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

[@RealityInk]

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

[@mielthebee]

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

[@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

[@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.. ❤️❤️❤️

[@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

[@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

[@charles.e.g.]

Absolutely exquisite. ❤

[@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."

[@pnwgrown_360]

I got some yew that I’m excited to turn

[@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 😆

[@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.

[@ggreene245]

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

[@feeberizer]

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

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thankyou 💪😁

[@vinimarshall7301]

And again yew made made another beautiful piece 👏👏👏

[@barbieb1386]

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

[@samanthadean1083]

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

[@kinpatsu6366]

A Herculean effort! 👏👏 Congratulations King Charles!

[@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 👍

[@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.

[@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

[@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 😫

[@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

[@dtork47]

Very nicely done piece of Yew, outstanding once again.

[@arabellachampaq689]

Thank you for this

[@noahcount7132]

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

[@WaiferThyme]

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

[@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 ❤

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

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

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Jonas 👍

[@HuhHowboutThat]

Oh WOW! Another stunner! 💙💢💙💢💙💢💙💢💙

[@MrJohnnyboyrebel]

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

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@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

[@frankierzucekjr]

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

[@lorrem2539]

love it!

[@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 👍

[@petershipman7314]

Gorgeous piece of yew ,stunning ❤

[@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 👍

[@leonasamuel7791]

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

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@tyn999]

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

[@marilynhoeth4696]

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

[@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...

[@m3rrys0ngstr3ss]

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

[@larryweinberg1191]

Another inspiring turning. You are the Buster Keaton of wood turners. Here is PNW we have Pacific Yew trees. They are not easy to come by for several reasons. As a forest worker I have compiled a good number of yew chunks, will turn as I get more competent. Have come across a yew wood tree years ago on ridge with an approximate 36-40" DBH. Was very pyramidal as it was only about 60' tall with healthy top.

[@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!

[@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

[@jonathanlewis9098]

Again creative genius beyond phenomenal !

[@angelamartin7535]

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

[@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 😊

[@ChrisSmith-yq9pr]

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

[@1945jude]

Now that’s what I call a brilliant result!

[@dougthatcher3521]

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

[@kima091]

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

[@Meagain921]

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

[@wizardofhoz7216]

Always interesting, thanks Andy look forward to your content every week!!!

[@kevdimo6459]

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

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

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

[@chandarussell]

Now that is just beautiful. Simply beautiful.

[@valareefoss]

This piece of wood is beautiful to begin with. WoW! ;-), the out come of this, just amazing.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@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.

[@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

[@msa4548]

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

[@AndrewAhlfield]

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

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@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

[@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 .

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 )

[@floundergearjam]

Andy, just saw this and I am always amazed by your work. What else can I say other than, "Yew rock!"

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@Dodgystitch]

That grain is amazing, nature is wonderful

[@AdamjacobiGIA]

Absolutely gorgeous - thank you for sharing another brilliant piece! Cheers and happy weekend!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Adam 👍

[@alangibb3100]

Andy, that turned out fantastic what a beautiful bowl the grain is smashing well done

[@Sebastopolmark]

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

[@karengilchrist9774]

That is absolutely gorgeous, Andy!

[@1954JDR]

That is absolutely beautiful.

[@BexnRN]

Stunning.

[@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

[@SilverBack.]

This is a wonder piece with the natural edge, Well done 👏👏

[@andreweastwood862]

Wow; a smashing piece of turning. Excellent

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thankyou 👍

[@johnandrews6288]

Beautiful work, a gorgeous piece.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@TheRavnKnight]

[@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer]

WONDER-FULL!!!! Hardest? Well Andy, you made it look easy.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thankyou 😁

[@kaylaharding9977]

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Outstanding work!!!

[@sandiebrecken1897]

Absolutely beautiful Andy, I thought this would be a beautiful clock

[@barbfilion5646]

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

[@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.

[@JimOMoore]

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

[@patriciamay638]

That has to be the best piece i have ever seen on youtube

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thankyou 👍

[@doriWyo]

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

[@johnschutt9187]

THAT is a beautiful piece of wood. And wonderful turning.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thankyou 👍

[@teresatruman2976]

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

[@LJ-qk8ui]

Fascinating and absolutely gorgeous!

[@MsBee777]

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

[@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.

[@benkirkland5354]

Arguably one of the coolest pieces I’ve seen you do. Niiiiice

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@jamesconnell1531]

Now that was something else. Top job son as always Scotland sends its regards

[@marknienstadt6963]

Just wanted to let you know, we appreciate you risking your life for our entertainment. 😁

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

[@rubbercrutch1]

This is absolute mastery. Beautiful work!
