Hi Phil, you are so right; the first thing my Wife does when I bring a newly turned bowl in to the house to show her, is to pick it up, turn it in her hands, feel it (and smell it); so, touch and texture first, smell second, sight and how it looks third. The irony is, that whilst she appreciates the work required to get the bark on a natural edge bowl smoothed to the touch, she actually prefers 'round' to look at. Oh well, I will keep making natural edge until I convert her!
Beautiful piece of wood. Those people who say “There’s too much good wood to fool around with crumby wood” really don’t know what they are missing. I agree with turning it with a live edge, but I think I would have gone with a round live edge. What you turned is a great looking piece. Well done for sure. Thanks for sharing.
I know, I cringe whenever I hear that, Doug! Another guy posted a picture of a piece of wood with TINY cracks in it and said "too bad, it's a pretty wood but not safe." I don't get it!😀
Good morning Phil. I pick up ideas from each of your videos, and, of course, Gary’s too, and try to emulate your outstanding talent . I prefer delicate bowls while my wife likes them to be chunky. Some like live edges and others don’t. I don’t understand why anyone would criticise as we all have different tastes. Please just keep doing what you do for ALL to enjoy 🌞
Well for what it's worth I like the live edge bowl. The bark gives character to the wood. Live edge bowls give you a complete picture of what mother nature wanted you to see. Thanks for sharing your talents and have a great weekend. (Pet your sweet furbaby for me. I sure do miss mine.) 🙂
I love that line, Mary: "Live edge bowls give you a complete picture of what mother nature wanted you to see." That is what I'm always trying to convey. Thank you!😀
Hello Phil, it seems that we learn something new with each video. For instance, I had been unaware that band saws required alignment: I thought you just used them until the blade needed replaced. I also learned that even if a piece of wood looks like it 'does' belong in the firewood stack - Phil can still make a piece of art with it. (My mother says, 'beautiful art'.) Also, I learned that the warm, rich colors of cherry wood are right there in the wood. Thanks again to you for the video, and to Tuffy Marginez for sending you a 'challenge piece', which inspired you to create art from firewood.
Thank you so much, Deirdre! I'm still learning stuff every day, too! Today it was, how to fall down the stairs without spilling my coffee! Who knows what tomorrow may bring! 😀
Good evening, Phil. I agree with not shimming to drill the recess for the woodworm screw. Also like leaving more bark on by turning a square bowl. You can say, we agree. If you look at it long enough, an idea come to mind. Absolutly. Beautiful piece.
Thank You Phil.... I do remember that piece of Plum. It was four foot long, hollow, laying in the gutter waiting for the garbage folks to pick it up (me, ha). Very solid wood for what's left and I sent you the thickest piece. The inside was just gone and that is what killed the tree? That old Plum Tree spent it's life on top of the Berkeley hills looking directly out the Golden Gate loving the cool foggy/sunny weather. There were actually 2 equal pieces and I gifted half to a furniture maker in Berkeley. I sure like it when you turn throw-a-way wood and create something to be cherished for others to enjoy long after you decide to stop woodturning. That bark is wonderful along with the colorful wood. Totally a winner and thanks again for turning that lonely, lost trunk waiting for the garbage truck. TM
You amaze me with your beautiful relationship you have with the wood. Just the way you touch the surface is artistic and sensual Phil. I can vicariously feel the finish and live edges. Thanks for sharing your discoveries. That is art-discovery! Today has been the third day of 95 plus temperatures and dry!
The live-edge square is infinitely more interesting. Natural, organic, great use of available material, etc. Love the way you use outside-the-box starters to create unique pieces. (I shudder to think that could have wound up in a woodstove!)
Hey bud this is why l love your chanel you do not just make a bowl you set a challenge then create some thing stunning thank you for sharing your great vids
I prefer a high and low points. I agree no to round. You did a great job saving all the bark! Love the purple in the grain. No questions today's turning was much more interesting .
VERY unique design for sure. This is NOT something I see all over the internet. I really like it too, as you said I would! The color is truly beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, Phil, the bowl with the bark is more interesting than the other, also beautiful, bowl. I have adopted some of your ways, and turn more irregularly shaped bowls than the more staid variety. I enjoy the challenge!😂
Phil, it would be a pretty boring old world if everyone thought the same way. Diversity makes life interesting! I really like your idea of how bowls should look, but I also have a love of round bowls made with beautiful wood and fine craftsmanship. Your plum bowl is beautiful in its unique way and deserves all the admiration! Keep em coming 😊. Cheers, Rick
I love it, Phil. I have only had the opportunity to turn plum once, and it was a great pleasure to turn. There is really no comparison between those two bowls you showed at the end. This one is infinitely more beautiful!! Thanks for sharing. All the best, …..Gord
