Woodturning some of the coolest Spalted wood I've seen !!

I've had this half Ash log lying around in the workshop for a couple of years, it has some really cool spalting and I wanted to try and show it off. I thought a Natural edge winged bowl would look good and I could keep the original shape but it was not the easiest thing to turn, with the wings to deal with and it being an end grain turn ..

Some times I want to scream stop, your shaving all the beauty away, but then I stop and tell myself, nah he's just enhancing the awesomeness of the piece the deeper he goes. ❤️❤️❤️

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

I some times scream the same thing lol 👍

[@missharry5727]

Not sure how much I like the result, but the concept, the craftsmanship, and that stunning spalted grain are amazing.

[@veronikavolhejnova5036]

I cannot wrap my head around the part where you thin the wings - seems impossible to do (and not overdo it), but you somehow manage to stay in control - love your work!

[@raeannshinabarger875]

Beautiful. To me, it looks like it's covered in a hydro dipped painting of a map from a fantasy novel.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks .. It is a crazy piece of wood 👍

[@rayshelld791]

Had my new wood flooring done in a spalted maple, because I love the Spalting so much. Same with your bowl. Beautiful.

[@areasevenpro]

It's always good to watch an Andy Phillip video before logging out.

[@36marty]

Hello Andy, I always start watching your videos,( rubbing my hands together) thinking... "Right where is he going with this 1. And man you've done it again. Lovely piece of wood, beautiful grain. And i thought you were making a giant letter T. Love your work!!!!

[@honodle7219]

Those sharp corners you left on the tips of the 'wings' are sure to be an enduring joy to the owner every time they get bit by one of them.

[@Craftlngo]

I was afraid that the wings would go flying any time soon. Spaltet wood is not the strongest and the wings are across the grain 😬 but everything stayed in one piece! What an awesome result

[@jenerhart7025]

It looks like an old map. Gorgeous!

[@victoriaeads6126]

It looks like a captive bowl a-like the tree grew around the bowl and you just showed us where it was hidden. Pretty cool!!

[@AuntK68]

Not sure where you were headed at the beginning - but that's why you're doing and I'm watching! 😂 Love the spalting in this piece!

[@s.r.nulton9480]

It turned out differently that I thought it would, and it is truly gorgeous!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks

[@AdamjacobiGIA]

Took me most of the video to figure out what you were going for, but when it came together -- wow! One of the most remarkable pieces you've ever made. Cheers and thank you!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Cheers Adam 👍

[@pflick13]

It takes a large set of stones to wood turn an airplane propeller. You never cease to amaze me my friend!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

🤣 Thanks

[@LynnCindy]

That was so freaking cool, and that spalting really does add to the appeal of the piece's appearance. Just WOW!!! Thanks for sharing the creation of another unique piece of art.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Lynn

[@janetdoecke4391]

I love white ash, it's so pretty!

[@TheMadSqu]

Even though the wood is cool it is your creativity and craftsmanship what makes the piece truly outstanding.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@craigjensen789]

I love that you added a third dimension to this piece. Now I can throw my boots on and head to work.

[@alanbennington2641]

Beautiful, the end result reminded me of a butterfly with open wings!

[@windswepttwigg]

Awesome pice Andy. I think what you do is great. I have the same lathe as you, it was a dream come true when I brought it, after some health issues I won't bore you with watching this has made me want to get to the bottom of my log pile and have a go. Thanks for the video pal, as always pure excellence. 👍

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks David .. Its been a great lathe, does everything I need 👍

[@james-lk3si]

I knew I should’ve taken shop back in HS. Incredible work. Love the videos

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@amandatallis9875]

Hi Andy WOW what an amazing piece of wood love the spalting grain it's fabulous. The winged bowl is fantastic what a brilliant idea loved watching the transformation, it really is another unique plece of woodturning done by yourself. You are a clever woodturner and you have good craftsmanship skill. Thanks for yet another fabulous video from Amanda xx

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Amanda

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

I am always impressed by what you can see in a piece of wood that one was particularly beautiful ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@JaneG58]

I’d happily jettison something from my shelves to make room for this! Beautiful piece, as always. Thank you, Mr Phillip.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Jane

[@cubesofspinach]

Can feel the vibrations from this one in my noise cancelling headphones. Lovely stuff

[@chandarussell]

Wow. You’re right. The spalting is amazing.

[@kumiejoubert-vanniekerk8794]

This is so beautiful! It is one of my absolute dreams to be able carve wood as beautiful as that!

[@lyndacarter5090]

Very cool; you could mount it on a wall with an electric candle for a one-of-a-kind sconce. Gorgeous piece of wood, creative form, ended up a very unique, special piece. Nice work.

