- I'm always trying to turn a pleasing vase shape. It's a struggle for me because I'm more of a bowl turner but I keep trying. I think this one is what I have been looking for. I like it quite a lot! White Oak finished in shellac.

I should have named him Elvis! 😊
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.
Thank you, Michele! A little late for hearing protection, I'm afraid. 60's rock music took it's toll! 😊
I love watching what you do!!
And I love having you here to watch, Kathy, thank you! 😊
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 😂😆😎
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!!! 👏👏👏👏👏❤💖
Love your imagination, Vicki! 😊
Good job
Thanks, Vern! 😊
Great work as always.
Thank you! 😊 Cheers!
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 piece Sir. Thank you for sharing. You know, the bugs are just fish bait.
Yeah, but if you catch a fish you gotta eat it. Icky! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I agree with ick to eating them but they sure are fun to catch
Have you ever turned an old hydro pole?
Don't know what that is, Steve.
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Hydro pole? That's one of those wooden poles that are/were used to string electrical wires along streets. All those indents from the milling process and from the cleats used to climb them might add interesting features.
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. ;-)
I see the owl clearly, Robert, thanks for pointing him out! 😊
A comment on microwaving: Making a piece of wood hot, and exposed to the air, will always dry and shrink and crack the exposed surface. You can get it hot enough to kill bugs, without much risk of surface cracking by heating in a plastic bag. A Walmart grocery type bag can stand steam, without melting. Then you let it cool, in the bag (and wet on the outside) but with more even moisture throughout. Then you take it out of the bag and let the outside dry off, at room temperature . Try it with some piece of scrap that you cut in half and put only half in the bag, heating both, at the same time, to see the difference the plastic bag makes.
I have been able to successfully microwave rough cut bowl for years. Thirty seconds on, twenty minutes to half an hour cooling. Repeat until weight stops changing. It may take all day but it works. Microwave power cannot be too high!
@@kenvasko2285 rough-cut bowl is just about the perfect shape to dry with the microwave. Its fairly uniform, thin wall and curve allows shrinkage to just warp the shape, instead of pulling itself apart. The problem occurs with thick cross sections that have a shrinking surface stretched over a non-shrinking core.
I guess I always thought the plastic would melt. I do use zip lock bags in the microwave but I thought they were a different kind of plastic. This is interesting, thanks! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Zip lock bags are polyethylene and melt right around the boiling point of water, (similar to hot-melt glue sticks) though they do not absorb microwave energy. It passes right through. But the grocery bags are a slightly higher melting point plastic than zip locks. You don't need to seal them tightly (they will just blow up with steam. Just lightly twist them closed, and sit the wood on the twist.
@@kenvasko2285 good to know
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.
Sure, I've heard Brandi, Leona. I'm so glad you equate my style to her story! 😊
🙋♂️🏴 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.
😊
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.
Glad you enjoyed it, Phil, thank you for watching! 😊
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! 😊
Oh Phill I wish I had seen this video about 20 years ago. I found a piece of apple full of bugs and decided to turn a vase as you did. I was young (60ish) and stupid. Thought I had the piece all cleaned up when I put it on my little jet but then I turned it on. There where bugs flying in all directions. Then when I was drilling out the centre the bit got so hot it started a fire inside the piece. The shavings also caught and as they where falling to the floor started the scraps on the floor to ignite. Sure do wish I had seen this many years ago.
Wow, I'm glad all that never happened to me, Dave! Sounds like an exciting time! 😃
Love your videos and your commentary. Sometimes you crack me up with your humor! Thanks!
😊
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.
Great memories, Tessa, thanks for sharing! 😊
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
Thanks a lot, Kevin! 😊
Love it, Phil! It looks really great. I appreciate the bug holes and the chainsaw cut. Thanks for sharing another awesome video. I love how you talk about what you’re thinking and the decisions you make and how you just keep adjusting to how the wood guides you instead of fighting it! Your pieces always come out great that way!
Thanks a lot, Robin! 😊
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! 😊
This is gorgeous Phil, I love the bug holes and the chainsaw mark - all part of the character that this piece of Oak has collected over the years! Hey hope you're feeling well!
Doing pretty good, Paully, thanks! 😊
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 🤩
Haha, a formula woodturning, I like it, Denise! 😊
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!😊
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.
So nice of you, Rocky, thank you! 😊
Phil stunning fantastic vase. Original unique design ⚡️ only you have the vision of perfection ⭐️👀👀👀👀👀👀
😊
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! 😊
Stupid RUclips algorithms...... I've watched many, many of your videos in the past but then RUclips doesn't notify me about your newest. Until they do, but then there's months of backlog to catch up on. Which is kinda alright 👍....... A shady Acres Binge Watch. I love the Buggy 🐛 Oak. Lots of fun features. Well done Phil!
