I love it. You could actually display it upside down and show the red side and it would still be a piece of art
Thanks, that is actually how it is sitting right now on my desk 😀
You could call it the "Burl Bird Bath" I love watching you turn, it's amazing what you find when your done.
Your knowledge of exotic wood is eye opening. Keep up the great work.
Thanks David, all my knowledge comes from research, I like to be able to tell a story about the wood rather then just turn it. All the best, Mike 😀
I think you should call it "GEORGE".... 😊...
It's stunning, absolutely BEAUTIFUL......👍.
Haha 😂 thanks
Yippee it's Tuesday!
Can't wait to watch
Haha enjoy 😀
I did, thank you
All of humanity could take a lesson from you on how to handle it when things go wrong. Thank you for showing us the proper way to handle disappointment.
Thanks, life is too short to let the little things get in the way, these things happen so take the opportunity to try something different 😊
That is the prettiest burl! Thanks Mike!
I think so too! 😁
Not very many words, just beautiful Mike.
Thanks Albert 😀
Call it what it is, a Beautiful, Balanced, Burl Bowl
Thanks Damien, I'm too modest to call it that myself but thanks 😀
Love red mallee! So creative!
Thank you Alicia 😊
Burl world looks awesome.
Haha thanks Mark 😀
A perfect name for that beautiful bowl would be "Great A'tuin"! Named after the turtle that is carrying the world on its back through space ❤ Great work, as always 🙌
Another Pratchett fan, excellent!
Thanks Tom, that is a great name and as a huge Pratchett fan I agree 😀
Absolutely!@@MikeHolton
The colors are fantastic. I love that Burl the bottom half looks like a microscopic tardigrade a very, very small animal
Thanks Robert, I’m off to look it up ☺️
The shape and texture of this beauty reminds me of our sun during a "Solar Flare".
Thanks Harvey, it certainly is an amazing wood! 😀
Wow! That is so unique! No one else going to have one.
Thanks Nana and you are right, the first and the last and impossible to reproduce 😀
@@MikeHolton Charge up on that one if you sell it. Worth it!
@@nanalefevre3670 Haha thanks Nana 😀
I think a small dish with that red would've made a beautiful piece as well. Hope you get another one.
I have a few already waiting 😀
Absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊
What a beautiful piece. I really love the way it turned out. I'd call it "Unified"
Thank you very much Joyce, the title suggestion is one of the best so far!!!
Fantastic. Love these burls.
Me too! I could turn them all day 😀
I think this is my favorite piece! You artist you!
Haha thanks Kirsty, you nice person you 😀
Beautiful, she'll 😊
Thank you! 😊
That's absolutely gorgeous. ❤❤🎉🎉😊
Thank you Karen 🙂
Thanks for leaving the bog oak part in the video. Makes me feel better about my turning to see a pro do what I do
This is real life and I have no intention of hiding anything. Mistakes and problems are how we learn 😁
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers! 😄
I'd call it the Giant's Foot. Love your work and your attention to detail.
Thanks so much 😀
What a beautiful piece this turned out to be. l love the grain of all burl wood, but this one is just stunning. You are a master of your craft and l just love watching a piece of wood become a masterpiece. This one is a winner.
Thank you so much 😀
Definitely an art piece. Kraken Bowl sounds good to me.
I think so too! Thanks Tim ☺️
Beautiful display piece!!!
Thanks Harold 😀
It became a wood of art ☺☺
Thanks my friend 😀
The Red Boot Burl!
Haha so many people think it looks like a boot 😀 thanks, Mike
What a great idea. Unique!
Thank you Mark 😊
Octobowl
Brilliant Mike!
Haha love it, thanks Bob 😀
Looks like a bowl on a slipper. Great project!
It does! Thanks James 😁
I would call it 'odd' in the nicest way, absolutely lovely🏆
Haha thanks Chris and I have to agree 😀
I would call it the krackij bowl because the bottom looks like the head of a krackin from the sea. It's a beautiful piece.❤
Thanks Jodi, good name!
The grain on burls is very nice a great design. Thanks for another great video.
Thanks David glad you enjoyed it ☺️
The big mallee foot,love it but if you had turned the red underside you could
Have it as a flip bowl 🎉❤
I know that now but it’s a little late 😂
Was sad when the Bog Oak split, but Plan B ended up being spectacular! I can imagine a bonsai tree in a shallow bowl-shaped planter atop this beautiful piece.
