woodturning a stunning beautiful sculptural piece of wood art.

This is a ASMR style wood turning video making an unique apple piece from a quite rotten log. In fact the log was a lot more rotten than I first thought. Woodturning for me has always been about discovery, finding the beauitful forms and shapes that are lying gracefully inside a piece of wood waiting to be discovered. I only ever have a vague idea of what I'm trying to do when i start a turning and its the process of discovery that i find most interesting. After the piece is turned i can often see where the ideas have come from but in the moment of making I feel that it sort of evolves on its own. I hope you enjoy the video and would love to hear your views on it.
I am a woodturner working on the West coast of Ireland. I use wood that I salvage or find or that get blown down in storms, of which we have a lot of. I try to find ways to show the best of each piece of wood that I get. I hope that you enjoy watching how that happens. See this piece and others on my website richardwestwoodturner.com/col...

It seems that you and the wood did this sculpting as a team. Amazing how something so beautiful can come out of such a rotted chunk of wood. Fantastic!

Thank you Gwynn, at the start i had in mind maby some sort of a form with a copper leaf inside, but things changed and it worked out well. I think its one of the things i most enjoy is just letting things evolve from the prosses and what happens, happens. Thanks for watching.
