Winged bowl...live edge bowl...work of art...all of the above...beautiful.....I am enjoying all of your videos...
I'm so glad, Loraine, thank you for spending time with me! 😊
Back in the 50s and 60s the local lumber mill provided the entire town of Hedgesville, WV with black cherry slab wood for their cast iron kitchen stoves and "Heatalators" for their living rooms. On cold mornings the entire small town smelled heavenly of cherry wood smoke. I'd give anything to be back in Hedgesville in the 1950s again. $50 a week was a decent wage back then to take care of the needs of an entire family and household. Slab wood and coal oil were very available and affordable. This 3-winged bowl you turned is beautiful.
I have read something VERY similar in a comment before, Freddie. Maybe one of your neighbors wrote it but it was close to word for word. Interesting in any event, thanks! 😊
Now that I think about it, I did mention it in a previous comment about cherry wood smoke. I bet I never mentioned the time my best friend and I as young teenagers hid in the woodshed out back and got drunk drinking Tiger Rose and Cherry Kijafa. My Pop used the razor strap on me for that stunt. I stayed away from booze ever since. The two of us helped Mr. Esterbennett paint his house (shack really) and got him to pay us in booze back in 1963.
Going back to reminiscence with the old vids. This one was awesome!!
Thanks for sticking with me, Michael! 😊
I am watching all your videos as they come up. Another great peace. 👍
Cool, thank you very much, Michael! 😊
Another really lovely piece - I'm spending a lot of time watching your channel and learning a lot.
Wonderful! Thank you for spending time with me, Richard! 😊
You are braver than I am. Handling the steel wool would be difficult while the lathe is running. Another work of art.
I don't use steel wool anymore, Stewart. Too messy! Now I use 3M abrasive pads, much more controllable and pleasant. 😄
Very cool shape. The wood and bark look beautiful. Love it!
Thank you very much! 😊
Looks like a star fish l love it
😊
Well there you go again look at that piece of wood that looks so good I'm amazed never seen anything like that I love it. Man I'm sorry but I like all of them. That looks like it should be in a 5 million dollar home that is cool
😊
Wow you have a lot of great videos , we are loving them! Still binge watching. But this one got me in trouble… the comment about “cleaning up before sanding” the boss was all over that one. 😂😂😂
LOL! Sounds like you better watch alone, Alan! 😊
What a beautiful piece of art.
Kinda like a butterfly! 😃
That is a lovely bowl. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Glad you like it, thank you! 😊
Cherry bark is so pretty 😍
😊
I am in awe of your skill,
You are too kind, Jack, thank you! 😊
That looks great Phil. You are an wood artist! You should show a picture of all your bowls/art.
Thank you! There is no place big enough to set out to take a picture! LOL!
it is a wonderfully warm little bowl
Cool, thank you, Joyce! 😊
Once again very nice.
You make it look so easy.
Thank you very much, Chuck! 😊
I truly enjoy your work!
Happy to hear that, Harvey, thank you so much! 😊
Beautiful work.
Thank you, Hubert! 😊
Howdy Phil, I can see a little cartoon animal in there. Really nice job. Best regards.
Cool, thanks, John! 😊
Beautiful again!!!!👍👍👍👍🎉👏🏻
Thank you, Jack!
Phil
Very nice job Phil I really like how that came out. Larry
😊
An 'Art' piece sits well with me Phil being as I am a retired Art Teacher here in South Australia. It is a beautiful finished piece.
Thank you, Donald!
Love the shape and form - bit different!
Thank you! 😊
Perfect job Phil, thanks
😊
Love it, great job!
verry nice phil one of your best yet
😊
Really turned out great!
Wow dear Phil this is stunning three winged bowl the grain and the bark inclusion is breathtakingly beautiful. You are the master of live edge bowls just awesome.
Thank you, Kobie, for your always encouraging comments, truly appreciated!
Phil
Another great piece!
Thank you, Barb! 😊
Hi Phil. Nice Job. Congratulations.
Thanks for watching, Paulo!
You make the comment you don’t know why you are going to do with a bowls you turn do you not sale your stuff. As great as yours look I would sale everything. Can’t wait till I get as good as you. I keep watching and practicing my technique and you have taught me so much.
😊
Sweet little bowl one of your better looking pieces in my opinion.
Your opinion counts, Lewis, thanks!
Love your work Mr. Anderson
It is a beautiful bowl turned by you. Real nice.
WoOoW.. That was amazing
😊
BEAUTIFUL. The character of the wood really came through. SAFE TURNING, John
Thank you so much, John, I appreciate you taking your time to watch and comment! Safe turning to you, as well!
Phil
Excellent job Phil. Love the look of the finished project.
Thank you very much, Jim, much appreciated!
Just fantastic Phil, beautiful cherry vessel, just great
Wow, thank you so much, Ron!
Phil
That's nice! I like how the bark looks!
Thank you, Steve, for taking your time to watch and comment!
Hi Phil, I just discovered your channel and its very inspirational. Your way of communicating to the observer is very down to earth. I feel like I'm in the shop with you . Keep up the great work and thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with others!
😊
Fantastic job Phil what can I say just beautiful !
So glad you like it, Jim, thank you!
U got the touch!!!
Another absolutely stunning bowl!
😊
Good job Phil. That is a purdy bowl.
Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, Patrick!
Looking at some of your less recent videos. Always a pleasure. I get quite a bit of inspiration to turn things and expand my thinking about different pieces of wood. Thank you!
Chuck
Great to hear! Thank you, Chuck! 😊
Just beautiful. The live edge really adds to the piece.
Thank you very much, Scott!
Well done , very nice piece
I'm glad you took the time to watch and comment, Roger, thank you!
Great work. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much, Dave!
Phil
Thumbs up , looks great
Thank you so much, Ronnie!
Beautiful piece Phil
Thank you again, Roger, for watching and commenting!
Phil
A really nice piece.... baie mooi.
Thank you so much, Barry! 😊
Enjoyed!!!!!! Turned out very nice!!!
I'm truly glad, Russell, thank you!
Very cool job my friend 👍🏼
Thank you, Tomas, I appreciated you continuing to watch and comment!
Very cool. I need to get courage to try a three winged one.
You can do it, Jim. Just remember, light touch, you will be successful! 😊
Master of difficult jobs.... bravo
Thank you so much AR Khan!
Phil
very nice I've never did one of these, crotch or live edge I must give it a try they are beautiful one of Gods great gifts... Thanks for the video
Oh, yes, you definitely need to try at least a live edge bowl, Larry. I've found it very difficult to turn a perfectly round, say, salad bowl or something, after having turned a number of these. They are just so much more challenging and rewarding.
Phil
More great work. Looks like a perfect vessel for holding a big candle.
It does! Thanks, Guy!
My thought when I first started was, what could you possibly do with that little piece of wood !!!..I am pleasantly surprised. You have given new life and something to be proud of. ...Thank You Phil...I look forward to you changing my eye/mind. I like different. Successful or not you show it as it is and bring your project to completion.....great!!!...Seriously Phil my interest in all your videos is that you do not approach us as an authoritarian teacher but as an equal just having fun & trying to figure out your course of action as you go...wonderful, refreshing !!!...(more please)....tm
Thank YOU, Tuffy! Ya know, I am still learning. I would never assume I know more than my viewers. I might have a tip now and then, but I really think most people already know that, too. This was a fun piece!
Your videos are brilliant! They are teaching me that you can pretty much turn anything!!
Pretty much, Mikenco! Once you turn a few odd ones, that's what you start looking for. So much more rewarding, in my opinion. Thank you so much!
Phil
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I recently bought an entire Ash tree (cheap), and I have so many odd, bobbly bits of wood drying, that after subscribing to your channel, I may well pull many pieces from the 'firewood' pile and see what I can produce from them! Best regards, from me in the South East corner of England (right near France).
Wow, that's a lot of Ash! I think Ash has some great grain to it. Yes, rescue that firewood! Could be some of the best pieces! LOL! Enjoy!
nice work hero
Complimenti! Ottima idea!
