It is another piece of Arizona Desert Mesquite Phil. Glad to see you turn it. Sorry I was too sick to talk to you when you called. I am doing much better now. Ted
That's a very beautiful piece. I never realized mesquite was such a cool looking wood; my only exposure to it is in pellet form in my smoker. Thanks for sharing!
Hi 👋, Phil, From the COOL Dude 😂, I hope you and your family and friends had a great Christmas, 🎅, another piece of mesquite, wood, turning sculpture, ART , truly amazing grain, that shellac definitely brings out the grain, I/We look 👀 forward to seeing you next year carry on with your audition of creating pieces of art, I take this opportunity to wish you and your family and friends. Happy New Year,🥳 , Phil from the Moulin Rouge 💃🏻🍷, France .
Hi Phil, What a real beauty this is. Gotta love Mesquite. Sorry for the short comment to start with. I was somewhere that I could not watch with sound but home now and watched it again. So much better to hear it with the sound of the gouge but even better your voice talking to the piece and us at the same time. Cool turning my friend, Gary
Wonderful grain!!! Always nice to find another wood with incredible grain and color. And yes, I was one of the voices to keep the wood sticking up. : ) The finished bowl is 'yummy/wow' Thank you.
I wonder how long God had that bowl hiding in there, just waiting for you to come along and uncover it. All I can say is that between the two of you, that is one gorgeous piece of wood! Great job Phil, I love it. Rick
One of the nice things about getting old is no matter how many times you watch a video... it's just like watching for the first time! Lmao 🤣 but beautiful piece!
When a beautiful pice is made like this. I can't help but think how many beautiful projects are burt so we can eat steak or stay warm. Another amazing job. Thanks for taking us along 👍.
Thank You Phil, Thank You Ted Helvig, Thank You Darren Helvig...Mesquite sounds right but whatever it is Phil I would like to see you receive a whole truckload of that beautiful wood!!!...I will be looking forward to you turning the other half. Until next Thursday.. TM
Beautiful work Phil. You always do a great job of balancing the craftsmanship you put into a piece while maintaining its natural beauty. You never over work a piece. Love this creation, great job.
Wow the color light and dark the gain it has it all. This is a wonderful project. I’m glad you kept the high points. One thing I noticed with Mesquite is how dusty it is as you turned it. Glad you wear a mask as you turn. Love this bowl Phil. Thanks for the show. Joel
Hi Phil this bowl has everything going for it colour, wonderful grain, the light and dark edges. It was magnificent and unique you are a masterwoodturner. Amanda xx
That has some of the most beautiful grain I've ever seen and you found it inside that dry old hunk of wood. I will never BBQ with it again and not think of what it could have been. Again job well done just fantastic . Stay safe and well. Dennis
I see Ted identified it but it reminded me of the snowdrop trees we have around campus where I work. They have a hundred tiny burns up and down the trunk. They look really fun to play with.
Probably Mesguite but who cares. It is so beautiful it doesn't matter. I love the character of the top edge. Just a gorgeous piece of art to behold! Thanks Phil!
Phil, Another piece of gorgeous! Thank you. I’m all smiles and that’s the only way to be after a maker’s video 😋. Keep the aspidistra flying! God bless, Paul
Доброго времени суток, Фил. Скульптура ваяется очень просто, берётся глыба мрамора, и отсекается всё лишнее. Так и Вы. Берёте заготовку и обтачивание всё лишнее. Отличная чаша, не обычный цвет древесины. Сучки дали оригинальное расположение волокон древесины. У мен просто нет слов. Вы настоящий мастер. Спасибо за видео. Всех благ Вам в жизни.
21:08 Yes 😊 very nice grai and color, nice finish also. You are the person that I watched and when I retired I bought a wood lathe. Thank you so much for inspiring me to get into the world of woodturning 😊
I do like the girthy pieces with more natural surfaces... Like the recent one you felt you ruined... I loved it!!! And I like this one also! Thanx again for sharing! Preciate you ✌😎👍
Hey Phil, I'm with you on that being mesquite. I live in Central Texas, work with mesquite occasionally and have turned some of it as well. I appreciate and enjoy your videos. Needless to say I've learned a lot from you, Thanks again, Rick
Just wonderful! We have some acreage in Texas and, since we were raising Longhorn cattle, all of the mesquites were removed. After seeing this it would have been great to have saved some to send to you! Because you worked your magic, this bowl turned out to really be something special. It gave me a whole new respect for “undesirable trees” ! Barbara
I used to live in Wichita Falls and would periodically see some rancher having the mesquite drug off his place. A chain stretched between two bulldozers. A hated trash tree to everybody but those of us who would smoke meat with nothing else besides mesquite and now...a prized wood for turning. I've picked mesquite from the drag piles and turned some of the roughest wood Texas produced into some really beautiful pieces. One mans trash tree is another mans gold. lol
This is a masterpiece, done by a master. Thank you so much. Bought myself a record lathe yesterday. You really inspires me. Watch your videos till late. My wife also adores your work. Keep up the neat products!
