It is amazing to see that a piece of wood that most people will chuck it into the fire, turns into an object of beauty. You have a remarkable skill. thanks you for posting this.
love this piece Andy, the burnt edge is a great look & compliments the darker areas, really enjoy the wood coming to life with whatever you decide to finish it with
Hi Andy, this is a truly beautiful piece. The green resin adds that hint of colour. I have to say, I love to see a manual worker with beautifully clean hands, and especially clean nails. Your hands are real gentleman’s hands. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us. Xxx
The wood you work with is always so interesting. The patterns, ware, colours even the flaws that you manage to make into something fascinating to behold. Lovely...
Once you had your way with the piece of Beech firewood, the finished product created more aesthetic warmth than it would have created physically when burning in a fire. And, of course, it’s still warming hearts whilst the firewood would have turned to ash. Bravo Andy!
The jade epoxy really works with the beach grain. love the fret saw/burrs work and the finish with the torch was just inspiring. Really knocked this one outta the park. If I had a hat, I'd take it off to you.
Quote, "I saved this gnarly piece of Beech from a firewood pile.. I didn't really have a plan" Yep, as soon as I read that I knew what was coming up, it looks great. Live edge and gnarly, I see a few good wood turners on TH-cam produce this kind of art and have to remind myself in the greater world of woodwork they are quite rare. Such a lovely piece Andy, thanks for sharing 👍
Hey, it's the ol' 10 cents worth of firewood turned into a $100,000 vessel trick! Really nice piece, Andy! Great vision, great imagination, great tool control, great finish! Great video, enjoyed watching! Phil
You make it look so easy, but it must be some amazing craftsmanship to get an even thickness and smooth curve in spite of having to work with such jagged edges.
What a wonderful vessel! It is always amazing to see such a piece of wood becomming a piece of art! The Resininlays looks awesome. Greetings from Germany.
Hi Andy, always amazed at your ability to see shapes and possibilities from the most unusual lumps of wood, the tree-root from the reservoir in particular. When you finished hollowing I thought "thats nice", shame about the bit of live edge that got tore off, then you mount the piece vertically on that contraption on the lathe (what was it - never seen that before) and then you tidy up the edges and apply a flame to even up the colour and effect. Brilliant idea and produced a stunning piece. You've certainly taught me to look a lot more closely at my scrap wood pile to look for possibilities and to just see what you end up with. Great video.
Sorry, had to water the dogs...now back to ur beautiful work thank u sir...I have quite an assortment of exotic woods, i e. Gaboon ebony, African black wood, Purple Heart, pink ivory, holly, zebra wood, leopard and lace wood...if I had ur talent ...what a collection I could share!
To the 7 ppl who hit the dislike button....it troubles me to think of what you scallywags consider to be a likable video. You must be completely void of any artistic inclinations . Andy....another great little vessel. Thanks for sharing
What the heck?! Never would I have expected the exquisite end product--but, silly me, you amaze me every time so why should this be different? Excellent work!
Firewood! Colored epoxy! Fire! Prolly don't need to tell you I liked this one :-D I'd love to have you in my shop, Andy. Give you a pile of 20-24 inch logs, stumps & crotches, the sparker for my various propane torches, introduce you to my sandblasting cabinet, and point out the cabinets where my pressure pot/vacuum chamber, power carving, piercing and airbrush gear live... Then show you how to forge out some Russian lathe knives and hook tools (I spent some time binging on vids of crazy [and crazy skilled] Russian turners and *had* to make these tools for myself). Ah, will never happen -- but fun thought. Clyde
It’s really cool how early on the rotation was synced with the camera frame rate but even just the slightest cut depressed the rpm juuust enough that the piece started spinning to the camera
Also interesting to see how when he starts scraping, it 'appears' to start rotating backwards, showing that the scraper is actually affecting the RPM :)
Superb, brought an old lump back to life. Some good techniques and first time I've seen a 1" M33(?) chuck adaptor for the banjo. Very useful piece of kit for doing some art work and/or carving.
When the frames of video equal to the spins of the wood, the wood becomes stable. That's very interesting scene. Good job. Thank you.
Finally someone that understands how to use the hot iron without starting a fire. Nice work Andy..
You truly open up my imagination as I look around at all the wood around me just waiting to be reborn. It is easy to be self limiting. Thank you.
I love your 'self-limiting' comment!! The comment really has a LOT of significance!!

