Woodturning - A Large Piece of Yew !! (no mid roll ads)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 май 2023
- In this wood turning video I turn a natural edge bowl from a large Yew log. With the size of the piece and the cool looking natural edge I knew it would be out of balance and even with my makeshift lathe support I had to start turning around 250 rpm and I think the maximum speed I got to was around 550 rpm so it was definitely a challenging piece to turn, I finished it with Danish oil...

Love the optical illusions where it looks like your chisel isn't even touching but there's still all the chips flying off. It came out gorgeous
I could stare at the grain and the chatoyance of this piece for hours at a time - you've really brought a beautiful Yew log to life.
@Yoda _ 😂😂😂 I know.. I had to look up how to spell it, after hearing it multiple times on the Sprague Woodturning channel and eventually understanding what it meant. 😂😂
Your full of chatoyance…stare at me in my chatoyance aka cats eye. 🤪
Isn’t that one of Michael's sisters…Chatoyance Jackson.
@@jeremycoleman318 😂😂😂😂
You should look up "chatoyance" again, because there is almost none of it in this piece. That's just wood colouring and grain lines. Chatoyance typically presents itself as "flaming" or "quilting."
I just came back from a horrible day at the university where I collapsed out of exhaustion and pain. The first thing I did coming back home was grab a popsicle and put on this video. Please understand, you bring me so much peace. Thank you for your beautiful work. It’s meditative and mesmerizing, it helps me forget about my burning throat from vomiting and the pain of my illness. ❤
Thanks .. I'm glad you find the videos helpful
You've got the patience of a saint and an attention to detail that is all too rare in the age of mass-produced garbage.
It's nice to see how some of the techniques you've developed while making these videos have become second nature at this point. Please keep on turning, I never miss a project.
Thankyou
It’s just …beautiful.
Your hands and arms must be really strong because cutting into those wavy edges looked brutal. It turned out gorgeous.
Thankyou 💪😁
I like this one. It reminds me of the clocks we all had growing up in the 80s and 90s lol. Beautiful work
Had my doubts when you first spun the piece but you pulled it off, lots of skill involved with this one, well done sir.
Thankyou Phil
Interesting. very 60s. Reminds me of stuff I used to see on suburban coffee tables when I was a kid.
Oh, my, Andy. That piece is sooooo incredibly beautiful! Were it mine, I'd hang it on a wall for maximum visual effect. 👍
What an absolutly STUNNING charcuterie board! The colours of the wood, the rings and the live edge! Its perfect!
I'd have it as a centerpiece on either a dining room table or coffee table in a great room.
One of the most beautiful pieces of wood before you even started! So many patterns and colours. It sort of reminded me of some of the huge fungi that grow out of trees given its natural shape. That's not meant in any way as an insult! You brought out both shape and colours beautifully ❤
I must say I got really upset when I saw you with that chainsaw ha king off those, what I call tentacles, I was telling myself he can't do that to such a beautiful piece of wood. Then I wiped my tears and said give him a minute and see what he does with it, I shouldn't have doubted you to know how to bring out more beauty that's already there... Wow that was a tense one... Great job.. ❤️❤️❤️
And again yew made made another beautiful piece 👏👏👏
The result is almost spiritual. Depth of beauty, with a bright spirit.
Very nicely done piece of Yew, outstanding once again.
I absolutely love watching this! I find it so fascinating that when you really speed it up, it looks like slow mo. Your hand looks like it is moving normal and it doesn't even look like you are touching the wood.
The grain is mesmerizing...........beautiful
The final finishing coat transformed this beautiful piece into a 3 dimensional work of art!
That piece has so much character, it's beautiful.
Wow Andy! You turned this incredible piece of wood into a magnificent work of art! Bravo Maestro Bravo!!
So raw, so natural!!! I love it!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That gave a bit of anxiety at first... What a special piece. Absolutely beautiful.
Gorgeous piece of yew ,stunning ❤
Absolutely breathtaking. The spirit of the tree is grateful for your skill and artistry.
Andy that was a MASSIVE piece of timber. I didn't know you could turn a chunk that big, yet alone slide the lathe all the way to the end. Fantastic piece of artwork man!!! Love your work.
Thankyou
Your videos now have me spotting wood laying around and going, "OMG, I would love to turn that.". The only problem, I don't even have a lathe.
