- In this woodturning video I turn a natural edge vessel turned from a very hard piece of Oak burl. There were lots of inclusions in this piece which I was tempted to fill with resin but I decided to leave it natural and finished it with a Danish oil..

This piece is absolutely exquisite! I love that you gave it a nice "foot" rather than cutting it off. Beautiful work! ❤❤❤
Thanks
I like that you show the actual pace of work rather than having it all sped up but also enjoy that you speed it up for the sake of time. Beautiful work.
Cheers
WOW!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!WOW!!!!!!!.
The grain in this piece is absolutely amazing.
At 7:26 I stopped and just said WOW! That grain is just plain gorgeous! I'll watch the rest but I was sold right there. I REALLY enjoy what you do. Thank yiou. --- LATER --- I did watch the rest and this is stunning. Thank you for NOT doing resin on this. Knowing when to quit is a very special skill.
Thankyou 👍
Super glad you did not fill the inclusions with resin, you allowed the beauty of nature come through. Excellent!
I'm looking forward to seeing more of that little hedgehog that was hiding on the shelf behind this burl when you first took it down, but today's project might be my new favorite. I love the way you sanded the inclusions to make them part of the beauty of the piece instead of flaws.
Thank you
Outstanding piece! The grain and live edge are gorgeous.
Thanks
Beautiful wood and work. ❤ 😊
Beautiful wood made a beautiful vase, Andy. I like the foot you left on it. I also thought it was interesting to see you sanding those cracks.
Bill
Thanks Bill
So happy that you didn't fill the inclusions with epoxy! Stunning! Thank you!
Thank you!
Oftentimes less is more, and this is absolutely one of them. Beautiful, simply beautiful
Your work inspired me to try different things with my lathe. I just got a sphere jig in the mail. I can’t wait to work with it.
That is awesome!
Could I get the link to the sphere jig ?
What a fun and beautiful vase. I wish you would've shown us the finiished inside at the very end. The earlier glimpse seemed to be even prettier grain than the outside. That and shone a flashlight inside the vase in a slightly darkened room. It would've been interesting to see the effect of light on the wall being emitted from the cracks. Even still, very much enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.
I like resin fills, but I really enjoy letting the natural grain and figuring being allowed to speak for themselves. Well done, sir 😁
Thanks 👍
Another beautiful piece Andy, well done.
Many thanks!
The grain is very, very! For me…looking at the piece of wood you started from, I had no idea that was hiding in there. You did. You animated it and brought it to life.
Beautiful Creation, it lives once again!
Thank you very much!
Wow!!! I love this piece, the grain is just amazing
Thank you!
Dude, you can make any old lump look special.
Well Andy, this may have been "Hard As Nails" but with your extremely talented and gifted hands, you turned this ordinary piece of wood into a masterpiece! Bravo Maestro!
Pretty piece of wood. You used a great design as well. Super piece.
Cheers 👍
What a beautiful work of art!!
Вы удивительный мастер, очередное прекрасное изделие с безупречно выраженным рисунком созданным природой и искусно представлен мастером. Браво👏👏👏👍👍👍
Lovely work Andy - I'm glad you highlighted the inclusions rather than fill them as they really compliment the figure of the Oak!
Many thanks!
Well done Andy; they are not defects{inclusions} but, beauty marks!!!
What a STUNNING piece great shape and fantastic grain patterns you dont half get some lovely bits of wood
Thanks
Stunning work on a beautiful piece of Oak Burl. I really enjoyed this one.
Thanks
Wow, what a beautiful piece, looks great. 😊
Thank you!
What a start to the new year….a beautiful creation from a dull dried out stump ♥️ Happy New Year to all 🎉
Thanks ..HNY
Stunning! It's a piece of art! ❤
Another excellent piece, shape is brilliant!
What a beautiful vase Andy flawless as usual
It’s so beautiful! Love everything about it! ❤
This is perhaps my favorite of all the pieces I’ve watched you produce. Love that you took the time to clean up and finish the individual cracks. Nice composition, beautiful result. Well done indeed.
Favorite 2x channel on youtube
Beautiful as always, Andy
thanks!
Very beautiful. Wonderful work
That is a very creative use of a woodworm screw in a chuck on a surface that is not in perfect contact with the jaws of the chuck. I never thought to try that. The extended jam chuck that you used to detail the bottom of the vase was something that I need to try.
I bought a new phone awhile ago now and I’d lost all the CZcams channels I used to watch. Getting older I couldn’t remember your name / CZcams channel but thank goodness I found you again 😅 another beautiful creation by you ❤
Thanks .. glad you found the channel again 👍
Beautiful! 👍💪✌
Thank you
im vry happy for u congratulations. the traveler has become one of my favs ever since the first video i watched. thank u for all that u have done and will continue to do
In a way this is one of my favorite examples of your art because all the flaws and imperfections make it somehow perfect.
Thank you so much
Beauty sans bling. Totally compelling and satisfying. You have such an uncanny eye for line, and form, and overall esthetic impact, Andy! 👍
Thank you 👍
It’s a stunning piece!
Thankyou
Beautiful piece once again Andy! Gotta build me a steady rest! Thanks for the inspiration and stay safe.
Thank you
Beautiful piece of wood. Nicely turned. Thank you.
Thank you
I was impressed that you could create this vase with the way the wood looks,kinda rough to me.but your the master.great video as always.just keep doing what your doing.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Thank you very much!
You can hear how hard the wood is by the sound of the turning chisel. Wonderful work, Andy👍. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹.
Thanks
Very pretty! I like the clip where you install the steady rest. Thank you for showing it. I also like the sanding disc modification too. Very ingenious.
Thanks
That is absolutely gorgeous and I love the wood you used. ❤❤🎉🎉😊
Thanks
you are an amazing woodturner
Very beautiful Andy.
Thank you thank you thank you for NOT filling the holes with resin or whatever... This is of course Very beautiful!

