  • A rare opportunity to turn Red Mallee burl. The wood did not disappoint. Absolutely gorgeous grain and color! This is a very hard and dense wood but it finishes up beautifully. And, it came complete with a Hedgehog already in place! Finished in shellac.

    Hey Phil, made with Australian wood he should be an Echidna, not a hedgehog. Love how you kept the spikes on the burl. I’ve seen a lot of others just turn them away.

    Thank You Phil, Thank You Ron at "Creations By Ron" .. I have turned Red Mallee burl once & was shocked at the beauty of the wood. I was thinking Phil (omg hear it comes). When you drilled the top for the woodworm screw. Put a 1/4" thick shim under the "snout" so the cut would be parallel to it and you would not cut any snout away when facing the bottom? (unless I am thinking too much again?...like always!...). Your 3 point base worked beautiful Phil. That Mallee burl wood is so very precious. I always hate cutting away any of it just to get to where I want. LOVED YOUR SHOW TODAY PHIL...TM

    Hello Phil. As an Aussie, I see an Echidna or Spiny Anteater rather than a hedgehog. Mallee is a dry land timber and so grows in hot, low water conditions, so I'm not surprised it is very hard wood.
    I love the piece in all its spikyness, and with the gorgeous grain. Thank you for treating it with such respect.

    • @PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop
      @PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop  3 роки тому

  • @rayswann9080
    @rayswann9080 3 роки тому +2

    Great job Phil and as always an entertaining and well presented video. I doubt that this is a burl in the common sense of the term. I can take you to the western half of my home state and we could walk for three days and see nothing but Mallee scrub and i have never seen a burl on a Mallee tree. Mallee is more like a shrub. It grows in sandy soil country with around 800 to 1200mm of rain per annum (semi desert) and will have anything up to 8 to 15 "trunks" at about 70mm diameter. These trunks however all eminate from a single root ball which is in most cases a solid lump of wood with a spiky surface. This root ball is i think what is put across as a burl probably because that is the easiest way to describe it. They are the best ever firewood. One Mallee root on the fire and it will still cook breakfast in the morning. An interesting character istic of the ecalyptus species is that if the tree is damaged they can shoot new branches from a burl. River Red gum will do this.

    Hi Phil. Great work with the Mallee burl from an Australian woodturner. And you know how to say Mallee, not Marllee like so many international turners do. By the way, it was not red Mallee but brown Mallee. I have turned both and they both give great results. Your description of the burl as a Hedgehog is appropriate, but we in Australia would call it an Echidna, our own spikey anteater.

    Hi Phil! It looks like an echidna!!! I live on the edge of ‘The Mallee’ it’s semi arid country and very windy. In the Mallee trees are constantly being twisted and turned during their growth, are often stunted and knarly looking. They develop hard wood with very twisted grain. Any mallee burl or root you find for turning will be very interesting

As always, you have talked & turned your way beautifully in this piece Phil, I truly believe you 'have done our wood proud'. Your turning skills & astute brain have perfectly judged how much wood to take away & how much to leave. We will gladly forgive you for the 'hedgehog' vision but to we Aussies it has to be an Echidna. Beautiful turning Phil with a perfect finish for what can only, & must be classified as a 'beautiful timber' as you have rightly said. Great job my friend, I would love to be able to supply you with more pieces. Very sensitive piece of turning so thanks for sharing. Don from South Aust.

My new grinder is 1 HP and spins them up like nothing! I expect this one to last me the rest of my life! I'm glad you like this piece. I spent a lot of time thinking of my Aussie friends while I was turning this. I love you guys down there, such a hardy bunch with a good sense of humor and life!

    Dear Phil, nice work with what is very dense, hard wood. You’d be surprised to hear that i can go to my firewood supplier and pick through the pieces on offer and pull out turning pieces. Such a waste of a beautiful grained wood. We used to use Australian Cedar for bridge and post construction when it was used for period furniture. Huon pine was used for boat construction. All these beautiful timbers are now restricted to craft work using recycled/reclaimed timbers.
    Boy it would have been fantastic to have lived during the time when we first started exploiting these timbers. It would have seemed like an endless supply. Endless ends up being about 50 years.
    Back to the main topic. Red Mallee is certainly a beautiful wood. Lovely turning job. Cheers.

    I bought 2 pieces of it in pen blank form and have made one pen so far which sold straight away.
    Loved this video Phil and make sure you don't give the hedgehog any milk as it upsets their digestive system.
    Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

    Phil As I'm from Australia this wood is not easy to get and is expensive to buy. It is not a large tree is at grows in some very harsh conditions. That burl you turned would be from a tree that could be in excise of 200 hundred years old. Keep up the good work. Don

    You keep saying hedgehog, and I keep thinking platypus. Looks like a beak to me. Another beautiful piece in the books. Thanks for sharing.

    That is gorgeous! The first thing I saw was a platypus, then a hedgehog, and finally a common toad. Some kind of wood turning Rorschach test.

      Thanks, I'm glad you like it! I have an excellent sharpening system. Less than a minute to sharpen and that includes travel time to and from.

    Hi Phil, great job on the Aussie wood. Yep we have echidnas not hedgehogs, but I agree it does look like Sonic the hedgehog. Just about seen all your wood turning videos now. Still locked down n looks like well will be until at least late October. Have a great weekend. Regards Annie 👍

      Thank you, Annie! We are not locked down but are back to mask wearing. I'm pretty sick of it as I'm sure you are. Hang in there! 😊

    What a cute hedgehog. Though with it being an Australian Mallee burl maybe it should be an echidna? We don’t have hedgehogs here though they’re very similar looking. 🦔

    Nice Phil and simple. I notice you never talk about sharpening your negative rake scraper. Others mention that the burr lasts only a very short time. What say you??

    • @PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop
      @PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop  3 роки тому

      I do talk about it and I've shown a couple ways to sharpen or bring up the burr, which indeed does only last a short time, Ed. I don't show it in every video, however. 😊

    wow once again you have amazed me with your talent. You always seem to figure out how to bring out the natural designs within a piece. Loved this one.
    I hope to start my own videos one day to promote my business. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Nicely done Phil. I live in south western Australia and am always looking for mallee burls and root balls. Got one in the shed drying out. Recon I might be able to get 2 bowls from it. If you think it is tough on the chisels try splitting one with an axe. It will jarr your hands in the process. Cheers for another very enjoyable video.

    I also have a piece of Red Mallee burl. And it is very similar in size and shape to the one featured here. I bought it five or six years ago but when I got it I couldn't figure out how to do something with it. I am sure this video is the answer to my dilemma. It will have to wait a while longer as several other projects will have to be completed first. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
