I love how the wood comes to life when you put the finish on it. It tells it's own story.

[@TRUCKTUBEGAME]

God, what a beauty! The men behind the machine are like idols, and Ashley is full of emotions, the body wriggles and a creation with a soul is born! Ashley's creation! Greetings from Belarus!🙂

[@hi_wifi_guy]

The great artists make it look so easy.

[@loucinci3922]

You make it look so easy. Enjoy watching you turn. Thanks for sharing.

[@philvale5724]

Hi 👋, Ashley Harwood, I hope you are all keeping safe and well, I think that I can say from everyone in the wood turning community that we have missed you, just not your pretty face but you’re amazing work, you did mention that you had moved and you had had problems with your building project, are you likely to start work again soon or have you started another channel?, Stay safe., Phil from the moulin France.

[@malcolmmckinsey3927]

You have a great smile, an amazing talent, and a true artist's eye. Thanks for the positivity!

[@paul_domici]

She makes it look sooooo easy!!!

[@anorenbergs]

What a delight it is when you see a woman doing this. Simply beautiful!

[@stephenkeefer3436]

As always it is such a delight to watch you make these beautiful works. Thank you !

[@gavincoyle]

Ashley that's absolutely beautiful, I love Oak and especially watching good chisels cut through it like a hot knife through butter 👍👍👍

[@Grunt49]

Been missing your smiling face.Beautiful vase.

[@bigsabertoothbunny5986]

I do enjoy oak, a highly underrated wood. The finish really brought that piece to life, it looks great.

[@DeansWoodworking]

Beautiful wood and a beautiful piece! Thanks for Sharing.

[@aliabazaid4293]

Beautiful work deserving of recognition, all your works are beautiful and amazing

[@LAP1050]

Ashley, you make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing

[@jefffoggymountainworkshop5021]

Live oak is awesome!! Don’t see many videos of turners using it. Great to see you back on the lathe!

[@redneckdoc1991]

I have a bowl gouge from you and the respirator, thank you for that. Also saw Stuart Batty at SWAT and told him to tell you Hi from me, next time he saw you!

[@g_ross_]

Wow. That is great. I've just got myself a lathe. You are awesome. I'll try turning a bowl first I think. Your videos are great. Well done.

[@curtisbancroft4070]

Love the grains of oak and another great video. Thanks for sharing

[@mrbodawg]

Another great video! I received your new 1/2" Bowl Gouge, thank you for the great packaging, and it's an absolute pleasure to use! Thank you!

[@MrDfurlong]

Live oak has a wonderful grain pattern. Excellent technique.

[@donaldadams5342]

Another delightful little project with good shape & a lovely finish on great grain too. Great video so thanks for sharing Ashley. Don from South Aust.

[@raydriver7300]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful 🌞

[@dbat9594]

All I can say is WOW!!!!

[@joeywalker4392]

Fantastic bud vase. Your videos are a pleasure to watch.

[@lenniereagan2362]

Beautiful work! Thank you, Ashley!

[@Susan0716able]

Beautiful work as always. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks, Dave over in middle Tennessee.

[@grumpyswoodturning7390]

Outstanding job Ashley. The grain of the live oak is simply beautiful. You’ve yet to turn something I’ve not liked. I need to make a vase for our daughters wedding 💐 at her table. I just completed the lidded box our little nephew will be carrying her wedding rings to the front of the barn / wedding chapel. You’ve done a great job as always. ....🇺🇸GrUmPy🇺🇸....

[@josephhyland8904]

Beautiful piece. At first, I thought you were going to make a completely hollow vase. Then, you mentioned putting a test tube in the hole, and that makes a lot more sense. Now I have something to do with a lot of my scrap blanks-once I unearth my lathe again. C'mon, who doesn't love sanding?

[@111111111Tiger]

GREAT job Ashley, glad to see a new vid from you !

