Andy i am a retired Nurse who did a very very small amount of woodturning in my early 40s and i loved it but it was what most people think when you say woodturning, stair spindles! I have been watching several of your videos and i am truly in awe. You give a whole new meaning to wood turning/carving and it is absolutely beautiful. I have fallen back in love with wood because of you but i am now 70 and know it wouldn't matter what equipment i had i could never dream of producing what you produce. You are a wood artist. Congratulations. You are incredibly talented and i wish i could afford one of your pieces as it would have pride of place in my living room. Keeeep turning!

I’m ceaselessly amazed at how craftsmen like you are able to visualize a piece of art from within a piece of wood that would otherwise be rotting in the woods somewhere. For the longest time, I’ve just been using RU-vid to watch you and Matt Jordan. Love and admiration from 🇺🇸.

This is the first time I've seen someone work with Yew like this. I had no idea it had such color variation. I love how you worked with the nature and shape of the wood and didn't try to fill in the voids. The finished piece is so interesting, so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

4:09 GOOD HOLY GOD THE PURPLES that is incredible. i thought i have seen the best of the best in woodturning already but i mean this has to be the most gorgeous thing ever turned

IDK if it's just me but does anyone else find this sort of thing mesmerizing as well as therapeutic?!

I see others turn roots but they don't turn out anywhere near that perfect. You have an exceedingly Gracious gift. Beautiful!

Неожиданное, смелое решение! 😊 Великолепный результат! 👍 Вы - великий Повелитель красивого дерева! ❤️ Здоровья Вам и новых шедевров! 🙏

Вот где философия жизни - Мастерстве и Ремесле. Спасибо за творчество! Респект вашим Золотым Рукам и Светлой Голове!

How a person would thumbs down on this video is totally beyond me 🤷🏻‍♂️. This is meditative and peaceful at minimum.

This piece needs to be displayed on a slow turning stand - then stared at for 5 minutes to take in the amazing grains mined out of that ugly little stump. My life looked like that stump before Jesus healed my brokenness. Now (30 years later) it’s beautiful like your work. Such a fine finished product Andy. Truly one of a kind, a small marvel.

Какая красота!Вы мастер своего дела!чем закрученней коряжка тем красивее рисунок изделия из дерева получается!очень нравятся ваши работы 👍👍👍👍🇰🇿

This might be my favorite piece I’ve ever seen turned. Wow 🤩. Would make an amazing lamp. Like low warm light in a cabin type I’m thinking.

I love how you manage to accentuate the beauty of what Mother Nature already created. It's a work of art!

There are people, many people, who can look at a tree and marvel at the beauty of nature, but it takes an artist to look beyond the surface and reveal the real wonder that lies beneath and enhance it even more. You, sir, are that artist. This is such a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing your vision and your skill with everyone.

I can't stop looking at these videos. The hidden treasures in the wood brought out by the artist. AMAZING

Another absolutely gorgeous sculpture….the colours are so lovely…I like to watch these videos before I go to bed as it counteracts the horrors of the day in 2021.

I like the natural wood and the grain movement is unreal. This is one of my favorite pieces.

Природа создаёт бриллианты, а Вы создаёте для них драгоценную оправу!!!!

I cannot say enough just how much I love that piece. The color variations in the wood are so amazing. I'm glad that you didnt use any epoxy or other materials with this piece. The grain is so beautiful on its own

Oh my gosh‼️ what a SPECTACULAR job‼️ The grain is magnificent!!! A beautiful job well done!!

Красота невероятная! Это надо же увидеть в коряге будущий шедевр. Высший пилотаж, восхищению моему нет предела. 👍👍👍👍👍

Beauty, in its purest form, is exquisitely revealed. All accomplished without a word.

Yew is my favourite wood, the contrast of cherry and birch colours. The purples are rare! And this is exquisite... I am in love 😍

That's a very beautiful piece. I can only imagine how nerve racking it must have been to hollow it out. Amazing work

As a landscaper I have pulled -by hand- 100s of yew stumps over the years(taxus). The part where you drill the heart out..... it felt like that last root finally gave for me. Thank you! Cathartic!

RU-vid recommended this to me randomly. As a first time viewer with zero experience or real interest in woodworking, this was interesting enough to keep me for the whole thing. Good job.

Having reduced yews several times and knowing how quickly they can go through chains, I can only tip my hat to your chisel sharpening skills. Beautiful end result, I love how you tailor your approach to each piece, but yew is a special wood and it certainly looked fantastic when you'd finished. Thank you for the upload.