😂
Steven attaway- maybe join a woodworking club and try someone else's lathe. You're already addicted, so this is the next step for you 😆
That wood is absolutely beautiful. I’m glad you kept it as a simple shallow bowl letting the beauty of that wood just shine .
Oh WOW! Another stunner! 💙💢💙💢💙💢💙💢💙
This is beautiful! I love the curve and all the colors in the wood
Thanks Jonas 👍
What a truly stunning piece - from the overall shape to the beautiful showing off of the grains throughout. The spinning force of this piece must have been incredible! Thanks for sharing your work - its so fun to watch.
That is the coolest piece of yew ive ever seen! A Masterpiece!!!! I love the fluted yew trunks they have so much personality and beauty. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Thank you very much! It was a cool piece of Yew
Hi Andy, incredible artistry. You are very unique in your approach to very unusual pieces of mother nature. I am sitting here with a torn, Achilles tendon, on my sofa, watching video after video of yours, and it gives me great happiness, and somehow eases my pain buddy. God bless you!
Many thanks
i’m sitting in my recliner watching as well with my right torn Achilles. Almost at the end of my 3rd week and boring. I had my left done a couple of years ago…..so I know the routine. Speedy recovery my friend
Stunning piece of wood - that must have been an ancient yew. Not just the size, weight and shape but the hardness of yew as well. You can always see the potential in a piece of wood and tailor the approach to fit. Nothing remotely like any of the gatepost series because there is nothing like this convoluted piece. I hope it was as much fun to produce as it was to watch.
It was a good idea to make a shallow bowl. It looks like a splash! I loved!
Now I could be wrong, but I think this is the first time you've had to use an extension on the lathe? The piece was beautiful, these are always the highlight of my evening.❤
Thanks Adham .. I think this is only the second time I've videod using it 👍
I would want to put this on a glass table to be able to see both the top and bottom.
Beautiful work, a gorgeous piece.
Thanks 👍
Oh my goodness.... that's the most beautiful bowl that I've ever seen...it just speaks to me.. thanks for sharing.
Thanks Shawna 👍
Wow that was surreal to watch. It looked like the wood was spinning but not spinning almost frozen at moments, then reversing while spinning all at the same time! Very unique piece, amazing job 👏
(And no...i haven't been drinking ha ha )
That is absolutely beautiful.
Show-off! 😀 That turned out beautifully. The colours and shapes of those growth rings look amazing.
You make the scariest things look easy! Bravery at its finest. Skills beyond mere mortals. Exquisite work.
Thank you!
The finished product is even more badass!! Great work man!! Iv got some logs I would love to have u finish for me…came from the trees from our mountain house❤❤❤
that is a awesome piece ... beautiful
This piece of wood is beautiful to begin with. WoW! ;-), the out come of this, just amazing.
Thank you!
That's some fantastic grain pattern and a great finished piece! I may need a slab of that for a top layer of a bass guitar...
Another inspiring turning. You are the Buster Keaton of wood turners. Here is PNW we have Pacific Yew trees. They are not easy to come by for several reasons. As a forest worker I have compiled a good number of yew chunks, will turn as I get more competent. Have come across a yew wood tree years ago on ridge with an approximate 36-40" DBH. Was very pyramidal as it was only about 60' tall with healthy top.
Now that’s what I call a brilliant result!
Jeez! I had no idea. I thought you were making an art piece for the wall but this bowl is gorgeous. Bravo Master Woodman 😊
It's amazing your lathe has any bearings left :D The way you work in sympathy with the wood is beautiful to watch, and the final piece is a work of art. I could look at that grain for hours.
A Herculean effort! 👏👏 Congratulations King Charles!
I feel some wood doesn't need to be made into anything it just needs it's inner beauty to be exposed!
Insane in the membrane! Awesome work my friend!
It's like a water splash of grains and colors!
That grain is amazing, nature is wonderful
That was unique and beautiful! You definitely did that Yew log justice. Well done! 👏❤
As usual, a beautiful piece of art. Thank you for sharing your skill with us. 💖
Wow; a smashing piece of turning. Excellent
Thankyou 👍
Andy, just saw this and I am always amazed by your work. What else can I say other than, "Yew rock!"
Thanks 👍
wow, just wow. i have to say you have been quite the inspiration for me this past year. long story short, i had to close my business of remodeling homes due to surgeries. 16 now. i finally got a lathe for the small shop i built in the yard. was told i couldn't work at all anymore. bah, i can, do and will continue. just watching what you do, has opened new horizons. thanks.
