burl

Redwood burl, 2.5x22.5x15.75 This is dedicated to Jerry Kermode, the talented woodturner who gave me this piece of burl.

Globe Christmas Ornament made from Madrone Burl and African Blackwood. Finished with Lacquer and wax.

A burl-capped lidded vessel with a tall finial in Tasmanian Myrtle and TransTint-dyed holly. The goal of this piece was to preserve as much of the burl characteristic as possible without placing the natural edge burl on the bottom. Base: 1 3/4" dia. Overall Height: 10 3/8&quot...

Another Mothers Day gift for Grandma ... A round bottom Box Elder hollow form with a little burl and some beautiful bright reds. It sure is some pretty wood. Its a little one ... 2 1/2" tall by 4 1/2" wide. I went with a little wider opening on this one, I think it fits the...

Elm Burl Hollow Form on a ped. 10" wide, 17" tall. I am weak on my spindle turning and I don't really care for these to much. They are not glued yet so I can turn some new ones after more practice. A few before, during and after pics can be seen here...

I wanted to do something to show the outside of the piece as well. The turning was straightforward but the base was a challenge for me. I actually turned 8 bases before I came up with this one. Measures 9" x 7-1/2" x 4" tall. The turned surface is buffed only.

I cleaned up the shop today and found a couple of Box Elder burl caps laying under one of the benches so off to the lathe I went... The HF is about 1 1/2 inches tall. I like the form but dont like the lip, its to big and to sharp of an angle into the transition, should of rounded it like I...

Well this piece started out to be a vase 6 inches taller than what is shown here ... now I guess its a bowl? I got the outside all shaped and sanded. It was going to be my biggest piece yet and I was quite pleased with myself, nice flowing lines and beautiful grain. I started hollowing out...

I hate it, my wife loves it... go figure! Thought I would post it and see what you all thought. Box Elder burl. 13" wide, 8" tall and 1/4"+ thick ... I left it a little thick so more of the burl spears would be left along the edge. Sanded to 1200 grit, soaked with BLO...

I finally got my new lathe last Friday, a jet 1642, and got a chance to break it in by turning another Box Elder Hollow Form. This one is 7 1/2" tall, 9" wide and about an 1/8" thick throught the whole piece. There is a large bark pocket almost half way across the bowl so it was...
