I love it. You could actually display it upside down and show the red side and it would still be a piece of art

@MikeHolton 5 месяцев назад

Thanks, that is actually how it is sitting right now on my desk 😀

@davidhill1887 4 месяца назад

You could call it the "Burl Bird Bath" I love watching you turn, it's amazing what you find when your done. Your knowledge of exotic wood is eye opening. Keep up the great work.

@MikeHolton 4 месяца назад

Thanks David, all my knowledge comes from research, I like to be able to tell a story about the wood rather then just turn it. All the best, Mike 😀

Wow! I'm actually a little glad that the bog oak didn't work out, but I was sad to see it split. I love the design and uniqueness of it. Well done!!

@lornacy 5 месяцев назад

The bog oak was a great choice as a base ... It would have been really dramatic. The piece as it turned out is great too, of course. Lots of greatness 😂 Thanks again for the video! I am glad you are enjoying putting in all the work, because we certainly enjoy watching them!

Great piece of work. I agree that the base reminds me of an octopus. With all the burly texture on the 2 parts reminding me of coral, how about naming it “Under the Sea.” Beautiful bowl.

@colinball1960 4 месяца назад

When you produced the second burr after the bog oak broke my thought was to turn a mortice in the second piece and make a pillar with glued bog oak to raise the bowl higher, but you have achieved something far superior. A real work of art. Well done Mike !

Hi Mike; WOW!! Another unique 'learning experience' for us all and from your masterful self-control (at least on camera!) I see a boot in the lower half, and reflecting that, and in homage to the path you took from idea, through the creation, overcoming adversity, to the final wonderful finished piece, my name suggestion is "Best foot forward".

@robeldred8012 5 месяцев назад

Well done Mike - looks like a marriage of convenience to me 👍 I wonder if it's reversible too - if so you would pick up the rough grain more easily from the underside of the bowl and can see the red centre on the other piece if it faces the top. I think I'm going to have to find some Mallee burl myself! Bloody beautiful timber!

@MikeHolton 5 месяцев назад

I should have put a bowl in the bottom so it was reversable but this has given me ideas for future projects 😀. Mallee burl is just the most beautiful wood! 😀
