Well now...this was interesting. I knew I was going to say nice looking grain. But when you showed it at the end I was blown away. It's not a bowl or a platter or any conventional turning with some sort of a utilitarian use. What it is is ART pure art at its finest. I know people that would absolutely love to have it. The grain is very nice but that bark sets it off and the areas with the groves look like you designed it that way. Wait you did! I especially like the one that just ends. Oh and the end that looks like 2 logs is another great feature. Seriously Phil I love it. Gary
Wow! Thank you Gary, for the best comment I've received on ANY of my videos! I feel like you truly understand what I was trying to do, here. It was kind of a gamble on this plum wood because I like it so much and didn't want to screw it up, but some how, it worked out in the end. Thank you again, Gary! You've made my day! Phil
Plum Crazy is an appropriate name for that creation. It sort of reminds me of the live edge bowl my grandparents would put out at the holidays to hold all the different nuts that were still in their shells. Fill that center with a variety of nuts and use the outer rings to keep the nutcrackers and pics to get into the shells. Regardless, there are no mistakes only experiments and learning. Thanks for not giving up on it and sticking with it. It looks great.
Phil, I am a novice turner with loads of sanding under my belt and I've turned several pieces like your "bad dream" and I use the pads wrapped around a 2 inch paint brush with great results and intact fingertips. I'm a big fan and have learned so much watching your videos. I also try to leave it as natural as possible. It took retirement to return to a passion I learned in high school and started my own little venture called nakid grandpa woodworks here in Virginia Beach.......turning and learning.....bill
Thanks Bill! I turned a similar bowl to this one and tried the sandpaper wrapped around the paint brush trick. I don't know what kind of pieces "like" this one you have turned but these live edge and natural edge pieces do not do well with that trick. If you have a nice even round bowl in the middle, it probably works great but on natural edge, not so much.
Talk about an edge of the seat viewing experience! Held my breath a few times on that one, Phil. 😳 I love the beauty and symmetry of more traditional turnings, but it's the thinking-out-of-the-box deviations from the norm that really make me perk up and pay attention! This one did in spades. You've inspired me to take another look at some of the more "unorthodox" pieces of wood lying around my shop and think about fresh approaches to finally getting around to using them. Well done! 👍
This is my all time favorite turning, Geezer. Something about that day that just caused me to think outside the box a little more than usual. I'm glad you like it and will take a close look at some unique pieces of wood to challenge you. Have fun with it! 😀
Hi Phil. I meant to mention in my last comment. In the past when I faced the dilemma of sanding in tight places that do not allow fingers, I have used rubber hose (1/4, 3/8 and 1/2) diameter with sand paper wrapped over one end and taped on the other. This rubber hose allows the sandpaper to move with the contour of the area to be sanded without damaging fingers. Mostly I use the clear hose that is a little firmer, but I also have use the more soft black rubber hose as well. Hope this helps, Jerry
I appreciate the help, Jerry. The problem is, I'm guessing you are talking about nice round bowls and your suggestions would be very helpful with those. I turned another somewhat similar bowl after this one. Lots of people had lots of suggestions on how to get in there and I tried some of them. None of them work on a bowl with natural edges. The irregular edges come around and just tear up whatever you are using. It just takes lots of hand sanding with the piece not spinning to solve the issue. 😊
I love it. I love how you talk to yourself- to us -the universe. I love how you make a decision and just do it. This is NOT a nightmare creation. To me it's an AWE creation. I love how you're not afraid to try something different and look what happened. Just a gorgeous piece. I think your handle should be - "Wood Whisperer "
Thank you, Glenda! This is my all time favorite. It has occupied the same space on an end table since I turned it a few years ago. It does get a lot of comments from visitors. Sometimes we just get lucky, ya know!
Well it's Sunday night at the movies and it's just great. I like ths project.I t is CD different,but remember beauty is in the eye oof the beholder. Iluearn something every time I watch your videos. That's one of the reasons I watch all I can find. Please keep them coming.
I have to say Phil it's different but unique and the grain in that plum wood is beautiful so I have to say beauty and the beast!!! Happy turning to you Phil!👍
My wife and I have been enjoying your videos for several months now. Like so many other commentators we appreciate your sharing of the process as you shape a piece. Sometimes I yell at you to do it differently:-). And when you finish, I love what you have chosen to do. This is a fantastic piece. I can see why it is still a favorite even four years after you created it.
You Sir are definitely a favorite and Your commentaries are fruitful and very humorous Love Your style and Your Beautiful work. I tip my hat to You Sir.
