Woodturning - A Large Piece of Yew !! (no mid roll ads)

[@nargilblue]

Love the optical illusions where it looks like your chisel isn't even touching but there's still all the chips flying off. It came out gorgeous

[@NothingByHalves]

I could stare at the grain and the chatoyance of this piece for hours at a time - you've really brought a beautiful Yew log to life.

[@NothingByHalves]

@Yoda _ 😂😂😂 I know.. I had to look up how to spell it, after hearing it multiple times on the Sprague Woodturning channel and eventually understanding what it meant. 😂😂

[@jeremycoleman318]

Your full of chatoyance…stare at me in my chatoyance aka cats eye. 🤪

[@jeremycoleman318]

Isn’t that one of Michael's sisters…Chatoyance Jackson.

[@NothingByHalves]

@@jeremycoleman318 😂😂😂😂

[@xdoctorblindx]

You should look up "chatoyance" again, because there is almost none of it in this piece. That's just wood colouring and grain lines. Chatoyance typically presents itself as "flaming" or "quilting."

I just came back from a horrible day at the university where I collapsed out of exhaustion and pain. The first thing I did coming back home was grab a popsicle and put on this video. Please understand, you bring me so much peace. Thank you for your beautiful work. It’s meditative and mesmerizing, it helps me forget about my burning throat from vomiting and the pain of my illness. ❤

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks .. I'm glad you find the videos helpful

[@RealityInk]

Interesting. very 60s. Reminds me of stuff I used to see on suburban coffee tables when I was a kid.

[@suspiciousplatypusmoth]

I’m so happy yew (ha- I’ll see myself out) kept the gorgeous organic edge. The grain is beautiful and this piece turned out incredible! Plus, the didgeridoo-esque noise at 9:37 is probably a bit funnier to me than it should be lmao

[@WaiferThyme]

What an absolutly STUNNING charcuterie board! The colours of the wood, the rings and the live edge! Its perfect!

[@Bobba_raekus]

You've got the patience of a saint and an attention to detail that is all too rare in the age of mass-produced garbage. It's nice to see how some of the techniques you've developed while making these videos have become second nature at this point. Please keep on turning, I never miss a project.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thankyou

[@dietmarventzke5327]

It’s just …beautiful.

[@barbieb1386]

The grain is mesmerizing...........beautiful

[@charles.e.g.]

Absolutely exquisite. ❤

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

One of the most beautiful pieces of wood before you even started! So many patterns and colours. It sort of reminded me of some of the huge fungi that grow out of trees given its natural shape. That's not meant in any way as an insult! You brought out both shape and colours beautifully ❤

[@samanthadean1083]

So raw, so natural!!! I love it!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@philvie]

Had my doubts when you first spun the piece but you pulled it off, lots of skill involved with this one, well done sir.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thankyou Phil

[@kevdimo6459]

The final finishing coat transformed this beautiful piece into a 3 dimensional work of art!

[@vinimarshall7301]

And again yew made made another beautiful piece 👏👏👏

[@Meagain921]

Absolutely breathtaking. The spirit of the tree is grateful for your skill and artistry.

[@tsworld9183]

I must say I got really upset when I saw you with that chainsaw ha king off those, what I call tentacles, I was telling myself he can't do that to such a beautiful piece of wood. Then I wiped my tears and said give him a minute and see what he does with it, I shouldn't have doubted you to know how to bring out more beauty that's already there... Wow that was a tense one... Great job.. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

This is beautiful! I love the curve and all the colors in the wood

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Jonas 👍

[@lyndaowen2154]

That wood is absolutely beautiful. I’m glad you kept it as a simple shallow bowl letting the beauty of that wood just shine .

[@feeberizer]

Your hands and arms must be really strong because cutting into those wavy edges looked brutal. It turned out gorgeous.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thankyou 💪😁

[@deangustafson7533]

I was fortunate to purchase this piece from Andy Phillip. The pictures don’t do it justice. The shape, colors and finish of this Yew wood are exceptional. Thank you so much!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks so much.. glad you like it 👍

[@ChrisSmith-yq9pr]

Wow Andy! You turned this incredible piece of wood into a magnificent work of art! Bravo Maestro Bravo!!

[@dtork47]

Very nicely done piece of Yew, outstanding once again.

[@kristineblack7041]

What a truly stunning piece - from the overall shape to the beautiful showing off of the grains throughout. The spinning force of this piece must have been incredible! Thanks for sharing your work - its so fun to watch.

