Woodturning: The Phoenix Burl! 🔥

Watch until the end to see the bonus pieces!!!!! The star of this video is charred burl that was salvaged from California after a wildfire. It is either Manzanita or Madrone burl. I don't usually go for thin walls, but I have seen this concept done and was curious if it could work for these pieces. A few of the blanks had saw marks, which meant I had to curve the walls and move the center to ensure complete natural edge around the piece. As might be expected, the pieces turned out fairly delicate and also rustic at the same time! This video is lucky #30! Let me know what you think!

On November 5, 2020 before sunrise, I was climbing a tree to my deer stand when I lost footing and fell about 25 feet to the ground. I woke up 20 minutes later thinking I had taken a nap under the tree for no apparent reason. I soon realized my back and right hand were broken, specifically my L1 vertebra burst fractured and my right index metacarpal broke in 5 pieces. I was able to walk about 100 yards out of the woods to my friend's waiting canoe and was taken to the hospital. God was very merciful. I could have become paralyzed or worse, but I am slowly getting back on my feet and hoping to make the best of 2021!
