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
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!😀
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
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 🌞
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
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.
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.
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
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!😀
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.
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
We think alike there Phil.. I have many bowls that are unique with holes, cracks, high spots or low spots or blemishes. The more non symmetrical and natural the better.
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! 😀
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!😂
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!)
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…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
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 .
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.
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!❤
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.
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!
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! 😀
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 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!
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 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 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.😊
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
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
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.
Hi there, Phil. Back again to see what you did with the bowl and again I’m not disappointed because it’s great and you’re right that edge with the bark on it looks so much better than the generic round bowl that you find in so many shops but yours really shines and really shows how much work you actually put into them. Fantastic results and look forward very much to seeing what you’re doing next :-)
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
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!
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
Another amazing piece Phil. I have so many of those pre turned pieces that I look at and scratch my head at what to do. You always give me inspiration and ideas. Thanks ❤
🙋♂️🏴 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.
Gorgeous as always! I agree with you about the shape and the bark. I prefer to make pieces with some character, natural beauty, and defects, it just adds to the touchability! I sell more pieces that are "different", I get people to pick up a piece and handle them, while talking about where I got the wood, most of the time they can't put it down. Makes it easier to sell.😂
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
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
Phil as I said before, you are my favorite wood turner. You inspire me to learn to let the wood tell me what it wants to be. Keep on doing what you do. To turn out amazing art in wood. Thank you so much for what you do! Keep explaining what are thinking while turning, it makes so much sense.
I think the square shape , natural edge , and all the inclusions or oddities is what makes the piece interesting n beautiful as well , fantastic work as always Phil!! 🪓🪵🖌️🎨🤘😎🤘
I’m glad you didn’t shim this piece! The less intervention the better. Which is why you are the wood whisperer! Your expertise is just a gift! I Love the color and the bark is amazing. The shape is perfect. This is another uniquely beautiful Phil Anderson work of art. There’s no one like you Phil, you’re simply the best.
There is only one bowl in the whole world that looks like this one, and you turned it. Beautiful work, much nicer than a perfectly round, no bark, no features bowl. Thank you as always for sharing you process. I learn from you with every video!
Eyup Phil. August 23rd 2024 the day we flew home from Turkey. I've just got round to watching this video. Top and bottom don't look like the same piece. A beautiful piece none the less. I'm having radiotherapy now for my cancer but can't wait to get back out in my workshop to do a bit. You certainly keep me going Phil, don't stop creating these works of art.
Live edge every day of the week... When you held up that old rotten log, I thought "what is to become of that" but you made it beautiful as always, beautiful colours hiding inside. As my dad always said "you gotta dig through the dirt to find the gold", now he was talking old reclaimed beams of yellow and pitch pine from the old Belfast ship works, that we then machined up and built handcrafted kitchen from, but I guess the same applies to all forms of woodcraft...👊🏽
Thanks, Ethan! 😀 Interesting story of your dad and kitchen. My dad was a laborer. He brought home old plywood concrete forms. This was in the '50's. Cleaned off the dry concrete and built our kitchen from the ground up.
I think your dad and my dad could have built wonders if their paths had of crossed. 👊🏽 "Reclaimed" had/has it's challenges, but definitely has it's place in preserving the planet....@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop
Доброго времени суток Фил. Я когда увидел заготовку, включил фантазию. И понял, её надо доработать. Когда доработаешь, что-то получится. И Вы о том же сказали. Мне нравится как Вы работаете. Спасибо за видео.
I love it! Love the uncemitry if thats a word lol... love where the wood meets the bark how wigglie it is lol ... I see so much beauty in the imperfections
I am currently turning a natural edge bowl with one high side. I love the way they look, and have done it many times. Now, I will watch the rest of the video. I just got some fresh plum about a month ago, and am eager to try it! I really like the square shape of this one.

I hate seeing wood go to a landfill. Good rescue!
@@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
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Attach a note to the bottom telling the story/history.

Just make her the special round bowls as gifts and make the natural edge for yourself. Win-win, happy wife, happy life! Thanks, David! 😊

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 like the plum one the best. That rugged bark totally makes it something extra special.
😊
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! 😊
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.

Of course you're right. Thanks, Rick! 😊
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! 😀
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! 😊
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.

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! 😊
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 😊
Definitely prefer the "bark on" bowl. Like you said, more interesting. Thanks for sharing!
😀
Phil, this is “simply” beautiful, my favorite in any art is the unusual, not perfectly anything. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Darlene! 😊
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.

