Woodturning a Supernatural Edge Burl Bowl - Mallee and Resin Hybrid

[@wakelywanderer12]

I watch lots of turning videos. This is one of the finest pieces I’ve ever seen.

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment Cheers Jim

[@asulondawn]

Meticulous planning proved worthwhile, Super Bowl. Very well done.

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much John, yes I like it when a plan comes together. Cheers Jim

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Absolutely incredible Jim, fully understand why you are so pleased with outcome. Well turned!

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much William. Yes, my personal favourite piece so far. Cheers Jim

Watched plenty of woodturning here on KZbin. If this isn't the best one, I don't know what is. Nice work....!

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your very kind words. Cheers Jim

[@katiejo911]

If I was a goldfish, I'd want this to be my bowl!

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much for watching 👍🏻 Cheers Jim

[@tula7141]

This bowl is the most beautiful I have ever seen. I want it!!

[@JimsonMakes]

Wow, thank you!

[@Oonagh72]

It looks like a desert painting. I mean it looks like I could just walk into it. You turned it in such a way that you captured all the wood’s beauty, but left it open to interpretation. If you ever do something similar again, I would be curious to see if streaks of blue and white would create a sky effect. Brilliant work.

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much. I did consider adding colour, maybe next time. Cheers Jim

[@juliebaker6969]

I've seen people try to use color in resin to try to make it look like sky or water before, but I've never seen it look convincing. Either they are trying to use too much, intending to enhance the look, or even the most minute amount of dye is too much for the effect to come across realistic looking. Either way I have never seen it successfully accomplished.

[@JimsonMakes]

Tricky to achieve but worth a try, would be easier to make a stormy sky. Cheers Jim

[@adamfigura4385]

Just watched this I've watched may videos of resin and wood but this is by far my favourite piece I have seen made

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much Adam, much appreciated. Cheers Jim

[@lenefrederiksen227]

That bowl is a piece of art. Soo beautiful

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much Lene, I appreciate your very kind words. Cheers Jim

[@djalilesfahani6825]

This is the fairest magnificent beautiful museum piece you have done it so far I really love it you did it all thank you please do add more artistic like this

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much. I appreciate your kind words. Cheers Jim

[@stephendudley4377]

WOW, first video I've watched of yours but I'm truly impressed sir! You definitely got a sub, your work is stunning, thank you so much for making it.

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much Stephen, much appreciated and thank you very much for subscribing Cheers Jim

[@alanwilliams9693]

I have been watching videos of folks turning various projects for the last 3 or more years and have not seen anything to compare with this bowl. Superlative design and execution. Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us. Regards from the Central Valley in California, USA.

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much Alan, I appreciate your very kind words. I was very pleased with how this one turned out and the preparation was worth the effort. Thanks for watching. Cheers Jim

[@NewForestDragonflies]

Think that is my fave of all your wood turning projects

[@JimsonMakes]

Thanks Doug, mine too ! Cheers Jim

[@cigarsmoka9741]

You’ve made some pretty awesome stuff but this one somehow tops them all. Absolutely stunning!

Thank you very much, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Cheers Jim

[@ChiefsFan62]

Fantastic! I love the way the burl looks. Nice job!

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much Wendy. It is the most amazing piece of wood I have ever turned. Cheers Jim

[@dawnmason9558]

Great to see Nev again. Lovely bowl

[@JimsonMakes]

Thanks again Dawn

[@MileyonDisney]

4:10 - That's what Mr. Ives' wife said! 7:08 - That's what the young boy actor said about Mr. Ives. That is a beautiful piece of wood. It reminds me of a 1948 Hudson dashboard. And the bowl is museum-worthy. Great job!

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much Miley, delighted that you like it. Cheers Jim

[@geraldshultz4271]

Beautiful work....I have never seen resin used that way. Very innovative. You are truly a master turner. Enjoyed your video.

[@GuilTheBeardedWoodworker]

Great bowl jim........ Love the emu t-shirt to lol keeping it Aussie.

