"A rose by any other name..." Funny how we of the human species are programmed to attach a name to just about anything and everything. Useful, but in the end, I'd just label this a most beautiful example of what some mystery tree was generous enough to give us. Great job, Phil! 👍
Thanks for explaining everything it means a lot to me to learn and understand the process. The bowl is beautiful as usual. I love the shape and rich colors. It is a work of art!
Well belated Happy Birthday Phil, what a coincidence and a lovely symmetry too. They say you're as old as you feel...so I hope you feel 66 because I feel 77 lately! Glad you saw the sunset in the bowl too, it's lovely xxx
Looks good, the color is great! I didn't see what wood it is yet but maybe I missed the comment. Keep up the good work. Always look forward to what your next adventure is.
I have some locust and it does resemble it but mine hasn't cracked very much but it could be that mine hasn't dried enough yet. It would explain the hardness and need to continually sharpen too. If it's black locust it'll show under a black light. Mine shines like a disco under UV light. It's kind of strange how it glows
I like your decision to take that 1/8” off the thickness…love the live edge…regardless of what kind of wood it is, it’s another beauty…thanks for sharing…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The "Mystery Wood" bowl is beautiful, as usual. Arland Sanborn is my brother-in-law. He must know what wood it is. It really doesn't matter, because you were able to take it and make an art piece!
Whatever the wood becomes almost irrelevant now the bowl is finished. It is really a delightful piece from what looked like very hard wood. I think the grain, & the colour are quite stunning with just about the right amount of bark left to 'finish' off the piece. Thanks, as always, for a delightful visit to watch a master craftsman at work. Cheers mate, Don from South Aust.
Hello Phil, Wow, what a lovely finish it took. It just looks like it feels satiny smooth. I had just been ready to remind you that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I had just been about to suggest that if you were to donate this bowl to a charity auction, it surely would go home with someone who would delight in it. Then, you too saw the beauty in the bowl. Many thanks to Mr. Sandborn for sending the wood, and to you for showing us the turning of it.
Mystery wood, driving us all nuts trying to figure it out must be a crazy nut tree 😂, regardless it turned out great, well done Phil. All the best to you. Regards Jim
Well I don't know what kind of wood it is, but the cuttings sure did string out. Almost like turning plastic, very interesting. The grain looks really pretty finished up with a "Phil phinish"!! Very nice as always Phil, thanks for posting this one. Arland was my dads name, and is my middle name, not too common. Anyway, blessings to you as always Phil, you are a gifted individual, both in producing beautiful turnings, and entertaining videos. Thanks again, Rick.
Phil, I like how you shaped the bottom of the bowl. With a mortise, once you've finished sanding and finishing the inside of the bowl, you're done. No tenon to remove. And you can always refinish the bowl in the future if need be.
I looked out the window at my Bing Cherry tree. It's bark is smooth and a very light grey color. Looking the other direction at my apricot tree, it's bark looks much rougher more like the wood your turning. Other thought, The bark on my fruit-less Flowering Plum Tree look very similar to also to your turning. I really like the finished bowl.
Great piece Phil, ive had apple cherry plum and pear all crack just like that, but what ever it is it's got some lovely grain, you've done a grand job. All the best from Lincolnshire UK
Hey Phil, it's beautiful grain no matter what species it is. Appreciate how you show different aspects of turning from time to time. ( Sharpening and so on) Appreciate your channel Phil, thanks.....Dan
Commented at Start Maybe Apricot, bark grain and cracks add to my feelings, turned some last week and looks very much the same wood. Nicely done. Regards George
This piece doesn't really look like Black Locust but I don't know for sure what it is . I do know it's a very beautiful piece for sure . The finish is superb as always . Awesome job Phil . We hope you have a great weekend and week a head .
Looks like another fab bowl there Phil. I had a car full of black locust logs given to me last year (also known as robinia and false acacia) they look identical to the one you have just turned. Quite heavy and dense.
Nice bowl, Phil. Try this to remedy those difficult 'bent over' fibers. With the lathe in reverse, go to the 'other side' of the lathe and with a sharp scraper take very light shear cut passes. Those bent over fuzzies (should) disappear. Oh, I don't know what kind of wood it is either. I get a lot of enjoyment watching you enjoy yourself at the lathe.
Late again, what is it about reaching a certain age life becomes one long round of hospital visits and funerals?! Im not really that old either only decrepit! Just turned 66 on the first. HB to me🎉😁 Beautiful mystery bowl Phil, shame Arland couldnt come up with a definitive answer but it turned out a lovely bowl. Plus I leanred that your black locust is our robinia, I recognise that name just need to remind myself what it looks like now... I'd call that the sunset bowl, if you look at the inside of it with the darker patch on the bottom it looks like a sunset over a flat calm water, same view of water on the outside too. Thats my fancy anyway, thanks Phil, much appreciated as ever.👍
Hope you are doing better, Jude! Hey, we share a birthday, mine is on the first, also! Just turned 77. Wow, that sounds old to me. I like your description of what you see in it and that's what I'm going to point out to people. Thank you, Jude! 😀
Thank You Phil, Thank You Arland Sanborn...It bothers me also not knowing what kind of wood because it looks so familiar... Nice picture perfect turning today Phil. I wish I had your weather. Perhaps in a month or so... Until next time... TM
Very cool looking wood Phil but I have no clue either. Today I started an Apple wood bowl and it has those cracks that fruitwood seems to have. Pretty sure it is not Black Locust but that does not help. Great looking great finish is what I do know for sure. Well done my friend, Gary
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
😀
Hey Phil, that whatever wood bowl is great
Thank you, Ken! 😀
BEAUTIFUL !
Thank you, Ola! 😀
"A rose by any other name..." Funny how we of the human species are programmed to attach a name to just about anything and everything. Useful, but in the end, I'd just label this a most beautiful example of what some mystery tree was generous enough to give us. Great job, Phil! 👍