A peppy editing rhythm and much better "interior" lighting. The vase was really nice. I enjoyed the video.
Thanks
Loved the shape and the natural edge! Stunning work!
Thanks so much
Stunning Andy absolutely Stunning!
Cheers
A really beautiful piece Andy! The grain and rich color are fantastic!
Many thanks!
Absolutely gorgeous texture to the wood.
You, sir, are quite an artist.
Thank you 👍
Boy you sure do detail finish work. I know what I’d do with that beautiful piece. I’d put one of those fake candle sticks down inside and watch a beautiful glow shine through the little crevices 😻 nice wrk Andy. ❤️
Thanks 👍
What a fab piece of wood, your hard work paid off its stunning .😊
Wow, as always your work is just fantastic
Hours and hours of work to make such a beautiful peace

Sehr sehr schön geworden, Andi!!! Mega!
Thanks 👍
Well done. Nice work Sir.
Beautiful, Andy.
Thankyou👍
Wait, wasn't that a rock?! Lol. I love the bottom section that looks like it's being turned and pulled like silly putty but it's petrified wood turned into a gorgeous masterpiece.
Big, bold and beautiful, congratulations
Thank you!
Salutations à vous d'Algérie, un très merveilleux chef-d'œuvre

It might have been hard for you to turn but we love how it turned out!!! It's very beautiful ANdy and an excellent job turning it!!!

