- I attempt to duplicate a piece I saw and admired by Tim Kaufman, but the result is not what I was looking for. Still, a fun turning. Originally Title Pine Winged Bowl, I've since determined it's Sycamore!

Beautiful job. When you look back on where it all began and were you are now I am still impressed. None of your turnings are ordinary. A straight spindle is ordinary. A winged bowl is always a thing of beauty.
Thank you so much, Sue! 😊
Looks great to me. I am not a wood turner. But my husband loved 😍to work with wood. Your love of the wood 🪵is very important. God bless you.
Sounds like you understand, Sandra, thank you! 😊
Another gorgeous piece!
😊
Not so ordinary Phil and I like Sycamore.
I do as well, Lewis. 😊
Beautiful bowl
😊
It’s nice to see your early work. It’s fun to spot the similarities and differences compared to the way you do things now.
Glad you enjoy it, Dan, thanks! 😊
Hi Phil,
This looks like a piece of Sycamore
Gary
Because it is, Gary! 😊
Don't beat yourself up Phil, for a piece of pine I think it's has a lovely shape and design. A Japanese style me thinks! Graham UK
Thank you! 😊
I’ve watched many of your videos and don’t recall you ever starting with a whole log.
Oh, yeah, now and then, Tina. 😊
Nice work Phil. Cool bowl.
Nice piece! I gotta say you do a lot better job on your videos now than you did 2 years ago!
HA! No doubt about it, Stephen!
I have a couple pieces of Big Leaf Maple that have been drying on my loft that I might try to copy this design with. I enjoy your turning videos. Hope you keep producing them. Good job.
Thanks, David! Yeah, give it a try. I'm sure you will enjoy yourself and the outcome.
Well the content and skills are just as entertaining in these early videos mr Anderson, you just seem about 30% less chirpy than the later ones ;) I much prefer the up-to-date you :)
I appreciate that! It takes awhile to get used to the camera and talking to an empty shop! LOL! When I decided you really are all there with me, I could relax a little. 😊
It's a good looking turning.
Thanks, Rick, I appreciate that!
I'm in the Woodchuckers group too! Are you still in it? Was that log dried? Don't things crack with the pith in them?
I'm still in that group, Hotrod, but I hardly ever have time to look at it. This Sycamore was quite dry, including the pith. I've found as long as the pith looks stable it will be just fine. Also, I live in a cool, wet climate. Things dry out very slowly, here and I don't experience a lot of the cracking, etc. that other turners living in dryer/warmer climates, might. 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Thanks for that info Phil.
what is your non slip pad where do you get it
It's shelf liner, often used in RV's. Probably any place that sells shelf liner will have it, Dennis.
thank you
The only comment or critique I would offer is the unevenness of the wing thicknesses. You must just keep cutting wood away unlit they are even. I realize it is scary with the wings and open spaces flying past. Light cuts and practice, practice. Fast speed helps. On many of my projects I do, I don't hesitate to leave the bark as a feature and everyone loves it.
Thanks, Jack, for watching my video and commenting. I truly appreciate it! Yes, I agree, the wing thickness should be equal all the way around. In this case, I was trying to emulate the piece in the picture just to see if I could. When I'm making a square edge piece of my own design, I always make the thickness equal. I too, prefer to leave bark whenever possible. The more of nature I can leave in a piece the better! Thanks again for watching and commenting!
I live in the largest boreal Forrest in Canada, that is not pine, maybe an odd colored maple?
Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, Minty, much appreciated!
I found another piece where you remembered you have Danish oil....
Oh yeah, I had kinda forgotten about this one, Steven! It's around here, somewhere!

Boy, that doesn't look like pine.
I know what you mean, Don. There are so many varieties of pine it can be tough to know what's what!
