    I’m from Oregon, now in Arizona. I make fine furniture and have used lots of that gorgeous wood. It’s Myrtle wood, only found in a very few places in the world. So yes, it’s rare. Great job turning that gnarly chunk of wood.

    Love this piece! After my parents retired they booked a trip to California, Washington, Oregon and my Dad brought me a covered desk top box made of Myrtle wood back on the plane. My mom said he held in his lap all the way! That was probably 35 years ago. I cherish that piece dearly. Oh dear. I am tearing up again. 😢

    Hi I live in Wales a part of the UK. I’ve been following you for about 14 months and I just love all of your work. Your honesty in over coming the problems is so inspiring.
    I’ve only been turning for 15 months yet I’ve learned so much from you. Can’t wait to watch the next one. Keep safe and turning….. Debs 😊

    You know, Phil, this piece of driftwood sort of represents us in a way. No matter what we look like on the outside....... Each person has a hidden beauty within..... Don't you think?
    In some it could be intelligence, in another person it could be compassion, another would have insight, and still another might have inner strength... Or joy..... Everyone's got something.
    This little piece of Driftwood of yours could teach us all a lesson. Look at all the beating it's taken as it's washed through the ocean and hammered on the sands of the beach (as we go through life people become that way). And then somebody like you took the time and trouble to find its inner beauty, and then shine it up!
    It seems to me that we can and should do that with each other.

    When I get to see pieces like this it reinforces to me how fortunate I am that people like you exist Phil so that I can sort of forget my disabilities & all the associated pain & relax while my friend Phil sets himself to explore & release the beauty of nature specifically in wood. You are a master my friend at working with, not against nature. With your wonderful way in commentating 'on the run' shows just how much you immerse yourself in carefully exposing the beauty just waiting to be release in your masterful way. Totally relaxing & wonderful craftsmanship on show for "all to enjoy'. What a joy you really are to the world of wood turning my friend. A truly magnificent piece of artistic wood turning in any way you look at it. I 'give up' on trying to say your 'best piece of work' because you keep on producing them. Keep it up my friend. Don from South Aust.

    • @PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop
      @PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop  3 года назад +2

      Wow, thank you, Don! I guess I was just amazed at the beauty inside a piece of driftwood. Had no idea what to expect so this turned out to be a real treat for me. Thank you, my friend! 😊

    • @tiffanyjack6095
      @tiffanyjack6095 2 года назад +1

      How is it that I found him just a week ago, and am disabled with chronic pain also and find Phil to be completely relaxing and mesmerizing. Watching him uncover what nature has hidden with his hands and a few tools, it is amazing to me. Phil, I loved this piece. And you are right in that those edges do look like the waves that made it into drift wood. Cracks, burrs, holes and all, it is absolutely perfect. God bless.

    Every time I start my lathe, I hear your voice "mask and face shield on!". Yesterday, the little Walnut bowl I was working on exploded, and I'm so glad I had my face shield on! I was almost finished with it....so just a reminder to all you turners out there....obey the Man. It may save your face. I was able to wood glue the bowl back together and finish it. Sometimes it's a practice piece, but you learn so much. Thank you for your wisdom! And nice bowl!! What a challenge,!

    • @PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop

    By far the best place to spend my relaxing time. While I do enjoy the more "polished" pieces that most people do, and respect their artistry, your style is my absolute favorite. Hearing you talk about the wood is so interesting. I also really like your calm voice and no "cover music". Thank you so much for sharing your talent and love of your craft.

    Have some driftwood and have had a problem with knowledge of turning it. Also have been a little hesitant due to not wanting to mess it up. Well Phil, this has given me both knowledge and confidence on preparing the piece and myself to turn. Thanks Phil. You help people n different ways and you don’t even know it. Keep up the great work and info you generously provide.

    Phil Anderson and his amazing sand-o-flex! I have to say that you’re one of my RUclips woodworking idols . You always seem to know where and how to mount these natural pieces to bring out the best in them. This piece is simply amazing, thank you!
    I think that the Sand-o-flex is going to be the next tool that I’m going to invest in. Your the only turner that I’ve seen use it on RUclips, but you can’t argue with results.

    • @PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop
      @PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop  3 года назад

      Wow, thanks, John! 😊
      I often say, if I didn't have a Sand O Flex I would not turn the pieces I do. I don't know any other way to sand the oddities I encounter in the wood I turn.

  • @charlesball8872
    @charlesball8872 3 года назад +4

    I think I may you figured out, Mr Phil! I have come to believe that you truly enjoy the challenge of turning the unusual pieces that everybody else doesn’t see the potential of! Couple that with your obvious talent to “think outside the box” , so to speak, is a winning combo. That piece would be a magnificent addition in the entryway of someone’s home to collect keys and other miscellany! Well done!

    • @PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop

    Thank you for some sweet memories! My late father took up woodworking when he retired, and built some fine furniture. I loved watching him use his lathe to turn legs for furniture. I started laughing when you attached the plate with only two screws. Dad was always adjusting and making do in a pinch, and consequently, he always had a bandaid or two on his fingers. Thank you again, and for Pete’s sake, be careful😉

    • @PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop
