The great thing about crafts, any craft, is that when things don't go exactly to plan, is how to use your skills, flexibility and imagination to find a way to come up with a suitable response, and make art out of broken. Nice result.

Exactly, I did that with my 3 stack pumpkin project, the side split diagonally while I was chiseling it but decided then to sand so they all look like it.

Yes in my training as a cabinetmaker I was told that the real skill is how to correct your mistakes, I also turn wood and have spent many hours turning unstable wood, I gave that up as I got older it didn't seem to be worth the effort or the time and the piece wasn't easy to sell. I love oak and turning it , it waxes and oils great and age well too

I love to see how mistakes and issues are overcome. I think it looks great.

One of my favorite parts about these wood turning projects is the fact that the ugly, broken, rotten looking spots or parts end up being what gives that piece it's unique beauty. When done correctly of course. The epoxy really helps!

Impressive save there! it made me wonder what solutions turner had before resin was invented. I'm sure they didn't throw away hours of work without their own tricks and fixes.

Without conquering challenges, we'd all be mediocre at best. Good job. 👍

Your ability to overcome adversity is an inspiration. Maybe I should try wood turning again this in the summer when my work space is warm enough to tolerate - the joys of a Canadian winter and old joints, grin.

Love how you chat through your videos sir. So helpful to someone like me who is less than a novice at this point. Much appreciated.

Well Rod my friend you fought hard and didn't let it beat you. I wouldn't expect anything else from you. I truly love this piece probably because it tested you so much and you didn't give in. I'm a bit odd sometimes but that's me,take care stay safe.love to the boss ( susan).😘😁🙏🙏

I don't know why you fell off my feed but I'm thankful you showed back up. The piece looks great, and Airborne All The Way!!

Nice job pushing through the set backs. Totally heard you when you said, "It tested my patience." It's a very nice piece. Usually one thinks of oak and it's pretty vanilla but this piece has a lot of character and grain variation.

Thanks very much, Jeremy! 😊

Beautiful bowl and excellent video on how to correct problems while turning. Non- turners just don’t realize the time you can put into 1 bowl. Great job!😊

Wonderful outcome. I very much enjoy watching video of a “save”. Thank you for posting …

I see you had one of those project this week also ! you've done a great job of repairing it and getting it finished, I'm not actually a fan of Oak, but the colors in this piece are great and I really like it, Thumbs up as always !

Wonderful grain, and a good solution to a 'knotty' problem. Thanks. I learned something today.

The bowl is beautiful!!! The blue accent turned out great.

Amazing grain and colors in that wood. And a great save!!

Glad I found this. I was given an almost identical burl a couple of months ago with the filed center. I’m planning on making knife handles from it. Nice to know more about what to expect!

Thanks for the pro tip hack on drilling straight. I keep learning watching your KZread videos Thanks heaps

I have had a few fly aways myself!!! Thanks for the limb burl!!!!

I'd say for a gnarly piece of wood, it turned out pretty good! Thanks for the video.

When life gives you lemons, pour resin on them and make them into a beautiful work of art. You are an inspiration!

These rescued bowls are my favorites, and you did a masterful job with this one.

Looks awsome

Never would have done the five minute. That piece of wood was way too beautiful to accommodate that flaw. I'm doing one of these burles exactly as yours except maybe a little bigger and I sliced mine ninety degrees from how you sliced yours. Have a good one, Marine.

I this this bowl turned out just fine! Nice save with the resin. Thanks

Yes, a very beautiful bowl, even more so for the problems it gave you, and you over came. Well done sir.

Looks very nice, Top! Glad you were able to repair it!

You make it with the perfect way. Cheers Rod 👍

I’m glad you were able to save this from going into the fireplace. Any wood that has a pattern as beautiful as this deserves to be admired for generations to come. My grandpa always said Mother Nature was the best artist in the world.

