Woodturning - Making the Most out of this $300 Oak Blank!
I've had this large oak burly blank in the workshop waiting for my Bowlsaver Max 4 to arrive, it is the perfect way to save a smaller part of your blank to be used in a later project, especially when the grain of the wood looks this good! Have you got any ideas for the smaller piece I removed? The figure is excellent!
The natural cracks in the bowl were filled with Black Milliput and sanded to 1000 grit before Danish oil and wood wax were applied.

Disclaimer:
My videos are for entertainment purposes only. Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first.
And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so.
Have you got any ideas for the smaller piece of oak burr I removed? Make sure you comment your ideas😁👍
Pretty cool new attachment: let the machine do most of the work! Beautiful piece of wood and bowl.
Yeehaw . . . .finally a video showing milliput. I use it all the time for voids or decoration . . . .very interesting stuff. Great piece of wood!!! The turqoise with a buck-eye burl . . . . oh baby!!!
The burl is one of my favorite looks in wood!❤
It's really nice to see a beautiful piece of wood not get hollowed-out. Of course, with such a particularly lovely, and expensive, burl blank; I can certainly understand its highlighted use. And, the finished bowl is stunning. :)
Beautiful piece of oak! Great work!
Again beautiful
🎉 MILLIPUT 🎉 for when a hole, crack or fissure needs filling 🤔 Great stuff and a really great bowl Harry!!
I use milliput all the time to fill voids and to add decoration . . . bucky-burl and the turqoise . . . . . beautiful.
Love that you took a core out of it so as not to waste great looking wood that doesn't just go on the floor!!!! I sure wished all turners used these Harry. Very glad to see you get one and using it!!!!! That is amazingly beautiful and an excellent job turning it and have another bowl for later!!! I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
BEAUTIFUL BOWL 🎉
Well done. Cool tool.
That came out very nice! Beautiful wood too. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the other piece.
Make me a winner!😁
Thumbnail made it look like a wooden taco lol
Looks like the channel has been good to you. New tools !! 👍
Is it a good idea to completely seal wood you put away to dry?
😮
What a wonderful fruit bowl, just don't put any fruit in it, just look at the grain. Cheers
Where can I sell pieces like this for 300$?
Well you need to have the talent to make it first. Stick to jet washing 😂
Sorry, but how did that piece of oak cost 300, that don't make sense.
Big burl figured like that, seasoned and preserved. I can definitely see that price tag. With Harry turning it, and for what the wood is, no problem getting a good ROI.
If people are willing to spend that kind of money on wood blanks I better start cutting up my stock to sell before I put any time into it. I guess a fool is born every day.
Do it Leefy and increase your subscribers 😂
I'm a woodturner, and that is butifull.
The centre piece that was saved was hardly worth the effort, let alone buying the bowl saver
Ruined by using milliput. What was a beautiful piece of wood with natural detail, has been filled in by using that junk. Transition from sides to bottom of the bowl also look like not enough material was taken out. Sorry - my 2cents don't add up to much.
No one asked for your opinion at all. Please keep your negativity to yourself
same as i was thinking^^
@@Curtis-Randalljust his opinion..
Stunning sir!
