Woodturning - The Crack of Gold

[@sksupply]

My uncle here in Oregon turned wood for 45 years. He loves your work even though he wont sign up with KZbin. He is 90 and says hi.

[@Thisismycomment.]

Hi

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Hi ..Thanks 👍

[@irenedavo3768]

Would love to see his work!

[@sksupply]

@@irenedavo3768 His house is full of beautiful bowls and vases. I will get a few when he is gone I imagine.

This reminds me of Japanese kintsugi where goals is used to repair broken pottery. The gold repair shows and creates a new work of beauty.

[@LuinTathren]

It's part of a concept called wabi-sabi (侘寂). It's about accepting the transient nature of the world and finding the beauty in its imperfections. This channel often embraces wabi-sabi. I think that's why I find it so soothing.

[@ExhaustedOwl]

@@LuinTathren I agree! It's the 'imperfections' in the timber that make it so lovely with the resin.

[@proxy9573]

I saw that in a video game (Warframe, specifically) that had pots with golden cracks. I had thought such a thing was fiction until now.

[@faithcampbell1632]

Repairing the cracks with color is called Kintsugi, in the Japanese tradition. It’s absolutely stunning!

[@charlottem.1477]

@@faithcampbell1632 yes, as OP mentioned.

[@fayetiffanyseymour-lunsfor5748]

I fell in love with wood turning this past summer by watching wood turners on KZbin. It's so relaxing to me. And I am sure pretty rewarding. I hope one day I can take a wood turning class! Watching you do the inside of that bowl was MESMERIZING!! You do such amazing work. Thanks for posting all your creations!!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@cokofleischer]

I love that you always include the original peice of wood, that way we can see just how far it's come.

[@humancattoy7767]

I absolutely love the colors of this spalted ash. The gold epoxy and gold flake is a very nice touch.

[@marylynne9104]

So satisfying, and a beautiful use of the natural fissure in the ash. Much more interesting than if the crack had not existed. Thank you for allowing us to watch you at work.

[@deborahkemp7143]

Once again, spectacular. You are a master to bring to life the beauty of the wood grain and patterns. The filled crack adds that extra zip that you are so great with. Thank you for sharing your beautiful pieces and your talent with us.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you

[@lindalloyd8296]

Life goal…. To own one of these gorgeous works of art. Beautiful work, Andy 🤩

[@chazzcombs]

No BS, I was seriously afraid for your knuckles while you were sanding by hand inside with it turning on the lathe. It turned out stunning!

[@youenn2180]

I had never seen spalted ash before , turned just before decay , understood "crack of gold" only in the end , well , it was really worth turning , learned by the way that danish oil is worth using , thanks from a french woodturner !

[@arabellachampaq4433]

The grain is amazing, and I especially appreciate the great photography of this beautiful piece

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@joyfulnoise6556]

WOW! That is a beautiful piece. Love the live edge on this, makes it even better.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you

[@phredrocks]

Thanks Andy for sharing this with us. The patterns of this bowl are incredible & beautiful. The final product is simply gorgeous. Thanks again, fred.

[@chaoticconjuring]

Really beautiful piece! The natural wood grain is stunning and the gold gives it just that perfect little extra!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@sigguy1361]

Beautiful, Andy, just beautiful!! Enjoying your videos very much! Wishing I had more time to turn than just the occasional pen blank!

[@mikeh8228]

There is an interesting art of broken pottery that uses gold metal to fill the cracks...from Japan. Very nice piece...I like the patterns in the wood and the way you cleaned out and filled the crack!

[@mcvenne8935]

The patterns in the wood are truly wondrous. The gold isn't as flashy as I thought it would be. I really like it.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@JaneG58]

Beautiful piece. I love the organic look of your work - a perfectly harmonious meeting of natural beauty and outstanding craftsmanship. Thank you, Mr Phillip.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@brendaspeight2106]

That is beautiful. The wood really popped. Wonderful patterning on it aided by your design of course! Love the gold crack. Thanks for the videos...I love your work.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thank you 👍

[@jussikuusela7345]

The spalted pattern is gorgeous!

