Who can guess the wood?? Pop your answer below. 👍🏻

[@kathybramley5609]

It looks like a brain or a walnut kernal but I think it's not that!

[@roamingchemist2514]

From the color and the ease with which it turns, I am going to guess olive. And since you say rare, possibly wood from the Holy Land.

[@michaelnash5542]

I'm gonna guess Tetraclinis articulata, sometimes known as sandarac or thuja, a north African wood famous for its rare and beautiful burl en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetraclinis

[@berthas.ausg.9616]

Koa wood maybe?

[@fredsaysboo]

Wych elm maybe?

[@Mopar46]

That piece of timber redefines the term, "gnarly"! The finished job looks incredible!

[@Alexchachula]

That has to be one of the most unusual turns I have ever seen, the wood is amazingly craggy and, I love that you worked with the voided areas, and left them as part of the finished work. I have said this before, but I have no idea how you see what you are doing brother. Just watching you made my eyes go buggy. Beautiful brother, beautiful.

[@jwall6006]

Wow! So happy there wasn’t any resin. Just the beauty of the wood and the skill of the artist

[@dawnlineberry4539]

The grain in that wood is exquisitely beautiful!! Such an amazing piece! Awesome job sir.

[@user-kw3ys6yz5k]

Это кап ,может корневой

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

I have no idea how that didn't just shatter into a thousand fragments. Incredible work, and a gorgeous end result.

[@randywaller7685]

This one is really cool!! No epoxy. Just the beauty of the wood.

[@marjandobersek3707]

I think is oil from plant not epoxy

[@juanitajohnson586]

I was holding my breath almost the whole time...afraid it would shatter apart. But your expertise kept it together. It’s so lovely!

[@RYwoodview]

Thank you too for not drowning this in resin. Incredible job hollowing out the inside!

[@suzanneyoung6273]

Unusual but beautiful piece. Love how the grains in the wood stands out. 👏👏🇦🇺

[@mayberry1965]

Visually stunning Hollow creation. I imagine a touch of light elements to bring a warm glow from within.

[@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer]

This is amazing Jack. Wonderful work. I’m very glad you let the wood speak for itself.

[@rayleenheritage382]

I agree about no resin being used. Truly beautiful with all natural. Love it

[@MEGAMIGA]

What a sublime object! Modern, yet intemporal. Love it!

[@ronnielloyd4514]

Wow at first I thought why is he wasting his time with this piece. Now I know, there was a beautiful piece inside waiting to get out. Nice job.

[@ernestvasquez320]

Absolutely stunning - I was nervous for you in the hollowing process - thinking just one catch would’ve blown it apart but I gotta say you gracefully did it - beautiful results and very stunning piece of art - super great job Jack

[@unclenolly3207]

I can’t imagine how you take a piece of wood and decide what it will become. And THEN just when I think it looks beautiful, you take it to the next level. Absolutely amazing.

[@karengilchrist9774]

I am completely stunned at how gorgeous this piece is! The wood is incredible and the finished piece is amazing! I'm so glad you didnt use resin, it is perfect just the way it is.

[@michaelmcdermott2178]

Thanks so much for not ruining it with resin. Simply lovely wood and work!

[@user-uz9my4sx2o]

What a stunning piece. I kept expecting you to fill the voids with resin and then hollow it but no. I'm amazed it held together. I was thinking it might be olive wood but I've never seen olive wood that looks fibrous as when you chiseled off the nubbin from the bottom. The only " wood " that fibrous that I've ever seen is hemp and that is basically compressed and stabilized. I wish I had your insight. Beautiful man, just beautiful.... Keep turning, Bill Riley.

[@11kwright]

Absolutely love the finished piece. I love it when the grooves , ridges and grained are retained where possible as all those dark bits also are what makes wood art beautiful. I would buy that piece if was for sale as my kind of piece. Really beautiful.😊❤

[@rl2109]

Amazing! An irregular burl = a spectacular work of art! Keep doing what you love, Jack!

[@myamaryca1015]

Mad skills, J. I was certain that when you started with the gouge pieces would be flying and plan B would ensue. But no. I bow to your gentle persuasion of this dusty lump of burl. You found its soul and set it free.

[@terrywhite9017]

Good morning Jack, that's stunningly beautiful. Hope you have a blessed and wonderful week. Love you and love to all

[@Freddieboymaya]

I'm also impressed by the minimal sanding, good to see finishing with the gouge 😊

[@lyndadennin7471]

Amazing turn! The grain is wonderful and the workmanship is definitely stunning! Thanks for sharing!

