Hi Phil, I'm a teacher by occupation, not a woodworker. Your videos are my therapy after a week with students. I look forward to watching them. The students can drive me a little crazy and I am grateful that you invite us into your workshop to watch you work. I love the work that you do and maybe I'll be fortunate enough to be able to do something enjoyable when I retire. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you so much, Wade, for your great comment! 😃
Wade, I taught and I can tell you start turning!!! It's actually very relaxing.
The wood of Royalty turned into a piece any Royal should be proud to own. Great piece Phil.
Thank you, Harvey! 😃
''Isn't that beautiful?' he asks. It sure is, Phil, another lovely piece of work!
Thank you, David! 😃
An absolute masterpiece from most of us. But from Phil, just another day in the wood shop. The style is world class and the end result is absolutely stunning. Kudos to Phil as always. His vision and imagination are both UNBOWLIEVABLE !!
Thank you very much, Jerry! 😃
The KOA wood is the most beautiful wood I’ve seen in my life and replaces my other favorite … walnut! You certainly did this proud! Barbara
It is just beautiful wood, I agree, thank you, Barbara! 😊
We love Koa. What a treasure you were sent! In 2004, we went to Hawaii (3 islands). We shopped for Koa, so hubby could turn at home. It was pricey back then, but we managed to get some pieces and sent them home. He has one precious piece left and can't decide what he wants to do with it. Koa is so pretty and seems to be going the same way Kauri from New Zealand (30,000 yr old wood preserved in bogs and also beautiful. Hugh trees sort of like Giant Sequoias, very tall) is going, rarity, of which he had sent for some, but now hard to get and expensive. So that was some gift you were given. Hubby says Koa is very hard wood, but worth the effort and we both loved how your bowl turned out.
Stunning! 👍💕
Great story, Cheryl! Thank you, I'm glad you like this one! 😃
Oh yeah that is one beautiful Koa bowl with wings Phil. The wood is fantastic but I also think you put one of the best finishes ever on it.
It just makes it all look amazing.
A friend of ours who was from Hawaii is friends with someone who has a shop there and sells Koa. My friend got care package(a box of scraps) sent to me.
Lots of Koa and other wood. Not real big so I made our friend a vessel made from Koa segments. Koa is amazing. I also have two friends with Ukuleles made from Koa.
Your turning has brought back some good memories.
Amazing looking turning my friend,
Gary
Good memories are priceless, Gary so glad I could bring back a few. 😃 I'm so fortunate to have had this opportunity. I bet your Koa segmented vessel was amazing! Thank you so much, my friend! 😃 Hope you are doing well!
Wonderful things can bring wonderful memories and for sure your turning is wonderful
The turning I made for my friend is very special. She ask if I minded if she put pheasant feathers in it. She and her husband who she lots were avid bird hunters. She has it on a beautiful display of things to honor his life. I am proud to have my turning sitting there. It looks beautiful.
Doing ok just waiting on some appointments.
Who would have known that that dusty, fuzzy chunk of wood was hiding all that beauty. Of course it needed your helping hands to bring it forth. I just love your work. ❤😮
I knew what was in there, Betsy but I agree, if someone had never seen a finished piece of Koa, they would be amazed. 😃
I was thinking the same. That grain was amazing.
Hey Phil, you totally out did your self! That is one absolutely beautiful winged bowl. The Koa is absolutely gorgeous!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you kindly, Carl! 😃
Beautiful wood!! Love how you talk to us like we are there!!!
You mean your not? Oh, dear, who have I been seeing around the lathe? Scary! 😊
👀🤔 hmmmmm.... I think that you made a very gorgeous artwork, that's what I think! I have made a couple utensil handles with koa. It turns sooo nicely!
Cool! Thanks, Dave! 😃
Such a great privilege to get a piece of wood with such beauty in it. Awesome looking bowl. Great job Phil 👍.
Thank you, Scott! 😃
What a privilege to get a piece of Koa. As a protected species in Hawaii, it almost never is available. It is such a beautiful wood and you have certainly done it justice. I have a Koa guitar that I just love! Thanks for showing us a turning of it!! Cheers, Rick
Oh, I bet that guitar is beautiful, Rick! 😃
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop It is! And it sounds as good as it looks ❤
Wow, nicely done! It definitely does the wood-for-royalty justice.
