    Default Coolibah Burl Bowl - Pic

    Hey guys,

    I started this bowl about a year ago, and finially today got around to rechucking it and hollowed it out.
    I hate turning burl! - But i like the results.
    A bit like my sharpening moto, I hate sharpening but i love sharp tools, so i put up with it!

    Enjoy.

    Steve.

    Nice work Steve - never had a chance to turn a burl. Would love to try, but only ever seen one tree with burls on over here - it is in the middle town in the central reserve of a highway! Can't see myself pulling over to harvest a burl or two and getting away with it unfortunately.
    Cheers,
    Andy

    A couple of witches hats and a fluro vest and no one will even blink... Make it look offical and if any one asks, your cutting away the diseased section to keep the tree healthy!

    Arrow It worked for me...!

    Hi Lumber Bunker,

    I like that burl you turned, I don't remember to have ever since that timber blueprint.

    "Make it look offical and if any one asks, your cutting away the diseased section to keep the tree healthy! ", You know, it worked for me some time ago, indeed I was asked to perform some time later, similar "treatment" on one of this persons friends property...!
    I have since then moved away, and I haven't offer that sort of treatment, to anyone locally, YET!


    Cheers

    Beautiful burl, beautiful bowl. You dont seem to have gone the ultra gloss finish Steve, may I ask why?

    I dont mind giving burls a burl (sorry....) sharp scraper and patience. They beat Black Heart Sassafras.......

    I didn't go with the high gloss, ... I just went with some trad wax.
    I was thinking about a gloss, but to do it right i would have had to fill some voids etc, but i just wasn't up for it at yesterday, The wax still has a very nice luster, and is great to touch.
    As for the scraper... I did this with the bowl gouge and a parting tool to cut it off. and loads of sandpaper!

    Thanks for the replys guys, I'm glad I can share.