[@bonnie6231]

Oh my word! I wondered what you would do with this beautiful piece of truly unique wood. You made a truly unique piece of art! Thank you sir, for respecting a tree with an amazing story to tell, by making…a gorgeous piece of art from a part of it, with an equally amazing story to tell. I absolutely love this❣️😍

[@katiegreene410]

Really extraordinary and such gorgeous patterns in the wood. I’m so glad that you didn’t resort to resin, but I do have to admit to that I really felt it worthy of that beautiful pedestal!

[@ferrodell2194]

What an amazing Masterpiece. Beautiful craftsmanship. Looks as if it was excavated on an archaeological dig. Remarkable piece of art. Bravo❗👏

[@rona8663]

Beautiful Jack, really unique and amazing piece of artwork.

[@shoshanastein8883]

The finished bowl is absolutely beautiful. I didn't think something so gorgeous would be the result. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@MississippiQueen1401]

I don't know what the hell that wood is, but the finished product is exquisite! You are truly talented. Thanks for sharing !!

[@amandatallis9875]

Hi Jack what a magnificent stunning piece of wood it has wonderful grain and nooks and crannies. The natural hollow creation is magnificent and unique It would look nice with an Led tealight in it to show the grain and holes up. Well done Jack you are very talented thank you for a great video. Amanda xx

[@alessandroalberto6431]

Pezzo originalissimo e stravagante, unico nel suo genere !!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MrVillafum]

At first I was like, "why aren't you using resin on the piece ". Now I'm like, "sure glad you didn't use resin on the piece ". Awesome turn! Thanks, V

[@OldMtnGeezer]

Nothing short of magnificent! When you started cutting off the base, I was thinking shape & leave it as a pedestal. But looking at the final result, I have to agree with your decision. She's a beauty!

[@fiberotter]

Astounding piece of wood. The grain is beautiful. You showcased it wonderfully!

[@jodisnow5952]

And once again you showed me that I know nothing! I thought you were finally going to produce something I didn't like, but nope love this one too! ;) You do amazing work and I love watching your creativity

[@RANDOMNATION907]

Wow. I cannot recall ever seeing another piece like it. Fantastically unique.

[@normagene514]

Very nice tho I was surprised you didn’t put it in a bucket of resin. Resin seems to be the “in” thing right now. It’s definitely a beautiful piece with spectacular grain! Well done. 😊

[@jeetjeetly]

i was wondering why you didnt cast it in resin but was amazed once you started hollowing it! fantastic work!

[@fastjazz]

Now that awesome beauty can’t be done in your sleep or with your eyes closed. Masterful turning there! As others have noted, no resin makes for superior pieces

[@rickcp9895]

Love it! Fab work as always Jack!

[@mikeknoke3594]

Just Wow! Love everything about this piece. Well done

[@Indigenous51]

Challenge completed . Always stunning pieces.👌Not sure why you didn’t approximately cut the protruding part off with the bandsaw first .

[@chrisdoss3030]

I agree!! That’s a lot of wasted wood that could’ve been used to make other things just to prove some point

[@JackMackWoodturning]

I did cut the protruding part off.. you just don’t see that bit as it’s edited to be good to watch.

[@Indigenous51]

@@JackMackWoodturning Only commented because it was centred on the lathe uncut .🤔

[@JackMackWoodturning]

It was.. but in the following shot it’s not there 😉…

[@Indigenous51]

@@JackMackWoodturning Ooo, magician too. 👍😆

[@laurazakrzewski]

Wow Jack. I thought it was going to come apart. Glad it didn't, spectacular.

[@mclindsay6605]

That is incredible. Imagine trying to carve that without a lathe. Very creative.

[@aileenhaggarty681]

Absolutely beautiful. I could sit and look at that, every time I would see something different. Bless. 👍🙏🏻

[@ricwatkins1437]

That piece looked very dangerous , but what a stunning piece . Beautiful work Jack Mack .

[@suen2506]

What an amazing transformation from what looked like a gnarly piece of wood just beautiful

[@cedricmilford5254]

That’s really cool! Look at that grain!!! Great job 👍🏻👍🏻

[@amarylisesquilin1433]

A very beautiful piece of work, you allow the wood to speak for itself, a true piece of ART ON YOUR PART.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Wow, thank you! Are you an artist?

[@amycagle5793]

What a stunner! No idea what kind of wood, but it's beautiful.

[@m3rrys0ngstr3ss]

It's like some piece of fae architecture with all those crags and voids!

