Woodturning - Freshly Cut
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 10. 2023
- I recently had to have an Ash tree taken down due to Ash dieback, a fungal disease that's decimating the Ash tree's in the UK. Sad as it was to see this tree go I will definitely be using all of it, the smaller branches were chipped and will be used for animal bedding, an amount will be chopped into logs to help fuel our home and I will keep quite a few chunks for turning. Like usual if I come across freshly cut wood I couldn't resist the urge to turn a couple of pieces..
I was curious to find out how green wood would react to fractal burning and if it would speed up the drying process. The moisture content when I started was around 38 and now it reads around 25. Its been 3 weeks since the tree was felled and there has been no splitting but the rim has warped on the vessel..
Please DO NOT attempt fractal burning unless you know what you are doing..

*In New Zealand we have Kauri Dieback on a number of our native Kauri trees. So a number of the tracks in the forests & bush are off limit to people due to this issue. We have special mats with a special chemical to walk on as it washes the soles, as you enter and when you leave the tracks to make sure this disease is not traveling about on the shoes or boots worn to other tracks in the bush where other Kauri trees do not have it. We are protecting the really old Kauri trees that are thousands of years old... We have a couple of specialised sniffer dogs now, that can smell the dieback disease. So that is helping us greatly. NZ scientists are working to find a cure. As KAURI is a protected native New Zealand tree. 🙂.*
WOW!🎉 I love reading about the small steps being made that have a HUGE impact on conservation! Bravæ! 🤟🤟🤟
I read an article about ancient kauri trees being dug up from swamp some time ago.. It's fascinating that the log are still pretty much intact all those centuries. Are those still being sold?
@@whatever_12 *NO, I don't think so, as there was an uproar when it came out. A NZ political person's husbands company was selling it to China.... So that did not go down well with Maori & the rest of NZ people. I believe that loophole was closed up. Swamp Kauri is very precious and yep amazing how well it was preserved after all them years. It is worth a fortune. Years ago I use to make wooden toys. and I had come across in my travels some small bits of different native timber.. Rimu & Kauri... and I made a wooden moving Hippo toy. I found out that the Kauri was in fact swamp Kauri. It will never be sold or given away. as it is a made of two native timbers. Some old homes in NZ still have old Kauri floorboards.. but it is not swamp kauri.*
Too bad your government has restricted you from enjoying your forests while animals, birds, and wind in those areas are spreading the soil borne disease. How did the forests ever survive before people came along (LOL). Sounds like a nanny state where people think they can control everything.
@@whatever_12can’t dig them up any more but if your lucky can buy stuff that has already been dig up but getting very hard to find
Rest in peace, oh Ash Tree. Your life has been turned into a beautiful piece of art, instead of dying to a fungal disease...
It's always sad when it's necessary to take down a tree, but the use given to the cut parts was good. Great job!
Thanks!
I'm glad I logged in for a new Andy Phillip video.
Wow never seen that burning done before. What an incredible look it has given the piece. Great job Andy.
Thanks 👍
That fractal burning process was wild! I don't think I've ever seen it done before, and the results are so cool.
That piece will most likely crack or split because the blank was wet
@@jimdee5003 so what !!!
A lot of work for nothing- so what
@@jimdee5003 why so negative , ice sculptures melt after a lot of hard work , it’s a shame you can’t just appreciate the process
Fractal is deadly. Dozens of people have died, Even professionals, electricians etc. DON’T DO IT
Wasn't sure if I would love it until the India ink hit. The perfect choice to make the Fractal burns jump out. Nice piece!
Thanks
The tree removal time-lapse was really neat.
Wow Andy! I love what you did with that, I didn't think you could turn green wood because of the aging process it needed but that was brilliant. ❤❤❤
Thanks 👍
Wow😮 i was puzzled at first but watched in growing delight to see a work of art appear! The wood burning process made me say aloud Andy's fonna wood burn it?! No way! The art made me think of trees. Beautiful stunning work!🎉
Thankyou
unsurprisingly amazing work as always Andy, evidently right from the tree too! the turning, the camera work, all of it. cheers man, thank you for sharing with us
Many thanks!
Andy, another work of art. Well done sir. Keep them coming.