Thank you, Dana! 😊
Wow, Phil. That wood is beautiful. (Most things on Hawaii are beautiful, so it makes sense that the wood is too.). Are you tempted to use every scrap of that wood, including the off-cuts? They could be pens or buttons, or with a bit of jiggery-pokery, you could make candlesticks. I would love to see the creativity that you would bring to the project. Would anyone else in the comments like to see some small but wonderful things being made?
Oh yes!🙏
Who knows, it could happen, Deirdre! 😃
Phil, absolutely beautiful you always turn a beautiful bowl. Thank you Rick for sending Phil this amazing chunk of wood.
It is amazing and so is Rick, Kevin! Thank you! 😃
Another just beautiful Bowl ! Wow that KOA sure is beautiful ! Thanks for sharing !
😃
Yes, you certainly did this piece justice!!!! The dropped wings give it a nice added feature.
Thank you, Eileen! 😃
That Koa is just beautiful. My favorite piece you have done. Great job Phil!
Thank you, Mike, I'm glad you like it! 😃
WOW Phil! What an honor! You are one of few people that get to turn Koa wood. It is one of the rarest woods in the world, most beautiful, and also most expensive. This tree grows only in Hawaii. Most of the trees were cut down in the 1800’s and few were left. It is actually illegal to cut these trees on public land. The prices I saw were from $40 to $200 per board feet. So, you had about $250 in shavings on the floor. I believe you did that piece of wood justice! Respectfully, Kevin. PS, I wrote most of this during the video. Take care Phil!
Thank you so much, Kevin! A few years ago, when I retired, I bought all the wood from a high-end cabinet shop that was going out of business. Among all the hardwood was a piece labeled "figured Koa." It's about 15" wide, 1 1/2" thick and about six feet long. I knew it was worth a bit. I haven't turned any of it because I just didn't feel I was worthy. Now, at 75, I'm thinking if I don't turn it someone else will. Now that I've had the chance to see what Koa looks like all finished, I might do just that. Some platters may be in my future, who knows? 😃
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop That is worth more than your lathe! You do know that there are ways to make deeper bowls with some time, tools, and glue. I mark circles on the face, rip the board, and cut rings with my band saw at an angle. Not all at 45 deg. I use the lathe as a clamp and put the rings back on one at a time and add the next after 15 mins slightly offset. Almost everyone I made was sold. People at work wanted to buy them. Best wishes Phil! See your family often!
Of course, "bowl from a board." I don't have the time, getting one video out each week and replying to comments takes all I've got. I don't think I would do that with Koa, anyway. Thanks, Kevin. 😃
Great looking bowl! And, to paraphrase a popular commercial: Phil Anderson gives bowls WIIIINGS!
Haha, love it, Douglas, thank you! 😃
On my monitor, the shavings looked like copper ribbons! The end result looks fabulous. Great job, Phil! 👍
Cool! Thanks, Tom! 😊
Well done Phil!!! Beautiful bowl.
😃
Phil,
Thank you for a most beautiful piece and a great relaxing interlude .
Keep the aspidistra flying!
God bless,
Paul
Thanks, Paul! 😃
@Phil Anderson
Nothing you don’t deserve, Phil😎.
You are sounding exceptionally good these days. I most fervently hope that your health is as good as you sound in your videos 🫡.
Keep the aspidistra flying!
I have a pen I bought about four years ago made out of koa. I bought it in Kauai. It has a nice patina. I bought some scrap Koa from the same place for my son to use for knife handles on the knives he makes. I knew this would be a lovely piece when you said it is koa wood. I was not disappointed. It is a beautiful bowl. I like the shape it’s different. Bead is a nice touch and is exactly what the rim of the bowl with the wings needed.
Thanks for the show.
Joel
Might have been from the same place my granddaughter bought me the small pieces she brought back, J D! 😃
Another stunning piece. Love love love the dropped wing and bead. How lucky you are to have this piece of rare wood sent to you. Keep smiling.
