Woodturning – Fire wood to Christmas Present

In this video I pinch a log from our fire store and turn a natural edge bowl. I do not believe it ended up bad for fire , there was even a little spalting

  1. Once again I’m astonished at what you are able to turn. Do you sharpen your own lathe tools? If so, I would love a tutorial.

  2. Hey not bad for firewood, I think burning the edge of the bowl was a nice touch. Also I’m happy to say that I was finally able to purchase a lathe for myself this year. I can’t wait to take it for a spin and try out a few inspired projects thanks to you Andy.😄

  3. beautiful bowl, love the burnt edge, makes it very unique, lovely woodgrain, whomever receives this as a gift should be most pleased, another lovely piece of art Andy!!!

  4. Very unique bowl,you always keep us guessing till the end. You never disappoint.great video as always.just keep on doing what you do best.👍👍👍😎😎😎

  5. I’d be thrilled to receive this as a present! I love the edge – the contrast of the colours is awesome!

  6. What a gorgeous trinket tray! I especially like the burnt edge. Whoever gets it for Christmas is going to love it!

  7. These are the ones I like best, just a random piece of old wood and a simple but not obvious shape, showing its unexpected beauty. The dark crack becomes a feature, not a flaw. The pencils and the resin are great fun but this is real woodwork. My grandfather was a joiner – very basic stuff mainly, like mending chairs and the desks from the local school – but he was also the village undertaker and made coffins. My sister and I spent a lot of time in his workshop, watching him at work, learning about different types of wood and the use of his tools. Looking back it was a bit weird with the odd half-finished coffin propped up in the corner, but fascinating and, for us, just normal.

  8. A little bit like opening a badly wrapped Christmas present then finding an absolute gem inside.
    Happy Christmas Andy & thank you for sharing your artistic gifts for us to admire & enjoy ♥️

  9. Of course Andy has the power of pardoning a piece of firewood for Christmas! But with his extraordinary creative genius, he has made a Christmas present masterpiece, leaving it with an incredible burnt edge as a gentle reminder of what it could have been! Its gorgeous Andy! Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!

  10. Really nice, Andy. I think the edge treatment was a great addition. I was also admiring those shavings you were producing.

  12. You don’t think it turned out bad!?! IT’S STUNNING!!! Very inspirational work! Makes me want a bigger lathe!
