Woodturning: The Burl of Insanity!

  • Thank you all so much for watching! This piece of Chechen Burl was given to me by one of my viewers, John Miller, a retired professional woodturner who now works by commission doing custom woodturnings. Huge "THANK YOU!" to John for sending over such a beautiful piece!
    This is my 24th filmed project, and in my efforts to do justice to this amazing piece of burl, I promptly made the project ten times more difficult than it could have been by taking the wrong first pass with the bowl gouge. That meant I lost some of the natural edge that I intended to keep, which also meant I was forced to undercut the rim in order to save the natural edge. By the way, don't sand with two fingers against the spin of the lathe. It's not smart, and I ended up nearly spraining my fingers after catching the sand paper on the piece. Anyway, black palm is not wood. It is insanely brittle and aggressively unpleasant stuff to turn. Actually, palm is not even technically wood. It is a non-homogenous monocot, similar to grass and held together by what is called "parenchyma". The eagle-eyed may have noticed that the splinters coming off the black palm were almost like needles and just as hard and sharp. But all that work and headache is an afterthought when finishing.
    Cheers to all! Let me know what you think!

    I cannot believe this magnificent, majestic and marvelous piece of art is coming to me! We are looking for a quiet, mirrored, rotating display stand to do it justice. This is a piece that deserves to be admired from every angle. A spectacular blessing that will be appreciated all the days of my life! The Burl Runneth Over… as does my heart… not only when I look at it, but when I think of my wonderful husband and a wood turner whose hands have been touched by God. It all takes my breath away. Thank you!! I am truly honored. 🙏🏽🙌🏽

    Excellent craftsmanship and artistic ability in putting everything together!
    I would have been impressed with the work you did with the original piece, the way you put everything together reminded me of how life can be rough and hard ve no beauty or purpose seen with a normal eye.
    But in the loving hands of a creator
    working skill to bring out the hidden beauty makes something seemingly worthless priceless.
    maybe I have been in quarantine to
    long but this project really inspired me to look for the potential beauty in things or people that are not very
    appealing to the normal eye

    [11] He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

I had a feeling you’d do something amazing and you did!!.... your ready for gallery work and display. In your spare time try to search and reach out to the various art shops, craft stores, etc as we discussed while back. Important thing is to just start getting your name out there, so little charity work for perhaps food banks, churches organizations etc to raise money for them, donate a turning to bid on etc. Anyway again great forethought, design elements, use of contrasting woods, and overall dimensions. Truly a very artistic piece!!!👍👍👍😉😉😉

    • @JohnMiller-pu2qx
      @JohnMiller-pu2qx 4 роки тому +10

      Hi Susie,.... not sure where you live and you mentioned you have limited access to various wood types. I turn a lot of green and seasoned wood, but of course I also turn kiln dry wood of various species. You mentioned you brought your husband a lathe last Xmas... wow!!!... bet he was surprised!... what a great Xmas gift!... I get most of my wood from the woods here in Missouri and various arborists, tree companies, etc etc. ....and then let them season up a little to get the moisture content down to what I like, but that can be a little tricky and turning wet wood is not an exact science but less dusty but might be better for your husband stick to the very dry woods and kilned dry woods to perfect his craft. That leaves your wood stores, lumber yards, etc. rockler, wood craft stores etc but they can be pricy depending what your looking for. When I’m needing perhaps something special for a client that he has commissioned me to turn, I’ll check out eBay and see who has what, again depending what your looking for, size, etc I’ve come across quite a few good reliable sellers. Hope this helps somewhat. If your husband or you have future thoughts or questions bout anything please feel free to contact me, more then happy to try and help any future woodturners . Best of luck to you and your husband. Happy turning!!!!😉

      Seriously, that thing is up there as one of the most beautiful objects I have ever seen. The technical skill is unreal. Just thinking about working that precisely with those species/grain patterns gives me the heebie jeebies. But in some ways I think the composition is even more impressive. The proportions and shape are so dead on, it looks fluid and yet formal, organic yet totally controlled. And apparently you managed to see that from the beginning. Bravo sir, Bravo.

    Stunning work there, David. I can’t understand why people do a thumbs down, are they jealous? I don’t have a lathe & as a wheelchair user it’s tricky finding one & also will have to wait til the kids leave home til I can reclaim my craftroom but until then I’m happy to see what other folks produce. all the best 👍🏻

    We all like surprises. All the same, I like to have some idea of what is in the works -- and without the slightest preview, and with a host of ads standing in the way, skipping around this video is not an easy option.

    _"... don't sand with two fingers against the spin of the lathe."_ David, my heart was in my mouth the whole time your digits were in the danger zone-I'm so pleased you got away with it. What a lovely and unusual piece it is, and how amazing to think that something as potentially beautiful as a polished burl can originate in what is, essentially, a tree defending itself against a threat to its health.

    Lots of people show their skill. Other people show the beauty of the material. The project in this video adds a third element that is not always seen - aesthetic beauty in design. So in this video you have all three elements - skill, material and design. Keep going outside the box of form, design and function (and making happy mistakes!)... I'll bet your best work is done when your imagination is allowed to roam free! Congrats on a very beautiful piece.

      A Recipe my Mom created b4 I was even born. It is so delicious, -
      Mushroom Stew.
      5lb pork butt or shoulder roast
      6 8oz packs of mushrooms
      8 green peppers
      2 sleeves of celery
      6 12oz cans of stewed tomatoes
      2 large onions
      3 garlic cloves
      1n 1/2 TBSP of Italian Seasoning.
      2 TBSP of Worcestershire sauce
      1st cut up the pork roast into bite size pieces and begin browning in a huge pot with chopped up garlic- cut mushrooms and onions into bite size and add them into the pot, let them cook with the pork about 30 mins-cut green peps into bite size, be sure to get all green pepper seeds out of it, add the green peppers and let them cook down a bit while you cut the 2 sleeves of celery-add celery and stewed tomatoes and let cook on low 3-4 hours. And again, key thing is to not let any green pepper seeds get in it, They will cause a perfume taste if you do get any in it. AND if electric stove, Cook covered on 3 and stir once in a while while cooking. It'll make about 2 Gallons of it so you can Freeze a lot for when you get hungry/Craving for it again, And I Guarantee you will LOVE IT!!!

I watched in awe, trying to visualise what you had in mind but couldn't see it my minds eye until you put it all together at the end and it was absolutely stunning, in the true sense of the word. Talent is too small a word to describe your awesome skills & vision.

  • @donaldadams1644

    What an amazing piece David. I have watched a lot of your videos with absolute pleasure, but this one takes No 1 billing in my mind. I did 'sit up' when you brought out the Palm to turn. I have never heard of it but as you worked with it I did actually notice the 'splinters' but what a job you did turning it. It compliments the piece of Chechen Burl so well which, if you hadn't mentioned it, no one would have noticed your 'little slip up'. One of your best pieces, if it's possible to say that, & a credit mark to you for a brilliant job. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
