Fire wood to Christmas Present

[@missharry5727]

These are the ones I like best, just a random piece of old wood and a simple but not obvious shape, showing its unexpected beauty. The dark crack becomes a feature, not a flaw. The pencils and the resin are great fun but this is real woodwork. My grandfather was a joiner - very basic stuff mainly, like mending chairs and the desks from the local school - but he was also the village undertaker and made coffins. My sister and I spent a lot of time in his workshop, watching him at work, learning about different types of wood and the use of his tools. Looking back it was a bit weird with the odd half-finished coffin propped up in the corner, but fascinating and, for us, just normal.

beautiful bowl, love the burnt edge, makes it very unique, lovely woodgrain, whomever receives this as a gift should be most pleased, another lovely piece of art Andy!!!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thankyou

[@ChrisSmith-yq9pr]

Of course Andy has the power of pardoning a piece of firewood for Christmas! But with his extraordinary creative genius, he has made a Christmas present masterpiece, leaving it with an incredible burnt edge as a gentle reminder of what it could have been! Its gorgeous Andy! Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!

[@jodidavis6595]

Well said.

[@floydperdway]

The burnt edge is very kewl, and that crazy knot really sets the piece off (imo). You never fail to deliver something unique. Thanks!

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

I'd be thrilled to receive this as a present! I love the edge - the contrast of the colours is awesome!

[@KOTEC525]

You don't think it turned out bad!?! IT'S STUNNING!!! Very inspirational work! Makes me want a bigger lathe!

[@adhambarbour]

Hey not bad for firewood, I think burning the edge of the bowl was a nice touch. Also I'm happy to say that I was finally able to purchase a lathe for myself this year. I can't wait to take it for a spin and try out a few inspired projects thanks to you Andy.😄

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

That's great.. have fun 👍

[@WaiferThyme]

What a gorgeous trinket tray! I especially like the burnt edge. Whoever gets it for Christmas is going to love it!

[@cobberpete1]

The Beauty of fire wood. I can't not look at it and evaluate it's turning potential before it ends up on the fire 😊

[@noahcount7132]

It's gorgeous, Andy. My wish is for the lucky recipient to be as thrilled as I am envious. 👍

[@xx0124xx]

I really like these pieces that have been done “the wrong way”. Love the curve and the edge

[@karengilchrist9774]

What a fascinating piece of wood! Crazy grain. I'm sure the recipient will love the gift!

[@RenaLarson61]

I love your burnt edge bowls beautiful work and a lovely gift

[@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer]

How great is it to shop for your next project piece just outside your door. I love that. Watching you I feel how Peacefully you work. This time you simply removing all that wasn’t the bowl. It’s just matter of fact. I swear I could smell the fragrance of the fire meeting the wood. How fun! Thank you Andy for sharing your Creative Expression with us as you shape nature piece by piece.

[@HuhHowboutThat]

The outside became the inside & the inside became the outside and it all worked out perfect in the end! ❤

[@christurner.168]

Wonderful. At least it got a little taste of what it was destined for, and much as love a log fire, this little piece survived to show off its true beauty.

[@hopehealthhappiness465]

Very lovely!

[@kathleenorr9237]

Very elegant and the burnt edge finishes it perfectly.

[@zoeartrc]

A little bit like opening a badly wrapped Christmas present then finding an absolute gem inside. Happy Christmas Andy & thank you for sharing your artistic gifts for us to admire & enjoy ♥️

[@fiberotter]

Beautiful grain patterns! The blackened edging gives it a buttoned down look.

[@laurazakrzewski]

Simply elegant Andy!

[@MsBee777]

Very pretty Christmas present! I love the burnt edge! Thanks for sharing.

[@AuntK68]

Plain and simple but with that burnt edge for some drama. I just love it!

Beautiful little bowl Andy, someone is getting a beautiful gift! ❤❤❤❤

Wow, beautiful piece of wood and made a lovely bowl. 😊

Beautiful bowl. I love the shape.

[@janwalters5563]

A real thing of beauty and the burnt edge added a bit of drama ❤

[@williamellis8993]

Really nice, Andy. I think the edge treatment was a great addition. I was also admiring those shavings you were producing. Bill

[@romalacroix8162]

Wow !! Beautiful, What a craft you have , I really enjoy your videos,glad I found them . Thank You 😊 ❤

[@AndreaMerchak]

Beautiful! It's a piece of art.

[@mrnnhnz]

Really nice result Andy. Looks like a serving dish for fancy picnics or on-the-deck get-togethers. You know, for salami, pastrami, cheeses, olives, dried figs and so forth...

I love using firewood. You can get some stunning pieces from a bag and pretty cheap as well.

