Turning the BEAST! - Woodturning a very challenging oak burl
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 апр 2024
- Some pieces of wood scream potential, and this one screamed so loud it nearly left my lathe in pieces. This Beastly Oak Burl, packed with imperfections and promise, was a real challenge, and only you can be the judge on whether I failed or not. A real woodturning challenge.

Very nice work, Mike. I started turning in 1978 or 9. At that point in time, in my area, guys wore safety glasses, and that was it, not even dust masks and no dust collection system. Around 5 years ago, I finally started wearing a dust mask the whole time I'm turning, not just when I am sanding. I have a large dust collection system, so I never saw the need. A few months ago, my mom and my wife got together and bought me a Laguna revo 1836evs with a 2 hp motor. Now, at last, because of the power this lathe has, I am wearing a face shield while turning and sanding. It threw a 30 plus pound chunk of wood across my shop when a tenon failed and that made a big impression on me. I feel that anyone watching your channel should be able to see the ppe you are utilizing. I do not like the safety police. Your safety should be your concern not anyone else's. We are not working in a factory setting where codes and standards must be met. Most of us who have been turning for a long time have been very slow to integrate ppe into our turning. That's our fault or privilege. I think it is great that you newer turners are much more concerned with your personal safty. Thank you for being a good example to the long time turners and the newer turners. This old cooter thinks you do a very nice job with your channel Mike.
Thanks so much my friend, I do care about safety and as an 'influencer' (I hate that term) I want to try and be a good example for those people who follow me. 😀
I vote for a full safety video. I think even if you've been turning forever it doesn't hurt to have a reminder. Industry does it, the military does it, retail and restaurants do it, and we should too. Cool bowl by the way.
Thanks Brian, appreciate the feedback! 😀
Yes please - full safety video
What saved the bowl for me is the incredible Grain which is displayed. I also think the chip flying of was a blessing in disguise as it transformed the bowl into something a bit more unique than what might have been the original end result. Nice work, Nice Bowl.
Thanks Peter, this one was certainly a challenge 😄
This bowl is wonderful and I think it's final shape tells a story. I'm a H&S professional and I'm always worried about my favourite turners safety so very glad to see you're sharing the knowledge from that perspective too!
Thanks Louis, I have learned a lot working with JSP and will be passing it all on 😀
Mike, I love how you just roll with unexpected changes! Really a great way to handle a lot of things.
Thanks Dave, it's the best way when working with wood, these things happen and there is nothing you can do about it, so embrace it and adapt 😀
I would of liked that chipped piece to have been glued back on but, once you finished the piece, that dent adds character to the finished bowl. It is a work of art, unique and I love it as is. I support you doing a H & S vid as well.
Thanks so much! 😀
Hello Mike,
I think you have a new fan - my dog! She heard your dog barking, came over and stayed for the rest of the video. I think she has good taste! And the bowl is really lovely. I thought it had a real “60’s” look in the shaping you gave it. I suspect you are far too young to remember The Jetsons, but that’s what the shape reminded me of; that futuristic space vision that we were all going to be living in the next century! 🤔 As always, I hope you have a good week and I will look forward to your next “space adventure”.
Haha thanks Angela, of course I remember the Jetsons, I was born in 69 lol. Hope you have a good week as well, Mike 🙂
Wow! Amazing! It was a bold decision to cut the spiral shape into the wings. I thought I would hate it, but it turned out great!
Thanks Matt 😁
Hi Mike, so glad you have the better safety gear...farm girl, safety first. The wood is amazing and as I am not a turner, I couldn't figure out what you where doing, following the process. Beautiful bowl
Thanks Barb 😀
Always remember there are no mistakes just opportunities for something new ☺️ great work!!
Haha thanks Troy, that's how I live my life lol 😀
My husband and recently started watching your videos. They are so soothing and satisfying to watch; they make the perfect thing to watch as we are relaxing before bed. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you like them Emily, all the best to you and your husband, Mike 😀
A good example of what can happen in a split second and you handled everything with confidence and caution. The burl on that bowl is beautiful and the missing piece tells a story -- one with a happy ending. Well done.