A classic example of where you're not paying for the labour hours - although obviously, there are plenty of those - you're paying for the years of expertise and the vision to create something beautiful out of a piece of "waste wood". The skill in using the chisel so smoothly despite all the different densities and voids is amazing. And so too with using things like that circular jig to keep things in place while doing the interior - people who really know their tools and can come up with great solutions to tricky procedures are fascinating to watch. It's also great that these craftspeople can promote their work to a wider audience and hopefully earn a bit of extra revenue doing so. I know how hard it is for artists to make an actual living at their work. Finally, the person who said that this retained the character of the wood perfectly was spot on. Not in the slightest bit over-finished - just smooth and beautiful with the colours bought out perfectly with that subtle non-plasticky finish.

Какая красота! Мастеру браво! Разглядеть в обычном корне такую красоту - это дорогого стоит.

That’s one of the most beautiful natural pieces I’ve ever seen turned

Не перестаю удивляться как получаются такие шедевры ❤

Congratulations Mr: Andy. You used to give a new chance for the old woods; They have been born again !

I LOVE watching wood turning videos. Each finished piece is a gorgeous masterpiece. But I do usually find myself saying, "I wish they'd left just a little more of the wood in there, somehow the full character of that beautiful piece of wood didn't quite make it through.." For the first time, I did NOT say that. It is perfection. ❤

Beautiful piece of art!! Well done!! I'd be proud to have it on display in my home.

Nature reveals her BEAUTY ❤️🙏🏽.....the job of THIS man IS like jewelery , artist 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The natural hues and colors of the wood are amazing!

Рисунок на дереве, просто бомба! И работа хорошая, мастер молодец! 👍

I am reminded of the ugly duckling that became a beautiful swan. You took nature and with a keen eye turned it into a beautiful piece of art.

This wood is beautiful. What a wonderful piece.

В этом произведении можно увидеть не только красоту, карту мира, карту галактики, сотворение человечества но и крах всего живого и помимо того.... Сильная работа большая площадь для хантаста....

Absolutely Gorgeous! You are an artist. Only someone who is a true visionary could have seen the potential in that gnarled old root!

From such a humble beginning that emerged. What else is there to say? GORGEOUS!

the before and after is just jaw dropping. I would have loved to see the holes filled with epoxy resin. But It's a matter of taste. But also ensure that it can be used, not just look pretty.

Thank you for having the talent and vision to reveal this beauty!

That's the most amazing thing I have ever seen....to be able to bring out the inner beauty of that root. Beautiful!

Браво мастеру.Это просто бомбическая ваза получилась!!!Завораживающее зрелище по обработке коряги,в начале даже страшно,такой дисбаланс все таки.Понравилось.Красиво.

3AM here and I am watching *woodturning* .RU-vid algorithm, You've done it again👏👏👏

That finished product is gorgeous ! Very, very nice work !

I just inherited a wood lathe, + this video has built- up my confidence to try it out .very cool Thank-You!

Come on now! The most beautifully unique turns to date in my opinion! Absolutely phenomenal! Definitely something to be proud of and deserves to be put on display somewhere for the world to appreciate! Wow! Kudos to you sir! Simply breathtaking!

Невозможно оторваться от просмотра 😍

Oh no you didn't....OH YES YEW DID...lol....Just couldn't resist.... I love how you honored the wood and it's shape(s). In carving out the inside & not shying away from it...showed that you appreciated the wood exactly as it was. Then by sanding the openings so they were smooth all the way around you showed they each had their rightful place in the prominence of the whole. You have a great eye Andy. This is a beautiful piece.

This piece right here...this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen someone create. Bravo!

Stunning, and the colours are beautiful - the purple and lilac against the creamy white is amazing. Quite scary thought - particularly when using the Forstner bit.

Wow! Magnificent!! Not just your art but the colors and the natural grain....im speechless! A definite masterpiece 👌 👏

مبدع . مبدع . مبدع . عمل جميل جدا . تحية طيبة من المملكة العربية السعودية . 🇸🇦

That is one of the most beautiful pieces of wood I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing with us.

Потрясающе! Невероятная красота! Визуально - вещь из мрамора, а на самом деле - из какой-то безобразной коряги... Браво, МАСТЕР! Новых творческих идей Вам. 👍👏🤗

Really a beautiful piece love how you left the holes makes it stand out very unique. love it!!

