No 5 min intro, no cheesy taglines, no speaking needed. Just quality content the whole way. This is how you youtube.

This is one of those pieces that can be examined for years, yet the viewer will continue to see new details. Bravo!

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.

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

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

It’s amazing to watch the transformation of a rough tree stump to something beautiful!

I remember in shop class in 7th grade, taking to the wood lathe to make a wooden lamp. One of the most rewarding projects I ever had.

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!

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

ALL heavily GRAINED wood is BEAUTIFUL !!! ............................ROOTS , BURLS so on and so forth !!! The FINISHED PIECE IS FANTASTIC & OUTSTANDING !!!

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

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.

I think this man has every tool ever invented ☺️

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

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

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.

BRAVO, Just great, no stupid talking, very relaxing, great job, 👍👍👍👍👍

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

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

Не перестаю удивляться как получаются такие шедевры ❤

Absolutely beautiful!🌳🌲🪵🪓

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

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

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

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

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.

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

It's been a while since I first saw this, but I enjoyed it just as much this time. You do magnificent work. Nature is so beautiful!

There is nothing I can add other than the skill and knowledge of how not to get a tool caught in the process is just amazing. The end product was beyond beautiful.

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.

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

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 this piece.

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

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

I'd pay good money to have this piece in my home. It's gorgeous.

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

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.

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!

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.

Love the hidden colors that are brought out ‼️ I would definitely buy this 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

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

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

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

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

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. ❤

A relatively unremarkable garden shrub is turned in to an extraordinary piece. Hats off to you!

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.

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!

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

Living in Costa Rica 🌴😎🌴we are surrounded by beautiful wood and the tourist shops are filled with wooden art but seeing how much effort, time and loving care it takes to create them was a real joy watching this video.

Thankyou SIR WHOEVER U R !! This video is just remarkable. You’ve been taught in art? Woodwork? How to choose the right pieces of wood? Finished product Is indeed a beautiful wood grained work of art ,I say. The beauty of wood! Showing inside of wood. Your shed must have every lad’s excitement to have . All very good,interesting. Men and machines. 😮😊

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

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

That's the best 'Big Beautiful Chunk O' Wood Video' I've ever seen! Some people are into BBW, or BBC, but I'm now officially a BBCOW enthusiast!! Keep em' coming! :)

Absolutely Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. 😊

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

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

Absolutely beautiful. Both of my brothers who have now payed away were woodworkers .I really appreciate your amazing craftsmanship.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING ARTISTRY!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

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.

Just wish my Old DAd was still around to see this video. He'd have been frothing at the mouth enjoying it. THANKS SO MUCH.

Newbies: This is how you make a successful YT video. No clickbait title, no yapping endlessly, it’s to the point, no leading on the viewer, etc. Outstanding job!!!

I was mesmerized! What a beautiful project showing your wonderful skills and a sweet original hunk of tree root with that lovely interior. Thank you for sharing!

beautiful. thank you. A true artist and artisan.

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

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

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.

Wow! In my wildest imagination, I never thought that ugly tree root would birth such a beautiful work of art!

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

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 “

Looking at the finished product is not only pleasing to the eye, but calming. I had to look at it a little longer. So beautiful.😊

maybe this is just my own ignorance of wood, but I'm not sure I would've looked at the finished product and instantly recognized it as wood. it almost looks like a stone or rock formation. it's absolutely gorgeous with the myriad of colors and shapes. i'm happy I stopped to watch this at 0200 in the morning. thanks for sharing!!!

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

The purple colour that comes through was so surprising and beautiful.

The details are so unique and interesting. You did a beautiful job with this piece of wood.

Stunning piece of work. Nature by design!!

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

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

fabulous so nice to see a piece with so much natural color and NO RESIN

Thank you. I never tire of watching an artist at work and waiting to see what transpires. I think that is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen made. It should be in a museum so that many people can see it and admire how beautiful wood is and how wonderful that there are craftspeople who can use modern machinery to bring out the beauty in the world. Thank you again I shall enjoy watching this video time and again

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

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!

I'm a simple man. I see no commentary videos with interesting content, I sub. Job well done

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!

Amazing how much beauty there is hidden in what some people would just burn, absolutely stunning, well done.

I thought it was going to be a lamp .Beautiful to see all the different colors appear.

A beautiful combination of workmanship and Mother Nature 🇬🇧

I have to admit, that I was a little perplexed at first, but when you smoothed out the voids & edges, wow ! Great intuition .

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

When you have raw materials and makes it in a peace of art that is genius in my eyes.

Wonderful- beauty of mother nature amplified and realized by human ingenuity!!

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

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.

Simply beautiful! I really enjoyed watching this.

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

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

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