Thank you, Brock! 😊 There is a Bell icon next to the Subscribe button. If you click that, you should be notified. In any event, thanks for looking for me and commenting, much appreciated!
I can just imagine all of those grubs flying out all around your workshop 😂😂😂😂😂
Icky but as far as I know, it didn't happen, Clyde! 😃
What chainsaw mark? You turned a perceived blemish into a beauty mark!
Nice 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks 👍
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! 😊
Hi Phil. Love this piece though I was surprised to find you turning vases. I hope you gave the worms a decent burial. How’s your health, these days.? Fond regards Richard. Uk
Buried in the leftover wood chips, Richard. they can eat themselves to death! Doing great, thank you! 😃
I'm guessing that all the bugs are already dizzy after a turn in the lathe, so give them a splash of vodka, after that they've had enough, 😋, and they'll do as snacks. 😉.
I hope no one took it seriously.
A 👍 as usual.
❤ Carsten
😊
Now c’mon Phil! You’ve been pullin’ critters out of the wood and all of th’ sudden you want to take off at 4pm.
Admit it. All those critters are great bait for crappies! It’s okay. We understand. You went fishin’!! Lol
(Just had to rib ya bit)
😊
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.
Haha, I appreciate that, Bill, thanks! 😊
Just another thought. That looked like a log that you would quarter/split into firewood. Instead it's a thing of beauty that 100 years from now will still be looked at, as a thing of beauty. All your ugly chunks of wood are transformed. I marvel and appreciate. 👍
I appreciate that, Brock, thank you! 😊
Phil,
When you started drilling, you said that you would not show all of it because it would get boring. Isn’t that the purpose of using a drill bit?
Keep getting healthy, you sound great.
Keep the aspidistra flying!
Paul
P. S.
That is a beautiful vase! The chainsaw marks came out just right and the live edge is way better than a turned naked piece.
P
Haha, you're funny, Paul! 😊
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! 😊
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.
😊
Hi Phil, I quite enjoy watching your videos. One thing I don't think you have mentioned is your lathe. What brand is it?
Thank you, Karl! 😃 I have two videos on the lathe, which is a Jet 1840 EVS.
Hi Phil. This may be a daft stupid question but I am a very new newbie to turning so that's my excuse. Why not start roughing down with a spindle roughing gouge to round things of in stead of your bowl gouge ? Keep well & stay safe
Never use a spindle gouge on a bowl. They are designed differently with high corners that would dig into a piece of this size. Also, they are not as strong as bowl gouges. Please, just don't do it. 😊
Like I say to my wife about many of your pieces, “I could give that house room”. It just wouldn’t be as nice without the bark and the “chainsaw whoopsie”, would it?
Nope, it wouldn't, Ian. Thank you! 😊
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 the vase. Essentially chainsaw feature and the bug holes. Great that you were able to save the bark.
😊
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! 😃
Definitely a 'one off' unique piece of art Phil. Brilliant. I would not have considered leaving the chainsaw cut.
Thank you, Kevin! 😊
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.
LOL! Love that, Steve! 😊
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 😊
Thanks for watching and commenting, Edward! 😊
Beautiful piece Phil. I think the chainsaw whoopsie does add character with the way you have treated it. But honestly, I'm not a big fan of the wormholes. Great video. Best wishes. 👍
Thank you very much! 😊
I have an old microwave dedicated to wood out in my garage. I have figured out to use either the “defrost” mode or turn the power down to 30-40%. Then you can set it for several minutes and it will not get too hot. I still let the bowls cool to room temperature before doing another round.
I knew you would like the chain saw mark in the final piece. I almost yelled at you through the screen to keep it at the top and use it for interest. That is what you normally do.
If I am drilling a large diameter hole, I usually start with a smaller bit, then finish with the larger one, sometimes using multiple sizes (1”, 2”, then 3”).
Those bugs are beetle larvae.
Interesting, Dennis, thanks! 😊
Another great piece that you brought to life. Mother nature gives you the wood to make magic out of.
So true! 😀
...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...👍
LOL!
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 👍👍👍😊😊😊♥️
Thank you so much, Kelvin! 😊
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!
😊
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.
LOL!
I'm disagreeing with you Phil. I think you are excellent at design! Some of the items you mount on your lathe I wouldn't ever consider turning. Until now. I am going to start looking around for stuff like that. Anyhow another very entertaining video with a very nice outcome!
Thinking outside the box, David? I love it, have fun! 😊
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
😃
A fine example of hard work paying off! I've worked with both white and red oak. Both can be a pain in the butt, but the end results are worth the trouble. A really beautiful piece, Phil. Well done!