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

Oh wow the spalting in the wood is just awesome and amazing. The gold crack and everything is stunningly beautiful and magnificent.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks

[@basedokadaizo]

the fact you went through with this despite the huge knobs makes me realize you do not fear death. beautiful work! makes me think of the Japanese art of filling cracks in pottery with gold. also, butt joke.

[@chrisduitsman2918]

That is one beautiful piece. That spalting really pops, and the gold resin really is a nice accent to the piece. Again really nice work.

[@immortalfae13]

This really turned out beautifully. Wonderful work!

[@tandyjenkins7495]

The patterns it the wood are so beautiful. Beautiful piece.

[@juanitaminch4540]

Very unusual and beautiful bowl, love the grain and gold stripe, and the bark left at the top. You always make one of a kind artistic things, yes.

[@betterbetty3542]

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this channel! Not only do these pieces take a really long time, but the time spent in filming and editing too. Just didn’t want you to think it goes unnoticed! Thank you!

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Wow, just amazing watching these wonderful pieces coming together!!! )

[@carolriley8472]

Wow, just gorgeous! Love the gold and the grain in the wood!

[@squishyshelli]

Whoa, that is gorgeous! Makes me think of the waterfall in Yosemite, when the sunset makes what they call a "firefall" for a few days once a year. 😍

[@lindacarruthers3423]

The grain of this bowl so very beautiful , and the gold streak a wonderful solution as well as being an enhancement . Clever you😊.

[@richkeelan1312]

Real nice spalted piece of material and made a beautiful bowl great job Andy

[@AdamjacobiGIA]

This looks like a dream come true to create. I hope you enjoyed making it as much as we all enjoyed watching it come together.

[@brandyharden2936]

What an amazing piece of wewd! I love what you did with it. Gorgeous!

[@karenb2057]

From the start I got excited about this piece because the grain of the wood was so beautiful! Bravo to you Andy for bringing out the true natural beauty of this piece! 💕😊

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@matthewfoster6620]

Stunning piece of wood to start with, spectacular result.

[@BrickhouseCraftWorks]

So simple, yet so gorgeous! Well done Andy! - Seth

[@noahcount7132]

An exquisitely figured specimen of stock, masterfully converted to a stunning work of art, embellished with a golden highlight. The videography in all of your presentations is worthy of high praise as well, Andy.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@silverlady1118]

Beautiful spalting that your design highlights so well. Love the natural edge and resin colour Enjoyable video, thank you for sharing 😉

[@whiterabbit-wo7hw]

He hit the mother load!! Again Andy, that grain is something else, and your work... Bravo! Magnifico!!

[@richardwiese9054]

Spalting is any form of wood coloration caused by fungi. It definitely created a beautiful pattern in the Ash wood. The gold epoxy added just the right accenting to the natural wood color. Great Job, as is your stand of excellence, Andy!!

[@comradewindowsill4253]

when I see wood that has patterning from an infection, something in me cringes a bit. It’s a lovely work of art for sure, but I just imagine some alien digging up a human skeleton one day that had, say, osteoporosis, and going, “ooo! what a nice aesthetic this bone pattern has”. Never thought I’d empathize with a dead tree so viscerally, but there you go

[@Babbajune]

So beautiful - the patterns and the shades of white in the wood - ❤️❤️

[@coloringwithd]

That wood is gorgeous!!!! Really makes for a nice piece. Thank you for sharing.

[@lilmisstrixie]

Your videos are always satisfying to watch, but watching you ease the resin into place was just * *chef kiss* *

Oh, so beautiful! Nature is the best partner for crafters, no matter which genre you work.

[@LynnCindy]

The wood grain in that piece was quite spectacular, and filling in the crack with the gold flake added just the right accent to the piece. You never cease to amaze me. I admittedly thought that raw piece, when you began, looked a bit dangerous, but you obviously "tamed" it and turned it into yet another collector's item.
