- My first time turning driftwood and if they are all like this, I'm hooked! LOL! I suppose in reality they are not so I think I got lucky with this beautiful piece. I don't know the type of wood but it may be Myrtle wood from Oregon.
Finished in shellac.

I’m from Oregon, now in Arizona. I make fine furniture and have used lots of that gorgeous wood. It’s Myrtle wood, only found in a very few places in the world. So yes, it’s rare. Great job turning that gnarly chunk of wood.
And to think it had just floated it's way to the beach, David! 😊
Oh, yay!! I’m glad someone could confirm the wood species !

Dave can you recommend a wood lathe?
Love this piece! After my parents retired they booked a trip to California, Washington, Oregon and my Dad brought me a covered desk top box made of Myrtle wood back on the plane. My mom said he held in his lap all the way! That was probably 35 years ago. I cherish that piece dearly. Oh dear. I am tearing up again. 😢
Great memories, Doreen! 😂
Beautiful myrtle drift wood. The fine grain, color and location all match your suspicions. Those waves will give pleasure to all who view your work. 🌳
Many thanks! 😊
I love how so many of the wood grains look like seashells! Like nature copying nature but in a different form. Then you work your magic and expose it for all of us to enjoy.
Yes! And the waves! Cool piece for sure. Thanks, Leona! 😄
You know, Phil, this piece of driftwood sort of represents us in a way. No matter what we look like on the outside....... Each person has a hidden beauty within..... Don't you think?
In some it could be intelligence, in another person it could be compassion, another would have insight, and still another might have inner strength... Or joy..... Everyone's got something.
This little piece of Driftwood of yours could teach us all a lesson. Look at all the beating it's taken as it's washed through the ocean and hammered on the sands of the beach (as we go through life people become that way). And then somebody like you took the time and trouble to find its inner beauty, and then shine it up!
It seems to me that we can and should do that with each other.
That is pretty much how I think of the wood I like to turn, too, John. Thanks for your thoughtful comment! 😊
You are so right in your observation. Now who would have thought that wood-turning could lead to this?
By far the best place to spend my relaxing time. While I do enjoy the more "polished" pieces that most people do, and respect their artistry, your style is my absolute favorite. Hearing you talk about the wood is so interesting. I also really like your calm voice and no "cover music". Thank you so much for sharing your talent and love of your craft.
Wow, such a great comment, Julie! You made me smile. 😊 Thank you, I needed that!
Here l am again,My son loves wood too,he made a grandfather clock out of barn wood,it’s beautiful, he has huge tree cuts for large tables,made one for his daughter,he will sell the other table tops, Love your work
That is awesome to have such a craftsman in the family, Anna! Thank you! 😊
The journey that peice of wood took to end up in your hands is pretty neat to think about. Astronomical odds. Yet here we are. Love it
I like to think of it that way too, Patrick! 😊
When I get to see pieces like this it reinforces to me how fortunate I am that people like you exist Phil so that I can sort of forget my disabilities & all the associated pain & relax while my friend Phil sets himself to explore & release the beauty of nature specifically in wood. You are a master my friend at working with, not against nature. With your wonderful way in commentating 'on the run' shows just how much you immerse yourself in carefully exposing the beauty just waiting to be release in your masterful way. Totally relaxing & wonderful craftsmanship on show for "all to enjoy'. What a joy you really are to the world of wood turning my friend. A truly magnificent piece of artistic wood turning in any way you look at it. I 'give up' on trying to say your 'best piece of work' because you keep on producing them. Keep it up my friend. Don from South Aust.
Wow, thank you, Don! I guess I was just amazed at the beauty inside a piece of driftwood. Had no idea what to expect so this turned out to be a real treat for me. Thank you, my friend! 😊
Well isn’t that amazing in that I discovered Phil just a few days ago and I’ve got to say not only the beauty of the pieces but also his voice really help me take my mind off my disabilities also
How is it that I found him just a week ago, and am disabled with chronic pain also and find Phil to be completely relaxing and mesmerizing. Watching him uncover what nature has hidden with his hands and a few tools, it is amazing to me. Phil, I loved this piece. And you are right in that those edges do look like the waves that made it into drift wood. Cracks, burrs, holes and all, it is absolutely perfect. God bless.