Thanks Joyce, safety first, it pays in the long run 🙂
The wood decided. Very nice piece Mike.
At this time last year, I was effectively blind, cataracts. All my life I've done things that require various levels of protection: woodwork, welding, motorcycles, firearms... The list is long. After getting my vision back, I realized I wasn't always as safe as I should have been. I have the same face shield you were using before. I upgraded months ago. A safety video is a good idea.
As a biker, I believe in ATGATT; all the gear all the time.
Good luck, mate.
Thanks Cody, I have always tried to be safe but after talking to the experts at JSP I will be changing some of my procedures and will of course be letting everyone. All the best and so glad you can see again! All the best, Mike
Lovely bowl Mike, I'm glad you went through with a safety talk. Love the bowl shape 🏴.
Glad you enjoyed it Steve 😁
I love burl when it's mixed with the normal grain. It makes it stand out more. The spiral wings really appealed to me, more so than square. It was a good decision. That crack was terrifying. I thought the dancing lathe very entertaining.
Haha thanks Rachel, took me back to my old lathe days lol
Incredible!! Such a unique piece, it’s fabulous! The color, the grain… just wow. Smooch for Hooch 😘😘😘😘
Thank you so much Amie and Hooch sends kisses 😀
It's as beautiful as wooden turned bowls come, the bit that came off was just in the right place to add and not detract from it's beauty. A bowl that had a say in what it wanted to be (NB not literally) . Well done Mike, another amazing piece of work 👍😊
Thank you very much! 😊
There was several times in this video that I did not have any idea where you were going with it. I love the way you just go with it. Finished piece looked great though. Awesome job Mike!
Thanks William, this was a bit of a challenge lol 😀
I love the wood, the different grains are beautifull and the finishing wax gives it a kind of a golden glow… but the shape of the bowl…. I think I would have liked the bigger wings on itmorebutas you mentioned; safety first, always!!! And tips, productreviews and your real opinion on these things are very welcome during the regular video’s. Thanks again Mike for inspiring me to keep practicing and trying new things.
Thanks Peter, really appreciate it 😌
Stunning piece Mike!
Really enjoy watching you problem solve, and the innovative solutions you come up with!
Thank you! Cheers Robin, I'm just trying to keep everything as real as possible 😀
Im glad that you dodged the wood bullet! I love that unusual, creative, and beautiful bowl. The wood tells a story, and now you have a story about the wood! A dedicated RUclips safety tips video might become a must see for new and old wood turners alike. As always, great work Mike. 👍🏻 Oh, sand bags across the legs, with a set of (at least two) locking wheels. That way it’s still portable, without bolting it to the floor.
Thanks Joe, I have a 200kg rock on there at the moment 😀
I got a laugh from the vibration. It reminded me of an old movie when the space ship comes in for a crash. Great video..nice work!🍺
Thanks Stu, I had to drag it back so many times lol 😀
Beautiful oak wood. Yes, please do talk about safety products. I need some gift ideas for my grand nephew, who is graduating with a degree in construction. Thank you Mike.
Thanks Wes, will do 😄
Hi Mike, this was a good example of why to have good safety equipment like your face shield. Especially when you have pieces breaking off during turning. This was a great looking bowl with exceptional burl and featured grain. The finish emphasised the beauty of the wood and shows of you excellent turning skills. Thanks for the video looking forward to the next one.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks so much Roy 😊
i absolutely love this! the shape is fantastic and the grain looks amazing - thanks again for everything!!!!
You are so welcome Dee and thanks 😀
Beautiful piece - you really brought out the quality of the burl ! I'm glad that Plush Puppy was secured down.
Thanks Bruce, he had a rough ride but the magnets kept him safe lol 😀
As always, thoughtful and informative. I think a dedicated PPE video would be awesome. I think many would benefit and learn from your presentation style.
Thanks so much, I'll keep count of responses and make the call how I do it
Great looking piece. That burl if magnificent. I think it is great adding the PPE content to you videos. My vote would be to include them within the videos you make so we all get regular reminders.
Thanks! I have had so many requests for bot I think I'll do just that. One video to use as reference and one reminders in videos where appropriate 😀
I like the shape and that wood figuring is amazing! You made all the right decisions to showcase this bowl! Thanks Mike!