Thanks Charmaine, that is a great idea I bet it would look amazing!
This is very nice, has a natural kind of look to it.
Thanks so much 😀
Excellent project.
Glad you like it Rex, all the best, Mike 😀
Fantastic piece, Mike
Thanks my friend ☺️
Hi Mike; WOW!! Another unique 'learning experience' for us all and from your masterful self-control (at least on camera!) I see a boot in the lower half, and reflecting that, and in homage to the path you took from idea, through the creation, overcoming adversity, to the final wonderful finished piece, my name suggestion is "Best foot forward".
Thanks David, I have never been one to get mad when things don't go well, love the name suggestion thanks! 😀
Beautiful wood what a wood wizard you are you never disappoint look forward to every week to see what you can enthrall us with.When you put on the oil I thought it looked like avery bad acne but that is bad.How about a magical wooden puffer fish.Cheers Mike stay safe and love you're family.
Thanks so much Doug, sorry for the late reply but your message was flagged as spam and put in a separate folder 😀
Beautiful piece.
Many thanks my friend 😀
Very creative. Definitely like the burl on burl better than on the bog oak. 'A bowl of two burls'
Haha thanks Roger I love the name idea, thanks 😀
Thanks 👍. That’s quite unique,I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it. Looks amazing.
Thanks Colin, I have never seen anything like it I know that 😀
What a nice piece. Turned out very good despite the little 'mishap'.
Thanks so much 😀
Great piece of work. I agree that the base reminds me of an octopus. With all the burly texture on the 2 parts reminding me of coral, how about naming it “Under the Sea.”
Beautiful bowl.
Thanks Doug, this is probably my strangest piece yet 😁
Great job as usual. I’ve never commented on you work before but have been watching your videos for a long while. Always a thumbs up.
Carl
Thanks Carl, and thanks so much for your support, all the best, Mike 😀
An amazing statement piece
Thanks so much Simon 😀
Another beauty Mike well done that burr looks amazing 👍😊
Glad you enjoyed it Will, I have so many ideas now on this these I may be spending all my money on burrs 😀
A very interesting way to combine the two pieces of Burl. I love the outcome. I wpold never have thought to do this. You always give me more ideas to use.
Thank you! Cheers Jim 😀
Would beautiful or out of this world be a good name?. Excellent job, love your work.😍😍😍
Haha thanks my friend, all the best, Mike 😀
Very nice! I knew that beautiful red would disappear, but you made it beautiful anyway. Great job!
Thanks Shawn, I thought a bit may have been left but that is the way it goes 😀
Good evening, Mike.
The 'Burly Birdbath' is a wonderful piece. New subscriber and very much enjoy your work.
Ray
Thanks and welcome Ray, all the best, Mike 😀
Great looking piece that has given me an idea for a couple of “odd” pieces that I have in stock.
Go for it Edward and let me know how you get on 😁
Serendipity? I think you ended up with the best base; the 'mirror' effect is spot on!
Thanks James, I think you are right 😀
I like!
Thanks Scott 😀
Great work. Definitely a piece of art!
Thanks so much Scott 😀
Another excellent video
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Nice work Mike! I think that would be a nice centerpiece on a coffee table. Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏🏻!
Thanks Stephen, I think it would as well, wonder if my wife would agree lol 😀
What a beautiful turning! The bottom looked kind of oceanic wildlife to me also. I say call it the Squid bowl.
It really does have that look, thanks 😀
I would call it - The Bowl Yoda keeps his old toenail clippings in!"
Haha thanks Matt 😂
I love the piece. Such wonderful grain is not easy to turn away, like the red part of the burl.
You do like to give yourself challenges, very hard mallee, then even harder bog oak. So glad the bog oak did not cause injury when it came off.
Shame the lower piece has the red wood on the underside.
Well done. As you said, very distinctive. Nice piece of wood art.
Dave.
Thanks Dave, I don't intentionally set out to give myself a hard time it just seems to happen lol 😀
Beautiful I❤️ it😊
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful piece! V
Thank you very much! 😀
Very unique piece..beautiful ❤. I can see it standing as a very fancy tip-bowl in a restaurant or a hotel..
