That's totally unique. Surprising that the colour of the rope is still bright even though it had clearly been there for years. Interesting too that it is a very similar colour to one of your favourite resins that compliments the natural colours of polished wood. A successful experiment and to judge by the reactions here a very saleable piece.
Marine rope is tough stuff. We had a bull dog that would destroy every toy we ever gave it. Made a "Dog Bone" out of marine rope and it lasted forever.
Watching wood turning is my happy place. I love the sounds of the wood as it is slowly scraped away, and then the patterns you create with each layer you remove. Then the magic happens when, after all the shaping and sanding, the sealer is applied which reveals the grain, inclusions and shine. I was so relaxed and really enjoyed the process. Then you went and combed out the 'poof' and gave it a haircut. I nearly fell off my chair laughing. What a rush. Cool job, Andy. LOL!!!
This reminded me of a Banyan tree I lived with for years. One day I had a small melted antique bottle in my hand. I didn't know where to put it so I put it into a nook in the tree. Banyan trees have stringy vines that hang down to the ground, eventually becoming extensions of the tree, sometimes resembling flying buttresses.They can grow big enough to walk through. Old waterspouts, doornobs,shells, ceramic pottery, sea glass and any old thing I didn't have a place for went into the tree. I left that house and the tree 5 years ago. Occasionally I think about my little tchotchkes incorporated into the living tree. AND...I love your work. TY🌱
That turned out really cute! I love the originality and that you let the wood grain tell its own story. Even with your simplest pieces you don’t disappoint!
I am a landlubber, but even I can see that it has a nautical vibe. Someone will add the piece as a lovely addition to their boat/yacht decor. It looks great!
I bet the person who tied that rope around the tree never would have expected such a beautiful turned piece being the result. Nicely done Andy. Take care my friend and enjoy the trekking. Keep those scenic pictures coming Cheers Harold
Where have I been? Perhaps it's due to the shape, but this is the first time I've heard music from the wood. Masterful! Thank you for sharing your skill with us, Andy. 💖
Now _this_ is art. You took something unfortunate and ugly and made it beautiful in a totally unexpected way, where others would have either removed the rope or scrapped the piece entirely. You never cease to impress, Andy.
You have a great eye for what is possible and I noticed how the design changed as you saw what the wood had to offer. I enjoy watching you work and your results are always first rate. I had to giggle when you "trimmed it's tail."
That was amazing Andy. That rope was ties around that wood for a very long time because of the way the wood grew over part of that rope. I really liked this one as usual.
I really like this piece. One of my favorite things about watching your channel is seeing the story of each piece of wood revealed. The shape of each ring inside, This piece tells a story about how the outside was formed.
I feel like there is a life lesson with this. That even being constrained by challenges in life, we can still continue to grow and be beautiful despite those challenges. They become a part of who we are. Please don't put it back in the fire pile!
While metaphorically correct, I can tell you this shit is absolutely the failing point of a living tree, sure it might go years beyond the choke. A swift wind will be it's undoing
Wabi Sabi: A traditional Japanese esthetic of accepting transience and imperfection. An artistic manifestation of this is Kintsugi. The Japanese art of tastefully repairing broken pottery, but rather than trying to hide the flaws and breaks, you highlight them. And in doing so, the piece becomes more beautiful than it originally was.
What a lovely piece! I'm really impressed at the way you worked with the interesting shape that the rope caused. Also, thanks for teaching me a British slang term I hadn't heard!
Pretty cool bowl from the firewood scraps. Would definitely have that on the shelf at a beach house or lake house. Very nice, unique work from something you could never really plan for.
Great job of using what you were given. Finding a tree, or log, with a rope embedded is pretty unusual. That you used that to turn this conversation piece is pretty special. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Awww….I just assumed it was part of a tire swing at one time. I really thought there was a mushy story attached to it. There’s another woodturner who did take his childhood tire swing log and made a vessel out of it (without the rope). Had the rope impression in the wood and everything. Was so cool to know he made something from a childhood memory.
I can't help feeling more about this piece than usual. The rope has its own beauty and is an important part of this tree's story. But I also hope this wood will survive long enough that one day the rope comes off and it is free of its chokehold.
Who but Andy would think to make a feature out of piece of old rope tied for years round a tree. Unique, and strangely beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Btw, loved the hairstyling bit at the end.
Now That gives new meaning to "Knot" That is an awesome conversation piece. Love it. The grain is so beautiful. What kind of wood is it? Poor tree had that tightly tied around it for many years huh? I hope it does not go back on the firewood pile, would be a shame. Thanks for sharing. 💜😊💜🇺🇸
You made a beauty product. We enjoyed seeing you. If you did the design on the exterior surfaces, it would be a great effect, but your product is still beautiful. good luck.
Arborists have been trying for decades, to teach people how not to girdle their trees, and here you are making art out of it......thanx a lot Andy! lol
No don't put it back! I think this is a fine testament to the resilience of nature and the beauty of the very essence of a tree. Just my opinion of course but I'd back that opinion up with a purchase if I lived in the UK :) I like it!
As always, great job! Until the very end I was wondering - will you take off the rope or not?! By the way, a very strong rope! Not a bad advertisement for its manufacturer! Only yesterday I saw a tree in the forest near the house, into which the wire had grown, and I also thought that if the wire was removed, there would be an interesting pattern on the wood.
First, 'Congratulations on the move! And I really like this, Andy. In the end, it looks like a huge chicken pot pie that someone ate the center & didn't care for the crust. 👏👏👏👏👏
I think this is really quirky and most definitely not firewood anymore. I think I would have removed the blue rope, if possible, and used a more natural colour instead. But I still like it...very cleverly done! 👍
How unique! I thought you would cut it away but it looks so cool how you left it. I cut down a tree that a vine had caused a similar effect now im wishing I had kept it.
That's actually beautiful! Hubby would love it on his boat! The rope and wood knots just add to its maritime air.

