Woodturning - The Emerging Man

Turning a bowl/platter from a gnarly slice of Horse Chestnut burl ..I was really close to giving up with this piece it had voids which I filled with epoxy and antique gold pearl ex and some real punky wood which I soaked in ca glue to try and stop it disintegrating ..It may still be a little punky, but the emerging figure that's trying to get out of the bowl makes me glad I persevered with it ..

No music, no voice over, talent and a beautiful bowl. Perfect in every way.

[@815tomtom518]

Finally!!!!!! Someone smart enough to cover your lathe bed before you started applying and spraying finish on your project. Thank you from a retired shop teacher that would have pulled his hair out if he saw a student doing what I have seen time after time on these woodworking shows.

[@overdoneone]

I would say that you were quite fortunate to have this wonderful figure hiding......awaiting your talents to bring it to life! Very good Andy, as always...

[@dred1606]

I was in middle school back in the 70's when I first used a lathe. It is one one the most satisfying power tools a wood worker can use. I have watched many of your videos and am amazed with the creation that you have made. Well done!!!!!

[@ThatSocratesguy]

Wow the colours ended up looking really exquisite

[@MrJerryKramer]

Andy it’s such joy to watch you turn a piece of wood that others would either burn in their fireplace or just throw away into the beautiful art piece you create. You have the eyes 👀 of a master.

[@maplesummers2023]

I love watching your videos. You make gold out of everything

[@javieruribe9481]

Another impressive video. It's wonderful to see how wood takes form as you work on it. I don't know why these videos you post ease my anxiety, but I hope you keep sharing them with us. Thank you Andy.

[@sweets6259]

As your emerging man, you have emerged victorious from this challenge! Lovely!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks

[@aeronbaker5036]

I started wood turning a month ago cause i saw videos of your great work. Thanks for that, its really amazing!

[@TedCornish]

That's an awesome result from such a crap lump of wood. Well done my friend 👍👍

[@jamesconnell1531]

As Ridley Walker said it's the heart of the wood lovely job son as always Scotland sends its regards

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

The man is applauding you, Andy, just like I am. Glad you stuck with this amazing piece! Phil

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Phil

[@cindyripley3120]

That's awesome! Thank you. Love watching grain pop.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Cindy

[@glenpiro313]

So, if you pause at 7:33, look at the piece at the 7 O clock position, I see a face, ears, forehead etc, looks kinda like a genie of sorts to me. I thought that was gonna be the emerging man. The best part about a beautiful piece of work/art is what we see in it. Beautiful.

[@cherylfitch2693]

When started cutting the first circle and all the “interesting” bark edges were cut off my heart screamed “NOOOOOOOO! 😱😱😱😱. Oh me of little faith 🥵 As usual you uncovered the hidden beauties of the wood. You ARE the master.👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍.

[@stregarossa2112]

What amazing things are discovered. Really like the stain used.

[@judithcatlett8518]

Cool. Liked hearing the real sounds of your work.

[@Catherine-nb1xv]

You must have great vision. To be able to create something so stunning out of what to me looked like a lump of firewood, at best. 🖤

[@bluegirlfriday1251]

Nice Andy and of course, want that one!! 👌💕💕

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Helen

[@bettyforbes7291]

positively stunning conversation piece!!!

[@fredferd965]

You know, that bowl is really beautiful!!!!

[@cigarsmoka9741]

Excellent job accentuating the natural features of the bowl! It’s not only beautiful but also one of my favorites I’ve seen on all of YT. Outstanding! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks so much

[@henry44mag.26]

This one's gotta lotta character in it and that's what makes it even nicer.

[@frederickday7600]

You produce some amazing pieces and I like the method of presentation. It is very satisfying to watch a highly skilled craftsman at work, I just wish I had access to the lovely wood you have. Thank you so much for the inspiration.

