How to Turn a Multi Axis Cherry Burl Vase

I demonstrate turning a multi axis cherry burl vase on a wood lathe which requires turning in three separate axes before I hollow it.

It feel like the video stopped before it should have as I think that everyone who watched the turning process would really like to see the completed project

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks for that insightful comment. I went back and watched and agree I should have shown the piece after adding the Minwax AO finish for better closure.

Nice job at overcoming the issues this wood presented, impressed at each stage you were able to continue with it. Have a great day.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

+John Fisher Thanks for commenting.

Great idea Mike, I have a couple of "don't know what to do with" Oak burl cut offs, now I know. Thanks for the inspirational video. Take care Mike

[@donlyons8964]

Nice recovery, it's nice to know that not just us mire mortals have to make design changes .

[@acolyteturner]

An interesting piece Mike that I can see myself producing. I truly believe that learning to mount/ remount pieces during times of trouble is the greatest indicator of our improvement in turning... Tom

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

+Tom Stratton Never thought of that, but you may be right.

[@seniorchiefharris]

Yet another great video Mike! I especially enjoyed your choice of material and how you selected it, but also, as Tom mentioned, your choice of mounting/remounting the piece to succesfully complete the project. I often have difficulty with this and this video gave me several ideas on how to to mount different projects to complete an project! THANKS so much for all you do and I wish you safe turning always!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks so much for your comments, Kenn. You might want to check out the demo video I did for Gwinnett WW on how to hold wood on the lathe kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4a7mp9jasl4m9E

Just found this video and liked your innovative approach. Plenty to whet my appetite.

[@johnhoogenhout6686]

Great seeing how you recreated the project! Thanks for the instruction.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

+John Hoogenhout Glad you found it useful.

Great video Mike. Nice recovery from some of the unanticipated events. I'm on my way to my wood pile to see if I have anything I can use for this project. Keep them videos coming! They are inspiring!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks, good to hear!

[@RickTurnsWoodturning]

That's a terrific weedpot, Mike!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

+RickTurns Thanks, Rick. I sure had that 2" thick piece of burl long enough before I got inspired.

[@plamb5243]

onderful recovery! A redesign opportunity. Thanks for the effort.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks for all of your encouragement over the years, Peter. I really appreciate it.

[@chucksmith9633]

Inspired me to wear my face shield more often when working with cracked wood!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

You don't always know if it is cracked. Be safe.

[@stringmanipulator]

Very nicely done and a nice recovery I like the idea of the way to use those I don't know what to do with pieces

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

+Jerry Puckett Thanks for the comment. My sister creates gourd items and got me into an art show sale and introduced me to some marketing basics. Like putting change in a change bowl.

[@nickzammeti]

great video sir, all the best

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

I appreciate it. Your channel is on fire! Great work.

[@joescarborough1]

I love the teaser in the intro. Excitement guaranteed! If you decide to punt, turn it into a yo-yo. I don't know about you but I had, some, fun! :-) --Joe

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

+Joseph Scarborough Thanks for that feedback!

[@1982900F]

Good one Mike! I thinks most guys would've just started a whole new video.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

+David Moncada You just have to play the hand that gets dealt to you.

[@nccherokee1]

Good work, gave me some ideas. I have some unsawed cherry burls but need some advice on how to saw them for best results on my Wood-Mizer. Any word or any resources? Keep up the good work.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

+Fred Moretz I don't get much burl so not much advice here.

[@jackmaravola2496]

Hey Mike to be expected, although it's Friday the 13th you did good.

[@wdukes1327]

good tip using the old credit card as a flush cut guard. thanks!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

+Will Dukes Glad it was useful. It works best with a hole and not a notch.

[@spwoodart]

Nice!

[@marykedykhuizen6902]

Awesome, a little scarey when it flew off, but good you could salvage it
