Cottonwood Burl Bowl Required Three First Aid Treatments

[@johnwolf5288]

Nicely done sir. My only addition is that salvaging such a dangerous piece of wood moves this project into an "expert" category. Your club member was probably correct to move it into his burn pile. You, on the other hand, clearly demonstrate that with skill it is possible to turn this type of flawed blank safely.

Agree for the expert - not a novice project. He had the skill but not the interest in pursuing this piece. Alan

A diamond in the rough. That is a very pretty piece. Thank you for sharing. See you next week

Great job Alan! Nice to see you again in Portland 😀

[@AsWoodTurns]

Thanks! 😃 Likewise. Alan

[@glencrandall7051]

That was certainly worth the effort. It took a bit of skill on your part to recognize the potential and to achieve success. It sure paid off in this case. Apparently your fellow woodworker felt he didn't have that skill. I hope you were able to educate him. You sure educated me. Thank you for sharing. Oh hell, nag, it works for me.🙂🙂

[@AsWoodTurns]

He did not lack skill - he is an excellent turner. I believe it no longer fit his style. His loss - my gain. Alan