[@robertprobert7236]

Good made to loo easy I got lot to learn

[@davidjowett8195]

Andy, thank you for sharing what is, possibly, the nicest turned bowl I've seen. Admittedly you had some help from Mother Nature, but you treatment of the piece is superb.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks David .. mother nature was the boss I just went along for the ride 😂

[@andrahackl2778]

Thank you for the inspiration. I have similar pieces of wood lying around and never knew what to do with them.👍🏼

[@grisslebear]

Hmmmm...🤔🤔🤔... can't decide if it's amazingly beautiful, or beautifully amazing. Either way I love what you did.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

😆Thanks Brad

[@hfbowerndesigns810]

Wow you were not kidding on the spalting on this one. It is a masterpiece of nature on full display Take care my friend and enjoy the trekking Cheers Andy Harold

[@alexclark6777]

Yes, the spalting is beautiful, but I'm truly impressed with the elegance of that form. Love the way the bowl is "rising" through the wood, it enhances the natural beauty.

[@rennaehanson9996]

What a creative, beautiful piece! At first I was like what is he doing. LOL but it came together beautifully, and I agree with everyone that's spaulted wood is just gorgeous.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Very cool, Andy! Great way to handle an oddly shaped piece! 😄 Phil

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Cheers Phil .. I liked the shape and the spalting so I thought the best thing to do would be to whack a bowl in the middle ..lol

[@margaretcassidy7830]

I really love the look of the wood grain. It is so beautiful. I wish it was mine when you are finish. Again I wish it was mine.

[@MillerWB87]

Absolutely beautiful!!

[@judyhartmann3071]

[@sweetlandsheatingcooling9039]

Dang that is beautiful! Love all of it, the design, the spalting, i can appreciate the sanding time involved. Thanks for posting.

[@frankierzucekjr]

It's definitely different, that's for sure. Beautiful wood too. Now you have a place to put your eating utensils, and/or side dishes lol.

[@tomswindler64]

Gorgeous piece,all I can say is you killed it.kudos 😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Tom

[@goatflieg]

My first thought was how deadly those flailing wings would be if a hand or wrist went askew. Good thing you're a professional. ;)

[@pflick13]

I love the end product! sweet!

[@ValioMadre7]

Simply awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you

[@angelataylor4540]

Beautiful and unique as always

[@Coxeysbodgering]

WOW! Amazing piece with phenomenal spalting and grain.

[@kathleenorr9237]

A very unique piece…wasn’t sure where it was going but then Wow!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks

[@bigfoot1465]

I’ve done some square bowl and natural edge bowls where the wood surfaces seem to disappear, but never to that extent. I have been a nervous wreck on the ones I did trying to feel for the surface and really don’t know what you’re doing till you stop. Great job and hope your weren’t as nervous as I was watching you!

[@MsBee777]

That is one gorgeous piece!!!! I love it! Well done

[@mariannesmith9404]

Absolutely beautiful. You are a true artist.

[@ferntaylor5347]

So beautiful!💜

[@jackthompson5092]

Great job Andy.

[@Destros2ndone]

this wood looks like a old ancient map :o so cool, even a flat piece would be an awesome wall decoration :D

[@traceyrice]

What a beautiful piece of work, Andy! Amazing job! 💜

[@MJA6995]

Amazing. Based on what I have seen you turn, I imagine you go through live centers quite often. You have a great talent.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thankyou

[@samanthadean1083]

If you made a second bowl,you could have a set that fits together!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@robertgolden1080]

Outstanding.

[@dtork47]

Great looking piece Andy, well done! Cheers

[@rosemariem1531]

Fascinating

[@user-lh4tm3fv2z]

Ваша работа завораживает. Очень хочется посмотреть до конца и увидеть , а что же получилось? И всегда замечательный результат. В руках волшебника простая деревяшка становится произведением мастера!!!

[@robmcgrath5202]

Andy, your creativity is one of the things that attract me to your videos. I really like to turn spalted wood myself, even though it comes with its own set of difficulties. For example, I am very familiar with the need and practice of using a thin CA glue to stabilize the wood (after getting a rough shape) to keep it from breaking apart. I assume, based on the shavings you made afterward, that's what you were brushing on the outside prior to finishing it. Because your videos not only inspire but teach (whether you intend that or not), I'd like to suggest that when you do something like brushing something on that you show the product or at least add text to the screen explaining what it is so others may learn from it. Another beautiful piece.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Rob .. I used several coats of sanding sealer/ thinners mix and some CA around parts of the bark and any punky bits.. I put a bit of info in the description but definitely need to add more .. Cheers Andy

[@Seelenschmiede]

Yes, please add more infos. I was curious why you oiled it and then turned it again. Seems to not been oil...

[@johnsingleton531]

Stunning piece of wood: Fantastic avant garde shaped piece!

[@davidsimpson2685]

Beautiful .

[@williamellis8993]

Really nice, Andy. That spalting is definitely cool. I don't think I've ever seen a winged bowl quite like that one. Bill

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Bill

[@kristianhumberstone5048]

stunning.

[@Pipemonkey]

O’ my lord, that’s grain is in another level. You worked it to perfection 👍

[@kimberleymatheson9219]

Simply gorgeous. Another piece very well done.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks Kimberley

[@alanbregar4983]

That turned out just great and what a grain in that piece. WOW

[@thespaniard1810]

I love the spalted wood, it gives so many tones and patterns. It's a shame you don't have the other half of the log to make a mirrored pair of bowls.

[@randyrandolph9709]

Awesome work as always sir 👏.

[@daveyodals1996]

Maddest piece yet!

[@victorg5077]

Amazing!
