- I cut this pith section from a nice piece of Koa. It seems like everyone wanted me to turn this pith piece even though it has cracks and is weak. OK, I'm here to please! Finished in Feed & Wax.

Thank you, Phil. Years ago, I first watched a video of you and for the last 3 years I have been woodturning. Thank you. Much love from Switzerland and bless you.
That is awesome! Sounds like you are enjoying your new hobby! 😊
Another great project for the books. You have taught me not to be afraid of the odd piece of wood. They all have something hiding inside,
They do! 😊
The KOA wood is awesome , but PHIL is the star of the show. Great work.
Thanks, Dale! 😊
Youth handledth thatth pith perfectlyth ! Thankth youth Philth! Beautifulth!!

Glad you listened to your viewers, it's a beautiful piece. Your right if I was you I'd keep that one too.
😊
Another beauty Phil... From trash? To treasure! Another enjoyable journey. Thanx 4 sharing and I'll keep watching... Bravo. ✌️😎👍
😊
Hello Phil, greetings from England. I just love it when you say “make a hole and polish it”! I wish I could do what you do.
Haha, thanks, Alex! 😊
...koa...my favorite wood...this tray is why...the grain is amazing! And that you kept it together to create this piece shows off your ability...👍
Love it...!
Matt
Thank you very much, Matt! 😊
It’s beautiful piece of art from the oldest part of the tree. I applaud you for giving it a new life. Something to ponder. ❤
Thanks, Maddie! 😊
Very nice. The grain and the final shape of the piece remind me a lot of things I would see in the houses of friends of my parents in the 1970s when we would go to visit. Happy times!
Great memories! 😊
Phil you were unsure of this project but us as viewers knew we would see a gorgeous outstanding piece of art
😊
The chatoyance is magnificent, so love KOA wood Phil! I think maybe I have a new favorite turning done by your hands ❤👍🏻❤
Thank you, Duchess! 😊
Great turning of non Philwood, it turned out great. Wonderful way to save a beautiful piece of cutoff wood. Thanks. Cheers, Tom
Thank you, Tom! 😊
Hi Phil the KOA wood is magnificent I love the colour and the grain of this wood. You really are an artist and you read and let the wood tell you what to do with it. This dish is fabulous and magnificent and unique well done this is why I love your videos you always turn amazing items for us. Amanda xxxx
Many thanks, Amanda, I sure do appreciate your comments! 😊
I love turning Koa wood . It always looks awesome . Then you take it to the next level. Thanks Phil .
😊
Wow!!!! The Chaytoyance is gorgeous!!!! What sweet little dish. It is just lovely, Phil.
Thank you, Jane! 😊
That dish is beyond beautiful. The shape and colors are so very lovely. Thanks for satisfying our desire to see more of that beautiful wood.
Thank you, Judith! 😊
Of course, it’s Koa, from Hawaii! And you certainly did it justice!
😊
Love the wood, chatoyance, and shape. Once again you brought a piece of firewood back to life! Love it!
Thank you, Brenda! 😊
I was yelling don’t go to deep on your recess or you will have a hole in the bottom from your worm wood screw. Love the dish it held together a lot has to be said for CA glue. Love koa wood.
Thanks for the show.
Joel
Thanks for your help with the yelling, Joel! 😊
A lovely square dish with beautiful grain and chatoyance five stars
😊
I love Koa. It is beautiful when it's shined up.
For sure! 😊
Absolutely gorgeous. It turned out fantastic. It's an elegant, timeless piece, and the chatoyance is fabulous.
😊
Very well done Phil. Howard Feed and Wax was the perfect match for the KOA.
Glad you agree, Scott, thanks! 😊
Wow! I’m just as amazed every time. The shine in this wood is so nice. I love the simplicity of the shape and that you kept it square instead of grinding it down to a round platter. Just lovely! ❤
Thank you very much, Trincia! 😊
You are such a God given talent! Each time I watch you work the outcome is always superlative!
I want Each turning!

Thank you, Colleen! 😊
I appreciate you going through your thought process as you go from step to step.
