I’m ceaselessly amazed at how craftsmen like you are able to visualize a piece of art from within a piece of wood that would otherwise be rotting in the woods somewhere. For the longest time, I’ve just been using UKposts to watch you and Matt Jordan. Love and admiration from 🇺🇸.

Andy i am a retired Nurse who did a very very small amount of woodturning in my early 40s and i loved it but it was what most people think when you say woodturning, stair spindles! I have been watching several of your videos and i am truly in awe. You give a whole new meaning to wood turning/carving and it is absolutely beautiful. I have fallen back in love with wood because of you but i am now 70 and know it wouldn't matter what equipment i had i could never dream of producing what you produce. You are a wood artist. Congratulations. You are incredibly talented and i wish i could afford one of your pieces as it would have pride of place in my living room. Keeeep turning!

This is the first time I've seen someone work with Yew like this. I had no idea it had such color variation. I love how you worked with the nature and shape of the wood and didn't try to fill in the voids. The finished piece is so interesting, so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Another absolutely gorgeous sculpture….the colours are so lovely…I like to watch these videos before I go to bed as it counteracts the horrors of the day in 2021.

I see others turn roots but they don't turn out anywhere near that perfect. You have an exceedingly Gracious gift. Beautiful!

There are people, many people, who can look at a tree and marvel at the beauty of nature, but it takes an artist to look beyond the surface and reveal the real wonder that lies beneath and enhance it even more. You, sir, are that artist. This is such a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing your vision and your skill with everyone.

This might be my favorite piece I’ve ever seen turned. Wow 🤩. Would make an amazing lamp. Like low warm light in a cabin type I’m thinking.

Какая красота!Вы мастер своего дела!чем закрученней коряжка тем красивее рисунок изделия из дерева получается!очень нравятся ваши работы 👍👍👍👍🇰🇿

I like the natural wood and the grain movement is unreal. This is one of my favorite pieces.

How a person would thumbs down on this video is totally beyond me 🤷🏻‍♂️. This is meditative and peaceful at minimum.

Oh my gosh‼️ what a SPECTACULAR job‼️ The grain is magnificent!!! A beautiful job well done!!

I cannot say enough just how much I love that piece. The color variations in the wood are so amazing. I'm glad that you didnt use any epoxy or other materials with this piece. The grain is so beautiful on its own

IDK if it's just me but does anyone else find this sort of thing mesmerizing as well as therapeutic?!

I love how you manage to accentuate the beauty of what Mother Nature already created. It's a work of art!

I can't stop looking at these videos. The hidden treasures in the wood brought out by the artist. AMAZING

Неожиданное, смелое решение! 😊 Великолепный результат! 👍 Вы - великий Повелитель красивого дерева! ❤️ Здоровья Вам и новых шедевров! 🙏

UKposts recommended this to me randomly. As a first time viewer with zero experience or real interest in woodworking, this was interesting enough to keep me for the whole thing. Good job.

That’s one of the most beautiful natural pieces I’ve ever seen turned

Вот где философия жизни - Мастерстве и Ремесле. Спасибо за творчество! Респект вашим Золотым Рукам и Светлой Голове!

That's a very beautiful piece. I can only imagine how nerve racking it must have been to hollow it out. Amazing work

As a landscaper I have pulled -by hand- 100s of yew stumps over the years(taxus). The part where you drill the heart out..... it felt like that last root finally gave for me. Thank you! Cathartic!

Beauty, in its purest form, is exquisitely revealed. All accomplished without a word.

Beautiful piece of art!! Well done!! I'd be proud to have it on display in my home.

Having reduced yews several times and knowing how quickly they can go through chains, I can only tip my hat to your chisel sharpening skills. Beautiful end result, I love how you tailor your approach to each piece, but yew is a special wood and it certainly looked fantastic when you'd finished. Thank you for the upload.

That's the most amazing thing I have ever seen....to be able to bring out the inner beauty of that root. Beautiful!

This piece right here...this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen someone create. Bravo!

4:09 GOOD HOLY GOD THE PURPLES that is incredible. i thought i have seen the best of the best in woodturning already but i mean this has to be the most gorgeous thing ever turned

Oh no you didn't....OH YES YEW DID...lol....Just couldn't resist.... I love how you honored the wood and it's shape(s). In carving out the inside & not shying away from it...showed that you appreciated the wood exactly as it was. Then by sanding the openings so they were smooth all the way around you showed they each had their rightful place in the prominence of the whole. You have a great eye Andy. This is a beautiful piece.

