In this wood turning video, I have a scout about on my bike to ideally search out some root balls. Dead fall trees are normally where I source the majority of the wood I turn and these 2 pieces I discovered while biking will be stored for a year or two to dry. The piece I kip down this video is from a Sycamore tree and turned pretty good thinking about how gnarly it was, as usual the sanding was a great deal of work and probably took longer than the turning did!! I finished it with Danish oil.

GREAT turn Andy. Funny, most people go into the forest and harvest the “wood” but not Andy – he harvests the roots! !! !!!
Thankyou
Stunning! I couldn’t see it until you started sanding, but then, I am not the artist that you are Andy. Beautiful work, incredible eye for what awaits inside.
Many thanks!
Looks great!

Best leadup to a wood turning video I’ve ever seen.
Good turn

Wow! Not only are you a great woodturner, you are a master of video making too! One could believe you have a whole bunch of cameras around in the nature, catching you while passing by.
Thank you very much!
Great video and a lovely end result … thanks 😊
Thankyou
Just wondering if it necessary to allow some drying time for the wood to stabilize before turning
Who said he didn’t allow for it?
I mention about the drying in the video description..
Oh what fun. Looked as if you enjoyed the hunt almost as much as the turning. Looking at the sort of pieces you’re producing I find myself wondering how often a chunk like this actually defeats you – too fragile, unexpected areas of rot, intrusions like nails, or simply too boring.
I had one a few videos back where there was too much rot .. But luckily I don’t have that many 👍
Finding a random rootball in the forest and turning into a beautiful piece of art is why I keep watching your channel!!
Thanks .. I appreciate your support 👍
Wow, Andy. That is great! I can see why the sanding took so long.

The average person sees a piece of rotting wood in the forest, and Andy sees a masterpiece. Well done sir
Finally something classic and beautiful 🎉 .
And this ladies and gentlemen is how a piece of nature becomes a piece of art. Stunning. Imagine having this in your room at night with a candle in it. Beautiful work Andy!
You continually amaze me Andy with your artistic vision with wood that others wouldn’t even glance at. Thank you for sharing good sir. God’s many Blessings to you and to all. Deo Gratias. Ave Maria.
