Oak burl set #2

[Jack Mincey]

I had a day off so I cored the largest blank from the oak burl. They turned out great. I will return the bark edge bowls in a couple days. I got 9 out of this blank.

blank almost roughed out. It was a very large chunk of wood.

Beautiful stuff. That smile should wear off in a year or two... about the same time my envy starts to subside.:D

[Bernie Weishapl]

I was going to say it is hard to tell if you're having fun with that grin on your face. Good looking stuff Jack.

Now thats what I'm talking about! Nice bowls.

[Mark Hubl]

Nice work, making that look way too easy. If I had that wood, that space, and those machines I would be smilin' too.:D

Those are going to be a really nice looking set.

Jack, You are getting pretty darn good with that oneway coring tool! The burls you get are some of the best I have ever seen in oak. I am envious of you! They should be wonderful when the finish is on them.

Thanks everyone, the burl is very nice. I still have one big blank left to core so with luck I will have 27 bowls when it is done. As far as the shop I cored these in my school shop. The blank was 18" in dia and very tall which allowed me to core two bowls off the blank after I had cored the natural edge set. The depth makes it hard for me to core on my oneway lathe at home. I like using the tail stock for extra support when coring large bowls and the outboard side of my lathe is just a little short for this deep of blank anyway and the inboard side of a 1640 has a 16" swing.
Thanks again,
Jack
