*In New Zealand we have Kauri Dieback on a number of our native Kauri trees. So a number of the tracks in the forests & bush are off limit to people due to this issue. We have special mats with a special chemical to walk on as it washes the soles, as you enter and when you leave the tracks to make sure this disease is not traveling about on the shoes or boots worn to other tracks in the bush where other Kauri trees do not have it. We are protecting the really old Kauri trees that are thousands of years old... We have a couple of specialised sniffer dogs now, that can smell the dieback disease. So that is helping us greatly. NZ scientists are working to find a cure. As KAURI is a protected native New Zealand tree. 🙂.*

WOW!🎉 I love reading about the small steps being made that have a HUGE impact on conservation! Bravæ! 🤟🤟🤟

[@whatever_12]

I read an article about ancient kauri trees being dug up from swamp some time ago.. It's fascinating that the log are still pretty much intact all those centuries. Are those still being sold?

[@andreacrashe9894]

@@whatever_12 *NO, I don't think so, as there was an uproar when it came out. A NZ political person's husbands company was selling it to China.... So that did not go down well with Maori & the rest of NZ people. I believe that loophole was closed up. Swamp Kauri is very precious and yep amazing how well it was preserved after all them years. It is worth a fortune. Years ago I use to make wooden toys. and I had come across in my travels some small bits of different native timber.. Rimu & Kauri... and I made a wooden moving Hippo toy. I found out that the Kauri was in fact swamp Kauri. It will never be sold or given away. as it is a made of two native timbers. Some old homes in NZ still have old Kauri floorboards.. but it is not swamp kauri.*

Too bad your government has restricted you from enjoying your forests while animals, birds, and wind in those areas are spreading the soil borne disease. How did the forests ever survive before people came along (LOL). Sounds like a nanny state where people think they can control everything.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

The "lightning strikes" are absolutely stunning! They look a bit scary to do, but I have faith in your common sense, as much as I have awe for your artistic talent. Your ideas for the various pieces are incredible. I've not seen one which hasn't blown me away. Seeing you cut the tree down made me chuckle to myself, though, because a) it's stupid o'clock (no birdsong yet!) and I didn't want to wake anyone by laughing out loud and b) my husband would appreciate your tree surgery skills. He used to be a tree surgeon/consultant before he became disabled, and he was very strict with anyone he worked with regarding the safety procedures (proper harness & ropes, chainsaw clothing which I can only assume you have, not seeing you up close, etc.) He's qualified in every area of tree surgery, including aerial rescue, hence his obsession with proper procedure. Though it's sped up and far away, it certainly looked like you were doing all the right things. That film did answer my constant "internal question" regarding where you get your wood from! Hubby does some woodwork himself, though he tends to work from what you might call secondhand wood (old furniture which might be damaged in parts but there's enough good wood to "rescue", pallets - he made a dovecote out of a bunch of pallets someone gave him, etc). He got a bargain the other week from an auction, his source of many projects. A ton of sheets of laminate in different woods including ebony, burr walnut, flame mahogany and others, all for about £20! Two pieces still had price stickers on them and they added up to more than he paid including the commission, and he's got dozens more. He's been a happy bunny for the last couple of weeks! I don't know if you look at local auction sites, but you might find a bargain there! Again, thank you for sharing your awesome talent. Your tendency to upload before the sparrows sing is great because I have a tendency to be awake now because of the pain of my own disabilities. You cheer me up no end.

[@madsdamm2307]

Awesomeness Andy! 👍 I am a lover of fractal burning. ❤️ I cannot stand it when someone tries to imitate this gorgeous craft with a dremel. Ash is the perfect wood. Lots of "trees" hidden inside! 🌳🌲

[@Blazingflare2000]

Imitating it with a dremel is infinitely safer though. The biggest blunder with a dremel will only leave you with a scar and a story. The tiniest mistake with fractal burning will almost certainly be instantly lethal to you or someone close to you.

[@adhambarbour]

I showed a couple friends your fractal burning pieces and they were in awe, have to show off this one next.😊

[@charlotte31415]

This type of burning is so incredibly dangerous, it should not be attempted under any circumstances. Please don't encourage other people to try this. Ann Reardon had made a very informative video about how dangerous this is on the How to Cook That channel.

[@Blazingflare2000]

For real. It is deceptively and unbelievably dangerous and should absolutely never be done, and is banned from most wood art galleries to discourage it. Many experienced professional electricians have died doing fractal burning. It's literally "accidentally brush a finger against the wood or anything remotely conductive the wood is touching and you are dead before you hit the floor" levels of dangerous.

Interesting how the dendritic burn lines tended to follow the lines of the grain - I've never noticed that before. Presumably it's because of variation in the moisture content in green wood. Fine effect, anyway, and a unique result.

Love the turning. I'm not terribly knowledgeable about wood. When it's fresh cut it's still has a bit of moisture? What keeps the work piece from cracking/splitting in the future as the wood dries out more? Do you apply a sealer so it doesn't dry?

Thanks.. always a risk of cracking with fresh cut wood but I split it down natural splits that were already starting and removed any pith so hopefully it won't be to bad

Finishes the design and looks it over... eh, let's set it on fire! In all seriousness, that burning technique you used was really interesting!

I'm sure there was a good reason to remove it.

I am curious what you’re going to do with the green wood to keep it from warping and checking.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

I split it on the natural cracks that were already forming and removed the pith the fractal burning dried it quite a bit .. its around 20% at the moment with no cracks but it has Warped a bit

[@MetalSlugzMaster]

A question, if you turn a bowl with green wood, does it run the risk of cracking and warping over time as it dries out? A second thought: if so, could you use that to your advantage, where you could turn a bowl, quickly dry it out to cause massive natural cracks on the grain, and then fill those with resin and gently turn it again to finish?

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Always a risk with green wood ..

Hi Andy. I really like this look. The fractural burning always looks great. I was curious what liquid conductor you used on this piece. I have burned quite a bit of Ash. I usually use a mild solution of baking soda and water. I find it will turn Ash a vibrant yellow, almost florescent. I didn't see that with your piece so I was curious. I have not tried fractural burning green wood so that was cool to see it works too! Thank you. Chris

I used bicarbonate of soda and water solution .. I was hoping to get it to conduct with the moisture in the wood but it wouldn't .. I used a wood bleacher after I cleaned it 👍