Good to know, James, thank you! 😊
KOA has the most amazing shitoiance. 😊❤ Thank you for being an excellent and informative teacher while turning this difficult piece. 🎉
😊
That's a very nice piece Phil! The shape is so simple yet really elegant, I love the way it reflects the light as you move it. ...and now I know that's called chatoyance, 😊my new word for the day. Thank you for sharing your gift with us!
I'm glad you could see it, Lorelyn! 😊
After watching you do this, I went out to my throw aways and pulled out a piece of maple pith about the same size. I now have a really nice square maple "plate". You've inspired me over the last few years since I started wood turning to test my limits... I was even able to keep the bark on. thanks.
That is awesome! 😊 Thank you for watching and commenting!
A glorious result. I could gaze for hours at Koa and Walnut.
😊
Thank You Phil, Thank You Rick Chapman... OMG that KOA finish after the Howard Feed & Wax is quite an impressive combination. Always fun watching you turn and figure out how to approach the proclivities of each piece ... TM😎
Ohhh, proclivities, such a big word, I gotta go look it up! LOL! Thank you, Tuffy! 😊
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Soooooo, confident enuf now to tackle the “Big Koa”? You know you want to!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Haha, maybe someday, Valerie! It it had some voids and bark on it, I'd be all over it! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I have lots of pretty wood with bark and inclusions. Wanna trade? 🤣🤣🤣
@@valeriehenschel1590 Nope!
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It’s okay, I have some small Koa to play with!
Great little plate. I'm so glad it missed the burn pile.
Me too, Jean! 😊
Beautiful dish, beautiful wood, and, as always, perfectly crafted. But noone taught anyone a lesson, it was just perfect interaction ! Thanks for that and cheers from northern germany.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching, Stefan! 😊
Very beautiful piece. Fortunate that you decided to turn it. Thank you Phil.
😊
I’ve never even seen KOA in Australia, it reminds me a little of Burmese teak which is also rare as hens teeth now.
What a beautiful square bowl Phil.
I’m glad you turned this like you did, very very nice.
Thank you, Greg! 😊
Nice piece. Very modern looking, something you would see in a top tier boutique. ❤
Thank you! 😊
I have watched this video twice now. I don't seem to be able to convince you Phil that you can come up with a design when turning non organic shaped wood. This is a delightful little square tray from a piece of pith that did behave itself for you. There is nothing to fault in this piece & the Feed n Wax finish is superb. Stay safe & well, Don from South Aust.
Thank you, my friend! 😊
That turned into a beautiful piece and yes, that chatoyance came through! That's really gorgeous wood.
Yes! Thank you! 😊
Love the reflection on that wood, Phil that’s beautiful.👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Koa is gorgeous wood!
I haven't seen too much Koa in my life,definitely less common than other exotics.
😊
Holy chatoyancy! That pith turned out to be beautiful!!👍👍
Thank you! Cheers! 😊
Hello Phil, thank you for agreeing to work with an off-cut. That Koa wood is so lovely, it would be a shame to let it go to waste. Perhaps because I've not done woodturning, with pith or anything else, I was supremely confident that you would make something beautiful. And hey, a lesson was learned. Fine work, as always. Look forward to seeing you again next Thursday.
Thank you, Deirdre! 😊
As usual you scored a hit again Phil. I live in Hawaii and I get to turn Koa all the time. I too get lots of tear out on two sides of the pieces. Nothing some 80 grit can't fix. Aloha!
That pith really didn't like the scraper, I should have just stuck to the gouge. Next time! 😊
Absolutely gorgeous!!! Phil, once again you've made a great piece!!! Stunning!!!👍🙂
Thanks, Ron! 😊
Phill we enjoy Its Beautiful Thank You Susie and Howard La Pine Oregon
Thanks to you both! 😊
OH my goodness... another absolutely gorgeous piece... I have not seen you do something I don't love... so it's not surprising...
Thank you, Celia! 😊
This is one of your absolute best. Beautiful piece! With a Howards finish, too. Thank you!!!