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much. Yes an Aussie shirt for an Aussie burl. Cheers Jim

[@samanthasimental3788]

It is gorgeous. Not a bowl, a piece of art.

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much Samantha, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. I like to use recycled materials where possible, I even keep the little offcuts of wood like this for making smaller things when the creative urge takes me that way. Cheers Jim

[@MikeWaldt]

Wow wow and WOW again Jim. Superb piece and video mate. Cheers Mike

[@JimsonMakes]

Thanks mate, glad you like it, definitely my personal favourite turned project that I have done. It was one of those special pieces of wood that I was saving for something worthy. Cheers Jim

[@rogerleslie4282]

Thank you Jim for your twist on our local wood. It is one of our hardest woods and most beautiful.That blank would have set you back a couple of quid. Cheers mate Roger 🇦🇺.......

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much Roger. Yes certainly the most beautiful wood I have ever turned and one of the hardest, hopefully I did it justice. I can’t remember what I paid for it but it wasn’t cheap and I have been hanging on to it waiting for an extra special project like this one. I have kept all the offcuts too. Cheers Jim

[@dougdixon3953]

Here in the States I'd suggest calling it a Super Bowl but the NFL would probably come after you for trademark infringement or a royalty...lol!

[@dougdixon3953]

Just beautiful though!!

[@JimsonMakes]

Thanks Doug, yes I think you are right, I wasn’t sure what to call it. The EWT negative rake cutters did a great job on the resin again. Cheers Jim

that bowl could be in a museum . wealthy collectors would want that bowl.

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your very kind words. Cheers Jim

[@negotiableaffections]

I've mentioned before on other channels that I've always been in two minds about resin works. However this is just a fantastic piece that is totally reliant on the resin work. A beautiful bowl from a beautiful burl, but then completely transformed into a story of bowl making and woodturning on a lathe. The clear view tells so much of the makers story. Just Fantastic - be very proud Jim that is excellent!

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much Keith, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. I was very pleased with the end result. Cheers Jim

[@High-Alpha]

I've watched atleast 100 woodturning vids and this is my favorite piece. Absolutely stunning!

@@JimsonMakes of course - I just got my first lathe 2 days ago and did my first turning today. Hope to ascend to such a skill as you have achieved someday!

[@JimsonMakes]

Practice, practice and more practice. Start simple and be safe, it will all become clear. Good luck Jim

It's not only your favorite piece ever, I think this is one of my favorite turned pieces by anyone ever as well. As a pipemaker I work with briar burl alot, but this brown mallee is rather similar and simply stunning to look at!

Thank you very much. It is always good to get younger generations interested in making. Cheers Jim

[@sallysassa]

My god that is divine. I would buy that no matter the price & I'd put it on my bedside table so it is the first thing I saw when I wake. Jim you are a true artisan. I am from Melbourne AU, a bit of a drive from the Mallee but I have been there. Mallee roots burn for hours because they are such dense wood from a desert region.

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much Sally-Ann, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. I have visited Melbourne, a beautiful city. Cheers Jim

[@neil1150]

[@vigilante004]

I can't help but to share your videos too. Hopefully, you'll get some more Subs from the States. Now I've got to find myself some of that Burl you used on that beautiful bowl. I bet it would make for some very nice Knife scales also.

[@kelpiecoco7570]

THAT is stunning!!! It looks like a designer fish bowl. If I had that piece I'd have to go buy some exotic little fish to live in it. Would that even be safe for a fish? I've watched tons of turning videos and this is, by far, one of the most beautiful pieces ever!! I also love that you explain the steps and tools while you're turning. Super helpful for those of us who have never turned but would certainly love to some day in the near future.

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much Kelli, unfortunately no good for keeping fish in.

[@catherinemcgavigan2497]

The resin savers are a great idea. Much better for the environment too

[@catherinemcgavigan2497]

Wow! Stunning work Jim!

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you very much Catherine. Yes the resin savers certainly save money and as you say better for the environment, and using lower volumes means that there is less chance of the resin overheating as it cures. Cheers Jim