Lots of good lessons on this one. Nice recovery

Impress how you recovered ,which I probably put in the firebox, I never gave it a chance to come out looking such a nice piece. Well done. Then thats experience of you being a professional and me a amateur and I watch these videos to pickup these tips . Well done, I learnt a lot tonight. I'll be back for more. Love your channel. Cheers, John. New Zealand

Very nice. Improvise, adapt, and overcome!

Well Done and nice job 😁😁😁👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻It’s good to see that you didn’t give up on it, that would have been the easy way out! I feel extremely Blessed to have come across this video and yourself! It’s good that you give a commentary on what you’re doing, you’re the 1st person as a Wood Turner to do this on You Tube so Thank You x a Zillion for that! I look forward to watching more of your talented works!! Blessed Be 💫🙏🏻💫

Looks good!! Mother nature on display.

The wonderful thing about odd or "difficult" pieces of wood is that they might not become an anticipated object... but with some skill and creativity they become beauful pieces of art. The grain alone inside this piece was worth the effort.

Rod, challenge met and, concord! Another masterpiece. The contrasts are so pretty. As always, hugs to Sue! ❤️

Great counsel for all; especially for the chosen!

It’s so cool to look at the wood from the inside and see this angle!

If I had not seen some of these woodturning videos, I wouldn't believe that something so beautiful could result from something so rough. You guys are so talented (and patient).

Hi Rob it looks like you were caught in a dust storm. It is beautiful.

I think it is a beautiful bowl. How you bring the beauty of this gift from God is amazing

When you grabbed it and started turning it on bench. I was waiting for Billy Gibbons face to be where bald patch was! 😂 That lump looks like his hat

Great bowl and better verse. Just shared that earlier in week with my buddies. Thanks for sharing.

Nice piece Rod 😉👍

What a wonderful, challenging gift from your viewers!

That is one busy piece if wood and I think it turned out fantastic!

That gorgeous grain that you coaxed into view was well worth the trouble--thank you for having the patience to uncover it! (And yes, that scripture is especially meaningful these days, when we all feel tempted to take pride in our wrath!)

That grain is stunning! Good save. The resin is a nice touch. You earned a new subscriber

Beautiful wood under all that trouble... Well worth it..

The imperfection is exactly what makes it perfect! Nice job turning a flaw into an asset.

Great save, Buddy! It IS perfect! You were able to use this beautiful burl and show off how beautiful it is!

Nice save. Burls are always worth the extra effort.

improvise adapt and overcome! beautiful!

Nice Recovery ! Way to adapt and over come , some intestinal fortitude ,right there!!!

Not sure why KZread put this in my feed, but I'm glad it did, and I enjoyed watching this. Thank you!.

Beautiful piece. The imperfections are what makes it unique.

Thanks for showing us it can be done. It in fact turned out BEAUTIFUL 😍 THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME.

Such a promising looking burl at the onset..but you improvised and overcame..well done hoorah!

Never disappoint! Thank you Sir

Ha! Loved the little angry face! Burls always have such beautiful patterns. I can't believe how pretty the little splots of blue turned out!

Way to adapt and overcome the issues that grumpy burl gave you!!!

Despite all the issues, it still turned out great.

OMG wow that burl is so so beautiful. weldone. love it loads.

Well done! Each burl is a learning experience, no matter how many have been turned.

Job well done. I knew as soon as I saw the scowl in that piece of wood that you were going to have trouble. Lol. But you persevered and overcame.. very nice piece of oak there.

Burls are definitely "a box of chocolates " as Forrest said. Mine flipped off twice! It's still on the lathe. I haven't figured out how to epoxy it. Worth the effort, beautiful job.

It fought a good battle but you won. It is a beautiful bowl. I really like the colors in the grain.

I don't know how I missed this video from 3 months ago. The grain is beautiful and you did a great job saving this amazing bowl.

Beautiful piece and one helluva nice save with that branch.

To find the beauty in imperfections is a true measure of the finders soul.. wonderful piece.

