 morse taper bore (hole) effectively allows turning very small projects like pens in larger lathes using small lathe centres and drives. Larger bore than shank adapters are also available for larger accessories but have to be used with caution because large accessories can overload the lathe.
Great information. Thanks for sharing. Happy Turning!
Hi Kent. I bought a maple burl that was cut in December of 2020. Should I cut it into two pieces and let it dry that way or should I leave it whole? How long should it dry? It’s about two feet long and almost completely circumvented the tree trunk. Thanks. Tom
Wow, that sounds amazing. Without seeing it, I couldn't tell you. Burls are each one of a kind and need to be treated so. Do what works for you and what you feel you can manage. Enjoy! Happy Turning!
You are very professional. One question: what's the name of that curv toolrest whit bowl gouge? Thanks, you are great to teach!!!
Thank you, Juan! Thats the J-tool rest from Robust. Here's a link amzn.to/3OMZymf Happy Turning!
I love the work you do. It has given me lots of ideas, from turning different types of wood, to how you set up your work area. I'm curious though, if you have any preferences on location of each gouge. For instance one side is all spindle type and the other side bowl type, or carbide?
Thank you very much! I'm not sure about your question. I use all bowl gouges and turning tools intended for bowls. I only use the spindle gouge for minor details, like the dovetail angle of the tenon. Happy Turning!
I have been latterly holding my breath through this entire movie and enjoyed it thoroughly . Good job !
I'm smiling. I was holding my breath while I was turning this. LOL Happy Turning!
hi Kent, We have an odd shaped burl that we are having trouble determining how to get the most out of it. Your burl is almost bowl shaped to start with. Ours is 5 feet long, and about 20 inches in diameter. We have a sawmill. My thought is to cut it into 3 6 -7 inch slabs and then cut bowl blanks. Do you have any thoughts?
Burls are tricky Chris. Yes, it sounds like you are on the right path. Perhaps cut a small section and turn it. Then you will be able to best determine what to do with the remainder. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
I love to watch turners who know what they are doing. Very nice indeed.
Thank you kindly! Happy Turning!
Baking soda and CA fills voids super solid! (works much better than sawdust method) Give it a try!!
Thanks for sharing. Happy Turning!
I know what you mean about live oak. Looks good after turned but it seems to never quit moving. tension and compresion constantly at work. Irma went right through my yard. lost a big oak tree . where in Fl. do you live ? you did a great job on a very difficult wood.
Thank you, John! Yes, it should be called "alive oak" LOL. I'm in Central Florida. Happy Turning!
Nice turning, I also live in SW Florida and had a large amount of live oak come down on my property during Irma. Where are you at? I'm in LaBelle.
North of Orlando
I would have just cleaned the outside and hollowed it from inside. I would have designed a beautiful stand for it to stay in firmly. May be used a clear wood preservative to keep the fungus out ... It was a work of Arts of Nature.
Thanks for the tip
Kent. I haven’t heard the tape referred to gaffers tape. Up here we refer to it as duct tape. We had a tv personality who portrayed this off centre kind of guy. The show was known as the Red Green show. He used duct tape to mend everything or connect everything. It was quite humorous. Lasted several years too. Tom
I'm familiar to the Red Green Show, very funny stuff. But, no, this is not duct tape, it's a completely different animal. Duct tape will leave gummy adhesive behind and the hold is so-so compared to gaffer's tape. Happy Turning!
Beautifully turned burl, very informative video.
Thank you very much!
I have watched and enjoyed a ton of your vids, but not until this project did I realize just how good you really are. You are truly an inspiration.
Thank You!!!
Wow, thank you! Much appreciated, Mark!
Lovely! Stunning!!!
Thank you! 😊
Loved the whole process ... but especially the ending wherein you mention making your own shellac. I agree completely that the home made shellac is SO much nicer than any store bought shellac. Thanks again ... I truly enjoy your straight forward, simple teaching style. Happy turning!! Geoff
Thank you, Geoff! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Dude, you are a great teacher! I love how you tell and show how to do it. You do so many things that make so much sense to me. Keep up the Great work
I appreciate that! Thank you so much!
I notice you always talk about making sure the tailstock is tight.. you have a “spindle “ lock on top and on the back, but I never see you using it.. ?
Great point, Keith. Because locking that can give a false-positive that the quill is tight against the wood. Happy Turning!
