Not sure what made me more nervous - the first few spins when you fired the lathe up, or turning blind with the chisel out of sight through a inch-and-a-half hole 😂 outstanding mate - well done 👍🏻

I wish I could look at a piece of wood and not just see what it is, but also see what it could be.

Such a beautiful piece of wood!. I don't think I have ever seen Laburnum wood before. The grain is fabulous.

What I really appreciate in your work is the experience, the artistry, the clear mind and the vivid imagination of what will become from that raw piece of wood. Beautiful, thank you for sharing

it looked like a strobe light spinning with all that chatoyance, just incredible

Laburnum aka Golden Chain. We had a huge one when I was growing up. It was gorgeous in full bloom. I didn't know the grain would be gorgeous as well. Good job!

No matter how many live edge turning videos I watch, I can never comprehend when you put it on sideways at the start, how it will turn out in the end. Always a mystery.

Yes, who doesn't love a Laburnum log, especially when it's turned into something so beautiful! This is gorgeous!💖

Beautiful work! It is absolutely stunning!

Beautiful! Love the color of the wood and the design!

Beautiful grain on it…had a proper wobble on the machine at the start!

Love the natural wood. Amazing grain patterns. Thanks for your work.

If I lived near one of these wood turners I would do all their sanding and polishing for free lol. I love watching the finished product turn from wood to glass like

That was another great job and now I can see the grian from the outside of the log to the center and it is really beautiful job Andy.

The wood grain is absolutely beautiful, but those little Band-Aids on those cracks are just adorable.

Absolutely beautiful Andy! One of my favorite projects you have done.

So simple in design, so complex in execution. Another masterpiece!

That's awesome how it turned out when u put it on there at first with the flat part facing u I didn't know how it was gonna turn out if it was gonna bounce around or what was gonna happen but u did a great job and it looks awesome 👌

I can imagine that your wife has many of your beautiful items all around the house. Once again you made something beautiful out of just an ordinary wood log.

So creative and beautiful! I agree with the poster below regarding the strong and steady hands required.....impressive! I love your small inserts which remind me of butterfly steri-strips healing the "ouchies."

That was great to watch a real craftsman at work i enjoyed every minute.

Wood in it's beautiful natural glory. ❤️❤️

Absolutely gorgeous and awesome job.

Late night turning with Andy.....very cool and some nice wee bow ties 🎀 🪵

You always come up with such interesting and elegant designs! Beautiful work as always!

Truly a beautiful piece! Our laburnum tree is not nearly that large, but I've gotten enough off various prunings to make some nice tool/chisel handles,. It has a bunch of different 'local ' names, around here it is called a Golden Chain Tree. -Veteran '66-68

That's what you called a masterpiece of work.

I love the camera shots that make it look like you are carving invisible wood, so freakin cool!

Clean. And very elegant in its simplicity: Beautiful work, Andy. 👏👏👏👏👏

This guy is mad with skills in my opinion the best wood turner I ever saw

Bow ties..... now your just showing off! LOVE IT never seen bow ties on lathe work...

Hi Andy. The laburnum has a very pretty grain to it. And it looked like it required a strong but steady hand to carve it. It's beautiful.

What a stunning piece, quite simple with regards shape, but that grain is superb!

Wow! I can’t even sharpen a pencil you do beautiful work 🍾

It is absolutely stunningly beautiful

I'm always amazed when i see a video like this, that doesn't end up with a hole gouged through to the outside. Whats the magic behind that?

That wood is absolutely beautiful and what lovely markings it has.😊❤❤❤

Beautiful! Nice work!

BEAUTIFUL!!! TYFS

Mate the grain in that piece is stunning nice work the oil really brings it to light well done 👍🦘🇦🇺

Nice work Andy. .I really liked the tool for internal machining

Never seen a log planed like that before, usually with the grain. Turned out great, love it

The bowties are such a classy repair.

I knew this would be good as soon as you attached it by the side, not the end.

Just a simple shape, but beautiful results.

Хорошая получилась работа, браво мастеру!!! 🤝👍👍👍👍👍

yes I do think I love me a laburnum log...all dressed up too! :D Amazing work hollowing it out (or whatever term is more appropriate.)

Andy this is stunning! You are incredible and a creative genius!

Sangat indah 👍 Terimakasih telah berbagi 🙏

Really appreciate your work! I have learned so much about how to improve my own turning technique. Thank you.

Thnak you.

There is a look of Tiger Eye stone as the light hits the pale area. I love how you add a twist of interest to your pieces, they’re never run of the mill 👍

Beautiful hollow form. Love the red bow tie.

