Woodturning - A Huge Burl !

Welcome to this weeks woodturning video:
Woodturning - Simply Beautiful
In this woodworking video I use a woodturning lathe to turn a Silver Birch Burl into an exquisite live edge bowl. I feel this video falls into the ASMR and entertainment categories.
If you find these video’s a good source of entertainment, I’d appreciate you like, share and subscribe.

I have no project in mind, or practical need for one...but I bought a lathe because of this channel

[@johnmitchell1614]

I watch this channel Reece, will you buy me a lathe too? Make it a Vicmark, , , only kidding, what make/model did you buy? Best regards. 🙃

[@JiggsysShed]

That is a stunning piece. The live edge really adds to its character.

[@DanKoning777]

If I was a Silver Birch I'd be thinking "now that's what I want to be when I grow up" Another great piece Jack; you never disappoint. *God bless.*

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Hahah cheers buddy.

[@merriebadham6701]

That's a beautiful burl bowl! I can see that it takes a lot of practice, skill, knowledge, and imagination, not to mention strong and steady hands. It's a joy to watch.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks M. Glad you enjoyed it. Where are you watching from?

[@merriebadham6701]

I'm in Portage Michigan.

[@MEGAMIGA]

Oh my! The cracks and the asymmetry! 😍 Nature's offering, sublimed by the hands of a master!

[@niknoks6387]

It’s lovely Jack, it’s wonderful that something that starts off with a a stress event in a trees life can look so lovely. Hope you had a good week 😊

[@andycropley5486]

one of a kind! I'm amazed you can source pieces like that.. they must be hard to come by!

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks . I rescue desirable trees from the firewood industry. 👍🏻

[@sophie-gw9hd]

hello dear JACQUES. how beautiful it must be at home. your loved ones must be so proud to have an artist. IT PICKS THE EYES: beauty of course. take care of your hands, it's gold BISE .

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks Sophie. I do try do keep my hands safe, don’t worry. I think the wood is the star of the show here. Wouldn’t you agree?

[@hollyhutson7265]

Absolutely beautiful I am so glad you left the sides like that. The swirls on the bottom would almost make me want to display it upside-down

[@m3rrys0ngstr3ss]

Thank you for not over-smoothing it, I like still seeing the character of it!

[@user-lb5np7hw7h]

Неповторимый шедевр.

[@CJ_Carpenter]

That slow zoom while you carved out the middle was hypnotic.

[@noahdraven]

This piece takes my breath away. You have done it again.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Hi Maria, I saw your reply but have lost it somehow. Sorry to hear about your husband. He sounds like a true patriot. I hope you are both as well as can be. 🙏👍🏻

[@pattigolden1]

I love the simplicity of the bowl...the grain is stunning. There's just something about a burl!

[@sasquatch885]

I see a chunk of firewood. You see a piece of art. Amazing!👍🏻

[@will.scotnativeingreece]

Hi Jack, beaut again, you just enhance what nature has hidden away....Cheers Will.😊🌞

[@PGoodmanCOG]

This would sit on my bar, where I would sit and eat Halloween candy out of it while watching the kids play video games. Lovely piece, Jack. Just lovely.

[@nivadecastrodefreitas2846]

Olá Jack, falo do Brasil, Rio de Janeiro. Sou nova em seu canal e não me canso de assistir de tão encantada que fico com suas peças, cada uma mais linda do que aboutra, parabéns! Mas essa, é simplesmente maravilhosa de linda!!!! Ficou uma peça rústica lindíssima! Não sou muito de comentários mas que o Senhor Jesus o abençoe e capacite cada vez com com o seu rico talento! Felicidades 🙋‍♀️

[@ricahaurymn]

Reminds me of mountain apple used to make bowls by a craftsman on saltspring isle, which is an art retreat, not sure if it is anymore. Thanks for the memory. Very nice bowl.

[@Blade1310]

The moment the 'cutting' ends and that first application of 'finish' hits...............wow, just wow! Superb as always Jack 👌

[@drferry]

Beautiful, beautiful work! All that hand sanding that you didn't show. I might have used a spray finish alone on something this complex. Difficult to buff with all the natural edges.

[@ritahay963]

Beautiful job, makes a great fruit or nut bowl 🥣

[@JackMackWoodturning]

What is your favourite nut?

