Saving A Burl Board From The Fire Pit Wood Turning

I use a trimming from a large burl I turned last year.
I had a few choices on how to turn it and decided to use the Bowl From A Board method.
This worked out great and it has some wonderful burling it.
Finished with Zinsser Seal Coat and Zinsser Shelac
Acks Sanding Paste and Acks Polish Restoring Paste
Here is the video of the main piece of the burl:

Wow, Gary, you upgraded the jig, it's efficient and more convenient, great design，👍👍👍👍👍

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Gao! Yes I ended up with 2 revisions and this is the one I was going to do first but made the other one because I needed it and took less time. Take care, Gary

Bodaciously beautiful burl board bowl. Bravo! 👍

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you. I was very happy with how it turned out.

[@freethebirds3578]

I love board bowls. I love to watch woodturning, but it often seems there's so much waste. It's great that this was wasn't burned!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much. I think this was the best use for this piece that I could have done. I thought about making segments out of it but this really shows off the burl. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@ronnielloyd4514]

It’s amazing to see a flat piece of wood turn into a bowl. It’s like you took the piece of wood and shook it and a bowl fell out.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Ronnie, happy you enjoyed it. Gary

Thank you very much Graham and thanks for watching. Gary

[@williamellis8993]

Beautiful burl made a beautiful bowl, Gary. Great use of that burl slab too. Now fill it up with M&M's (or Skittles), empty it, fill it, etc. Bill

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Bill. That might even be too many M&M's for me LOL Take care, Gary

Beautiful Burl bowl! Great save Gary. 👍🇺🇸

[@ThePapa1947]

Lovely bowl. What amazes me is how a flat piece of wood can become a bowl.

[@paulcoffey-windycitywoodwo1073]

Hi, Gary. You know I love the burls. That is a great way to use some of the leftovers from other projects. I give some of my small, highly figured scraps to a friend that uses them for knife handles - no waste! Another fine bowl from your shop! Thanks for another excellent tutorial on ring-stacking for maximum utilization. Take care, --Paul

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Paul. With all the burls you have I bet you have lots of scraps that can be used. Segments would be another good use for leftovers. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Gary... I really love this method of making a bowl... Very little waste .. you can make a large bowl from a relatively small amount of wood and none of that laborious hollowing out... Great job and a great video as always... awesome Buffalo... Take care...All the best.....Andy

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Andy. Yes it is a good way to use wood. I have been using pictures at the end from trips we have made. I have a picture of a buffalo that walked up to the side of our motorhome and then stood in front of it for a few minutes. Thanks for watching, Gary

Not bad for a remnant 😀. Wow, that is a beautiful piece, that burl is amazing.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Mark. I have to say even though this came off the burl bowl I have sitting on the coffee table this one just seems to have nicer burl. But when you think about it all the burl came from the same 1" section of the piece. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@paulw7770]

Thanks a million, I just picked up a nice burl but I sold my lathe. You gave me the idea of cutting a slab off and I will use the scroll saw to make a bowl with the stacking technique. Thanks for the inspiration! Paul

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Paul. I see no reason why you will not be able to do that. Might take a little sanding to blend it in but that can be done. Thanks for watching, Gary

I took high school geometry many years before KZbin. I think this video would be a perfect answer to the question “when will I ever use geometry in real life?” I know I enjoyed it today and I would have enjoyed it back then, too! I love seeing burls and I’m so glad you were able to use this burl board to make this bowl. It’s really nice!

[@tuffymartinez]

Thank You Gary...It is always nice to see a beautiful piece of wood with NO cracks. From my perspective I am always loosing so very much because of rot or cracks. I always start with an idea than need to pare it down and work around the left over good wood. Your Burl looks wonderful (Burls usually do when aged correctly?). ... I love watching you make your ring bowls! I was thinking if using a couple strips of masking or duct tape on the back would be helpful in protecting the cut piece from bouncing around? ... Gary I LOVE that Burl bowl you created from a simple flat piece !!!.. Until next time...TM

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much TM! I sure is a nice piece of burl for sure. I have thought about having a backing piece behind it to keep them from flying off. Masking tape might do the job as well. I was concerned with the first ring cracking when it came loose. That is why I stopped in time to just pull it loose. Strange you can actually hear right before it is ready to come loose. And that is with my old and damaged ears LOL. Take care my friend, Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Your build and design show off that burl figure better than any other design could have, Gary. It's absolutely fabulous! And what a finish! Another excellent example of your talent and workmanship. Very impressive, my friend! Phil

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Phil! This piece of burl made this happen for sure. Just wait till you see what I am working on today. It does not have a lot of chance of being beautiful but should be functional, I may not even show the video except to the person I am doing it for. If you ever need to see the true meaning of CHEAP you will have to see this. That is if it does not blow up LOL. But I just have to do it. Thanks again buddy! Gary

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

beautiful finish! kind of blah until that first coat! great job Gary!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Chris. For sure it sometimes takes that first coat to reveal what you have. I have a feeling the piece I have in the lathe right now will do the same. At least I hope so. Take care, Gary

Thank you very much Lee. As long as you are having fun with wood turning it is a good thing. Take care, Gary

[@damianoferraro1802]

Again, not surprised, great job Gary. I had seen your parting tool guide before and had thought of making one and forgot. Now that I see it again, I'll take note to make one. Excellent idea.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Damiano! I have noticed that after I first made the jig there are a lot of turners cutting the rings on the lathe instead of the bandsaw. I find it so much easier to do. If you have not seen them I have 2 videos showing how I make the ring cutting jig. I do like the second one better. Take care, Gary

[@damianoferraro1802]

@@ThePapa1947 I have seen them. I like the second one as well. Thanks. This is what I like about woodturners, we share good ideas.

[@emgiwoodworks]

What a lovely piece of wood Gary! Probably I would have made it into a serving platter but this is also nice of course.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Leo. A serving platter was one option I thought of. I have another unknown piece of wood about this size that just may become a serving platter. Been wondering what kind of wood it is for years. I found it at a garage sale years ago and have done nothing with it yet. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@joshblumenthal4873]

Gary, this is one beautiful bowl. What a great use for a gorgeous piece of burl. When I use my press, I found that by putting a wheel bearing (any autopart store) on top of the work, it is unmoved by the twisting action of the press as I tighten it. How I wish I had a piece of scrap like that!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Josh! The end of my press not only adjust to the fit but it also is free spinning so I do not need a bearing on it. So I have not twisting issues to contend with. But I could see how a bearing could be helpful if needed., I never toss anything away so these scraps will get used at some point. Thanks for watching, Gary

Good evening, Gary. I missed this video somewhere along the line and found it tonight. I have several beautiful boards laying around for something special and now I know what they will be used for. The burl looks gorgeous in this bowl. Very nice.

Thank you Ray. I have 2 Walnut boards that are very old. From something I made in high school shop class so for sure they are very old. Still trying to figure out how I want to use them. Maybe segments or maybe a BFB. But I want something even more special. So I will wait.... Thanks for watching, Gary

[@rayworstine4399]

@@ThePapa1947 I think some of the boards I have will be engraved with a CNC router/laser with the history of the wood.

That is a good idea Ray. I have to find some pictures of what mind did. It was a TV stand , aquarium stand and a what ever stand for many years. It was a metal wood project in 1963.
