Phil, very nice turning! Thanks for sharing!
😊
Thats looks beautiful.You cant beat Ceder.
😊
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening… howdeee! I think this one turned out really nice. The natural edge is really interesting and I love the color.
Cool, thanks, Ryan! 😊
Great work Phil. Thanks for sharing with us 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it, Glenn, thank you! 😊
Hi Phil this Red Cedar is fantastic I love the way the wood has the red/pink hard wood in the middle it really shines. I believe taking the bark of and just having the beautiful grain showing was a reaĺy good idea. I really love the banana bowl it is magnificent, thank you for a fabulous video. Amanda xx
Thank you very much, Amanda! 😄 I'm glad you agree about the bark!
Very nice piece Phil, pretty piece of cedar.
Thank you kindly 😊
That turned out beautiful, Phil!
Thank you, Billy! 😊
I love red cedar, it's such a beautiful wood, Love your live edge bowls and the natural edge bowls very lovely work
Thank you! 😊
What a beautiful bowl. Love the redwood. Hope indeed for you to get the 70 degrees.
Again an absolutely gorgeous bowl. Love it.
Thanks! We got the 70° but now it's cool and raining! 😊
I love making banana bowls. This was fun, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Hi Phil, lovely colour in that wood. I think we would call it a blow torch.
Thanks, Ian! 😊
Another great piece of work ❤️👍
Thank you so much 😀
Yep I like it Phil ! as always a fun turning ! ! !
😊
Another beautiful bowl.
😀
In the nic of time - I was missing your videos
😊
I always enjoy youre commentary during the turning and the beautiful work you do
Thank you! Cheers! 😄
I call it a blowtorch, nice bowl as expected
😊
I also love the indentations❣️
Cool, thanks! 😊
Love turning cedar. I have a lot of nice pieces to turn when I finish some production jobs. Love the smell! I usually make some sachets to give away. I think you made some for your wife years ago. Nice banana bowl! 😊
Thank you, Baydon! Yes I did! 😊
Hey Phil. The coloring of that wood is amazing. I love watching you turn nothing into something. 😊😊
Thanks a bunch 😊
Bea-utiful result, Phil! Good that you got rid of the bark on this piece. Red cedar is a lovely wood, full of colour and character.
Thanks, Richard! 😊
A torch is a flash light and thingy with flames coming out the end is a blow torch lol, nice bowl.
Thanks, Neil! 😊
Phil, I forgot to say how much I enjoyed the new camera angles too, made a nice change to see you at work. 👍😊
Thank you, Jude! 😊
WOW!!! That’s just beautiful and I’m glad you let the bark go because cedar doesn’t have pretty bark to begin with (in my opinion) but you made the bowl as prettier as I’ve ever seen! Thank you for sharing. I always look forward to your projects. God bless you! Barbara
Thank you so much, Barbara! 😊
Morning Phil, I'm bright and early today, started watching at 6am, that's more like it. Cuppa tea in bed watching Phil make something beautiful, happy days.🤗
I just paused to say that it's just occurred to me your workshop would be the ideal candidate for infrared heating, far IR panels or perhaps even an outdoor type visible infrared stand heater. I've been researching it for my home and I've discovered it works well in larger spaces because it doesn't heat the air first to get you warm it warms you first: like the sun without the UV rays. I don't know if anywhere in your neck of the woods manufactures them, we have locally made panels here in the UK, they come with smart controllers which make them easy to use and cheaper to run than you'd expect. Of course they are silent and require no maintenance. Suspended from the ceiling they will heat the whole room if sized correctly, (they use them in churches, Fully Charged/Everything Electric Show just reviewed Herschel's Halo heaters designed to blend in with church architecture, they're beautiful!) or you can put them on a wall or get them on a stand to warm a smaller area, but ceiling suspension is most effective and they're not that expensive, here at least.
Ok, back to the video.👍
Ha ha, yes it's obviously a flame -thrower! I'll have a think and a look through the comments to see if anyone else can remember what we call it!😅
Well I never thought I'd say it but the natural edge was much better than a live edge on this one Phil, that bark was a bit furry eh?! So pleased you managed to get that beautiful wood to shine, must have been a lot of work I'm sure. Definitely did it justice though, another gorgeous piece. 👍😊
Over here, Costco sells an infrared heater but, it's portable and kind of large. I just don't have room for it. Ceiling hung might worked. My shop has no insulation and lots of gaps in the doors and the unfinished ceiling where the bird blocks let in lots of fresh air. None of it is really practical. When we moved in here, the shop was completely empty. I knew that was my one and only chance to seal it all up but, I couldn't wait to get my shop all set up, so, here I am! 😊 Thank you, Jude!
