Disappointing 👀 Outcome! - Wood Turning

- I've turned lots of Alder from this property and it wasn't anything like this. Mine must be slow growing due to all the shade from the Fir trees. I think this piece is young and fast growing. Could not get a decent shellac finish!

You know what, Phil? This piece might not have finished as you wished, but the sanding and the smoothness you’re able to obtain is fantastic. That bowl has other points of beauty!
Thank you, Danella! 😊
I don’t know why you’re disappointed, it looks good. It’s a nice color and the finish looks shiny! Thanks Phil!
😊
Your advice for woodworking can be applied to life in general. Take little bites, enjoy the process! Thanks for the video again!
There ya go, Kristi! 😊
Love it! Live edge is live edge, you can't make it up, it is what it is. I would be proud to have turned that.
😊
The process, technique and commentary are my primary reasons for following your work, Phil. A beautiful finished piece of art is the gravy when things work out. Still a nice bowl in my opinion.
Thank you, Hubert! 😊
You are harder on yourself than anyone else! Not every baseball player makes the hall of fame and not every bowl will either. Doesn’t mean either one doesn’t have value or an important job to do. This is a very nice bowl that could hold a ball of yarn and crochet hook for a project…maybe a warm beanie to keep your head warm until spring finally gets here. 😉 I like it as do many others who watched this video. 👌 And if you don’t, there’s always another chunk of wood waiting to be turned that will be spectacular! In the meantime, I know there’s many of us that would be happy to take this bowl off your hands and put it in a place of honor in our homes! 💕😊👍💕
Thank you, BobbieJean! It's mostly the finish, I just couldn't get it right on this piece. 😊
I respectfully disagree, I think the finish is just about right. @@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop
Sometimes a missing piece of bark adds to the beauty of your piece as this does.
😊
The maker is always more critical than the average viewer.
Justifiably. 😊
A very nice bowl, Phil. I could live with it!
Thank you kindly 😊
Don’t be disappointed. It may be a little plain, but it is still beautiful and one to be proud of. Barbara
Thank you, Barbara! 😊
I like the 'simplicity' of the figure and color. The 'soft' look of the finish complements the figure/color. Very nice bowl, Phil.
Thank you, Louis! 😊
Hi Phil, Dan here. I'm recovering from shoulder replacement surgery, watching an artist like you is like a pleasant tonic. Love this piece, feel like you let the wood have an expression. When I get back to turning, I think I'll invest in a sand o flex. Think one would come in handy. Don't stop being you, love this channel. Thanks.
Thank you, Dan! Speedy healing! 😊
Same here reverse socket it’s not going well for me it has just dislocated three times My surgeons has a different idea I have upcoming meeting with him Wish you well
Hope your healing plan works...Dan
An artist like yourself is hard to please himself,perfection is what your looking for. Some pieces your never satisfied with but everyone else loves it. So you have pleased many, many people. I watch a lot of your videos and absolutely love your work. You are truly a wood artist. There are different types or wood working artist ,ofcourse your not carving dragons out of a log or carving animals in a tree trunk , your the type of wood artistry we all can appreciate because we can learn by watching and your work is something we all can have . To me you are the ground 18:58 country living came from. You still do the work our ancestors did maybe a bit faster and cleaner. I remember my Granny making biscuit in a wood bowl her father made for her mom. Along with wooden spoons. She also had smaller bowls he made. He did this after the farm work was done and they sat around the candle light before bed. You just bring back so much history ,and making history for our future generations. Thank you so much.
I've watched videos where they put colored stuff in cracks and holes it's pretty but I rather have wood in its natural form ,like you. Thanks again for your work ,keep on as long as you can and I'll be watching.
@@patriciaglove8201 I so much appreciate your comment, Patricia! I feel like I was there in the candle light! Thank you, you get me!😀
Phil, besides your wonderful turnings I totally admire you because you take the time to respond to your each and every comment! Do you realize how GREAT that is!! Not many have the integrity that you have! They get a following to enhance their cause then they no longer take the time to respond!
So you are truly appreciated in more ways than one!!
Such a great comment, Colleen. Thank you for your kindness! 😊
I actually like the look of the 'ghost' edge, what's left behind after the bark falls off.
😊
I absolutely love the grain, bark and areas without bark. The bowl has a naturally distressed look with some bark missing.
😊
I think it's special. I kind of like how it looks without all the bark.
😊
What's not to like, simple but nice anyway. I like the missing bark.
Thanks, Doc! 😊
The grain reminds me of turning Ash. Nice grain patterns in both species. I like what you did with the piece. keep on keeping on.
