Accidentally Thin Live Edge Bowl - Wood Turning
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 09. 2024
- A real nice piece of Apple wood, tight bark, lots of possibilities! I almost immediately turned the side walls too thin! I meant to make it thin but not this thin! LOL! I had to spend the rest of the turning time being careful not to go through the side wall while still thinning down the rest of the bowl to match. It was a little scary at times but in the end, I love it! Finished in Feed & Wax.

Got to be one of the prettiest pieces of Apple I have seen Phil. I see the fish and the critter on the inside. That does look like a horse but I first saw some sea creature eating chunk of wood on the bottom of the ocean. I guess I have chunks of wood on my mind LOL.
Dang I think I was 30 seconds away from being first but still happy I got a good seat to what this cool video.
Keep keeping us entertained my friend,
Gary
There are some interesting colors and patterns in the grain, Gary. Sometimes apple can be quite plain but I got lucky! I'm glad you could see some creatures in this one, that's always fun. Thanks a lot for spending some of your time with me, my friend, much appreciated! 😊
I don't often see apple wood turned. So, thank you very much! I like the gentle golden glow of the wood. That, plus the dark edge, with the curve of the piece, makes me think of a very large, crisp potato chip! Thank you!
Ummm, I love potato chips! 😊
That is a real beauty, the kind that needs a home where it gets to be seen, enjoyed, and used. Another nice feature of Howard's is that it's very easy to freshen it up when people keep touching the bowl.
You're right, I should mention that more often! 😊
Looks like a horse hunting for its fish. Phil you are the most enjoyable person to watch and listen to.
Hope all is well and we will see you in a week.
See you next week, Ronnie, thank you! 😊
Don’t breathe too hard or the bowl will fly away, so delicate, so beautiful.
😊
You reached the perfect thinness. A good looking bowl. Wow! Textbook de-nubbing.
Thank you 😋
I always love when you leave some bark on it
Me too! 😊
You have a beautiful addition for your Thanksgiving table! As a centerpiece with dried flowers and pine cones or as a fruit bowl. Gorgeous! 💗💖
Thank you, Vicki! 😊
Phil your skill and work just make me chill out every time I watch you. Keep it up sir . Phil This is nicer than nice.. You have great hands Phil. Still holding you up in prayer.
Thank you so much, Bob! 😊
PHIL, PHIL, PHIL.....you had me on the edge of my seat when that piece got so thin! Of course, you knew it was ok, because, well, you were already finished with it. Silly me! Yes. I saw a boney fish before you said that. Really. I wouldnt lie to you about it! Nicely done sir! 😊❤👍
I believe you, Dave! LOL!
Lovely bowl Phil I love finding things in the grain. Hope your well and feeling stronger now. See you again soon take care 👍👍👍😊😊😊♥️
Thanks, you too! 😊
Very nice Phil, I'd love to "accidentally" be able to make things as beautiful as you do, but as an old farmer my creations were things I welded up to serve a purpose and not worry about pretty. Good thing I was the only one critiquing my work! LOL! I really enjoy watching and listening to you, very relaxing and interesting! Stay safe, God bless you Phil. Rick
Thanks a lot, Rick! 😊
A fish story LOL I also see a fox face. And a seagull face inside. ❤💜 Super cool. LOVE IT.
So cool! Thanks, Marge! 😊
I just love it Phil ,what a beautiful job as always it’s a pleasure. 😊 it’s funny , my wife & I find faces and stuff like that in all of my turnings as well.
Cool, thanks, George! 😊
It’s cool how it came out oval! Great job turning! Thank you!!!
😊
Thin is in! Nice bowl Phill! A lot of work but if anyone can, you can! And apple!
😊
I am the same as you with the live edge, I also loved turning apple wood for the smell of the chipping as they flew... Thanks mate from the South West of England.

So beautiful and challenging, only from an old warrior right? I can say that because l'm 78. I know l'm odd but l need to watch you so l can relax from the day of dealing with people, doctor appointments, and everything that has to be done on computor. Keep it up Phil it's very therapeutic.
I do understand that kind of day, Yvonne. Thank you! 😊
Im so glad you stretched your repertoire even if by accident. I love the results!
