Welcome, fellow woodturning enthusiasts, to another exciting adventure in the workshop! Today, we're diving deep into the heart of the forest to tackle a true natural wonder: the chestnut burl. But this isn't just any ordinary burl - it's a marvel of nature, resembling the intricate shell of a crustacean, with its twists, turns, and hidden treasures waiting to be uncovered.
Join me as we embark on a journey to crack open the chestnut burl and reveal its secrets. From its gnarled exterior to the mesmerizing patterns hidden within, we'll witness the transformation as wood meets art in the most unexpected of forms. ASMR
So grab your tools and hold on tight, because we're about to embark on a wild ride of creativity and craftsmanship. Let's dive in!

Absolutely gorgeous, I'm glad you found the wax useful Mike,it reflects the light very well. It's splash and finger print resistant and as you mentioned it can be useful for tools and your band saw bed.👍🏻

@MikeHolton 21 день назад

Thanks Dean, it worked so well 😀

@GoodWoodsuk.co.uk_ebay 21 день назад

It's more durable than microcrystalline wax alone,with a higher melting point. It's took so long to get it right but I think I've nailed it now.

@wessnyder6345 20 дней назад

Hip, Hip, Huray! Your new bandsaw works perfectly. You should be happy with how the bowl turned out. It is gorgeous. Our chestnut forests were mostly devastated by disease. They were old and majestic. A terrible loss. However, with much work and research, some areas are starting to see a few chestnut trees return. Hopefully future generations once again will awe at their beauty and enjoy harvesting the nuts.

@MikeHolton 20 дней назад

I have heard about the blight but so glad it is starting to improve, it really is a beautiful tree 😀

Super bowl, Mike. I agree it is OK to lose the bark, especially on a piece as good as this burl - absolutely love the finished bowl - you just keep getting better!

@MikeHolton 11 дней назад

Thanks David! So nice of you to say 😀

@Angela-en6oh 17 дней назад

Hello Mike, I really like the satin finish on this bowl - very classy! As always, having your thought process articulated as you work each piece is, for me (a non-turner) helpful in giving me a basic understanding of the work involved and how this relates to the anticipated final result. And this was done so well in regard to how you wanted to mount the wood on the lathe and demonstrating how this decision affected the final outcome. Thank you for that, for me, it was most enlightening - and enjoyable. Have a great week, and I am looking forward to the next bit of magic.

@MikeHolton 16 дней назад

Thanks as always Angela, Hope you have a wonderful weekend 😁

@LoisHubbard 20 дней назад

Hi Mike, alot of respect to you for keeping the wood as natural as possible and letting it speak for itself. Resin certainly has its place and no doubt we'll be seeing some wonderful creations from you with the bits you removed, but this bowl is a triumph

@kristinalubas5181 21 день назад

Good morning from Tennessee, USA! I’m always so excited when I see a new video from you. I’m not a woodworker but I find your work fascinating and have been working backwards into the older videos throughout the week. On the subject of chestnut and its availability: I think it very much depends on what species of chestnut you are working with. For example, you will probably never see younger American chestnut for wood turning because they are highly endangered and the subject of serious conservation efforts here in North America. Most of the reclaimed wood available is primarily used for furniture and can be a hundred or more years old.

@MikeHolton 21 день назад

Thanks Kirstin, never seen American Chestnut, we have two main species over here, Sweet and Horse, both are fairly common but as they are not really used for much the wood from fallen trees usually goes off to be turned into fire wood
