So I woke up on a not very promising Friday morning thinking I could just fancy one of your videos as I think about getting up and giving the cat his breakfast and there you are with a natural edge bowl too which are my absolute favourites. What a treat! There's nothing wrong with it Andy, it's beautiful and one of your specialities. Your "bread and butter" pieces put everyone else's best efforts in the shade. Yes, I like the coloured pencils, the many-coloured mosaics, the free-ring goblets, the triumph of ingenuity and technique over materials; but finding the beauty in the most unpromising chunk of timber is real craftsmanship. The rest is highly enjoyable showing off!
I love the sway-type cradle you made with this Ash log. I could imagine flowers with stems in the center and the petals coming up both sides. Then you could put the baby's breath in the middle over the stems.
I'm not sure what you envisioned Andy but it turned out really pretty. I can see large/giant pine cones collected from massive Sequoia pine trees nestled in the bowl. ❤❤❤
Thats beautiful, you don't have to glue lots of colour's and pressure resins, beautiful in their own way. Ash can be a plain timber, but you have made it shine in your own way.
Hi Andy what a wonderful bit of wood it has amazing grain and colour. The natural edge bowl is magnificent and unique, you have turned yet another fantastic piece. Well done great bowl and video. Amanda xx
Damn that work looks so satisfying and therapeutic. I'm going to have to invest in a lathe someday. I used to bore and customize sprockets and gears years ago I do miss it.
A complete layman like myself who knows nothing about wood wouldn’t have any idea that didn’t come out the way you might have expected. Without the video, I’d wonder how the heck you did that shape.
Great video as always.I always try at the beginning of the video to guess what your creating,and when final results are shown.see how close I came.I was going for a (skull cap)motorcycle helmet.LOL.but a beautiful bowl emerged.great content.love final showing 👍👍👍😎😎😎
The oil restored the majority of the grain, at least in my view. The final outcome reminded me of a fruit basket (if it had handles!), so it's a perfect fruit bowl. I'd very happily have that on my side table filled with different fruits. My grandchildren would empty it in a few hours! I understand why you said what you did, but it's a beautiful piece nonetheless. The grain is a lot clearer with the oil and it's restored the wood's innate beauty.
Well it was a lot better than your description! I can imagine it in a contemporary setting quite well. Can anyone else see an owl’s face in the very last frame of the video? 2 big eyes.
I have to say its not my favorite but still beautiful ! I'd love to see the moss and bark encased in resin and left on the bowl, ya it may be fragile, but all wood /resin is, to a point. And separately woodturning the darkest wood, I dont know what wood that is but im sure it would look amazing , haha!
Ash nearly always disappoints me that way. Just isn't a very interesting wood for turning. However, it's a gorgeous, if understated bowl. You completely nailed the shape with respect to the live edge crotch. As always, beautiful work.
You said in the description that you think it’s a bit bland. But as an artist as well, I’ve found that if I do a piece that I’m less than pleased with, I better look at it again. Ive learned some thing from every piece I make. It may be the tiniest of thing. A color here, a piece added there, or something funny that I wasn’t expecting. I’ve learned something in the making of that piece. Maybe just that I don’t want to ever do that again.
I guess this hunk of wood could have been left as is but then we wouldn't be admiring this uniquely fabulous conversation piece now would we Andy?!!!
Even better, It could left as a tree
I always love it when you leave the "natural" edge on a piece. Great work even if it's not what you hoped for.

I'm glad I logged in for another Andy Phillip video.
Andy, I love your work. You made a perfect bowl. It's very beautiful.
Never left better as a log! Thanks Andy, lovely as usual
Hi Andy, Absolutely nothing wrong with that piece. Stunning in its simplicity. Love it !!!
The growth rings from the branches really came out well. A masterpiece from a bland piece of wood! You've done it again, Andy! 😁👍👍
Elegant, pure in simplicity. Remarkable clean wood underneath that rough bark. Nice one again Andy.
The patterns on that wood were gorgeous. Definitely better as a bowl.
It was better given your woodturning expertise and artistic vision, Andy. It's lovely! 👍
Looks like a soft wood. The patterns in the log look great! I love the live edge.
Andy with your creative genius, you took that one note log and turned it into a symphony!
Love this piece! Its unique shape and raw edge is what makes it simply beautiful!
Such a beautitul piece of wood! Thanks for finding the inner beauty!
I think it's lovely, Andy! Very nice grain, unique and beautiful shape and I love the natural edge.
I just love all the beautiful things you find inside logs! 😊
I love the fact that you left the green edge on, makes it look so natural, as if it grew to be that shape.
Awesome work the grain pattern is awesome nice job 👍 👏.
You have an amazing ability to see a diamond in a hunk of wood. Nicely done my friend.
Firewood as a log. Lovely art as a bowl. Well done.
Beautifully simple. I like it.
I love the sway-type cradle you made with this Ash log. I could imagine flowers with stems in the center and the petals coming up both sides. Then you could put the baby's breath in the middle over the stems.
Most definitely better now, than when it was a log. Cheer up Andy, it looks great. Well done.😊
Ahh.... time to break out the 2x and enjoy fine art.. thanks Andy!
I love that you left some of the green on! It really adds to the piece!
Nice job! I like how you left the lichen in place. Might be home for a few critters 🐞🦗🐌🐛😉
The joy of watching you create this bowl, bland or not, is priceless.
Thanks
I really like the subtle grain. A very beautiful bowl.❤
I love the woods grain, beautiful
Better left as a log? No way! I think it's beautiful and I love the green live edge ❤
Another beautiful work, Andy! Really well done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You might not like it so much, but judging by the comments, your fans do.
Sweet nice work Andy as always
Oh my goodness I was wondering and hoping you were gonna be able to save some of the greens on the wood. I love it 😍
It's gorgeous!
I think it's beautiful. The grain of the wood looks so delicate a wonderful bowl.
Thanks 👍
No, Andy, you made the right decision, sir. Clean, and the look compliments the wood itself. Very well done. 👏👏👏👏👏
I'm not sure what you envisioned Andy but it turned out really pretty. I can see large/giant pine cones collected from massive Sequoia pine trees nestled in the bowl. ❤❤❤

