It looks like a brain or a walnut kernal but I think it's not that!

From the color and the ease with which it turns, I am going to guess olive. And since you say rare, possibly wood from the Holy Land.

I'm gonna guess Tetraclinis articulata, sometimes known as sandarac or thuja, a north African wood famous for its rare and beautiful burl en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetraclinis

Thanks so much for not ruining it with resin. Simply lovely wood and work!

Wow! So happy there wasn’t any resin. Just the beauty of the wood and the skill of the artist

I have no idea how that didn't just shatter into a thousand fragments. Incredible work, and a gorgeous end result.

That piece of timber redefines the term, "gnarly"! The finished job looks incredible!

That has to be one of the most unusual turns I have ever seen, the wood is amazingly craggy and, I love that you worked with the voided areas, and left them as part of the finished work. I have said this before, but I have no idea how you see what you are doing brother. Just watching you made my eyes go buggy. Beautiful brother, beautiful.

Thank you too for not drowning this in resin. Incredible job hollowing out the inside!

The grain in that wood is exquisitely beautiful!! Such an amazing piece! Awesome job sir.

I think is oil from plant not epoxy

Wow at first I thought why is he wasting his time with this piece. Now I know, there was a beautiful piece inside waiting to get out. Nice job.

I agree about no resin being used. Truly beautiful with all natural. Love it

Unusual but beautiful piece. Love how the grains in the wood stands out. 👏👏🇦🇺

This is amazing Jack. Wonderful work. I’m very glad you let the wood speak for itself.

Visually stunning Hollow creation. I imagine a touch of light elements to bring a warm glow from within.

What a sublime object! Modern, yet intemporal. Love it!

Good morning Jack, that's stunningly beautiful. Hope you have a blessed and wonderful week. Love you and love to all

At first I was like, "why aren't you using resin on the piece ". Now I'm like, "sure glad you didn't use resin on the piece ". Awesome turn! Thanks, V

I don't know what the hell that wood is, but the finished product is exquisite! You are truly talented. Thanks for sharing !!

Absolutely stunning - I was nervous for you in the hollowing process - thinking just one catch would’ve blown it apart but I gotta say you gracefully did it - beautiful results and very stunning piece of art - super great job Jack

Beautiful Jack, really unique and amazing piece of artwork.

I am completely stunned at how gorgeous this piece is! The wood is incredible and the finished piece is amazing! I'm so glad you didnt use resin, it is perfect just the way it is.

Wow. I cannot recall ever seeing another piece like it. Fantastically unique.

Amazing turn! The grain is wonderful and the workmanship is definitely stunning! Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely love the finished piece. I love it when the grooves , ridges and grained are retained where possible as all those dark bits also are what makes wood art beautiful. I would buy that piece if was for sale as my kind of piece. Really beautiful.😊❤

What an amazing Masterpiece. Beautiful craftsmanship. Looks as if it was excavated on an archaeological dig. Remarkable piece of art. Bravo❗👏

Challenge completed . Always stunning pieces.👌Not sure why you didn’t approximately cut the protruding part off with the bandsaw first .

I'm also impressed by the minimal sanding, good to see finishing with the gouge 😊

Mad skills, J. I was certain that when you started with the gouge pieces would be flying and plan B would ensue. But no. I bow to your gentle persuasion of this dusty lump of burl. You found its soul and set it free.

Amazing! An irregular burl = a spectacular work of art! Keep doing what you love, Jack!

The finished bowl is absolutely beautiful. I didn't think something so gorgeous would be the result. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Astounding piece of wood. The grain is beautiful. You showcased it wonderfully!

What a stunning piece. I kept expecting you to fill the voids with resin and then hollow it but no. I'm amazed it held together. I was thinking it might be olive wood but I've never seen olive wood that looks fibrous as when you chiseled off the nubbin from the bottom. The only " wood " that fibrous that I've ever seen is hemp and that is basically compressed and stabilized. I wish I had your insight. Beautiful man, just beautiful.... Keep turning, Bill Riley.

I can’t imagine how you take a piece of wood and decide what it will become. And THEN just when I think it looks beautiful, you take it to the next level. Absolutely amazing.