You really surprise me, Phil: you were capable to obtain a shape pretty interesting and original from that long piece of wood. Now, the finishing play a big part on the general beauty! ...Nice, really nice, Phil...
I see a new species of plant life, it is so organic it appears to be growing still. I don't agree about a Bad dream, unusual but not bad. Great job bringing it out!
For what it is worth, this creation is an absolute world class masterpiece !! In my opinion, by far the most creative, interesting work of art that Phil has ever created. The end result is an absolutely stunning concept. This is my favorite kind of work, something that is different and creative. 100% kudos to you Phil on this one, I think you might have even outdone yourself. This is definitely not a bad dream, but a "Heavenly Inspiration" to all of us woodworkers who strive to deliver the beauty of nature. Thanks Phil.
Good Evening , Phil I wouldn't call that piece ODD ! I would rather call it Very Unique Piece ! I look forward to watching your videos and just the way you present yourself and how you explain everything step by step! You are a pleasure to watch and listen to ! Take Care and Be Safe !
It’s always a pleasure to see someone turn something totally different and to follow your journey through each piece. Also congrats on 2k subscribers it feels like yesterday there was only a handful of us!
@@andycohen5308 and I appreciate those early viewers, sooo much! It gave me a reason to keep going, knowing someone was watching. Thank you, again, Andy, for sticking with me. I really appreciate your time and comments!

I like it. Looks like it would be a great mixed nut bowl. And the grooves outside the bowl for the nut shells. Would be awesome center piece for the holidays.
Boy, Phil, you really turned a bad dream bowl into a beautiful work of art. You managed to really bring an odd shaped piece into something quite interesting. Bravo!!!
While it was still on the lathe at the end it reminded me of a totem pole part, like an eye. Don't too much care about its usefulness, love its beauty! Such pretty wood.
Well Phil, you can't be the only odd one. Would you believe that when I look at it from the end of the 2 branches, I see a torso with the belly hollowed out for some type of snack food. Beautiful as always and plum is an amazingly beautiful wood.
You are not wrong, Paula! From that angle it does indeed look very much like you describe. I'm so glad you like it, it's my personal favorite. Thank you! 😊
It looks kind of like an emerging bowl piece with a bit of water splash rings added in maybe. It is definitely interesting and I'm sure your cat would love chasing a ball bearing around it ;)
That's a great description, Elizabeth, thank you! Actually, this has turned into my favorite piece and the cat is just gonna have to entertain himself! Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment! Phil
Hi Phil . I did have my doubts early on but wow you made it come very good in the end .I would be proud to have that sitting on my side board at home .well done Sir .keep the wood turning.Doug Parr
Hi Phil! This old video just popped up for me. I love it very much. One of the first large bowls I made was more or less like what you did but it was a combination chip and dip bowl. With the smaller bowl for dip emerging out of the chip bowl. The outer bowl was about 13 or 14 inches across and around 5 inches deep. The smaller bowl was around 4 inches across and deep enough that a little glass bowl could sit inside to hold dip. Wish I had remembered to take a picture before I gave it away. I think it was made from walnut. Anyway thanks for the video, I really do love the “bad dream” bowl! Cheers, Rick
This is an oldie, Rick. I made a similar piece to what you are describing and gave it to my daughter. I'm pleased she actually uses it! Thanks a lot, buddy! 😊
I don’t know what to call it but I envision the outer ring filled with large shrimp and the center with a nice cocktail sauce for them. Loved the piece it is definitely different. Glad to see you didn’t loose a finger too. 😀
I liked your turning. I have a piece that is a lot like that and now I am going to try it. It is smaller but, I hope it turns out as well as yours. Thank you for your showing us it can be done. Nona
Hey there Phil I don’t remember remarking on this before but it’s fantastic and reminds me of the Flintstones of course, and you could use it on the centre of a table to put a hot dish on there on a coffee table when you got friends round. I actually love it. It’s one of the best things For its ingenuity and one off Manship that I think you ever made 😊🎉😊 😊 also great for your man cave of course❤️❤️
I’ve just looked at your video again and you might have been a bit confused as to wondering why I said it looks like Fred Flintstones car and that’s just because I thought I saw in part of the video so wheels on the bottom of it how stupid is that? But I was tired when I did it that’s in my defence but obviously it has no wheels LOL.
