I don't care what wood you have or how you turn it, it always comes out beautifully and unique. And I always learn from you. Well done and thanks for another great video!
Good morning, Phil. You seem to be your own critic and not always right about your work. You the very best at what you do. A wood craving master. I really enjoy your videos and the art you created. Stay healthy, safe and blessed. 💜💜💜
Phil there you go again beating yourself up over nothing - this is a beautiful work of art! Good to see you - you seem much more yourself after the past couple weeks, hope you're well on the mend.
As my dad would say, "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do" and you went and did it. Turned out really nice. Mesquite is in abundance where I live in central Texas.
Wow Phil, Your dexterity getting into that vase with the various tools including the old sock have made a beautiful piece. Great job Phil grain is dynamite the oil finish is beautiful.
I think it turned out really nice Phil. The finish looks really good, really brings out the contrasting colors of the grain. The shape is unique, like most everything else you do. Thats why we all watch your great videos. You never just turn a bowl, your always use the beauty of nature to set your work apart. Really nicely done !
You my friend are like the Bob Ross of wood turning, even the hair!!! Okay, not so much “the hair”. In all seriousness, it’s an honor and pleasure to watch both you and Bob Ross go from your respective raw materials to an artistic thing of beauty. As always, AMAZING!
Hi Phil, I like it!! you certainly wasn't barking up the wrong tree with the design, you certainly SOCKED it to me with your inventiveness. God bless, stay safe. Tony
Hi Phil - recent subscriber here after watching your channel for a couple of weeks. Great video! I like how you bring your viewers through your thoughts on what you should do with each piece, problems you run into and your viewers' opinion on what you're doing - and how you just plain wing it from beginning to end! I find your humility really engaging and it shows your viewers that woodturning is really all about having fun as you create something spectacular. I am hoping to make this part of my retired life someday. Cheers from CT!
Another unique beauty! Have to be honest i was skeptical about how it was going to turn out about half way though but the finished piece extinguished all my doubts. Great job and thanks for another lesson and great video!
Phil I live in San Bernadino CA. I work full-time as a manuel machinist my laths start at six inch chuck and finish at 14 foot . To watch you do what you do and so fine . Takes a good eye and a special touch. Thank you for your videos. So relaxing to watch.
The finish looks terrific on this one Phil. I think you had the right idea using the Danish Oil knowing it would soak in more. Pretty cool shape as well. I saw Tweety Bird at first but by the time you turned it to the other side he must have flown away because I saw the two eyed monster and could not get that out of my head. And for sure the bark looks great. Nicely done! Gary
Hi Phil. Down here in AZ, 75% of what I turn are landscaper discards of mesquite. One weekend I went to Woodcraft with a piece because I wanted a better type of finish. The woodturner there, says “walnut oil”. I have now used pints and pints of it. If I want more shine, buff it and wax it. Mesquite is a beautiful wood.
Good morning Phil. I love turning mesquite. I turn a lot green and slightly wet wood. I findit easier and seems to be darker. I have used Miniwax Wipe- on Poly with great success. Satin and gloss being the 2 finishes I have used. I found that the wet wood seems to preserve the darker look. Thanks for your videos. They are my go- to sources when I need help.
I love mesquite. But you didn’t have any worms or beetles. They make turning mesquite a unique experience. I’m not a fan of rhombus shapes. They seem to fight against the natural perspective of the wood grain and natural edge. Enjoyed your process and narration. Thanks.
The grain is fantastic but the shape with the sharp centre edge didn’t work for me. Saving the live edge was well worth it. As always Phil we learn so much from your coverage you are a true inspiration 🤴
Love all your videos--to think that we are all looking at beautiful wood grains that have never been seen before. I have never turned wood before, but your videos are truly inspirational.
See, I like the way you think, Bruce. Revealing what has been inside the tree all along is kind of how I look at it, too. Glad you enjoy the videos, thank you! 😊
It is amazing how one can start with a design in mind but the finished project ends up totally different than what way expected. I love the way that works when God guides our hands. Unique and beautiful.
Great video,tutorial. Phil, I got my wife and I woodturning classes at Woodcraft for a Valentines gift yrs back, we loved it and will take it back up when I retire in a few yrs. No room in my current wood-shop,or budget for a lathe yet.❤
"If you want dark wood, the use dark wood." Well said. I love the way you MacGyver items that you have around the shop/house. Wish I had a neighbor like you. I wouldn’t leave the shop. Your videos are outstanding. The audio and visual is perfect. You describe EVERYTHING without being boring. Nice touch. I wonder often when I turn, "does it sound like this when other turners turn X?" Your audio sounds exactly like the sounds I hear, which tells me I may not be messing up as much as I thought. You are an instructor extroidinaire. I learned, I liked, no, I loved the process to get to the final piece of art as much as I loved the final piece of art. Please keep doing what you do Phil. What do I think? I think you’re a genius woodworker!