Thank you, Stefano!
Really nice Phil👍👍👍
Wow, thank you, Mark, truly appreciated!
Oops, in my previous suggestion of small blades, I mentioned #10. It's been a while since I used these blades in modeling, and I forgot that the correct number for the general-use blade, both Xacto and scalpel, is #11. Look for those.
😊
Gorgeous! 'Nuff said...
Thank you so much, Don!
It looks like gold.
Pretty!
😊
Love this and now I'm eyeing the Y-shaped chunk I have on my bottom shelf. Hmmm...
It will be a rewarding turn, Michael. Get to it! 😊
Nice job Phil that is just a very cool looking shape. You may have just given me an idea of what to do with the strange looking piece I have been saving for my new lathe. Before I turn it I plan on uploading an image of it for ideas. I might even put it up for bid....haha.
You have wonderful vision and do excellent work.
Gary
Thank you so much, Gary! Asking for ideas is a good idea, but don't get rid of that piece! Your new lathe awaits! I see you have a new video posted. I will be heading over to watch as soon as I finish responding to comments. Can't wait!
Howdy again my friend you never let me down love it !
Thank you so much, Joe! I'm trying, I'm trying.
PHIL, GREAT JOB, GREAT VIDEO, { 6/1/21 } I'M ABOUT TO CATCH UP ON ALL YOUR VIDEOS...
Can't have many left, Catfish!
Beautiful
😊
Very nice piece.
Thank you, Woodden!
Nice job Phil, looks like one of those posh smelly candle holders
Thank you, Mart! Yeah, it would probably work for that!
Hi Phil,
Outstanding piece and finish!!!
I love this type of turning cuz to me it's an artistic piece!
You've come a long way in a short time!!!
I've been turning for about 1-1/2 years and still have a lot of problems!
Thanks for the video!!!
Tom
Thank you, Tom! Oh, believe me, I still have a lot of problems, too! Hahaha... That's what keeps it interesting, learning to overcome those problems. I'm still learning, but have learned a lot, too, from watching so many videos. I'll just keep plugging away! Thanks again, Tom, for taking your time to watch and comment!
Very smart!
😊
Nice job Phil. See, Bevel support works! Stay safe.
Thank you for watching and commenting, Paul, I can use all the help I can get!
To be honest Phil, I can see nothing wrong with your technique. Your choice of tools sometimes is little off the wall, but different strokes for different folks! Whatever works is the way I get through, but it doesn't always work for all of us. You have a good arsenal of tools as I have seen on other videos of yours. Don't overthink things, turning is an art and as such most creations come from the heart, while using your gut for instinct, just go with it, don't be constrained to what you think you should use for tools. Above all, HAVE FUN! Stay safe
Sweet looking bowl Phil, nice to see a different route to the finished piece. Most turners I’ve watched seem to slice the crotch down the centre to get two blanks, I like seeing the bark left intact on yours. Nice work 👍🏻.
All the best
Geof (UK)
That was the idea, Geof. I wanted as much bark on this one as I could get. Besides, it is kinda small. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Hey Phil, wow another amazing piece. Your very talented, artistic and have a wonderful eye for design, I really love the shape you came up with for this one, it’s so stunning with the contrast of the light coloured wood grain and then the darker bark it was really something unique. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. 📐💜📐
Another oldie, Cathy. Wow, thank you so much for watching and for your great comments!
Phil
Very nice.
Thank you, Stan! Cheers!
I like that one nice work fro James in Scotland uk
I'm so glad you like it, James from Scotland! You are the namesake of one of my favorite actors, too! Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment!
Phil
Very nice work! Thanks for sharing process. A big fan of yours. :-)
I appreciate that maybe more than you know, Monte. Thank you!
Phil
love that 3 prong bowl
If you love this 3 prong bowl, just wait for tomorrow's video, Keith!
Phil
Yeh!. I new you would make another beautiful peice of wood art. It could be a cherry bowl or evan a car or house key holding bowl. But whatever you use it as i wish i had one of them. Well done again phil & also thanks for another well relaxing entertaining informative video. You may not think your the master... But to me your as good as any other turner, if not better as you also produce some realy good videos at the same time as you do your briliant turning, while also giving lots & lots of good information. Well done buddy keep up your good work We love it.👍 Jim in the UK.