None luckier, Chris! Thank you! 😃
What an absolutely stunning piece!! Koa is a gorgeous wood and you most certainly did it justice. Marvelous. 💖💖💖
😃

Thank you, Loraine! 😃
Howdeeeee Phil, Absolutely fabulous, can't find the right words to describe the beautiful grain in the piece,💕👍👀👏👏👏👏👏🇬🇧
Beautiful works, Maud, thanks! 😃
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Also in the eyes of the turner to bring out a fabulous gem🥰🇬🇧
I've had the pleasure of turning koa. It was about 40 years ago. Sister sent a box of boards. That was before bowl turning. Made a bunch of pens and a few cribbage boards. Beautiful to work with. As is the piece you made. Thanks for sharing.
Cool, thanks, Garth! 😃
You did it justice Phil it looks absolutely stunning love working with Koa it just shines and looks so rich Blessings
😃
OMG, Phil!! This is an amazingly beautiful bowl!!! The wood grain is fantastic! I do love this bowl!❤
Lots to love, Texana and I'm glad you are joining me, thank you! 😃
Beautiful bowl. Love the species of wood
Thank you very much! Me too! 😊
Oh my gosh! What a lovely piece. Phil you definitely did justice to that chunk of wood, as your friend called it. It is absolutely gorgeous. I had to share this one for sure. I share all your videos, but this one man oh man is it ever pretty. Have a great weekend, have fun with the Buttons 🤣🥰
Very cool, Jane, thank you so much! 😃
Gorgeous wood, gorgeous grain, colours, and result. You gave it justice, Phil. I love the droopy wings too.
Cool, thanks, Richard! 😃
Colors are beautiful. Thanks again for sharing with your RUclips family
😃
Absolutely gorgeous. I enjoy watching your videos and seeing all the beautiful things you make. God bless you
Thank you for being here, Bonnie! 😊
What an unbelievable piece of wood. It is one of your BETTER turnings, I think.
As usual you put your magic spell on it!
FANTASTIC!!

Thank you, Colleen! 😃
THANK YOU PHIL, THANK YOU RICK CHAPMAN....Nice to have good friends from Hawaii.... This is my first close up incounter with Koa. Watch, listening, seeing the chips fly one gets a very good idea of the overall character of the wood. Watching you turn the inside I thought "now if Phil could make a bead on the top that would look neat-o" than you pulled out your beading tool, 😉.... Phi that Koa is a good looking bowl and you certainly gave it the respect it deserves..... TM
I hate to use crutches like that beading tool, Tuffy. I much prefer to just make beads with my gouge or even my point tool. In this case, I just didn't want to mess it up! LOL! Glad you like it, thank you! 😃
My 1st. Time seeing Koa wood too. I had no idea of it's beauty.
Outstanding! One of the most beautiful bowls you've ever turned. Thank you.
Thank you, Garland! 😃
A beautiful bowl,beautiful grain and color. Just to let you know your videos relax me so much that I fall asleep, and I have to go back to watch the end. When you turn the Red Elm that I sent you, you also will be amazed.
Thank you, Bum! 😃
I have been watching your videos for a few months now and have learned a lot about having fun turning wood bowls. I started turning after a friend of mine gave me a old lathe. Joined a club in the UP of Michigan and enjoy trying something new after watching you. Thanks for sharing your love of wood turning. 😊
Sounds like you are living the dream, Paul! It's great you have found this hobby to be rewarding. Me too! 😃
A rare piece indeed. It should be your most cherished piece. I know it would be mine.
It's right up there, Greg, thanks! 😃
Beautiful bowl, Phil. I was yelling at you to make it a droopy wing bowl. I'm glad you heard me.
Bill
Haha loud and clear, Bill! 😃
Those shaving….like ribbons! Pure masterful technique!
Thank you, Tina! 😃
I remember while in Hawaii…and the stories about it. Then getting to see the natives creations with it! I was in aww. What a treat getting to see you create a magnificent work of art!!! Well done!
