I forward your videos to friends who are learning the dark arts of the lathe all the time. Many many thanks. And yes, I subscribe!

I’m also of the belief that once you start turning a piece that you think will end up as a bowl of X” diameter, the wood usually speaks to you and decides for you! Great job! I love your videos and I learn something from every one even though I’ve been turning for over 20+ years! Thanks for sharing and maybe I’ll tackle that burl I’ve been sitting on today! :)

I have four different burl bowl blanks I’ve been drying slowly and wondered was the moisture content when you began in this video. Frankly I’ve been procrastinating until I can study the techniques of burl turning and your video provided invaluable advice. I’ve done two other cherry burl turnings with some success and in each case attached small pieces of maple to the bottom to allow me to form tenons otherwise no chance.

I was turning a oak burl today and I ran into 2 nails deep in the piece. One when I was slicing on my band saw and again when turning. I didn't detect with a magnet but should have tried a metal detector. Good point for others. There were voids so I had to adjust my turning. Glad you mentioned the issue of soft wood or voids when cutting. It can be sooooo dangerous.

Thank you for writing and sharing, Bobby. Well, my advice is the opposite. Get cheap wood top first turn and one or two good bowl gouges.

My wife purchased me a better set , with long ash handles. I started to use them but l had a cheaper set Cummins brand . I grabbed the wrong 1 in a hurry an snapped 1/2 inch off the tip. I put a new edge on it an it cut well lol. But l hung it a few times early, cracked a knuckle a time or 2. Stopped it a few times about normal lol. My thought was Harbor freight has some on clearance for 30. Just in case you do what l did. Would have been upset if l had broken my present. Im most annoyed at the chuck l purchased. The back plate is in 4 pieces. I noticed others that way since. I put a pull tie to hold it together. Has to be perfectly level. The more balanced it became the better it held in the chuck. Just a learning curve, an l did learn, which is great. Thanks for all your help.

Wormholes? Carpenter bees. By the way, do you ever use a curved toolrest? One more thing - I wonder if thinned hot hide glue would run down into cracks & voids. Hot hide glue is very strong and does not interfere with finishes unlike PVA and epoxy. It's also more resistant to water than many people think, because both heat and water are needed to release it. The application temperature is about 145F.

The part of the human body that makes us dizzy doesn't exist in bugs, that's the simplest answer as to how they're able to cope with spinning around and not getting dizzy. In addition, insects and other similar things don't have the same organs that we do. Basically, bugs are built to withstand a lot of abuse, especially wood boring ones. They have to be able to survive changing weather, sudden impacts if a three falls or gets invaded by a predator, and all manner of other things. Beetles in particular tend to be pretty hearty, as are their larva.