😊
Wow, Phil, I love it! The bark and the bug holes add so much character! You did an amazing job on this vase!
Thank you, Carol, I'm glad you like it! 😊
I like it. We have some pottery shows that come around, and this piece reminds me of some of it. They have to go to great lengths with the carving and the glazes to get what you just uncovered from Mother Nature. I'm surprised you could get that log into a microwave, you must have an extra large one.
😊
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. 💗
Thank you so much, Marge! 😊
I have made some beautiful pieces that did not get much attention from buyers at boutiques and then some that I didn't particularly care for that sold right away. Ya never know what is going to appeal to people.
😊
You have out done yourself again; she is beautiful. I take that "she" back it looks more masculine than feminine, handsome is the word.
Handsome works, E G! 😊
I know what was wrong, you were excited to try something else. PS, that was noisy and annoying, it gave me goosebumps.
LOL!
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.
Cool, thanks, Ray! 😊
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 😀 👍
Thank you, Albert! 😊
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! 😊
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! 😊
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
😊
Hi Phil,
Hope to see you at Christmas time have some wood for you and something to safely sand the bottom of deep bowled. And or vases like this one . Beautiful job.
Thank you, Arland! 😊
A bit of work, but nobody can claim you didn't urn it. Screwless wood worms, who'd a'thunk it.
😊
White oak vase was a nice project. I like the design a lot. Are you worried about further cracking?
No, the piece was dry, Ken. 😊
Beautiful vase! The chainsaw cut almost looks like 3 feathers! Definitely a feature, not a mistake.
😊
How funny I was turning a vase this week and today I was drilling out with a forstner bit like you and had the same issue of overheating. I also switched to a smaller bit. Great minds may not always think alike, but they make the same errors in judgement.
LOL!
That is an awesome piece. Great work Phil. That bug was nice and dizzy when you found it.
LOL! 😊
I appreciate your honesty and authenticity. I had never seen the dowel with sand paper on a drill before and it's genius, thank you for the tip.
It's surprising how well it works! Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated! 😃
Hey now never say you're not good at spindles! If my blind father could turn them you can!
Cool, thanks, Sheilah! 😊
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! 😊
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 like your slotted dowel with sand paper , I have to make some for sanding the small boxes and dice cups that I make
😊
The easiest way to get sanding sealer or shellac on the inside is take the chuck off the lathe, dump the material in, slosh it around, and dump out the excess. I usually leave it upside down on a dowel stand to dry.
😊
Looks good and leaving that bark made a big difference. It would have been to plain without it.
Agreed! 😊
Phil, what is the distance from your bed to the center of your spindle. What is the width between your bed ways?
It's a Jet 1840, Kevin, so that's 18" swing and 40" length. In reality it will swing 18 1/2" so that makes it 9 1/4" bed to spindle. While I was in the shop just now I measured the width between bed ways. It's 1 3/4". Never been asked that one before! 😊 It's a great lathe!
thanks Phil it looks good and you have given me a bunch of ideas for X-mas presents !
Great, have fun, Larry! 😊
HI Phil that's a really beautiful piece and funky. weldone.
Glad you like it, Manjit, thanks!! 😊
The chainsaw oops and the fact there is plenty of bark left on it…. Looks very beautiful!
😊
Still not convinced I will be turning end grain vases anytime soo but this moved me in that direction. Thanks!
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. 😊
A piece with great character Phil I thought the chainsaw mark was ni impossible to look that good even knowing it was there 👍
It's those nice little surprises that keep me going, Jeff. Glad you like it too, thank you! 😃
Another amazing piece for the books! Love how the chainsaw mark came out!
Thanks a bunch! 😊
Very nice ❤️ That would have made a pretty little lamp base,,,too!
😃
Nice! Glad you kept the chainsaw mark. Lots of character.
I think so too, thank you! 😊
I am impressed with your vision for the pieces you turn. That chain saw gouge turned out to look so natural. Really nice job. But The bugs were gross 🫣
Haha, yes they were, Karen! 😊
This bug is still active but I'm getting around it. Nice job, Phil!
😊
I like it. I understand the pain of the large drills, I make beer mugs and they take forever to bore.
😊
Absolutely stunning! You are so artistic and creative Phil. Hope you're doing well. Keeping you in prayer. Big hugs😘
Thank you so much, Leticia! I'm doing pretty good! 😊
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! 😊
Phil, Nice live edge vase. Every project you do is beautiful.
Glad you like it, Kevin, thank you for watching! 😊
Hy put it in the freezer for 24 hrs kills em stone dead. Matt. England
Thanks, Matt! 😊
Love the bug holes, really great. Again you've got a great imagination, like it.
Thank you, Chris! 😊