Every time I start my lathe, I hear your voice "mask and face shield on!". Yesterday, the little Walnut bowl I was working on exploded, and I'm so glad I had my face shield on! I was almost finished with it....so just a reminder to all you turners out there....obey the Man. It may save your face. I was able to wood glue the bowl back together and finish it. Sometimes it's a practice piece, but you learn so much. Thank you for your wisdom! And nice bowl!! What a challenge,!
Oh wow! I'm so glad you were protected, Jennifer. The thought just makes me shiver. Thank you, I'm glad you like this piece!
This is among the talents
With what's going on in the world today watching beautiful piece of wood be turned added some lot needed calm and positivity to my day. Thanks!
I hear you, Jari. Thank you! 😊
It's beautiful..I have a peice of wood with lots of gnarled spots and wild grain patterns..I sanded it and varnished and it never fails to make me smile.
Wonderful! 😊
There is so much to appreciate in this piece Phil. It is amazing all the different textures and grains.
I agree, one of the most visually appealing pieces I have done. Thank you! 😊
Wow, what a Beautiful Piece of Driftwood. This bowl is absolutely stunning. It has so much character. Like you mentioned, the one part looks like waves on a beach. Your work turning this wood is such Artistry. What a gift you have. Looking at a piece of wood and making a Gem of beauty. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching, Marlene and for taking your time to comment! 😊
Driftwood and burls are always interesting and one of a kind.
Very nice !
😊
True craftsman.Thank You Jake Bissel.
I appreciate that, Jake, thank you!
Driftwood is the best name for this piece. Just imagine the voyage it has had.
That's part of the fun isn't it, Muadibe. The story behind the piece. 😊
Once again, Phil, you've taken a chunk of wood and made a thing of beauty.
Thank you, Monte! 😊
Phil, you are so right, that's an exciting piece of drift wood. Can't wait to see what you create! 🇺🇲🐚
Thanks, Jessi, I hope you like it! 😊
The only thing I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That works for me, Jack! 😊
It's amazing how much beauty there is, hiding deep down in that gnarly piece of wood. Thank you for using your skills so well to let us all enjoy it!
That's my favorite part of turning, Dan. Finding what's inside some of these pieces. I sure didn't expect to find what I did in this old piece of driftwood! 😊
Phil Anderson and his amazing sand-o-flex! I have to say that you’re one of my CZcams woodworking idols . You always seem to know where and how to mount these natural pieces to bring out the best in them. This piece is simply amazing, thank you!
I think that the Sand-o-flex is going to be the next tool that I’m going to invest in. Your the only turner that I’ve seen use it on CZcams, but you can’t argue with results.
Wow, thanks, John! 😊
I often say, if I didn't have a Sand O Flex I would not turn the pieces I do. I don't know any other way to sand the oddities I encounter in the wood I turn.
I could watch this all day, ThankYou
Wow, thank YOU, Anna! 😊
Phil you are too modest. The beauty in all your pieces are your work.This one is certainly at the top end.Beautiful.Terry downunder.
This was such a surprise, Terry and I love it. I'm glad you like it too, thank you! 😃
I live on the Oregon coast and after storms a lot of driftwood comes in and think of all the beauty! Thank you so very much!
Wonderful, Judy! I've traveled along that coast a few times but never even thought about driftwood. I'll bet you have a huge assortment to choose from. 😊
I to live on the Oregon coast. Sunset beach is just 9.2 miles away. This video has given me some good ideas what i can do with the driftwood I come across.