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshopyeah you really need the good quality ones with the suspension kit and the smart controllers to make it worth while. The ones they sell in places like Costco can be a false economy as they're not always the correct power for your space. The drafts don't matter so much if you can size the panels right and place them in an ideal position. There are guides on the websites as to the best size and power rating for your room depending on it's cubic feet and amount of insulation. Which in your case is definitely none because you just could wait to get to turning and who can blame you! Cheers Phil, see you next time. 😊👍
Wow what a colour and you got a really nice finish on it. Looks really good, well done
Thanks, Bruno! 😊
In New Zealand, a torch has batteries, or if it burns, it's a gas torch, flame torch, or flame gun. Love your cedar bowl, and i love the smell of cedar when I'm turning it.
Thank you, Denise! 😊
Looks great love the coloration 👍👍
😊
Beautiful piece mate!
😊
Lovely banana bowl. As usual I love everything about it. Send some of your warm weather my way. Only 60 here.❤
Yeah, the good weather is gone, raining, now! Dang it! 😊
Well done! I have some cedar logs; I believe I'm inspired to do a "banana bowl".
Yay! Have fun, Jack! 😊
Amazing contrast of colours, very well done Phil, we call them a Blow Torch, comes with a disposable gas can that screws on about the size of a spray paint can, very handy. Another great video thanks.
All the best to you.
Regards Jim
Thank you, Jim! 😊
Beautiful piece! I love the color. I bet turning the cedar smelled really good.
Thank you, Tubie! 😊
You tuned a beautiful banana bowl, it turned out just gorges. I have a lot of experience turning red cedar. Depending what you are turning, bark or barkless, there is some hidden beauty under the bark. The bark leaves a grain stain underneath that a lot of times make the project pop. Here in Jefferson City Missouri, most of our forest is just THICK with Red Cedar and we dont have a lot of other woods to chose from to turn. Since you a root/bowl turner, the red, white and burl like grain pattern in the bottom of the bowl can be spectacular. The multi different colors and wild grain patterns blend themselves and are indescribable!!!! I haven't tried to burn the top of the bowl where the bark was. I had another SENIOR MOMENT and didn't even think about that method. Leave it to you to suggest that, that is why I ( LOVE) your channel, I learn some thing every time I watch your video. KEEP ON TURNING ❤
Thank you so much for your great comment! 😊
Thank You Phil, Thank You John Fergerson... I liked the camera shoulder view Phil, a little different angle...Torch?, yea a torch. That thing that lights up and Brit's keep in the boot or the car, right ? (I love it, so different) ha. Culinary supply stuff uses mini torches for Creme Brulé's. I think they use it to carnalize the top of the deserts?...Nice turning today Phil & as always I look forward to your next adventure...Boy that before & after pictures at the end is quite different.... TM
Tuffy is back! I do have one of those kitchen torches, I just don't think they have enough heat to burn wood, efficiently. But, now I know what to search for! 😊
Red cedar is my favorite wood! The bowl is exquisite! Gave me a warm smile on a stressful day! Thank you Phil!!
Thank you, PH! 😊
Oh! I love the color! Shure wish I had smellOvison! I live not too far from the Sequoia National Forrest. I love going into the gift shop just to smell the wood!
Ah, yes, I know just what you mean, Kristi! 😊
Gorgeous wood, and a shape which really shows it off. Beautiful piece!
Thanks to John for sending this for all to enjoy! (it's fun, ain't it?) 👍
It sure is. Phil did a far better job than I did. This is a tough species to work with, but I enjoy the challenge! Cheers!
Thank you, Dave! 😊
Absolutely a wonderful contrast of colour against yellow bananas🤪👏👏👏👏👏💕🇬🇧
Yeah, I should have put a banana in it! 😊
Great bowl. We call them a blow torch.
Thanks, Gary! 😊
Glad you let the bark go looks much better without it, love the way the natural contrasting colours compliment each other, the shape reminds me of weighing scales bowls they used to have in sweet shops. Good job Phil. 😁
Cool, thanks, Lewis! 😊
A beautiful little Red Cedar, yeller`nanner bowl. How nice Phil!