[@noahcount7132]

Oh, my, Andy. That piece is sooooo incredibly beautiful! Were it mine, I'd hang it on a wall for maximum visual effect. 👍

[@pnwgrown_360]

I got some yew that I’m excited to turn

[@petershipman7314]

Gorgeous piece of yew ,stunning ❤

[@HuhHowboutThat]

Oh WOW! Another stunner! 💙💢💙💢💙💢💙💢💙

[@garycarpenter2932]

wow, just wow. i have to say you have been quite the inspiration for me this past year. long story short, i had to close my business of remodeling homes due to surgeries. 16 now. i finally got a lathe for the small shop i built in the yard. was told i couldn't work at all anymore. bah, i can, do and will continue. just watching what you do, has opened new horizons. thanks.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks.. glad the videos have been a help .. I actually got back into turning after having spinal surgery and was unable to work for a year ... stay positive 👍

[@36marty]

Andy that was a MASSIVE piece of timber. I didn't know you could turn a chunk that big, yet alone slide the lathe all the way to the end. Fantastic piece of artwork man!!! Love your work.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thankyou

[@andreweastwood862]

Wow; a smashing piece of turning. Excellent

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thankyou 👍

[@1954JDR]

That is absolutely beautiful.

[@missharry5727]

Stunning piece of wood - that must have been an ancient yew. Not just the size, weight and shape but the hardness of yew as well. You can always see the potential in a piece of wood and tailor the approach to fit. Nothing remotely like any of the gatepost series because there is nothing like this convoluted piece. I hope it was as much fun to produce as it was to watch.

[@teresatruman2976]

As usual, a beautiful piece of art. Thank you for sharing your skill with us. 💖

[@johnandrews6288]

Beautiful work, a gorgeous piece.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@frankierzucekjr]

I like this one. It reminds me of the clocks we all had growing up in the 80s and 90s lol. Beautiful work

[@m3rrys0ngstr3ss]

Oh what a beauty! I'm so glad you could preserve most of that edge.

[@rickharem5788]

What a great job bringing out the natural beauty of the wood for all of us to enjoy. That was a home run. Thank you.

[@tracyweatherly9185]

I absolutely love watching this! I find it so fascinating that when you really speed it up, it looks like slow mo. Your hand looks like it is moving normal and it doesn't even look like you are touching the wood.

[@shawnataylor7998]

Oh my goodness.... that's the most beautiful bowl that I've ever seen...it just speaks to me.. thanks for sharing.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Shawna 👍

[@dougthatcher3521]

The result is almost spiritual. Depth of beauty, with a bright spirit.

[@onetruesmugs]

It's a beautiful piece of wood, Andy, so I can totally see why you fancied tackling it, but my word that looked tough! Great end piece though, spectacular.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks... it was a tough one

[@MsBee777]

I love the unique shape and all the detail in the wood, she's exquisite !

[@marilynhoeth4696]

I do not have the words to express the beauty of this piece. Magnificent!

[@Sebastopolmark]

That's an insane piece. The shallow dish was the perfect selection for this project and it came out GREAT! !! !!! Thanks Andy

[@JimOMoore]

Show-off! 😀 That turned out beautifully. The colours and shapes of those growth rings look amazing.

[@TheRavnKnight]

that is a awesome piece ... beautiful

[@benzamg32m68]

Wow that was surreal to watch. It looked like the wood was spinning but not spinning almost frozen at moments, then reversing while spinning all at the same time! Very unique piece, amazing job 👏 (And no...i haven't been drinking ha ha )

[@tyn999]

It was a good idea to make a shallow bowl. It looks like a splash! I loved!

[@rubbercrutch1]

This is absolute mastery. Beautiful work!

[@chrisggoodwin777]

That's some fantastic grain pattern and a great finished piece! I may need a slab of that for a top layer of a bass guitar...

[@msa4548]

I'd have it as a centerpiece on either a dining room table or coffee table in a great room.

[@arabellachampaq689]

Thank you for this

[@kima091]

Wow.....just wow!!! That piece made you work hard but what a beautiful result!!

[@dr.p3637]

Hi Andy, incredible artistry. You are very unique in your approach to very unusual pieces of mother nature. I am sitting here with a torn, Achilles tendon, on my sofa, watching video after video of yours, and it gives me great happiness, and somehow eases my pain buddy. God bless you!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Many thanks

[@blackhorse2947]

i’m sitting in my recliner watching as well with my right torn Achilles. Almost at the end of my 3rd week and boring. I had my left done a couple of years ago…..so I know the routine. Speedy recovery my friend

[@BexnRN]

Stunning.

[@Lynn.Lawson]

That was unique and beautiful! You definitely did that Yew log justice. Well done! 👏❤

[@lorrem2539]

love it!

[@ggreene245]

That gave a bit of anxiety at first... What a special piece. Absolutely beautiful.

[@David1111111Pace]

Simply stunning. More a work of art than woodworking/turning. Yet another hit from AP.

[@MrJohnnyboyrebel]

You make the scariest things look easy! Bravery at its finest. Skills beyond mere mortals. Exquisite work.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@1945jude]

Now that’s what I call a brilliant result!

[@adhambarbour]

Now I could be wrong, but I think this is the first time you've had to use an extension on the lathe? The piece was beautiful, these are always the highlight of my evening.❤

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Adham .. I think this is only the second time I've videod using it 👍

[@lornacy]

I would want to put this on a glass table to be able to see both the top and bottom.

[@beverlylumley4150]

Fantastic stunning piece of art.