It really is a masterpiece Phil. You’ve enhanced what nature provided 😊
There you go, thank you, Rosie! 😊
Giving new life to a discarded piece. Well done
Thank you, Janet! 😊
It's absolutely gorgeous - and while I'd love to put it on my table and admire it while deciding what best to put in it... I know one of my cats would climb in
Haha, mine too, Michelle! 😊
I’m amazed at those of you who see the possibilities in a piece of wood that would otherwise be ignored.
Thank you for watching and commenting, Toni! 😊
Or on the bon fire for a brief bit of glory.
That piece of driftwood challenged you every inch of the way! Thank you for patiently and gently coaxing out its beauty. A beautiful piece!
My pleasure, Ingrid! Thank you for watching and commenting! 😊
Very nice ! Clear vision.
Thank you, Craig! 😊 Cheers!
Looks like an angel wing.
Yeah, it kinda does, Sarah! 😊
You always know when Phil brings out the Sandoflex, we will be treated to a special treat! You didn’t let us down. Beautiful!
Haha, thank you, Carol! 😊
You and Mother nature working in harmony Phil. As always it's beautiful, but what hard work for you. Thank you for the videos.
So nice of you, Brenda, thank you very much! 😊
This is just another piece you have enhanced. Beautiful as always.
Thank you very much, Sandra! 😊
I know i say this often but i think this one is my favorite. Than you phil.
It's one of mine too, Brent! 😊
"Seeing" the waves and preserving them was so great Phil. Beautiful piece!
Many thanks, Tom! 😊
Phil this piece is beautiful. I love the nature and how you manage to save it.
Many thanks, Jean! 😊
So Nice to see such BEAUTIFUL art come out of wood!
This wood just couldn't help it, Patricia! 😊
Great work, Phil, you and God!
Thank you kindly, Charles! 😀
Dang it Phil, I've been living on the Ocean for twenty years and I would have walked by that piece.
You have the skill to see things I don't. Take credit!
Haha! Well, I didn't find it but if Dennis brings it to me, I'm gonna try my best. And, that is the key, I think. Just mount it and see what happens. You can do it! 😊
Hi Phil
I just wanted to say thank you to you for all the effort you put in to making your videos that we all watch for free.
You have given me confidence to turn difficult pieces of would and the results are very satisfying.
Keep up the good work
Michael 🇬🇧👏🏻
Wow, thanks, Malvern, I'm glad you are trying new things! 😊
Wow Phil. Absolutely stunning. Thanks
Very welcome, thank you for watching! 😊
The waves are fantastic I feel like I'm at the ⛱️❤
Yes, they are a big highlight for this piece, Libby! 😊
You are absolutely a wizard. Lovely work.
Thank you so much, Christo!💫
Have some driftwood and have had a problem with knowledge of turning it. Also have been a little hesitant due to not wanting to mess it up. Well Phil, this has given me both knowledge and confidence on preparing the piece and myself to turn. Thanks Phil. You help people n different ways and you don’t even know it. Keep up the great work and info you generously provide.
Glad I could help! I appreciate your kind comment, thank you! 😊
Amazing piece. I love collecting driftwood and it can make such beautiful art.
Thank you! 😊 Cheers!
YOU'D BE VERY SURPRISED AT WHAT THE LATHE CAN DO TURNING OUT SOME GREAT WOODWORK PIECES AND THEY SELL VERY WELL
Well, not sure why I would be surprised, Linda? Anyway, thank you for watching! 😊
Wow…just wow…! Absolutely gorgeous! My favorite piece of yours, so far.👌
I like it too, Cynthia! It was such a pleasant surprise! 😊
Yep, definitely a beautiful piece. I was thankful you didn't get hurt making that. At times it looked scary. You are a very brave and talented artist, that is for sure. Thanks for another great video Phil.
