Glad your son in law cajoled you into turning that piece, truly an Art piece, the end result was worth the effort put into it, entertaining commentary as usual, well done Phil.
I still have plenty more of your videos to watch Phil but this is by far my favorite up until now not just because it looks fantastic but also because you transformed a useless off-cut of firewood into something very special
Thank you so much, Steven! This is one of my favorites, too! Sometimes I think the more difficult the piece is, the more I like it. Not necessarily during the turning process, just when it's done. I'm really glad you like it, too! Phil
Beautiful alder bowl!!! SandOFlex is also available on Amazon. Prices are close to the manufacturers prices. I agree with you Pappa47 is a very talented man. I enjoy watching him work. Hope you're having a good day. ♥️😊
Hi 👋, Phil from Phil. I know this is three years old I’m not sure whether you will find this comment, as per usual a great tutorial on creating a piece of art, It’s amazing how you can turn a pigs ear into a Silk scarf, Especially as it was very scary that would’ve been a bit tender on your fingers. I haven’t seen anything from you lately, I hope you’re keeping well and safe, Phil from the moulin France.
Hi 👋, Phil glad to hear 👂 you are getting better, looking forward to seeing some more art work from you, good luck with your recovery. Phil from the moulin France.
Hi Phil, Amazing to get such a beautiful piece from a scrap cut-off!! Well done! As Carol said, the edge looks like gold, very nice feature. Keep turning! Regards Lars
Phil, that is a great art piece, never seen Alder before this. The bark is really thick and is as interesting as the grain which is beautiful. You're probably right about it would make great furniture wood. You are an artist in every sense, I didn't see this at the onset. I stopped the video when you didn't know what you were to create, I failed at seeing this. Great Art!
I’m going to echo Papa’s words Phil as he said what I was going to. I certainly didn’t see the final piece coming. I like it, more importantly you like it and that’s what matters. Enjoyed seeing you turn that awkward looking chunk of Alder very much. All the best Geof (UK)
Thank you so much, Geof! It was a surprise for me, too. I'm really glad you like it and chose to let me know! I sincerely hope you are doing well, Geof! Phil
I'm so glad, David. I didn't know what to expect, but I do like the outcome. Just wish getting there was more fun! Thank you, David, for your great comment, much appreciated! Phil
Another great vid, Phil. Are you SURE Kelvin likes you??Lol!! I am amazed at what you guys can do with a piece of wood most of us would burn!! This is an exquisite piece of art! Well done, and keep up the good work!
Thank You Phil & Thank You Kelvin...Very interesting project...For a turner who proclaims "I just do not know what I am going to be doing with this thing", ha, you do pretty darn good !..A really neat piece..You did it again Phil. This piece is unusual, challenging, bug-e, bark-e...next time Phil......tm
Thank you, Jeff, for another terrific comment! Well, it was a surprise, alright. I don't know how many of these I have left in me. My heart was beating through my chest, part of the time. Hahaha... Phil
Wow! Thank you so much, Colin! The jacket is working out great, couldn't be happier. Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment. Truly appreciated! Phil
Thank you, Kevin, for understanding the difficulty of this piece. It can be hard to explain. I tell my wife but she just gives me that look, ya know? Thank you so much for your great comment! Phil
Thank you so much, Kobie! This is still a favorite of mine and I keep it on display with some of my other favorites. Sometimes you just get a special piece of wood to work with and this was one of them. Phil
Phil first of all thank you so much for that SHOUT OUT. Coming from you it means a lot. Not only do you have a popular channel with lots of viewers but your vision of turning these odd chunks of wood into art has inspired me. Now for your video! Phil that was challenging for sure but you were up for the task. It turned out fantastic. That grain is stunning. Not what you expect from alder. The flat spot was cool as well as the bug holes. The finish really went great with the piece. There are so many finishes to choose from and I was hoping you would use shellac on this one. My next upload is an odd piece itself. You will know what it is as I have talked about it a few times. I really like the Sandoflex it seems to work great. I picked up 2 sanding balls from Harbor Freight a few weeks ago but haven't really tried them. I will soon and use them in a video. Thank you again for your kind words. Gary
You are very welcome, Gary. Good work should be viewed by as many as possible. I hope it helps. I have to check out the sanding balls. I actually have an idea for an invention but haven't done anything about it, yet. Maybe they have beat me to it! Looking forward to your next video! Phil
Hi Phil, Glad Kelvin prompted you into doing this piece! I had a similar thing where my pulmonary doc gave m,e a piece of some sort of burl! that was very oddly shaped from the rough chain saw cutting. l looked at it on and off for almost 2 months trying to figure how to mount it safely.As with your piece,the mounting (more or less) dictated the shape of the turning,,,,and almost the shape of my knuckles! LOL I was surprised that you didn't use your carbide bowl tool to hollow out the inside! When I doing odd shaped pieces I think I use just about every tool I have until I find the one that I feel safe with. I can now see the big worm holes at the bottom/inside that I didn't see on FB! I think this piece is very artistic and beautiful! Thanks for the video! Tom
In hindsight, (the only kind I seem to have, anymore) carbide would have been a good choice. I don't use it that often so it didn't even come to mind. I know what you mean about looking at a piece off and on until you figure it out. I do that a lot. I'm so glad you like it, Tom, and really glad you took your time to tell me. Thank you so much! Phil
Phil - you are a master especially when dealing with unusual pieces of what turns out to be really beautiful wood. It is a delight to watch your videos - you are an inspiration to me. IAN
Phil, great job on the whirling dervish. The end result is gorgeous! And again you cracked me up with some of the comments. Always an entertaining watch. Gary is indeed a very talented fellow and well worth the watch. The 350RP is $32 from SuperGrit. Billy
Thank you so much, Billy! I did notice the $32 for the Sand O Flex. I knew I should have jotted it down instead of going by memory. That really is a bargain price for brand new. I'll be looking for your next video! Phil
Blue tape was brilliant! Did you not have one of those hollow form corundum thingies that looks like a giant button hook? That's what I thought of when you were working the inside. Not for the faint of heart, this bowl!
