Bugs and Bark and Chain Saw Marks...hard get much Better!. Hey I think I just wrote a song LOL You got a winner here Phil. And I agree the chain saw mark is the star in this one. Very cool looking. And wow with the flower arrangement it really looks great. I think I will grab my guitar and put some chords to my new song! Great video my friend, Gary
Phil, You are getting very popular! 52K+ subscribers and lots of comments. Nice vase! You take care of yourself my friend! Lots of people who care about you! Respectfully, Kevin
Thank You Phil, Thank You Dennis, Thank You Mr.& Mrs. Bug.... Love the Oak and Love the Bug Hotel. The before and after with the flowers looks great. Nice turning and for you Phil an unusual spindle turning...😀😀😀.....TM
Eviction notice served... Tenants removed... Tenement log repurposed... Face-lift complete... I'd call that a successful days work ... and an awesome end result. Thanks Phil for another entertaining video 🤩
Hi 👋, Phil from Phil, A grubby looking piece, 😂 Sorry I mean a great looking piece with grubs in it, You probably fine that the grub’s will probably get upset do does centrifugal force of them being spun round on your lathe, Another great looking piece of art, And I do like the texture of the wood and the chainsaw massacre part of it as well and the bug holes do look like they have been carved out, Great work Phil. Look forward to next tutorial next week, Phil from the moulin France.
White oak hasn't got the best of exciting grain patterns so the bugs and ham-fisted chain sawyer have lifted this piece from commonplace to the extraordinary - with the application of the usual Shady Acres artistry. Thank you, Phil,.
I have absolutely no possibility of ever having a wood lathe. So I watch your channel just for the fun of it, and just love every minute. Unlike some other channels, you have a way of seeing the art in a piece of wood, You just happen to be a master of bringing the best out of a piece of wood that otherwise would end up in the fire place, no joke and no flattery here either. You held the vase to show the chain saw mark, and I saw two eyes and the beak of an owl hiding there, Oak has two features; the grain and all those little crack like streaks running with the length. This gives oak a distinct character. Another master piece, Phil. Stay safe and get well. ;-)
Hey Phil. After 40 years of regular carpentry I retired and bought a lathe. I had in mind hoping to make natural and live edge pieces. I learned from you about saving chainsaw marks and other " defects ". I really like them. And friends I gift my pieces to like the natural "defects" too. So yeah, saving that chainsaw mark in your vase is top shelf. I'm so dizzy, Phil Anderson's lathe is spinning. 🤣. I'd give you five thumbs up if I could.
Hi 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋 Phil hay the vase turned out better than I thought it would good job. I had a Ceder tree that was Attacked by wood bores just like you I turned a Bowl 🥣 with the wood 🪵 and it turned out ok also. I just wanted to share with you.
Phil I think it looks awesome you sure had a job on your hands hollowing this one out but you showed it who the boss was. You sure make wood look beautiful. I love it when the wood fight’s back and you kick its ass. Till next time take care 👍👍👍😊😊😊♥️
🙋♂️🏴 Hi Phil a break from your usual work but still great to watch. I liked the finished piece the grain, bark and the bug holes look great together, but I must be honest I'm not so keen on the chain saw marks. See you next time.
Thank you for sharing making a vase. I have some absolutely beautiful river birch that had some one inch worms in it. Watching your videos has helped me turn my first bowls and I have to admit they are beautiful. The wood makes even me look like a pro. Thanks Phil for your video school on turning. You help so many of us.
Without a whole lot of shakin goin on. Mask and face shield on. You turn a really pretty piece. It was the icing on the cake for the evening after my TNT Thursday night turn. I really hope you are doing well Phil. I will look for you again next week. Thanks for the great demo 😀 👍
I'm so glad you hadn't turned away the chainsaw mark. I thought it gave even more character to the vase. That worm was icky. For some reason the 2nd one wasn't as icky. Another fantastic job, Phil.
Good morning Phil. Once again I have cold tea this morning. I totally forgot about it as I was engrossed in this video. This is one beautiful vase. The bug holes, chainsaw mark and bark all add so much individually but put them all together and you get this amazing piece. Isn't nature wonderful!!!. Perhaps you should do more vases Phil. Thanks for making my early morning more pleasurable and I'm off now to make a fresh cup of hot tea. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
You make your mornings sound so comfortable and cozy, Huw. I have coffee in the morning but mostly outside, standing up, watching the birds and other critters come and go. I enjoy it but your way just sounds more relaxing. Anyway, thanks for watching, my friend! 😊
I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of a singer/songwriter named Brandi Carlile, but she has a song called The Story, that I love, and the first verse, starts, “All of these lines upon my face, they tell you the story of who I am”, that’s what you do with your pieces. You let line cut marks, and the bark, and the wrinkles, tell the story.
With the chainsaw oops makes it look like a face in that area. Love the grain and the bug holes don't bother me. We have some in our logs inside the house. Gives it character. Another beauty my friend. 💗
Beautiful vase, Phil. Enjoyed this video very much except for the digging out of the bugs. It was actually making Gayle squirm a little bit. 😂😂 Another great video, my friend. thanks for sharing! Happy turning, …..Gord
Made me squirm a little to, Gord! I'm confident I got all of them, at least with the microwave, but what if I didn't? LOL! Thanks for your support, Gord, much appreciated! 😊
...what a sweet looking vase...I love the character in the wood and the chainsaw groove...and, of course, the bark! I guess it just goes to show, if you want something to work or turn out correctly, you have to work the bugs out of it...👍
Before you even started I was saying to myself save that chainsaw whoops. It's been a while since I have turned a hollow spindle turning myself. I'm still not quite comfortable with it but have made some beautiful things. Happy turning my friend and thanks for the tips as always 😊