Thank you! 😊
Another triumph, thank you for allowing us to enjoy your production, again. It is just as well that we 'Brits' do not take offence too readily at remarks made by 'Colonials', perhaps because we are well used to receiving them! Winston Churchill, who was half American, once said that Britain and America were two countries divided by a common language, your experience goes to prove his point. I look forward to enjoying future productions, they are always great experiences.
Thanks for your delightful comment, Owen! 😊
Very pretty coloration, that kind of looks like a plum color on my screen, but whatever it would be named the word pretty would be attached! I was curious to see how cedar would polish up, now I know. Another thing I know is if I had to do it, it wouldn't be as nice Phil. You're in a class by yourself. Thank you for the video, take care friend, Rick.
Thank you so much, Rick! 😊
Hi Phil,
Another lovely bowl - you're an inspiration to say the least !!
Us Brits like to say "blow-torch" !
Make of that what you will😮
Rothenberger is the make to get if you wish.
Apologies for the emoji 🙈
All the best
Howard
Thanks, Howard! 😊
I love Red Cedar. Nice smelling and closets lined with it are naturally moth protected. You did your usual great job of bringing out the beauty of the wood.
Thanks so much, Harvey! 😊
Last summer I had a 4 foot piece of cedar wash up on our shore of the Raquette River. I tried turning a bowl from a piece of it but I had trouble with end grain. IIt was kind of punky, I set it aside to dry. Thanks to you I have decided to give it another whirl.
Yay, have fun with it! 😊
Red Cedar soft wood nice finish. Like working with Red Cedar. Nice bowl! Thanks Phil. Dan
Thanks, Dan! 😊
We have lots of red cedar in eastern Kentucky. Most of the Appalachian uses are much more rustic. Very nice to see a more sophisticated artistic approach as you have here. The rustic pieces are great also, not to take anything away from the regional artists.
Yeah, I get it, looks great both ways! Versatility is a good thing! 😊
Hello Phil from Richard in Portsmouth England, great video as always. To answer your question....in merry old England we call a flashlight a torch, and what you may call a torch we would call a blow torch.
Thanks, Richard! 😊
My favorite cedar are pieces that had branches. The graining with the color is absolutely gorgeous. I try but I am pretty inept at using a bowl gouge larger than 3/8" for smoothing sides or the bottom, although going small seems to help a lot. I got so frustrated I decided to try a 1" left hand bowl scraper and a 3/4" round/side cut scraper and am very happy with the results. Another beautiful bowl Phil!
I'm glad you worked out a solution, Morton! 😊
Your fans recognize this beautiful cedar by different names depending on their area. I found that interesting but mostly as soon as you began turning and the colors appeared I just knew your results would be amazing. 🤩
Thank you, Betsy! 😊
Great job Phil, Eastern Red Cedar sometimes known as aromatic Cedar. I like to carve in it. I found I like to finish it with bees wax/ buffed.
😊
Gorgeous! Love the Banana Bowl!
Thank you, Colleen! 😊
I love turning cedar. You did a great job of bringing out the color and contrast between the heart wood and sap wood. Great piece. I hope you kept the shavings and used them as a sachet in your underwear drawer! LOL
Thank you very much, Tom! 😊
I love turning eastern red cedar, too. It doesn’t take much to get spectacular results as you just showed.
Thanks, Tim! 😊
Looks great 👍
I’ve turned a lot of red cedar, and it can be difficult. Like you said, it’s very soft and porous. Can’t do anything with that shredded paper like bark. The sapwood is too much like pine, and cracks so easily. Smells great, but the dust from cedar is a pain too. Sticks to everything like powdered sugar.
But all that said, the heartwood is very pretty…and in the end, it’s always worth it. I’ve found to get a good shine go from the sanding sealer to something like Acks. Once the wax is on there, it really pops. You lose the smell, except for the bottom after removing the tenon. I use walnut oil for that part. Blends in well, and saves the wonderful cedar smell in at least that part of the project.
Anyhow, wrote too much 😂
Thanks a lot, John! 😊
The banana bowl is so beautiful! Love how the grain really shows through. I enjoy watching your videos Phill.
Thank you so much, Mary! 😊
Lovely bowl, that has very nice color, red cedar has some beautiful colors, well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thanks, Al! 😊
I wasn't sold on the cedar to start with, but this one grew on me as it progressed. This turned out really nicely. The finish is amazing, and the natural two-tone colors are quite striking.
Thank you, Pilgrim! 😊
Phil
Really beautiful.