Thanks for explaining everything it means a lot to me to learn and understand the process. The bowl is beautiful as usual. I love the shape and rich colors. It is a work of art!
Awesome! Thank you, Susanne! 😊
Well belated Happy Birthday Phil, what a coincidence and a lovely symmetry too. They say you're as old as you feel...so I hope you feel 66 because I feel 77 lately!
Glad you saw the sunset in the bowl too, it's lovely xxx
I pretty much feel at least 77 most days but, I can't believe I can still feel anything at all so, it's all good! 😀
Great looking bowl Phil. Very well done. Thx and take care.
Thanks, you too! 😀
Looks good, the color is great! I didn't see what wood it is yet but maybe I missed the comment. Keep up the good work. Always look forward to what your next adventure is.
Thank you, Nick! Arland said maybe Locust but, he didn't sound too positive. 😀
Another masterpiece!😊
Wow, thank you! 😊
I'm thinking locust. Very nice Phil. Your video was very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing. See you next week
I have some locust and it does resemble it but mine hasn't cracked very much but it could be that mine hasn't dried enough yet. It would explain the hardness and need to continually sharpen too. If it's black locust it'll show under a black light. Mine shines like a disco under UV light. It's kind of strange how it glows
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
It will be interesting to hear what kind of wood that is. It sure took the finish nicely. Keep on keeping on.
Thanks, Dale, will do! 😀
The colour looks like poplar but I don’t believe it is that hard even though it is classified as a “hardwood”. Nice job, Phil. Love it.
Thanks, Hubert! 😊
I like your decision to take that 1/8” off the thickness…love the live edge…regardless of what kind of wood it is, it’s another beauty…thanks for sharing…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, Loraine! 😊
Доброго времени суток, Фил. Как всегда, отличная работа. Хороший цвет дерева.
Хорошая работа. Спасибо за видео
Рад, что вам понравилось, спасибо за просмотр! 😊
Beautiful live edge bowl, Phil. 😊😊
Thank you! 😊
Glad you didn't make it any thinner... I love all your live edges.😊 Beautiful piece as always!
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful result, regardless of the type of wood.
Thank you very much! 😀
The "Mystery Wood" bowl is beautiful, as usual. Arland Sanborn is my brother-in-law. He must know what wood it is. It really doesn't matter, because you were able to take it and make an art piece!
Oh, Cool! Tell him I said HI! and to comment the answer. 😊
Mulberry maybe? A little yellowish for sure. Excellent work.
@MADGuappo if it's Mulberry, leave it in a sunny window and it will turn red-brown and you will know.
Natural edge stunner....inspiring as ever. Thanks Phil. Appreciated
Glad you enjoyed it, Richard, thanks! 😊
Beautiful, Phil
😀
23.10pm UK.Ready to watch.
You are a night owl, Andy! 😊
Classic live edge bowl, well done.
😊
Really pretty bowl, Phil! You've done it again!
Thanks, Buddy! 😊
Just beautiful Phil. Wood looks so great
😊
Great video, another beautiful bowl. I'm guessing honey locust.
Arland did say Locust, so, could be! 😊
Most locust wood has thorns all over it……
Beautiful bowl.
Thanks, Kamie! 😊
The inside grain is beautiful
😀
That wood grain is outstanding. Beautifully done. Thanks Phil.
The bowl is very beautiful. You are very talented.Thank you for letting me watch you make the bowl.God bless you and stay safe.
Thank you, Bob! 😊
Thank you, Elizabeth! 😊

