The putter head is made from osage orange and the shaft is made from hickory. I filled all the voids in the putter with a 2:1 epoxy.

I love these small projects, Andy. You do make them seem easy to make, and I'm sure it is above my pay grade at this time in my woodworking life. I would like to try though. Thanks for sharing.

[@garretthorton7832]

Osage Orange is one of my favorite woods to work with, well done man!

[@justmyopinion6486]

Great Video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I had a shop like yours, I would never leave it. Fantastic WOOD WORKING SHOP.

[@chesterbanner3093]

That is so cool. Just a leather grip. The head is beautiful.

[@kitchenscience324]

I’ve watched everyone of your videos. I’ve been a big fan since Jay Bates talked about your skill level, bout 8 months ago. This, by far, was a true testament of your skill and attention to detail. It’s up there with Jackman’s Lag Lamp. Bravo Mr. Rawls!

[@AndyRawls]

Hey thanks!! I had no idea Jay gave me a shout out.

[@kitchenscience324]

Yah, he was talking about you tubers that do great work using hand tools. May have been around the shooting board video...I think 🤔

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Wow my friend. You are full of neat ideas. Beautiful as ever Andy. You have a great ability to see what is within materials.

[@dougsholly9323]

Using your drill press to sand the shaft was pure genius. I never would have thought of that. Beautiful final product!

[@waqarghulam3548]

Such a beautiful workshop

[@jonathankirby2388]

I really wish i could find one of the old Sand-Rite Drum sanders like you have there. Greta Build!!

[@potteryjoe]

Beautiful piece, as always!

[@MeansWoodshop]

That osage orange looks great. Definitely a fantastic wood to work with. Good project, bud.

[@mr.e574]

Love making things. Especially custom ish like this here!!

[@samuelking1775]

Glad to see that you care about your safety and use a SawStop table saw

[@gregherman7906]

Amazing. Well done, sir. Hope you make a lot of birdies with that beauty.

[@horstholzhacker3862]

Really nice, a very creative anderen beautiful work!

[@VeradonaRestoration]

Good job !

[@billzielke6798]

Maybe only someone who has had to chainsaw Osage orange trees can appreciate your choice of saw. I was thinking you might have been undergunned...ha. That came out looking great!

[@markharris5771]

That is beautiful!

[@trishaaudettemammadukes30]

Looks really lovely

[@elpacotaco1843]

Wow! An amazing turn out!! Only if I could get my hands on one!

[@TroDude69]

Man, I just wanna say you're such an inspiration. I found out about your channel from your 100 y/o oak spoon video (which, looking at it now at 15m views, I'm sure a lot of others did too!) and have been a fan since. The recent-ish addition of your vlog-type videos made the content more relatable, and they're super entertaining! Lastly, from watching your videos, and finding more woodworking channels, I decided to pick up a chisel and try at it. It brings me a lot of joy. Thank you so much

[@AndyRawls]

Thanks Man...I really appreciate it! Also, great hear that your trying some woodworking on your own

[@saintignatius714]

Nice! Next time you use resin, you should try it with amber dye. It looks like real crystallized amber and goes great with the brown aesthetic

[@itshomelife]

So awesome!

[@martincano4650]

Nice job! Its fantastic

[@swalkerc1996]

I really enjoy your work! Before this video I had not seen Osage orange before! I’m thinking about making one out of mesquite for my dad, any tips on how to start? Thanks for your help!

[@burnbank69]

now thats a nice disc sander...yum!

[@AndyRawls]

Thanks! I just picked it up a few weeks ago.

[@mrlodge6865]

Best utilization for this skill by far haha and you taught me a trick for sanding with the drill press 🙈

[@swimmer6890]

What type oils and finishes do you typically use? Food safe- Furniture-

[@brandenclauson]

ive seen you make a few golf clubs now, ever think about making a billards stick?

[@lbhunter6341]

I have to admit, that's not something I would have thought of doing...it's fantastic!

[@kookyflukes9749]

Hi Andy. Looks good. Could you not have sliced a quarter inch off the bottom and hollowed out the back of the putter before filling with lead and regluing the bottom thus gaining the weight but hiding it inside the putter. Think I might try this. Always wanted a wooden putter that I made. Thanks for the video man.

[@grahamefreestone5309]

Only about 150 subscribers away from 300k. You should get that by tonight Andy. 👍

[@CinemaSasquatch]

I enjoyed this as much as watching the Osage Orange Golf Club build.

[@trenton6621]

Make a full set please

[@SXT15]

Enjoyed this video been thinking about doing one of these soon. Also pretty cool your shop is in Boerne right around the corner

[@hizo64HH]

I'm wearing your Oliver Bandsaw shirt, it is so soft and nice.

[@olivervarcoe867]

Any way I could get the putter it looks awesome

[@user-wt6rc6ln1v]

Oh, cool. what brand is your green band saw

[@scottman-cl4jm]

Andy that was cool, Great job. You could probably sell those putters That is badass.

[@markbryan9989]

That is cool. When will you be joining the Tour?

[@hasanirshad7481]

Did you ever used red roses wood for your work

[@rwe2156]

Hey Andy, what brand of slider you got there?

[@beardedpenguin3795]

00:11 - could be captioned, "Texas spoon carving with Andy Rawls". Another great video. How's the progress going on the mortiser?

[@AKI111]

For your consideration... A nubuck leather wrap grip and maybe next time, don't bore the shaft hole all the way through. The epoxy would make for a great face material.

[@georgeallen8871]

Just put the lead weight on the contact point, like a small flat bar across the entire surface. It will keep the wood from looking ugly and will be functional.

[@megatarzan4763]

couldnt you find a bigger saw in the beginning? :D

[@Reynhardtp2]

Is there a reason you didn't stabilize the wood?

