Woodturning - The Root !!

[@ger128]

I like how filling the crack with green epoxy resin allows you to turn what would have been a blemish into an attractive highlight. I think it is a good metaphor for life: blemishes will always be there, but with the right approach they can turn into the start of something beautiful.

[@Catherine-nb1xv]

Who would have thought, such a mucky looking lump of wood could end up as something so beautiful?! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent x

[@mkivy]

Again such talent...I still sit here in the edge of my seat wondering “please don’t mess ur hands up!” I told u I really messed up my thumb when I was In shop class in 1967...I was turning a bowl and the gouge stuck out to far taking my hand with it...pulled the nail out from the root. Owwwwww! Haven’t been on a lathe since. Yet I collect exotic woods and let others make beautiful projects. Thank u for sharing in your world.

[@richardwarfield7386]

Extraordinary - I love the grain and character of the wood. I like the contrast between the finished vase and natural top edge.

[@the_midnight_blues]

Did you known that your videos are the only ones I upvote before I watch them? It's true. I'm never disappointed.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks so much ..glad you like them

[@RuthlynWills]

You seem to know EXACTLY how to bring out the beauty hidden in the pieces you turn!! Thanks for sharing...

[@НиколайГульковский-о2ю]

Красота, возникающая постепенно, "с колёс". Видно, что мастер сначала ещё не знает, как будет выглядеть эта работа по завершении. И постепенно вырисовывается окончательный шедевр!!! Я буквально завис на Ваших работах - это НАСТОЯЩЕЕ МАСТЕРСТВО!!! Спасибо!

[@sweets6259]

GRasstree root is such an intersting wood. The capillaries that you see really make you thing that this is the skin of the tree. As usual beautiful piece.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks

[@Welcometofacsistube]

One night I was watching KZbin and came across your videos Ima machinist by trade After two day of watching said videos I went and bought a wood lathe. Take solitude in the fact you’re changing people’s lives

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thats great ..thanks for the kind words ..

[@Welcometofacsistube]

Andy Phillip you do great work. After watching your videos I said to the wife “ doesn’t look hard to do” After machining for 18 years I should have known better lol. Anyways, still practicing and hopefully I can be as skilled as you

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Wow Andy....that wood has a lot going on! Mini holes, grain, waves, and the resin looks stunning. Beautiful!!! - Ed

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

From what at first looked like a huge blob of mud to a beautiful vase, love the teal epoxy goes perfectly, just goes to show in the right hands something that looks fit for the rubbish is hiding such potential. Well done

Wow! It almost looks otherworldly. So cool. 💜

[@jackierudd6264]

Thanks Andy, that's a very unusual looking wood, I thought at one point it looked as though it had woodworm but realised it was the grain. It was great to see the richness come out with your finishing touch. l love the end product. 😊💖🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Thanks Jackie

At first, I was like, "AHHH! HE'S CARVING GROOT'S HEAD!!!" Then it was all ok once it started to look like a vase... Cool Groot vase!!!😁👍❤

Thanks

[@teresatruman2976]

Another breathtaking work of art. Thank you for sharing your art in motion. :)

[@TheLtData]

I like the rough edges on the top: it's a nice reminder of the origin of this vase being just a lump a natural aged wood.

[@davidnielsen4490]

Very nice. Yes, people seem to forget that wood dust can be very dangerous.

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Thanks .. Its quite easy to turn and on the tools just dusty as hell

[@BigTull655]

I see that a face mask and respirator was in order for this project. Kind of reminded me of walnut the way it turned to dust when being worked. The grain is gorgeous! Beautiful job Andy!!!

[@tonymathesonxvs11001]

Nice piece Andy.I believe it can look smart when inclusions, voids and checks are embellished as opposed to attempts at trying to hide faults in wood with sawdust and glue. Certainly the case with this piece of wood. Congratulations on a really beautiful piece.Regards and best wishes, T.

That turned out (no pun intended) really well, although it looked like tough going for a while and yet i get the impression that you had to be gentle with it.

Andy, Your work is inspirational. Can we have a video of your workshop? Do you start with a lump of timber and then decide what can I make from it, or do you have a project in mind and look for a piece of timber to suit your project?