Thanks, Chris! 😊
Watching you turn is like taking a relax scenic drive that's for sure. 🤗
Haha, enjoy the view! 😊
I think the missing bark makes it very unique. It's such a beautiful piece. ❤
😊
I think the bowl is quite lovely...I like how simple it is.
😊
It’s a nice useful bowl, not everything can be your idea of perfection in art, but useful has its place.
😊
I love that you said it is sad when people burn it! I go through my neighbors firewood piles taking anything turnable haha
😊
Sometimes the wood just doesn't cooperate. I have half a dozen pieces that just didn't work out lying around on my garage floor waiting to be used as campfire wood this summer. Anywho happy turning my friend ☺️
Thanks, Edward! 😊
Your thoughts on the bark are spot on. That is some great looking wood. And while the bowl may not be anything special, I'd say it's a humble little bowl with lots of beauty. Well done, Phil
Thanks, Steve! 😊
Your comment early on about taking small cuts over big ones, reminded me of the saying less is more. It certainly fits in the wood turning world. I liked the bowl with the bark having a big opening. Enjoy the day.
Thank you, Dale! 😊
I think its a beautiful bowl, nice tone, nice live edge. Many people will love it.
😊
Well, Phil, I think you have to look at this piece in this light. All of your turnings are one of a kind, and this is one of them. I like it.
😊
I think the partial bark fits this piece well. It adds to it’s uniqueness. Well done!
😊
Hi Phil,
Your option not to put back the missing bark was the good one ! And the finish is quite nice taking into account this type of wood 👍🏼.
😊
Hi Phil Bob here.Try sanding with 400 grit each time after putting the seal coar on.This will cut the grain down and give you a beautiful finish.Love the show.
I use 3M pads between each coat, Bob. Basically the same as sanding with 400. The end grain in this piece is the problem, just would not seal up. 😊
Too tough on yourself, Phil! Looks nice! Lots of different types of wood… you make them all look much better! Thanks Phil!
😊
Very NATURAL,,, I like it ❤️
Thank you! Cheers! 😊
Beautiful bowl, ❤❤
Thanks, Maddie, I'm glad you think so. 😊
Phil there isn’t a person that is mixed up in art of one form or another that hasn’t made something that didn’t quite click with them yet I’m only looking at that piece of Alder on my screen and I like it very much , it may be different in person but I still think you’ve done a great job, thank you from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
Cool, thank you! 😊
Phil, on the video the finish looks very nice. I like that you didn't put the bark back on. We are our worst critics, that's for sure. Another great piece!!👍
Thanks, Ron! 😊
I think it came out beautifully. Nice finish. Not all turnings are graintacular. Sometimes they are just a nice bowl.
Ok, if you say so, Jeff. Thanks! 😊
Not a disappointment to me. I love the grain of that wood. The camera makes the finish look super smooth and soft. It's just a pretty little bowl. And oh yes leaving the pieces of bark was the right decision.
Keep on keeping on my friend!
Thanks, Bob! 😊
I think the piece looks great as it is. To my eye, the finish is without issue. It isn't the least bit disappointing.
I'm glad you like it, Vicki, thanks! 😊
I like it, Phil. It has a nice natural look. The Alder I have worked with has always been fairly soft.
Thanks, Billy! 😊
I agree with your philosophy of taking finer cuts. You can cause a lot of problems if you try to gouge the material. That’s true with any material, hard or soft. I like this bowl. Sometimes, the extra work is appreciated more once you’re done. Great job. I love it.
Well said! Thanks, Stewart! 😊
Im not disappointed at all. Just like you usually do, its beautiful. Thank you Phil for sharing it with us.
My pleasure! 😊
I personally love the look of that wood. And since you asked, I am think the bowl would look beautiful without the bark. Bark is beautiful for sure but I just know that it will eventually fall off so my take is to just make it look as beautiful as you can without it.
Still the bowl as you've done looks great! Well done!
Thanks, Tom! 😊
I don't know Mr. Phil, I really like the finish. I Love the natural wood. Too many woodworkers finish all the nature out of their projects. Yup, I liked it!
OK, thank you, John! 😊
I like the simplicity of it. The grain is lovely, and the missing piece of bark looks like it came that way
😊
Must be Aussie wood, we have a reputation for enjoying a drink. Thank you for another interesting video Phil.
😊
Im not disappointed in the outcome at all. Looks good Phil. 😎❤✌
😊
While this might not be the flashiest bowl you've ever made, it is an attractive and useful one. It's a good size for a few pieces of fruit, on the table, as an after school snack for the kids. It's a good size for gamers to use, for tokens, in a board game. Such are appreciated, believe you me! For these, the flashiest wouldn't be used, for fear of damaging it. This is one which could even become a treasured heirloom, through constant, and daily, use!