Thank you so much, Kevin! 😊
It is so BEAUTIFUL. I love the way you explain what you are doing. Thank you
You are so welcome, Tammy, I'm glad you've found it helpful. Thank you for watching! 😊
You are so talented with wood, please keep sharing you wood working
Thank you, Teresa, I will! 😊
Is there any chunk of wood anywhere that you can’t turn into a masterpiece? Wow, dude!!
LOL! Yes, Betty, there have been a few. What a nice comment, thank you! 😊
I think I may you figured out, Mr Phil! I have come to believe that you truly enjoy the challenge of turning the unusual pieces that everybody else doesn’t see the potential of! Couple that with your obvious talent to “think outside the box” , so to speak, is a winning combo. That piece would be a magnificent addition in the entryway of someone’s home to collect keys and other miscellany! Well done!
You are right, Charles! I can barely bring myself to turn a plain, round bowl, anymore. Thank you, I'm glad you like it! 😊
You know, every time I watch one of these I think exactly that.
As my turning mentor said: “never chuck a piece of wood you aren’t prepared to eat”. I recall turning a huge piece of Pine; turned to change tools; heard the funniest sound from the lathe; as I turned back, all I saw was this HUGE piece make the prettiest arc you could imagine. Would have bisected my nose and front teeth if I hadn’t gone for a gouge switch.
Ah, yes, the old turning mentor bad information thing. What he should have said was never stand in the line of fire. Also, if you are not turning, turn the lathe off. I'm so glad you weren't hurt, Samuel!
Mesmerizing!!! Beautifully turned.
Thank you so much! 😊
You really are my favorite woodworking channel. The way you keep nature in every piece is phenomenal but it’s your disposition and calm, soothing voice that keeps me coming back every night.
Thanks Phil!
Wow, thank you, Debbie! It's so good to have you here! 😊
Thank you for some sweet memories! My late father took up woodworking when he retired, and built some fine furniture. I loved watching him use his lathe to turn legs for furniture. I started laughing when you attached the plate with only two screws. Dad was always adjusting and making do in a pinch, and consequently, he always had a bandaid or two on his fingers. Thank you again, and for Pete’s sake, be careful😉
Oh, some great memories you have! My dad was the same way, bandaids and all. 😊 Thank you so much for your great comment!
I like the way you explain what you are doing and also the tools.
😊
You have the gift.
Thank you for teaching.
So nice, Laurie, thank you for watching! 😄
You never disappoint. Your vision is just outstanding. I turn but I don’t have the vision to take a crappy piece of driftwood to the masterpiece you created. Awesome!!!
Thank you so much, Wile, I'm glad you like it! 😊
You did it again, Phil.
"Sun of the Beach" wood.
LOL! Good one, James! 😊
Another absolutely beautiful piece of turning
Thank you so much, Robert! 😄
Just seeing this video for the first time, Phil. I think this is my favorite of your turns.
It was such a pleasant surprise, Danella! 😊
OMG, Phil, that is an amazing piece! There just aren’t words that will adequately describe how beautiful that is. Thank you so much for sharing your work on this piece. Way to go, buddy! Just too pretty for words! 👏👏👏👏
Wow, thank you, Gord! It was quite a surprise to me. The wood was so rough and gray and then we got this! Just never know about driftwood, I guess. I'd like to try more but I'm afraid of being disappointed. They can't all be like this, can they? LOL!
I see you have a new video, hooray! I will check it out, soon!
A beautiful transformation from a discarded, lost, washed-up piece of wood through an artisan’s hands.
Saved from destruction.
Metaphor for our souls and salvation through Jesus Christ.
😊
I don't have words. You are very inspiring.
😀 thank you!
But all the inclusions give it character and nuance that allow you to bring it to life! You do it so well and I love how you take your time to think it out. ♥️🇺🇲
One of my favorites, Jessi! 😊
Hi Phil,
This piece is really, really beautiful!
as a woodturner myself I know exactly what it takes to create a piece like this and you did a masterful job!
