Woodturning - It was maybe better left as a log !!

In this wood turning video I turn a natural edge bowl from an Ash crotch log, I was a bit gutted to lose all the natural colours that were on this log, I thought the finished piece was a bit bland in comparison..

  • I guess this hunk of wood could have been left as is but then we wouldn't be admiring this uniquely fabulous conversation piece now would we Andy?!!!

  • I always love it when you leave the "natural" edge on a piece. Great work even if it's not what you hoped for.

  • So I woke up on a not very promising Friday morning thinking I could just fancy one of your videos as I think about getting up and giving the cat his breakfast and there you are with a natural edge bowl too which are my absolute favourites. What a treat! There's nothing wrong with it Andy, it's beautiful and one of your specialities. Your "bread and butter" pieces put everyone else's best efforts in the shade. Yes, I like the coloured pencils, the many-coloured mosaics, the free-ring goblets, the triumph of ingenuity and technique over materials; but finding the beauty in the most unpromising chunk of timber is real craftsmanship. The rest is highly enjoyable showing off!

  • Thats beautiful, you don't have to glue lots of colour's and pressure resins, beautiful in their own way. Ash can be a plain timber, but you have made it shine in your own way.

  • The oil restored the majority of the grain, at least in my view. The final outcome reminded me of a fruit basket (if it had handles!), so it's a perfect fruit bowl. I'd very happily have that on my side table filled with different fruits. My grandchildren would empty it in a few hours! I understand why you said what you did, but it's a beautiful piece nonetheless. The grain is a lot clearer with the oil and it's restored the wood's innate beauty.