I loved it from the start Phil I believe it's one of my favorites. You'll hear no complaints from here. I'm living in Georgia now Kingsland, on the St. Mary's River area. Living here has not changed my perspective on your work.
I have changed my style of woodturning since I have subscribed to your channel. I enjoy turning but now I have a renewed excitement, finding what is inside the wood I am turning without worry of conventional thinking of a perfect shape or finish. It is what it wants to be and I will treasure what has been created. Thanks for my mind set correction love turning!!
That is awesome, Kelly! I too find it a more relaxing way to turn, or maybe, to think. It frees up the mind when you are not trying to create the perfect rule of thirds bowl or vase. And I love to include the part of the tree that was visible when it was alive as well as the beautiful grain on the inside. It's a contrast that can't be equaled and I love it! 😊
The grain, the bark, and the finish are the stars of this turning, IMHO, Phil. Verdict is out on the shape for me, but it does not diminish the natural beauty of the bowl. Another great job. Thanks!
"I'll just do what I can do with want I got"...….. you always do, and it always comes out beautiful!!!!! Keep on doing what you do; it'll be perfectly fine!! I wouldn't of ever thought to mount it like you did at first, but neither am I a wood turner! Thank you.
The finish is beautiful. And I really like the shape! I would love to be able to run my hands over your pieces they look so smooth. You can never have too much bark! You have really know how to get the most from the wood. I love your work.
Well I am glad that you grew to like this piece Phil. Sure, it is quite different to your 'normal type' turning but that is good to sometimes step out of your comfort zone. Where the bark comes down the side of the bowl looks a bit like a nose & then you get the 'round' growth rings either side to give you a bit of a face. An interesting piece Phil with lovely colour & grain, I think brought out well by the Danish Oil finish. I don't know how I have not commented on this piece before when I viewed it. Thanks for the journey & cheers, Don from South Aust.
Hi Phil. Thanks for the video and I think this bowl turned out to be very nice and has character. Well, you gave it character, and I learned again something more of you. Thanks again. Greetings from Andreas 🇳🇴
Another gem out of Nature’s bounty. It’s a pleasure to watch a craftsman in action. The colours are wonderful, they are just right! Surra, you are to be congratulated once again!
It's beautiful Phil I'm like you I love the way nature looks no stain all I use on my bowls is sanding sealer and Acks paste and Polish let the beauty of nature shine through stay safe👍👍👍👍
It’s good to see you deal with the challenges: the odd shape of the original log, the loose bark, and the dull carbide tip, and I love that sock. So many TH-cam videos hides those realities of life.
Phol, I so admire your technique of making your ten on within areces, essentially eliminating the loss of height of the finished piece. I used to make my tenon proud from the bottom of the piece. You have taught be a better way.
Hi Phil. You have heard the expression "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" but in your case, beauty is in the eye of the turner.... and the viewers. I never see an ugly piece from your lathe. Grain gob!!
I don't care what wood you have or how you turn it, it always comes out beautifully and unique. And I always learn from you. Well done and thanks for another great video!
Thanks a lot, Steve! 😊
Another great piece! I appreciate your attitude! You can never go wrong with Mesquite wood! It’s just God’s way of showing what He has made.
😄
Phil, you seem invest heart and soul into each piece you turn. It shows in how beautifully they come out every time.
Thank you, Elizabeth! 😊

I actually used to have hair just like Bob's, Gary! Thank you! 😊
I like bark too. I love your appreciation of the natural enhanced by your artistic eye
Thank you, Aliceray! 😊
Another beauty. I also love the shape and grain and the whole thing. A lot of work goes into your projects and makes them one of a kind. :)
Thank you, Marge, I appreciate your great comment! 😊
We are our own worst critics. Nice piece, ty for taking us along
😊
It’s a beautiful bowl, I’m a huge fan of retaining the bark when possible. Nice design and grain. ♥️
Me too, Maddie! 😊

Walnut oil. That's a great idea.
To think I never used mesquite for anything except smoking wood.
Your work I for me is always surprising and rewarding. Thank you🌹
You are so welcome, thank you for watching! 😊
As you know, sometimes wood has a mind of its own. