- Ropey (poor or unsatisfactory). [British, slang]
I saved this from my fire wood pile and I have a feeling it will be going back on there!!

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.
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's actually beautiful! Hubby would love it on his boat! The rope and wood knots just add to its maritime air.
That's a first for me and a cool idea, too! Looks great, Andy! 😊

Thanks Phil 👍
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!
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🌱
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
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.
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 remember that one! It was a blue rope if I recall correctly.
@@SuesOriginals YES!
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. 💖
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!
Damn that’s deep
It’s woodturning buddy, no need to go all sentimental on us 😏
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.
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!!!
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.
That is unique. Great job. Looks like tree grew around the rope. Great job
Thanks .. yes it did
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!
Now that was unique. Thanks, 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."
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.
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?😐
@@jenniehughes6927 Was a comment that he pinned in the comments, unless I read it wrong.
@@jenniehughes6927 it's in the video description.
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.
A Beautiful creation 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Don't burn it . Display it as "Nature Did KNOT Quit". Be safe
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.
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.
Absolutely wonderful - full of character and references to otherworldliness. Thank you.
Watching your work is always satisfing. I admire your skills and imagination.
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!
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.
Got to admit when I first seen it I thought yeah, okay but that turned out really nice well done great imagination and foresight

Your items always come out beautiful! So creative! Thanks for sharing your talent with the world!
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
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! 😍😊👍
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.
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’ll never get tired of watching your work!
Now isn't that beautiful!! Such a unique piece!
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.
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.
I think the rope gives it a unique character
Calling this eye-catching creation ONE OF A KIND is not an exaggeration! Well done, Andy.
I like it. It has a past, like we all do. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.
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
I think this deserves better than the wood pile, Mr Phillip. As an art piece, it’s lovely; as a metaphor, priceless.
The artist’s eye! Glad you saw this in the raw material!
I was wondering what you were going to do with the rope. You left it in place. Brilliant!
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! 👍
This takes “one of a kind” to a whole new level. Wow!
This bowl gets a like, a subscribe, and a comment. Phenomenal work.
That is so cool! I love how you worked with the rope instead of against it.
Amazing! The creative mind at play. What a beautiful bowl!
I Like it! "I may be tied up, but I have a big heart, with lots of room!" What a Cool bowl!
Finally something good, as it once was - with a lot of imagination and excellent performance 👍🏻🔝.
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!
This is so satisfying. No taking, just beautiful art ☺️
And to think someone tied that knot without realizing the beautiful work of art it would create.
WoW!!! This was not where I thought you were going with this one. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Great looking piece 👌👍
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.
For a while I was wondering when he was going to get rid of the rope. Almost to the finishing point it dawned on me.... You can only make this if someone tied a rope around a tree a long time ago. You cant pile up blocks of lumber, cut a groove for the rope, try to make it look fancy, and get the same effect. This changes grain and everything. Maybe people, like a business, are doing things to trees now for interesting wood later? I don't envision a piece like this is something you would come across often. A lumber mill may just cut that out and burn it, but as a woodworker it can be something exceptionally unique. Good Save.
Very interesting Andy and beautiful that would make an awesome center piece stay safe friend👍👍👍👍
Very unique piece,as always you bring out the heart of the bowl.you still have it,of course you never lost it.kudos 👍👍👍😎😎😎
I really like this, the way you left the rope in it really adds character to the piece.
I loved that you gave the frayed ends of the rope a shampoo and set!
Another stunning and brilliant work of art as always! I love the rope idea!
I can't believe you combed the rope!! 😂
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…
Nice work Andy, glad you coiffed the tassel, it looks so much better :-)
I'm glad I logged in for another Andy Phillip video. 🪵🪵🪵
I'm glad you left the rope, as the tree grew the rope became another but odd part of the tree. Awesome piece..❤️❤️❤️❤️
I like things if you make decorations at home, they're really pretty, they'll definitely get the family's attention
A remarkable piece of wood and sympathetically turned. A great result 👏
That’s a bowl with a story, I feel like it could write a novel based on its life. Nice piece.
Thanks
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.😁😁
You got me tied to the screen with this one Andy! Nice!
That's cool.Art by Nature..... Strangled Wood. Nice 👍
This is certainly an interesting piece. The rope gives it character.
Just amazing! This wood is gorgeous! I love this bowl. You sir are a genuine craftsman.
❤😎
This piece should not go back to the wood pile. It’s beautiful! I love the grain! Cheers Andy! 😊
Beautiful!!! Simply amazing!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Stunning just stunning awesome job Andy
Moonpie Creations is absolutely right! You are magic.
I'm so happy this exists.
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 :)
It looks a little like one of those Afghani mens hats . It’s just so interesting , and the grain is lovely
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.
Beautifully crafted!
this bowl is too beautiful for fire wood!
Someone, somewhere, forgot that a tree is a living thing. They carelessly allowed a temporal use of a limb to remain permanently in place. Forever scarring both the rope and the tree. Because at some point one couldn't be removed without damaging the other. Along comes a man of depth. A man that understands that some things should remain together forever.
Or maybe he just thought, it'd be cool if I could somehow cut the rope into the project.
I like this! Mixed media artwork. 👏❤
Lol, just imagined someone mass producing these. It'd be some pretty funny looking trees but that piece turned out beautiful. I'd love to have something like that for a fruit bowl.
VERY interesting! Let us know if it ends up back in the woodpile, or someone loves it enough to buy it:D
Turning circumstance into art….Andy and his strong arms (😍 🤭) rocks it again….💙🤎❤️
I love it. I was wondering how you were going to work the rope into it. It's perfect.
Piece of history! ✌🏼💫🪵
Всё замечательно! Особенно умилила причёска и стрижка )))
Creative indeed! Love this, rope is part of the wood and great you left it in.
Very great work as always ..Thanks for show this,,,,have a nice day,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Amazing work, Andy! Really beautiful piece! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
This is the first time I have seen a woodworking project that required the services of a barber.
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. 💜
