It Is Amazing What Bugs and Rotting Wood Can Be Turned Into…
For this weeks video, I decided I need to take a break from the talking and just relax while turning this beautiful piece of spalted maple. This chunk of log was from the log that I used my chainsaw mill on for the first time so it has been sitting for quite a while which is why I finally took the time to turn it before it was just too far gone. To be honest, this piece was a little more tricky to turn than what the video may seem as some of the wood was a little more punky and soft for what I would normally like so that took some effort to get right but overall I am glad I took the time as this was just too beautiful of a piece of wood to waste. Let me know, do you like the videos with o...

This Wood Is Invasive and Seemed Unusable so I Decided To Turn a Bowl From It
Просмотров 36 тыс.21 день назад
Sometimes you just have to let yourself be creative and see what happens and that is exactly what I did when I attempted to turn this badly cracked Bradford pear wood that I was not sure was even usable. This piece of wood has been sitting for months now and after never deciding exactly what I wanted to make from it, I figured it was time to just bust out the chainsaw and just see what happens ...

After attempting to core on my extension last year & getting a gnarly catch, I put away the thought of doing that again until now. I figured why not try to turn this 24" piece of maple & attempt to core on my extension just to see if I learned anything since my last try & also just to see if it can actually be done. What was supposed to be a one & done attempt lead me to weeks worth of turning ...

One of the Prettiest Bowls I Have Turned and It Was Made by Ants…

A few weeks ago, I had turned a walnut bowl that was riddled and decaying from ants. I decided not to film it since I was not sure if the wood would be any good when I started working with it. Well long story short, It ended up being one of my favorite bowls I have turned so far this year. Luckily I still had more of this walnut so I decided to turn another bowl from it but this time you would ...

Decided to just take it easy with this bowl and just show the process of how I turned this maple wood bowl with texture one afternoon a few weeks ago without speaking. I still remember the very first textured bowl I turned back in 2017 from a piece of poplar of all woods. I feel in love with the look of textured wood back then and it has been one of my favorite things to add to a bowl since. He...

I decided late last year that 2024 would be a year where I try new things, experiment with my wood turning & see if I can be a little more artistic with my work. I have always had a habit when I turn that anything I make (or at least the majority) needs to have "purpose" whether that be a salad bowl, fruit bowl, serving bowl, etc. I finally decided to step out of my comfort zone with this maple...

I Tried Using Leather To Fix This Cracked Wood Turned Bowl

Trying something a little different this week where I take a bowl that has some huge splits & cracks, turn it, & use some leather cord to make a beautiful wood bowl. To be 100% honest, at first I was sort of skeptical whether I would like this or not but now that this bowl is finished, I am a total fan of the leather stitches & look forward to incorporating them into future work!

