You might hate the grubs eating your wood, I think they did a good job helping make a unique peice of art.

[@Joe1935429]

Yeah, all the reengineering they did and look what they get for it!

[@elliothughes716]

@BEAR TRAX RC 😝 😂

[@Peter_Riis_DK]

How is it... One mans garbage is another mans art.

[@hamishanderson6738]

I want a soup bowl like that!

[@christofyre]

Well, thanks for ruining the surprise!

[@mikehenry7056]

The grubs would have liked to go for another spin, but they had a pressing engagement.

[@halphasgreed9025]

Shame on you… Lol.

[@hume6900]

Groan!

[@Brandon-sk5lq]

Dang...my chickens would have gone nuts over such a tasty treat! I just gave them a grub about 30 min ago, and they chased each other around for it! Lol

[@deanpd3402]

I love feeding spiders to chickens and grasshoppers!

[@SuzzyB52]

Absolutely gorgeous, the grubs did their bit brilliantly.

[@jdriley24]

Those weren't just "bugs" they were a feature! 😁

[@Saintphoenix86]

That's what video game devs try and say to bullshit people lol

[@andrewgehrett4009]

Goddammit I hate what a good joke that is

[@stephanielovatt2787]

This is a beautiful, and well-ventilated bowl, which should do really well for storing fruit in.

[@alphagt62]

Not much good for soup though 😃

[@kenyonbissett3512]

I was think a see through resin to preserve its beauty....

[@figmo397]

Wow! The "grub work" gives that bowl character!

[@BrotherRobbie]

It's like getting a Kinder Surprise egg and finding a cardboard puzzle in it. Turned out beautiful in the end, man. Awesome job as always

[@sharonl.holland1876]

Toss the grubs outside for the birds. They love ‘em. Circle of life.

[@chaoticconjuring]

The bowl is very beautiful. While it would have been really interesting to see it done with resin, I’m glad you left it’s unique design alone. Really amazing work 💜

[@MrAlbedo39]

Those grubs must have had a heck of a ride on your lathe before you removed them. :)

[@FallenAngelofRain]

Grub rollercoaster.

[@kejaymy2001]

I was thinking the exact same thing…lol

[@voodoo10926]

Haha can you imagine the g-forces on those worms.

[@birdyburdy839]

WEEEEEE

[@wyverndragonborn4063]

Yknow that makes me wonder.. can grubs be killed by centrifugal force, due to their soft bodies and small size-

[@anniefly1325]

I adore the “imperfections”. Clever little grubs and clever not so little Olivier! 👏🏼🤍👏🏼🤍

[@jensingerlady]

Art grubs, pretty cool, and satisfying to watch. Gorgeous end result.

[@thhseeking]

Having watched a few chateau restorations, those little chiottes have eaten their way through so much heritage. Glad to see them get their comeuppance :)

[@user-fp7to5lt7d]

The grubs are always a surprise you do t expect to see, however it did give the piece a lot more character to it. I thought maybe you were gonna change your mind on a bowl and make a lamp with a light of some sort coming through the grub trails. I myself haven’t seen a Birch burl. The most common burls around here are Cherry burls and I have also picked up a few Willow burls. I would love to add a piece of Birch to my wood turning portfolio. Beautiful piece all around. Nice job

[@denisecorzette1676]

Beautiful natural wood art. Turning a possible disaster into a truly stunning piece of artwork. 💚💗

[@montanateri6889]

You should have said thank you to the fat grubs. Thank them for their trails through the burl, the creative artistry of their appetites. Then squash them. :) Beautiful work on this, just superb!!

[@johngramer]

What an amazing ability to expose the incredible beauty that nature has put into a piece of wood that most others would simply burn. Thankyou so much fur sharing that beauty and your incredible talent with us.❤

[@libertyvilleguy2903]

Agree with others, the worms gave this a ton of character.

[@larryshaver3568]

are you in libertyville ,ill? i lived there a few times

[@TinMan0555]

Without the worm holes it would have been just another wooden bowl. Well done sir!

[@suzetteedwards7956]

Olivier, that is stunning! Although it was a LOT of work cleaning all those bug holes, the character in that piece is gorgeous!! 👏👏

[@tschux1]

And just like that, Olivier's aspirations for global soup bowl domination goes down in flames!

[@lynnquinn7244]

Poor little grubs.... they didn't know their lunch was destined to be a work of art! I know the feeling, though... a few decades ago, I had a small spalted maple burl that I thought was going to be nice, but too much of it was 'pre-digested' to do anything with it. Not enough left to hold together. Yours turned out beautifully!

[@kathleensauerbrei5199]

How incredibly beautiful and natural that bowl is. The worm holes make it so natural and so beautiful and so random I think it’s fabulous.

[@eegarim]

Another masterpiece!❤

[@staceyritchie7100]

Very pretty! I'd thank the grubs for the character they added to the piece but...um... they are no longer with us. Haha

[@shookings]

The heavily infested side looks delicate, almost like a filigree. That's actually quite beautiful

[@sydoklanarchie104]

Olivier, je t'aime passionnément.

[@ingridbaasbecking2999]

As usual, a beautiful piece. The 'wormholes' add great character and you have a superb feel for shape. Thank you Olivier!

[@DS-ky9dl]

Love it. The tunnels and holes make it very interesting. You could never plan that.

[@lydiadillard4417]

That bowl is beautiful!!

[@opalumbre]

It may not be great for turning but i absolutely LOVE worm wood. They make such intricate patterns through the wood and the tunnels tend to have a lighter color than the rest of the wood

[@SilverBack.]

Wonderful piece , the worms added character

[@luminyam6145]

"Get out of there you little shit" Hahaha that was great!! Wonderful video, thank you.

