EDGE of DISASTER– Turning a Giant LIME Burl on the lathe

In this woodturning video I take on an extreme woodturning challenge by attempting to turn a giant burl on the lathe that is packed with bark inclusions and natural defects. This massive lime burl is one of the most unstable burl pieces I have ever worked with, making it a risky woodturning project from the very first cut. If you enjoy watching real UK woodturning, challenging woodturning lathe projects, and turning natural edge bowls with plenty of drama, you’ll love this journey. Can this cracked burl survive the process and become a finished wood bowl? Let’s find out. Thanks for watching and feel free to leave comments in the chat below.