Haha thanks Wendy 😀
Have you seen the videos of octopuses carrying coconut shells about as camouflage? 🤣😂🤣😂 What gorgeous wood. I would buy a piece just to sit and look at it! Amazing work Mike 😊
Haha yes I have, amazing creatures!! I do have more of these that I look at every day 😀
Wow!!! Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your thoughts as you design. Definitely a marine piece! Again, thanks 😊
You are so welcome Maria 😁
Lovely, I can see that on my dresser for receiving small bits or at my office reception desk area to display business cards
That's a great idea Ken 😁
That’s beautiful!! I’d call it the offset burl bowl 😃
Haha thanks Donna 😀
what a great looking piece.....super ideas you have !!!
Thanks so much Earl 😀
Beautiful 😻
Thank you! 😊
Love the video - I would name it 'The Moose' The base looks like a nice round moose's snout and the bowl is the spread antlers
Good call, I have had a couple of people refer to it as the moose 😀
The bog oak was a great choice as a base ... It would have been really dramatic. The piece as it turned out is great too, of course. Lots of greatness 😂
Thanks again for the video! I am glad you are enjoying putting in all the work, because we certainly enjoy watching them!
Thank you Lornacy, I love what I do and am just so humbled that others do as well 😊
Very beautiful piece sir thanks for sharing 👍
Many thanks 😃
Thank you for the video!
My pleasure Stu
Excellent ideas! Thanks for sharing
Glad you like them! and thanks for watching 😀
Fabulous! I also thought that the base looked like an octopus, so I think it should be called the 'Octobowl'.
Haha tanks Dorothy, love the name idea 😁
Kracken Kandy Bowl......
Gorgeous one Mike, well done.
Thanks for the excellent content
Thank you kindly Fiona and great name! 😀
It looks like something from fabled Atlantis an "Atlantis bowl" simply beautiful
Thanks Troy, I do like that name! 😀
When you produced the second burr after the bog oak broke my thought was to turn a mortice in the second piece and make a pillar with glued bog oak to raise the bowl higher, but you have achieved something far superior. A real work of art. Well done Mike !
Thanks so much Colin 😀
Sad to see the bog oak break, it looked so nice. Luckily you had a solid backup plan. What a piece!
Thanks so much Jake 😀
Stunning!
Call it "Bowlagmite"
Ah I get it, nice one 😀
A real little Jem. I think the change to using another piece to firm the foot was a great idea. (Better than the Bog Oak). Great contrast in colour of the piece. Well done.
Thanks Peter, sometimes things happen for a reason, we will call it a happy accident 😀
Wow it looks like a fantastic piece coral bowl would be good love it
I think so too, thanks Linda 😊
Love it
Thanks 😀
I mourn the loss of that oak. It would have been beautiful. The end result is stunning, too, but I really liked the contrasting woods. It was a really great idea.
Thanks Will, I would have been nice but it was not to be
This project ended up being a beautiful art piece as much as a wood working project. Absolutely stunning!
Thanks so much! 😀
Looking forward to seeing what you end up doing with the bog oak once repaired. Thank you.
Thanks, I have a good idea for it 😀
I like that piece, Mike. I live in Texas and in Texas we would probably call that a Texan candy dish. Have a blessed day!
Thanks Ray, you too 😃
I love how you find beauty and function in natural objects most of us would consider scrap. This is a great example and statement piece.
Thanks so much Barbara, I love unusual shapes 😀
Very cool ...Good job!
Thanks Patrick 😀
Very nice!
Thanks Jason 😀
Beautiful project, Mike! How about to coin a phrase; my bowl runneth over.
Haha great name Tracy, thanks 😀
Looks cool Mike really like the rustic look
Thanks Wade, me too 😀
That's really awesome! I like comparing it to the Kraken.
Thanks Cindy, it just has that look to me 😀
Wow! I'm actually a little glad that the bog oak didn't work out, but I was sad to see it split. I love the design and uniqueness of it. Well done!!
Really lovely. I always learn a lot from your videos.
I'm so glad! All the best, Mike 😀
Perfekt bolle
Thanks 😀
That’s unique and beautiful. It’s one of those special things that is meant to be loved.
Thanks so much Lucy 😀