Look at how pretty that grain is that’s going to make a gorgeous piece
Ahhh the good ol' lichtenberg machine fractal burning
Have to say, love the lightning technique!!!
Awesome job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
fellow arborist and wood crafter . good stuff! stay safe!
Crazy beautiful piece, Andy! Really amazing work!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
WOW outstanding Andy as always
We finally got a face reveal! You're so brave once you are not so shy to show your face to the camera!
Now THATS a really fun piece!
A nice change from your usual projects! And it was created from your own property. Nice job Andy!
Fractal burning - what I will look like if I'm ever struck by lightning! Sad end for the tree, but beautiful use of the wood.
It's the most incredible and imaginative thing I've ever seen!!!....😲😲😲😲, as we say in Spain...OLE, OLE!!!....👏👏👏👏
The "lightning strikes" are absolutely stunning! They look a bit scary to do, but I have faith in your common sense, as much as I have awe for your artistic talent. Your ideas for the various pieces are incredible. I've not seen one which hasn't blown me away.
Seeing you cut the tree down made me chuckle to myself, though, because a) it's stupid o'clock (no birdsong yet!) and I didn't want to wake anyone by laughing out loud and b) my husband would appreciate your tree surgery skills.
He used to be a tree surgeon/consultant before he became disabled, and he was very strict with anyone he worked with regarding the safety procedures (proper harness & ropes, chainsaw clothing which I can only assume you have, not seeing you up close, etc.) He's qualified in every area of tree surgery, including aerial rescue, hence his obsession with proper procedure.
Though it's sped up and far away, it certainly looked like you were doing all the right things.
That film did answer my constant "internal question" regarding where you get your wood from! Hubby does some woodwork himself, though he tends to work from what you might call secondhand wood (old furniture which might be damaged in parts but there's enough good wood to "rescue", pallets - he made a dovecote out of a bunch of pallets someone gave him, etc).
He got a bargain the other week from an auction, his source of many projects. A ton of sheets of laminate in different woods including ebony, burr walnut, flame mahogany and others, all for about £20! Two pieces still had price stickers on them and they added up to more than he paid including the commission, and he's got dozens more. He's been a happy bunny for the last couple of weeks! I don't know if you look at local auction sites, but you might find a bargain there!
Again, thank you for sharing your awesome talent. Your tendency to upload before the sparrows sing is great because I have a tendency to be awake now because of the pain of my own disabilities. You cheer me up no end.
It is called fractal burning. You don't see it on CZcams that often anymore since quite a few people have died from doing it.
Great piece. What a journey. Thanks for sharing
11:45 When the paper towel design matches the project.
Looking good! Always enjoy watching you creating new art!
Beautiful job! Lovely wood, love the wide, bold grain. Too bad about the tree, it was gorgeous.
😮 I like fractaling. Very nice piece.
I love turning green wood it’s like butter. Nice piece sir
That was truly amazing. I’ve never heard of it or seen it done. That was so cool. Very pretty 👍🏼🇺🇸❤️
Hello Andy the wood is gorgeous it has brilliant grain and colouring. I love the fractual burning it really makes the pot stand ou, I like it when I see woodturners do fractual burning on items they make. You really are a masterwoodturner and artist well done. Thank you for a magnificent video. Amanda xx
Thanks so much Amanda 👍
That tree has given you a lot of wood to last you for a while! Nice time lapse.
That came out really cool!
Andy, when you started up the machine i was thinking "DEATH WOBBLES'" but on the other hand you were like, nope it's just a Tuesday!!!
What a stunning piece Andy, i love when you do the electric shock treatment to some of your art pieces!!! Even the grain looked speckled. Love your work.
Thanks I appreciate it 👍
Beautiful piece
Great work, colleague👈👍😉
Thanks
What a beautiful finish! 👍💪✌
Gorgeous as usual. Bravo master Philips 🎉
Absolutely unique and lovely to look at!
Beautiful work Andy well done
What a cool looking project! The method is very interesting.
What a beautiful art done with you hands. You very talented and innovative. Good on you ANDY
Loved the burning! Another cracking piece Andy!
Awesome result. Very moist!
Thank you!
Nice job with that forset look on vase. Woody vase is title for this one. Keep up good work.
Loved this ❤️ beautifully crafted & u burnt trees onto a tree🌳 how divine ✨️
Lovely Andy! ❤
Thank you!