Glad you like it Brenda, all things considered it same out as well as I cold ever hoped 😀
Burl is so pretty that grain is fabulous, but it can also be difficult with cracks, I'm sad that piece came off, but u still turned out a lovely bowl 🥣 like ur new mask & drip feeding us ur latest products, great job Mike 😊
Thanks Karen, all the best, Mike 😀
It’s a beauty 🤩. And the design looks like a fossil. Nice work again💪
Thanks Wendy 😀
Great looking grain Mike, your ability to go with what ever the wood throws at you is amazing. At one point thought we might have had a smaller bowl but your skill and vision gave us a good looking bowl.
Thanks Paul, I appreciate it 😀
Another nice piece Mike. Great work. Thanks for sharing as I live watching these pieces come together!! ❤
Thank you very much Lori 😀
Actually I quite like the cosmic shape of the bowl; it pairs well with your new space helmet! 😁 Seriously the variations in grain pattern are wonderful. I thought this might be a tragedy, but you made it "stellar"! 😊
Haha thanks Cynthia, if you think this helmet is space like wait till you see what else they sent me lol 😀
I wasn’t feeling the wing on that bowl until you went with the spiral - great idea, always impressed with the way you can ‘see’ something like that in the wood, such a shame it broke a little, but well saved. I’m also getting some serious workshop envy now !
Thanks so much Dirk 😊
Beautiful save. Everything about this piece is gorgeous.
Thanks so much Clara 😀
I've always admired your gentle spirit and sense of disposition, Mike, but just this once I was hoping to hear a barely audible and proper English "oh bollocks" muttered under your breath when that piece flew off 😆
Haha sorry, I'll try harder next time lol 😂
Great save Mike! It turned out wonderfully!😊
Thanks Dianne 😀
It's stunning! I think your choices were spot-on.
Thanks so much Leigh 😀
Extremely nice shape. The idea with the spiral is really great, it gives the piece a very special character. Well done!
Thank you very much! 😊
Such a beautiful bowl, love the extra ‘detail’ that makes it super unique.
Thanks for sharing about the new face shield as well, I haven’t seen anything that rugged before, it looks great.
Thanks Charles, it really is impressively strong
A wonderful hunk of material, thank's for bringing us along on it's transformation.
You're welcome Steve 😀
How fun to play outside the lines!!! Well done.
Thanks, this was fun 😀
That one is fantastically beautiful , congratulations👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💕🇬🇧
Thanks so much 😊
I would agree with the last message regarding drip feeding etc. I love the finish on this piece Mike.
Thanks so much, so far drip feeding is winning
That turned out really nice. Love the markings in the wood 🪵. ❤❤😊
Thanks Karen, it is pretty wood! 😀
The grain is gorgeous! I love your work. ❤
Thanks Matilda 😀
Love the new shop buddy. That Burl is beautiful. Good job.
Thanks my friend 😀
Gorgeous burl! Rim design also gorgeous. Kind of a Jetsons look about it. I’d like to see chipped piece fiddled with some more to add another dimension to your rim design. I also vote for a dedicated safety episode.
Thanks Mary, it is in progress 😃
Oh man, I love that knot.
A bit sad I haven't been able to touch a lathe since March. These videos keep me going.
Glad you like them and I hope you can get back to it soon, all the best, Mike
That’s a great piece Mike! Very unusual. I love it. And a beautiful chunk of wood!
Thanks Donna 😀
well you did good at least you didnt run away when that piece flew away lol lol and it turned out wonderful
Thanks Debra, it would take a lot more than that to make me run away 😀
What a beautiful piece of Oak Burl 🤩 It’s a very interesting design you went for. You were able to showcase the gorgeous grain in the Burl.
I was originally thinking you were going to turn the bowl on the other side. Leaving it a live edge bowl.
Thank you very much Mary 😃
As always, I appreciate your design skills and your ability to take 'design opportunities' as they arise! Another lovely bowl (of course!)
