Ugly Wood Is My Favourite Wood, Don't Burn It !!

[@harmonwalker3876]

After all this time I never get bored watching your videos. You see something beautiful in everything. Then you bring it to us common folks and make it beautiful to us. What a talent

[@jodidavis6595]

I was thinking the same thing

[@missharry5727]

The moment I saw that damaged timber I knew we were in for a treat. Of all the things you make I really love the "seriously grotty chunk of wood undergoes dramatic beauty treatment" videos. It takes a connoisseur to see the promise in wood like that, and a master of his craft to fulfil it.

[@goatflieg]

Watching your videos has taught me that each piece has an almost infinite number of possibilities for a beautiful outcome. The artistry comes in knowing how to judge just the right amount of material to remove; it's a moving target and you have to decide on the fly when to stop shaping. It's like jazz improvisation, only with wood and chisels.

[@richardcorwin1828]

Nicely done Andy! Once again you prove that ducklings don't stay ugly for long. Thank you sir.

[@DancingFox6]

So nice to see wood used this way and not all gooped up with resin. Great piece.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@heathersmith1257]

That's beautiful. I love it when you let the wood keep its character, instead of forcing it into a perfect shape.

[@alrocha3835]

The Decaying Vase is a good name for this piece. Good job. Keep up good work.

[@joycemiller6188]

the color and grain are really lovely. it is a beautiful piece

[@williamfawkes8379]

Ugly wood us my favorite wood, pretty much perfectly sums up my own philosophy. Good show!

[@walnutclose5210]

Love it. Ugly wood is my favorite also. I am in awe of your control and skill with the external gouge and the hollowing tool. One thing I do with wood that is barely competent enough to support being a hollow form like this, is to bind it more firmly together on the inside of the hollow form using penetrating epoxy. Particularly when the wood is a bit punky or barky, you can easily get 1/16" and more penetration of the surface that hardens into much stronger layer supporting the piece from the inside. If the blank is particularly challenging, I will hollow well before final outside turning and finishing, and build up a significant hard epoxy layer inside before finish turning.

[@mellissadalby1402]

That's a really interesting Burl, maybe you should name it Milton. That could be a pretty cool base for a lamp perhaps.

[@MikeHolton]

I love that stepped drill bit idea! I'm going to give it a go :)

[@j.w.3345]

So beautiful! I will admit....I was hoping it wouldn't detonate while turning. It proves you are a true master at your craft! J.W. in Massachusetts.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@robertdana7598]

Been a subscriber for a long time. I really enjoy all of your videos, beautiful work, both the woodworking and the video production. Thank you. Would you mind posting a description of the hollowing tools you used in this video?

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks 👍 I use hollowing tools by Simon Hope woodturning

[@stephenkrall7609]

You get some of the coolest wood to work with. Beautiful piece!

[@petershipman7314]

[@jillianbelan8946]

Magnificent, an object of beauty that is only in this world because of your creativity and skill. ❤

[@johannperaus6890]

Hi Andy! From firewood to fantastic work 👌. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹.

[@rennaehanson9996]

What a beautiful vase Andy! ❤❤❤❤

[@KathyRoka]

The precision of your hand is amazing! Keep up the great work!

[@vickiefowler1429]

Really beautiful! Honestly, I expected it to cut through in some places or not stay all connected. What a marvel!

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful, Andy! Really amazing work!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@annlaurie1484]

Wow, what a beautiful piece. 😊

[@christalbailey6158]

Love the marbling in this piece. You've worked wonders with that Medusa-lookin piece of wood!

[@SandieBrecken-ik9uk]

I've always loved this kind of wood great job Andy

[@alangibb3100]

What a smashing piece mate well done.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@randyrandolph9709]

You never disappoint sir always beautiful work.

[@annprett8307]

A thing of beauty love your videos

[@och70]

So different, and so cool. Some of the wood grain patterns looks like the surface of another planet.

[@HuhHowboutThat]

This one made me a bit nervous, but you ended up in perfect shape, of course! Another beauty!

[@OldMtnGeezer]

Stunningly beautiful. Well done. 👍

[@JERLAV]

What a piece! Absolutely fantastic!

[@kathleenorr9237]

You always manage to coax out something beautiful from unlikely pieces of wood 🙂

[@areasevenpro]

I'm glad I logged in for another Andy Phillip video. 🪵

[@thomaslemonds8493]

As usual, beautiful work!

[@lyndaowen2154]

might have started ugly but definitely turned out very pretty -- nice work

[@pwman]

Andy Phillip, the Mikey of wood turning! Great work Andy!