I'm glad, Christine, thank you! 😊
Phil, thought I would mention that I have watched this video again for review to help me with a current bowl I am working on. It helps me visualize the process clearly so I don't make the upcoming challenges into bigger obstacles. I like the way you work, and appreciate how you explain your decisions. Thanks Again.
Good to know, Duane, thank you! 😊
BEAUTIFUL!!! apple wood has lot of character love it Phil!👍
3/16 WOW THAT'S THIN!!!
Happy turning to you 👍
😊
Wow that apple is awesome! I have some crabapple limbs and they make beautiful little boxes. I think my girls will like those for Christmas 🎄. Thanks for sharing your beautiful bowl with us.
😊
The chunk of apple wood: The Backstory!
In the winter we had a couple years ago, there was a severe ice storm. It brought down trees and branches all over, power outages everywhere lasting days. There was hardwood available all over! There's a small woods just below our property, mixed hardwood, mostly white ash and hawthorn, but also scattered remnants of an old orchard. Several types of pear, apple and cherry. In the spring when I went to check the storm damage, I found one apple tree had been toppled and the rootball was heaved out of the ground. Lots of suckers on the trunk, but it was doomed. So I put it out of its misery! Cut several nice sections of trunk and a really large 3-way crotch. Eventually, as it seasoned, the trunk sections cracked deeply lengthwise, so I used splitting wedges and halved them. Turned a couple and just knew that both Phil and Gary (The Papa) would love to turn some. Gary got the big crotch (he was nearly drooling over it when he visited) and I sent the half-round to Phil.
And now you know the rest of the story! 😁
Great story, especially the part about Gary drooling! 🤣 Thank you!
😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Phil, you should pin this!
Another beautiful bowl. Absolutely love it! Thanks Phil.🥰
Glad you like it 😊
Looking good that would have wrecked my nerves turning that thin great job Phil you must have nerves of steel 😆
Haha, well, I got through it and that's what counts, Bobby! 😀
There is not a single thing that one can not like, correction, 'LOVE' about this bowl. The Apple wood is very interesting to me & the shape is just delightful, I would put fruit in it to go with the 'fish' & the 'horse' & then proudly display it in the centre of my Dining Room table. The thin walls, whether by accident or by design, suit this bowl to a 'T' & I don't believe for one minute that you were ever out of control with this piece, you kept us in the picture for the whole 'ride'. Love your presentation as always as it us in the picture all the time 'peering over your shoulder'. I have to make mention of just how much I love the Feed & Wax finish when you use it, I would like to see it used more often but that is just my opinion. Keep on improving in your health my friend because there are MANY, MANY people who are great fans of your presentations. Cheers mate, Don from South Aust.
I feel your presence in the shop, Don! 😊
That is a big scary lump of wood when it first starts spinning! You made it into a beautiful and functional piece, well done.
Thank you, Richard! 😊
Lovely bowl...Apple wood is so pretty! I keep thinking I should chop my Apple tree down just to turn the wood.
But think of all the apple pies you'll miss out on, Carol! 😊
Thin is in Phil, you did great. Beautiful bowl. 👍👍👍👍
😊
You said amazing, and that is absolutely right, only word for it AMAZING. Happy Accident turns into amazing. Well done sir!
Thank you, Gregory! 😊
Ooh..that was a heart in the mouth watch Phil...as ever, in the words of George Formby: "turned out nice again"😁
I seem to have developed a habit of referring to old time British performers lately for some reason. George Formby used to greet his audiences in his affable Northern accent with that phrase before performing wonderfully memorable songs on his banjo. "I'm leaning on the corner of the street until a certain little lady goes by" is the line of one I've remembered if you want to look him up. 😄
Another beautiful piece which I am certainly enjoying Phil.👍😊
Interesting, Jude, thanks! 😊
Nice Phil just wonderfully nice 🥳.
Keep the aspidistra flying!
Paul
Will do, Paul, thanks! 😊
After a painful (physical and financial) hour at the dental surgery I could have done without gritting my teeth out of fear that you would end up with an applewood funnel. I can relax now. Thanks as ever, Phil.
OOps, sorry, David! 😊 Next time I will try to be more considerate. LOL!