Anyone can turn an easy bowl. Well, almost anyone, but that bowl speaks volumes about it's craftsman, and every word is complimentary. Great work, great persistence and magnificent result. I'll be looking forward to your next video.

Great save of a very pretty bowl! Well done

Quite honestly, I like it better AFTER the "left exit"! !! !!! Came out great

Love the grain of the wood!

Great save, beautiful bowl!

It’s flaws are apparent, but the complexity if the grain and the contrast between the light and dark woods really captures the soul of the burl you started with. Can the flaws even be called flaws or should it just be considered part of the texture of the piece. The blue accent is a testimony to the skill you brought to the final product.

Beautiful, I love this piece. It’s amazing the transformation ❤ thanks Rod

Great work, Marine!…..Semper Fi!

Great save! I love that you used blue, my fave color, to stabilize the branch area, thereby being able to finish the bowl! Amen to your Food for Thought! God bless you and Semper Fi!

Rod well saved it turned out great, Congratulations

That was a great recovery there buddy, the wood has some lovely grain in it to. Per Mare Per Terram

Very nice piece. Problem pieces make for better turnings. As always you come through.

Awesome save on that Burl! I really enjoyed this video, the bowl came out beautifully!

I like it. A very busy grain pattern, but captivating. Nice final piece, Rod. I must say that I do not know how you guys do it. Dealing with the trolls. I expect Mr. Waste of Nails and Epoxy to get his rude self back here to compliment you saving the piece with your work on this one. Guess I made the mistake of reading the comments. All I know is the free education and entertainment you all provide us is invaluable and not deserving of some of the garbage you have to deal with. Thank you, from the rest of us.

The various imperfections and repairs only add to the visual interest of the finished piece. Very nice work!

Love it; burl bowls are so amazing, and you made something strong and beautiful from a chunk of oak that was clearly out to *get* you.

"When life deals you lemons," ..... well, you know how it goes. Nice piece of "lemonade" you've created there, Sir. Beautiful!

l like this burl! You know, it's exciting!

Long time love yr work. In The beginning I started watching you Samantha and a few others know I got my shop going appreciate it man

Beautiful piece, Semper Fi and God bless!

This project reminds me of how God takes our sometimes rough outer appearances, or the scars and flaws we've buried deep inside, sometimes both, then slowly breaks them down to reveal our true beauty, and refines us into a masterpiece for His glory. Thank you for unexpected lesson as I sit down to write my proclamation of God's Word (sermon) for this Sunday.

I am so glad your persevered, because that wood is gorgeous ♥️♥️♥️

Great job with a difficult piece of wood. Looks good!

Good evening, Rod. I like this rescue bowl. Definitely a challenge, we have that in life. "Exit stage left." Staying the course, fighting the fight, not giving up. Looks like a win to me. Good scripture. Semper Fidelis

Saving that limb definitely makes the bowl stand out. The multiple contrasts in wood colors throughout the piece, inside and out, just make the whole thing quite beautiful. The blue resin holding the limb in the bottom gives it a an almost ethereal appearance when you look down into it, just topping off all of the other contrasts. Adapt and overcome for sure.

Rod that's what I like about wood turning is solving problems and very seldom do I give up on a piece. That's how we learn...

Even with the difficulties, I think it still turned out nice

I think it's gorgeous! After a few hiccups, it turned out beautifully! Burl grain is the best!

It turned out very beautiful Rod.

Great info…not every blank is solid and whole. I have harvested an 8 year old red oak root ball (30” diameter) cut into 4 to 6 inch slabs which has unveiled a treasure of burl-like grain but with a scattering of faults. This going to be a winter of blanks, rough turns and epoxy but should yield dozens of bowls, art pieces ( and maybe kindling) and immense amounts of joy and satisfaction…..plus some $ I hope. You just reminded me that they don’t have to be perfect to be beautiful!

Ron I would be more than proud to make a bowl as good as that. Fantastic RON

Kind of like God working with us. Plenty of imperfections, but He patiently keeps working with us to bring about a beautiful result. Looks good Rod!
