Cherry Burl Platter - Wood Turning
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- I turn a beautiful platter from an old piece of wood picked up at a yard sale. No one is more surprised than me at what was in that piece of cherry. A challenging piece, due to the gaps in the piece, but turned out nice, nevertheless.

I love what you have done with this! Stunning.
Thank you so much! 😊
Beautiful beautifully sculptureed. If not hanging on the wall then somehow free standing. I don't know what kind of wood it is. I call it yummy grain.
Thank you, Glenda! It turns out I was wrong when I called this Birdseye Cherry. It's actually a Cherry burl. And to think it came from a yard sale! I agree, it's beautiful grain.
You cannot do any better than your best Phil.
😊
Awesome and very unusual. I love all the bark and the way you always save as much of nature as you can. Beautiful!!!
Thank you, Mary! One of my very early pieces. 😊
I don't think it matters what tge wood is! It turned out great! Good job, this shows your ability to master all jobs in turning! ❤
Thank you very much, Mark! 😊 It's been quite awhile since I turned this but, I still love it, one of my faves!
I love when you take nature's beauty and make the most remarkable things!
Thank you, Jo Ann! It's not hard when you have wood like this to work with. 😊
How beautiful this would be in the center of a dinning room table. And to think someone no longer wanted this piece of wood,and you saw the beauty and possibilities in it . A true treasure to be past down for generations found at a yard sale,can you believe that! But it took a master to bring it out for everyone else to see.
I still can't believe I got it so cheap, Patricia! 😊
The Birds Eye Cherry plate was spectacular - I would be very interested in buying that piece. Is that possible?

PS: When I retired I bought a used Shopsmith, now after watching you I wish that I would have bought a nice lathe like what you have.
I'm so pleased that you like this piece enough to buy it, Dick, thank you! 😊 I'm unable to sell any of my work. There just isn't time for packing and shipping. Maybe one day I'll have a helper.
The grain is lovely. It looks almost like marble. And yes, that would be called Birdseye according to the wood database. It’s a beautiful platter. I’d love to have that sitting in my great room. Stunning.
I love this piece, Chanda, I'm glad you like it, too! I've been told it is a burl, rather than birdseye. I got it at a garage sale with a couple other nice pieces of wood for a total of $7.00. One of my best purchases ever!
Phil
Yep, I'd call it Birdseye Cherry, Ya did it proud. Beautiful platter...cheese anyone?🧀
You would be wrong, same as me. I'm told it's a Cherry burl, not birdseye. Oh, well, I like it just the same whatever it is! 😊
A very stunning piece of art sir, very beautiful. Was enjoyable to watch, you worked hard on this one. Thanks for the hard work and sharing it with us. 🌿 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
I just can't believe I got such a beautiful piece of wood at a yard sale, Rob! Thanks! 😊
Beautiful piece Phil - one of my favourites. It puts me in mind of the shield of an ancient soldier which has been damaged in battle and then left buried in the ground of the battlefield and been rusted and patina'd by the elements and the centuries and then unearthed and cleaned and shined by an archaeologist who recognised its history and significance but who left its flaws to demonstrate its purpose. I know the wood is not centuries old but it shows its age and its flaws and its purpose is now no longer as a tree but as a platter. It is still a piece of history though and you brought that to life with your skill and imagination. You have a gift Phil, truly.
You have quite the imagination, Stevan! And to think the wood came from a garage sale! 😊
Hi Phil
Thanks so much for your channel.
I have just started wood turning and I'm hooked. I'm in western Australia and am lucky to have access to a range of timber stock. Trying to make a bowl a day ,maybe 4 on the weekend.
Your example and instruction is worth ots weight in gold.
Kind regards
KEV
I appreciate your time watching and commenting, thank you so much, Kevin! 😊
Hi Phil
Love all of your videos
So much learning and Inspiration you are giving new wood Turner's like me me .
God bless you 🙏 ❤️
Long live Phil.
Wow, thank you, Ahsan!
Hi Phil,
I have been following you for over a year now, this came about when I bought my first large.
You have been a true inspiration to me. Your method of communication is fantastic.
I remain extremely grateful to you.
Best wishes

From York England UK
Howdy, Derek! Thank you so much for your kind words. Happy and safe turning! 😃
Phil,
Just seeing this video. Great looking platter (bowl) looks like an Old World classic.
Great Job!!