Just love apple Phil. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe, Jules, Droitwich, England
Thank you, Jules! 😊
“…apply the bevel of the gouge
Against the bottom of the bowl
Right hand on the gouge
Left hand on the switch
And when the little nub stops turning
We’ll know we're through.”
Is it weird that I chant along with all the verses of Phil poetry? I could say them in my sleep. Never been near a lathe!
LOL! This put a BIG smile on my face! Thanks for that! 😊
Nature gave you some surprises. Skilfully turned Phil. Will the bowl crack being so thin ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
No, the wood was quite dry. 😊
THANK YOU PHIL, THANK YOU DAVE AT CALMWOOD CREATIONS... Nice turning this afternoon Phil. 3/16" sides kind of sounds like you were on your way to make a lamp shade (omg...there i go again....) Apple is very cool, not a lot of color but I like the looks of the wood. I saw a fish, horse or was it a fishhorse ... or ... a .... seahorse.....no it was a fish and a horse and something else...but...Next Time Phil
TM
Next time will be Carl's turn, Tuffy! Just finished it. 😊 I know this isn't as thin as you appreciate but it's thin enough for me! LOL!
This is a great one. I'm glad to see you use Feed 'n' Wax. That makes the wood look really fine.
Thank you, Dick! 😊 Cheers!
You are a shear scrapin' sandoflexin' brave son of a gun Phil!
Haha, OK! 😊
Oh, my cod! You've scaled new heights with this bowl. I think it's your finnest work. Great looking bowl.
Wow, thanks! 😊
beautiful thin bowl... I love apple wood ... it's so pretty
😊
GM, GA, GE Sr! Nice piece, I was nervous for nothing because I knew the thin thing was safe in your hands. Always looking forward for the next beauty 😍. Have a great weekend 😀.
Thanks, Reba, you too! 😊
Hehehe NICE, A Horse is a Horse. Love it.
I love it! 😊
Looking from the edge, I saw a fox's face instead of a fish. Damn fine turning, Phil!
😊
Howdy Phil
Oh ha ... that Howard feed and wax is great ... I too like it because just one coat and a little buff.
Smell any apple ? while turnin' .
Nice color wood , like maple . I like all those little knots , like little eyes watching all ! . lol
Thin ... I have seen turnings so thin they use foe a lamp shade ! Held on with vacuum.
Yep ... fish . worms and eyes , and a horse just like Mr. Ed .
I got to get me some apple ....
keep on turnin'
No apple smell, dang it, Bruce!
Haha, "little eyes watching," I like that! And it's true! 😊
What a beautiful piece of Apple.
Yes! 😊
Thank you again Phil for another great Thursday night wind down. We here in the club by zoom have been making Christmas ornaments all evening. Always nice to settle down watching you and a beer 🍺. I didn't see the fish fossil. But I diffenitly saw the 🐎 horse. Hopefully I see you again next Thursday. Also. Pretty nice piece
Thanks for spending some time with me, Albert! 😊
Love the wide bowl with the thin live edge Phill. Thanks
😊
Its lovely i like fruit woods they smell so nice and cut clean , i made a sequoia bowl on monday and the wife thought the cats had pee’d on my shirt 🤣
LOL! 😊
Beautiful banana apple bowl. I like the brown worm like spots.
Yeah, the brown spots really help to make this piece, Garth! 😊
Nice work cobber. A hairs breath between success and a funnel. Well judged. Denis.
Haha, got enough funnels, Denis! 😊
Hi Phil...
Well.. this is a bit of a classic...
Familiar story... anticipation... drama and a happy ending...
Great work and great video...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Haha, are you a writer, Andy? LOL! Thank you, my friend! 😊
A very nice looking bowl, expertly turned, thank you.
Thank you very much! 😊
Another "fruitful" turn Phil. You are an inspiration my friend.
Thank you, Aubrey! 😊
She’s a beauty, Phil. Now, come on, admit it, you love turning thin. We all do after all. And if you don’t like it, well,you certainly did a good job anyway. 😃😃 Beautiful piece once again, my friend. Really enjoyed this video, buddy!
