This Silver Birch log had a couple of burls on it however they were at a little an angle and were rather prominent. I was convinced if I just turned this into a vase or a bowl I would turn away the majority of the burls so I chose to turn a couple of Torus's. I followed the angle of the burl to cut the blanks so I hopefully wouldn't waste too much, I then utilized the smaller burl offcut to make a number of stands.

At its most basic, wood turning is making things round. But it takes a creative eye to make the round object visually appealing and do justice to its natural attributes. This was a great use of the materials which have stunning figuring! Well done, sir
Thanks π
Oh wow β€! Birch is one of the coolest unique grain patterns. It looks so strong and yet has a natural iridescence!
Hi Andy very nice work. I have always loved the torus shape it seems so perfect. I collect books and I was thinking what an awesome pair of bookends these would make buttressed against a line of leather bounded tomes. Thanks for another great video to watch. ππ
Cool, thanks
@ your welcome take care.
Stunning work Andy well done πβ€
OMG, what beautiful playful pieces these are. Love them π
1:15 in the morning where i am. Couldnt sleep so wanted to watch your relaxing and beautiful video. And now im craving glazed doughnuts. π Beautiful pieces as always..
Best bit is watching the finished piece slowly being revealed. From something Iβd probably split and put on a fire! Another brilliant bit of work Andy.

Bakery store owner: “And this Mr Simpson is the glazed donut made from a log”.
Homer: Mmmmmmm glazed donut log.
And thus is the story of how Andy’s wooden donut display had a bite taken out of it ππ
I didn’t read the comments, until the video had finished. I could of sworn it was olive until I started to read. Very different. Very Beautiful
Hi Andy, At first, I wondered why you were cutting it through the middle? You’d think after watching your mastery for so long, I’d learn to wait a little. Yet again, another piece of artwork. Love your work!!!
Those are really nice, Andy. Great use of that log.

Stunning beautiful, like 2 ring doughnuts that someone has already taken bites from. Love them
Very interesting use of this log. Could you share some information on the large black top jaws used to hold the work on the lathe. I have not seen these before and may want a set. Thanks
Yes, you did make the most of the beauty of the wood by making it a sculpture. But then, that’s what you do as a woodturning artistβcelebrate the natural beauty of wood!
You definitely succeeded, as usual. Your work is always excellent!
Truly amazing piece, Andy! Amazing work!!! π
I thought you were going to use epoxy, but it definitely looks better this way!
Stay safe there with your family! ππ