[@David-jn4fx]

What an awesome pick of wood Jack! That took a lot of turning. The bark impressions and finish are priceless! 🙄 Just impeccable! Thanks Jack!

[@joaobarulho9124]

Um excelente trabalho, tornou exposta toda a beleza da madeira, com refinamento e beleza.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks buddy

[@marycatherinelebouef-op4hf]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks again Mary. Much appreciated 💛👍🏻😊

[@nordyfamily]

Stunning, it still kills me to see the inner bowl burl sent to the dust bin. Life's not fair, right?

[@yakubpatel1403]

[@sistersarann3819]

Oh Jack, it is breath taking. A bowl for a Queen. Thank you for your care and love you showed in the creation :)

[@patricenicole9729]

Jack you are Definitely The GOAT😊 Great work as always. I am Honored to watch your videos. Brings a smile to my face every time ❤❤❤

[@madeleinegombert661]

Love the live Edge Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@MsDawn0113]

Truly stunning. You have brilliantly brought out the beauty in the wood.

[@seed_of_the_woman]

you made it shine! gorgeous.

[@Son0565]

Yes beautiful just wow and omg .that colour x

[@pamelalee1508]

Hi Jack... Ahhh..burls...such a contradiction... The swirls of the grain is amazing..then you bring it to life with turning and top it with the glow...yes..beautiful material and a handsome outcome... Thank you Jack...have an excellent weekend...🌿🌿🌿

[@woodywoodturning]

That's more amazing than the last one you turned.. very nice...Mark

[@randomsammieable]

Ahh, beautiful. The first swipe of oil is always my favourite. Is it because of the way you worked the wood that you sand it by hand compared to other pieces where you let the lathe do the walking?

[@alun7006]

Probably because of all the gaps around the edges - sanding with the lathe running would be hard work, give a poor finish and might damage the piece.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Yes as stated above it can be very dangerous to try to sand this with the lathe running. But if you watch any of my other videos you’ll notice I always sad by hand ( and also with the lathe running) this is because sanding with the grain will always give you better results than Sanding across the grain. 👍🏻

[@TheParkAttendant]

What a beautiful bowl! I love how this one turned out, it gorgeous!

[@1954JDR]

Absolutely beautiful. You should use a sand-o-flex like Phil Anderson does. It does an excellent job on bark and inclusions.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks James I appreciate your kind words. I don’t like those things at all unfortunately.. I believe Sanding should be controlled and precise process not erratic and aggressive. A piece like this should have a crisp defined edge not a sloppy softened edge. Give it a try next time to do a piece like this and compare a fine cut and effective hand sanding to a piece With a power sanded live edge.. I’m sure you’ll change your mind 😉

[@MsSittinTall]

WOW! So Beautiful! I just love it! 😀👧❤

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Nice one D. Are you a fan of burls?

[@rontocknell5400]

Absolutely beautiful!!!!

[@Umberto.Goglia]

Another masterpiece Jack! Thanks for sharing!

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks buddy

[@alexgeorge2993]

Thing of pure beauty!

[@mark-ut8ft]

Simply gorgeous would be better. It would make a wonderful center piece in the dining room. I'd use it for artisian bread or rolls during family dinners and the like. Another beautiful piece of art. Amazing.

[@jimputnam7539]

Wow that piece is absolutely gorgeous sir!! First time I watched somebody do the Yorkshire by hand without the lathe turning!! Very impressive.

[@joegaines3437]

That is amazing. Can’t beat the beauty of nature.

[@beverlylumley4150]

OMG magnificent job, congratulations, Canada

[@silviagracielastaviaky8590]

Verdaderamente, eres un artista!!!!💖💖💖💖

[@nmbr6kid]

Just GORGEOUS ❤

[@stuharrison231]

The finish on this is amazing. Nice one Jack!

[@markbrownfield437]

Absolutely stunning. It's always exciting to see what's inside a burl. I love it

[@planetzebulon21]

Ho-lee-fook! The folks at planetzebulon need to say “well done”.

[@ApocolypseChild]

Gorgeous piece! I especially love that glossy finish!

[@laurazakrzewski]

So awesome Jack!

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks Laura. Where are you watching from?