Многое хотелось узнать об обратном изделии
Thanks for this turning bowl work and the things I learned
Great it has helped! Happy Turning!
Did you skip the part when you signed the bottom? At about 51:27, you go from sanding the bottom to applying finish; and the finishing footage shows what looks to be your signature?
Yes, sorry. I was trying to keep the video under 60 mins.
Geesh what a great video.
Well scripted, informative, really really good.
As a new turner this was really fun to watch. Thanks!
Oh thank you so much! I'm glad you liked this video. All the best to you!
WOW! Intensive! That's gotta be AT LEAST a $200 bowl!
Ha, thanks. It's not for sale…yet. Happy Turning!
looks like a piece of scrap wood
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. ;) Happy Turning!
Wouldn't it have been better to seal the burl in epoxy ?
Excellent video, Thanks
Good question, John. Well, I wanted to keep this piece as natural looking as possible. Happy Turning!
I turned a lidded box and a vase from a small piece of Brazilian pepper that was a casualty of Irma. Good way to remember her
Yes indeed, Douglas! Happy Turning!
I call them warts on the skin of a tree,remove the & they will not kill a living tree.
Alright. Thanks
@@TurnAWoodBowl And ,thank you for your great video,you are a very go0d teacher. You have a nice day,please.
whoa. i wish my grandma was alive to see this. I'm in southern/mid california and if you ever want more coast live oak... i'm broke, but i'd be happy to send you anything you can get shipped, green or cured. specifically i'm in santa barbara, and i'm seeing we have 456 species here. of most note would be the coast live oak, the valley oak up in santa ynez over the hill, sycamore, (esp. some of the large exposed roots in "creeks", which here means channels of rock with slight moisture deep down) eucalyptus varieties... check it out if you're interested. landscaping is one of the only trades less affected by the pandemic, so we're still working. are you a professional teacher? absolutely professional result. i don't understand why you don't have more subscriptions. push the button on the left, people!
Thank you so very much for your kind words. It sounds like you have some amazing tree species around you! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Absolutely a wonderful learning experience ! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
@@TurnAWoodBowl !
Great job turning as well as explaining. I relived a similar experience with a maple burl which now sits on our dining room table.
Sounds great! It's fun having these pieces around isn't it? Happy Turning!
This is the most beautiful bowl I’ve seen. What a wonderful, talented wood worker you are!!
Thank you very much, I appreciate YOU! Happy Turning!
When you get it to the point it wants to come apart, why not take it off the chuck and soak it in epoxy? And what if the epoxy soaked through the wood was colored so that when it was turned all the voids would be colored?
That's a possibility, but I like the natural look without epoxy on this one
This is an amazing piece of artwork from an ugly piece of wood 👍
Ha! That's one way of looking at it. ;) Happy Turning!
My nephew works for the state and he got me a truck load on burls. Of black gum burl and cherry and mulberry.
Wow! Can I meet your nephew? Ha! Sounds like some great turning in your future. Enjoy and Happy Turning!
Very beautiful bowl. Real skill to keep it together. Congratulations.
Thank you kindly! Happy Turning!
Man, that truly was the only wood turning I ever watched that I could consider exciting! I couldn't even pause for dinner until I saw how this event was going to "turn" out. I thought for certain that the piece was going to totally explode! Great work.
You and me both! Thanks for watching. Happy Turning!
Stunning, absolutly stunning... I did a cherry burl with bark inculusions and I can appreciately the work that went in to the bowl. Beautiful work!!!
Thank you for writing and sharing Jimmy! Happy Turning!
Nice job and it sure looks organic. I'd say that had to be one of your more precarious projects to work on.
Yes it was. Thank you kindly! Happy Turning!
Excellent.
But the alcohol you are referring is not food safe, as per description.
It does evaporate off. If you'd like to use an alternative try pure grain alcohol. Happy Turning!
What is this glue youre using? looks like super glue but somehow doesnt clog the nosel of the bottle? whats that? =)
This is super-thin CA. It's thinner than water. Happy Turning!
OMG!!!
Smiles ;) Thanks!
i had nightmares because of this burl, please include content warning
LOL, ok. WARNING --- This video could cause nightmares. ;) Happy Turning!
Made me nervous to watch but what an outcome! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Michael. Made me a bit nervous too. LOL Happy Turning!