Take care,
…..Gord
Maybe if it was on purpose, Gord but this caught me by surprise! Well, it worked out so that was a surprise, too! LOL! Thanks for watching, buddy! 😊
Another beaut! I noted when you first showed the piece of wood that there was a small nub of a branch coming out the side. Thought to myself "that's going to be a feature", and sure enough the fish appeared. Great turning again!
Ha, I noticed that nub too, Bob and wanted to save it. Didn't know there was a fish in it, though! 😊
I have to agree with Calmwood Phil . The bowl had its own agenda and you just went with the flow . It is just beautiful ! You want to read a funny ? Well , I am working on the same shape bowl out of Birch . I was aiming for a natural edge due to half the bark coming off but in the end even though it is quite thin ( I did the same thing you did ) the bark just refuses to come off only half the bowl ! So , it is what it is ! Happy turning .
Haha, that would drive me crazy, Jon! 😊
Pretty Phil so that's what apple looks like when it is turned I have some pieces of King Crabapple I have been procrastinating over real dry and oh the cracks. Your thin bowl turned out to be beautiful
Sounds great! 😊
Thanks Phil. I love your live edge bowls. I have to say sometimes the oops projects turn out better than the non oops ones. LOL. . As always, Thanks for sharing and be well.
Haha, isn't it so, Linda!! 😊
Good Evening , Phil
That is a Beautiful piece of wood ! Of coarse after
You put your Magic into
It . Another Wonderful piece of Apple Wonder
In the Book!, Yes I can see the Fish bone in in
That piece ! Take Care and Be Safe !
Cool, Larry, thanks! 😊
Fruit bowl or maybe an apple chip bowl. I could see a bowl full of dehydrated apple chips. Nice bowl Phil. Thanks again for another great video. Dan
Thank you, Dan! 😊
Your accidents are so purposeful! Very nice bowl.
Well, sometimes they work out, Stephanie. Thank you! 😊
Nicely done Phil Beautiful Piece! Really cool to see that fish in there and that other spot ya pointed out as a horse did definitely favor a horse,
Enjoyed the video!👍
Thank you, Kimsey! It's fun trying to find the creatures in these pieces! 😊
Phil this is a wonderful bowl. I worried as you keep turning down the edge and I thought oh boy a third of the bowl is going to spin right off.
Thanks for the show!
Joel
You and me both! 😊
WOW! That is an awesome turning! The wood decided what it wanted to be and you went right along with it. It's sort of like doodling with an eraser, ain't it? Well turned, indeed! I knew you'd love it, so I sent the chunk first, and THEN sent you the email that it was on the way! 😅
P.S.: If anyone wants the backstory of this piece of wood, let me know.
I always enjoy learning the history of a piece of wood!
Yes please!
That's the way it usually works. You have 1 thing in mind, but the tool says it's going to look like something else. I don't think I have ever turned anything like I had in my mind. Tools always modifies it to be different. Lol
Yes please.
@@gwynnfarrell1856 Done!
It definitely looks like a horse. Beautiful bowl Phil.
😊
I think that horse looks like a bison. Lovely job Phil and thank you for sharing 🌞
😊
Hiya Phil, Your channel is better than cable that's why I am here. Also for inspiration for what I will turn this weekend, Thanks!
Ah, looking forward to the weekend is what get's some of us through the week, Sheldon! Have fun! 😊
Phil I've been watching you long enough to see your favorite gouge slowly disappear. I'm glad you have another as replacement otherwise I would worry about your fingernails! Beautiful wood Beautiful bowl. I love the feed n wax too.not invites you to touch the bowl. Well done and thin sir!
Haha, I love that gouge! Being quite short makes it easier to control. But, it just won't reach to the bottom of deeper bowls and doesn't give me much leverage. It's getting more and more difficult to sharpen, as well. It doesn't want to fit into the fixture very well. I'll stick with it until the end, Steve! 😊
That's a beautiful Bowl. I love the oval shape.
Thank you! 😊 Cheers!
I really like this one. I just wish it was a bigger bowl. The bark looks nice and smooth. I like the light color of it too.
Thank you! 😊 Cheers!
That is a very simple and elegant bowl👏
😊
Oh my gosh, the hollow rattling sound those wings were making at the end...I cringed with every cut! But of course, you pulled it off. Another beautiful bowl!
