Wormy Maple Burl

[bob svoboda]

Nothing special about the bowl-purposely left thick because of the 'explosion factor'. Thought the wormy wood was worth sharing.

That is one weird lookin chunk of wood. I like the bowl, but I think I would prefer a flat or satin sheen on this textured surface.

Currently I'm deaf but I can "hear" this whistling as you were turning it. Incredible piece of wood. Nicely done.

[Rich Aldrich]

Nice work. Interesting piece of wood. You probably spent some time thinkiing about this piece before you turned it. I bet woodturners are the only ones who can appreciate a wood worm.

[Jim Burr]

I sure hope all the worms moved out before you started that!! Not crazy about the shine, but it's a cool little bowl!

[Ron Stadler]

lots of character there, look nice, I have yet to try anything in burl, but they all the bowls and thingeeze ive seen made of it looks so nice.

[Donny Lawson]

That's about as earthy as it gets. Great job just getting it on the lathe in one piece to say nothing of getting it round. Nice job. Thanks for the looks

[dan carter]

Strange piece of wood. You did good.

[Ray Bell]

Very nice Bob, there were a whole lot of worms traveling through there.

[Steve Schlumpf]

WOW! That is one wormy chunk of burl! Love the texture of the piece and it sure knows how to grab your attention! Pretty cool!

[Baxter Smith]

That is the most wormy piece of wood I have ever seen turned. Reminds me of driftwood that the shipworms have been into.