Thanks for the video,,,

Thank you so much, Tom, I appreciate your comment! 😊

Thanks, Grammy! 😊
Are you stalking me? 👵🏼 😂 I’ve seen this same comment on quite a few of my subscribed channels, and not all are turning videos. 🤔🤔
What a dramatic center piece this is going to be. ♥️🇺🇲
😊
Another Super piece. Thanks for the video. 🥰
You are so welcome, Connie, thank you for watching!! 😊
Oh my Phil that is a masterpiece and I think your best ever! Well done and thanks for another great video!
Cheers Al
Glad you enjoyed it, Al, thank you! 😊
Very, very nice, Phil! It does remind me of myrtle wood, now that you mention it. What a find that was! And what a beauty you revealed! Well turned.
Thank you so much, Dave! I really do think it is Myrtle wood and you're right, what a find! 😊
What a beautiful bowl for red delicious apples!
😊
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
What a creative eye, just wonderful!
Thank you, Ron! 😊 Cheers!
Exactly what it needed to be .. nice one 👍
Thanks for watching, Andy, I'm glad you like it! 😊

Found you here!
I totally agree with Andy..Thats exactly what nature intended that bowl to be!
Beautiful work, absolutely love it.
Great transformation Phil....you managed to bring out the inner beauty while preserving the outer natural brutality of nature.....if it's from the Oregon coast....I say "Myrtlewood". Best wishes for Easter.
Yes, that was my guess too. It’s the right color.
I just don't know if Dennis got it from the coast or some river, Doc. But, I do kinda think it's Myrtlewood and that is cool all by itself! Thank you! 😊
Found it at Gold Beach, OR, on the beach.
All those lovely nooks and crannies will collect the dust superbly!😊
.
No doubt, Nik! That's why I have three air compressors. Quick and easy cleaning! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop
So if it's sitting on your living room sideboard......😊
THREE air compressors?
Greedy bugger!😊
I have just one, new one. My previous three got cremated with ALL my other tools recently.😒#.
Spectacular! Love the finished bowl.
Thank you so much, M M! 😊
It is Drift wood! Great turning.
Haha, when you're right, you're right, Billy! 😊
🙋♂️🏴 Hi Phil I don't know how you manage to create such beautiful pieces out of, well just ordinary wood. You see beauty inside a plain piece of wood. Thanks for your weekly tour of your skills. See you next time.
Oh, thank you, John! 😊
Wow Phil outstanding very very beautiful I love driftwood and natural wood like that you could never duplicate something like that even if you tried take care and God bless
Wow, thank you, Mike! 😊
My favorite piece ever. ❤️

Always! Thanks for your subscription, Jinksy, I'll try to be worthy. 😊
Hahaha you don't even have to try
In from West Wales UK. Regular watcher of your videos. I love your enthusiasm for the natural form of the wood . Thank you😊
Good to know, thank you so much! 😊
A beautiful chunk of Myrtlewood. I asked Dale Nish of Utah if he could only turn one kind of wood the rest of his life what would it be. Of course he said Myrtlewood. I've turned some bowls and it is an awesome wood. Great job Phil.
Thanks, Kent! 😊
One of my favorites BEAUTIFUL 😍
Same here! It's a beauty! 😊
So beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome, Todd, thank you for watching!
Beautiful piece Phil, and you right I always give mother nature the credit for the beauty. Very Very nice my friend!
Well said, Torrey! 😊
My aunt had a popular hobby back in the 50's, driftwood lamps, I loved them, no one else in the family did. Your art is much more appreciated
I'll bet she had fun with her hobby, too! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Indeed she did🕊
That reminds me of sea-cliffs and sea-shells. Wonderful!
Perfect, Martin, goes right along with where it came from! 😊
That is so very very beautiful. God gives us such beauty.❤️💞🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌞🌳🌲🌴
True enough, Deborah! 😊
Fantastic piece. What a nice adventure. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it, Jude, thank you! 😊
Looks like myrtlewood. Love the waves.