So far it's a dust collector, Jim! But, yeah, it would work well as a place to throw your change and keys.
Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments. You are a day brightener for me!
Phil
I enjoy watching and listening to you , I recently bought a lathe and my friend you are an inspiration, I've turned a few live edge bowls , tell me how to send photos your way.
Thank you, Ronnie! Congrats on the lathe! Post them on my Facebook page: facebook.com/Phils-Woodshop-1470648929819551
You were worried throughout how it would look. I like it a lot. Very unique with the bark sides.
Sometimes I just can't tell until I get if off the lathe, Bob. I'm so glad you like it, thank you!
Phil
Fabulous piece of turning. I notice often in your videos you say to go and sharpen up. Would like to see how you do it. When I was turning in my younger days here in Bedfordshire England it was always hit and miss with sharpening. Great videos. Thanks Rod
Thank you very much, Rod! I showed my sharpening setup in action in this video:
czcams.com/video/PUGFEgJTogA/video.html
Phil another fantastic looking one of a kind piece you are a true inspiration and am just loving looking through all of your videos I have subscribed to several other wood turners who all do great stuff but you just seem to make things clear and real. I am wheelchair bound and I kind of have to make things up on the fly because I cant just turn and swing or twist like other turners tell you how to but your attitude is awesome lets just put some wood in the lathe and see how it turns out ......
Thank you very much, Steven! Such a nice comment!
Have you made modifications to your lathe or bench to accommodate your chair? I used to belong to a group that had a member in a wheelchair and I think he had his lathe on a short stand and then, set at a bit of a backward angle. I just wish I could remember what help the angle offered but I remember he was quite pleased with himself when he figured it out.
Phil
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Yes I have my lathe cut down very low I have been thinking about angling it backwards to make getting a nice sweep on the curve of a bowl easier at the moment I am using a short handled gouge but its hard to get a curve in just one movement without having to re position my chair but i will figure it all out eventually i'm from the UK but I will post you a picture of my set up tomorrow but once again thank you for imparting your knowledge in such candid way
Iy has an arrow in the bottom you can use for directions. It's beautiful
😊
Howdy Phil....That shined up real nice .The young part of the cherry tree does look so nice . Easier to work with the bark too . I use to have a little problem with the bark " shedding " . I ended up cutting the bark back to where I wanted to about finish or close to it so now there was no bark to " shed " I use an exacto knife or my Dremel tool never had a problem again .
That piece of steel wool shredded up pretty quick didn't it . I have a drill that goes about a thousand RPM and use a buffing wheel on it . you remember my " prehistoric cookie " ? many wings, used vibrator sander with a rough buffing pad and then fine buffing pad on my high speed drill . work like a charm .
That finish with the shellac is beautiful on slightly tinted wood . I used to use orange shellac on pine . Not sure if they even sell it anymore, that shines up nicely too .
When you get the perfect shine for the type of wood you use makes it looks so much nicer . keep it up Phil
I do really like the shellac finish, Bruce. It's pretty forgiving, easy to apply and dries quickly. Your process with the buffing sounds like it would help quite a bit, too. I did buy some 2" buffing pads but haven't really had a lot of luck with them. I don't know if it's me or maybe the quality, but I'll keep trying. Thank you for your great comment!
I really like that Phil and you gotta love fruit tree wood. If you get a crotch as well, that’s the icing on the cake!
Thank you, Tim! Yes, I wish I could get my hands on more, but I do still have a couple small pieces.
Advanced wood turning
It may be, a little, Renee, but once the wood is spinning, it's just wood. You still just hold the chisel the same way. I think, in this case, it's the shape of the wood to start with, before any cuts are made, that allowed it to become what it did.
Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, Renee, much appreciated!
Phil
Nice.
Thank you, Werner!
Phil
Subscribed! Nice job Phil. You should consider also dating your pieces for posterity.