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Howdy! I spend a lot of time as a child in my Granddads wood shop, he had two lathes one of which he built himself. I love your channel its become a comfort thing, I am happy just listening to you running your lathe and spinning these amazing things. This vase is beautiful.
Wow, this was a departure, and it is beautiful! With the vase upright, the saw mark looks like the side of a nose, with bug hole eyes and a wavy grain mouth. An Indigenous mask perhaps?? Gorgeous!!! 👏👏👏👏👏❤💖
I watch many wood turners on RUclips and Phil is my favourite because his experience and honesty about his journey in woodturning is the best education a newbie can get. Everything explained even the mistakes. I’ve learnt so much from a genuine guy. Thanks Phil, your a star.
I really like this vase - bug holes (sans bugs) and the chainsaw “whoopsie”. I’m happy you were able to save some bark. I hope your wearing hearing protection when you are boring out the vase. Great video as usual. God bless.
Beautiful. Just Absolutely Beautiful! You say " I just wish you could feel how smooth this is"... I have worked with Oak ( making cabinets ) and know just what it feels like with the difference in the light and darker grains causing " steps " between. I can also see them here. Another piece of art to be very proud of Sir. It's very tactile. One of the things I always enjoyed about my aunt's many acrylic paintings. Once dry I could run my little fingers over the cactus and boulders and critters she often included in her art. Re: the forester bit snafu; I am currently in after care treatment of stage 4 neck cancer and have been at home on disability for almost two years now with just a short break of 4 months back to work. ( it's in full remission now, just the after treatment ) It was bad enough that my Oncologist had me on a triple cocktail of chemo treatment. Then a full round of radiation. Somewhere in all of this treatment I overheard a couple of the nurses talking about what they called " chemo-brain". I asked them what they meant and they told me that the chemo can really affect how you think. Boy have I learned that to be true having three times as much as usual. Sometimes I miss such simple things like stepping up the drill size in making large deep holes like that or what should be done 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. and just felt so ignorant until I remember, " chemo-brain". Things I learned a lifetime ago are just gone now. I really have to concentrate and even write out steps so I hope I don't miss anything and screw up some valuable piece of wood or lose time in work. I'm sorry if this is TMI but thought I'd make the correlation . Looking at what you just did I would say that you ARE a great spindle turner in your own manor. Keep up the great work and stay well. Regards, Bill Riley
Well, you sure have been through the works! I'm so glad you are in remission. Good to know about the chemo brain, now I have an excuse about not being able to figure out righty tighty, lefty loosey! I really have to concentrate on that part, too! 😊
Looks pretty sweet Phil! I don't microwave, I just fill a hypodermic needle with acetone and put it in the holes to kill bugs. Evaporates quickly and no stains.
That was a wonderful surprise! You got a thumbs up from my wife and me. Absolutely right on with the saw cut. I wasn’t sure you had made the right decision making that end up, but of course…….! Beautiful. Cheers, Rick
So many pieces are cut like this to begin with, it's worth the effort to give it a try. Just remember, when hollowing, start in the center and work your way out, contrary to not end grain. 😊
Love the vase. Glad you were able to keep some bark on including the chainsaw “woopsie”. Dennis picked an excellent specimen for all to enjoy. God bless.
I agree, oak's grain is truly fascinating Phil, this vase is one of my favorites from you. I dig your ability to find the beauty within a POS log and turn it into an art piece. I call it "making chicken salad out of chicken sh!+", haha.
I really love this vase. As you have said in the past all of the bug holes are part of the history of the log. The chainsaw whoopsie looks great. My first or second turning had one in it and I left it in. It made the piece. Thanks for all of the help that you’ve given us beginning turners.
Very nice looking vase. I didn't see it at first when you were talking about saving the chain saw scar, but I should have learned by this time to trust your vision. Now I know the government is trying to substitute insects for normal protein sources in all their meals programs, but make sure that anything that crawled out of that vase gets disposed of, no matter how good they smelled in that microwave. Take care, Phil and keep turning.
I watch others turn a vase with the same profile that you have turned. They always take the bark off which is fine….but wow I do love the bark you left on this vase. The bark and the chain saw mark make this piece. I thought right from the beginning leave the chain saw mark Phil it’s all part of the wood. Beautiful vase. Thanks for the show! Joel
Phil, I sympathize with your center hole. I do a lot of drilling in oak here in Texas and was taught by a seasoned vase and bowl turner to gradually increase the size if the hole. I start with a 1/2 inch forstner and move up in 1/4 inch increments. I used to start big and used up many hours and heated bits to get done. Worked good for me. Beautiful vase. Am inspired to do one again in oak and pecan.
Love your videos and your commentary. Sometimes you crack me up with your humor! Thanks!
😊
Bugs and Bark and Chain Saw Marks...hard get much Better!. Hey I think I just wrote a song LOL You got a winner here Phil. And I agree the chain saw mark is the star in this one.
Very cool looking. And wow with the flower arrangement it really looks great. I think I will grab my guitar and put some chords to my new song!
Great video my friend,
Gary
Haha, I was thinking you still thought it was poem week, Gary! 😊 How's that song coming along? I expect to hear it in your next video!
Ok maybe next 😂😆😎
Beautiful work. Worm holes give it a special touch. The chainsaw booboo looks like the start of carving for an owl’s face.
Thank you very much, Janie! 😊
I just HAD to order a Sandoflex! Should’ve ordered 2!
Phil is da man!👏👏👌👍👌👌
Killer, Phil! Bravo Phil!
I'm sure you'll love it Roy! 😊