😊
Stunning piece of work. I've never seen figure like that in cherry. What do you use to glue those little foam pads back together? I'm always ripping the velcro off the super soft one and I haven't found a way to glue it back onto the foam. Any tricks?
I repair those fairly often. I use CA glue. Apply it only to the Velcro part, don't let it get on the foam until you put the pieces together. It will harden the foam and make it useless. I put the pieces in a vise and apply the most gentle pressure to just keep the pieces together. Squeeze too hard and you'll ruin the foam.
Its really beautiful Phil, wonderful grain. Regards Graham
Thank you, Graham! 😊
I truly believe that your hands have been touched by an angel. Your are provided with the most incredible magic bean stock ( fire wood) and you turning it into intoxicatingly beautiful pieces work of are no matter the shape or form the beans were. God bless you Phil. Take care and be safe.
Wow, thank you, Sylvie! 😊
Thank you, Phil! Beautiful piece! Fantastic grain no matter what you call it! Cheers, Pete
Glad you like it, Pete! Cherry Burl as it turns out. Whatever, it was fun to turn!
Phil. Love the plate. The figure is great. I noticed that you have different sand o flex units for different grits. Do you know where I can get just the wheels and brushes without the sanding paper refills? The sites that I have found only sell the wheels with 80 grit. Thanks.
Ebay is going to be the best bet for you, I think, Tom. Most new units have the refill included.
where did you get the flap sander
It's called Sand O Flex, Kenneth. The metal model I use is no longer made. You can still find them on eBay. The newer plastic model can be found on eBay at mostly inflated prices or at various online retailers. I've found best selection and prices at:

Phil
My wife sez there's a place on our wall for that piece, beautiful.
We still catching up enjoying every video
That is awesome! I appreciate the time you and your wife are spending with me, Gary! 😊
I love the fact your so honest when your in doubt about something. So hard to find these days. Phil, your doing a great job, love your site. Would like to meet you some day. I’m a naivest wood turner just retired. I’m learning a lot from you keep going. 👍👏
I appreciate that, Chris, thank you!
My goodness that's a big honkin' piece of wood! Wow! I don't know if it's birdseye or not but to me it sure looks like part of a burl with the way the grain goes every direction! It came out beautiful for sure!
You are correct, Hotrod and I was wrong. It is a burl according to many of my viewers. 😊
What type or brand of sharpener do you use to keep your tool sharp. I’ve had two grinders that I was using and I have throughly dulled my tools by taking all of the edges off. So I need some info.
You can see my sharpening setup in action in this video, Ronnie: ruclips.net/video/PUGFEgJTogA/видео.html
Before you put oil on , it looked l8ke a piece of stone . It does have beautiful grain . Great job Phil .
I really got lucky finding this piece at a yard sale, I still can't believe it, Jeff! 😄
Phil I was watching a Video On Burl Master Rusticts is this a Piece from them xxx The end result is amazing xxxx
I got this piece of wood from a yard sale, along with two other pieces. $7.00 total! 😊
That is gorgeous Phil 👌🏽A true craftsman... ✊🏽
Thanks, Ethan! 😊
Love the work you do with firewood. Most anyone can take a perfectly dimensioned piece of wood and create. The stuff you work with takes talent and perseverance. Very nice piece.
Thank you for watching and commenting, Jim! By far, I prefer to do the oddball stuff when I can find it, like this piece. It does take perseverance, but the reward is worth it! Most of the time, anyway.
Why didn't you save time by cutting it within the parameters of the live edge instead of using your tools?
Well, William, I did!
Thank you Phil for your outstanding videos and turning. God blessings
Glad you like them, Dean, thank you very much! 😊
Phil no matter what you feel about a piece from your skills you certainly realease the beauty held within the timber that in its self is a skill love it 👍
Thank you, Jeff! 😃
Wow, wow, wow! I sure hope that you or one of your kids has this hanging on a wall! It's absolutely stunning.
It's one of my very favorite pieces too, JN! This piece has a bit of a story. I was at a yard sale and this was standing behind an open door. I told the guy I wanted it and he said he had a couple more pieces out in the yard. I bought all three pieces for 7 dollars. This is the only one of those I have turned. The others are a large end-grain Cherry and a 4x8x4ft. piece of Walnut. I only hope the others are as spectacular as this piece is. It really surprised me!
Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment!
Phil
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I gotta go to the same garage sales that you go to!
That’s a hard piece. A lot of work. Came out GREAT!!
Thanks a bunch, Victor! 😊
Really lovely work Phil. I also like large irregular platters and have done quite a few.
