Coolest turning of a banksia pod ever! They're usually drowned in resin and turned into a vase or a lined coffee mug. This is beautiful and unique! Thank you!
Never seen a Banksia pod turned this way - usually they soak them in epoxy and make them into a vase or something but we can always count on you to be different! Love from Scotland 🏴
Hi Andy, When you started, i was like" wtf is he going to do with that." Your level of creativity, just blows my mind!!! What an amazing piece. Love your work.
I had to look up what a banksia pod was as I had never heard of one before. What a curiously creepy kawinkydink from down under, lol. Very interesting piece, Andy.
That is weirdly stunning! Hardly surprising when the family of _Banksia_ plants were named after the naturalist/botanist who took 2 greyhounds on an already overcrowded ship to Australia and all around there (IIRC Cook's "Endeavour". It's not 7am yet, give me a chance!), and noted that kangaroos could even outrun them! Anyone who loves hounds is a good person in my book, and is usually pretty weird too (we're on our 8th in over 30 years, usually more than one at a time, are often in overcrowded homes lol), so this fits perfectly! 😂 Seriously, it's like nothing else I've ever seen and is a stunning work. It's a perfect representation of his many discoveries on that voyage, along with its many difficulties. I don't know what you had in mind on deciding to do this, whether you were attempting to recognise Banks in it or not, but IMHO, you more than did the great man justice 😊
Absolutely incredible!! I can, without a doubt, say that I've never seen a banksia pod turned like that. That's why I enjoy your channel. When it comes to thinking outside the box, you say, "What's a box?".
When I first saw it in your hand i thought it was somee type of coral, great to get a history lesson along with watching a wood guru create this unique piece, thanks.
I simply cannot believe how you made this Banksia Pod into a winged, enclosed bowl!!! Amazing!!! Love it, I wish you did more videos, weekly I guess … your talent is awe inspiring!!! Thank you.
I had never heard of this type of wood. I Googled banksia pod and in the comments section of the explanation, one questioner asked "...can you smoke it?" {sigh} California Dreamin'. Great video with excellent editing and speed effects to keep things interesting.
. . . . 🙃. . . . . I mean...you're right it did start and finish wierd...beautiful pattern in the wood...would make an interesting "Lamp Light" piece...super trippy when you were spinning and working on it. I like it ❤, keep up the great work mate 👍
I have a couple of these and was wondering what to do with then. You have given me an idea. Not the same but an idea. Thanks good turning that. The Arapuni wood turner.
Cool! Oldman Banksia pod, native of Australia! Pods need fire to open. Great to see something from my home being turned into something so beautiful and unique! 😍
Really neat, Andy. And unique. That's the first time I've seen a banksia pod turned that way. Every other time they've been "spindle" turned and sometimes with resin. Great job. Bill
If you work with those seed pods again, you could put them in some yellow resin and turn them into eaten corn cobs. Add some light, and you’ve got some rally different night lights. I’d call what you made weirdly cool? 😊
The second I saw you mount it in the lathe transversely, I knew it was going to be even weirder than the thumbnail led me to believe. I live for such cool weirdness.
It’s actually very pretty, I wonder want it would look like with the holes filled by resin in aconflicting or even compatible colour. Thanks for sharing.
It turned out really cool, Andy. I like it, and the colouring is great too. it also sort of resembles the Golden Snitch from Harry Potter if the Monster book got to it. Great job on this one, what will you come up with next?
Cricky Andy very cool intro, very large Westen Australia banksa pod. You have taken that to the next level bloody outstanding piece of art you should be proud of yourself. Keep the dream alive son Aussie Aussie Aussie GDAY MATE from brisbane Australia
So cool to watch material flying off from “empty” space.
Oh that's looks trippy on the running lathe...tie-fighter in a blender.
End product looks like a really cool sea creature fossil. Nicely done.
Coolest turning of a banksia pod ever! They're usually drowned in resin and turned into a vase or a lined coffee mug. This is beautiful and unique! Thank you!
Thankyou ..
