- obviously, this wood had seen better days. most people would have walked right by this wood without giving it a second glance but this is the exact kind of wood that stops me in my tracks. i knew it had potential but i had no idea what to expect until i started cutting it into pieces.

Scott, excellent video. More valuable information in your 20 minutes than in 95% of all other's posts. THANK YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR . . . . . .
One of my favorite pieces of yours. Nice work again Scott!
This is my first time here and I am now a sub. My dad passed away a couple of years ago and he was a logger and a builder. He left me with many different tools including a band saw. I have added some different tools to his collection one being a planer. He left me with lots of different types of aged wood. I have hickory, curly maple and distressed maple, ash, pine, red and white oak, sassafras, walnut, etc. He left me his home that he built himself and it is all wood. I have made and sold some mantle's from the hickory, pine and chestnut oak. I have been doing some remodeling on the home he left me. I haven't built onto it, I'm actually just putting up some walls and turning an open space into 3 bedrooms and a walk in closet as I needed the extra rooms because I'm a foster parent. I planed different types of wood and put it on my walls in no specific pattern and then just put a clear coat over it. It's quite beautiful with all the different textures and natural colors. I really like this piece you created and I actually have some wood similar to the wood you used. It looks like a very laboring process to create such a perfectly imperfect piece of art. I commend you for following through with this project when I'm sure you got discouraged. Do you sell your pieces and if so what would you charge for this piece or one similar? I really want to learn how to create some beautiful wood art since I already have all the tools and wood it takes to do it.
It sounds like you've got a very nice collection of wood! With all the tools and wood you have I'm sure you can create some good wood art. Yes, I do sell my pieces on occasion. I still have the piece I made in this video. You can email me about it if you'd like. My email address is in the "About" section of my channel. Just click on it and you'll see a button to view my email address.
I guess what impresses me the most is your ability to imagine. Your ability to see something out of something viewed by most as worthless. Not many people have this artistic perception. With this talent there is no limit to what you can produce from seemingly worthless stuff! Your presentation is good, many of these videos do not have enough light with annoying music.
I love your art. Imagine a whole wall covered in aged wood blocks!
Beautiful! 👏👏👏
Wow, this is one of my faves! So beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
This work is a little different than what I've seen you do in the past, Scott. It has a unique look that conjures up thoughts in my mind of a medieval setting of sorts. This one would look great, hanging on anyone's wall! You've turned half-rotten, forgotten wood of no interest to most, into an object of great value (both intrinsic & monetary). Thanks again so much for sharing your brilliance!
I'm always attracted to the forgotten wood. The wood other people wouldn't look twice at always seems to call out to me. I was at a wood shop sale a little over a month ago and saw this wood laying on the side of the shop next to a bunch of other wood. I asked the guy if he would sell it to me and he said "just take it". I don't know what would have become of it if I hadn't picked it up but anyway I found a great place to hang it in my house so I'm happy I got a chance to "rescue" it and put it to good use.
A very nice job and the people who are in front as I know them.👍🏼
Great vision.👏👍👍👍👍👍👀
this is so Art, tks for sharing...
Absolutely wonderful!
Thank you! Cheers!
In your ending explanation you say, "Challenges I may Face". How apt considering there is most definitely a face in this piece. Lovely use of what some would consider firewood. As always, masterfully done.
Great Channel Scott!
Love your style. Found ur channel today looking for ideas re: driftwood projects. I really like the piece from this vid too.
Simplemente espectacular!!!!!
Beautiful.
Beautiful project!
Thank you! Cheers!
I love weathered wood because I find it has spirit that inspires a whole bunch of us. It's like it's talking to us in different ways depending on our own spirit. Thank you so much for your videos and your open mind. I can't wait for milder weather to come along so I can go and find a potential piece of wood that will bring me joy and inspiration as much as it does to you. You're the best and I'm really happy that I found your videos.
Thanks Francoise! I hope you find a great piece of wood that gives you lots of inspiration :)
Hi Scott,
When I do find that piece of wood and end up creating something special, I will send you a picture because you will be the one who inspired me to go that far in the creation. I can't wait.
Sounds good :)
Dude, you have the same table saw I have! Mine is about 30 years old! I haven’t seen one like it until now. Saludos.
Una composicion muy bonita felicidades y lo de los trillizos al final muy bueno, un saludo
Very nice and smart👍👍👍
Very good !
Very nice. Gonna make one. Little different but great idea
Awsome piece bro
Very nice.
Nice job!
I may be wrong here but I think the Japanese use the term Wabi Sabi? Something like beauty in the mundane or simple beauty or fleeting beauty. It s finding, creating, or acknowledging beauty in every day things. The most common example is the cherry tree in blossom.
It’s a face! lol I love this one!
Thanks!
great!
Amazing job of turning some really junky wood into a piece of art!
Yea, most people would look at this wood and just think its junky old wood and not give it a second thought. When I first saw this wood, I could see that it was seasoned to perfection and full of potential. And the price was right. I was at a wood shop sale a little over a month ago and saw it laying on the side of the shop next to a bunch of other wood and asked the guy if he would sell it to me and he said "just take it!". - They had other wood at the shop sale that was "for sale" - but the problem is that I just didn't see much potential in any of that :)
I really like your work. Could you give us some info on the wire wheel(s) you use?
I'm using a 6 inch brass wire wheel on my 7 inch grinder. I mostly buy them from harbor freight. I used to buy them from lowes but they're a few dollars more there. The wire wheels are actually made for bench grinders but I've found that they also work really well on my 7 inch grinder.
ПРИВЕТ ИЗ СИБИРИ!! ХОРОШАЯ РАБОТА!!!!!
A very good thing to party time.