[@kimr5841]

I have never seen a live oak turning. That tight grain is stunning. Thank you for doing your videos in an easy to follow and learn from format. This is one of my favorite turning sites.

[@markfishburn8284]

Very nicely done, the piece has a beautiful shape and a wonderful grain pattern. Thank you for sharing your video.

[@johnpargeon5690]

Outstanding bud vase!

[@williampeak8851]

You make it look so easy, beautiful job 👍

[@johngrace199]

Perfect timing Ashley...I'm going to be turning some vases next month from left-over shop scraps. Love that shape...I'm definitely going to copy that shape.

[@thecreativetake]

The vase had a nice shape and finish. I liked your parting off technique.

[@edwinleach7401]

Very nice. Proportions spot on.Thanks for sharing.

[@johnsloan6836]

Hello Ashley, safety was drummed into me when I first started turning some 60 years ago. I am amazed how many turners I see on these videos with baggy sleeves,open toed sandals among a lot of other items including large fancy watches ! I have seen some graphic videos regarding accidents on the lathe. Why do you need a watch on your wrist when turning? You turn some lovely items but please, lose the watch. Best Regards.John

[@petebland2321]

I always look forward to your videos, you explain your process so well and the footage with your voice is very engaging. Very much looking forward to seeing the next video, thanks from Wales.

[@jackthompson8019]

Beautiful bud vase Ashley.

[@tonyburelle6633]

So incredibly beautiful what a fabulous job

[@Cradley684]

That look's great Ashley, really nice, have a nice day & Stay Safe. Brian UK !!!.

[@davidcrandell1172]

Another beautiful piece Ashley. Thank you for posting.

[@joerash9020]

Always enjoy your videos

[@jeanlong4285]

The vase is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@KarlBunker]

Beautiful wood and a beautiful piece! Congrats on the release of your own line of tools. 👏

[@dalepage5511]

Great grain! Thanks for doing this for us.

[@Daleswood24]

What a gift - for you and us ;)

[@MrLohan1000]

My gawwd how beautiful can you be! 😍

[@rosascreativeworks5403]

Amazing! I'm going to have to try a lathe project one of these days. Was great to watch your process. Excellent.

[@sunigamage2699]

It's very nice ❤

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

Very nice piece!

[@1bike10]

I love the sanding!

[@bobbyfowler7319]

Wonderful work! Thank you! I haven't tried any live oak, yet. I have some logs "resting" thanks for sharing. Be safe, be cool! Beach, NC

[@bigsal9999]

Very nice piece.

[@pschaumann533]

Amazing thank you Ashley!!

[@woodman3416]

Beautiful project!

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

😂😍 Love that thumbnail, queen

[@annlaurie1484]

Beautiful piece 😄

[@jacquejecker4435]

I just started turning live oak fairly recently, when I moved back to Texas. It was not available in Arizona. I love the interesting grain patterns. I have a pretty good stock of it now.

[@umlooad]

Hi great wood joice, I´m not so sure about the design of the upper part but it´s a matter of taste. Nice video, thanks.

[@jaircruz2118]

Magnífico, perfeito estou aprendendo com vc👏👏

[@СвС1986]

Молодец!!! Красивая девушка, делает красивые изделия!!!

[@daveklein2826]

Beautiful

[@johnfogg7858]

The vase is nice, too!

[@XavierPil]

the images are beautiful! do you have a cameraman? Very nice wood work too

[@bryanwentzel5565]

I've recently turned a live oak caulking mallet and did a ammonia fume finish the grain popped

[@C0r0net440]

Hi Ashley. I inherited a chunk of Guanacaste and am thinking about making candlestick holders or bud vases. How stable is it to turn? What is your opinion? Thanks for any suggestions. Jeff

[@Stillnapie]

The bud vase... So simple and yet so difficult to get right. Rude Osolnik turned them by the thousands many made from offcuts from veneer mills. Very nice design and execution.

