Very nice indeed Mike. Beautiful piece of wood and stunning outcome. Many thanks

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Adrian.

[@nigeloram3524]

Very nice Mike. I use a bottle of alcohol with a spray top, to quickly wet the wood and check for bumps then it evaporates away. It also does a good job of clearing the dust from the grain when I wipe it on. I imagine that bowl will be in the gallery fairly soon 😉👍🏻

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Nigel ... great tip too. Thanks also for watching.

[@barrycook4690]

[@ericwinckler5142]

Great piece of wood and love the way you brought out the beauty of the wood, I always learn from you and thank you for your Videos!

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Eric much appreciated.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Really beautiful, Mike! It's hard to go wrong with Oak burl and you didn't. It's great to see you went the extra distance to ensure you have an impeccable surface to apply your finish to. Great tips, great video, great job! 😊 Phil

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Phil very much appreciated my friend.

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Great lump of wood. You did a great job with it as well. Glad you addressed the ring in the bottom. So many leave it. You didn’t and shared how you went back and removed it. Lovely piece Mike. BTW, a friend of mine used to take lumps that were fully buried like this one, turn and sand, then use 3-4 colors of dye. It was amazing how the burl grain popped out. Thanks again for all your efforts.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Doug always looking to get the best surface possible, and a great tip re the colouring. Thanks for watching and your input.

[@colinball1960]

Lovely burr made it truly a work of art Mike. Great video and very instructional for us newbies. Look forward to all your videos as I learned to turn from your beginner guides. Diolch yn fawr.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Colin glad you find some of my videos of interest. Cheers. Mike

[@ronbeckhaus7326]

Beautiful Mike. A lot of dust there, it must have been as dry as the Simpsom desert, mate. Cheers.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Ron, it was very dry in parts and in others not so much.

[@GreenDeetype]

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Jim ... couldn't agree more mate. Thanks for watching.

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

how very nice!

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you much appreciated.

[@daverothwell4579]

Looks beautiful mate! When you started power sanding the inside, Fi said, “He’s sanding with a Dalek!” 😂😂

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Dave ... and a big lol and love to Fi 🙂

[@simong-uk]

The wood is beautiful and you did a great job . . . but when I look at the finished bowl it looks like a dog has bitten a chunk out of it. Did you ever consider filling the voids with a clear resin prior to finish turning it ? that way the outside shape is complete and you would still be able to see the detail of the wood ?

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Simon, I have toyed with the idea of resin, but like to keep things natural most of the time. One day I might however take the plunge! 🙂

[@GavSedae]

Nice work Mike, but, I think the real star of the show is the timber! Beautiful!!

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Gav ... always the wood nate, always the wood 🙂

[@MANJITSINGH-ko2oi]

HI mike very beautiful. love burls. just glued up 2x1inches burls to make a bowl and it looks good so I know why u use burls.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Manjit ... enjoy your Burr turning my friend.

[@jeffgoodsonwoodworking8627]

Another beautiful bowl you never disappoint. I was wondering what was moving on your wall at the beginning like a pendulum?

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Jeff, the "pendulum" is a Boa ... an adjustable rubber wrench for undoing stubborn "stuff" 🙂

[@dennisbeamish9058]

Great piece Mike!! Your videos are always both educational and entertaining. Thanks for sharing. Stay Safe!! Regards Dennis ( P.S. - I hope your are planning on a demo for Christmas ornaments! )

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Dennis much appreciated.

[@rottiwoodturning6184]

very nice!

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Rotti.

[@OregonOldTimer]

I was worried about the gap in the mortise wall, but apparently burl grain is so twisted and tight, that gap wasn't a fatal weakness. Did you have any concerns about that?

[@MikeWaldt]

As you say I have found that with Burr as long as you have around 80% jaw contact there are no issues .... to date anyway! 😉

[@dengudomlige8644]

Perfect!

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Den.

[@cortlandhunt4721]

Absolutely gorgeous figure Mike. 👍🇺🇸

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Cortland.