J'apprécie beaucoup Vôtre style d'action.C'est le mien aussi.C'est l'attitude responsable envers chaque morceau de bois. À la bonne heure ! Ina, Roumanie

you are great
GOD BLESS YOU
Lindo demais.
Muito obrigado :)
"Rotten to the core" would be a good segment of making "rotten to the core" beautiful.
I could do a whole series on rotten to the core :) ......and print t-shirts to go with it.
@@scottoconnor I'd like that, it's a catchy phrase. I would purchase one
Wood whisperer
I like your project very much. I see a emoji 😲🙂
Nice
Agreed.
That was a difficult one, the wood looked really rough, but you came up with a great idea again. I like the way your creative mind works. Did you think of hanging it portrait instead of landscape? It looked to me like a window. ilona
Thanks ilona. I didn't think of hanging it portrait on this one. The layout was based on the center pieces so I felt like landscape would be the best.
Thanks, best to go with your instincts. I've been working on a tapestry in landscape, now sewing it onto the backing fabric and see it works better as portrait :o)
Scott,
Whenever I work with old rotten wood like that I will put them in the oven at 250 degrees for about 4 hours,to insure that all the bugs and larva will not survive.
Bill
That's a great idea. I haven't ever done that. I actually sprayed this wood with termite killer after the pieces were mounted to the frame. There were a few termites but I think most of them crawled out before I stapled the pieces to the frame although a few crawled out the next day.
We love to watch the wizard..the wizard of wood we watch... can you ever come up with a dud project ? good sounds by the way
It sounds like a catchy tune! - I've done lots of "dud" projects but luckily don't have videos of most of those. Even the "duds" are important to learning woodworking and art.
💜😇💜

ONE TIME,, AT BAND CAMP........ 😂😂😂
I hope it's not a silly question do you treat the wood for worm ?
On a lot of my wood art pieces (but not all of them) I treat the wood for termites - not worm specifically - but I'm sure if there are wood worms in the wood they probably don't like termite killer.
"The Crazy Eyed Maze" is a challenge for all graduating pages...They have to accomplish it to become a Knight of the Rustic Art Relm.....Decreed By King Scott!!!!!!! It has magical powers which give the pages a harder time than appears....... "Good Luck to all who challenge the maze, be brave, deliberate and thoughtful of all your reasoning once you enter the maze!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Another great name from Stan - President of TANI (The Art Naming Institute). Whenever I'm considering a name for a piece of art I like to look at it in different languages. In this case it sounds great in spanish "El laberinto de ojos locos" Here it is in french "Le labyrinthe aux yeux fous" And also in italian "Il labirinto dagli occhi folli" In this case spanish wins!!!
@@scottoconnor TY!!!!!!!!
So you knew it was going to appear like a face?
