Split and Spalted Ash

In this woodturning video, I fill a large split in a cool piece of Spalted Ash with epoxy and turn a hollow form.. The original plan was to keep the natural edge on this piece but the bark was loose and I thought it would be better to spin it and show off the filled split..

I had to Google "spalted", and I now feel educated as well as artistically entertained! The subtle amount of blue resin really set the markings off a treat. Absolutely beautiful!

When you began turning the natural edge away I went, so I'm glad you explained why you did it. I love the final shape of the vessel, and of course the spalting is exquisite.

Not only do I not have to work today, I wake up and see a new video from Andy. Today is going to be a really good day.

What a stunning piece of wood! It looks more like stone. Love the shape and the color of the resin, really lovely, keep going!

The art of seeing the end of a thing from the beginning is something not many people can see. You, my friend, see it clearly. Your best piece yet! Stunning!

Wow. Absolutely gorgeous piece of wood and work.

That is a fantastic piece. Tons of character in that piece of wood, and that touch of blue epoxy just adds to the piece. .

I don't think that could be improved in any way. The amazing natural patterning of the wood, the perfect contrast of the blue resin stripe. I love the pieces where the wood itself is the subject and you enable it to sing. Coloured pencils and mosaics of different coloured woods are great fun but there the star is the technique. Here it's all about the wood.

The spalting resembles lightning across the wood. I love the contrasting colors and subtle nuances.

Love it! Blue is the perfect colour to compliment the ash

Wow, I love the spalted wood and resin. I can't believe you actually hollowed out that vase so spectacular. Amazing

[christalbailey]

The veining is lovely. The touch of color doesn’t overwhelm the beautiful wood. Very nice!

That is a gorgeous vase. That wood is absolutely stunning.

[RenaLarson]

[judithfairchild]

Beautiful vase. Thank you for using the blue resin. It makes the rest shine with it.😊

Lovely Andy! The patern on the wood made think of the time that you used and electrical current to burn random lines on the wood. You master so many techniques!

[CraigInNC]

Beautiful. Split + spalted = splalted? The blue-green vein in it gives it an extra punch of wow. Thank you again for sharing.

That really is a beautiful piece of Spalted Ash. it is by far my favourite Type of wood, no matter what tree it comes from. It is unique in the way it is produced and every piece is so different. I really love what you have done with this by adding the resin. It really has finished it off fantastically.
