Grimbo;s ash burl bowl...

[wolfofice]

how did you crave it out?

[gelflingfaysuzanne]

what was the black stuff you put the handle on with? and what kind of oil did you use?



[wolfbushcraft]

@gelflingfaysuzanne the black stuff is pine pitch,the oil was sesame oil

[hobo31009]

i love that bowl grimbo,v v nice!

[wolfbushcraft]

@hobo31009 thankyou

[SensaeBushcraft]

do you know how/why a burl forms on a tree? great stuff btw

[wolfbushcraft]

@SensaeBushcraft its because it has been cut, or broke in this case the limb is missing if you look you can see where it was..,the sap forms over the cut and continues to swell,this then grows as a deformity,as solid wood,birch in my opinion makes the best burls...hope this helps..thanks

[bushcraftourway]

whats you acctually name?

[touchnova]

Fantastic man, wow. The handle is the brilliant as well, 5 stars.

[piceaspruce]

cool bowl, nice work. That is not a burl though. It is a healed over branch stub btw.

[Mueiwark]

Mighty impressive

[akoolj]

Nice! I only wish you would have shown some of the actual carving. Keep up the good work!

[nedeljkomostar]

Beutiful work. The Antler handle idea is just amaizing. I wish I had one to put on my burl bowl, or kuksa how they call it in Skandinavia. WTG man 5/5

[bushmag]

nice one there grimbo!!

[KURGAN44]

Beautiful bowl! Did you use linseed oil?

[emmon72cz3x]

Please, name of song and artist. Nice work, too.

[SkipEvans123]

Great music. Is it aboriginal?

[wolfbushcraft]

australian yes,its a shamanic ritual..

[NancyToday]

Thank you for this! It NEVER occured to me to use a small handsaw to cut a burl off a tree! Duh! I am going to do this! So you drilled the holes in the inside to give you an easier way to carve the center out? I have to learn about your pine glue now. I have lots of antlers here! Yippee. Thank you SOOOO much!

[wolfbushcraft]

yes the holes help...check out the link,for my website,its easier to discuss things there...grimbo.

[wizzla111]

[ANCESTERSMEMORIES]

awesome

how lng did it take

have you made one with just a chisel,mallet

[wolfbushcraft]

it took 2 days,,it was made only with the tools i mentioned no chisel..

[cookiecat111]

cool video

[ROFLpwnedvideos]

At first I misread the name of the video, and I thought it said "Ash bow"...so when I saw you sawing the knob off that tree I was like "Um....how is that going to make a bow?"

I need to learn to read better. Haha.

[OneWithGuns93]

great job, 4\5

i think the handle is great but may get in the way when eating.

[wolfbushcraft]

thanks for the 4 stars m8,people like you i need around ,just to entertain me...i would like to see you produce a bowl,and can i ask in what way do you see it getting in the way when eating,or would you beng so clever hold the bowl and not the handle????

[WeaponCollector]

great work grimbo, it came out great , 5/5, keep it up mate.

mike

[BUSHCRAFTandCANOE]

wow *** nice work !!!

I`d created a typical sami birch "kuksa" several years ago during a trip in nothern finnland ...cost me a lot of sweat, blood ... and patience :O) ... so - respect!

[Caveman0713]

hey there grimbo, I was kinda wondering if you could message me and maybe explain to me how I can use my pitch for crafts. I know what to use it for, its just that every time I heat it up it catches fire and it hardens almost immediately. With no time to utilize.

[wolfbushcraft]

you are heating it up too near the fire flames,an not using it quick enough...

[wildlifeed]

OUtstanding!! Very nicely done!! 5/5

Ed

[hobbexp]

thats is what i call a bowl, nice 5/5

[CreamPie9uy]

superb job mate. lovin' the handle, bowled me over ... sorry, couldn't resist.

[moleman1961]

A fine piece of work there! I`m impressed!

[LoveRise]

Could you tell us what tool or tools you used to carve out the center of the bowl.

With much appreciation...Laurie

[wolfbushcraft]

as mentoned i drilled small holes for depth gauges,but the carving was done with my leuku knife,and my crook knife,ive featured these in other videos,hope this helps....grimbo

[SkogKniv]

Just outstanding craft work on that Grimbo! 100/5

[fegman]

nice video grimbo, love the bowl!

[charper3006]

Very nice bowl Grimbo. What did you oil it with?

[wolfbushcraft]

sesame oil..

[atomdongle]

top vid grimbo, such a simple idea well done 5*

[colddrake80]

Very nice video and very nice bowl. I've heard of these bowls before and really do want to make one for myself. Pretty straight forward process - if time consuming - but I had one question. At 3:02 I noticed some neatly spaced holes in the bowl. Did you drill those and if so why? Thanks again for the great video.

[wolfbushcraft]

i drilled small holes as gauges or markers,this is so i dont carve too deep,once ive carved out the holes i have the depth i need....hope this helps...grimbo..

[IHatchetJack]

this is good!!..ill bet the burl was hard sawin..

[wolfbushcraft]

yes it took a while...

[lhrdo]

NICE VIDEO !!!
