To all the readers of these comments, I wish to propose a toast to Phil Anderson, the man whose bark is always better than his bite. If you wish to join me in this toast it should be done with prune juice, served in a bowl with a knot hole, worm holes or missing bark inclusion in the lower half of the bowl. So ladies and gentlemen drink fast. Phil, you're the man. Keep up the great work.
Howdy Phil what a beautiful piece , so much is going on..... Type of peace every time you look at it will see something different that finish you put on it really makes it look so nice I too like the way that Branch came out gives it more to look at see different things , first thing came into my mind , probably cuz I'm hungry right now , is spaghetti ...LOL I can see a cow's skeleton head on the bottom beautiful piece Phil keep on turnin'
And once again Phil, you took a piece of wood that most people would see as firewood, threw it on your lathe and ended up with an absolutely beautiful bowl! My hat is off to you sir! Be safe and stay healthy my friend.
Phil, You have a great eye for turning something what I used to consider wood for the fire pit. I really like how you guide us through your turning process. You do such a great job explaining how you see and do the turnings. Thank you and God bless you.🙂
I shared this to my machinist hubby😉. I love it and with No disrespect at all....your comment made me sing the old Sesame street song...There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza...🤣 You're great and I love the piece!👍😁💕
Ahhh, now I understand, thank you! I'm way to old for the Sesame Street reference, I was thinking the Ricky Nelson version of the song, My Bucket's Got a Hole in it but you are probably too young for that! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Ya I don't know the song you're referring to but here is the Sesame street one. It's hilarious 🤣 ruclips.net/video/zYY6Q4nRTS4/видео.html
Lord have mercy am a beginner at wood turning but my lord you are one of the BEST I have seen on you tube. My hat is off to you sir. I’m am learning so much from your videos
Glad to know this, Brandon! I do like to turn a little bit different than some others. Just something to consider as you begin your own journey into turning. Enjoy whatever you do! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I am a welder millwright by trade so I can’t put much time into it as I would like to but I get a lot of compliments on what I have done but to me it’s never good enough I guess it’s because I k where all the imperfections are. I am definitely my own worst critic. I guess my biggest obstacles are my finishes. Do you have any videos in particular that I could watch specifically to finishes that you would recommend.? Any and all advice is welcome. Hope you have a good even Mr. Phil
Doesn't get any more interesting than a piece like that. I scored 2 sumac trees last week from the burn pile on my sister's property. Rootballs and all except for branches. Wood has a gold tone. Still green but sealed and stored. When I bought my first lathe 38 years ago I used to scrounge branches from state parks and sumac was one of the first pieces I turned. Didn't really make anything just happy to be turning. Everything became a candle holder. Always recalled the gold toned wood.
I went back in time and saw this piece before you turned it. I know it would be nice. Very unique but beautiful bowl!! Those crotches with branches are my favorite to turn. They are a rough ride to the end, but the results is amazing. Awesome piece Phil...Thank you
Hello Phil, I have watched your videos for a long time. I really like what you do. I gave away both my wood lathes a while back because I was tired of spindle turning. You have made me want to get another lathe. I don't have a lot of room so I am looking for one with a shorter bed and a wider swing. As far as I am, concerned you have the best turning videos on RUclips. You and I are about the same age, I turn 72 late last year. I was very sorry to learn about your spouse's passing away. Hang in there. I need you to get me started & keep me going. I live in eastern Kansas. We have some interesting wood. A lot of sycamore, red & white oak, eastern red bud & Bois D'Arc (also known Osage Orange & Hedge), mulberry, maple, ash & various fruit wood. Don B.
Howdy, Don! I'm happy you are considering getting back into turning and trying some bowls. When I was 69 I posed the question "am I too old to buy a new lathe?" The response was overwhelmingly, "go for it!" I'm so glad I did! My turning and my viewers are what get me out of bed in the morning. You just have to have a hobby to keep busy and keep the mind working, I think. Sounds like you have a great selection of potential turning stock. Go for it! Merry and Happy to you and yours, Don! 😊
I just caught you fought cancer like me, I started watching you because and through mine. Thank you for being there for me. Funny ha, you there for me, me there for you. I’m excellent hope you are too.
I’d like to echo someone said it’s like you’re dad or uncle showing you how, not only do I love your turning I like you’re commentary Phil that’s a skill on its own to captivate and ordinance there’s not many videos I can watch full term but yours gets me hooked thanks
I freaking love this bowl. Especially that big ol' hole. And every other single aspect which makes it unique. I could picture this on my coffee table in a place of honor.
This piece has a lot to say. Everywhere you look there's something to admire. Again you did a wonderful job of helping it come alive. Thanks for sharing. Take care. 😊
I bought those sanders, they are life savers. They are real good with the deeper bowls and vases that nothing else fits in. Thanks to you and Tuffy for them. E.T. with a gas mask! I do love the strange wood that you get to turn, the sumac I'm familiar with here in Portland are kind of short and skinny.
Hi Phil. Once again you have reached deep inside a piece of firewood and turned out a beautiful work of art. No sweeteners, MSG, or colorants of any kind. LOL Especially no resins to fill voids. I don't see much point in using a nice but small piece of burl then add 10 gallons of resin and turn away all but a bare glimpse of the burl leaving a nicely turned chunk of colorful resin. When you turn a piece I can see the natural imperfections and see how you found a face or an ear or even a stogie. LOL. I look forward to seeing more of your magical works of art. Also, thanks for the lessons. Bill Riley
I turned some wet sumac last year. Came out lovely but stank and the amount of sticky sap that came out of it was outrageous! Good work as always Phil!
Haha. Thank you, Bill! The truth is, I seldom even look at stuff like that. I was just recently surprised at the number of subscribers. I'm just doing this for fun and to share with my valued subscribers. I can't please everyone. 😊
It's both robust and delicate, sturdy and slender. Fantastic. Thank you to Dan for sending the wood and to you for creating the bowl and sharing. See you soon.
Just a quick comment to let you know how much I (and my kids) enjoy your videos. Personally, I find them relaxing to watch and I'm always interested to see the finished piece. I hope you're well, best wishes from across the pond in rainy Manchester, UK.
I appreciate that, Oliver! It's not what most people think of when they think of work coming from a lathe. For me, it's just about the only way I think of turnings. I do agree, it takes a little getting used to and I appreciate that you stuck with me long enough to see it, too! 😊
Ah, but that dreariness (we have it here, too) is what leads to those green Scottish hillsides. I'm glad I could bring just a bit of sunshine into your day, Kevin, thank you!
The inside looked like a Van Gogh painting! Its a cool piece! I got lucky yesterday and scored a 3 foot long section of a plum tree! It's only 5-6" around but it looks like it will be pretty colorful. See you in the next one Phil
darn this would have been a Wonderful birthday present but you were 3 days to late . Plus l didn't have my computer till a year after. lol it is beautiful. as most of your pieces are. What am l saying they are all worthy of being on display.. Thank you Phil.
Good Imagination Phil

Glad you like it, thank you! 😊
Another gorgeous piece.
Thanks Phil
Thanks for watching, Stan! 😊
Yes, it is an interesting piece! The void doesn't detract at all from the shape of it. Nice one!

Thank you very much, Kevin! 😃
It's so cool as you said. The inside looks like a smile to me.
It does! 😊
Absolutely stunning. Love it. 💜💜💜💜
So glad, thank you, J'Lyssa!