Yes I have, a couple of them, actually. The problem with this piece was, that one end sticks out to far to comfortably get my fingers close enough no matter what tool I was holding. It's done now and I'm glad! LOL!
Phil Watching some of your old videos while recovering from a tooth extraction. The alder with the bug holes, or any other wood, do you clean all of them out or just the loose ones?
I had seen this one. I would like to know more about folks using vacuum setup! I own the cheap Central Vacuum 70 gallons. I am now need for setup at the lathe? I done it at my table saw now. Thanks! Oh I enjoy your type of bowls!
Ha Phil nice little piece and ya the eye you have for these pieces is great and beautiful. I just got one of those sand o flex haven't use it yet is it hard to change grits or what ? any suggestions? thanks so much for your video's
Thank you, Larry! It's not hard to change grits but it does take a little time. That's why I have a bunch of them, I'm lazy! LOL! A tip for changing the grits: I put the shaft in a vise to hold it still. It's like having an extra hand and makes things sooo much easier. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Phil
Thanks, Bob! 😄 A lot of it is from the sanding, getting a really smooth surface. Then two coats of shellac based sanding sealer. I apply the shellac in exactly the same way I apply the sealer so I never show that. The method I use between coats helps a lot, too and I show that in this very short video: ruclips.net/video/lqns7oue4W4/видео.html
It's not gonna be in the collection, Tim, it's gonna be on the burn pile. Dig deep, you'll find it. Good luck with yours and thank you for watching and commenting! Phil
Hahaha, Phil, my wood collection would be a normal person’s burn pile. I found a gnarly crotch of Angophora costata and I reckon you’d be happy with the result.
Hey! Do You know that in the 18th and 19th centuries, carpenters used alder-root veneer for fine / expensive furniture such as chests, chests of drawers and writingdesks. I like the little alderbowl, odd and beautiful
I sure enjoy your videos, I am interested in getting a sand-o-flex. Do you only use it with 80 grit ? and do you the glue or resin based siding cloth ?
Thank you, Ernest! To the best of my knowledge, they all come with 80 grit. I seldom use that, almost always use 180 grit to sand bark and imperfections. I prefer the resin bond. It's a little lighter and more flexible. I also prefer the slashed refills rather than the plain. They conform to odd shapes better.
I love Alder. I try to cut it down in late fall or winter when there is no sap to have good bark adhesion. Logs and pieces don't last long on the ground. Red danish oil makes it look like Cherry.
What advise can you give a newbie?? Lol. Besides taking your time and having sharp tools. Only been turning for about a month now and I shared a couple bowls I've turned. Really small bowls.
Wow Phil, so many sharp angles?...I think I might have rounded out some edges first,but then I would have lost it's 'real' character ?? Good decisions all through made for a very interesting bowl. Great Job. Brendan Murphy
I have certainly rounded up my share of pieces, Brendan. I still do it, from time to time. "Just gotta get rid of that flat spot" is how it usually goes, and by then, it's too late! Really glad you took your time to watch and for your great comment! Phil
Thank you, Nick! If you have a piece of wood similar to this, please, be careful. This was a very scary turning with the small opening and the wing pointing towards me. Phil
What an odd shape to stop Phil ........ I see the problem you're having with a balk I've had the same type of problem I ended up using the Gorilla Glue that expands at holds very well pretty good luck with it I have tried epoxy two part glue ......Gorilla has that too . I like those bug holes, something more to look at. Not too many safe ways you could have done that extra Wing sticking out, the only other way if you had to go straight into it with a triple long scraper triple thickness and I would have been safer but a little harder . At Alder it's almost like maple .... Do you agree? looks beautiful
Yes, Bruce, Alder turns a lot like Maple. I had to go buy some new glue, mine was dried up, and I almost bought the Gorilla glue but then decided to stick with what I know. Good to know you've had good luck with it. I might have tried carbide if I would have thought of it. That would have made it easier, for sure. Thanks, Bruce, for watching and liking my bug hole laden videos! Phil
Ya know, John, I think it's age. I suppose it's a silly thought, but sometimes I think "hey, you've already lived a long time, what do you have to lose?" Boy, when I type it out it sounds more stupid then when I think it! If you're younger than me, I advise you to do stuff that guarantees you will one day be old and still have all your digits! Thanks for your great comment! Phil
@@johnfrary5386 ahhh, 66, those were the good old days. LOL! It's a great hobby, as I'm sure you've found out, John. I wish you happy turning for many years to come. Phil
Hi Phil, I'm slowly but surely going through your posts. Bug holes. Never enough. They sure make the piece. like to turn a piece that has more bug holes then wood.
If you like bug holes look for the Junk Wood videos. Bug holes are us! Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment on my videos, truly appreciated! Phil
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Just to expand on that. It's not because it's a wood of equal quality to Mahogany. It's because Mahogany is what they regard as a "Tone Wood" with harmonic qualities which affect the sound of a guitar. Apparently Alder is a "Non Tone " wood which has an even tone over the whole spectrum of sound and so shouldn't affect the tone of your vase/guitar/platter/ or urn.. Jeez. That'll baffle the "Bowl Turners". Cheers.
Can you show me a pic of one like you describe that you've turned, Jerry? Similar to this but with thinner edges. I'm a visual learner and that would help, thanks! Phil
PAPA 1047, HE GOOD, HE JUST NOT PHIL, I WILL GIVE HIM A LOOK-SEE, HE MAY GROW ON ME, GREAT JOB, GREAT VIDEO, PLUS YOU STILL HAVE ALL YOUR FINGERS. { GOT TO GO }...
Glad your son in law cajoled you into turning that piece, truly an Art piece, the end result was worth the effort put into it, entertaining commentary as usual, well done Phil.
Thank you, Lewis! This one was little devil! 😊
I'm glad you're son-in-law said something about this piece. It has a lot of great character!
Saw the thumbnail and thought “Yup Phil’s thrown the health and safety hat out again!”
Great video as always Phil
Ha! I was thinking of you, Andy. Gotta supply the thrills when I can!
Thank you, my friend!
Phil
madronawoodworks it really is a beautiful piece Phil rather you sanding that than me!
It's the Catapillar Lounge, How doo do you dooo. As usual, it was fun watching you find the bowl in the wood.
Cool, thanks, Brad! 😊
Stunning as always Phil .. That son in law of yours sure made you work hard on that piece ..
Thank you kindly, Terry! 😊