[@jarmstrong2843]

Most of the wood I turn has those worms or what they leave behind. Over the years I have learned to embrace the worm tunnels since they only add character to the wood turning. Using resin to fill the holes and tunnels only gets expensive since most of the resin is turned away and ends up on the floor.

[@matthewday7565]

That could possibly have been resin filled a bit like the table making guy does... get it to nearly final, and then tape the holes and pour the resin, then finish

[@deeknits]

Ohhhhh, that’s gorgeous!!!

[@dfuss2756]

love to watch talented wood workers turn out such lovely art.

[@revelgirl1742]

Beautiful….and very gratifying to watch.

[@BLenz-114]

Thank you for NOT filling it with resin! 👍👍

[@shuffleaccount1985]

WOW that is Beautiful work !!

[@alessandroalberto6431]

Questa grande scodella è l'ideale per minestre, zuppe ed ogni tipo di liquido !!! Grazie alle larve dei coleotteri !!! Scherzi a parte, complimenti per il lavoro e per il risultato !!!

[@stephencappella6530]

Bowl looks great! nice job 👍 this piece was a good candidate for resin.

[@WhoGnu08]

I laughed when I saw you straddling and sitting on the lathe bed. Well done!

[@loucinci3922]

Too bad you don't have a pet bird - yum. Turned out real nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@GREQ]

Nobody: Me: laughing my ass off imagining those worms getting super dizzy from spinning around

[@Operngeist1]

🤣

[@desertsmeagol7073]

Lmaoo

[@mikuhatsune184]

When I first saw grubs like that in my wood, I wasn’t nearly so calm lol. I screamed, did a flappy dance, took a pointy chip of wood and then flung the grub into the snow. Stomping them is probably a lot easier than making them sail towards death through the winter air 😂

[@graemebrumfitt6668]

I was holding my breath through most of this vid! TFS, GB :)

[@AlexandraVioletta]

Ask the worms how they feel about their joyride 😉😁😂

[@trixier6505]

Stunning!

[@birdyburdy839]

Does the spinning kill them or were they just chilling in there like "Hmm, this is a rather odd earthquake."?

[@joanfrellburg4901]

They were just going about their business, looking for a wood lathe so they could take up a new hobby turning bowls.

[@sd906238]

We put bugs inside a Testes rocket and launched them. When they landed they were all mushed up and dead.

[@christinenewell2679]

That bowl is gorgeous, I can just see it on my table with a few balls of wool contained therein…… the leader threads of wool have their own holes…. HOW CLEVER IS THAT? GENIUS:).

[@mainelife6473]

That is a great piece! And I am happy you didn't fill in the holes with resin. Not that I hate resin, because you can get some great pieces that way...but you left it natural, letting the worm holes 'speak'.

[@kingy002]

Too many people drown their turning projects with epoxy. Great for filling small holes, but some turners end up making projects that look like they are 78.06% epoxy and the rest wood.

[@DaleDix]

@@kingy002 They literally can't see the wood for the trees.

[@gcl2783]

Should have formalin fixed and preserved the grubs in resin.

[@mermalior1]

Supercool! Hello from Hungary

[@DogWalkerBill]

Great job manufacturing sawdust, wood chips and a broken bowl.

[@anniefly1325]

I adore the imperfections in the wood! Clever little Olivier and clever little grubs! 👍🏼👏🏼

[@tishhyde6778]

That is gorgeous

[@libertyvilleguy2903]

I’ve seen bowls like this where the holes and indentations were filled with a colored epoxy, which looked cool.

[@texasred2702]

I was thinking the same thing. There's a guy out here who makes boxes and such from mesquite and fills in the veins and gaps with resin that's been mixed with powdered turquoise (or other mineral that looks like it) and silver or copper leaf. Looks really cool.

[@suzettekath9860]

@@texasred2702 Same here. If I had gotten my hands on that bowl. That is what I would have done. But with clear resin and powdered quartz.

[@libertyvilleguy2903]

Yes, the guy I saw at an art fair in a Scottsdale had used a turquoise-colored resin which looked really nice in contrast to the lacquered wood.

[@NoJusticeNoPeace]

Would be pretty interesting to use resin with strontium aluminate powder in the holes. It's next-gen phosphorescent pigment which will glow for an hour or more after being charged up.

[@RivkahSong]

It always reminds me of kintsugi (Japanese tradition of repairing broken things with gold, ending up with the act of being broken resulting in a more beautiful whole) when I see them fill the bore holes like that. I was expecting him to do that here, too, but was pleasantly surprised by the final product when he didn't. I wasn't expecting it to be equally, though differently, beautiful.

[@candacehoffacker9644]

Nature has its own surprised beauty. You took the unexpected and enhanced what God gave you to work with. It is raw nature and stunningly beautiful at the same time. The work of a craftsman. Thank you for sharing

That "Nasty" surprise in many cases is worth more money because of its uniqueness. Kind of like burled wood.

Besides the bugs, that looked like a difficult project.

[@carolmcgarrity1157]

This is a beautiful piece of art. You and the grubs did a great job.

[@epowell4211]

Me, seeing him discover grubs: no problem. Me, watching him smoosh the grubs, fine. Me, when he returns to spinning and I imagine a previously undiscovered grub suddenly flying out and hitting him: totally sicks up a little :P

[@pamelot7040]

I’m imagining there’s grub bits all over the place.

[@nettewilson853]

No shotgun needed for this bowl's distressed effect. What Mother Nature did is quite beautiful!

[@janicesullivan8942]

[@therealhellkitty5388]

I adore the shape of this piece and the wormholes take it to another dimension. I wonder what the grubs thought when they began rotating a 2000 rpm.