You really know how to celebrate the beauty of wood. 👍👍❤️

Beautiful piece as always.Laburnum has to be one of my favorite woods to turn not had a decent chunk like that sadly only small pieces

Andy, once again I must compliment you on a fine job as usual.

A beautiful piece, both from the design point of view and its natural beauty. Love the contrasting bow ties. A clever way to fix the problem whilst looking like they were part of the design before you even knew about the cracks. Talking about design, do you sketch out (or design "architecturally" to the mm) before you start the process, or do you think "vase!" or whatever it is you come up with, and then let the wood guide you to the actual end shape? Obviously some like the 3D chess board & set would require a lot of planning, but it's more this sort of work that I'm thinking about. You do it so naturally that it seems like you're doing one extreme or the other when it comes to the design. However you do it, you never fail to amaze me with your skill and artistic eye. Bravo, squire, you did it again!

You need a clear plastic screen behind you, keep cuttings in one place! I have seen small Laburnum, but never as large as this, you keep us all guessing what its going to be, another excellent work of art.

Beautiful !

What a great result with a piece of wood with so much character.

How can you not like this. You can tell he knows what he's doing, he still has all his fingers.

Always love watching your videos your so creative👍👍👍

Wonderful grain!

I thought you were on your way to another earth piece for a minute there, Andy. That Laburnum is quite understated in it's elegance. Love the bowties addition. Great piece! 😊 Phil

It's very beautiful, what does it do?

I am astonished at you tackling such a dangerous piece of raw stock. Amazing! You must be very experienced.

That is really cool. Love the grain of the wood. 💖💖💖

Every piece you make belongs in a museum!

That bow tie is cute!

I watch a lot of woodturning videos and this is one of my favourite finished products I have seen. 👏🏼

Gorgeous piece...love the PurpleHeart bowties!

I am amazed by your imagination!

Bonjour de la 🇫🇷 France.Est ce que les objets que Vous créez sont un travail pour Vous ou une passion.Je Vous regarde faire et je trouve vos vidéos très intéressantes,merci du partage et bonne journée ❤

Morning Andy ☕😊 Another Masterpiece 😍💜

Beautiful I love it.

This is golden (chain) as always Andy.

Incredible how someone so skilled can make something wonderful look so easy.

Hi Andy what beautiful wood its got lovely grain and markings and colours. What a magnificent piece you have just made, you really have a brilliant imagination and you are really clever. Thanks for a great video can't wait for your next one. Amanda xxx

Absolutely stunning piece of art. I dont understand tho the pieces that were inserted on the sides? Id love some enlightenment on that. TIA

Wood is such a beautiful media to work with... the colours and the grains are fantastic.

Very nice, I love the bowties.

Very beautiful Andy.

Fantastic design!!! I especially love the pop of colour from the split patch!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️ …won’t deny I thought you’d lose the lathe in the beginning, considering all the shaking!!! 😅

I would be wearing full body armor working on that thing before it got smoothed down.

The wood appears to be spinning at least 500 RPM God forbid if it ever got ejected 😮. This is my first woodturning video ever. I'm a big fan now 😊

Nicely done Andy. Take care my friend and enjoy the trekking Cheers Harold

I have never seen like bend 👌tool lubrinium hollw form you did nice comment from india

When I was young my late father had little lathe which was powered by a mains powered drill and 'played' on it for hours with a bit of 2x2 never made anything decent just enjoyed it. Andy,s a talented guy, produces very good stuff

good video. I found it informative . As a beginner/intermediate pen turner, It looks like a good size of laser for me.

I do love me a labium log.

I LIKE It A LOT ANDY.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Gorgeous piece,love the grain of the wood your still killing it.kudos.I see your construction crew is still on hiatus,yea,yea,we know.glad to see your cleaning crew hasn’t left you. I know l knowLOL. Your talent just keeps coming thru,love the fix on the crack.😎😎😎👍👍👍🪵🪵🪵

Very elegant!

Ciao Andy, apprezzo molto i tuoi lavori e la tua tecnica, a me incuriosisce gli arnesi che utilizzi, quando hai cominciato a scavare , prima de collo di cigno hai utilizzato una sgorbia che mi piacerebbe vedere nel suo dettaglio. Complimenti per il tuo modo di operare.

I just smoked a joint and this is the coolest stuff

Oh wow! He even has a shavings blower machine tool thing!!! (9:17)I didn’t realise how much I needed these videos in my life to relax me until I stumbled on this channel today! Thank you 🙏🏼

Very nice. Like the look of the "bow ties" 😃

Wow! I just wonder what this is used for in the end. But great craftsmanship and beautiful design!

Great work , beautiful piece ! Congratulations from Brazil