😊
Another one of your oldies but a real beauty looked like it was out to give you a workout love it Blessings
Thanks so much 😊
You are so talented I would of throw it across the room before I got it done. 😂 But it looks awesome
Thank you! 😊
Wow that's a beautiful platter! It almost makes you think burl!
As it turns out, Stephen, several of my viewers pointed out that it is indeed a burl, not Birdseye Cherry. I'm glad you like it!
Wow!!! I love the grain! Absolutely beautiful!!
Thank you very much, Barbara! 😊
Phil, I think this is my favorite piece so far! Absolutely stunning! This will make a beautiful wall hanging!
Thanks so much, Tina! It's pretty special to me, too. 😊
Dude! That is incredible. Keep that up. Beautiful stuff.
Thanks a ton, Greg! 😊
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME CHERRY BURL PIECE! YOU ARE A FANTASTIC ARTIST BLESSED BY THE LORD...🙄☝️❤🙏
Thank you, Matthew! I never even considered it could be a burl but that seems to be what others are saying, as well. I was quite surprised to find that grain inside!
It's an angry eye to me. Maybe serve meat on it. Killed animal.It looks alife, yet, ready to kill/die/death. It's got strong spirit, and you brought it all out. Great, thanks.
Thank you! 😊
Wow! That is a wonderful piece of Art!!
Thank you very much, Robert! 😊
You found this at a garage sale? I must be going to the wrong neighborhoods. If you don't mind what did you pay for it? Beautiful platter and you showed incredible patience.
Hi Joe! Yes, at a garage sale. It was sitting behind a door, I don't think they had any intention of selling it. I got this piece, another larger Cherry end-grain piece and a 4" x 8" by 4ft. piece of Walnut for 7 bucks! Some times ya just get lucky! Thank you, Joe, for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated!
Phil
Awesome project.
How long did it take?
Can't remember, this was years ago! Probably 10-12 hours.
Do har gjort det igen. Vacker mycket vackert . Ilike it.
Tack! 😃
Absolutely stunning!
I'm glad you like it, Reise, thank you!
Phil If you were to sell it what kind of price might you put on it
That may be one of the reasons I haven't tried to sell any of my pieces, Keith. Who knows? Just the wood in this one would be very expensive to purchase, I'm told, because it is such a large burl. I just really don't know, sorry.
Phil
Going back through your videos Phil & spotted this & thought, that’s going to be one to watch. Certainly not disappointed. What a great piece of wood to start with. Some of the features look like it had a burl that penetrated inwards & the bird’s eyes are really nice. I’d call that a gallery piece. Would make an excellent wall hanger or a standing piece stood on a support plynth. I like it a lot, great job.
All the best from the UK
Geof
That wood was such a lucky find! I got it at a yard sale, along with a couple more pieces. I don't know if they are burl like this one, I guess I should plane them a little to find out. It was a surprise for me, that's for sure! Thank you so much for watching and commenting, Geof!
Does your lathe have an outboard swing?
The headstock slides to the tailstock end of the lathe. It also rotates. I don't use either feature.
Phil that's awesome piece love the colors great Job
Glad you like it, Rich, thank you!
Beautiful grain. So very well done.
And to think the wood came from a garage sale!
Good evening Phil this wood grain is breathtakingly stunning, it makes me think of velvet the way it shines. I love the natural edge around the platter it is really awesome.
Howdy Kobie! I bought this piece of wood at a yard sale, along with two other pieces. It was leaning against the wall behind a door. I don't think they even knew it was there but I could see some of the grain and had to have it. It turned out to be one of the most beautiful pieces of wood I've ever had the opportunity to work with. I'm so glad you like it, too!
Phil
I ĺove it .
Me too, the wood was such a lucky find. Thanks, Hubert! 😊
Wow! That grain is mesmerizing.
Agree and from a yard sale! 😊
Hello Mr Madronawoodworks .....That looks nice . To get into the different size " slots " I used in my prehistoric cookie " POWERTEC 11301 Sanding Drum Kit " 13$ on Amazon and used the same drill and 2 inch pad sandpaper
the platter is wonderful, it looks like you captured a storm in the wood and made a platter out of it.
I love your description, Joyce! Thank you! 😊
Good day Mr Andersen,
How do you sharpen your recess tool as it has two sides to sharpen at an angle? I can do only one side (the end) as I would sharpen a scraper. But what about the side?