Haha, you noticed! Thanks, Leigh! 😊
Hello there! A very lovely fruity fruit bowl. 🍎 🍏 I love it! It looks so smooth. I guess I’ll have to use The Force to feel it. 😉 I saw the horse and the fossil fish. With the fish at the bottom, I see, near the center, a smiling cartoon pig. As you know, I love finding objects in the wood. (If I ever see Star Wars or Sesame Street….. Aye yi yi!!) Time to finish my day! Have a wonderful week, and I’ll see you next video! Big bear hugs to you! 🫧Roma (P.S. Surprised? I didn’t rave on about F&W. 😂😂) 🌲💚🌳🦅
Oh, now I have to go look for the cartoon pig! Next video does indeed have a Star Wars connection. We'll see if you agree! Have a great week! 😊
Thin In my book. Nicely done
Thin enough for me, Rick! 😊
extra nice bowl. love your fish .
😊
That is a very beautiful piece and your imagination will be able to see all kind of thing like on the bottom I see a buffalo and everything is beautiful woods is beautiful and wonderful when it is in your hands Sir
Thank you very much! 😊
That turned out beautiful. Looks like an apple bowl to me too.
😊
Very nice bowl. I love the shape and of course the natural edge.
😊
love it Phil... looks like a Dolphin in the bottom of the bowl, may be looking for that fish...
Could be, Jack! 😊
Great job Phil 👍🏻 To me the horse you were seeing looks like a beaver swimming with a stick in its mouth. But anyway you or I look at it it’s absolutely beautiful! Thank you for another great video
Maybe I need to put my glasses on, Travis! LOL!
That is thin Phil. I was holding my breath at the end lol. Woow. Had me on the edge of my seat. Great work as usual.
Thank you, Sue! 😊
Like the bowl! We saw a lighthouse to the right of the fish skeleton.
Cool, I'll go look! 😊
This piece looks very delicate. Really nice.
Thank you very much! 😊
Yes, it does look like a 🐟 Phil. I can even see it’s 👁. Very beautiful natural edge apple wood fruit bowl. It’s funny I was thinking (while you was finishing up the inside of the bowl) that it would make a beautiful fruit basket/bowl to fill and give as a gift.
Yes it would, Mary! 😊
Just beautiful, man! I picture this with apples or pears in it on the table!
Cool, Jeff! 😊
That is a fantastic bowl. The shape, the wood, etc. I thought the fish looked like a fox face.
😃
No glove.... glove.... no glove. doesn't matter still beautiful. thank you
😊
Not too shabby my friend!👌👌👍👍👏👏
U did it!! Yay!
😊
I like when you use the feed and wax.
😊
Beautiful peice Phil, I just love how fruit wood finishes up.
😊
I knew as soon as you flattened the base it would be a great piece.
Cool! 😊
🙋♂️🏴 Fantastic bowl lovely grain patterns, I did see the fossil fish but not the horse. Really enjoyed the video thanks Phil.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Talk about thin. I've tried thin and its see through. Lol. That's why 95% of mine have the thick look. The shear scraping and I don't get along for some reason. Even tho my bowls are small they look beefy. It came out great. I agree it does look like a fish fossil. Love it. Keep up the amazing work Phil. Love the videos. To next Thursday. Lol
Haha, thanks for watching, Bryan! 😊
WOW just WOW, WOW, WOW 👏 Perfection at its finest 😍 👌
I'm glad you like it, thank you! 😊
Turned out beautiful!. I saw a cross where you saw a fish fossil. Keep turning!!!!
Yes, I see the cross too, Dianne! 😊
Beautiful wish I could touch it. Yes that is DEFINITELY a fish skeleton but I think you got it off on the back. Looks like a Buffalo to me. Either way thank you for sharing. I love it, it's beautiful, and I wish I had one. Thanks for all of the effort. Please keep them coming.💖Nicole.
Buffalo it is, Nicole! Many comments confirm your vision! 😊
Yes Phil, It Sure looks beautiful..The mark also looks like a fish...
😊
Another amazing accident .... I know it's not what you do it's what you don't do .... very nice piece .....
😊