I'm not into wood turning but I enjoy watching a master at work. Beautiful!

As much as a love this video and how much of an amazing job you did on this piece… the amount of anxiety I get from watching you turn this is immeasurable 😅

♥️♥️♥️GORGEOUS ♥️♥️♥️ doesn’t even begin to describe my feeling for the piece!!! I absolutely love it!!! Very nice job sir

This was amazing! I love the purple pattern against the yellow in contrast, the natural color of this piece is amazing! I'm glad you decided to bring out its beuty! Most would discard this piece! I'm glad you made it something beutiful!

...very well done!...yew took a doorstop and turned it into a beyewtiful work of art!!!...👍

This put me in the most delightful trance of relaxation. Lovely.

Generally, Mr. Phillip, your videos have given me something to aspire to in my own shop. This one just makes me realize that there are skill levels in turning that it is useless for me to aspire to. 99 ways for that to go wrong for every one that resulted in such success, and yet you make it look easy. Absolutely astonishing craftsmanship in this work, and the wood itself came through with stunning colors and texture. World class work.

The profound impression evoked by this remarkable Edge Vessel reminded me of Immanuel Velikovsky, book "Worlds in Collusion." However, it transcends the terrestrial realm and instead alludes to a cosmic ballet of celestial bodies, wherein stars and galaxies engage in a mesmerizing dance of collision. This exquisite composition appears to have successfully encapsulated the resplendent tumultuousness of the cosmos.

So lovely. It looks like a magical planet surrounded by seas. Thank you for your art. S

Looking at you making such beautiful peace of art with a dirty root Make me think about us “We’re all beautifully made , we can be transformed inside out . We’re never too old , ugly and unusable “

That root ball produced some interesting optical effects when it was spinning. I love seeing what results one can get from root balls and burls. Stunning piece! I would give it pride of place!

Супер. Из ничего такая красота! Замечательный современный токарный станок и мастер токарь!

Amazing!! The colours on that thing... looks like Jupiter just exploded..

WOW! What an amazing craftmanship and what a beautiful work of art!

Красота, нет слов. Золотые руки, молодец. 😍😍😍😍😍

So beautiful. I could sit and watch your videos all day long. You do such amazing masterpieces

I don’t like videos very often this one was very well deserved

Amazing work to turn out such a Beautiful piece. Yew'll go far.

BRAVO, Andy! This is beyond words. Absolutely stunning! I can barely walk right now... Phil

What a beauty!!!! You have a real treasure. How fortunate to be able to look at it every day. An incredibly beautiful piece

Would look lovely with multi colour fairy lights flickering in side it. Beautiful markings.❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm glad you kept it in its original form, the colours and patterns are just stunning

ich bin jedes mal verwundert das es funktioniert ohne kaputt zu gehen - grüße vom federl - du hast viel gefühl damit 🤘😎👍💚🍺🖖

That's amazing! Bringing the beauty out in nature!

Вы просто волшебник. Удивительно чувствуете и открываете суть вещей.

Thanks for making a lot of folks happy with your art!

This piece is SO gorgeous! You made that look so easy but I’m sure it’s only because of your skill and subtle touch. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful, amazingly beautiful! Thank you.

The colours make it look like polished rock to me. Amazing how it's come out!

Takes a big set off balls to turn a knotted piece like that. Respect.

Очень замечательно, глазам приятно смотреть человеку, специалисту огромное спасибо здоровья Вам и замечательных поделок.

i cant get enough of your videos , im binging on watching them all you inspired me to get into turning!, when im not watching your video im creating videos on my channel!

Some of the most beautiful bowls I have ever seen have been spalted wood. Stumps that are slightly spalted are just gorgeous! Beautiful work. ❤

I love the irregular organic beauty of this piece.

I gotta admit, at first I was certain you'd fill it full of epoxy. I'm so glad you didn't. This is excellent. Congratulations!

I, for one, am rooting for yew Andy

Beautiful. I waited to see the finish. Exquisite. Vetri South African Indian.

Love how optimistically cautious he is! He is a pro at this for sure love watching him create art! This is very dangerous if you don't know what your doing. Beautiful work of art!

It's like the beauty was always inside and you just found a way to show it to everyone.

I’m only at 4.10 and love the natural colours and different textures 😍

Absolutely gorgeous! I could watch this all day. 👍