Nice work. Unique and beautiful.
Gorgeous 😻
Stunning piece
Stunning effect
As a NZr (hello andreacrashe) electronics tech, i'd forgotten all about the fractal burning technique. Another lovely shaped piece Andy with an interesting bit of decoration.
Stunning ❤
I showed a couple friends your fractal burning pieces and they were in awe, have to show off this one next.😊
This type of burning is so incredibly dangerous, it should not be attempted under any circumstances. Please don't encourage other people to try this. Ann Reardon had made a very informative video about how dangerous this is on the How to Cook That channel.
For real. It is deceptively and unbelievably dangerous and should absolutely never be done, and is banned from most wood art galleries to discourage it.
Many experienced professional electricians have died doing fractal burning. It's literally "accidentally brush a finger against the wood or anything remotely conductive the wood is touching and you are dead before you hit the floor" levels of dangerous.
Cool effect!
The fractal burning is beautiful! It gives a fine Asian look to the piece...
Beautiful Andy. I hope it doesn’t crack.
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you!
Outstanding!
Most of the video, i was thinking "this is nice, but kind of dull."
Then the electrodes came out. How wrong i was. Great effect!
Awesomeness Andy! 👍 I am a lover of fractal burning. ❤️ I cannot stand it when someone tries to imitate this gorgeous craft with a dremel. Ash is the perfect wood. Lots of "trees" hidden inside! 🌳🌲
Imitating it with a dremel is infinitely safer though. The biggest blunder with a dremel will only leave you with a scar and a story.
The tiniest mistake with fractal burning will almost certainly be instantly lethal to you or someone close to you.
Good luck bro🔨
Mesmerising.
That is awesome 👍👍👍👍👍.
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.......WOW! I've never seen anything like this. It's wild and wonderful.
Thankyou
Beautiful!
very nice I love the fractal effect
So very nice!
Beautiful, Andy. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks 👍
Love that technique
Beautiful
Love it! Love it! Love it!
Great work love the fractal burning,looks great 🎉❤
Looks like freakin' magic!❤
Very nice Andy ! keep up the good work 👍👍
Thanks 👍
@@AndyPhillipWoodturning Welcome 😊🥰
The burns look like trees! Thats incredible !
Edit typo
Amazing work AND you’re keeping the fire department on their toes! 😂
Thanks 🤣
Nice work dude,. such a great design 😊😊
Really like this … top job 👍🏼
Beautiful pal. 👏👏👏👏
Thanks 👍
Amazing! ❤
Sad about the beautiful old tree, but love what you are doing with it. It looks like you intricately carved trees on the side of the vase.
Thank you very much!
😮 outstanding
Thanks 👍
Nice just what I needed
Really nice, Andy. It will be interesting to see what happens with it beyond the 3 weeks. The Emerald Ash Borer has all but wiped out the ash trees here in the US.
Bill
STUN. NING!
AWESOME. THANX
Very beautiful! Do be extremely careful with the electric wood burning though. It is very much lethal, and one wrong move can be the end.
Thanks... I've been doing fractal burning for a long time and have multiple safety features incorporated into the system I use ..
Good. Don’t die.
That's a fancy log splitter.
Wow absolutely gorgeous. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Thank you.
Thanks 👍
Interesting how the dendritic burn lines tended to follow the lines of the grain - I've never noticed that before. Presumably it's because of variation in the moisture content in green wood. Fine effect, anyway, and a unique result.
'dendritic' excellent word🤓 it needs more use!
@@chrischambers5466 my pleasure. I love abstruse words.
@@missharry5727 I did need to look it up
Neat technique 🎃
Wawwww, que creativo, hermosa pieza, con ese trabajo de quemar la madera, muy bello!!!!!👏👏👏💖💖💖 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Morning fresh 😊
This current project is electrifying, Andy! 👍😊
That electrical etching is special.
Love the turning. I'm not terribly knowledgeable about wood. When it's fresh cut it's still has a bit of moisture? What keeps the work piece from cracking/splitting in the future as the wood dries out more? Do you apply a sealer so it doesn't dry?
Thanks.. always a risk of cracking with fresh cut wood but I split it down natural splits that were already starting and removed any pith so hopefully it won't be to bad