Another pretty piece…didn’t see any “critters”, but while it was revolving at the end, I thought the inside looked like mountains against a dark night sky…very nice work as usual Phil…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Phil the plum wood is beautiful I love the colour and the grain is lovely, the bark is wonderful. I really like how you allow the wood to guide you into what its to become. This is a magnificent bowl and a real piece of art. Thank you for your humour and commentary it is good,the video was awesome. Take care of yourself from Amanda xx❤❤
I think it is an outstanding bowl Phil. You know how I always taught my students to let the piece of wood they we3re working with 'talk' to them & you do this SO WELL my friend. You made all the right moves in cutting this 'odd' piece of wood on the bandsaw to get what was the right shape to work with. The colour & grain of this piece of plum is SO rich & beautifully grained with outstanding bark to highlight the piece. This bowl is right up there with your3 BEST pieces. Congratulations on this one mate. Stay safe, stay well my friend, cheers, Don from South Aust.
I certainly don't have a problem with flat ends. I love how you always respect Mother Nature. Bark is awesome when you can keep it. Possibly a peacock... More like a landscape. It reminds me of Utah (85% national park) somehow. Gorgeous piece, and absolutely my choice for taking a closer look.😊
Preaching patience. What a concept. I have many pieces I keep looking at trying to figure out what to do. I'm sure my wife regards me the same way sometimes.
I like both bowls but especially like the one you turned this time I love the bark to me that’s what makes the bold, gorgeous and unique. What a wonderful job you did Phil thanks for the videos I love watching on.
I was going to say...shim. But I had to watch you struggle thru the flat mounting and trying to turn a gorgeous plum bowl. Who am I to suggest anything but what what you do. And I'll take the odd shapes and bark all day! Well done Phil. You never disappoint. And if you did....keep doing what you do and let us live vicariously thru you and your 5/8ths gouge.
I've been struggling to keep my original concepts, Steve. I get a lot of comments about how I should do it this way or that way. So far, I'm stickin' to my guns! 😀
Hi Phil, the plum bowl is definitely more interesting than the other bowl but i like the smooth bowl for its modern looks. The plum bowl is a coffee table bowl when not being used. The smoother bowl probably in the cabinet when not being used. I appreciate that you mostly use leftover/gifted/firewood pile wood. You do great work.very satisfying to watch. Thanks, Dava
I like it! I also guessed high-low. I see why you say the bowl today is more interesting than the earlier, smoother one, but I can't say which I like better, personally. They're both nice. Thanks for sharing for all to enjoy!
What a beautiful different turning. I think you have turned a very eunique turning. I think bowls are round but this is very different. I wish I could see pieces of wood like you do. Thanks Phil
Phil, you asked what our preference was for how to cut the hole for the chuck jaws, my choice would be whichever you choose. Its your bowl, if you like it having square ends thats great! Its YOUR project, you do it your way. And yes, Id rather hold this latest beauty than a boring round bowl. I love the texture! Thanks, Phil!❤
Flat spots are cool especially when sanded smooth in order to see and feel the grain of the wood. Looking great with that heavy bark. Now 5 sides and a wing is just nuts 🤪 ha. Dennis
You are the Bob Ross of turning bowls. Only happy accidents. Please keep making videos I do enjoy them. I wish I knew you well enough to be able to buy a piece that you turned. Still a life goal.
even. Oh well you did it your way and I love it. Oh and I see an ultrasound image of a wee baby in the center of the finished bowl. I also like the square ends over the round bowl. Cheers
You heard me. I'm believer in bark, irregular sides, and other oddities. Recently I was asked to do a shallow bowl and the outcome was a lot like this one. Her reaction was "can't you make it to look less like a tree". To each his own. Great bowl. Thanks
Beautiful Piece Phil. Happy turning my friend 😊 just celebrated my 51st birthday yesterday. Love the natural pieces. Yeah because I'm always trying to find something different. You are a inspiration for me to do what I do.
Beautiful bowl. You always show how you remove a tenon but never what you do with a recess. Also you don't discuss how you decide which to use. Thanks Bruce
Thank you! 😀 I believe a tenon is stronger and use it most often. I will often use a recess on a thin or small piece. I do have an old video that shows how I remove a recess, Bruce: ruclips.net/video/JFnjpMcND7M/видео.html
Definitely the more interesting one, bark on square ends lopsided one of a kind so much character 😂 but like you said the round one is nice too but you can’t go past the one you just turned there it is amazing. Well done Phil. All the best to you. Regards Jim
No shim no shim. I like the different elevations. The purple color is absolutely gorgeous. I always appreciate when your bowls have a live edge. They have more character. You’re right the world is full of just plain round wood bowls. You can get them every where. You can’t find a live edge one very often. Well done it’s a winner. Thanks for the show. Joel
🙋♂️🏴 Hi Phil the bowl looks really beautiful on the turn table, and I get what you you mean when comparing it to the plain bowl, the bark gives it so much more character. And I would have put the shim under it on the drilling machine, but when you explained what you gained by not shimming it that made complete sense. Thanks Phil see you next time.
Phil, you are amazing. I wouldn't have even burned that piece since it had so little wood in it. That piece is beautifully colored. Who knew bark could be that colorful and rich? I guess I'm plum crack crazy too!