That piece of wood has such beautiful grain, that was high lighted because of your wonderful design and skilled work! Great job Phil 🇨🇱🤠
😃
Wow Phil, the grain on that is beautiful. You do such wonderful work and I can't wait for your next project each week.
Thank you very much, Jean! 😃
Phil,
I love this bowl. I know it is a diversion from your normal. I do also like how you take non-traditional pieces and make something unique from them. I do appreciate how you tell us your mental process as you think through each piece. Thank you very much
I appreciate your great comment, Dick, thank you! 😃
Words fail me, just to say I am very jealous . Really nice turn.
😃
Stunning! That's a piece of art that when someone sees it they say; I gotta have it! Great work Phil.
Haha, they ain't gettin' it, Mark! Thank you, buddy! 😃
Beautiful square winged Koa wood bowl, Phil. 😊😊😊
😃
Hi Phil...
Beautiful work as always...
I do like a winged bowl.. the bead was a nice touch and the finish was amazing...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Thank you so much, Andy! 😃
I really have no words. Wow! Just... Wow!
That about covers it, Wes! 😃
This is Fabulous. Perhaps Someday I'll lucky enough to turn something as beautiful
😃
As always, Phil, you have delivered. Very nice indeed!
Thank you, Hubert! 😃
It really is a lovely piece, Phil: perfect proportions. I’m so pleased I’ve discovered you 🌞
Thank you very much, Ray! 😃
Phil that is absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤❤❤ love it!
😃
Boy oh, boy oh, boy Phil. I think Koa is on my top 5 favorite woods you have turned! It is so stunning. Thank Rick for me for sending it to you so it could be turned into this beautiful 😍 bowl. Great project & video 😊
Thank you, Duchess! 😃
Beautiful job turning a beautiful bowl from a gorgeous piece of wood! My sister in law is from Hawaii and has a gorgeous dining room set with two huge china cabinets all made from Koa. Very dense, very heavy and gorgeous!
😃
Hi Phil,Terry Meek here from Robinson, Il. I just stumbled on to your site and am addicted to watching you turn wood. You are a master. The KOA you turned is gorgeous. As I said I am addicted to your site and will continue to watch. Thank you for sharing you beautiful work.
Thanks and welcome, Terry! Glad to have you join our little group! 😊
Wow , you did that piece of koa justice....the finish, the droop on the wings , really gorgeous. I'm so jealous you got to turn some koa...
I feel so fortunate, Robert! 😃
Beautiful Beautiful Phil museum piece of art stunning....WOOW Phil.
Thank you, Kim! 😃
I will forever be looking for this wood. It makes cocobollo look like pine. You did great work with it. Congratulations.
Thank you very much, George! 😊
Wow Phil, that Koa wood is gorgeous!!!! You did an awesome job show casing it’s beautiful 😊
😃
a really great piece of art.. Koa is one of my favorite woods, but I haven't turned any since my teens in woodshop, back in the mid 70's.. and you're right, you did it justice.. just beautiful.. thanks Phil for taking us along with you on this project..
Thank you very much, Juan! 😃
That is an absolutely beautiful bowl. Great job! You should send the cut offs to Gary to make a bowl from them.👌👌👌👍👍
😃
You really did do it justice, Phil! What a beautiful piece of art! Well done, Sor. It makes a change from doing "live-edge" bowls (even though I prefer them!)
Awesome, thank you! 😊
That Koa is gorgeous wood. They use that on high end guitars. That is one of the prettiest bowels that you've done.
😃
This bowl turned out beautiful. I Love all the color variation. Thanks for sharing. Be well
😃
Evening from alabama Mr. Phil. Your right its beautiful. Your talented hands sure helped.
Thank you, Bobby! 😃
Who better to do justice to this BEAUTIFUL piece of Koa than you Phil. What stunning wood it is & no wonder they are trying to protect what is left. You said that you hoped to 'do it justice' & you have done so in spades. Cutting off the pith to get rid of that crack was a master stroke as I believe that the finished bowl is in perfect proportion. The grain is outstanding, very pleasing on the eyes & I think the shellac finish is absolutely great. Thanks for sharing this one Phil & put it up near the top of your 'outstanding list of projects'. Cheers mate, stay well, Don from South Aust. "PS. About not trusting us to give help, if I had yelled out any 'advice' you would not have heard me, but I could not have helped you improve on the finished piece".