Great piece! Outside ring could gave dried flowers, the inside ring bite veggies to dip into a delicious sauce contained in a separate glass bowl so there is no interaction with the wood finish. 👍👍👍👍👍
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I did it yesterday. It was very challenging. I used an 11 inch piece of walnut. That is too short, but it worked. Thanks again
Glad you stuck with it. You ended up with a pretty amazing piece. Just a thought on sanding the groves. Years ago when I did auto body work, we would wrap the sandpaper around various sizes of rubber hose to sand narrower concave areas. Anyway thanks for a very interesting video.
Phil, you really did a great job on this creation. I love how you think out loud and work through your thought process. That is some really beautiful wood too. The way the dark and light grain just snapped when you put the sealer on. Really fine job sir! Nicely done, didn't look to easy either.
I know this video is a couple years old, but I'm just now seeing it. I think it's super awesome & a beautiful piece of art! I love the more odd turnings & carvings. I really dig the finish too!
Ya, I suppose that rescue shelters would be pretty picky. Maybe they could be composted. Here in Calgary the city picks up garden waste, tree trimmings, Christmas trees etc and I think all that goes through a chipper and gets composted. I'll have to check to see I suppose, but here in the City I dont have many options for disposing of large quantities of wood chips, we only get 1 recycle bin of stuff per week, and wood turning will certainly clog that up....
This is an awesome piece. Great look and really like the unique design. I am new to turning again. It has been many years that I have done any turning and always looking for pointers. I have retired and this will be something to fill in some days when I am not welding in my shop or many other things. I have a variety of hobbies.
Thank you, Michael, I'm glad you like it! You have the right idea about being retired and keeping your time filled with what you enjoy. That's what gets me out of bed each morning. Enjoy! Phil
Hey I have to say that this a most unusual piece but, I love it. It's great that you did not feel that you had turn the outside of the piece, what you have done by leaving it is to actually enhance the beauty of the bowl. The natural bark edges make a huge contribution to the finished bowl & enhance it. I believe the bowl would not have the same appeal if just left purely with the overall shape & the grain. This shape needs the third element in this instance. Beautiful piece of turning with a great finish. Again your commentary during production was brilliant, as usual so thanks a heap. Don
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I just read the comment from Gary & he is absolutely correct. As you know, I was a Senior Master of Art in South Australia & this would hold its head high anywhere as a pure piece of Art. Who cares if it does not conform to some preconception as a utilitarian bowl, it is a bowl but more than that it is a piece of Art in its own right. Congratulations Phil, well done. Don
I'm glad you like it, Carol! And, thank you for spelling plum correctly. I misspelled it on the bottom and didn't catch it until I was taking pictures! Phil
Phil this may be a bad dream but I think it is beautiful the way you show God's creations is a gift to all and I am sure you will get more subscribers ! I think it's one of your best! Thanks for your bad dreams!

looks likw I am a bit odd as well because I love the piece, so glad the bark stayed put, as I said before fruit woods always look good, nice one Phil.
This is my all time favorite piece, Lewis. I'm so glad you like it, too, thank you! 😊
Beautiful bowl, Phil. I love it 💞
Thank you so much, Georgina! 😊
Fantastic work,,,, very inspiring. Thank you for sharing
So nice of you, WW W! I'm glad you like it! 😅
It is very different but I like it, Phil. It would certainly be a talking piece for anyone having it on their sideboard or hall table.
It's my very favorite piece, Richard, I'm glad you like it, too, thanks!
Glad you stuck with it. You ended up with a pretty amazing piece. Just a thought on sanding the groves. Years ago when I did auto body work, we would wrap the sandpaper around various sizes of rubber hose to sand narrower concave areas. Anyway thanks for a very interesting video.
That's a really great idea, Duane, thank you! And, thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated!

Phil, you really did a great job on this creation. I love how you think out loud and work through your thought process. That is some really beautiful wood too. The way the dark and light grain just snapped when you put the sealer on. Really fine job sir! Nicely done, didn't look to easy either.
Awesome! Thank you, Jason! 😊
Truly delightful. I really like your Bad Dream bowl. Keep up the great work
It's my all time favorite, Alan, I'm glad you like it, too! 😊
Another master piece!! I love the grain on bother sides! It was in there just waiting for you to bring it out! Thanks for sharing.
😊
Holy smokes Phil! I have some oak from my dads property in east Texas that this idea might be perfect for. What a neat idea!
Cool, go for it, Nicole! 😊
I know this video is a couple years old, but I'm just now seeing it. I think it's super awesome & a beautiful piece of art! I love the more odd turnings & carvings. I really dig the finish too!
