Pure dedication to Craft.........Mr. Bob Burduwal(Burruwal, don`t really know which spelling is accurate, nonetheless) His Mago`s are Absolutely Marvelous.... Awesome Instruments!!!
I hope one day soon to meet him in person. I Love this Dude....
I'm sure glad I bought a Bob B. mago a few years back as they're now much harder to come by. It's one hot-rod of a mago. I could tell he put a lot of work into it as my bore showed evidence of both chiseling and burning. A lot of other makers don't spend as much time honing the sticks. Indeed, Mr. Burduwal himself realizes how much Balanda like myself treasure his instruments 2:20.
What a beautiful person. You can tell he takes great pride in his work and wants EVERYBODY to have a mago. It would be gift just to play one. Great footage. Only on iDIDJ can you get this coverage. Great stuff!!!
I am not white. But brown. I may still be called a Balanda because i am not a native Australian. But i have ancestral family ties to the australian natives (dravidian connection).
One hole is enough for one mago, but with time the hole gets bigger I guess as there would be a bit of pressure pushing against the side of the hole from the chiseling. So when a hole is no longer suitable, a new one is dug.
Also, perhaps the dogs like digging up the holes and sleeping in them where it is cooler. I did notice that the old holes were bigger, and covered with leaves and rubbish. Once a hole is too big, the log can no longer stand up by itself but will be slanting at an angle which will make it harder to chisel.
Boy that looks like hard work. I wasn't sure how the bore was cut so thank you for that. I would never have the patience let alone the skill so to watch a master at work is a real joy.
Burduwal has hands like nothing I've seen before. It is no exaggeration when I say he could dig these holes, fast. In the first still picture near the end of the video clip, you can see a couple of old holes that have filled up with leaf litter.
as always a huge thank-you. For making the video, putting it up, and also spending the time to provide the wonderful written explanation. This video is a real eye-opener into the world of mago and bininj for all of us

Guan, do you have a vid of Bob playing an instrument. I heard that his playing is also impressive..
RealDIDJ 2 years ago
I don't but I heard him play for a short while, he is competent but not as good as Darryl, he is an old man after all.

One little question :
"The first thing to notice is the number of holes in the ground"
Why does he dig so much holes ? Wouldn't one be enough if he crafts one Mago at a time ???
