  • Years ago, when I was a young man, an older gentleman told me something I will never forget. He said to always flip the bowl over and look at the foot. If the turner spends time on the bottom for a pleasing look, you know he's good. The Marlee Burl Bowl is beautiful.

  • I am a proud Australian who lives in the Mallee country that extends across the north west of Victoria into the south west of New South Wales. it is great to see our beautiful Mallee burl being available to, and appreciated by, artisans in other countries. This wood is created by nature from trees that survive the harsh extremes in weather conditions in this semi arid climate. Temperatures regularly reach 40C in summer and -2C in winter with strong winds and little rain year round. The Knarled twisted trees create amazing dense grain patterns and form intricate burls through constant stresses on their limbs. The roots of these trees are also valued as firewood because they are long burning and produce a lot of heat.

    @Jaydaydesign@Jaydaydesign5 ай бұрын

    • Hi there many thanks for taking the time to send a message, harsh weather can produce some of the most beautiful wood. I have heard about it's value as a firewood! I'm turning a wood at the moment, that sinks in water, does not burn and has that much oil in the wood you can sand it with normal sandpaper. All he best, Mike

Now that's out of the way, this is a fantastic piece of woodturning, you have done an amazing job of making the bowl look as though it is fitting inside of 'a frame'. As you so accurately say Mike, the grain on this piece does look amazing over every square centimeter. Lovely finish with the Danish Oil & it's the first4 time I have ever heard of potential danger if not handled correctly. Brilliant work my friend & brilliant commentary as you go, so natural & relaxed as always. Cheers, Don from South AUSTRALIA.

  • That is a astoundingly beautiful bowl, and the Mallee burl is amasing! I'd like to see a single-horn epergne made from Mallee burl. It would likely be quite the challenge, but it would be a centerpiece beyond compare. Excellent work!

    • That would be cool, I think it would need to be hand carved but it would be something special that's for sure!!

    • @@MikeHoltonIf the bowl were turned, leaving the centre, where the tailstock meets it, high, in a cone shape, it could be drilled to accept a horn. The horn could be turned as an elongated funnel shape, then hollowed. It would definitely have to be done in two pieces, but epergnes were made in multiple pieces, in glass/pottery/metals, &c. One done in the Mallee burl, especially with the natural edge like the bowl you made, would be a phenomenally beautiful take on a Victorian piece.

    • @@MikeHolton Yeah, it would take a long/deep piece of wood to make the horn. If you could pull it off, though, it would be a mesmerising piece, for sure.