Exactly! I love this channel because others use resin all the time and I just love to watch the beauty of wood without some glitter...
Never seen a Banksia pod turned this way - usually they soak them in epoxy and make them into a vase or something but we can always count on you to be different! Love from Scotland 🏴
Every single time I watch one of this guys vids it ends with showing us a masterpiece.. Best wood turner Iv seen on TH-cam.. hands down..
I don't think I am, but thanks so much 👍
@@AndyPhillipWoodturning- I agree with John…hands down.
I had never considered turning a pod that way! Thanks for sharing your ideas again.
Hi Andy, When you started, i was like" wtf is he going to do with that." Your level of creativity, just blows my mind!!! What an amazing piece. Love your work.
First time I've seen a banksia bod turned that way. Phenomenal work, looks great!
😮 it looks like an ancient oil burner from 2000 years ago! That is so so cool! The holes and whorls are facinating
It looks like a reverse pine cone. Neat to see Aussies chime in and talk about their experiences :)
weird...perhaps, wonderfully unique... absolutely, I love it!!! ❤
Glad you like it
That's actually pretty neat. It's unique and I have never seen anyone but you make one. Very cool piece
I had to look up what a banksia pod was as I had never heard of one before. What a curiously creepy kawinkydink from down under, lol. Very interesting piece, Andy.

Cool! Makes me want to get more adventurous with my turning. Very creative.
WOW Andy, one of your most creative projects yet and that's saying A LOT! !! !!!
Never heard of a Banksia pod before. It turned out so cool! It has a real sci-fi vibe to it.
How very like you to turn one of these differently from everyone else! Stunning work!
When I first saw it in your hand i thought it was somee type of coral, great to get a history lesson along with watching a wood guru create this unique piece, thanks.
Beautiful, you can spin art from the weirdest wood piece. Bravo.
Thank you!
Nothing wrong with weird. It’s weirdly beautiful.
Or beautifully weird
I simply cannot believe how you made this Banksia Pod into a winged, enclosed bowl!!! Amazing!!! Love it, I wish you did more videos, weekly I guess … your talent is awe inspiring!!! Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Weird but strangely attractive.
For a second I thought it was a genie lamp. 😂 ❤
Something definitely different on that one. Never seen one of them before. Cool. Nice job. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
It would be a good one except the oil would leak out.
Quite popular here in Aus, another fantastic job Andy.
Many thanks!
That changeover from spinning to the reveal I audibly gasped. Almost alien and wonderful.
At no point did I have any idea how the finished piece would look and I loved it. Amazing piece.
Thanks

I like it very much. I've turned a few of these length ways but never 'Cross'. I think I will give it a go to make tea candle holders.

Weird is a good description but beautiful too!
Very unique, banksia pods are very cool
Aussie here. Love what you did with that nut . You are an ARTIST.
Very weird, but eventually unusual and beautiful, very clever!
That's absolutely spectacular.
Andy, your talent, vision and ability never ceases to amaze me!
It may be weird, Andy, but there's no denying that it draws the viewer in. It's near-impossible to not look at it. 👍
What an interesting and unique piece! The strange shape it was turned to really complements the texture of the pod
Unusual looking wood turned into a beautiful piece of art! Nicely done! ❤
Thank you!
Wow never seen one turned that way before it looks amazing Love it
Now thats a really fun piece!!
I have a couple of these and was wondering what to do with then. You have given me an idea. Not the same but an idea. Thanks good turning that. The Arapuni wood turner.
And again, a fine exclusive work from Andy 👍. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹.
Thanks
Wow...sketch stuff..considering how sharp they are...lots of air turning there.......looks great ..nice job!
Banksia pod and Australian Grass Tree Root are 2 unusual items that make beautiful finished pieces.
I've turned a couple of grass tree roots .. Australia never disappoints with the cool things to turn
Not weird, but abstract. I think it looks fantastic!