[@ironseagull5117]

Pool cue?

[@SledgeHammer43]

I've never used a weighted putter, but Drivers O Yeah. But my favorite was a Extra stiff graphite shaft Driver 5°. First and only time my slice disappeared. But I did over shoot the Green and I bounced it off traffic just past the Green. Then I wasn't allowed use that club anymore.

[@jonwills4670]

Fantastic as always!! How’s the other golf club you made holding up?

[@AndyRawls]

Thanks...it still works. Honestly hasn't gotten a whole of use

[@Ack5100]

I am requesting you build a boat or canoe!!!! Thse total boat product are awesome.

[@AndyRawls]

One day I will...

[@TotalBoat]

Andy we're ready when you are!

[@RodneyGardner]

could have embedded the weight in the epoxy too. GREAT VIDEO! Thank you for the inspiration

[@waqarghulam3548]

U could have used an old pool queue for shaft. But what about COG?

[@jasonlewisvlogs8764]

Andy you should makes a pool cue and some pool balls

[@burgbuilds]

3:34 soo satisfying.

[@lucasrozmus9388]

We need to see a game with your home made sticks

Andy Rawls AKA spoon maker

[@netdoctor1]

Hedgeapple is so, so hard to cut. It's the only wood I've ever cut that throws sparks out of your chain. Makes a pretty, cracklin' fire once it's seasoned though, with pretty yellow flame.

[@bfflorida2311]

Great project and vid... I do have a one issue... I don't think your chain saw was big enough.. lol 👏👍😁

[@nickhobson5308]

U must never cut osage orange

[@clydedecker765]

Looks great .. How are you doing on that motor rebuild?

[@AndyRawls]

I got a quote to have it re-built and it was very expensive. Looks like I'm just going to replace bearings

[@brianheath982]

How about a custom cue stick?

[@TakaBrute]

Damn, that epoxy looked neato! I think having a furniture set with epoxy would be sick. But probably cost upwards of 15k for a full dining set XD

[@JD_Fidler]

You could bore a hole in the sole of the putter to add lead and cover it with a mortised in brass plate. Kinda like an old school persimmon driver.

[@NASTYcraftX]

We have that sliding table on the saw stop at university. Its completely worth the extra $1k imo

[@ThehouseofSIN999]

This is sooo cool...Can I buy one of these please .....Christmas present 4 my DAD.....Thanks👍

[@p1choco]

More weight? Inlay a brass puck. Maybe inlay some brass rod in that aiming notch. Nice work!

[@marshalltotten1151]

I would love to buy one of these from you, if you were interested in making another one.

That's a big boi chain saw with 2 bois

[@isaacworsley3649]

Hey Andy I've been watching your page for a while and I am a huge fan I want to work with wood when I grow up and I was wondering if u could make a video on making a rustic looking trunk/hope box. That's one of my future dream projects and I thought it would be awesome if I saw you do it to lead me in this project. Keep being awesome and thanks for the awesome content👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@AndyRawls]

Thanks! I’ll look into it...sounds like a cool project.

[@l1zrdking]

I don't really know anything about golf (other than Im a decent putt-putt player) but what were the scraggly lines you carved into the small "head" of the club? Seemed very sloppy compared to the excellent craftsmanship of the rest.

[@sttm1283]

awesome build. not sure i like the wooden shaft though. you should have put some insert in the hitting face. steel, carbon, aluminum, rubber, plastic or whatever. just my thoughts.

[@FloydBarker]

I may be alone on this one, but I like watching Andy's videos the old way with no voice over or captions.

[@jennifernierodzik]

My daughter is just getting into golf I think she would flip for a handmade club!

I do but it doesn't work very well.

We call it Hedge where I grew up and they will take over everything if you let them. I’ve only ever used this species for bonfires, man does it burn hot really hot. It has a very pretty color and grain might save a nice piece next time I make the trip home for what I have no idea it will probably collect dust in the corner until I throw it in a fire.

[@gooooooootooooooo3825]

I bet you could make pool cues

[@JoryValley]

Need to pick up the new Milwaukee fuel chainsaw; be a great shop tool. Quieter and no smelly exhaust fumes.

[@TheBrewersDroop]

Fair ones on the lead weight. I was expecting a brass plate or something. Such a shame to cover that beautiful wood though.

[@charley8699]

Enjoy the occasional silent format with captions:}

[@evanfoster93]

You should make a big sword out of wood that would be cool

cool

[@justmyopinion6486]

I forgot great wood working skills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mehulghosal4017]

overcompensating with that saw are we?

[@georgekonrad911]

How about slicing it, boring the hole for the weight in the slice and gluing it back together to conceal the weight

[@braden5026]

make irons and a hybridalso your wood witg some golf balls plz

Why is that stuff good?

Why?

lol you look like murdock from the a-team :DDD but really nice video :O

[@freck9326]

inset a metal type face to it for weight!

[@aaronjackson6958]

im pretty sure the total boat epoxy is just west systems epoxy with a different label on it.

[@TotalBoat]

Aaron Jackson! This is most certainly NOT the case! But we will take that as a compliment! ;)

[@jacobasch6573]

5:37 just fyi, you will have much faster results if you grind it on the left side. Just from a physics point of view

[@jacobasch6573]

Nevermind, that wheel spins opposite of what I'm used to. Great work though.

[@stevengarcia4512]

Im not sure why but your channel is the only wood working channel I enjoy, please don't conform to other channels

[@gmeister03]

When in doubt, get a bigger bar

Now make an Osage orange out of an epoxy gold putter

[@steakhousejohn5990]

Could have filled it with lead or low temperature alloys instead of epoxy to get the weight