Thanks.. glad the videos have been a help .. I actually got back into turning after having spinal surgery and was unable to work for a year ... stay positive 👍
Stunning.
It's a beautiful piece of wood, Andy, so I can totally see why you fancied tackling it, but my word that looked tough! Great end piece though, spectacular.
Thanks... it was a tough one
This is absolute mastery. Beautiful work!
I love the unique shape and all the detail in the wood, she's exquisite !
I was fortunate to purchase this piece from Andy Phillip. The pictures don’t do it justice. The shape, colors and finish of this Yew wood are exceptional. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much.. glad you like it 👍
Just incredible the colors and shape all of it! It kinda of makes me think of the colors and shapes of a oil rainbow on water
Now that is just beautiful. Simply beautiful.
What wobble! Such a beautiful endgrain piece! Again blown away by your patience and the reward it produces!
Thanks 👍
Balancing a piece of wood like that must be like trying to balance a ceiling fan-frustrating and near impossible. I'm impressed that you managed to work the piece! Now I'll go watch it and comment on the finished work after 😁
Respect. Never seen you turn wood on the edge of your turning table also without that second pin support too. Made my hands sweaty by just looking at it so I can't imagine you being a bit anxious during the process.
Thanks .. It was a bit sketchy at times
WONDER-FULL!!!! Hardest? Well Andy, you made it look easy.
Thankyou 😁
I REALLY LOVE 💕 THIS PIECE! Such a beautiful talent to be given from god.
That is absolutely gorgeous, Andy!
Those colors are amazing, wow great job, I could just see my flabby bits gettin in the way
Magnificent !!!!!!!!!!! Looks like a big Fall Leaf
Andy, that turned out fantastic what a beautiful bowl the grain is smashing well done
Amazing. Love the variegated color. And it’s 100% natural. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!
I do not have the words to express the beauty of this piece. Magnificent!
I’m so happy yew (ha- I’ll see myself out) kept the gorgeous organic edge. The grain is beautiful and this piece turned out incredible! Plus, the didgeridoo-esque noise at 9:37 is probably a bit funnier to me than it should be lmao
one of the coolest pieces of wood i’ve ever seen. i haven’t seen many so that’s not saying much but still, it looks incredible. the shape, figuring, the color, it’s like mother natures version of abstract art. awesome job bringing it alive 👍
Now that was something else. Top job son as always Scotland sends its regards
Wow.....just wow!!! That piece made you work hard but what a beautiful result!!
Absolutely beautiful Andy, I thought this would be a beautiful clock
That's an insane piece. The shallow dish was the perfect selection for this project and it came
out GREAT! !! !!! Thanks Andy
I've already used the word "exquisite" today so we will keep it simple with fantabuloso! Man, that was a challenge and I could feel every thump, thump, thump with you, Andy. Great job! 😃
Phil
Thanks Phil... 😂 thump thump thump is all I can here .. 250rpm to start !! I really need a concrete floor 😫
🏆Years ago I had a 20' container as a workshop and once had to ratchet strap my lathe (Nova 3000) to the floor and wall! It worked👍🏻
Always interesting, thanks Andy look forward to your content every week!!!
Perfection...! As a fellow turner I know how hard you worked to get that end result.. I have a piece of Yew similar but smaller and am afraid to start it..
Thanks Wilbur... yes it was a tough one
That's absolutely stunning! Gorgeous! 😍❤️
Fantastic stunning piece of art.
This is a wonder piece with the natural edge, Well done 👏👏
Absolutely gorgeous!!! Outstanding work!!!
Thanks 👍. Yew had a bit of a challenge with this one but turned out great. Thanks again for your time in making this video. It isn’t easy. Cheers
Thanks Colin
What a great job bringing out the natural beauty of the wood for all of us to enjoy. That was a home run. Thank you.
Gosh, what an absolute stunner!
Fascinating and absolutely gorgeous!
Absolutely gorgeous - thank you for sharing another brilliant piece! Cheers and happy weekend!
Thanks Adam 👍
That's another level of beauty.
Andy, it looks like an absolutely stunning bowl. Well done 👏 ❤. A friend of mine did similar woodwork but has moved over to creating fantastic glass work. Keep up with your work. Have you considered adding your own signature pattern to each item you design and create, like the small mouse on Robert Thompson furniture. They each must be worth their weight in gold by now 😉.
Beautiful as always sir Phillip.
🆒😎👍! I had a completely different idea when you started out but what you did is magnificent!
