Woodturning - A Spalted Ash Vessel

In this video I turn a Natural Edge Vessel from a cool piece of Spalted Beech or is it Ash?? ..I finished the piece with Danish Oil ..

For those of you who are not woodturners, I'd like to point out something TRULY impressive. The tool Andy uses almost exclusively to shape the exteriors of his pieces is called a spindle or fingernail gouge. It is a great shaping tool for relatively flat surfaces but it is almost IMPOSSIBLE for mere mortals to control on any rough surface. If I ever trued to use that tool to do the things Andy routinely and skillfully uses it for (like knocking the bark off), I'd quickly end up with that thing imbedded in my ear. Andy, your skill is truly breathtaking.

[@luncans8291]

What about someone with insane forearm and grip strength?

[@WigglyCoop007]

The amount of sheer control Andy has is unmatched. His hands are so steady and precise that’s what it means to be a skillful wood turner

[@Pre_K]

CNC lathe's would most likely end end in disataster.

[@justanuthaguy8080]

Looks like a bowl gouge, not a spindle gouge. A typical spindle gouge wouldn't hold up to the end grain turning in this video, and shouldn't be tried on end grain turning. That said, this is a nice piece of work. Inspires me to try something different. You don't see many vases turned with end grain orientation.

[@justanuthaguy8080]

@@luncans8291 im guessing you are joking. It's about technique. Strength really isn't the biggest factor. The roughing does take some, but technique / tool presentation is what really matters if someone wants to do this a lot. Once the piece is rounded it is completely about technique, the grip and strength isn't a factor to finish the outside. The tool does the work, the turner steers it in the right direction with a lot of skill. The lathe typically wins over bad technique. Grip strength and Popeye forearms will result in a destroyed piece if that is all a turner brings to the lathe. And, someone could get seriously hurt or even killed. Even the pros get killed sometimes, or has to be taken seriously.

[@lauragranado7048]

There is so much about this project to love: turning air, the top down camera angle when you were turning the inside, the spalted figures in the beech, the shape, and the finish. Another beautifully crafted piece of art!

[@darmocat]

I really appreciate that you don't do voice overs or add music to your videos; you let the work speak for itself. Thank you! your woodturning videos are my favorite to watch :)

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@ericruhlmann6817]

That part around 4:20 when it looks like he is turning thin air... Mind blown.

[@CaseyFinSF]

In some angles it looks like a rolled up ancient map from the middle ages. Beautiful wood👍🏼👏👏🤘😷

[@dynamite9143]

It’s sort of like being an alcoholic - I can’t stop watching!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Good video Andy! Thanks for sharing with us!💖👌👍😎JP

[@WithTheGrain527]

amazing! I would never in a million years thought of mounting it that way around :) inspiring Andy.

[@TheFeralBachelor]

Very nice! Love spalted wood as well. And it's nice to see I am not the only one who turns with gloves on.

[@johnballantyne6853]

Once again you start with a piece of wood that should really be split for kindling, and you finish with a beautiful vase that would take pride of place on my fireplace ! You never cease to amaze me. Thanks again👍🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@shaunfelton2046]

You’re a braver man than I, Andy. There’s no way I’d turn that for fear of injuries! It’s a brilliant piece!

[@WhiteKnightOnWings]

Beautiful pieces as always! I love the swirls of the wood, and the stunning tree rings hidden amongest the swirls! Put a large choco-vanilla ice-cream on top, and voila! Tasty and wonderful art! ;)

[@mk7_dylan468]

2:30 AM. I’m here early, beautiful work as always.

[@matthewharvey8755]

Started watching same time here to lol

[@shirley9240]

Gorgeous! Love how you kept the wood’s natural lines.

[@amberwebb9684]

You are by far my favorite wood Turner. What a beautiful peice of wood and gorgeous grain. I'm so in love with the shape. I can see it holding a bunch of the darkest colored roses. 🌹🌹

[@bodilhoffmann7647]

I absolutely love your art. Even though I live in Denmark I must buy some of your artwork. So much love you have putted into the wood.

[@tomsparks2294]

Fantastic vase. I really love the live edge and how that turned out. Definitely a win

[@johples]

The whole Universe is spinning ! I hope our soules get a little bit more beautyfull , by each turn, like your humble Lumb of Wood . Thanks for sharing🌞

[@chrisgarceau9282]

you made the right call for this piece of wood, it's a work of art

[@davidhakadoober._1-]

Sometimes I imagine that I am learning how by watching and thinking how would I do it differently. Not because I believe I can do better but to make it unique to me. I wonder if many of the people that dislike these videos are simply jealous of the art you create? @Andy Phillip.

[@FromTheHeartWoodMK]

No words, simply perfect, you have such an amazing vision for pieces, so beautiful.

[@chandarussell]

I just love spalted wood. It is so beautiful and the grain is always so interesting. I love this piece and know where’s the perfect place to put it if it were mine.