Thank you buddy and i like all the work you do with your wood work man
Beautiful
Amazingly beautiful. ❤
Thank you for sharing. Beautiful piece. Love the natural look.
Awesome piece.👍🏻
Gorgeous
Came from TikTok. Thanks for these full process videos! I had been wondering about your attachment approach, now I know it's big ol structural screws!
One word: STUNNING.
Андрей? Андрей МакКарн? Это что псевдоним? Работа проделана колоссальная, результат потрясающий, но к чему эти псевдонимы? Неужели нельзя быть самим собой?
I totally agree. Very nice....
Nuostabus meno kūrinys 👍👍👍. Linkiu sėkmės kuriant grožį. Linkėjimai iš Lietuvos 🇱🇹
I think bug runs and any other flaw in the wood gives it a one-of-a-kind feel to it. Keep on turning..❤
Hi Andrew What a beautiful natural story from front to end. If I were to make one little wish - I would love to do what you are doing. I love big chunks of challenging wood. Your skill is beautiful and delivered with humility and grace. A real joy. Keep doing what you do.
Love the shape
Love the lacy ant holes. I’ve turned some dizzy grubs a time or two.
Another great piece! Well done, Andrew. An idea popped in my head - maybe one time, when you stumble upon a crazy spalted piece like this one, you could turn it into a globe of a fictional planet? You could use the pyrography tool to name all the oceans and continents :) Just an idea ;) Just so you know, I totally get it that some episodes may be silent, just you doing your work. But I adore the ones that you put some personal commentary in. It gives your perspective, how you feel about the piece and so on. And I love the jokes you slip in :) Cheers, all the best!
Hermoso trabajo!
That’s some pretty amazing spalting. It turned out beautiful! Thanks Andrew!
Thank you Brenda!
Krásná práce
Lovely piece again. Well done. 😊
Thank you!!
Nice work. I love me some Bradford.
beauty
"Bug Bowl" is absolutely perfect, love ur work Andrew ❤
I love turning Bradford Pear. It cuts well and finishes like glass. Awesome work!
It is such a nice wood to work with! Wish I had more chances to turn it
@@andrewmccarn Talk to your local tree businesses. They love getting rid of the stuff.
Very nice lovely grain, another great video, I miss the voice over.
Thank you! The voice overs arent going anywhere, just throwing these in the mix every so often!
Beautiful as always! That shape never gets old.
Thank you! These concave style shapes are probably one of my favorite designs to turn. I love the way they look!
Amazing work Andrew, very nice piece. Tell me how do you achieve the video “pan” in many of your shots. Is it post edit or? Appreciate your sharing cheers. Footnote: whilst reading through your posts I came across a pic of your camera mounted on a rail. I have to say you’re a master of videography - well done.
I really like and wish I could turn what you are, at the moment I have major heart issues and have a heart op coming up soon. What screws do you use Please.
Yhat wood is so beautiful. On one hand I agree with the previous comment about embracing bug runs, but enhancing them the way it was done on this bowl, I was not a big fan of. But, . . . This was Your turning not mine and this is your art. I just thought it was so beautiful before breaking out the Dremel. But you're a great woodturner, and boy I wish I had that heavy duty of a lathe!
The spalting is spectacular!
Man, that bowl came alive when you applied the finish! Another beautiful bowl!
Beautiful bowl, Andrew! Love your work and your eye for the bring the wood to its full potential! Thanks, Scott
What a superb piece. Simply wow😊
Wonderful piece!
The damage they can do, so nice to see the finished product....I would display with joy
Nicely done! Personally I like bug holes!
I know you got frustrated by the bug holes but I’m glad this one didn’t end up in the fire pit!
What finish did you use? Beautiful piece!
Looks good.
Beautiful work. Great edit and music choices.
Wow! Stunning piece. I was liking what you had and was anticipating the finish going on. When that first wipe across the wood with the oil happened, my eyes about popped out. Stunning my friend.
You are one of the few turners to embrace and enhance bug runs in wood turnings. I have always thought those things add character to wood turnings. Filling them with resins, at least to me, takes away from the natural beauty of the wood and what the turner does with his/her artistic flare. Nice one, Andrew!!
That spalting is phenomenal!! Good save! Usually, if I find something like that, it's too rotten to turn. I have started using cactus juice and a vacuum chamber. You have to heat it up to activate the resin, and let's just say it's the fastest I've been kicked out to the dog house ever!! That stuff stinks, and now my wife has a new oven. I do have carpeting in my dog house now, though!! Beautiful piece, Andrew!! I love that form, too! Great video!! Thank you for sharing with us, and I always look forward to your videos!!
Its funny you mention that technique as I just watched a video where someone uses cactus juice to stabilize pen blanks! Its very interesting and have never hear of that and also the fact that it stinks, I would have never guessed lol and thank you Joe for watching! Always appreciate your comments!
Beautiful bowl Andrew! I know it’s a lot of work but well worth it! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you & thank you for taking the time to watch & comment!
Thanks for the reminder that there's often something very exciting on the inside.
Some of the best looking wood can often be the ugliest on the outside!
Bravo!
Thank you!
Beautiful work as always. Glad to see another video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎
Thank you!!
I’d say both types of videos. I like the natural deforming out of round from wet wood. How often do these crack after drying? Also is it best to let it dry in its own shavings to mostly avoid cracks? Thanks for sharing!
For the past year or so, I have had amazing luck and have had to deal with very minimal cracking. So the way I dry my bowls is very odd lol I first try to keep the walls around 1/4" thick or 5/8ths for salad bowls, do an initial rough sanding with 80 grit and then I just lay them around my AC vent in my office. Keeps a consistent temperature and air flow. Keep them there for a few weeks and then will move them in the shop about a week or so before I finish them just to acclimate. I probably will have maybe one out of every 25 bowls crack and even still its not a crack thats not repairable. But my advice is just experiment. I have tried making a box kiln, drying in shavings, etc. but this ended up working best for me after I had the initial thought of it but alot of it depends on the time of year and your location. In the winter time this past year, I just experimented with leaving them in the shop on the floor covered up since I dont have heat and that worked really well too. Hopefully this helps!
@@andrewmccarnThanks! I’m in Indiana so we have cold wet winters and humid summers. I don’t remember seeing/hearing where you’re from. I’ll give it a shot, thanks again!
Wow Andrew, this is beautiful work. The ugliest logs have some of the prettiest wood and you know how to use it.
I completely agree! You just never know what you will get when you cut into a rough looking log and thats a big part of the reason I love turning them. And thank you very much!