I'm so glad you like it, thank you! 😊

Beautiful alder bowl!!! SandOFlex is also available on Amazon. Prices are close to the manufacturers prices. I agree with you Pappa47 is a very talented man. I enjoy watching him work. Hope you're having a good day. ♥️😊
Thanks for the info, Mary! The sander itself is close to the price but the refills are stupid expensive on Amazon.
A very unique art-piece, Phil; and many thanks for the heads-up, on The Papa 1947: I'm now subscribed to you both!
Awesome, thank you, Dwayne!
Thanks for getting back so quick Phil and I'm with you I will most likely buy more so I have them ready lol!
Another magical piece Phil 👍

What was nerve racking for you was fascinating to the rest of us......Thank you for your talent and sharing! I love that bowl !
Glad I could entertain you, Holly-Anne! I'm so glad you love it! Thank you for your terrific comment!
Phil
Another great piece Phil.
Glad you like it, Dan, thanks! 😊
Wow! That was an odd shaped piece. Nice job turning that one. I really like it.
😊
Great job as usual Phil. Both you and Al Furtado have the vision to see beauty in pieces I can only envision as firewood. Beautiful bowl!
Thank you very much, Jim, I'm so glad you like it! I know what you mean about firewood. Now I just want to hunt through everyone's pile! LOL!