[@lakeshjasarevic4955]

A whole new take on "one man's trash"... That's amazing, unique and very beautiful! Thank you for sharing Andy!❤

[@och70]

So true. I've said the same thing about many, many of his projects.

[@mortwin6054]

all ways like you work and the skills you have try wood turning ones my self many years a go but the tool i was using ended getting suck in the celling ops LOL :)

[@williamellis8993]

Beautiful, Andy. I'm glad no resin was involved with this one. Bill

[@arabellachampaq689]

Yes, Bill, it surprised me

[@RenaLarson61]

Andy, I love that you can take a very ugly piece of wood and turn it into a work of art, absolutely beautiful natural edge vase.

[@serafinopinoccio]

This is the most unique piece amongst the hundreds of videos on wood turning I’ve watched for the last 10+ years. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 I’m speechless. Very unique piece!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@serafinopinoccio]

@@AndyPhillipWoodturning ✌️🙏🏻

[@deangustafson7533]

Another beautiful creation!

[@brendadriver2702]

Wow, just wow! That is amazing wood!

[@DarkVoidIII]

I think part of the burl section did partially detach. I was thinking you'd have cast it in resin. A nice small amount of transparent resin around the burl area to set it in place properly could have done the trick! It turned out well anyway! 😃

[@adhambarbour]

Yeah I started to realize that too. But I definitely need to be more careful, but it's a good learning experience.😅

[@bibberp4036]

Prior to finding your channel, I was frequently having to buy new shirts. So many wood turning videos on KZbin and I was struggling to watch someone else carve another vase or bowl I was vomiting constantly, ruining shirts, upsetting my wife and eventually had to replace shirts at Walmart. I am again enjoying wood turning videos and have begun again to get my shirts at higher quality stores. Thank you.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

🤣🤮👍

[@mindyhill4573]

That is fabulous!!!

[@ExpatInEurope]

Stunning work!! 😍🤩

[@36marty]

Only you Andy could take a lump of ugly wood and give us something so beautiful!!! Love your work.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@NotsoGonzo]

Always a good day when Andy puts another lathe vid up

[@LJ-qk8ui]

Gorgeous!

[@nancyhooper3360]

That is pretty beyond belief! ❤

[@MarcWeertsMusic]

Wonderful! Love to see these interesting shapes in the wood...

[@rebelangel1164]

Gorgeous vase! All without epoxy/resin enhancement. See? It still can be done.

[@albertdawson6814]

Very enjoyable video. Also a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing. See you on the next one

[@884C25]

the ugly duckling became a beatiful swan.

[@TheLtData]

This piece sure has some character! Nice😊

[@noahcount7132]

It may be ugly wood to begin with, Andy, but your magic touch transforms it to an object of exquisite beauty. 👍

[@rjung_ch]

Nice 👍💪✌

[@colinwatmore7041]

Lovely vase Andy, Phil Anderson said you were worth watching and he was right, now subscribed. Do you ever put voice overs on, as it would be nice to hear which tool, which finish, what wood etc. Just the thought process behind the turning. I too like to rescue wood from the fire. At our local wood yard they discard and chuck on their fire small olive burls and root ends as they dont sell them for firewood (keep going out). I've had some really interesting stuff from them. Looking forward to your back catalogue and next video.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Colin .. I leave the talking videos to Phil .. I do put some info in the video description, and try to answer any questions I get in the comments..

[@gerryhuntman]

Beautiful result - excellent vision.

[@betsyeardly5199]

Gorgeous ❤❤❤

[@mirqooohoo7392]

Love that line in a half of wood, what a masterpiece - not expected :)

That is absolutely one beautiful piece of work. Love the curve, it looks like it ought to ripple when you move it.

[@vonettastumblingbear2997]

Beautiful!

[@FayAlexGG]

Lovely

[@cobberpete1]

The Ugly duckling 'turns' into a Beautiful Swan. 😊. I have to admit, I look twice at firewood before it ends up in the fire. Quite a few pieces have been set aside.

[@KOTEC525]

so beautiful!!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you!!

[@arnhemseptember2009]

Love it!

[@EngelsNederfiele]

There are some fantastic growth effects giving off a multitude of colours, mottles and swirls, you might not have achieved the total result you hoped for because of the way the wood had grown, but to stop when you did seems the best call from an aesthetic point of view.

[@jodidavis6595]

Just beautiful Andy. You never disappoint 🇺🇸👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer]

Wowzer Andy!

[@brendanfoy3207]
