Maple and Redwood hamburger press. Great for those summer sliders on the BBQ. This project takes about an hour to complete. I 3 inch PVC pipe is used in the interior and use a food safe finish like Salad Bowl Oil Finish to complete your press.

Instead of the cap that you inserted here, couldn't you just go with the wood as long as you use a food safe finish?

@nicholls611 Yes just seal it up good.

Wow, really nice piece. I love watching your videos Carl, a real inspiration. Whenever i try to hollow out a bowl i always vibrate the lathe and it pops of or snaps. Are your tools exceptionally sharp? You move it so effortlessly and it never bites or moves. Im sure this is from you great skill, but im not sure how im doing it wrong. About to embark on making some "babooshka bowls" from differentt sized whitetop burls. They are pretty gummy and i would hate for them to snap or crack.

Thank. When say they cracked, is the wood dry or still wet? If it is wet, that might be why it is cracking. When it starts to get thin, I take just light cuts and yes I try and keep my tools sharp. good luck on the bowls. Send me some pictures.

Take care,

Carl