Cool, thanks, Stephanie, I like the way you think! 😊
thanks for the break im having sooo much fun shoveling the three feet of snow and ice i hate winter just saying i think its wonderful you do good work
Oh, my, I would not care for that weather, Debra! Maybe hot cocoa time? Or, maybe something a little stronger? Thanks for taking your break with me! 😊
Still pretty. Thank you, as always.❤
Thank you! 😊
I like it with less bark. I don’t think you should be disappointed with this project. I think it’s perfectly acceptable. I like the grain and tones.
😊
Phil I would not be disappointed my friend it still turned out really good, great job.
Thanks, Alan! 😊
I wouldn't be disappointed atall Phil. You've made a piece that looks good with a good finish on screen. Obviously you've got it in your hands but I'm impressed. Hope you're well sir.
😊
Still a beautiful looking bowl Mr. Anderson! Nice job as always!
Thanks, Cap! 😊
🙋♂️🏴 Hi Phil anyone who doesn't like this must be "barking mad" look at what you started with. And I really loved your advice to new turners although I'm not a wood turner I get what you are saying. Thanks Phil see you soon.
Thanks, John! 😊
I always appreciate the way you work through every problem ; it is perfect for teaching the rest of us. Thanks!
Thank you, Jonathan! 😊
The bowl is beautiful. Bark and lack of bark looks natural. A great bowl.
😊
I love the simplicity of it, it's really quite beautiful
😊
still looks good -- from this view the finish looks good --I do agree about the bark
Thanks, Lynda! 😊
Every time I have a question about what you are doing, or why, you always answer it. You do amazing videos.
Wow, how cool is that! Thanks, David! 😊
It's gorgeous. Calm and peaceful. Love it!
Thank you! 😊
Despite the finish, your work turned out absolutely fabulous. The finish is not that bad. The whole bottle turned out awesome
😊
Maybe not up to Phil Anderson standards but still a beautiful, live edge bowl. A very pleasant grain color! Thanks, Phil!
You bet, Greg, thanks for watching! 😊
That missing bark is driving me crazy Phil lol. Lovely job that man.
😊
Hi Phil, thanks for showing us :)
You bet! 😊
Some of us need a little bit of a tutorial and or tips. So thank you for that moment near the beginning.
You're welcome, Jack, thanks for watching! 😊
Hi Phil, I like this bowl just the way it is. The color and shine are very pleasing. Nothing disappointing here! Great video as always.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you! 😊
Hi Phil WOW that is magnificent and the Alder wood is beautiful the grain and colour, it looks really smooth. The live edge bowl is magnificent. You are too hard on yourself I just wish you could see what I see. I really enjoy your videos and your commentary. Amanda xx
Many thanks, Amanda! 😊
I like it. I also don't mind the missing bark. The bowl looks fine to me. I would add pebbles about a third cup and water, and it would make a fine bird bath for finches and such. It's a beautiful Phil. Thanks.
Thanks, Kersi! 😊
Lovely g o l d colour. Love it, Phil. Like caramel. Glad it warmed up a bit for you. We had very little snow this winter. No big snow storms. The school kids are complaining they didn't get the 2 or 3 snow days that they relish so. Less icy for walking. But I miss the big snow falls that bring a beautiful quiet and calm. Ice on the lake also not as thick; ten inches, instead of two or three feet. Strange. Have a great week.
😊
Good evening, Phil.
I'm running behind this week. Your alder bowl oil is wonderful. "Relax" is a good word. Something I'm attempting in my turning. The results have been very pleasing. See you next time around.
That's great, Ray! 😊
Perfectly nice bowl! Someone would treasure it
😊
I liked the edge without the bark. Looked really interesting. Pretty bowl.
😊
I would leave the pieces off. The grain looks good. It's always interesting watching different types of wood that aren't from my area of the country. I like the shape of the bowl. Again, Phil, thanks for sharing with your CZcams family
Cool, thanks, Doug! 😊
It's great Phil, don't feel too bad, the end result is lovely on video. Stick it on my table any time. 👌Graham UK
😊
It looks a typical Shady Acres piece - and abstract art form! It looks great!!
😊
Hi Phil. This is a beautiful live edge bowl. 😊 you did the best you could possibly do. I like it. I also love where the bark is missing. The color of the “natural edge” wood is awesome. 🤩
Thank you! 😊
I not noticed before how you applied the seal coat, which is my goto sealer. I like the squeeze bottle idea. I have been dipping shop rag material cut into 2”x4” strips but your method doesn’t contaminate the can. Thanks for the tip.