[@MH-qq3kj]

Beautiful 👍

[@marswood5859]

Wonderful. Why do you use so many different roughing gouges?

[@alancole6912]

Hi Ashley. In a few of your videos I see you use a very small, wide, detail scraper to finish the exterior of some pieces. Is that a tool you offer for sale or do you have a link for it. It seems very handy. Thank you!

[@denisvienat849]

Très jolie Ashley bravo 👍

[@wdukes1327]

I love live oak, but it can be a real bear to dry without cracking down here in Florida. Did you use a kiln for that piece?

[@davidfriedman3962]

Do you have a recommended walnut oil wax?

[@kanapodcreate7048]

Hi,., Ashley Harwood ,. have a nice day.

[@timtoulson9662]

Ashley that is beautiful! How long does it take you to produce the vase please?

[@ianrichards2430]

As always, informative and entertaining. Out of interest Ashley, what speed were you turning ( and sanding) at ? Ian UK

[@davidpoll220]

Awesome result with the live oak. It is a beautiful piece. Did you use any sanding sealer off camera? I am new to this and always thought that was pretty much a given. Thanks for the video. Can't wait to try it myself Dave

[@ndothan]

Can you tell me about your respirator? I'm looking for something like that to keep the dust and fumes out of my lungs and nose lol

[@TheAcidmyers]

what tube did you use for the insert?

[@ibrahimibrahim-px6yv]

Good 👍 luck girl

[@danoneill2846]

Thanks

[@MisterTee2010]

Only you could do something so magical sweetheart. Love you. Love what you do. God Bless and stay safe.

[@gianlucamaccioni6876]

Complimenti 🔝🔝👍

[@jamescampbell7780]

Ashley, can you confirm that your tools go straight from the grinder to the workpiece. I’ve always understood that they need to be honed as well, but it looks like I’ve been misled! Greetings from Scotland.

[@hotrodhog2170]

I know a guy that goes from an 80 grit wheel straight to the lathe. Check out Woodturner21. He's from somewhere in the UK I think.

[@BillB23]

Do you ever use the shavings to burnish after sanding? I've found it to be quite useful.

[@hull99]

I believe no, but that's why she wears a respirator.

[@BillB23]

@@hull99 That full face rig is the most comfortable way to go. Nose and mouth masks fog my specs.

[@herkhaston1915]

What is the head gear and where does the hose lead to

[@ColeSpolaric]

The production quality is even more amazing! The only thing for me at least was the music was a little too loud considering you have such a soft voice.

[@د.ساميصقر]

You are very active and one of God's beautiful creatures

[@fashionwoodwork4623]

Yes good jop 🤝💐👑

[@patrikhafstrom8954]

Amazing as always! You know that. But now you have become more like the smiling weathergirls on TV. And the next but 🙂the music overlay is awful. I want to hear more of the sound of the wood and your work. Whith love from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@arthurwilliams3353]

What lathe machine you have

[@jimmorrison1427]

👍🏼😊

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Waxing and buffing truly compliment your fine work..

[@mikepruett1745]

is the helmet a 3m??

[@NiHaoMike64]

When parting things off, Quinn Dunki catches the part with a piece of cardboard held underneath.

[@KarlBunker]

"Aaaaannnnnd Yahtzee!" 😊 Different kind of lathe turning though.

[@Balsamancnc]

Usually very small parts.

[@craigsummerville8823]

Sketching doesn’t work for me as the wood always has a mind of its own, so I take solace in what David Ellsworth told me when I asked him about his sketching habits. His response was, “I sketch with my gouge.” Something I have found very helpful when refining the shape of a vessel is (with the lathe OFF!) to close your eyes and run your hand over the piece. With your eyes closed your hands will become more sensitive to subtle variations in the vessel’s profile and transition areas.

[@EMWoodworking]

Do you have overhead dust collection? For when you’re sanding.

[@pedroeldoroveri1275]

👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@Richard-zs4nd]

Does anyone know the music at the start of the video ?