All the best,
…..Gord
Thank you, Gord! It's so good to see you, pretty dang regularly! 😀
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!😀
I'm glad you didn't even up the thickness. Looks great.
😊
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!😀
Love how you listen to the wood…another beauty!😊
Thank you very much! 😊
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.
Thank you, Victoria! 😀 Stop by, we'll fix you up!
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
Haha, I think I would have replied "no." 😊
We both love that bowl! Both bowls are nice, but we prefer the bark covered bowl with the square ends! Awesome!
Good choice! 😀
you made the correct choice...low/HIGH...plum loverly!
😀
We think alike there Phil.. I have many bowls that are unique with holes, cracks, high spots or low spots or blemishes. The more non symmetrical and natural the better.
😀
Great result from an unpromising chunk of wood. Well done Tuffy for seeing the potential.
😀
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.

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!)
Woodstove, scary thought, Geezer! 😀
Well Phil another one for the books. You did a very nice job on that bowl.
😀
Thought you started exactly right, saving as much wood as you can... turned out great!
Thank you, I'm glad you like it! 😀
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…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, Loraine! 😀
I agree with your choice, Phil. Don't overthink it.
😊
Beautiful bowel. The one with bark is so interesting! Love your creativity!
Thank you, Anne! 😀

Really nice, Phil. I think you made the right decision to drill it with the bottom flat and not shimmed.
Bill
Thanks, Bill! 😊
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.
LOL! 😀
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
Thank you so much, Sheryl! 😊
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!
Forgot to share that’s in Kentucky.
Thanks, Larry! Try to stay cool! 😀
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 😊❤

Agree, Don. Just the color alone is worth the effort to let this piece show off. Thank you so much, Don! 😀
Your live edge pieces always inspire me. Now if mine could just come close to your artistry!!
Just takes practice, Red! Thank you! 😊
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!
Thank you! 😀
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.

My kinda bowl Phil, love it. The wackier the better as far as I am concerned.
😀
You are looking very well Phil and God has blessed
😀
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.😊
Thank you, Shelley! I did not know that about Utah. Interesting! 😀
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 definitely like the live edge better. I like the shape and that is some pretty plum! Thanks Phil
Glad you like it, Brenda, thank you! 😊
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
Thank you for watching and commenting, Dave! 😀
Hey Phil, thanks for my Thursday night fix....another beauty.....keep 'em coming brother.
I'm on it, Jon!😀
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! 😀
Hi there, Phil. Back again to see what you did with the bowl and again I’m not disappointed because it’s great and you’re right that edge with the bark on it looks so much better than the generic round bowl that you find in so many shops but yours really shines and really shows how much work you actually put into them. Fantastic results and look forward very much to seeing what you’re doing next :-)
Thank you so much, Martin! 😀
And here it's 94 degrees. I would love some 55 degree days here in Louisiana.
I'll bet you would! 😀
Phil, it's amazing!! It reminds me of forest dwellers' table ware! I would love to own a complete set!! Love love love! ❤❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Pretty wood and I love the square ends! Don't stop. Mask and faced shield on!
😀
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.