@robertnorthrup1914 you prefer cotton rags vs paper towel to apply a finish?
I like the bark! 👍👍
😊
Awesome Phil! Looks great to me. Sometimes just having some bark missing does look better than no bark. Just depends on what the wood wants. You always figure out what the wood wants.
Thanks, Clyde! 😊
I love the way this turned out. Beautiful piece.
Thank you, Kay! 😊
I like the look of the wood just under the bark. They can have some beautiful patterns under there.
😊
Another unique creation. Just spending time with you and the wood and the lathe was a pleasure ✨
Thank you! 😊
So not disappointing. The contrast of color is beautiful.
Yeah, that's about the only good thing! Thanks! 😊
You are too hard on yourself Phil, it's a lovely bowl. I like the colour, and the missing bark.
Thank you kindly, Heather! 😊
It's a nice bowl , I like it. Even though I give each piece my best , some just turn out better than others...❤
True enough, Robert, thanks! 😊
If you’re disappointed with the bowl, I’ll take it ! It is calm and beautiful, just right. You are hard on yourself, job well done . I learn so much by watching your videos, you’re such a good teacher. Thank you.
If you were standing here I would give it to you, Karen! 😊
What a wonderful charactered wood, it might be a coarser grained and more difficult to get a perfect finish, but the growth rings give it a visual presence, there's nothing wrong with rustic!
OK, if you say so! 😊
Still a very beautiful bowl Phil!!!
😊
I would say you got the best that piece had to offer Phil. Like you said it is mostly used for firewood and this piece has been saved from that by a fine wood turner.
Our son has acres of Alder. I think I have a piece of Ricks stash as well. Hope to get back at the lathe and turn a piece.
So you said maybe you are a speeder.....well I watched you riding the Mukkpet Tank and I would have to say yes you are LOL
Take care my friend,
Gary
Haha, well, it's hard not to speed on a bicycle, Gary, especially when it has a motor to help you along! Thanks, buddy! I've turned a lot of Alder that just wasn't soft like this piece. Maybe if I would have been ready for that I could have done a better job. 😊
Our son has acres of Alder. It is pretty soft.
I’m from Western Washington, where alder is considered to be a weed, and yes, we burn it by the cord! They grow fast and fall down at the drop of a hat. Anything you do with alder that’s pretty is kind of a magic trick to me, like making something out of nothing! 👍🏼🥰
We must be neighbors, Tara! 😊
Hubby and I live near Kansas City now, where the alder count is somewhere near zero! Also there’s no slugs, which is terrific. 😁
We lost a 110-year old pin oak last year, but a friend turned us some beautiful bowls from the wood. I’m getting used to all kinds of different trees! 🌳 🪵
Somehow I’d gotten the impression you were talking n Ohio or something. 🤷🏻♀️ What part of Washington? (Nothing specific - I’m not stalking you.) I grew up in Kitsap County, but lived all around from Port Angeles to Edmonds to Mt Vernon.
@@auntietaraEast Piece county. 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop
👍🏼😁 My mom’s side of the family lived in Eatonville, Packwood, and Enumclaw when I was growing up. Nice to be able to place you!
I really like this piece. I usually prefer bark on but in this case I think I would have preferred all the gone.
😊
It looks good Phil. I personally like the missing bark. Keep the videos coming.
😊
I didn't mind the small section without bark, I didn't think it drew my eye away from the piece as a whole. It finished up fine all the same and you still have the option to put it back on, as you said.
😊
Hi 👋, Phil from Phil, nice job, a great pity that the bark came off, stay safe, keep up the great work, from the moulin
😊
Not disappointed at all…I would happily take it…lol…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
😊
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you, Dianne, I'm glad you think so. 😊
Phill I think something worth noting is that you turn mostly dry or nearly dry wood with knots and unusual features. That type of wood requires a delicate touch not hero cuts.
You're not wrong. 😊
Always a pleasure to see you work and learn from you .I always love the comments camera work and finished product thanks for sharing ❤
Awesome, thank you, George!
Sorry Phil I'm watching this at the wrong end of the day today. Thanks for the lesson, I've only ever had one lesson at turning and although I had fun I never quite understood what I was doing 😂. You just explained it beautifully, thanks.🙏
Oh yeah, nice to see Stubby back at work too 😁
That seemed more interesting on closer inspection there at the end. I think you're right about the bark, it does look natural without those bits that fell off. Lovely colour too. 👍
Thank you very much, Jude! 😊
From here Phil it looks great, I would be happy with it and the missing bark is just fine. stay well my friend
😊