[@Lilith-Rose]

Ca glue has saved my arse when working on things more times than I care to count especially when working with "punky" wood on something (awesome expression, I like it) BTW I tend to use a medium grit sanding block to remove it from skin when it doesn't easily peel off, the sandpaper removes the glue but leaves the skin unharmed, pumice stone in the bath works alright too. Yes I use my fingers to spread the glue when I'm working with it, definitely not something I'd recommend for anyone to try but that's just what I've found works best for me

[@kimberlyparkhurst6584]

Love watching you work. You do make beautiful things.

[@driftingwild455]

Dryad! Lovely bowl ☺️

[@jackierudd2010]

Andy you're a craftsman. What you do with these burrs is brilliant, I love to see the dig out of the rot and the transformation with the added epoxy. I'm starting my woodturning course on Wednesday and I'm itching to have a go with burrs, they have such a lot of character. Thanks again for sharing your inspirational videos 😊 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks so much Jackie

[@raymondcoggins297]

Love the grain beautiful piece

[@BigTull655]

Great job on bringing that burl through the danger zone! I kept waiting for it to blow up any second.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Tully ..Always be ready to dodge the log ..lol

[@narayandejesusreyes5843]

Looks like a runner crossing the finish line at the end of a marathon, that arms in the air pose.

[@gaylanlee6447]

Thank you. I enjoy your approach. You help me to look with a more creative perspective. Again, thank you.

[@TTSHAWNA2]

Another BEAUTIFUL piece Mr. Andy! Glad to see your fingers getting better.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Shawna

[@markusrenken98]

wow... absolutely amazing craftsmanship... that's one wonderful piece of art you made there. :))

[@jamesfarnham1976]

Just think how so many things are hidden like this and found by the artist. Too cool! Thanks!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

thanks James

[@leneynon6268]

Excellent piece and great achievement. How that didn’t explode I’ll never know. Well done👍👍

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

thanks Len

[@tommccall7540]

Simple, but artistic. Beautiful turning.

[@DerTeufelImDetail]

Crowd: Which type and shape of wood do you prefer to use to turn it into a masterpiece? Andy Phillip: Yes!

[@adysmith3138]

I love the lack of music in your videos. It can be detracting at times. Thanks fobanother great video.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Adrian

[@moltenren3439]

SCP-106 HAS BROKEN OUT OF THE PIECE OFWOOD AT GATE A, FIRE THE HID TURRETS AT WILL. DO NOT LET IT ACROSS THE BRIDGE. Fantastic work as always, Andy!

[@RockyRoadJY]

Yes, indeed there is a man coming out of that bowl. Amazing and beautifully made. I don't think there is anything punky about it!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you

[@Ded.Uras.81rus]

Красота дерева и структура его, вот это красота от природы. Кто работал с деревом это понимает. Удачи Andy👍

[@Sanorace]

I like how mysterious the title is. I see it. I see the emerging man... or are you the emerging man? Dun Dun DUN!

[@mariedriskell8752]

Beautiful; I see an angle by a child in the bowl.💙💚❤💙

[@marijanazivulovic7902]

I've been waiting for this video since I saw the picture on instagram!! Great work!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Marijana ..

[@JimsonMakes]

Great result with a difficult piece of wood Andy. Cheers, Jim

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Jim ..

[@07929858]

It’s amazing what nature can provide and what could be done with it

[@ICA17887]

Quand le tournage sur bois devient du grand art. Magnifique travail 👍

[@1972mexico]

Yet again Andy another nice piece. Very hard to turn. But you definitely done well. Well done Andy.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Nigel

[@mossie1954]

Just for fun, don't fill after the drill....and just leave the openings and coat with the oil... nice earthy texture :) LOVE your work man.

[@sandybrecken4583]

Very sweet Andy, that looks great

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Sandy

[@darrylheppner8732]

That's just beautiful

[@johncapo6757]

mom he is at it again - WOW = GENIUS

[@ingrid9635]

Beautiful! You're a true artist

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Ingrid

[@steveborch6820]

Wow. Beautiful piece!!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Steve

[@ritasbitsoflife7934]

Love it!! Amazing what you can see in these pieces.