😊
You did a good job Phil especially working outside your comfort zone! I really do agree with you about using a cloth though - it's easy enough to be careful and apply some common sense and a cloth works so much better that kitchen towel!
Good to see you havin fun, this wood is gorgeous - don't blame you for keeping it!
So true! Thank you! 😊
🙋♂️🏴 Hi Phil you created a beautiful bowl I loved the end result. I was amazed that you were able to keep it in one piece.
Thanks, John! 👍
well, it did not blow up. I watched in anticipation and the only thing that happened is you made another wonderful piece. I am glad you turned it. Furthermore, I think we all may have learned something from this.
I sure did, Fred, thanks! 😊
She’s another beauty, Phil. Yes, I did guess what the finish was going to be. I thought it was the obvious choice, buddy. I hope you enjoyed turning it as much as I enjoyed watching you do it. 😎😎😎
Take care,
…..Gord
Glad we were on the same page for the finish, Gord. It's really great for something like this. Hope you are doing well, my friend! Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated! 😊
It’s a sweet little dish. Perfect for a few pretty rocks or shells or whatever. 🙂
😊
Well...I've learned my lesson. It's just lovely, Phil..
Me too, Karen! 😊
I've always liked Koa and you did it justice.
😊
Probable junk to jewel again! Time for a "butt ugly impossible piece of wood" challenge series. You're definitely up to it.
Thanks, Joseph! 😊
Phil another beautiful piece of art. I thought it was a good looking piece of wood but when you put finish on it WOW it looks beautiful. Again thanks for sharing with your RUclips family
Thank you, Doug! 😊
Holy Barkless Wonder! Must have felt strange turning something without bark Phil but it sure is a beautiful piece. Bet there are a lot of pith blanks that will make it to a lathe now after seeing this one.
That Koa is out of this world pretty.
Well done buddy
Gary
It sure did turn out better than I had hoped, Gary. Hard to go wrong with Koa, though. Thank you my friend! 😊
I absolutely love how this turned out! Extremely simple.clean design (but I know it was not as simple to turn). Great job, Phil! 👍
Thanks a bunch, Tom! 😊
I always find the invisible wood turning (5:00) fascinating.
LOL! Me too! 😊
Hi 👋, Phil from Phil, I hope you are all keeping safe and well, Great looking 👀 dish beautiful grain , I have a off cut of Rosewood that looks very similar, I look forward to seeing your next project, Phil from the moulin France.
Never turned Rosewood, I bet that's pretty, Phil! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop , Hi 👋 Phil, yes the colours in rosewood are amazing, I think that I might have said before, back in the late
80s early 90s I make a Rosewood Bar , the top , I book matched the top with 1/4 Rosewood. The colours init from deep purple green blue even orange, then in 1999, I had to make 2 to 3000 peppermills , black wood, rosewood, walnut, the bottom of them had a pure silver ring fitted and hallmarked for the millennium, 2000. I still have some off cut, I think there is some large peace’s back in the Uk in my container, which I hoping to get later in the year, It a pity I don’t have your email address I could send you some pics, stay safe, Phil from the moulin France
Phil ....keep taking the pith!!!! ......thanks for sharing.
😊
What a beautiful dish, that wood is absolutely gorgeous, well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thank you, Al! 😊
Very, very nice. Well done excellent finish. Simple yet elegant. I love it. 👍👍👍
Thank you very much, Steve! 😀
Another nice turn, I’m glad you squared up to the challenge.
😊
Mask and Face Shield on!! It's cool how you're excited about wearing the proper gear.
😊
You ended up with a bonus beautiful tray out of the Koa😊 Great job, Phil!
😊
Very nice platter Phil looks great. We watch all your vidios
Thanks
David and Maria Wise
And I appreciate that, thank you so much! 😊
Lovely little tray, Phil! That wood is gorgeous, and it looks like your finish is superb. I’m glad you decided to “teach us a lesson”! 😊
Thank you very much! 😊
Glad you turned it. It came out beautifully. Thank you for sharing.
