Woodturning - Golden Rain Burl (The Most Beautiful Wood I Have Ever Turned)

Natural Edge Hollow Form.

In this woodworking video I use a woodturning lathe to turn a piece of laburnum burl, (golden rain burl) into a natural edge hollow form.

When woodturning a piece like I find it important to nibble away at it until I see what shape the wood wants to be, this is what is so enjoyable about woodturning. big log to bowl (little bowl) but i find removing the wood in layers allows me to find the best possible shape.

There is something very satisfying in the knocking, clacking, rattatat tatting, sizzling, whirring, and humming of the tools and machinery. I appreciate that you didn't dub this with music or rush us through the process or overwhelm the work with words. It is a stunningly beautiful piece of wood, and you brought it out into the light.
God is good.

I used to work for a community banking company that celebrated Arbor Day each spring by giving away about 3000 seedling trees to the public as a PR event. Over the years, we gave away Green Ash, Red Bud, Hawthorn and Golden Rain seedlings.This project ran for at least 25 years and probably netted upwards of 7 to 10 thousand new trees in our community assuming about 10 to 15 per cent actually were planted and grew. I think the project ended in the late 1980s so the youngest of these trees would be over 30 years old by now. Since we featured Golden Rain trees every three or so years there is an abundance of mature examples of this species in my hometown and each time I visit, I see them everywhere. Really an unusual and attractive tree in an urban setting. The yellow flowers in June, followed by the tawny-colored lantern seed pods and small, dark green leaves make this a very special tree. To know its wood is so decorative makes me feel really glad I helped bring a large number of these great trees to my old home town.

That's the most sensational graining I've ever seen on a piece of wood. Like silk paisley. Love the shape, too.

[marybethleib]

Pure handcrafted artistry. The talent must be as rare as that burl.

You edit out the stops along the way, I love to see the wood develope. For me, seeing the lathe spin down and taking a good look at the piece is much more entertaining than watching a blur with shavings flying off. I love your pieces, just great work. I was kinda saving that comment from past videos, when you switched to hallowing and I saw the grain pattern, holy cow. That is a lottery win piece of wood.

You are right that is the most beautiful wood I have seen on here.

[aranka]

Awesome grain. Love that you left the top opening as a natural edge.
Gives the piece tons of character.

[kipmoore]

I have to agree with you, truly astonishing.

[jsking]

I could sit for hours just staring at the patterns in this piece. Beautiful!

Boy is that pretty. Nature makes the best art !

A great hobby. Anybody who does not get some kind of creative outlet is missing one of the greatest pleasures in life. And you don't have to be an artist to get the full enjoyment of it.

[larryweinberg]

calling the piece figured would be a massive understatement. It is alive.

[rayshelld]

What few pieces of artisan turned wood i have purchased are burl. I love the random veins. This piece is indeed a real beauty. Almost has a marble look to it. Very well done. A true piece of art.

[angelaricks]

So far this is my favorite one, you have done. It has a natural opening, it is large and it has a foot. I love the colors and the overall shape.

Dude,

That is about the prettiest wood I have ever seen some turn. That is definitely a keeper. I don't think that piece would ever leave my house. If you take it to an exhibit someone might offer you too much to turn down for it.

A thought popped in my head while I was watching you sanding. A Sand-o-flex, with about 180 grit paper in it, would have saved you a lot of time and done a great job on the bark inclusions.

Great job, great piece.

[ErgonBill]

Your design has complimented this so well. This piece belongs in a glass case at an exhibit. Can see you making a very good price on this. Stunning!

[SilverBack.]

Absolutely stunning grain pattern, Jack you have done a great job showing it at it's best 👏👏👏👏