[@paulorth2251]

That ended up looking superb, when you started out with such a thin piece as this one was I thought you were creating a plate of some kind, but the final product is excellent, good video.

[@Val-zj1zz]

I like that you slowed the video to real time so us non-lathe workers could hear what you hear, especially when it was still heavy to one side in the beginning. I'm so used to watching Nick Zammetti that the lack of music and talking it was a "little weird" at first haha!

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

That is a very beautiful piece.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@TarotLadyLissa]

Another beautiful piece!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks

[@815tomtom518]

Your project turned out beautifully. I hardly ever had a strict shape that determined any of my projects(which were usually teaching demos). I usually let the material be the guiding factor of how it was going to look.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

👍

[@tomasarguinzoni9022]

Wow. Great job my friend 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Tomas

[@donaldtrabeauxjr5323]

AP man that is some awesome wood grain absolutely stunning thanks for sharing your knowledge and craftsmanship

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Donald

[@JamesGarwood]

That looked a difficult piece to turn, well done :)

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks James ..

[@elliottsimkins74]

Beautiful work!!!

[@ronaldainaire7086]

I think that I would have stopped at 5 minutes and added some colored epoxy. Beautiful turning Andy!

[@suzetteedwards7956]

Dude! You find some of the coolest looking pieces of wood!

[@alvarocabreravillalon3363]

Great work!!!

[@Pendaws]

Such talent and that great art piece sitting in the wood waiting for the master to release it. :)

[@rogerr9677]

Beautiful piece...

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Roger

[@kennethwest3905]

Wow amazing turnout on the piece, I think it looks really cool!

[@timothyreaper8932]

Oh, I get it.The figure struggling to escape the dish is symbolic of the artist's struggle to make something out of that piece of crappy wood! (Good job!)

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

You got it Timothy ..cheers

[@StudioJLT]

More like triumphant man. Well made!

[@victorjohnson9672]

Great Video 👍🏿

[@stevebader6385]

Awesome work, as usual. I find one coat of sanding sealer before the ca helps considerably with the ca staining but still penetrates just fine.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

thanks Steve

[@KimTippin]

wow!! that is beautiful!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Kim

[@LantingFarming]

Very nice one. Love the huge crack in it.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks

Exelent, artwork!!!

[@tommccall7540]

Masterful work art.

[@revzillo]

That is a very nice bowl 👍

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Jerry

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

What an awesome plattet

[@clydeulmer4484]

My favorite kind of turning wood -- gnarly to the extreme :-) Came out beautifully, Andy. I know you probably had to use epoxy and CA glue on the seriously punky bits, but I've had success flooding punky wood with a half & half mix of cellulose lacquer and lacquer thinner (basically sanding sealer without the sodium stearate soap), followed with full strength lacquer. I've done some pieces that are probably 50% lacquer by weight :-) Clyde

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Clyde .. cheers for the tips I do use half and half cellulose / thinners I will have to try it .. I just bought some wood hardener to try the type you would use on wet rot I have 2 more large burls off this tree which are as gnarly as this so any tips are gratefully received ..cheers Andy

[@heatherfarewell6851]

So glad you uploaded!!! I really was in the need for a mood lifter after last night's spider incident 😂😂

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Heather .. sounds scary lol

[@heatherfarewell6851]

Andy Phillip lol it was pretty spooky

[@dianerobertson5668]

Was wondering about the title, but as you went on I could see him emerging, great piece x

this is the reason why I love turning burls, you just never know what's inside.

[@diydad6723]

awesome work luv it

[@holly-anne680]

Both side are so beautiful, I'd have to turn it upside down every other day...….or stand it edgewise on a rack so both sides could be viewed...…...AWESOME!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Holly-Anne

Wow... From nothing to be something... Unvalue to be expensive thing.... Brilian... 👍👍👍