I like that you decided not to use resin another beautiful piece ❤
Thanks

Thank you! You too!
I love it. ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful as always and nice that you only oil your work to it's beauty out and not paint your beautiful work
Thankyou
Very cool work Andy as usual
Thanks Sandie
Hi Andy. Happy New Year. You've got the steadiest carving hands I've ever seen. Perfect steady lines. Kinda Mesmerizing.
Thanks .. same to you
Beautiful result as always. I love the look of that new tool. I assume it improves the stability of what's being turned. It looks like the wood workers answer to the flux capacitor.
Thanks .. yes, a steady rest
That is exquisite! The shape works perfectly with the grain and the oil brings everything out. As they say these days, it "pops"!
It doesn't matter what you do: what piece of wood you have; what shape it starts and ends as; what level of simplicity or intricacy; what outcome you require; whether you use those swirling colours in the resin or "just" a single colour painted on it in certain places, or what finish you use (e.g. this beautiful oil), absolutely everything you do becomes a stunning work of art.
I don't know if you have a physical (rather than digital) gallery, but you should have one to show prospective buyers the works in their very best light. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with your online presentation, but you're relying on _us_ to have sufficiently good screens to see things close to how they really are!
I wish I'd learned about wood turning decades ago when I was physically capable of doing it. (I knew _of_ it, but as with so many things back then, doing woodwork at school as a girl would have required so many hoops to jump through and my mother wouldn't have been happy about it either! Dad, on the other hand, let me use his tools - including his jigsaw, drill, etc - from about 7 years-old 😅. I wasn't allowed to cook until I was about 10 because I couldn't see over the tops of the various pans. Safety first!)
Now various disabilities would stop me even trying. Arthritic hands don't let me knit or embroider anymore, and I used to do single thread embroidery with the smallest, sharpest needles - about as intricate as that gets - and other techniques such as pulled threads (making the first snip of thread was scary!). Given that, "shaving" the external shape of a vase would be impossible after about 30 seconds. Had I learned back then, at least I'd have had a few decades of being so creative! Well, _trying_ to be so creative 😂😂😂.
Still, you do inspire me to get my watercolour pencils out, now and then. Even my oil paints. So thank you for keeping that faint internal light of creativity switched on. I _genuinely_ mean every word of this and I am _genuinely_ grateful. Sorry for the essay, but again, thank you for sharing your awesome talent.
Thankyou .. I appreciate your kind words
Awesome work brother
Thank you!
At 5:13 the striations in the wood makes it look like the piece was twisted. ❤
Beautiful piece sir.
Thank you!
what kind of finish did you use on it?
Nice one 👍
HAPPY NEW YEAR, Andy!!!
your talent & creativity never ceases to amaze me, I often refer to your pieces as conversation pieces as they inspire comments on their beauty & workmanship...from shaping to finish, this piece is another beautiful work of art, the finish brought the woodgrain alive!!!
Thankyou , Same to you!
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Thankyou
Gorgeous ❤
Thank you
Stunning
Thanks
Hi Andy what a marvellous piece of wood it has gorgeous grain and spalting, I totally love this wood. I'm glad you left this live edged vase natural and I like the foot on the vase, and I'm glad you did not add resin as it makes even more magnificent and unique. I really live all your hard work how many times did you have to sharpen your tools? The finished vase is magnificent and awesome I really love it. Thanks for another great video again. Amanda xx
Thanks Amanda .. I cant remember but it was a few ..
That is an absolute corker. I love your natural edge pieces. And you were right not to fill the cracks. The beauty of this piece comes from the grain and the way it springs into focus with a rich varnish. Anyone with good technical skills could do the colour pencil type of thing, but transforming a grotty old bit of timber into a thing of beauty is fine art. Do your wrists ache after working on very hard timber?
No, not really .. thank you
Very nice piece
Thank you
Really amazing work, Andy! Really stunning piece!!! 😃
Happy new year! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you ..same to you
Awesome!
Happy New Year Andy. This one came out GREAT, would look nice with a tea light candle in it! !! !!!
Thanks .. same to you
Beech burl?
Just treated myself to a myford ml8. Been practicing over christmas. I now have a new found respect for the art you produce. Beautiful work! ❤❤
Oak burl 👍 ..thanks
Please make The Elder Wand from the Harry Potter franchise. Oh and make it out of elder wood please. I saw another wood worker do it and I know you could do it a lot better. You’re my favorite wood worker to watch.