Haha, leave it to you, Dennis, to make your life hard! 😀
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!
Thank you so much 😀
Ok, now I have to go through my woodpile! A prime example of why you try to keep bark.
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.
Thanks for the show.
Joel
I appreciate your great comment, Joel, thank you! 😀
Wow 😳 that's really pretty wood! Looked kinda like a block of Mudd sitting there at first? Absolutely gorgeous ❤️
Yes! Thank you, Diane! 😀
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!
Thank you, Scott, we agree! 😊
Phil, It is a beautiful bowl. What makes it unique is it's simplicity and having a round bowl in a square body. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Rikk! 😊
I'm a fan of the square ends
Yay! 😀
Another amazing piece Phil. I have so many of those pre turned pieces that I look at and scratch my head at what to do. You always give me inspiration and ideas. Thanks ❤
Wow, thanks, Jim! 😀
🙋♂️🏴 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.
Thanks a lot, John! 😀
Gorgeous as always!
I agree with you about the shape and the bark. I prefer to make pieces with some character, natural beauty, and defects, it just adds to the touchability!
I sell more pieces that are "different", I get people to pick up a piece and handle them, while talking about where I got the wood, most of the time they can't put it down. Makes it easier to sell.😂
Exactly, far more touchable. 😀
Love the way you talk us through it!
So glad, thank you, Judy! 😊
Another beautiful piece...and I love the square sides....we squares gotta stick together...lol
Haha, so right! Wait until next week, Victoria! 😀
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshopI never miss your videos...
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
Cool, thanks, Chris! 😀
Very nice Phil. Very enjoyable video also. Thank you for sharing. See you next week
😀
Very nice, for a piece of firewood this turned out to be a beautiful piece of live edge bowl.
Thanks, David! 😀
Yes Phil. It's gorgeous! You do such a good job!
Thanks so much! 😊
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
Thank you, Jim! 😊
👍 the colour of the plum is beautyful, great...
😀
Unique is always more interesting. Love the bowl.
Love the one with bark
Thank you very much! 😀
Phil as I said before, you are my favorite wood turner. You inspire me to learn to let the wood tell me what it wants to be. Keep on doing what you do. To turn out amazing art in wood. Thank you so much for what you do! Keep explaining what are thinking while turning, it makes so much sense.
This is great, thank you so much, GR! 😀
I’m also in the UK,11.09pm and I’m ready to watch.
You stay up late! Thanks Andy! 😊
I think the square shape , natural edge , and all the inclusions or oddities is what makes the piece interesting n beautiful as well , fantastic work as always Phil!! 🪓🪵🖌️🎨🤘😎🤘
I totally agree! 😀
Equal ends . Beautiful outcome.!
😀
I’m glad you didn’t shim this piece! The less intervention the better. Which is why you are the wood whisperer! Your expertise is just a gift! I Love the color and the bark is amazing. The shape is perfect. This is another uniquely beautiful Phil Anderson work of art. There’s no one like you Phil, you’re simply the best.
Thank you so much, Susanne! 😊
There is only one bowl in the whole world that looks like this one, and you turned it. Beautiful work, much nicer than a perfectly round, no bark, no features bowl. Thank you as always for sharing you process. I learn from you with every video!
Thanks so much, Jim! 😀
Lovely bowl Phil, I really like the colors of that one and it looks great with the natural edge! Well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thanks, Alan! 😀
Both bowls are beautiful. I love your creativity and talent. ❤
Thanks so much 😊
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! 😀
Eyup Phil. August 23rd 2024 the day we flew home from Turkey. I've just got round to watching this video. Top and bottom don't look like the same piece. A beautiful piece none the less. I'm having radiotherapy now for my cancer but can't wait to get back out in my workshop to do a bit. You certainly keep me going Phil, don't stop creating these works of art.
Thank you, Kev! I'll keep at it if you do! 😀
Live edge every day of the week... When you held up that old rotten log, I thought "what is to become of that" but you made it beautiful as always, beautiful colours hiding inside. As my dad always said "you gotta dig through the dirt to find the gold", now he was talking old reclaimed beams of yellow and pitch pine from the old Belfast ship works, that we then machined up and built handcrafted kitchen from, but I guess the same applies to all forms of woodcraft...👊🏽
Thanks, Ethan! 😀 Interesting story of your dad and kitchen. My dad was a laborer. He brought home old plywood concrete forms. This was in the '50's. Cleaned off the dry concrete and built our kitchen from the ground up.
I think your dad and my dad could have built wonders if their paths had of crossed. 👊🏽 "Reclaimed" had/has it's challenges, but definitely has it's place in preserving the planet....@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop
I love all the different colors. Fabulous bowl from a tough piece!
Glad you like it! 😀
Доброго времени суток Фил. Я когда увидел заготовку, включил фантазию. И понял, её надо доработать. Когда доработаешь, что-то получится. И Вы о том же сказали. Мне нравится как Вы работаете. Спасибо за видео.
Вот как это делается! Просто используйте свое воображение, кто знает, что из этого выйдет? 😀
I love it! Love the uncemitry if thats a word lol... love where the wood meets the bark how wigglie it is lol ... I see so much beauty in the imperfections
Excellent, thank you! 😀
Woof! Woof! Bark! Bark! You made the right decisions Phil. To an Old UK resident, you are the Master. Please keep at it.
Thank you, Cliff! 😀
I am currently turning a natural edge bowl with one high side. I love the way they look, and have done it many times. Now, I will watch the rest of the video. I just got some fresh plum about a month ago, and am eager to try it! I really like the square shape of this one.
Thank you, Eileen! Enjoy yours! 😀
Turned out great! It’s always nice to have your videos pop up.
And it's always nice to have you join us, Ryan, thanks! 😀