Got my two Sandoflexes and my denim shirt and now I’m ready to turn some masterpieces. Thank you for the inspiration, Phil.
That's all it takes, Hubert, you are ready! 😊
Phew! I was hoping that was all I needed. I’ll let you know how I make out. You are the best, Phil.

Nice. You’re better at spindle turning than you’re leading us to believe. 🤪 Looks very professional. ❤👍👍👍
Well, it's not that I can't do it, it's that it's not much fun, Steve!😊

Love all the lil dinks and holes just makes it look more natural and rustic.
Thankyou for sharing 😁
You are so welcome, Laura, thanks for watching and commenting! 😊
I'm so glad you hadn't turned away the chainsaw mark. I thought it gave even more character to the vase.
That worm was icky. For some reason the 2nd one wasn't as icky.
Another fantastic job, Phil.
I agree about the chainsaw mark and the icky worm, Katheleen! LOL! 😃
Good morning Phil.

The chainsaw mark is indeed a lovely feature, as are the bug holes. It's the living history the oak tree, which is unique and beautiful
😃
The chainsaw oops and the fact there is plenty of bark left on it…. Looks very beautiful!
😊
With the chainsaw oops makes it look like a face in that area. Love the grain and the bug holes don't bother me. We have some in our logs inside the house. Gives it character. Another beauty my friend. 💗

This is entertaining as well as instructive! I had to laugh at "hope he's left the building"😂
I should have named him Elvis! 😊
Another amazing piece for the books! Love how the chainsaw mark came out!
Thanks a bunch! 😊
I love the character the bug holes add to a projects. I done many pieces with bug holes. My customer that buys these love them too. Great job!