I love the illusion of you turning and sanding in mid air. Yet again, Gorgeous project!
Hi Andy, this is a truly beautiful piece. The green resin adds that hint of colour. I have to say, I love to see a manual worker with beautifully clean hands, and especially clean nails. Your hands are real gentleman’s hands. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us. Xxx
Thanks Elaine ... My hands are battered but I am a bit of a clean freak ..I vac my shop every night .. is that weird lol ..
The result is unexpectedly beautiful. Good use of tools. Elegant little bowl. Was surprised by the flamed edging.
You sure do some beautiful work, Andy Phillip! I really enjoy watching you take a hunk of wood and turn it into a work of art. Thank you.
Thanks Max
The wood you work with is always so interesting. The patterns, ware, colours even the flaws that you manage to make into something fascinating to behold. Lovely...
Thankyou
В отличии от прочих блогерствующих мастеров данной направленности у Энди минимум слов, максимум дела. Всё очень просто, понятно и КРАСИВО!
Andy all your work is beautiful...God bless you and continue to create art.
Wish I could afford one of these creations. I love the rough edged bowls and the way he enhances the natural grains. Truly magnificent.
Thank you! As a divorced father this give my son and I something to bond over. Not video games or TV! He wants to start turning wood himself!
Each time I watch these wood turning vids, I want more and more to have a little shop and a lathe to do this kind of thing.
Wow, that is beautiful! It’s amazing what treasures can be found in a piece of wood. You are an artist. Thanks for sharing.
Once you had your way with the piece of Beech firewood, the finished product created more aesthetic warmth than it would have created physically when burning in a fire. And, of course, it’s still warming hearts whilst the firewood would have turned to ash. Bravo Andy!
Something very satisfying about watching you turn these pieces of wood into works of art. Amazing work!
This is absolutely extraordinary! Another beautiful work of art!!
Cheers
Wow Andy another exquisite piece.im amazed how you see the beauty in what is an ugly old bit of wood.all the best John.
Thanks john
Very nicely turned Andy. Pretty much providing evidence there is something of beauty in any and every piece of wood!
Thanks William
That is lovely! The Beech tree got to live on in part as artwork. Your artistic vision is good.
That is really pretty. Once again a masterpiece. I really like the torch edge on it. Beautiful!
Another one of your masterpieces, stopped the turning at exactly the right time.
Thanks Paul
Beautiful piece. You showed great creativity in your workmanship, Andy.
You are happy person. Your creativity pleases both your and our hearts.
WOW Andi....that turned out really pretty!!
Again nice work Mr Phillip. Lovely touch with the epoxy. Nice wee gadget you have for holding the chuck.
Thanks Nigel
What transformation from a dodgy log to a beautiful vessel. Absolutely gorgeous. Love the way you filled the cracks with the green resin. 😀 ❤️ it

Thanks Phil 👍
As usual you looked into a lump of wood and said to it let me show the world your beauty... Thank you!!
The spruce green is beautiful along with the torched edge on the vessel. The grain just pops with oil finish. Another wonderful piece Andy!!!
I like what appears from your projects from pieces of wood i wouldn't look twice at Andy. i need to have more vision i think lol cheers m8 Ross
Thanks Ross
Amazing new video Andy!!! Thanks so much for posting it. This piece is very intriguing.
Thanks Wade
You are a true artist!! Greetings from belgium
Another beautiful vase, keep up the good work.
You make it look so easy, but it must be some amazing craftsmanship to get an even thickness and smooth curve in spite of having to work with such jagged edges.
Another top job Andy i am glad that it didn't get burnt thank you for sharing 👍
Thanks Peter
No that sir, is a beauty. Love the way you made the broken bit look natural. Gonna have to try that. Thanks for sharing.
Practical use of resin, fantastic result. You have a great eye, nice job! Bruce from Stonecroft, Longford Mills, ON, Canada
Now that is nice. It’s so organic and natural looking. I love it.
Such a beautiful piece of art! Live edge are my favorite. Great job!
Witam i pozdrawiam!Duża wiedza z obróbki drewna,wysoki kunszt rzemiesliczy po prostu majstersztyk,dobry pokaz filmu,tak trzymać!!