Got to keep your hand in Andy. Nice piece. Better than burning it all on the log burner. Merry Christmas mate.

You brought out the torch and I thought you were going to make it firewood. Glad you didn't. Nice piece.

Nicely done Andy. With grain patterns like that I would be raiding the wood pile for projects all the time😁😁 Take care Andy. All the best Christmas wishes to you and your family Cheers Harold

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Harold .. same to you too

[@jdoesmath2065]

Once again I’m astonished at what you are able to turn. Do you sharpen your own lathe tools? If so, I would love a tutorial.

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Great work

[@fleshcoff5927]

Дело,мастера боится)Так выглядит работа и уровень, токаря 6го разряда👍

[@daddanet74]

I have a suggeston for you. Make inside the bowl deep Lichtenberg figures and fill them with red/orange epoxy.

[@jeremy1350]

Hi Andy. I find it cool, when you have a "turn" where you get the illusion that you are carving out something invisible. It's a pretty piece. And for Christmas I offer Albert Finney as Scrooge: I like life. Life likes me. Life and I fairly fully agree. Life is fine. Life is good, 'Specially mine, which is just as it should be. I like pouring the wine, and why not? Life's a pleasure; that I deny not.

[@mellissadalby1402]

I admit it is satisfying to watch the nice cuttings caused by properly sharp gouges. Other "wood turning channels" have blunt tools.

[@ivanbukh7576]

Шикарный подарок! Такое дерево жечь нельзя!

[@JoSHBunnell_WyldStyl3]

Looks great! What kind of oil are you putting on there and did you oil the burnt edge as well?

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks... I used Danish oil, I coated the burnt edge as well

[@betsyeardly5199]

Awesome ❤

Beautiful

[@garycarpenter2932]

nice. i sure have learned a lot from you. made some pretty nice pieces. may i ask a question? a couple vases i turned ended up as nice looking fireplace logs. they split pretty bad. i don't know what wood it was as it was picked out of wood for burning at the local little grocery store up the road from me. is this a tragic part of life? was my shop too dry? just curious. .

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks, gland you find the channel useful...we get firewood that is seasoned so it is a good moisture content to turn 👍

[@arabellachampaq689]

You make it laugh, it WAS from the burn pile. I would love to have received that upcycle!

[@berteisenbraun7415]

I want to be on your Christmas list 😊

[@FlyDrowner]

Yup. Nice one again Mr P. 🎄💚🎄 Merry Xmaswintervaltide 🎄💚🎄

[@feeberizer]

Is that snow I saw? No wonder you were bundled up. And no wonder you decided on using some firewood. If it didn't turn out well - and it turned out fabulous - you could use it as firewood after all! P.S. What do you do with all the shavings? I was thinking it might be interesting to try using a bunch in resin some time.

[@jasonscheffler9813]

Never going to be able to look at firewood the same again Andy.

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Very nice.

Beautiful bowl, Andy! Wow! What carbide tool were you using? (It looked like it had a 45-degree angle.)

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks .. It was a 10mm carbide by Simon Hope Woodturning

[@pszllz]

Thanks, Andy! Merry Christmas. @@AndyPhillipWoodturning

[@TheGrainMill]

What gouge do you use for roughing? That thing was doing a great job!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks .. I used a 1/2 " Crown cryo gouge by crown tools on this .. its not really a roughing gouge but its my go to gouge for most things I also use the 3/8 " version

Birch I think

What wad the piece you put in the chuck to screw the wood onto? I need 1.

It was a woodworm screw

[@beverlylumley4150]

Beautiful touch, poor bowl was burned either way.

[@DennisDolan-fl3mw]

Very nice bowl. I don't get torching the wood. Fire and wood are absolute enemies. Wood looks best when kept away from fire.

[@karenstafford724]

That would look lovely with some Holly laid in it with some of that thin tinsel thrown over it.❤❤❤❤

[@Foxhunter49]

I can just imagine Andy’s wife fighting with him over what she can and cannot burn on the fire!

[@OGSontar]

I really enjoyed woodshop back in Jr. High so long ago. More than once in the decades since then I've wished I had followed that path, but life had other ideas. Sadly, the teachers in that school at that time for the most part didn't give a damn about the students. There were exceptions (the one that comes most to mind was the English teacher, she'd go way out of her way to provide all the help you might need), but most of them just wanted to go home and get away from us kids. Unfortunately, the woodshop teacher seemed lifeless and monotone, like he was reading from a script. He gave little to no encouragement, but if you screwed up, he'd rip you a new one. The whole class hated him, as I suspect all the other students that had a class with him did. Pity.