Just Wow! Love everything about this piece. Well done

Really extraordinary and such gorgeous patterns in the wood. I’m so glad that you didn’t resort to resin, but I do have to admit to that I really felt it worthy of that beautiful pedestal!

Pezzo originalissimo e stravagante, unico nel suo genere !!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Simply stunning.

Love it! Fab work as always Jack!

Absolutely beautiful!

What an amazing transformation from what looked like a gnarly piece of wood just beautiful

A very beautiful piece of work, you allow the wood to speak for itself, a true piece of ART ON YOUR PART.

Hi Jack what a magnificent stunning piece of wood it has wonderful grain and nooks and crannies. The natural hollow creation is magnificent and unique It would look nice with an Led tealight in it to show the grain and holes up. Well done Jack you are very talented thank you for a great video.

It's like some piece of fae architecture with all those crags and voids!

Masterpiece, stunning work. 🤎💛🧡

Beautiful piece!

Nothing short of magnificent! When you started cutting off the base, I was thinking shape & leave it as a pedestal. But looking at the final result, I have to agree with your decision. She's a beauty!

Oh my word! I wondered what you would do with this beautiful piece of truly unique wood. You made a truly unique piece of art! Thank you sir, for respecting a tree with an amazing story to tell, by making…a gorgeous piece of art from a part of it, with an equally amazing story to tell. I absolutely love this❣️😍

Wow Jack. I thought it was going to come apart. Glad it didn't, spectacular.

Absolutely beautiful. I could sit and look at that, every time I would see something different. Bless. 👍🙏🏻

That is incredible. Imagine trying to carve that without a lathe. Very creative.

Now that awesome beauty can’t be done in your sleep or with your eyes closed. Masterful turning there! As others have noted, no resin makes for superior pieces

Stunning piece of art and beautiful wood grain ❤

What a stunner! No idea what kind of wood, but it's beautiful.

And once again you showed me that I know nothing! I thought you were finally going to produce something I didn't like, but nope love this one too! ;) You do amazing work and I love watching your creativity

Exquisite! Very unique! Magnificent piece!!!

i was wondering why you didnt cast it in resin but was amazed once you started hollowing it! fantastic work!

My favourite piece thus far that I've seen of your work.

Pure art.

Absolutely gorgeous

Fantastic work.

Wow! That was a daring piece of work. Well done!

Very nice tho I was surprised you didn’t put it in a bucket of resin. Resin seems to be the “in” thing right now. It’s definitely a beautiful piece with spectacular grain! Well done. 😊

Beautiful! I am so glad you did not "spoil" it with resin. In my expert opinion (I turned it once!) resin actually distracts from the beauty of the wood. And the mess! Never again. Kind regards.

That piece looked very dangerous , but what a stunning piece . Beautiful work Jack Mack .

Totally amazing.

Stunning and very brave .

I'm glad it held together beautiful work of art thanks for sharing

Beautiful design 👍👍 You have done a great work. 😍😍

That turned our gorgeous.

Amazing , great stuff.

Hollowing skills to the nth degree!

WOW ! beautiful grain !

Absolutely beautiful. I can’t believe it didn’t explode on you. I know that was a bear to turn. Nice job, well done and awesome.

What an amazing looking piece

Magnificent thank you for sharing

That is beautiful

Amazing i was thinking it might break.Great job.

A fantastic work of art! It would look good as a rose bowl too - put a small container of water inside, arrange four or five large garden roses in the the container, with the rose heads hanging over the edge.

Absolutely Amazing

This is AMAZING!!!! TYFS

Are used to have a lave but never used it. If I could’ve made stuff like this my God it’s beautiful. You are a very clever man of an old piece of wood. You create a marvellous piece of art. Well done

There are some big holes in your vase. You are lucky it didn't fly apart in pieces. Looks great.

Grand-tastic ! Only 3 of us thought it might explode while turning inside .

To begin with I was worried that you were going to break your wrist. You've created a beautiful sculpture that showcases the natural beauty of the medium in a wonderful way. I did for a little while think that it was going to end up being a lamp 🤔

Wonderful!!