you made the correct choice...low/HIGH...plum loverly!
😀
Pjil, you are a genius at solving the problem of "What to do with a piece of wood?"
Haha, thanks, Carol! 😊
Nice job of letting the wood tell you how to make a bowl
Thanks Phil! Square is so much more interesting
Glad you liked it! 😊
I like the plum one the best. That rugged bark totally makes it something extra special.
😊
Hi Phil, you are so right; the first thing my Wife does when I bring a newly turned bowl in to the house to show her, is to pick it up, turn it in her hands, feel it (and smell it); so, touch and texture first, smell second, sight and how it looks third. The irony is, that whilst she appreciates the work required to get the bark on a natural edge bowl smoothed to the touch, she actually prefers 'round' to look at. Oh well, I will keep making natural edge until I convert her!
Just make her the special round bowls as gifts and make the natural edge for yourself. Win-win, happy wife, happy life! Thanks, David! 😊
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 😊❤
😀
Definitely prefer the "bark on" bowl. Like you said, more interesting. Thanks for sharing!
😀
Phil I glad you never shimmed the piece always good to show nature as is, the bark is just lovely and some nice grain, well done.
Glad you enjoyed it, Alan, thank you! 😊
It is beautiful wood, the grain, the shape. I love the flat ends so you can stand it up. Just a really beautiful piece.
Thank you very much, Jean! 😊
Beautiful piece of wood. Those people who say “There’s too much good wood to fool around with crumby wood” really don’t know what they are missing. I agree with turning it with a live edge, but I think I would have gone with a round live edge. What you turned is a great looking piece. Well done for sure. Thanks for sharing.
I know, I cringe whenever I hear that, Doug! Another guy posted a picture of a piece of wood with TINY cracks in it and said "too bad, it's a pretty wood but not safe." I don't get it!😀
Good morning Phil. I pick up ideas from each of your videos, and, of course, Gary’s too, and try to emulate your outstanding talent . I prefer delicate bowls while my wife likes them to be chunky. Some like live edges and others don’t. I don’t understand why anyone would criticise as we all have different tastes. Please just keep doing what you do for ALL to enjoy 🌞
Thanks, Ray! 😀
I agree with your choice, Phil. Don't overthink it.
😊
Well for what it's worth I like the live edge bowl. The bark gives character to the wood. Live edge bowls give you a complete picture of what mother nature wanted you to see. Thanks for sharing your talents and have a great weekend. (Pet your sweet furbaby for me. I sure do miss mine.) 🙂