As to safety tips/ PPE, I think a bespoke video of what you have learned from/ with JSP would be very useful; like many, I am sure, I have probably forgotten far too much/ have developed bad habits and, in any event, everyone can benefit from relevant reminders; on which point, the 'as and when it arises' approach in all videos would not go amiss. Keep up the good work, Mike, every day is a learning day, however experienced (or not!) one is, and you have such a wonderful delivery and approach to turning, in no time the 'safety tips' will be blending in with the turning.
Thanks so much David, talking to JSP certainly opened my eyes!
Good morning Mike! That piece of oak looks like a history book!😅❤
Good morning! And yes I agree 😀
Cracking design Mike!
Love the finish too👍
Thank you! Cheers Mick 😁
Glad you went to the quasi-nautilis shape, saving burl, but giving the wing a tooled finish. You were right to be suspicious of that crack!😮
Indeed Penny, I had a horrible feeling about it
Thanks Mike 👍 What a great result.
Glad you enjoyed it Colin 😀
Looks absolutely amazing, the wood is incredible. I really like the spiralling rim and embracing the odd mishap. I think the latter add to the pieces uniqueness. A PPE special would be great, especially if it includes the powered face shields and shop air filters :)
Thank you very much Derek and will will be showing both those things! 😀
A first class job sir, a beautiful work of art. Great save on the edge, looks great. Thanks for sharing your hard work with us all.🌿 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Very welcome and thanks Rob 😊
A gorgeous bowl indeed Mike ❤I love the edge, the spiral design gives the piece an interesting touch. A Very tactile effect I have the need to hold it! 😂😂😊 the safety PPE should be a dedicated video this way teaching the Importance of Safety while working. If little bits are 😂added in 1 video then the safety wouldn’t appear as essential. ❤ x
Thank you very much Shelley, and I'm now considering doing both to make sure the important messages get across 😀
Great bowl, Mike! You asked the question, so I'll chime in and say I much prefer you dripping in safety tips throughout the turning videos.
Thanks! I'm keeping count of requests.
Lovely burle! You did a great job showcasing it's beauty.
Thanks Kirsti 😀
Very nice bowl, Mike! The grain is outstanding.
Thanks Tracy 😀
Great job Mike love the oak burl and design
Thanks David 😀
Beautiful turning!
Lucky you Mike-that flying piece hit the wall behind you.
After seeing the bowl being treated with alcohol 1 thing coming into my head: " This burl oak grain is closely similar like a pale Desert Ironwood Burl with some Eye Burl. Lovely piece-great job!
Thanks, I would love to get hold of some desert ironwood but it's really hard to find in the UK
What a fantastic piece of wood! It turned out awesome! I have the JSP Power Cap and love it.
Thanks! I will be talking about the power cap when I get into it more. In the meantime, don't use it for sanding as it only cuts out about 90% of the dust.
I think that spiral solution was brilliant! I was a tad doubtful when you first described it but it turned out extremely beautiful!
As for PPE, I think a dedicated video would be great so people (newbies as well as experienced turners) could refer back to it using the search function. I also think any new topic regarding safety you discover as time goes on would be great to hear and you could just mention the dedicated PPE at the same time.
Thanks for another beautiful piece and entertaining vid, Mike!
Thanks Tom, I think doing both is a good idea, one to refer to and others as and when they are appropriate 😀
You did well here Mike, that looks great.
Thanks Brendan 😀
Right decision I think. Looks good and better safe than sorry!
Thanks! It was a tough one to work through! 😀
Nice work. The wood will always be what the wood wants to be. And Cracks just allow for a design change.
Thanks Mark, you are so right 👍
Nice job Mike and yes a dedicated safety video would be good 👍
Thanks so much Roy 😀
It's was definitely a good decision to leave the missing piece area alone. Great job! V
Thanks so much 😀
Hi Mike, Your "Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder " aproach was brilliant.
As for the Safety video my vote would go to Make a special video showcasing the products which I believe would work best for the company supplying the goods. Getting bang for the buck is their option at the end of the day.
I wish I could make videos like you they are so descriptive and well thought out. Thanks.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate your thoughts, all the best, Mike 😀
The wood grain is pretty spectacular. You are so good at changing each piece throughout the process as you see more and more of the grain, cracks, and character - well done!