[@irenemcwatt4443]

A fantastic work of art! It would look good as a rose bowl too - put a small container of water inside, arrange four or five large garden roses in the the container, with the rose heads hanging over the edge.

[@shirleypritchard4133]

Are used to have a lave but never used it. If I could’ve made stuff like this my God it’s beautiful. You are a very clever man of an old piece of wood. You create a marvellous piece of art. Well done

[@maddieadams75]

Masterpiece, stunning work. 🤎💛🧡

[@alangibb3100]

Brilliant job Wayne that was great

[@garybeasley4885]

Wow! That was a daring piece of work. Well done!

[@darrylbuckett5380]

Shh!, genius at work. Cheers

[@bevharrison8157]

Simply stunning.

[@renedavis6553]

Stunning piece of art and beautiful wood grain ❤

[@mdaley3102]

Absolutely beautiful. I can’t believe it didn’t explode on you. I know that was a bear to turn. Nice job, well done and awesome.

[@montymc450]

Stunning piece. You have nerves of steel and remarkable skills.

[@SMcCaskill]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@paddyroodzant4760]

My favourite piece thus far that I've seen of your work.

[@trurex007lee7]

Beautiful piece!

[@brianmckeever5280]

Wow! Stunning!!!

[@marilynhoeth4696]

Exquisite! Very unique! Magnificent piece!!!

[@brendawood7956]

Wow what a cool piece. A true sign of love for the craft. Your work is absolutely gorgeous. Love the finished piece . Do you have any pieces for sale?

[@robervar1097]

Grand-tastic ! Only 3 of us thought it might explode while turning inside .

[@libradragon934]

That's amazing! ❤

[@Ethan-pb3jq]

I don’t necessarily agree with this list because it doesn’t contain snake wood but these are listed as the world’s most costly and rare woods. Agarwood ($100,000 per Kilogram) African Black Wood ($10,000 per Kilogram) Sandalwood ($20,000 per Kilogram) Bubinga ($18.99 per Foot) Pink Ivory Wood ($8 per Foot) Bocote ($32.99 per Board Foot) Holly Wood ($40 per Foot) Purple Heart Wood ($15 per Board Foot)

[@fredyjones7066]

To begin with I was worried that you were going to break your wrist. You've created a beautiful sculpture that showcases the natural beauty of the medium in a wonderful way. I did for a little while think that it was going to end up being a lamp 🤔

[@dereckholben937]

WOW!! AMAZING!! It looks a lot like Black Ash Burl.

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Beautiful work and piece. I would love to know what the wood is though. Reminds me of a lacy oak burl/burr.

[@MASI_forging]

Beautiful design 👍👍 You have done a great work. 😍😍

[@abhuffman100]

Awesome job, I’m glad it held up for you. That should bring a nice price to the right collector.

[@brentwpg1]

this may be the most beautiful bowl i've seen turned on youtube.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

Thanks. I appreciate that 👍🏻

[@davidglaum2538]

Fantastic work.

[@oneshotme]

It looks amazing and so beautiful and you did a masterful job turning it!!! I thought you were going to leave it like the bottom was before you cut it off. I think it would have looked better as a pedestal I enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@Umberto.Goglia]

That's incredible!👏👏👏👏

[@jackiehaus9232]

intriguing piece...LOVE it❤

[@DennisDolan-fl3mw]

There are some big holes in your vase. You are lucky it didn't fly apart in pieces. Looks great.

[@lindapoindexter403]

Absolutely gorgeous

[@timponder7487]

I'm glad it held together beautiful work of art thanks for sharing

[@alansimpson596]

Excellent turning and that piece would fetch a good price in a high-end art shop but personally I'd rather keep it.

[@balkanyankee3657]

Pure art.

[@moniquekelsey7856]

Absolutely gorgeous congratulations ❤from🇦🇺

[@rambladesmanmoe6291]

How in the bleep did that hold together ? Amazing piece Jack Mack. We are not worthy. 😂😂

[@SP4Parks]

Amazing , great stuff.

[@jimwatson2962]

Stunning and very brave .

[@forbol]

For this challenge I'd be donning the plate mail.

[@forbol]

@Text-Jack so, this is a joke right?

[@mayberry1965]

​​@@forbolI received the exact reply in my comment, as well as several other people as well. It's fake for sure.

[@manofthetombs]

lmbo! Truth!

[@ritawilbur6128]

That is insanely beautiful! How you managed to turn that without it breaking - I have no idea

[@rafaelramos1486]

Amazing i was thinking it might break.Great job.

To be honest I'm surprised it didn't break very nice work!!