[@sikari72kukur]

Fascinating. Interesting to watch how you balance the piece at the beginning. The deliberation is well captured. Great edutainment in the spirit of Bob Ross.

[@kinpatsu6366]

A Herculean effort! 👏👏 Congratulations King Charles!

[@stevenattaway]

Your videos now have me spotting wood laying around and going, "OMG, I would love to turn that.". The only problem, I don't even have a lathe.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

😂

[@gemofthewoods5802]

Steven attaway- maybe join a woodworking club and try someone else's lathe. You're already addicted, so this is the next step for you 😆

[@Fatgerman]

It's amazing your lathe has any bearings left :D The way you work in sympathy with the wood is beautiful to watch, and the final piece is a work of art. I could look at that grain for hours.

[@chandarussell]

Now that is just beautiful. Simply beautiful.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I've already used the word "exquisite" today so we will keep it simple with fantabuloso! Man, that was a challenge and I could feel every thump, thump, thump with you, Andy. Great job! 😃 Phil

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Phil... 😂 thump thump thump is all I can here .. 250rpm to start !! I really need a concrete floor 😫

[@paintcandan5972]

one of the coolest pieces of wood i’ve ever seen. i haven’t seen many so that’s not saying much but still, it looks incredible. the shape, figuring, the color, it’s like mother natures version of abstract art. awesome job bringing it alive 👍

[@pickletreewoodcraft7858]

Just incredible the colors and shape all of it! It kinda of makes me think of the colors and shapes of a oil rainbow on water

[@esmewitch]

This is beautiful. Your patience and skill are so rewarding to watch.

[@heathersmith1257]

That piece has so much character, it's beautiful.

[@grindsaur]

That is a magnificent piece of wood, and you've done it a service by letting it keep its shape. Lovely!

[@gunarone1]

What a beautiful piece, a true craftsman at work, the wood grain and colours are magnificent. I'd definitely say a difficulty of 10.

[@Dodgystitch]

That grain is amazing, nature is wonderful

[@mitchgillilan]

That is the coolest piece of yew ive ever seen! A Masterpiece!!!! I love the fluted yew trunks they have so much personality and beauty. 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you very much! It was a cool piece of Yew

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Magnificent !!!!!!!!!!! Looks like a big Fall Leaf

[@leonasamuel7791]

Amazing. Love the variegated color. And it’s 100% natural. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@tanyanicholson3154]

The finished product is even more badass!! Great work man!! Iv got some logs I would love to have u finish for me…came from the trees from our mountain house❤❤❤

[@colinmacdonald404]

Thanks 👍. Yew had a bit of a challenge with this one but turned out great. Thanks again for your time in making this video. It isn’t easy. Cheers

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Colin

[@LJ-qk8ui]

Fascinating and absolutely gorgeous!

[@AndrewAhlfield]

What wobble! Such a beautiful endgrain piece! Again blown away by your patience and the reward it produces!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@jillianbelan8946]

Stunning, the natural grain of trees is amazing 😻

[@pflick13]

I feel some wood doesn't need to be made into anything it just needs it's inner beauty to be exposed! Insane in the membrane! Awesome work my friend!

[@castingshadows282]

This was more than interesting. This was a work of art being sculptured by a master craftsman. One of a kind piece of beauty. You always amaze with everything you touch, and as if by magic something awesome is born. Top quality as always. 🖖👍

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@doriWyo]

It's like a water splash of grains and colors!

[@barbfilion5646]

Those colors are amazing, wow great job, I could just see my flabby bits gettin in the way

[@rennaehanson9996]

Absolutely stunning piece Andy!!! ❤❤❤

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@clellasher7473]

Beautiful result Andy! Gorgeous bit of wood. Thank you for sharing your time, adventure and skills.👍🤟🪡🎨

[@karengilchrist9774]

That is absolutely gorgeous, Andy!

[@lorrainedelgado8991]

Jeez! I had no idea. I thought you were making an art piece for the wall but this bowl is gorgeous. Bravo Master Woodman 😊

[@arnhemseptember2009]

I love this. True woodturning with great wood and a beautiful end result!

[@StefRosaWoods]

Gosh, what an absolute stunner!

[@angelamartin7535]

I REALLY LOVE 💕 THIS PIECE! Such a beautiful talent to be given from god.

[@robijakus6860]

okay yeah i mean you are definitely my new favorite turner like goddamn everything you make is just perfect! you really bring out the qualities of the wood instead of drawing attention away from them with resin and stuff

[@robijakus6860]

also love how you embrace the natural shapes and don't try to force the wood into these weird forms it doesn't want to be turned into

[@beatamichalska6220]

Amazing beauty. Watching you doing such a masterpiece is an honour. Thank you.

[@thomaskirkpatrick4031]

Absolutely stunning. Thanks for sharing.

[@emileneslo5695]

Respect. Never seen you turn wood on the edge of your turning table also without that second pin support too. Made my hands sweaty by just looking at it so I can't imagine you being a bit anxious during the process.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks .. It was a bit sketchy at times

[@kaylaharding9977]

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Outstanding work!!!