Good morning Phil, You said it "It's a beauty". I have never turned Mesquite but would love to at some point as the grain is amazing. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw 🫖🫖🫖🫖
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Haha, so you know it rains quite a bit here in the UK and especially in Wales. There is an Exotic wood supplier I have bought from before when he sourced me a 6x6x2 piece of Osage Orange, I ask him if he has some or can get some. Cheers, Huw
Superb , and we were definitely correct to tell you to leave those high points alone ! And what a grain and finish ! Love all those swirling bronzes and golds . I've got some similar wood , some type of Far East Teak imported as a table base , an old root . Has a similar swirling wood but with reds as well . Pleasure to watch and listen as always . 😊
I watch your vidieos mostly to see how most of turnings will be mountedand what beauty you willsqueez out of blank. You do fantastic art pieces. Keep n keepin on. Thank you from Mitch K.
That is an amazing piece, live edge and grain, high points are great, I love the idea of including an original piece of the wood in the bowl. All the best to you Phil. Regards Jim
Oh my, now that's a bit special Phil. Isn't the grain gorgeous? I could look at it for hours finding all the faces in the different angles of the edges. Can't wait to see it's other half.👍
Beautiful wood and an added bonus Phil if you mess up a project. I think mesquite is one of the best woods for smoking meat. Nothing is wasted. I smoke a roast when I can get mesquite to do it. Love your work!
A lovely piece of wood. And you made it beautiful indeed. The grain is outstanding, like the live edge. Thanks for sharing all your hard work with us.🌿 ☀☀☀☀☀ 🕊
I’ve got a friend who managed to find a couple of mesquite boards large enough for a bass fretboard. Wouldn’t mind finding a few of those myself. Beautiful wood.
Howdy Phil!! Great Job on that piece! I'm glad you listened to us and kept the two high points. Be Safe and stay healthy! If you don't make another video this year, then Happy New Year!! I look forward to many videos in 2024!! Feeling totally cool as your subscriber!
It’s always a pleasure watching you find the very most beautiful hidden grain and shape in each piece of ordinary seeming wood chunk. Even then it’s often not until you apply the finish that the grain really pops! Thank you! 💕👌🫶🏻👍💕
I like those high points, I’d call them ruffles. I just came back from a visit to the Canadian Rockies so I’m all into high points. Mother Nature has given us some wonderful designs and you have enhanced her work.
Beautiful piece Phil; keeping those peaks was the right thing to do. If you had removed them, you'd have had to remove all of the edge because it just wouldn't look right. If I were a betting man, I would put money on this being mesquite. We don't have a lot of trees here in the desert in Arizona, but mesquite and ironwood are among those that we do have. I have several pieces I've turned from downed mesquite and it has the same figure and colors for the heartwood and sapwood. In my opinion, mesquite is a highly under-rated wood; it has such stunning grain and figure. That second piece should be awesome, it looks like it might have some burl in it. I was recently gifted a very large ironwood root stump; it's going to have to season for a while, but I'm really looking forward to getting to turn it. Let me know if you'd like a piece of it and we can figure something out.
Très joli. Very pretty. ....Well, I think I need to fast for a week now. The turkey dressing was delicious. Not used to the no-snow in late December. Trèz weird.
Hi Phil. I have been away from the lathe and videos for about 6 months due to a move. Everything in storage but now coming back to life. Left the same message for Gary yesterday as both of you are favourites turners of mine and of course I am regular viewer and subscriber. Should be up and running by mid - Jan. Just wanted to say "Hi" and wish you a happy new year as I look forward to watching your tutorials in the near future. Happy New Year, Regards Dennis
Mesquite is a beautiful wood. Furniture from it is rare and very expensive. The grounds keeper cut down a dead mesquite from the common area and residents were waiting for him to cut it up so they could get a piece. The only thing e threw way were the branches. Tat is an absolutely beautiful bowl. You have an eye for detail.
What a grand piece to finish 2023 with, some lovely markings and grain in there. The live edge certainly brings out the shape as well. Wishing you Happy New Year from Lincolnshire UK
What fantastic grain, and a great final result! Being from the other side of the pond I wouldn’t presume to comment on the species, so I’ll go along with you on that!
Wow, what a beautiful piece! The wood has so much shine and glitter it looks metallic. I'm glad you left the high parts, they add so much character. Thank you for another great turning! 🎉
🙋♂️🏴 Hi Phil it's a mystery to me what the wood is but the end result is just amazing beautiful colours and grains. Thanks Phil have a great new year see you in 2024.
Smashing looking piece, gorgeous grain too. Glad you left the high sides, I'm guessing you heard us shouting in unison haha
Yup, you all sounded off just beautifully and loudly! 😃
It is another piece of Arizona Desert Mesquite Phil. Glad to see you turn it. Sorry I was too sick to talk to you when you called. I am doing much better now. Ted
Hey Ted, glad to hear you are feeling better.