This piece needs to be displayed on a slow turning stand - then stared at for 5 minutes to take in the amazing grains mined out of that ugly little stump. My life looked like that stump before Jesus healed my brokenness. Now (30 years later) it’s beautiful like your work. Such a fine finished product Andy. Truly one of a kind, a small marvel.

Come on now! The most beautifully unique turns to date in my opinion! Absolutely phenomenal! Definitely something to be proud of and deserves to be put on display somewhere for the world to appreciate! Wow! Kudos to you sir! Simply breathtaking!

the before and after is just jaw dropping. I would have loved to see the holes filled with epoxy resin. But It's a matter of taste. But also ensure that it can be used, not just look pretty.

Не перестаю удивляться как получаются такие шедевры ❤

This piece is SO gorgeous! You made that look so easy but I’m sure it’s only because of your skill and subtle touch. Thanks for sharing!

That root ball produced some interesting optical effects when it was spinning. I love seeing what results one can get from root balls and burls. Stunning piece! I would give it pride of place!

A classic example of where you're not paying for the labour hours - although obviously, there are plenty of those - you're paying for the years of expertise and the vision to create something beautiful out of a piece of "waste wood". The skill in using the chisel so smoothly despite all the different densities and voids is amazing. And so too with using things like that circular jig to keep things in place while doing the interior - people who really know their tools and can come up with great solutions to tricky procedures are fascinating to watch. It's also great that these craftspeople can promote their work to a wider audience and hopefully earn a bit of extra revenue doing so. I know how hard it is for artists to make an actual living at their work. Finally, the person who said that this retained the character of the wood perfectly was spot on. Not in the slightest bit over-finished - just smooth and beautiful with the colours bought out perfectly with that subtle non-plasticky finish.

Nature reveals her BEAUTY ❤️🙏🏽.....the job of THIS man IS like jewelery , artist 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Generally, Mr. Phillip, your videos have given me something to aspire to in my own shop. This one just makes me realize that there are skill levels in turning that it is useless for me to aspire to. 99 ways for that to go wrong for every one that resulted in such success, and yet you make it look easy. Absolutely astonishing craftsmanship in this work, and the wood itself came through with stunning colors and texture. World class work.

Stunning, and the colours are beautiful - the purple and lilac against the creamy white is amazing. Quite scary thought - particularly when using the Forstner bit.

3AM here and I am watching *woodturning* .UKposts algorithm, You've done it again👏👏👏

The natural hues and colors of the wood are amazing!

Какая красота! Мастеру браво! Разглядеть в обычном корне такую красоту - это дорогого стоит.

Absolutely Gorgeous! You are an artist. Only someone who is a true visionary could have seen the potential in that gnarled old root!

fabulous so nice to see a piece with so much natural color and NO RESIN

Congratulations Mr: Andy. You used to give a new chance for the old woods; They have been born again !

I am reminded of the ugly duckling that became a beautiful swan. You took nature and with a keen eye turned it into a beautiful piece of art.

Красота невероятная! Это надо же увидеть в коряге будущий шедевр. Высший пилотаж, восхищению моему нет предела. 👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you for having the talent and vision to reveal this beauty!

Would look lovely with multi colour fairy lights flickering in side it. Beautiful markings.❤❤❤❤❤❤

That is one of the most beautiful pieces of wood I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing with us.

Браво мастеру.Это просто бомбическая ваза получилась!!!Завораживающее зрелище по обработке коряги,в начале даже страшно,такой дисбаланс все таки.Понравилось.Красиво.

Wow! Magnificent!! Not just your art but the colors and the natural grain....im speechless! A definite masterpiece 👌 👏

مبدع . مبدع . مبدع . عمل جميل جدا . تحية طيبة من المملكة العربية السعودية . 🇸🇦

Love how optimistically cautious he is! He is a pro at this for sure love watching him create art! This is very dangerous if you don't know what your doing. Beautiful work of art!

i see the thumbnail to the video and think, "what the heck can you do with that thing!?" then i tune in and watch. beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and ty for sharing the beauty you find. nature is amazing! the skills you have to make something out of a chunk of wood it truely a talent.

