After all this time I never get bored watching your videos. You see something beautiful in everything. Then you bring it to us common folks and make it beautiful to us. What a talent
The moment I saw that damaged timber I knew we were in for a treat. Of all the things you make I really love the "seriously grotty chunk of wood undergoes dramatic beauty treatment" videos. It takes a connoisseur to see the promise in wood like that, and a master of his craft to fulfil it.
Watching your videos has taught me that each piece has an almost infinite number of possibilities for a beautiful outcome. The artistry comes in knowing how to judge just the right amount of material to remove; it's a moving target and you have to decide on the fly when to stop shaping. It's like jazz improvisation, only with wood and chisels.
This is the most unique piece amongst the hundreds of videos on wood turning I’ve watched for the last 10+ years. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 I’m speechless. Very unique piece!
Love it. Ugly wood is my favorite also. I am in awe of your control and skill with the external gouge and the hollowing tool. One thing I do with wood that is barely competent enough to support being a hollow form like this, is to bind it more firmly together on the inside of the hollow form using penetrating epoxy. Particularly when the wood is a bit punky or barky, you can easily get 1/16" and more penetration of the surface that hardens into much stronger layer supporting the piece from the inside. If the blank is particularly challenging, I will hollow well before final outside turning and finishing, and build up a significant hard epoxy layer inside before finish turning.
Prior to finding your channel, I was frequently having to buy new shirts. So many wood turning videos on TH-cam and I was struggling to watch someone else carve another vase or bowl I was vomiting constantly, ruining shirts, upsetting my wife and eventually had to replace shirts at Walmart. I am again enjoying wood turning videos and have begun again to get my shirts at higher quality stores. Thank you.
I think part of the burl section did partially detach. I was thinking you'd have cast it in resin. A nice small amount of transparent resin around the burl area to set it in place properly could have done the trick! It turned out well anyway! 😃
Been a subscriber for a long time. I really enjoy all of your videos, beautiful work, both the woodworking and the video production. Thank you. Would you mind posting a description of the hollowing tools you used in this video?
The Ugly duckling 'turns' into a Beautiful Swan. 😊. I have to admit, I look twice at firewood before it ends up in the fire. Quite a few pieces have been set aside.
all ways like you work and the skills you have try wood turning ones my self many years a go but the tool i was using ended getting suck in the celling ops LOL :)
Lovely vase Andy, Phil Anderson said you were worth watching and he was right, now subscribed. Do you ever put voice overs on, as it would be nice to hear which tool, which finish, what wood etc. Just the thought process behind the turning. I too like to rescue wood from the fire. At our local wood yard they discard and chuck on their fire small olive burls and root ends as they dont sell them for firewood (keep going out). I've had some really interesting stuff from them. Looking forward to your back catalogue and next video.
Thanks Colin .. I leave the talking videos to Phil .. I do put some info in the video description, and try to answer any questions I get in the comments..
There are some fantastic growth effects giving off a multitude of colours, mottles and swirls, you might not have achieved the total result you hoped for because of the way the wood had grown, but to stop when you did seems the best call from an aesthetic point of view.
Indeed, the defects ultimately provide the beauty...it's why factory furniture is so soulless, because they cull any interesting board with a defect. Thanks for doing traditional gouge work, I've run into too many, even known name, people hacking out shapes with carbide and it irrationally irritates me. 👍 Andy.

I was thinking the same thing

Nicely done Andy! Once again you prove that ducklings don't stay ugly for long. Thank you sir.

That's beautiful. I love it when you let the wood keep its character, instead of forcing it into a perfect shape.
The Decaying Vase is a good name for this piece. Good job. Keep up good work.
the ugly duckling became a beatiful swan.
This is the most unique piece amongst the hundreds of videos on wood turning I’ve watched for the last 10+ years. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 I’m speechless. Very unique piece!

Ugly wood us my favorite wood, pretty much perfectly sums up my own philosophy. Good show!
Yeah I started to realize that too. But I definitely need to be more careful, but it's a good learning experience.😅
the color and grain are really lovely. it is a beautiful piece
You never disappoint sir always beautiful work.
I love that stepped drill bit idea! I'm going to give it a go :)
A whole new take on "one man's trash"... That's amazing, unique and very beautiful! Thank you for sharing Andy!❤
So true. I've said the same thing about many, many of his projects.
What a beautiful vase Andy! ❤❤❤❤
Great work love the wood beast to beauty 🎉❤
This one made me a bit nervous, but you ended up in perfect shape, of course! Another beauty!
Wow, what a beautiful piece. 😊
Just beautiful Andy. You never disappoint 🇺🇸👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Thank you very much!
Beautiful, Andy! Really amazing work!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Beautiful
Magnificent, an object of beauty that is only in this world because of your creativity and skill. ❤
I'm glad I logged in for another Andy Phillip video. 🪵
That is pretty beyond belief! ❤
Really beautiful! Honestly, I expected it to cut through in some places or not stay all connected. What a marvel!
It may be ugly wood to begin with, Andy, but your magic touch transforms it to an object of exquisite beauty. 👍
The precision of your hand is amazing! Keep up the great work!
You get some of the coolest wood to work with. Beautiful piece!
Love the marbling in this piece. You've worked wonders with that Medusa-lookin piece of wood!
Andy Phillip, the Mikey of wood turning! Great work Andy!

🤣🤮👍
So beautiful! I will admit....I was hoping it wouldn't detonate while turning. It proves you are a true master at your craft! J.W. in Massachusetts.
Thank you very much!

Beautiful, Andy. I'm glad no resin was involved with this one.
Bill
Yes, Bill, it surprised me
This piece sure has some character! Nice😊

Hi Andy! From firewood to fantastic work 👌. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹.
That's a really interesting Burl, maybe you should name it Milton.
That could be a pretty cool base for a lamp perhaps.
As usual, beautiful work!
Only you Andy could take a lump of ugly wood and give us something so beautiful!!! Love your work.
Thanks 👍
Wonderful! Love to see these interesting shapes in the wood...

Thanks 👍 I use hollowing tools by Simon Hope woodturning
So different, and so cool. Some of the wood grain patterns looks like the surface of another planet.
Always a good day when Andy puts another lathe vid up
Love it!
Andy, I love that you can take a very ugly piece of wood and turn it into a work of art, absolutely beautiful natural edge vase.
Wow, just wow! That is amazing wood!
The Ugly duckling 'turns' into a Beautiful Swan. 😊. I have to admit, I look twice at firewood before it ends up in the fire. Quite a few pieces have been set aside.
Another beautiful creation!
Bringing out the inner beauty.

Very enjoyable video. Also a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing. See you on the next one
Wonderful.
So nice to see wood used this way and not all gooped up with resin. Great piece.
Thank you very much!
so beautiful!!
Thank you!!

Gorgeous vase! All without epoxy/resin enhancement. See? It still can be done.
Nice 👍💪✌
That is absolutely one beautiful piece of work. Love the curve, it looks like it ought to ripple when you move it.
Спасибо за видео!!! Класс!!! 👍👍👍
Vision and craft
WOW!!!
Your right that was an ugly piece of wood, but... You brought out it's beauty...❤❤❤❤
Interesting to see a project like this being completed without a resin pour to secure the burl. Good job.