Great result Andy and a joy to watch, cheers
Mr Andy and his magical hands! Great work as always!
What a wonderful vessel! It is always amazing to see such a piece of wood becomming a piece of art! The Resininlays looks awesome. Greetings from Germany.
This was not an easy turn. The dude is a master.
Great achievement Andy. You make it look so easy. Very impressive project. Thanks for sharing. Regards, David, Brisbane Australia
Well Andy that's just fantastic. I love what you did with the edge and the epoxy sets it off brilliantly.
Thanks Turbo
Splendid job! Enjoying watching it again and again.

Thanks .. its called a carving jig ..great to hold the piece in different positions ..
Wow! That is a piece of art. Thanks for posting the video. It was Awesome to watch...
Looks a lot like a tulip flower shape. A lovely evolutionary design.
Thanks James
Enjoyed the “live edge” improvement techniques. Good job keeping and featuring the interesting parts of the wood. 👍🏻
You sir, have one CREATIVE mind !!!
Thank you Andy for another inspiring turning. 😎🤟
Sorry, had to water the dogs...now back to ur beautiful work thank u sir...I have quite an assortment of exotic woods, i e. Gaboon ebony, African black wood, Purple Heart, pink ivory, holly, zebra wood, leopard and lace wood...if I had ur talent ...what a collection I could share!
Andy this is a stunning bowl everything about it is awesome. Wow!!!
Thanks Kobie
As always Andy, fantastic job, love the new creation.
Beautiful Andy. Enjoyed watching you work as usual.
Thanks Pamela
That's beautiful. You make wood sing.
Your camera angles are fantastic. Looks almost like you are using a fish-eyed lens. And the final product is my new favorite. Well done!
So unique and beautiful. Great work, Andy =)
1:31 Fun with frame rates.
Beauty from junk, as only an artisan can! Nice piece Andy.
It's hard to believe that was almost firewood. Wow! 😊
To the 7 ppl who hit the dislike button....it troubles me to think of what you scallywags consider to be a likable video. You must be completely void of any artistic inclinations . Andy....another great little vessel. Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much 👍
That was way awesome 😎 to watch !!! Another great video !!!
Thankyou
Beautifully done, Andy. I love the randomness of the edge.

Always a great video from you Andy... Really enjoyed this one. Lovely piece!
Thankyou
Nice work, Andy. Turned out great.
It’s really cool how early on the rotation was synced with the camera frame rate but even just the slightest cut depressed the rpm juuust enough that the piece started spinning to the camera
Этак этот мастер из всех пеньков красоту сделает ! ГУД !
Fantastic. Your ideas are just amazing.
Thanks Gerald
Beautiful,. Beautiful work Andy
Beautiful job, the Osmo oil finish is lovely
Thanks Leona
When the rotation speed of the wood and the frame rate of the camera match and it appears to be not rotating, that looks pretty cool.
Shanghaimartin I was thinking the same thing! Then started thinking about calculating lathe rpms, frame rate and speed increase to accomplish that.
Also interesting to see how when he starts scraping, it 'appears' to start rotating backwards, showing that the scraper is actually affecting the RPM :)
Very true! I have had a GoPro on a fat bike with the tire in view and it looked like it spun backwards the whole time.
And magic happening around 2:31 when the scraper seems to touch nothing, yet the form changes... whoooaaaa! 😯😲
Superb, brought an old lump back to life. Some good techniques and first time I've seen a 1" M33(?) chuck adaptor for the banjo. Very useful piece of kit for doing some art work and/or carving.
Thanks Ray
Andy, that was amazing! I really love your work. Keep it up. Cheers.
Great vessel Andy! Thank you for sharing the video with us.👌😎👍JP
Such wonderful colour and grain.
No plan is the best plan. Great work!
It's like a cracked open dragon's egg!!!😁❤
Love the chatoyance in this one. The faux live edge was brilliant.
As always you f I not disappoint. Beautiful.
Thanks Samantha
I like the way you burn the edges.
Amazing work, Andy!
Hello master

Beautiful! I like the burnt edge too.