Thank you so much Jeramiah 😀
Lovin the shape and colours mate... great job.
Thank you! Cheers Max 😀
You did a really nice job maximizing the beautiful burl grain of the bowl, Mike. The spiral wing was an interesting choice. I like watching you try new things! I do appreciate you testing and highlighting new PPE options. I personally like seeing them integrated into your video while you are working, which highlights why they are important; for example having the extended face shield on when the wing tip flew off!
Thanks, it was quite a good video to show the face shield, strange how these things happen! 😀
Amazing to see how you did the wings. Turning a ghost!
Thanks! It's just like that lol 😆
There's nothing quite as beautiful as a burl to give a piece it's beauty., lovely work Mike
Thanks so much and I completely agree 😀
Wow...I wasn't sure how that was going to turn out but it's beautiful! Great job!
Thanks Amanda, that made two of us lol 😀
Wow! I love this piece ❤ just beautiful!
Thanks so much 😀
A very Oak burl Mike but it did have some slightly concerning cracks in it that you were rightly concerned about. I love the way you plan out what you are doing on a piece like this. It was unfortunate that the piece slit off as you were turning but I think you were able 'look beyond it' & move on. The finished piece is quite beautiful, you did not fail, you triumphed & are to be commended for that. Cheers mate, Don from South Australia.
Thanks so much Dom, this was challenging but also an awful lot of fun 😀
Wow Mike. It’s beautiful! I like your new face shield and mask, and I’m glad you have them. I’d love to have one of your pieces, but postage to the US would be crazy!
Thanks so much, keep commenting and one day you could win one, all the best and thanks, Mike
Beautiful piece. You do beautiful work.
thanks so much Marie 😃
Hi Mike. I’m drinking my last cup of coffee before leaving for the pool so I’ll watch your video later but before I forget, Record Power uploaded a RUclips video yesterday on adjusting the guides on the Sabre 300. Thought you’d like to know 🌞
Thanks I keep meaning to watch it, it is a beautifully simple system
Always safety first. Great bowl , looks like a sleeping tiger in the bottom of that bowl , shame the wood split but you made a great recovery . Many thanks
Thanks Bev, there is a definite Dave in there 😄
Great video. I love the unique shape of the edges
Thank you Geoff 🙂
When I heard the piece break I said out loud “Oh No”. I'm almost didn’t want you to stop the lathe. But wasn’t near as bad as thought. I do really love the shape you chose for the rim. Beautiful artistic piece and grain is not too bad either.
Haha thanks Vicki, it did make a cool noise when it came off though lol 😀
Gorgeous bowl. Great price of wood. Even with the missing price, it is awesome.
Thanks Ronald, still not found it lol 😀
Very nice. I think the little fillets as the bowl meet the edge are a very effective. I'll steal that from you. My wife does not understand this concept for a bowl, but they do make better use of featured wood that would normally be turned off. Plus they sell well!.
Thanks and you are more than welcome to steal anything you like lol 😀
Love this bowl, Mike!
Thanks Andrea 😀
Another beauty, you are spoiling us Mr Ambassador. 😂 As you asked, I'm a drip feed kind of person, I'll take in more bit by bit.
Thanks James, I may end up doing both 😀
Stunning Job Mike!
Thanks Steve 😀
Beautiful stunning piece of work
Thank you very much! 🙏
Thank you for this lovely collaboration with the wood! And I'd like a slow feed of you patron's info integrated into the show, since you asked our preferences.
Thanks Delores, I may end up doing both but the dedicated video would be extra and not a replacement for the usual turning video
Beautiful work as always mike thank you for another great video love the creativity can't wait for another
More to come! I hope 😀
That is a good looking mask. Thx for sharing. The bowl turned out great.
Thanks for watching! The mask is in a different league to the last one 😀
Wonderful save!!
Thanks Harvey 😀
What a beautiful BURL I love this piece. It looks like it was made during the Roman period And I think a safety video would be nice to discuss what kind of respirators you need
Thanks Robert, I'll do my best 😀
The wood is so beautiful. And that makes the Bowl really amasing.
Thanks so much Lis 😀