Also love aroma that Red Cedar gives off.
John
Thanks, John! 😊
Real eye popping red. Beautiful.
😊
In England it is called a blow lamp. Used for decorating stripping paint etc. great video by the way.
Thanks, Hugh! 😊
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
Another great peice of workmanship,thanks for your Inspiration Phil.
Thanks, Bernie! 😊
What you call a torch is a blow torch in UK.. loved this turn.
😊
Phil, you get a nice tight flame with a butane creme brulee torch or a jet-flame style lighter.
Thanks, Anthony! 😊
It's a blowtorch Phil! Looking good, you've been my main inspiration since I started turning 3 years ago, love your stuff 😊
Cool, thanks 😊
That's gorgeous Phil. Deffo for bananas. Love it.
Thanks, Sue! 😊
Phil , what a fine banana bowl ! These fun little project a great once in awhile . I enjoyed your video . Have a great weekend .
Thanks, Jon, you too! 😊
Phil. Beautiful banana bowl. I like the two colors. By the way am surrounded by banana plants here in Ecuador. I'll be back to Minnesota in a few weeks
Ohhh, fresh bananas! Yum! 😊
I truly love red cedar. Very nice finish .
Cool, thanks, Steve! 😊
I love working with this wood. I have several pieces around the house, and I love giving them away as gifts. Great job on the finish.
😊
Lovely bowl Phil, our almond tree wood gives a very similar colouration. I'd go with the butane blow torch as well. I have one and use it on wood, epoxy and to melt the sugar on creme brulee's. Really versatile and available in kitchen appliances!
Cool, thanks 😊
Very pretty piece. I love cedar, mainly because of the aroma but also love the color. Never been a huge fan of the bark though; so right choice in doing away with that. Wish I had "Smell-a-vision" so I could have experienced the cedar smell.
Sounds like you weather is about as changeable as ours here in KY.
Love the coming of spring though.
Yay spring! 😊 Except, the warm passed and now it's cool and rainy!
So very nice
Glad you like it, Luie! 😊
Hey Phil, I've turned alot of Cedar but never the red, something special isn't it? Well done, lovely piece.
Thanks, Michael! 😊
Nice one Phil! I do love the colour and shape. It would look amazing on a mantle or side table. I bought a mini butane blow torch from Lee Valley a couple of years ago. Works great and self igniting. Cheers, Rick
Yeah, I've been looking at the mini's. So much progress the last few years! 😊
Phil - Beautiful piece, as always. Super stoked you picked this one, and I am truly sorry the bark didn’t work out well for you - I should have stabilized it! Thank you for the great teachings and your kind-hearted soul.
Thank you so much, John! 😊 I actually prefer it without the bark. Looks great to me!
I agree. Looks great without it!
Love your banana bowl Phil. Nice finesse on the tenon, thank Phil....Dan
Thanks, Dan! 😊
Hi Phil, I really like that you let us know the speed your turning at. I have a lathe. Haven't gotten on it yet. I have read books, watched videos and I have thought on it alot. I just haven't worked up the nerve yet. I will though when the feeling is right. I've bought everything including a steady rest. I am ready!!
Watching hundreds of videos for hundreds of hours is how I learned to turn, Joanne. They really help! But, yeah, sooner or later you are just going to have to start! 😊
I know you know best! I like the look of the tenon. It gives an additional dimension. I always like your creations and the tenons :)
Awesome, thank you! 😊
I love turning cedar, very pretty, turns easy but I have had trouble with the finish also. I worried about putting too much shellac, maybe I didn't do enough. Used a lot of ca on the bark to keep it on. I love the result, you took it from a nice piece of ugly firewood to beautiful.
I just apply the shellac until it won't take any more. Nothing would have kept this bark on, there was only a tiny piece at the end that I just flicked away. Thank you, Brad! 😊
Gorgeous phill just bought a torch asked for gas bottle to go whith it😂 uk
Haha, cool, thanks! 😊
Red cedar reminds me of my childhood home. We had 3 beautiful tall ones in our yard. Sadly shortly after my dad passed the trees came down in an ice storm.
Oh, that's a shame!
Nice work Phil. Love cedar for the grain it has.n
You might want to try mini butane torch, instead of just torch in your online search.