Sharpening that tool is, as you have found out, problematic, Alain. I will admit to trying to sharpen that inside angle with a diamond card. You can get most of it but it's hard to get inside that corner. I also think that if you try that enough, you will alter that angle. I've found the best way is just to lay the flat top on a diamond card and slide the chisel back and forth. This will not raise the desirable burr, but it will make the edge thinner, thus, sharper than before you started. Hope that helps!
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Thanks Phil, I will try the diamond card. Regards. Alain
Awesome Phil, a great piece!!!
Many thanks, Jeff, especially for taking your time to watch and comment! 😊
I just call it beautiful!
😊
Wow, you truly are a master at this. Fantastic. Stunning!
I'm so glad you like it, Andrew, thank you!
Phil
Wow Phil!..awsome garage sale find!...beautiful piece..great job!
HI PHIL say i really like this one it to me is one of the best i seen you done so far say i just thinking do you have any trouble at a airport you turn some rough stuff and i wanted to know have they cought you yet standing in front of a prop plane turning on the propeller while it was standing in line for take off hahaha this is kind of DUMB of me wasting printing space and asking DUMDASS questions haha again but what the hell its just life anyway talk to you later if you want to respond back to a idiot GODBLESS larry
Thanks again, Larry! No problem at airports. I may be dumb but not THAT dumb! :) I think this may be one of my best, too, Larry. But, the wood gets much of the credit. It's just beautiful!
I find it beautiful! Great piece!
Yay, thank you, Greer! 😊
Phil another extremely beautiful peice. Looking for a cheap set of chisels for turning wood any recommendations
So glad you like it, Eric, thank you! I use just about the most inexpensive chisels you can buy. Benjamin's Best from Penn State Industries. I bought almost their full set before I retired knowing I was going to be woodturning after retirement. That was more than 10 years ago. I use them almost daily and they do everything I could ask of them. I guess I would like if they would stay sharp longer, but honestly, I think that is the case even with the more expensive chisels. It takes less than a minute to sharpen one so it's really no big deal. There is another brand that I've never purchased but they look exactly like mine and that is Hurricane. I've seen other turners use them and I'm sure they are fine, too. Hope that helps!
Phil
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop thank you Phil that helps very much. I am a OIF U.S. Army veteran who is very interested in wood turning
Brilliant Phil love the work
Thank you, Alan! 😊
Wow! That grain is amazing!
It is indeed, Beatrice!
Hi Phil. Beautiful work mate. I know this is an old video but I’m looking at similar things for some Tasmanian timber called myrtle.. It has the same awesome finish and I really love your work and your explanation as you go. I’d like to send you some pics but I’m not sure how. Anyway your work is lovely.
Thank you
Tassy Greg
Thank you, Greg! We have Myrtle here in the states. Don't know if it's the same but it grows in Oregon. Beautiful wood. Best of luck with yours!
You can only do so much with what you have, and I think it is absolutely gorgeous.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much, J'Lyssa! One of my favorites! 😊
Beautiful design.
😊
This is a lovely platter, with amazing, complex grain! Those large gaps do make it a "bumpy ride," don't they? Well done!
Yes they do! I'm glad you like it, Stephanie, thank you!
Only one word to describe this piece Mr. Phil.....BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you...
Agreed, Patricia! I still can't believe I found this piece of wood at a yard sale! 😊
Morning Phil... (coffee wake-up)...It is a pleasure watching you explore and explain a new adventure on your lathe...As an old manual machinist I cringed slightly watching you work with your long sleeves...oh well...please don't get hurt...I look forward to your next adventure...Beautiful piece and wonderfully executed....This is FUN...now more coffee and explore some of your older stuff....Thanks....TM
Yeah, I know about the sleeves. It was one of the first things they taught us in 7th grade shop class. I do try to be careful about it but, man, it's cooold out there in the winter time!
Phil, I really enjoy your videos! I, especially enjoy your comments as you are working on a particularly hard piece. As mentioned in other comments, I really like your honesty and if you make a mistake the way you admit it and how you solve the problem! Please keep the videos coming!
Cool, thanks a lot, Roger! 😊
It definitely looks like burl grain but I can't see any "eyes" on my phone but I take your word if you can. I've never seen many burls on standing cherry trees but understand they are pretty common on cherry in DE.
Turns out it is a Cherry burl, Paul. I didn't know that at the time. The grain just reminded me of birdseye.
Awesome job Phil
Hard to mess up a great piece of wood like this, Oliver! Thank you!