This is my all time favorite turning, Jessee. I'm so glad you like it, too! 😊
That's unique and beautiful.
My all time favorite, Ted, I'm glad you like it, too! 😊
Phil, you’re always saying you are not an artist, but this piece is so “artistic”. Thanks for showing how to let go and be creative.
Russ
If there is an exception to the not an artist claim, Russ, this is it. I did dream this one up, myself. Thank you!
Phil
Ya, I suppose that rescue shelters would be pretty picky. Maybe they could be composted. Here in Calgary the city picks up garden waste, tree trimmings, Christmas trees etc and I think all that goes through a chipper and gets composted. I'll have to check to see I suppose, but here in the City I dont have many options for disposing of large quantities of wood chips, we only get 1 recycle bin of stuff per week, and wood turning will certainly clog that up....
Phil, the perfect dip and chip tray!
Ah, yes, an evening favorite! Thank you, Paul!
Phil
Looks almost like an Eye or maybe an ash tray. Nice job!
Thank you! Cheers!
This is an awesome piece. Great look and really like the unique design. I am new to turning again. It has been many years that I have done any turning and always looking for pointers. I have retired and this will be something to fill in some days when I am not welding in my shop or many other things. I have a variety of hobbies.
Thank you, Michael, I'm glad you like it! You have the right idea about being retired and keeping your time filled with what you enjoy. That's what gets me out of bed each morning. Enjoy!
Phil
Lovely, beautiful, unusual, would show off beautifully as a table centerpiece.
Of all my turnings, Judit, this is my all time favorite. I'm so glad you like it too. Thank you! 😃😃
That is one of the nicest and most unusual bowl I have ever seen. It just works. Thanks for the video
Thank you very much, Huw! I'm really glad you like it and took your time to let me know!

@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Sorry about that, just found your channel this morning. Have subscribed so shorter delays in the future.
Love it 👍you have a lot of patience!
Thank you, William!
I think it's a spectacular artistic piece you did the wood justice
Really glad you like this, Mike, and happy you took your time to tell me!
Phil
Beautiful job. It looks fantastic....I like it.
Thank you, 196LT! It is my current favorite.
Phil
very nice bowl like those odd ones good job as usual
Thank you very much! 😊
Cocktail sauce in the middle and jumbo shrimp in the 2 grooves!! Looks super!!
It is a great looking piece if it never serves a purpose other than a conversation piece . Another great job well done Phil
I like the way you think, Art! I was thinking something kind of like that but I like your idea, better!
Phil
I'm so glad you like it, Roger! Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated!
Phil
Really like this piece.....Good job mate....
I'm so glad, Ian! Thanks for letting me know!
Phil
I interpret it as a water ripple. It’s lovely
My all time favorite, Tracy, I'm glad you like it, too! 😊
Hey I have to say that this a most unusual piece but, I love it. It's great that you did not feel that you had turn the outside of the piece, what you have done by leaving it is to actually enhance the beauty of the bowl. The natural bark edges make a huge contribution to the finished bowl & enhance it. I believe the bowl would not have the same appeal if just left purely with the overall shape & the grain. This shape needs the third element in this instance. Beautiful piece of turning with a great finish. Again your commentary during production was brilliant, as usual so thanks a heap. Don
This is my all time favorite piece, Don. I'm glad you love it, too!
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I just read the comment from Gary & he is absolutely correct. As you know, I was a Senior Master of Art in South Australia & this would hold its head high anywhere as a pure piece of Art. Who cares if it does not conform to some preconception as a utilitarian bowl, it is a bowl but more than that it is a piece of Art in its own right. Congratulations Phil, well done. Don
it would be nice if all bad dreams ended up that nice. Awesome job.
So glad you like it, David! Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated!
Phil
David Nelson you are a leader, and we all are privileged to follow. The Pied Piper of unique!
I like it...it is definitely unique...the plum wood is gorgeous!
I'm glad you like it, Carol! And, thank you for spelling plum correctly. I misspelled it on the bottom and didn't catch it until I was taking pictures!
Phil
Very COOL piece. In my head I kept saying "Emerging Bowl". You do a great job! Love the videos and they are helping me learn.
Thank you, Robbie! This is my favorite piece I've ever turned. So glad you are watching and commenting!
Phil
I like it. It’s unique for sure.
I'm really glad you like this one, Jim! Thank you for taking your time to tell me!
Phil
Pritty cool. Make a nice dish for nuts for the holidays
Thank you, David, for taking your time to watch and comment!