That's a gorgeous bowl, Uncle Phil! 👍✌️
Thank you, Henry! 😊
Chokecherry? Beautiful!

Mystery wood, driving us all nuts trying to figure it out must be a crazy nut tree 😂, regardless it turned out great, well done Phil.
All the best to you.

LOL! Thanks, Jim! 😊

It looks great, Phil. I would identify it as "some kind of wood" lol.

Thank you kindly, Jane! 😊
Looks Awesome Phil! Very nice piece 😎the color reminds me of poplar wood, Enjoyed the video!👍
Thanks, Kimsey! The Poplar around here is much softer. Arland said he thinks it's Locust. 😊
Another stunning bowl, Phil! I agree, it is a perfect turn and finish. Thanks!
😊
It's a gorgeous bowl Phil. I love the grain.
Thank you, Rena! 😊
Lovely bowl, Phil, whatever it is! 😊
Thank you, Marcia! 😊
Phil, I like how you shaped the bottom of the bowl. With a mortise, once you've finished sanding and finishing the inside of the bowl, you're done. No tenon to remove. And you can always refinish the bowl in the future if need be.
Thanks, John! 😊
It is beautiful, Phil! I think it popped after all!😃
It did finish pretty well, Mabel, thank you! 😊
Its a wonderful bowl! Whatever the wood is, it has a gorgeous grain! I love it, Phil!❤❤
Thank you, Texana! 😊
Beautiful piece. If it is Locust it will glow in the dark under a black light. Keep up the great inspiring work.
Thanks, Chris! 😊
Very nice. Turned out beautiful!
😊
Gorgeous bowl!
😊
It's a beautiful bowl☺️
Glad you like it, thank you! 😊
Ash was my first guess.
Great video. Thanks Phil

Very nice, the live edge is great.
Thank you, David! 😊
That's absolutely gorgeous and I love the colours and markings in the wood 🪵 😍 ❤❤
Thank you, Karen! 😊
Wow. Beautiful bowl Phil!!
Thank you, Laura! 😊
Nice bowl Phil!
😊
Another masterpiece of turning and finishing - great job, Phil. I thought 'olive wood', but I am no expert! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, David! 😊
I looked out the window at my Bing Cherry tree. It's bark is smooth and a very light grey color. Looking the other direction at my apricot tree, it's bark looks much rougher more like the wood your turning.
Other thought, The bark on my fruit-less Flowering Plum Tree look very similar to also to your turning. I really like the finished bowl.
I did think of Apricot as well, Russ. I hope Arland chimes in here! 😊
Once again, wonderfully done.
Thank you, Joseph! 😊
Gorgeous, as always, Phil. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
😊
Love it Phil
Thank you, Bobby! 😊

Can't get to the back side of my lathe, Louis, it's up against the wall. Good suggestion, though! 😊
Beautiful! ❤

I know, it looks familiar to me, too and it's driving me nuts! LOL! I hope it cools down for you soon, Tuffy! Thank you, buddy! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Well then Phil it must be some kind of NUT WOOD, ha😅
@@tuffymartinez LOL!
Cool beans, lovely piece
Thank you, Marge! 😊
Very cool looking wood Phil but I have no clue either.
Today I started an Apple wood bowl and it has those cracks that fruitwood seems to have.
Pretty sure it is not Black Locust but that does not help.
Great looking great finish is what I do know for sure.
Well done my friend,
Gary
That's about all I know too, Gary! I hope Arland is watching and will tell us! Thanks, buddy! 😊