Or a cherry burl?
You are correct, Lois! 😊
What a great-looking piece of wood! Nice work, Phil. Glad you have the patience to work with a complicated grain like that.
Thank you, Jonathan!
Cherry burl
Correct! 😊
Hi Billy from down under, what a beautiful piece of wood, I cannot get any cherry in Australia, one day I will drive out too the cherry area and see if I can get some. Beautiful piece.
Kind regards Steve Sayers

Hi Steve! If you can get some cherry I'm sure you will enjoy turning it. When it's just normal grain it turns easily and finishes beautifully. Good luck and thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Nice job Phil.
Thank you, Allen! 😊
Its beautiful Phil!!
Thanks, Mark! 😊
I can't get over how the grain looks so much like marble. What a beautiful countertop that would make.
Many of my viewers said this is not birdseye but a Cherry Burl. Pretty rare around these parts.
You are one brave man. I have never attempted anything with that size diameter. I am impressed. Once again a beautiful piece.
I'm glad you like it, Donald, thank you!
Phil, when you use your square scraper lift your right hand to put it into a negative rake it will cut cleaner. Otherwise a great job.
Good advice, Paul, thank you!
That piece presented some real challenges Phil! It looks like the edge of a burl because of the grain going in so many directions. If it s cherry, it's a huge one. It turned out to be a beautiful piece. Good job.
"I am still envious of the deal you got on your new lathe...." LOL
"It's a burl" seems to be the consensus, Charlie. That didn't even occur to me! It if hadn't been for the deal, I would probably still be turning on my old Delta, which was very good to me. Thank you, Charlie!
Very nice Sir.
So nice of you, Rex!😊
That wood is amazing and you did a fantastic job with it. Absolutely beautiful.
Thanks, Kathie! 😊
A work of ART, Phil. I’m lost for adequate words.
And to think the wood came from a garage sale, Hubert! 😊
That is the best looking hunk of cherry I have ever seen. You did it justice. THanks
The platter aint bad either eh!!?? 🤣🤣
Sweet piece, thanks for the video.
I relax in the evening, after hard day's,by watching your wood turning.
Life is difficult right now , but it will hopefully get better . But to watch you bring out the form and beauty of a simple piece of wood is the most pleasant of ways to relax. Thank you.
Thank you very much, Debra! I wish for you pleasant times ahead, much as you have brought me. 😊
Thanks for the
nice job, that was a great find, at a yard sale, I really loved the grain. Keep up the great work, I look forward to your videos.
I bought another piece of cherry at the same time, only it's bigger. I hope it turns out to be of the same quality. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, Barb!
I'm going to try something like this for a wall clock Bravo!
Great idea, David! Happy Turning!
Phil
Absolutely Beautiful Phil! Thank you 😁👍
Many thanks, Terrie! 😊
It's absolutely a beautiful platter!😍 I do have one question. I noticed that on most of your thicker/deeper pieces, you make a tenon but on your skinnier ones you put a recess. I would think on a thin piece of wood, you would make a tenon so it won't be possibly even thinner?
Ah, this is a conversation I try to avoid, Sunshine. It's kind of a "which is safer, tenon or recess" question. No matter how many turners you ask, you will get even more answers. I've seen it even get nasty! LOL! But, I'll play along. Normally, I prefer a tenon because I think it's safer. But, a tenon actually takes more wood away than a recess does. I know you've watched a few of my videos so if you can remember how I make a tenon, you will know what I'm talking about. I have to remove wood around the tenon to create the tenon. Then I have to remove the tenon. I do prefer a recess on the thinner pieces because it wastes less wood and is safe enough. I hope that helps! I'm so glad you like this piece, it's one of my favorites. Thank you!
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I get it. Thanks and yes that makes more sense. I respect your opinion! It just seems completely opposite
from what you would think.😉 But who knew🤷♀️
That grain is amazing. As you were getting ready to turn the top I was thinking it would make a gorgeous end table.
And it came from a yard sale for a couple bucks! 😃
Belo trabalho, gostaria de saber que madeira, e de onde e nativa esta madeira
Mais uma vez parabens pelo resultado final
É um burl de uma cerejeira. Eu acho que as cerejeiras crescem em todos os lugares.
It does look like birdseye cherry burl to me. Thankyou for your time.
Yes Vincent, "it's a burl" seems to be the consensus. That thought never even occurred to me! Thank you so much for watching and commenting, much appreciated!
