So glad I found your channel! It is refreshing to see someone that appreciates the wood flaws and all. No need for resins or fillers just let the wood be what it is. You do beautiful work and am amazed with your final piece. Thank you for your fresh work and sharing your talents with us.

Thank you very much, such a nice thing to say. Welcome to the channel and I hope you can stay a while.

Wow! Mike this is a great video especially because due to you verbalizing your thought processes thru out the entire turn. I really enjoy that connection it gives us to the build. What an amazing elm burl bowl. This elm bowl has such a unique grain pattern, characteristics, and along with the many defects (cracks and holes) making it truly a "One-of-a-Kind" Bowl. Thank you for bringing on this adventure.

Hi Ken, so glad you enjoyed it. I'm still fairly new to this KZread and I hope the quality and presentation of my videos will improve further. I was so glad with the way this one came out, for a while I thought I would just end up with a bucket of dust. Thanks for your support, it means a lot, Mike

That was an especially gnarly piece of wood, Mike. It looked like something found in an Egyptian tomb. Your determination paid off as you transformed it into something beautiful. Very well done!