Wow! What a beautiful work, Andy! 😮
Stunning piece!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Interesting turning, never would have imagined that was hiding in that piece, well done
Great piece ,clever idea🎉❤
Wow, I have turned banksia pods, but never thought of doing it sideways. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing
Thanks 👍
The world needs more creative artists like Andy. People need to engage.
Cool! Oldman Banksia pod, native of Australia! Pods need fire to open. Great to see something from my home being turned into something so beautiful and unique! 😍
Thanks for watching!
Really neat, Andy. And unique. That's the first time I've seen a banksia pod turned that way. Every other time they've been "spindle" turned and sometimes with resin. Great job.
Bill
Thanks 👍
I love this- reminds me of the golden sitch from Harry Potter. Apair of these made as candleholders would look amazing
Well done Andy. Never seen a banksia pod turned this way.
And now for something completely different! Unique only begins to describe it.
I totally would’ve thought that Banksia pod would have come apart. That’s definitely different though. Looks good.
Wow, really magical! 😲
If you work with those seed pods again, you could put them in some yellow resin and turn them into eaten corn cobs. Add some light, and you’ve got some rally different night lights. I’d call what you made weirdly cool? 😊
I'm impressed with how you carve thin air. It probably doesn't look that way while you're working the piece, but the truth is revealed in the video. 🤨
looks very cool, candle holder perhaps?
Without a doubt a conversation starter if I ever saw one - cheers and great work, Andy!
Thanks!
That is awesome. Really cool design.
This triggered my trypophobia
SAAAAAMMMMEEEEEE
I don't even have trypophobia but the thumbnail made me intensely uncomfortable.
Same here😢
Mine too!!!
Same 😅
Not weird at all! Stunning!
maybe a little weird but very interesting. definitely a conversation starter.
Weird, sure, but what beautiful weirdness! Cheers.
This is SUPER amazing! Kinda gives me a Golden Snitch vibe 🤔😵💫🤯🤦♀️🤷♀️🤟🤗😍🥰
Супер 👍👏👏👏!!! Вы настоящий эстет!!!
Great job 🌟 Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Thank you very much!
Crikey a Banksia Pod ??? Now that's really clever 🇦🇺 😊
Definitely different.I’d say your the only one who could of pulled that off.next.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Thanks 👍

So weird... I love it! 👏
I think that's the most original thing I've seen done with a banksia seed pod. The irony of NOT using resin though 😂
Cool turning!
Stunning I love it
Looks liked a well used quidditch ball 😂 love your videos 👍🏼🙂
Bonjour Mr Andy quel superbe travail de tournage bravo .
Par contre vous avez oublié de mastiquer les trous 😂😂😂😂😂😂
What a cool thing!! 😎
Oh something new!😲
Beautiful piece as always
It turned out really cool, Andy. I like it, and the colouring is great too. it also sort of resembles the Golden Snitch from Harry Potter if the Monster book got to it.
Great job on this one, what will you come up with next?
Thank you! The Snitch !! I see what you mean
@@AndyPhillipWoodturning Welcome Andy, I love your work and what you can create with the wood that you find
Beautiful use of the pod.
Andy that is a cool piece!! Love it! 😊
Wow so very unique. I think my favorite piece!
Thanks so much!
Bizzare but so cool to watch ❤
Cricky Andy very cool intro, very large Westen Australia banksa pod. You have taken that to the next level bloody outstanding piece of art you should be proud of yourself. Keep the dream alive son Aussie Aussie Aussie GDAY MATE from brisbane Australia
Thank Ernie 👍
Cool and Weird at the same time! Love it!
Glad you think so!
The beauty of nature.
Love it!!! I want one 😁💙
Was not expecting an alien mothership! 👽 Very cool.
OOOOH, nice weird though...I love it! ❤
Beautiful odd looking creature
Very!
That is awesomely cool!
You are a genius ❤ what a work ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much
Never seen one of these before…weird looking thing! As always you made it look good
Thank you
Such a strange bit of wood turned into a great result.
What a fascinating thing! I love it! :D
This is cool. It reminds me of Alladins lamp. Put a scented candle in and you even enhance that effect.