Hi Phil try turning with lathe in reverse you get a whole lot of different chisel angles, Turned out ok though.
I try not to do that very often, Michael. Many of my viewers don't have reverse but I understand what you are saying.
I love Alder. I try to cut it down in late fall or winter when there is no sap to have good bark adhesion. Logs and pieces don't last long on the ground. Red danish oil makes it look like Cherry.

Love it...very unusual! Looks like you put gold wax on the live edge.
Thank you very much, Carol! It does look kind of golden and that sounds better than what I was thinking.

What an odd shape to stop Phil ........ I see the problem you're having with a balk I've had the same type of problem I ended up using the Gorilla Glue that expands at holds very well pretty good luck with it I have tried epoxy two part glue ......Gorilla has that too .
I like those bug holes, something more to look at.
Not too many safe ways you could have done that extra Wing sticking out, the only other way if you had to go straight into it with a triple long scraper triple thickness and I would have been safer but a little harder .
At Alder it's almost like maple .... Do you agree? looks beautiful
Yes, Bruce, Alder turns a lot like Maple. I had to go buy some new glue, mine was dried up, and I almost bought the Gorilla glue but then decided to stick with what I know. Good to know you've had good luck with it. I might have tried carbide if I would have thought of it. That would have made it easier, for sure.
Thanks, Bruce, for watching and liking my bug hole laden videos!
Phil
Beautiful
Thank you very much, Irene!
Phil
Very pretty. Scary too.
Thank you! Yes, a little intimidating, at times. Glad it's finished!
Phil
I love it!
Alder IS used for furniture. It fills in for Cherry quite often.
Good to know, Samuel, thanks!
It is a good looking bowl
Thanks, Judith! 😊
Very cool 👍🏼👍🏼
I'm glad you like it, Tomas! Thank you!
Phil
Let the tape extend past the point so it hits flesh before your fingers. Just a thought.

Now why didn't I think of that, William? Where were you when I needed you? LOL!
Great tip, I hope I remember to use it next time!
Phil
Just watched it again I would have lost a few fingers, don't know how you didn't good job again
Ya know, John, I think it's age. I suppose it's a silly thought, but sometimes I think "hey, you've already lived a long time, what do you have to lose?" Boy, when I type it out it sounds more stupid then when I think it! If you're younger than me, I advise you to do stuff that guarantees you will one day be old and still have all your digits!
Thanks for your great comment!
Phil
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshopI'm 66 started turning as a retirement hobby
@@johnfrary5386 ahhh, 66, those were the good old days. LOL! It's a great hobby, as I'm sure you've found out, John. I wish you happy turning for many years to come.
Phil
Aladen's lamp
Yes, I see that, too, Judith!
The light color on one side says HI
OK!
Hi Phil, I'm slowly but surely going through your posts. Bug holes. Never enough. They sure make the piece. like to turn a piece that has more bug holes then wood.
If you like bug holes look for the Junk Wood videos. Bug holes are us! Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment on my videos, truly appreciated!
Phil
What would you charge for this one?
Oh, gosh, I have no idea, Dale. I've never sold any of my work.
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop thank you Phil.
May I suggest using Gorilla Glue, it also has a filling of voids ability.
Thank you, Charles!
How much would you charge someone for that beautiful piece?
Answered the first time you asked, Dale.
That looks like a knuckle buster.
😊
It's almost like a little boot
😊
Howdee!
should use CA glue
I do at times, Thomas.
Alder is commonly used in Fender guitar bodies instead of mahogany.
I did not know that, William, thanks!
Phil
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Just to expand on that. It's not because it's a wood of equal quality to Mahogany. It's because Mahogany is what they regard as a "Tone Wood" with harmonic qualities which affect the sound of a guitar. Apparently Alder is a "Non Tone " wood which has an even tone over the whole spectrum of sound and so shouldn't affect the tone of your vase/guitar/platter/ or urn.. Jeez. That'll baffle the "Bowl Turners". Cheers.
@@dominangel23 I always try to learn something every day, William, and you've helped me with that, today. Thank you for the great info!
Phil
A Bowl to keep your Howdees in!
Hahaha! I'm getting quite a collection, Irene, so yes, I'll just tuck them right in there!
Phil
you would have still had the chain saw marks if you made the live edge thinner and it would looked better
Can you show me a pic of one like you describe that you've turned, Jerry? Similar to this but with thinner edges. I'm a visual learner and that would help, thanks!
Phil
PAPA 1047, HE GOOD, HE JUST NOT PHIL, I WILL GIVE HIM A LOOK-SEE, HE MAY GROW ON ME, GREAT JOB, GREAT VIDEO, PLUS YOU STILL HAVE ALL YOUR FINGERS. { GOT TO GO }...
Thanks, Catfish!
Better safe than sorry, broken fingers = no fun at all.