I'm on it, Paul, thank you! 😊
Hi 👋, Phil, what is burning, 🔥, A small gas torch for soldering copper pipe, and if you want to go the other way, roofing gas torch, or weeding gets torch, might find these a bit too big, you’ll end up burning your place down, I have a roofing torch, it does a lovely job of getting rid of weeds, . Had problems this evening. Sorry it’s morning, couldn’t sleep very well, so I got up around 3 o’clock in the morning and started watching your program, I know, had a problem, the au pair girl 🧒 😂 and obviously been cleaning my hi-fi equipment, I had no sound, it appears the mute button had been pressed, silly, Billy, 😂, and yes, I listen to my RUclips through my hi-fi equipment,
As per usual, the bowl looks amazing, that was definitely a lot of signing sealer and shellac to get a finish on it, but as we know you’ll get there on the end, And I have made a bit of progress with my workshop come garage, I’ve now got the DPM down, getting ready to lay concrete. Might be doing it this coming week, Keep up the great work. Stay safe.,
This all sounds great, I know you are looking forward to it! 😊
Propane torch Phil. Cedar is beautiful but is very porus an break real easy. We have it everywhere here in Oklahoma.
😊
Phil the banana Turned out just lovely, shame about the grey in the sap wood, over here in Scotland we call them blow torch, great job buddy well done.
Thanks, Alan! 😊
so pretty.
Thank you! 😊
Brilliant Phil .
Personally I'd call it a blow torch or plumbers torch . A standard torch over here is , as you said , a flashlight over there . 😂
Thanks, Jim! 😊
if you search for blow torch for catering you should be able to get a small hand held one that chefs use for sprucing up there dishes,
Thanks, Nigel! 😊
Truly beautiful colours there Maestro. What a stunning piece. I've never been successful in keeping the bark on cedar, it's too soft and fiberous. Ooo I bet your workshop was smelling nice after that. I love and hate cedar... I love the aroma, I hate the resulting rash all over my arms...
You made the right call with not burning the outside. Cedar is so soft, when you burn it, you end up with the grain darkening, but the softer wood between just kinda disappears.... oh, and it's a "blow torch". ;) It can be pretty cool though! Especially if you take a wire brush to it afterwards to really knock out the soft wood and leave the raised grain...
Keep rocking, sir. :)
Jay
Thanks for the tips, Jay! 😊
Hi Phil Not sure how you would ever keep the bark on Eastern Red Cedar. Live trees can be stripped from top to bottom in long sheets. We have lots in South Western Ontario sometimes called Juniper. Beautiful natural edge "banana bowl" love the colour.
Take care Bob
Thank you, Bob! 😊
Beautiful piece Phil! Was just thinking when ya was talking about that center as you were getting it finished up, would look pretty cool with one of those brass ships wheel nutcrackers on it!😎
Great idea, Kimsey! Oh, too late! LOL! Thanks, buddy! 😊
Beautiful looking bowl Phil. I myself have turned tons of red cedar, very seldom does the bark stay on. Personally I think it looks better without it. Thanks for sharing and take care.
😊
It’s a blow torch 😊😊 normal torch is a battery powered flashlight and a blowtorch is the gas powered flame one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks! 😊
Доброго времени суток Фил. Как всегда, отличная работа. Но, я подумал, абсолютно одинаковых изделий быть не может. Даже если структура дерева одинакова, то расположение рисунка древесины идентичным быть не может. Отличная работа. Спасибо за видео.
Вы абсолютно правы! Спасибо за просмотр и комментарий! 😊
🙋♂️🏴 Hi Phil beautiful bowl once again the colour of the heart wood is amazing. Being from Wales I would call anything that breathes out flames a dragon, see the Welsh flag 🐉🐲. LOL But in all seriousness it would be called a blow lamp or blow torch, a hand lamp for illumination would just be called a torch. All the best Phil hope it warms up for you soon.
Wow, thank you, John, for all the info! 😊
Thanks for the video Phil. I love the colors. I too want a little hand torch. I haven't bought one yet but I've seen them used on a cooking channel. It has a little nozzle, fits in the hand and uses small butane containers that look to be about 3 inches round and about 6inches tall. Not sure if that's what kind of torch you're looking for but I'm a wood carver and I think it would work for burning off fuzzies without over burning. Like I said I haven't bought one so no recommendations on brand it's just on my wish list. 😂. Have A Great Rest of the week. Be safe and be well
Thanks, Linda! I do have one of those small kitchen torches for creme brule'. I don't think it would be powerful enough to burn wood efficiently. But, I have a good idea of what to look for now thanks to all these helpful comments! 😊