Hey, I guessed right! Thank you, Ted, it's a beautiful piece! I'm so glad you are feeling better! 😃
That's absolutely beautiful Phil!!! I have never had an opportunity to turn Mesquite maybe one day !Happy wood turning to you from Ducklake Maine!!!👍
That's a very beautiful piece. I never realized mesquite was such a cool looking wood; my only exposure to it is in pellet form in my smoker. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Phil,
What a real beauty this is. Gotta love Mesquite.
Sorry for the short comment to start with. I was somewhere that I could not watch with sound but home now and watched it again. So much better to hear it with the sound of the gouge but even better your voice talking to the piece and us at the same time. Cool turning my friend,
Gary
Thank you, buddy! Please take good care of yourself, my friend! I like hearing your voice, too! 😃
As another Arizonan, I agree with Mesquite. The wild grain depicts the survival of the tree through terrific desert challenges!
Agreed, I know the climate helps with the tight grain, too! 😊
Valerie's mantra is "Make it thinner!" But you be you.
😃
Wonderful grain!!! Always nice to find another wood with incredible grain and color.
And yes, I was one of the voices to keep the wood sticking up. : )
The finished bowl is 'yummy/wow'
Thank you.
Thank you very much, Chuck! 😊
I wonder how long God had that bowl hiding in there, just waiting for you to come along and uncover it. All I can say is that between the two of you, that is one gorgeous piece of wood! Great job Phil, I love it. Rick
Thanks, Rick! I'm having a hard time holding off on turning the other half of this! 😊
One of the nice things about getting old is no matter how many times you watch a video... it's just like watching for the first time! Lmao 🤣 but beautiful piece!
Haha, so true! I'm always half way through a movie when I start to think, "maybe I've seen this one before." 😀
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop lol yep
When a beautiful pice is made like this. I can't help but think how many beautiful projects are burt so we can eat steak or stay warm. Another amazing job. Thanks for taking us along 👍.
So true! 😃
Thank You Phil, Thank You Ted Helvig, Thank You Darren Helvig...Mesquite sounds right but whatever it is Phil I would like to see you receive a whole truckload of that beautiful wood!!!...I will be looking forward to you turning the other half. Until next Thursday..
TM
Yeah, it's some beautiful wood for sure, Tuffy! A truckload sounds good to me! LOL! Thank you, my friend! 😃
You were right, Phil, it is beautiful. Great job of turning, buddy! Looking forward to next week.
Take care,
.....Gord
Thank you, my friend! 😊 May the new year bring you good health and good times!
Beautiful work Phil. You always do a great job of balancing the craftsmanship you put into a piece while maintaining its natural beauty. You never over work a piece. Love this creation, great job.
Thank you, Jaydee! 😊
Hi Phil, I'm away seeing family in my RV over Christmas, I just popped in to watch this beautiful piece, it's truly lovely thank you. Graham UK
Ahhh, love a good RV road trip, Graham. Thank you and enjoy! 😃
Wow the color light and dark the gain it has it all. This is a wonderful project. I’m glad you kept the high points. One thing I noticed with Mesquite is how dusty it is as you turned it. Glad you wear a mask as you turn. Love this bowl Phil.
Thanks for the show.
Joel
Yeah, the grain is so tight it's hard to get shavings, mostly just dust. The mask helps! Thanks, Joel! 😃
Hi Phil this bowl has everything going for it colour, wonderful grain, the light and dark edges. It was magnificent and unique you are a masterwoodturner. Amanda xx
Thank you, Amanda! 😊 Cheers!
That has some of the most beautiful grain I've ever seen and you found it inside that dry old hunk of wood. I will never BBQ with it again and not think of what it could have been. Again job well done just fantastic .
Stay safe and well.
Dennis
Right on, Dennis! Maybe it will make the meat taste even better or, at least look great! 😊
I see Ted identified it but it reminded me of the snowdrop trees we have around campus where I work. They have a hundred tiny burns up and down the trunk. They look really fun to play with.
It was fun to play with, Archie! LOL!
Probably Mesguite but who cares. It is so beautiful it doesn't matter.
I love the character of the top edge. Just a gorgeous piece of art to behold!
Thanks Phil!
Thank you, Bob! 😃
Wow, beautiful is right, Phil. That would look just right on any mantel. Keep them coming....Dan.
Thanks, Dan! 😃
Happy you left the high edges. Just beautiful gratin. I'll be back home in two weeks to watch you live.
Thank you, Russ! 😃
Mesquite, maybe. Mystique, maybe. The finish made the grain pop!
😃
Phil,
Another piece of gorgeous! Thank you. I’m all smiles and that’s the only way to be after a maker’s video 😋.
Keep the aspidistra flying!
God bless,