I think so too, thank you! 😊

So many pieces are cut like this to begin with, it's worth the effort to give it a try. Just remember, when hollowing, start in the center and work your way out, contrary to not end grain. 😊
Another great piece that you brought to life. Mother nature gives you the wood to make magic out of.
So true! 😀
I love it along with all of natures art work in it👍🏻❤
Glad you enjoy it! 😊
I love that you leave the big marks and bark. Most people will make it 'perfect' but I like to see the true nature of the wood. Trees aren't perfect!!
Agreed, Vicki, thank you! 😊
Phil, Nice live edge vase. Every project you do is beautiful.
Glad you like it, Kevin, thank you for watching! 😊
Love the bug holes, really great. Again you've got a great imagination, like it.
Thank you, Chris! 😊
Love the vase. Glad you were able to keep some bark on including the chainsaw “woopsie”. Dennis picked an excellent specimen for all to enjoy. God bless.
He did! Thanks, Michele! 😊
I like your slotted dowel with sand paper , I have to make some for sanding the small boxes and dice cups that I make
😊
I love the way you made that soft edge at the neck Also love the saw scar...the whole thing is lovely..
I'm glad, Lucy, thank you! 😊
Love the chainsaw mark and grub holes. Nice vase
😊
Bravo! Such a beautiful vase. Rip bugs.
Haha, poor bugs! 😊
Loved the chainsaw oopsie and all the bark and bugholes. They gave the log character when turned.
😊
Really gorgeous ❣️❗❤️ Love it ❗❣️❤️
Yay! Thank you! 😊
That is an awesome piece. Great work Phil. That bug was nice and dizzy when you found it.
LOL! 😊
I like it. I understand the pain of the large drills, I make beer mugs and they take forever to bore.
😊
Beautiful vase Phil the chainsaw mark is the best feature it looks great!
😊
One of the most beautiful pieces, Phil. Love the live edge rim at the top!
Thanks, Morgan! 😃
Nice one, Phil! I would have turned it chainsaw mark down to get rid of it, but you made it an interesting feature.
Sometimes ya just get lucky, Billy! 😊
That looks great and the chain saw cut is perfect!,,,,
Thanks, Jack! 😃
Always enjoy watching your videos, I love turning and as soon as I get some time I'm going to make some sawdust
Thanks, Karl! 😊
This bug is still active but I'm getting around it. Nice job, Phil!
😊
The worm holes, bark and chain saw marks really give this vase very unique details and can not be duplicated ever. Great job.

O boy a vase I'm so Excited to see how it comes out
😊
you say you don't do spindle turning well but I think you do all the turning well... that's a beautiful vase
I'm glad you like it, Celia, thank you! 😊
Lucky you got to it before the bugs had eaten any more. It turned out Fantastic
😊
I really like that you explain what you are doing and why.
I'm so glad, thank you, Jane! 😊
Hi Phil, beautyful grain in the piece of wood .When you said white oak I was pleasently surprised to see the lighter colouring of the vase
😊
Love the final result….another great job….the whoopsie and bug holes add such character…love it!
😊
Very nice ❤️ That would have made a pretty little lamp base,,,too!
😃
I saw its real beauty only when flowers were in it. That is amazing.
The flowers do help to put it into perspective, Andrew. 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Yes, you are right.
Another beautiful piece of art Phil
😊
Nicely done Phil 👍🙂
Thanks, William! 😃
I really love this vase. As you have said in the past all of the bug holes are part of the history of the log. The chainsaw whoopsie looks great. My first or second turning had one in it and I left it in. It made the piece. Thanks for all of the help that you’ve given us beginning turners.
Cool, thank you, Thomas! 😊
Very nice looking vase. I didn't see it at first when you were talking about saving the chain saw scar, but I should have learned by this time to trust your vision.

LOL!
If I had the disposable dollars, I would take that one from you. I love the shape with the bark on the shoulders of the vase. ❤❤
I'm so glad you like it, Laura, thank you! 😊
That came out really well Phil
Thanks, Sid! 😊
Beautiful vase Phil and you did a great job turning it also!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

HI Phil that's a really beautiful piece and funky. weldone.
Glad you like it, Manjit, thanks!! 😊
gorgeous! whoopsie and all! love it... 27:39 ~ 27:59 looks like an owl or some kinda bird!
Owl for sure, Whitey! 😊
As always Phil you made another Gorgeous Piece. Love the bug damage.
Thanks for sharing 👍.
😊
Love the vase. Essentially chainsaw feature and the bug holes. Great that you were able to save the bark.
😊
It came out Gorgeous. Of course I always like bark left on when it can be.
I was quite surprised at how much remained, Sherry! 😊
Great job again Phil. I'm glad you left that part of the chain saw mark. It's a part of the woods history as you say.
😊
Phil, your videos are so interesting. This piece with the bark, the saw cut, the bug holes and the grain turned out great!
Cosmo from Billerica, Ma.
I'm glad you think so, Cosmo, thank you! 😊
I watch others turn a vase with the same profile that you have turned. They always take the bark off which is fine….but wow I do love the bark you left on this vase. The bark and the chain saw mark make this piece. I thought right from the beginning leave the chain saw mark Phil it’s all part of the wood. Beautiful vase.
Thanks for the show!

Phil,
I sympathize with your center hole. I do a lot of drilling in oak here in Texas and was taught by a seasoned vase and bowl turner to gradually increase the size if the hole. I start with a 1/2 inch forstner and move up in 1/4 inch increments. I used to start big and used up many hours and heated bits to get done.
Worked good for me.
Beautiful vase. Am inspired to do one again in oak and pecan.
😊
Awesome 😎 🪵 vase !!