😊
Another great piece Phil. Thank you...now go cut a piece of cheddar cheasse and an apple to place on this beautiful tray and kick back.🍎
😊
Was worried myself that the crack would just let loose. But yet another gorgeous piece. Keep up the amazing work. 👽
😊
I’ll be darned. It worked out great 👍👍👍
Surprised me, too, Steve! 😊
That looks AMAZING.... the grain is so beautiful ...Thank you so much for sharing 😊💙
Thanks, Heather! 😊
Stunning piece!! Sure hope you aren't being threatened by the wildfires, and the smoke is blowing away from you.
Thanks, Vicki! So far, my area has not been affected at all. 😊
that wood is beautiful. i would call it a trinket dish for watch, keys, change etc........
😊
Beautiful platter Phil! Thank you for sharing. Take care. Much ❤
Thank you, G G G! 😊
Beautiful wood we really fell in love with the Koa Tree while visiting recently.
😊
Beautiful grain. Well done as usual. Thanks for taking on the challenge.
You bet, thanks for watching, Bob! 😊
"Chatoyance" That word again! The only people I have ever heard use that word is you Phil, and Tom Johnson, Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration. Gotta love RUclipsrs.
It's a cool word and a cool effect. Thank you! 😊
Beautiful! I’m glad you didn’t give up on that piece of wood!
Thank you, Mabel! 😊
Really nice Phil, I always enjoy your videos. I am trying to catch up while I eat lunch at work! Thank you.
Lunch time entertainment, I love that, thanks, Anita! 😊
Great dish, love your design. Not bad for a fish out of water😃😃🥂
Thank you, Johan! 😊
Your a brave man! Turned out beautiful and your not hurt so it's a great success!
😊
Good morning, Phil.
Definitely a beautiful wood and you made a wonderful piece. I think it's good to travel just out of our comfort zone occasionally. Hope summer has been enjoyable for you.
Starting to get too warm, Ray! 😊
Man that wood has a crazy almost pearlescent quality...
😊
Beautiful tray thing of a bob, the wood is beautiful. Nice work Phil
Thanks, Doc! 😊
More Scandinavian woodworking. Great job!
😊
It is a beautiful wood. Im glad you took a chance on it.
😊
Another fantastic piece. For the record, I called that you were going to use the feed and wax. 😊 That grain is amazing. I'm picturing fruit sitting on that.
Haha, good for you figuring out the finish! 😊
Nice piece. Very fine grain. Like the finish you used too. Great job Phil! Thanks for the video. Dan
Thanks for watching, Dan! 😊
That is beautiful wood. I think it’s funny. You can’t even tell unless you care from the side that it tapers in like a small platter. You always do such good work. Thank you for continuing to put amazing product out.
Thank you so much, Lynda! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Have you ever turned pecan wood?
@@lyndaowen2154 I don't recall ever turning it, Lynda. I think it might be like Walnut but lighter color?
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop if you don’t mind telling me how to and where to send some I’ll send you a chunk. Since I don’t know what Walnut looks like as of yet, I couldn’t answer that.
@@lyndaowen2154 Oh, how kind of you, Lynda! Please reach me via the email address on my About tab: www.youtube.com/@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop/about
Glad you turned it, Phil! It's beautiful! And that curl... just wow!
I know, it's a special wood to be sure. Thanks, Billy! 😊
That's beautiful, Phil. Maybe the ripples didn't happen on the top because it was just a little farther from the center. Yes, I guessed Howards. Now you can pile Hershey's kisses on it.
Bill
Ummm, I love those! 😊
Awesome as always Phil. Sometimes you have to turn the pith out of it.
You got that right! 😊
A lot of great teaching points on this video for me. Thanks once again. Beautiful work!
Cool, thanks, Mark! 😊
Nice Phil. You just continue to amaze us between the many wonderful projects. Nice platter.
Thank you, Kevin! 😊
Oh , Instructor Phil at your best. Simple straight forward teaching. It is a beautiful huh, huh platter, plate! Fantastic wood too. Now I’ve had my weekly dose of wood therapy with Dr. Phil. Thank you.
Thanks a lot, Kid! 😊
Spoiler Alert: It's gorgeous.
Haha, thanks, Scott! 😊