Tell ya what kid, if this woodworking thing doesn't pan out you've got a great career ahead of you as a barber.
I’m a barber and I find this comment hilarious 😂
Does the haircut include getting spun around rapidly like you're on a pottery wheel? :D

That is one of the most unique pieces I have ever seen, and definitely never seen anything like it. You are amazing as always! Take care.

Andy, you'll never cease to amaze me with your talent. You rescued that old log, and turned it into something truly Amazing. Love your work.
That's a first for me and a cool idea, too! Looks great, Andy! 😊

Thanks Phil 👍
Absolutely wonderful - full of character and references to otherworldliness. Thank you.

Now isn't that beautiful!! Such a unique piece!
Your items always come out beautiful! So creative! Thanks for sharing your talent with the world!
That is unique. Great job. Looks like tree grew around the rope. Great job
Thanks .. yes it did
Pretty cool bowl from the firewood scraps. Would definitely have that on the shelf at a beach house or lake house. Very nice, unique work from something you could never really plan for.

Love it. Really cool piece. Wasn't sure about the rope until i seen the final finish. What an amazing and interesting piece. Nice job bro.

I remember that one! It was a blue rope if I recall correctly.
@@SuesOriginals YES!
Now that was unique. Thanks, Andy.
I really like this, the way you left the rope in it really adds character to the piece.
That old rope gave a lot of kids a good time swinging under the branch it was attached to! Now it's a conversation piece! 😍😊👍
Very unique piece,as always you bring out the heart of the bowl.you still have it,of course you never lost it.kudos 👍👍👍😎😎😎
A Beautiful creation 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Don't burn it . Display it as "Nature Did KNOT Quit". Be safe
This takes “one of a kind” to a whole new level. Wow!
I think this deserves better than the wood pile, Mr Phillip. As an art piece, it’s lovely; as a metaphor, priceless.
Amazing! The creative mind at play. What a beautiful bowl!
This machine is amazing, it allows you to create beautiful artwork and it's so dangerous it could literally kill you if used incorrectly, just amazing
Calling this eye-catching creation ONE OF A KIND is not an exaggeration! Well done, Andy.
Love ur master-pieces…it is with gr8 enjoyment, watching a master at they’re craft. I am trying my hand at it….take care n bless u n ur family…
The artist’s eye! Glad you saw this in the raw material!
Just amazing! This wood is gorgeous! I love this bowl. You sir are a genuine craftsman.
❤😎
I like it. It has a past, like we all do. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.
I can't help feeling more about this piece than usual. The rope has its own beauty and is an important part of this tree's story. But I also hope this wood will survive long enough that one day the rope comes off and it is free of its chokehold.
A remarkable piece of wood and sympathetically turned. A great result 👏