[@stewartfurini]

Very nicely done, Andy. Turned bottom and maker coin a nice touch. The Hope hollowed looks great - very stable. The finished piece reminded me of a high end gelato cone. Beautiful!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Stewart ..

[@roccobusco5226]

I would never be able to do such nice stuff on my very old 1970 Sears and Roebuck lathe

[@PukaHeadMan]

Dang, who would’ve thought an old chunk of wood would turn into art!? I am so impressed!

[@richardnash6009]

Another fantastic project and great finish thank you 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@ournovascotiaadventure1619]

Positioning really made the spalting stand out, nice work 👍

[@phillipchronister7035]

Beautiful work like usual. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@silverlady1118]

Mesmerising to watch you create this stunning art piece, truly beautiful

[@petepete523]

I am always impressed with how far he puts the chisel away from the rest without it catching. Masterful work as always.

[@Nemodog]

I learned what "spalted" is today. Thank you for showing us this beautiful wood and what your amazing talents can create with it. :)

[@Robster-Craw]

You're insane! When you started hollowing that out it was like the tensest moment of my life. I was expecting a disaster at any second.

[@adampalm4444]

Watching the cutter cleave its way along the groove, into seemingly empty air space, yet yielding wood chips aplenty, always fascinates me.

[@joelaroche7667]

Superlative design! I’d never have thought of that!!

[@jeremy1350]

Hi Andy. Starting with your channel, I have a serious appreciation for "wood" Moving towards the guys who mill their own wood on saw mills. It is a beautiful medium. And I find it meditative to watch you and the others "work wood" to its either milled on a lathe, or milled raw on a mill. Fall Line Ridge and Southern Indiana Saw Mill. My top three wood workers. Another beautiful piece Andy. Hope you and yours are safe and well.

[@luncans8291]

Oh, you make it look so easy. I love your work!

[@johnhendy1281]

Best vase I've ever seen. Ever.

[@jasonvalecruz2048]

andy i truly love all the work you’ve done it’s beautiful.

[@rickpalechuk4411]

Be berry berry careful. Wow that was freaky ...without a steady rest. A beautiful, timeless piece Andy. Thanks for sharing, Cheers

[@gurumania1982]

Oh Man.You are good 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I love your works and style.

[@x-sunelena5766]

I see for the first time this channel, I am upset by your extraordinary ability to model a simple piece of wood and make it a work of art. The lamp with blue plastic resin is a real masterpiece. Congratulations, I would have already gone crazy just for the patience that needs a job like yours. 👍🍀

[@mikebossner6404]

I like all of your turnings and your videos are great. But THAT is a fantastic vessel. Wow! And you are a very fortunate man to have that inventory of splayed beech. Thanks for all the great videos.

[@sandybrecken6871]

Very nice Andy I love this cross grain work

[@gvrose1]

An excellent work of art! Thanks for sharing..

[@dwjr5129]

A very nice piece. Love the live edge with the bark.

[@pflick13]

another beautiful piece my friend...

[@Ta2dMomx3]

I am on awe of this piece!!😍

[@kellyjeanietowne9093]

Wow!!! Just wow. Very nice work.

[@gmanwaseverywhere2104]

Such spectacular beauty, from such an often discarded hunk of wood. You are a master, Andy. Magnificent.

[@justanuthaguy8080]

Nice looking piece. You've inspired me to try something new and turn an end grain vase.

[@elainehoward8822]

Wow Andy, this vase looks so beautiful, don’t ask my why, but to me it looks like it has been made using an old wooden globe. It truly is a beautiful piece xxx

[@AllenOxendine]

Beautiful Piece, thanks for sharing

[@echovr6947]

You are definitely the best I’ve ever seen.

[@peggyw172]

The natural, rough edges are beautiful.

[@FArkhanor]

This has to become the next container of the Olympic Torch, what a piece of art !

[@alrocha3835]

Awesome job. First saw lump of wood then saw a beautiful piece of well done artwork.

[@SiamWoodShop]

Nice work Andy, great design and finish

[@watcherdude1330]

Hi I from 🇨🇦. What an AMAZING piece you created . It’s amazing how you see what’s inside that fire wood log and bring it to life. A wonderful gift you have been given.

[@JWsCoinsandHobbies]

That looked like a really rough one to get started. Awesome creation!

[@oneshotme]

Very beautiful Andy!!!

[@damnoldguy]

In a hundred years one of your pieces will be on a future version of Antiques Roadshow and spoke about with great reverence. Beautiful work.

[@harrycallahan692]

I too am watching Andy create beautiful things at 2 am. What the hell.....no job to go to in the morning..... This one is perfect, Mr. Philip!!!

[@MrBada55B]

Your videos are making the lockdown a bit more bearable, your pieces are beautiful. 1st thing I'm doing when we come out of lockdown and you reopen your online store is buying a piece, hopefully this one if it's still available, my coming out of lockdown treat.

[@user-zp7gn1oi3m]
