I recently got a fairly big log to slice up for fire wood, the smell while chain sawing it was incredible so I believed I would turn a piece and see what it resembled. Apart from providing my workshop a good odor the piece had lots more character than I expected.
I turned a thin walled bowl which I'm hoping will warp as it dries and covered it with Mineral Oil.
I have actually been told because that the wood is Scots Pine, I'm wishing that I hadn't sliced the rest up now!!

That looks fantastic! And you got it so thin without cracking, too!
Thanks so much!
From the size of these growth rings, this Scotch pine had a very generous and beneficial growing environment with large wood cells and wide growth rings, versus a hard life, mini-rings and a lot of pine tars and oils within the actual small wood cells and tight annular rings – making the latter a real stinker of a piney bowl smell (like Pine Sol !).
It was right next to a busy road.. it must have liked it
An optical illusion, looks flat but is actually curved. Nice piece of wood there!
I always thought that it would always be boring making round things on a lathe but Andy you sure know how to make beautiful grainy looking round things with your lathe. I love wood with beautiful grain and you find it.
I wasn’t expecting it to look that good
You should try wood turning but beware, it can be very addictive Lol!
I love the smell of Scots Pine too. I can imagine that would have been a pleasure to turn. The result is lovely, it has such a nice grain. 👍❤️
Again, thank you for sharing your talent. Your channel is truly a joy to watch. I am amazed every time at the beauty you can pull from these choice pieces of wood. 🙂
Many thanks
Beautiful! Increadible grain and an elegant shape.
Thanks Jonas … good to see you back carving 👍
Love the way you use your bowl gouge as a scraper too. Great stuff. Also please can I congratulate you on your camerawork – it makes it a joy not just from the end product point of view but its educational too. I learn a lot from your fantastic videos and imagination. Thank you.
Thanks Joe 👍
13:22 I like this angle! I can see the rings of time forming a beautiful pattern!
Another beautiful piece from humble beginnings. Loved your bandsaw jig and centering tool. And now trying to justify adding a chainsaw to my Ryobi collection…
Wow,beautiful! That grain really plays tricks on the eyes. It almost looks flat but not even close. Great job as always and love your works of art.♥️👍🏼
Your ability to read the wood even before you put it on the lathe and in the work progress to get the most beautiful result out of a given piece, never ceases to amaze me.
C’est toujours un plaisir de regarder tes vidéos Andy bravo pour le résultat c’est top 👍👍👏👏
Beautiful, I know I say it a lot but it is! I really love watching you turn a gnarly old piece of firewood into a one off work of art!
Just beautiful! My Uncle, who was a genius with wood, made a walnut plate for me when I was much younger. Now, thru you, I can see how he possibly did that. Thank you! 😍
At the 11 minute mark, so satisfying when that center bit was finally carved away, lol. It was nice to see you work on a bigger piece this time! 🙂
I love the circle cutting jig you have on your bandsaw! Very handy. And gorgeous work, as always.
As always, it’s gorgeous (I’ve never seen you do such thin walls before!). I love how oil brings out the grain in the wood, and this time is no exception, but before you put the oil on, the beiges and pale pinks made it look like the inside of a pearl oyster (@11:20) and I kind of wish there was a way to preserve that look. If it warps as you hope please please post a link to a new picture (-:
i love the simplicity and functionality of a lot of your pieces, including this! 😍
Muito legal, esse senhor é um verdadeiro artista, tenho muita vontade de praticar mais não tenho condições.
