Australian Burl Vases and Bowls

A tall natural edged Jarrah Burl Vase. Hollowed using a Vermec Deep Hollowing Tool. Finished with several coats of Danish Oil

This Jarrah Burl Vase has been turned and hollowed retaining the natural edge of the burl. It has been sanded down to 2000 grit and finished wirh several coats of Danish Oil

A shallow Coolabah Burl Bowl. Note how with no beads or a rim this bowl lacks that "wow factor". I now tend to do a rim or place some beads around the rim to highlight changes in profile. See images of Australian Burl Platters for examples.

A 35cm Coolabah Burl Bowl with a natural edge. The edge has been bleached. Finished with Danish Oil

Another bowl with a bleached natural edge

Another bowl with a natural edge. This time thicker with an under-cut rim.

Tasmanian Myrtle Burl Bowl, ~ 35cm, finished with Danish Oil.

This large ~58cm, burl bowl was turned from a very old Australian burl of unknown species. Probably Coolabah but not sure.

This large, >45cm, bowl has been turned from a big chunk of Coolabah Burl. The natural edge around the rim was bleached three times to provide a stark contrast with the rest of the bowl. Finished with Danish Oil.
