  • What a beautiful piece of wood. I have two rules for producing great turnings 1) Start with a great piece of wood. 2) Don't screw it up! Just that easy...LOL

  • I was a metal working machinist for 35 years. Our cutting tools are always bolted down. I always cringe while watching you wood turners, and wondered if you ever launched your projects, as your free handed turning tools look so dangerous. Thank you for leaving in the flying bowl segment ,(very honest), and very real reality T.V. The bowl looks like an offering plate from my church. Thua trees are used in herbal medicine. They distill the oil from the needles, so it makes since that the wood has a lot of resin in it.

    • I was doing an internship at a metal workshop and they had a balancing machine - i just remembered all of the little holes in their roof, which was due to the little weights which came of during balancing:D Additionally they had the machine setup in such a way, that if something came loose the workpiece would go through a wall and into an open field. One of the older journeyman actually saw one time the aftermath of a workshop after a big workpiece came loose during the balancing, everything in it´s path was destroyed. Including the wall on the other site:D

  • When a poet writes a poem it lives for the reader to soak up the words and unravel the meaning. To seek what it says to them and a guess at understanding what it meant to the author. It is more than the sum of its parts more than letters more than words more than just a story. To me this piece is so complex and beautiful that it probably needs to be touched, appreciated and understood over a significant time. You may have snapped a yellow pencil on it but your poetry shines out from it. Thanks Mike for what you do.

  • That's a stunning bowl! When I was at school I did some turning in woodworking class, the teacher was very good at turning and showed me a technique where you use the chisel at a certain angle while cutting which causes the back of the chisel to make contact with the wood which smoothes and polishes behind the cut, there was no need to sand. Another sanding tip was to use a handful of the sawdust to press against the piece, which does a great job at sanding and polishing.

    • Thanks Michael, the chisel (skew) method works well but not on this shape that is more for spindle turning, the sawdust method is better (burnishing) and I probably should use this method more. Thanks again, Mike

  • This burl is absolutely incredible! The patterns in it are amazing. I also wanted to thank you for leaving in the part of the video where the bowl flew off of the lathe. As an artist myself, I find that people think that I just produce a piece magically out of thin air without any difficulty. I can't tell you how many times I've heard, "I could never do that", and because of that mindset, people never try it for themselves. The thing is, even if someone has been honing their craft for a lifetime, mishaps still happen. We're all human, and none of us are perfect. The only failure in mistakes is if you fail to learn from them. So thank you for keeping that bit in your video. I can't wait to see what you do next!

  • Absolutely delightful to watch this piece develop. I'm impressed with your relaxed, or apparent relaxed style of working & 'riding with the bumps. It is a stunning piece, congratulations. I am a retired, disabled Senior Master of Art in South Australia & love watching woodturning as it relaxes me & helps me 'forget' about my constant pain. I have had most of my joints replaced or reshaped but that is life. Glad I stumbled onto your site. This is just the second video I have watched with many more to come I'm sure. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