Thank you so much, CB! I prefer to date my pieces and used to do it all the time. Then I read several people say when they sell something, if it has an older date on it people assume there is something wrong with it and don't buy. I have never sold any of my pieces, but for when I do, I thought I better stop dating them. But, yes, I agree, dating is best. Thank you very much for watching, commenting and subscribing!
Phil
very nice
Thank you, Don, I'm glad you like it!
So pretty! I love the live edge pieces ❤
Thank you, Ruth! Cheers!
Very cool piece Phil! The inside is perfect with that nice smooth curve. And when you turn it upside down there is something awesome about it. I'm not sure if it's the foot with that outer rim or if it's how the wings really feel like logs going in together. Either way it is definitely a very nice piece of art.
I know what you're saying about wall thickness. I think people worry too much about getting it really thin. I don't see why. I find certain woods have a bark you don't want to make it too thin or you miss all the texture. I think it's more important to have a good shape and fairly even wall thickness (besides towards the bottom where it transitions to the foot.) That's what makes it look like someone worked at perfecting it. This bowl is a great example. And a funny thing is a normal bowl without the natural edge I don't think is about even wall thickness, it's about getting a good balance to make the feel good in the hands and that doesn't happen with even wall thickness. Go figure!
Also thanks for elaborating on the finishing technique. I'm always experimenting with finishes and it helps to hear others ideas and theories.
Thanks for sharing and happy turning to you Phil!
Kyler
Sorry if my comments get lengthy, your videos get me thinkin'! Lol
Thank you, Kyler! From the beginning of my turning, I felt the same way about wall thickness with a live edge. I just hate to turn all the bark away. Plus, I like a piece with a little weight to it. It helps add a quality feel to it, in my opinion.
That said, sometimes when you have just a plain piece with not much grain or color, making it really thin can add something that isn't there. Then, it's fun to watch people pick it up and ask "why is this so light?" Ha!
I really wish I could find the "perfect" finish. It can be fun to experiment but it can also be frustrating. But, if it was easy it probably wouldn't be fun!
I'm travelling right now and don't have a lot of time, but i imagine you have posted a new video. I will watch as soon as I can. Always like me some Woodturner Ky!
Hey, how 'bout that Gary? First real turning video. I'm so proud of him!
madronawoodworks I completely agree with you on both points of thickness! If it has some weight it feels like it has something to it and feels like it holds more value. But at the same time ultra thin can also add value and watching people react as they pick it up is always fun! Lol
I saw Gary's video and he really is making progress in video making and I was really happy to see that! I think he's really enjoying it and that's important too. I'm glad to have made made friends with the both of you, we seem to be very like minded in many ways.
Please enjoy your travels Phil! Have a safe journey and we will see you when you get back. Take care!
Kyler
Hahaha... I always enjoy your comments, Kyler. You make your points very clear!
Very unique piece Phil.
It's a shame of such that has gone in my woodstove in the last 46 years.
Yup, I'm sure we've all burned way more than we should have when we didn't know any better, Clint! 😊
You should set up a site to sell these...I'd love this one!
Maybe one day! 😊
Another amazing piece Phil! What do you do with all the pieces you make? Can I ask why you don't use carbide tools? I only have carbide so far because I have no way to sharpen regular gouges. Maybe someday you could show us all your tools and how you store them! Have a great day and happy turning!
Thank you, Hotrod! So far I just collect my turnings and yes, it's getting crowded around here! I'd like to be able to sell some of my work but I just don't have time for packing and shipping.
I have some carbide tools and will use them when nothing else will work but definitely prefer high speed steel. I think I can feel the wood better and have better control rather than just steering carbide all over the place. That's just me, though, I know others use carbide successfully all the time. I do show my tools in storage and being sharpened in this video:
czcams.com/video/PUGFEgJTogA/video.html
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Well thanks for that, I'll watch it right now! I see it's a nice cozy shop. Mine is a bit smaller and a bit more cluttered lol. My stuff is all on casters because I have to wheel things around so I can get to them.
Beautiful product Phil. Thumbs up 👍👍👍😊
Thank you for that, Muhammad!