square is GREAT ,,,, wonderful job phil ,, keep them coming
😀
I'm glad you didn't even up the thickness. Looks great.
😊
Wow❣️ I just wish I could hold this bowl in my hands and feel it and rest my eyes on it. Stunning!
Thank you, Aranka! 😀

Thank you very much! 😊

@@valeriehenschel1590 I am right there with you Valerie. Most folks seem to not see or appreciate the potential?... TM
Great story, Tuffy! I love knowing the history of a piece! Thank you! 😀
Awesome

I'm a fan of the square ends
Yay! 😀
Beautiful bowl. I love the shape, the bark is magical. 🧡🧡🧡

Woodstove, scary thought, Geezer! 😀
Pretty wood and I love the square ends! Don't stop. Mask and faced shield on!
😀
When I first saw this wood, I thought it was too rotten to be turned. You made something beautiful out of it. Nice job.
Thank you, Glen!😀
Equal ends . Beautiful outcome.!
😀
We both love that bowl! Both bowls are nice, but we prefer the bark covered bowl with the square ends! Awesome!
Good choice! 😀
Hey bud this is why l love your chanel you do not just make a bowl you set a challenge then create some thing stunning thank you for sharing your great vids
Wow, thank you 😊
Really nice, Phil. I think you made the right decision to drill it with the bottom flat and not shimmed.
Bill
Thanks, Bill! 😊
I prefer a high and low points. I agree no to round. You did a great job saving all the bark! Love the purple in the grain. No questions today's turning was much more interesting .
Thanks, Russ! 😀
Great result from an unpromising chunk of wood. Well done Tuffy for seeing the potential.
😀
Beautiful bowel. The one with bark is so interesting! Love your creativity!
Thank you, Anne! 😀
Unique is always more interesting. Love the bowl.
Love the one with bark
Thank you very much! 😀
Well Phil another one for the books. You did a very nice job on that bowl.
😀
Yes Phil. It's gorgeous! You do such a good job!
Thanks so much! 😊
VERY unique design for sure. This is NOT something I see all over the internet. I really like it too, as you said I would! The color is truly beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful! The more challenging pieces are more fun, anyway. I'm so happy to read your comment, Stephanie, thank you! 😊
I'm here! I'm here! NO SHIM
You win! 😊
Very nice. I love the square edge and prefer these live edge bowls instead of the round ones. Can’t wait for your next video. Thanks Phil. Sheryl

Yes! Thank you, Diane! 😀

Hi Phil, the plum bowl is definitely more interesting than the other bowl but i like the smooth bowl for its modern looks. The plum bowl is a coffee table bowl when not being used. The smoother bowl probably in the cabinet when not being used. I appreciate that you mostly use leftover/gifted/firewood pile wood. You do great work.very satisfying to watch. Thanks, Dava
Cool, thanks, Dava! 😀
I like it! I also guessed high-low. I see why you say the bowl today is more interesting than the earlier, smoother one, but I can't say which I like better, personally. They're both nice.

Another gem! I like both bowls but I definitely prefer a live edge and the high side. Asymmetrical is much more interesting to me. Beautiful!

Lovely bowl Phil, I really like the colors of that one and it looks great with the natural edge! Well done and thanks!

Beautiful Piece Phil. Happy turning my friend 😊 just celebrated my 51st birthday yesterday. Love the natural pieces. Yeah because I'm always trying to find something different. You are a inspiration for me to do what I do.
My gosh, Ed, you are still a youngster! Good for you! Happy Birthday and thank you! 😀
Very nice, for a piece of firewood this turned out to be a beautiful piece of live edge bowl.
Thanks, David! 😀
Beautiful bowl. You always show how you remove a tenon but never what you do with a recess. Also you don't discuss how you decide which to use.
Thanks
Bruce
Thank you! 😀 I believe a tenon is stronger and use it most often. I will often use a recess on a thin or small piece.
I do have an old video that shows how I remove a recess, Bruce: ruclips.net/video/JFnjpMcND7M/видео.html
HI PHIL ur rite that one is beautiful. weldone keep them coming.
Thank you, I will, Manjit! 😀
for what its worth i love the grain swirl on the inside of the bowl. and the ending of the vid good job. love you turning videos. danny
Thank you, Danny! 😀
Definitely the more interesting one, bark on square ends lopsided one of a kind so much character 😂 but like you said the round one is nice too but you can’t go past the one you just turned there it is amazing. Well done Phil.
All the best to you.

Thank you, Jim! 😊

No shim no shim. I like the different elevations. The purple color is absolutely gorgeous. I always appreciate when your bowls have a live edge. They have more character. You’re right the world is full of just plain round wood bowls. You can get them every where. You can’t find a live edge one very often. Well done it’s a winner.