[@HurricaneRainbowOG]

burl wood and similar must be my favourite kind of wood from an aesthetic viewpoint. it looks into the messiness of life and brings out the beauty from that mess, and makes order from it and brings it to a higher place. i started watching this one after having really bad news (gov't backstabbing, endangering my retention of a roof over my head. i'm in canaduh. if people think canaduh is socialist, they're sorely mistaken). anyway, beside my point. it's so G-D pretty, i love it

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Hi Eric. Sorry to hear about your bad news. Hope you can find at least a little solace in my video’s. Why the name change buddy?

[@MrVillafum]

Beautiful piece!

[@bethcorey6022]

Oh that is beautiful 😊

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks Beth. Glad you enjoyed it! Good weekend planned?

[@robertkieffer5086]

now thats a nice looking grain

[@icristi-naDIY]

Is so perfekt. Thanks for sharing

[@JackMackWoodturning]

thanks, how much of the video did you watch ?

[@larrylong4829]

Beautiful! Well done!

[@frankierzucekjr]

Such a gorgeous piece of wood, actually my favorite kind. Birds Eye Maple. I kinda hate you lost so much of the prettiest parts. It's too bad you didn't have that bowl piece, idk what it's called but it allows you to take a bowl shape out and can turn that piece later. Although this came out awesome, I just would have loved to have some of what is now shavings lol.

[@jimrosson6702]

Very beautiful

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks J. Have you seen wood like this before?

[@gerrypowell2748]

Amazing skills and imagination❤️

[@anamiller5778]

Beautiful bowl. Perfect for holding fall decorations or pumpkins! Enjoy all your videos.

[@suzanneyoung6273]

Beautiful. Love your attention to detail, yes I did see the varnish go on the bottom. Thankyou.

[@cherylporter1056]

That's beautiful! I'm fascinated how you know what to do and when to stop.

[@klausalan]

Amazing burl! Wonderful job creating something beautiful with it.

[@aia1229]

Just stunning. I could look at that wood all day.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks buddy

[@kaybee2300]

Very impressive.

[@sherrieburks4739]

Beautiful!

[@_zhawkeye_9808]

...that is just stunning!!!...may be my favorite piece yet...👍

[@fredsaysboo]

Nice simple shape to show off otherworldly beauty of that burl. Love it. Currently working on pieces of a big cherry burl I cut up and am finding it difficult to actually commit to doing anything with them. The grain is so gorgeous, I don’t want to cut into it and destroy those patterns. For this piece, we’re you thinking “there goes more beautiful grain” as you dig deeper and deeper into the burl, or do you just ignore that impulse and go for it, knowing more burls will come your way?

[@user-mf8cm4kw8y]

Super!!! Bravo!!!👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@moniquekelsey7856]

Stunning ❤🇦🇺

[@moshebron2105]

[@vinceianni4026]

Hello Jack beautifully done always interest what will you do next good job friend well done

[@taissanson6820]

Incrível trabalho 👏👏👏

[@justjulee9135]

Jack, please don't think I'm a complete moron for asking this question, but how do you decide where to start on a piece of wood? Like how do you determine what will be the bottom or top? Is this something you just naturally knew how to do or did you learn through trial and error? I'm not a wood turner. I simply enjoy seeing the works of art you and others come up with. This was absolutely stunning! The finish was so shiny and burl is my favorite thing to see. The grain is always gorgeous. Thanks for reading my long comment. I hope you and your family are staying well and safe!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

What a great burl. Great job turning it as well.

[@shirleychavez2758]

Beautiful💕

[@bonitagoodwin5086]

Congratulations on your new purchase. The piece is stunning!!

[@woodturninghomemade]

Amazing! I like it.

[@7272tom]

First time I have seen your channel. 9/16 video is very nice. I can tell what you are using tool wise and your progress through the project, but I think you should talk during the video, if it is possible.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks Tom. Great to have you along for the ride. I run a very buddy Woodturning business and make these videos in the very tight free time I can afford. They are made mostly as entertainment videos and not as tutorials. Unfortunately adding a voiceover to the videos would take a lot of time and additional editing. I am however always happy to answer any questions you might have about the processes you see me use in the video.

[@jimgill1105]

A stunning piece of wood and great artistic skills!!!

[@SiamWoodShop]

Fabulous piece Jack, really stunning. Take care, John
