The aroma in the WA forests is fantastic where these buris grow 👏👏👏👏👏👏💕🇬🇧
I can imagine! 😀
Today's words of wisdom: "When things go bad, never worry about it; just think of a way to solve it." And. . . "Like all good workmen, I shall blame my tools." Another stunning piece. A joy to watch it emerge.
Thanks so much my friend, the second saying there is my favourite 😂
Years ago, when I was a young man, an older gentleman told me something I will never forget. He said to always flip the bowl over and look at the foot. If the turner spends time on the bottom for a pleasing look, you know he's good. The Marlee Burl Bowl is beautiful.
Thanks, I completely agree. All the best, Mike
WOW !!! That is some beautiful wood, and your work is spectacular, as usual. You're a real inspiration, Mike. Just a point of interest, this is November 21,2023. In two days, November 23, my wife and I will celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary !! Never thought we'd make it THIS far, but here we are !! Seems like it all went by so fast.
Happy anniversary to you and your good lady, 50 years is an amazing achievement. All the best my friend, hope you have a wonderful day on Thursday and celebrate in style 😀
Congratulations
@@stevebettany8778 THANK YOU !!!
Congratulations to you Bill, and your Wife. My Wife tells me I have no chance of us making it that far if I keep spending more time watching Mike's videos than with her! (... and I am not sure if she is joking!)
@@davidbaxter5132 Thank you !! Wow ! I didn't expect congratulations from Mike's video messages !! HAHAHAHAHAHA !
What phenomenal piece of wood. One of the best that you've turned. Thank you for revealing it's inner beauty.
Wow, thank you! 😀
Perfect. Another $1000 bowl in the bag in the right gallery.
Well it sold for a lot less than that but I was happy 😀
It's impossible to tire of watching turning, and wood working in general. There is always something new to see in wood.
I completely agree, every piece is different and has something to offer 😀
A piece of burl woodturning on UA-cam that hasn’t been doused in a myriad of coloured resins.. How novel 😂
Love the final piece btw.. Stunning 👌🏻
Thanks so much John 😄
With the alcohol as well as the final finish, the grain looks three dimensional. So incredibly beautiful.
It really is so very pretty, I need some more to turn 😊
"winging it" lol! It really is an amazing piece, but looks really challenging to turn. That shock at 13 mins! The video allows us to see some of the grain, but I'm sure it can't compare to the beauty in real life. The shape is very much your style. Love it.
"Winging it" made me chuckle too 😄
Thanks Rachel, the grain is just amazing up close!!!! 😀
That is a beautiful bowl. One more for the records, man.
Thanks Archie, I'll remember this one for a very long time 😀
The bowl is so beautiful, it looks like glass, absolutely unique and pretty!
Thank you so much! 😀
Well done Mike, I thinkyou did that piece of burl justice. Nice Job !!!
Thanks so much Brian 😀
A very strange looking piece of wood, that turns into a beautiful bowl. The pattern even resembles marble. How nice to know someone who will send you wood like that.
Thanks! It's amazing to be sent wood like this but it does dome with a hefty price tag lol 😀
The grain on this beautiful wood, to me, when finished, has a resemblance to Coral. Very nice work👍👍
Haha I think it will last till the end of time 😀
Simply gorgeous! Well done, as always!
Thanks so much 😀
Love the wings!!!! Really allows you to show off a whole piece of this amazing wood.
Thank you very much Heather 😀
WOW! Just WOW!!
haha I guess you like it 😀
I have to say it 'great Aussie timber'. Now that's out of the way, this is a fantastic piece of woodturning, you have done an amazing job of making the bowl look as though it is fitting inside of 'a frame'. As you so accurately say Mike, the grain on this piece does look amazing over every square centimeter. Lovely finish with the Danish Oil & it's the first4 time I have ever heard of potential danger if not handled correctly. Brilliant work my friend & brilliant commentary as you go, so natural & relaxed as always. Cheers, Don from South AUSTRALIA.
Thanks again Don, I'm starting to really look forward to your comments lol. There are some beautiful Australian woods out there and I intend to turn as many different types as I can get my hand on. I have two more red Mallee burls in the workshop which I can't wait to start. All the best my friend, Mike 😀
This is absolutely beautiful. Definitely one of my favorites so far. I really appreciate you sharing this with us!
Thank you so much and I have to admit. it is just about my favourite as well 😀
Just beautiful wood and a great job! I especially liked the top rim inside bevel to match the angle of the bowl below. Great idea, and creative thoughtfulness as always!
Thanks so much Joe 😀

I am a proud Australian who lives in the Mallee country that extends across the north west of Victoria into the south west of New South Wales. it is great to see our beautiful Mallee burl being available to, and appreciated by, artisans in other countries.
This wood is created by nature from trees that survive the harsh extremes in weather conditions in this semi arid climate. Temperatures regularly reach 40C in summer and -2C in winter with strong winds and little rain year round.
The Knarled twisted trees create amazing dense grain patterns and form intricate burls through constant stresses on their limbs.
The roots of these trees are also valued as firewood because they are long burning and produce a lot of heat.
Hi there many thanks for taking the time to send a message, harsh weather can produce some of the most beautiful wood. I have heard about it's value as a firewood! I'm turning a wood at the moment, that sinks in water, does not burn and has that much oil in the wood you can sand it with normal sandpaper. All he best, Mike
@@MikeHolton so one of the tree species they call ‘lignum vitae’ I’m guessing? Best of luck, that stuff is supposed to be a bit difficult to work with. But well worth it.
@@Jaydaydesign You guessed right, very much worth the effort 😃
What a STUNNING piece! Simply gorgeous, could look at that for hours. Thanks for another great video
Thanks so much, me too and fact I have been 😀
That is a beautiful piece! I liked how you went ahead and included the spiky voids in the rim of the bowl, very well done! It gives the piece a classier look.
Thank you very much Joe, I do like the way this one came out 😀
