In this video I turn a natural edge type from a Beech 'healed over' knot and finished it with Danish oil.

Woodturning – A 'Healed Over' knot !!

Thanks Andy for correctly describing that material as a healed (technically callused) over knot, and not as a burl – which is what so many youtube turners would call it. These are one of my favorite sources of interesting turnings- I particularly like making small bowls from these calluses. Oak is a favorite source. Also apple, from properly pruned large-tree orchards – but any wood where the calluses tend to cover faster than the branch stub deteriorates completely is a possible source.
Hi Andy! I wish I had such steady hands to turn such beautiful things👍 . But watching you is just as lovely. Best regards from Hans and cheers.🍻🇦🇹
There is so much character in this piece. Really beautiful, Andy. 😊
Beautiful work as always 😉👍

Astoundingly beautiful figure in this work of art, Andy. When it comes to woodturning magnificence, nothing outshines natural wood.
I like to play a game with myself as I watch your videos. It’s called “what amazing piece will Andy create this time?” I don’t usually guess correctly, but I’m never disappointed!
You too? Glad I’m not alone!
I like to play “which axis will he turn on?”