What a beauty!!!! You have a real treasure. How fortunate to be able to look at it every day. An incredibly beautiful piece

Just watched this again. That's a SERIOUSLY sick piece of wood man.

I just inherited a wood lathe, + this video has built- up my confidence to try it out .very cool Thank-You!

Amazing how much beauty there is hidden in what some people would just burn, absolutely stunning, well done.

Wooooow 😮 Didnt think id be able to watch as the wood was a little bit too textured at the beginning for the old brain, but i did it. Bloody amazing!

Yew is my favourite wood, the contrast of cherry and birch colours. The purples are rare! And this is exquisite... I am in love 😍

Рисунок на дереве, просто бомба! И работа хорошая, мастер молодец! 👍

From such a humble beginning that emerged. What else is there to say? GORGEOUS!

That finished product is gorgeous ! Very, very nice work !

This wood is beautiful. What a wonderful piece.

I LOVE watching wood turning videos. Each finished piece is a gorgeous masterpiece. But I do usually find myself saying, "I wish they'd left just a little more of the wood in there, somehow the full character of that beautiful piece of wood didn't quite make it through.." For the first time, I did NOT say that. It is perfection. ❤

I'm glad you kept it in its original form, the colours and patterns are just stunning

Some of the most beautiful bowls I have ever seen have been spalted wood. Stumps that are slightly spalted are just gorgeous! Beautiful work. ❤

I, for one, am rooting for yew Andy

WOW! What an amazing craftmanship and what a beautiful work of art!

Mr. Phillip's I'm a beginner wood turner and enjoy watching a few videos at the end of the night. I've seen hundreds for amazing turns and I think this is close to the top. Incredible piece!

So beautiful. I could sit and watch your videos all day long. You do such amazing masterpieces

Amazing!! The colours on that thing... looks like Jupiter just exploded..

Looking at you making such beautiful peace of art with a dirty root Make me think about us “We’re all beautifully made , we can be transformed inside out . We’re never too old , ugly and unusable “

Thanks for making a lot of folks happy with your art!

...very well done!...yew took a doorstop and turned it into a beyewtiful work of art!!!...👍

Невозможно оторваться от просмотра 😍

♥️♥️♥️GORGEOUS ♥️♥️♥️ doesn’t even begin to describe my feeling for the piece!!! I absolutely love it!!! Very nice job sir

Amazing work to turn out such a Beautiful piece. Yew'll go far.

Really a beautiful piece love how you left the holes makes it stand out very unique. love it!!

as soon as i seen the purple in it i fellin love with the peice turned out amazing

As much as a love this video and how much of an amazing job you did on this piece… the amount of anxiety I get from watching you turn this is immeasurable 😅

The purple colour that comes through was so surprising and beautiful.

I don’t like videos very often this one was very well deserved

And this piece is why I subscribed, those ROOTS! Very impressive work Andy.

WOW, this piece is absolutely beautiful. The colors, the patterns, the grain. Congratulations on bringing out the beauty of wood.

One never knows what’s hiding in an old stump until the right person gets a hold of it. Nice job sir.

God made the tree and Andy found the bowl. Nice team work. Beautiful result.

Beautiful, amazingly beautiful! Thank you.

I gotta admit, at first I was certain you'd fill it full of epoxy. I'm so glad you didn't. This is excellent. Congratulations!

I could stare at this for hours. Simply amazing Andy.

The colours make it look like polished rock to me. Amazing how it's come out!

So lovely. It looks like a magical planet surrounded by seas. Thank you for your art. S

One of the most beautiful pieces of wood I’ve seen with equally well done craftsmanship

I am beyond excited that you didn't set this into resin. Gorgeous piece of work! 11/10!!!

This was amazing! I love the purple pattern against the yellow in contrast, the natural color of this piece is amazing! I'm glad you decided to bring out its beuty! Most would discard this piece! I'm glad you made it something beutiful!

Half way through that it was beautiful, the colours were fantastic. Wow just awesome 👌

It's like the beauty was always inside and you just found a way to show it to everyone.

I love the irregular organic beauty of this piece.

Beautiful. I waited to see the finish. Exquisite. Vetri South African Indian.

This might be my favorite piece of wewd ever 😮