Haha, thank you, Don! You'd be surprised what I hear from you folks! 😃
That’s beautiful wood,and the bead work looks great. The wings on the bowl was a good choice. Keep turning 👍👍👍👍
Thanks, Mark! 😃
Thank You Phil for the videos you do , I get so many ideas from them. Keep up the good work.👍👍👍👍
The wings really show off the grain. Beautiful!
😃
Wonderful, wonderful piece, Phil. It's always a pleasure to watch you exercising your craft.
Thanks
Thank you, Dave! 😃
All I can say is wow. Amazing Phil. Need to get some friends from Hawaii to send me some of that wood. Again wow.
😃
Greetings from England Phil, Wow never heard of Koa but boy did you do that piece justice !!
😃
A piece of natures beauty manicured with a sharp gouge and a fair amount skill. ❤
😃
That is one master of a bowl. You really did do that “chunk of wood” justice. Nicely done Sir!
😃
Wow, oh wow! What a beautiful piece. You really did justice to that hunk of wood.❤❤❤
Thank you, Chris! 😃
Yep, ITS BEAUTIFUL. The wood is right there with black walnut for its natural horn beauty. Simply fabulous. Well turned as well.
Thanks, Doug! 😃
As usual, Phil, you do a fantastic job you Bring the beauty out in the woods. Fantastic job.
Thanks a lot, Ken! 😃
Gorgeous piece Phil. Koa, Koa who-a-thunk it. I have learned so much by watching your videos. Wayne in WI.
That's great, Wayne, thank you! 😊
I would give you 5 thumbs up if I could. Love the down wing.
Cool, thank you! 😃
that wood is absolutely beautiful grain. You did a beautiful job
Thank you, Earl! 😃
A wonderful turning Phil. That koa is gorgeous.
😃
That is some beautiful wood Phil. Yes, you definitely did it justice; the piece looks awesome.
😃
What a perfectly beautiful bowl! Thanks Phil😊
Thank you, Karen! 😃
Wow, Phil, you definitely did this beautiful piece of Koa justice! The winged bowl was a great choice. I thought the bead was a wonderful feature. Excellent! Thanks!
Thank you, Greg! 😃
Thanks for sharing this. It went from "Already popping" to and absolute explosion of beauty.
Thank you, Jimmy! 😃
That is absolutely gorgeous!
I'm glad you like it, Amy, thank you! 😊
I would love your thoughts on some of the woodworking I do with the scroll saw. I am a newbie but we both have this love for working with wood in our venue of choice. God bless! @@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop
I think it is a beautiful masterpiece and, yes, you certainly did it justice.
😃
Square bowl love them top work once again Phil looking forward for next week's project already
Thank you, Gregg! 😃
Have never been fond of the squared 'wings' ... Phil, you have changed my mind. This is a valuable piece of artwork, must be stored in your safe! Not lying, you made an incredible piece out of rare wood. I'm sure the history museum in Hawaii would pay a good price to acquire that bowl. Awesome job, just beautiful.
How kind of you, thank you very much! 😃
Beautiful wood and a wonderful shape!! Thanks Phil !!!!
😃
Ooooo, Koa! Nicely done Phil. Does that mean you are finally ready to tackle that big board of you know what? LOL. Maybe Gary’s bowl from a board or set of platters/plates? Cindy coming for visit. May have to send something to you on her return trip.
Always exciting to see what you send our Phil, Valerie! 👏🙏👍☺️
I'm so fortunate to have had this opportunity, Valerie! It did get me thinking about my board. Who knows, maybe someday! I'm actually good for awhile, thank you! 😃
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I know you have plenty. But I have a sense of humor, right? So, this one has your name on it. You can stash it for a while.
@@valeriehenschel1590 Humor is good!
Beautiful my friend, imagine a piece of furniture made from this wood!
