Woodturning: Turning a Cherry Burl Bowl - The “Just a Bowl” Bowl

Woodturning: Turning a Cherry Burl Bowl - The “Just a Bowl” Bowl
Since my last project (Ironwood Insanity - The Joker Bowl”) was a pretty complex turn, I vowed my next project would “just a bowl” - in this case, “just an absolutely amazing bowl with stunning grain” 😂
In any case, I’m always nervous about cutting burls, so I searched for some videos on the decision-making process for cutting burls into turning stock. One of the best I found was by Jim Sprague of ‪@SpragueWoodturning‬ and I literally watched it 4 or 5 times. Because…cherry burl! The cherry burl I am working with mostly encapsulated one of 2 branches and I was able to slice the other branch off and then split the burl roughly in half, leaving the pith on the side that the burl didn’t completely encase the branch. I was able to core the larger and most round side of the burl into 3 cherry burl bowls, though the smallest really is a baby bowl that I may use as the lid for a box or something because the grain is just too spectacular to turn into shavings. Because cherry burl!
I used the Woodcut Bowl Saver coring system and could not be more pleased with the results. Here’s a link to the video I did the first time I used the coring system Woodturning: Turning The Big Green Monster into 3 Bowls using Woodcut’s Bowlsaver Bowl Coring System • Woodturning: Turning T...
I finished the piece with Brad’s Tung Wax, which you can purchase here at his Etsy shop:

This channel has what so many woodworking channels are missing. Quality narration.

[@LisaRamlow]

Thank you Bryan, I appreciate your feedback and am glad you are enjoying the channel 😁

[@jussitikkuri6991]

I'm 62.... I started woodturning at 12 years old picking suitable pcs from the firewood ple. Then I'd drive around after east coast hurricanes and fetch those burls that I always wanted but hand no access to.Thank you hurricanes. Cherry Burl was always my favorite since it was my first. You NEVER forget your first. I still have that 50 yr old cherry burl bowl. I gifted quite a few over the years . But not that one . I made a 4 pc cherry burl plate set with goblets. My all time favorite. I sold that one for cheap. This is my first time watching you. As a old wood spinner I am very impressed with your work. ✌Peace

[@LisaRamlow]

Thanks so much! Cherry burl is definitely one of my favorites too 😁

[@jussitikkuri6991]

@@LisaRamlowThe sweet smell of cherry burl spinning is incredible.

[@aishashaw5885]

I’m curious about differences between burled wood and stump wood. Pro’s and cons. Beautiful grain differences. Work-a-ability. Anything I might need to know.

[@CowboyDave1812]

@@aishashaw5885 Burl wood has tighter curls and inclusions of bark and sometimes softer materials and can be found in larger centralized ball-like masses. Stump wood has more flowing grain variations and less centralized forms... and often inclusions of rocks.

[@sheilamartin7836]

Beautiful! Very inspiring...

[@aishashaw5885]

It warms my heart 💜 when I see another woman Carpenter/Woodworker. You made my day!!! Oh and that’s a incredible chunk of wood.

[@LisaRamlow]

Thank you, it’s hard to go wrong with cherry burl! 😁

[@t_c5266]

Holy shit! A piece of turning after 2015 that isn't just turning a block of epoxy with some wood fragments in it!? Truly a rare find

[@LisaRamlow]

I use epoxy but sparingly. Some things require it for stability it turning, and I like the way it looks, but I like the gnarlier pieces better. 👍

[@t_c5266]

@@LisaRamlow natural does look better. 9 out of 10 "wood working" videos I see nowadays are just people turning epoxy

[@leslienordman8718]

Cool! Thanks for telling what you are doing and not just creating pretty, mysterious visuals. 🙂

[@LisaRamlow]

No mystery here - imma show you guys all my boo-boos and then tell you about them! 😂

[@woodenelements]

awesome. I have a similar cherry burl sitting in my shop (for almost 3 years now) waiting for the courage to turn it. Your video inspires me.

[@LisaRamlow]

Cherry burl is one of my favorites for sure 👍

[@rexfaucher9773]

I really enjoyed this video. To use a coring tool ,I have not seen before. It saves so much material that you can use for another purpose. About 50 years ago,my wood shop teacher, Mr. Clock tried a process he read about taking a 12x12 board and marking concentric circles,.He cut the board in half, then cut the half circles on an angle using a band saw. He overlapped glueing,then turned the bowl .Saved alot of material, made a nice bowl. Cheers, RF

[@LisaRamlow]

Thank you! I’ve seen Gary @ThePapa1947 make bowls from a single piece of wood like that 👍

Thank you very much for the excellent commentary and your insights while turning this beautyful piece!

[@crowkozak5674]

I totally agree with leaving the 'Step Cuts' while carving out the outside profile. Hearing that was like a lightbulb moment lol. That is great advice. That has become a method I'm now using thanks to hearing that! Thank you and keep cranking out these tutorials!! Cheers!

Very nicely done! I just found your channel today, and I’m impressed. You do a fine job with the turning as well as the narration. You’re now on my short list of KZbin favorites.

Hi Brad, welcome! It took me a while to sort out the format for my videos but the viewers, both woodworkers and non-woodworkers, overwhelmingly preferred the voice over style so that’s how it’ll stay. 😁

Lovely bowl, Lisa! So enjoy you sharing your thought processes with us as you work through the turning. Thanks!

[@LisaRamlow]

Thanks Greg, I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. It took a while to sort out the format to use and I was doing just background music for a while but after some polling it turned out that even people who will never step in front of a lathe liked to know what I was doing and why, so this is how we do it 😁

Beautiful work! Glad to see someone turning thin bowls. Too many on KZbin are afraid to go thin and end up with these thick, chunky, heavy bowls.

Thanks! I have a tendency to take that a little too far sometimes and end up with a funnel 😂

[@noahcount7132]

Lisa, the cherry burl bowl is a beautiful illustration of the woodturner's art and also of the woodturner's eye. The figure in the finished piece is absolutely stunning. I'm a new subscriber to your channel, having watched about a half dozen of your videos so far, and I feel very fortunate to have "found" your channel. For a few years I've subscribed to Andy Phillip's woodturning channel, and thoroughly enjoy it, but in my estimation, you've one-upped him. Andy's videos are completely voiceless, and you provide very helpful and interesting narration, guiding us viewers through your projects. That is greatly appreciated!

[@LisaRamlow]

Thank you Noah, I really appreciate that. I’m a big Andy Phillip fan myself. When I first started my channel I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it and who my audience would be - woodworkers or turners or people just interested in watching the process. As I got a better handle on that (and better editing software 😂) I did a bunch with music and no voice over, but it became clear that the majority of my viewers want the commentary, whether they are woodworkers or not, so that is how the format will stay. Just giving you a heads up that you may stumble on some of videos in that format. Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to leave me such a nice comment 😊

I haven't turned in several years now after a move across country. But you sure make me itch to try again. Thanks for the inspiration, your narrative and info about the coring system.

[@LisaRamlow]

Hi Joyce! I'm just coming off shoulder surgery so wasn't able to get into the shop for 8 weeks and that was too damn long! I've been a woodworker for 20+ years and always wanted to turn but was afraid of it for some reason. I broke my ankle in January 2019 and was on my butt for 3 months so o started watching KZbin videos and learned as much as I could. Bought a Delta midi lathe and as soon as I could stand I was spinning wood. A friend talked me into starting my own channel and after some time sorting out the format for the videos etc here we are!Totally hooked and upgraded to the Laguna 1836 in 2020 so I should be good for a while 😃 Hope you get back to the lathe soon!