Great job. That's inspiring.
Nice job mate - great to watch - hope you're well!
Nice work like the bowl and it is great piece to have. Keep up good work.
It looked like a bizarre optical illusion while it was rotating. Amazing it became a bowl!
Awesome piece... love the natural edge..
Great work, love the natural bark well done🎉❤
I think it turned out great! Much better as a bowl.
The bowl is very nice. I like the pattern of the wood.
Really elegant piece Andy, well done 🙌🙌
Not the result you were looking for but beautiful non the less. Well done
The finished piece looks great.
Nice work as always. Such a beautiful design 😍😍

Hi Andy what a wonderful bit of wood it has amazing grain and colour. The natural edge bowl is magnificent and unique, you have turned yet another fantastic piece. Well done great bowl and video. Amanda xx
Many thanks Amanda
Impressive wobble on that at the start! I think it was a superb piece 😊
I’m glad you made it into a beautiful bowl.
That is so nice. Well done!
Best looking log I’ve seen🤔😂
Wonderfull I see you from France
Grazie per averci offerto questo magnifico lavoro, dove hai rispettato quella striscia di corteccia originale ospitante i muschi ed i licheni !!!
Uniquely beautiful, and a conversation piece.
A master of his craft.
Great work mate looks awesome at one angle it almost looks like an owl with the two same shaped grains for eyes nice one 👍🦘🇦🇺
Damn that work looks so satisfying and therapeutic.
I'm going to have to invest in a lathe someday.
I used to bore and customize sprockets and gears years ago I do miss it.
A côr dessa madeira deixou a peça muito bonita!
Especial seu trabalho,sou sua admiradora👏🙂🤗💗
That turned out really nice. ❤❤😊
Well, I don't know anything..🤔 but I think this is a beautiful piece!❤
La coupe est magnifique et détaillée.Superbe à voir réaliser.👍
Моё почтение сударь, Вы как всегда на высоте !!!)))
It's absolutely beautiful
A complete layman like myself who knows nothing about wood wouldn’t have any idea that didn’t come out the way you might have expected. Without the video, I’d wonder how the heck you did that shape.
Looks excellent-great job
Thank you!
It looks great Andy!
Amazing work as usual, sir.
Thank you!
IMO i think it turned out quite lovely!!
Great video as always.I always try at the beginning of the video to guess what your creating,and when final results are shown.see how close I came.I was going for a (skull cap)motorcycle helmet.LOL.but a beautiful bowl emerged.great content.love final showing 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Браво Andy!,у тебя золотые руки!.
Браво мастеру очень красивое получилось изделие 🤝👍👍👍👍👍
Just out of curiosity, on a scale of 1-10, how much does this hurt the wrist? The outcome was nice and it was fun to see an odd shape become a bowl
I don't get any wrist pain so it's a zero
The oil restored the majority of the grain, at least in my view. The final outcome reminded me of a fruit basket (if it had handles!), so it's a perfect fruit bowl. I'd very happily have that on my side table filled with different fruits. My grandchildren would empty it in a few hours!
I understand why you said what you did, but it's a beautiful piece nonetheless. The grain is a lot clearer with the oil and it's restored the wood's innate beauty.
I think it turned out awesome, it would look perfect on a table filled with assorted unshelled nuts, or even fruit
Let´s agree to disagree as I think this is a fantastic piece!
Well it was a lot better than your description! I can imagine it in a contemporary setting quite well. Can anyone else see an owl’s face in the very last frame of the video? 2 big eyes.
What a beautiful, perfect curve! It invites the hand...lovely!
I have to say its not my favorite but still beautiful ! I'd love to see the moss and bark encased in resin and left on the bowl, ya it may be fragile, but all wood /resin is, to a point.

Left as a log? Where's the fun in that for us? 😂
Beautiful piece.
I'm glad it didn't get left as a log!
@ 5:10 If there was a way to seal the top of it, to preserve the green moss, etc., that's on there, that would have been a really cool finished piece.
I really like that mate ❤
Best chip bowl ever! 🤭
Awesome👍👍
it’s still very beautiful ❤
Nope, definitely not better left as a log. Well done Andy.
Очередная Красота.
Good looking bowl. Unique shape. I love it. I don't recognize the wood. Ash?
Thanks. Yes it's Ash