Another stunning and brilliant work of art as always! I love the rope idea!
This is so satisfying. No taking, just beautiful art ☺️
Got to admit when I first seen it I thought yeah, okay but that turned out really nice well done great imagination and foresight
That is so cool! I love how you worked with the rope instead of against it.
Now That gives new meaning to "Knot" That is an awesome conversation piece. Love it. The grain is so beautiful. What kind of wood is it? Poor tree had that tightly tied around it for many years huh? I hope it does not go back on the firewood pile, would be a shame. Thanks for sharing. 💜😊💜🇺🇸
Why would it go back on the firewood pile?😐

And to think someone tied that knot without realizing the beautiful work of art it would create.
Finally something good, as it once was - with a lot of imagination and excellent performance 👍🏻🔝.
WoW!!! This was not where I thought you were going with this one. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I was wondering what you were going to do with the rope. You left it in place. Brilliant!
You made a beauty product. We enjoyed seeing you. If you did the design on the exterior surfaces, it would be a great effect, but your product is still beautiful. good luck.
Stunning just stunning awesome job Andy
Arborists have been trying for decades, to teach people how not to girdle their trees, and here you are making art out of it......thanx a lot Andy! lol
Nice work Andy, glad you coiffed the tassel, it looks so much better :-)
I like it, it's very unique.😘😘 the rope doesn't look trashy, you gave it a hair cut and combed it.thanks for sharing.😁😁
Great looking piece 👌👍
I'm glad you left the rope, as the tree grew the rope became another but odd part of the tree. Awesome piece..❤️❤️❤️❤️
I loved that you gave the frayed ends of the rope a shampoo and set!
Very interesting Andy and beautiful that would make an awesome center piece stay safe friend👍👍👍👍
Creative indeed! Love this, rope is part of the wood and great you left it in.
I Like it! "I may be tied up, but I have a big heart, with lots of room!" What a Cool bowl!
Beautiful!!! Simply amazing!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This piece should not go back to the wood pile. It’s beautiful! I love the grain! Cheers Andy! 😊
You got me tied to the screen with this one Andy! Nice!
That's cool.Art by Nature..... Strangled Wood. Nice 👍
I'm so happy this exists.
Piece of history! ✌🏼💫🪵
I like things if you make decorations at home, they're really pretty, they'll definitely get the family's attention
Beautifully crafted!

I'm glad I logged in for another Andy Phillip video. 🪵🪵🪵
this bowl is too beautiful for fire wood!
This bowl gets a like, a subscribe, and a comment. Phenomenal work.
So beautiful! Great job. Such an odd piece of wood turned into a gorgeous bowl! Fantastic!
Turning circumstance into art….Andy and his strong arms (😍 🤭) rocks it again….💙🤎❤️
This is certainly an interesting piece. The rope gives it character.
The camera angle at @1:51 is so cool! Because I can really see what you're shaving away with each stroke. Would love to see that more :)
Moonpie Creations is absolutely right! You are magic.
First, 'Congratulations on the move! And I really like this, Andy. In the end, it looks like a huge chicken pot pie that someone ate the center & didn't care for the crust.

I love it. I was wondering how you were going to work the rope into it. It's perfect.
I think this is really quirky and most definitely not firewood anymore. I think I would have removed the blue rope, if possible, and used a more natural colour instead. But I still like it...very cleverly done! 👍
Morning Andy ☕😊
I can't believe you combed the rope!! 😂
That's a really cool 😎 bowl! I've never seen anything like it & it's just beautiful 😍
Well, now that is one unique piece of work for you, Andy. It did end up looking cool andfor being a piece of firewood, it's neat. 💜
Оригинально!👍 И необычно! 👍Впервые вижу, чтобы посуде делали причёску! 😁
How unique! I thought you would cut it away but it looks so cool how you left it. I cut down a tree that a vine had caused a similar effect now im wishing I had kept it.
I like this! Mixed media artwork. 👏❤
It looks a little like one of those Afghani mens hats . It’s just so interesting , and the grain is lovely
Stunning piece mate!
That’s a bowl with a story, I feel like it could write a novel based on its life. Nice piece.
Thanks
What a cool piece! 👍
Gorgeous piece
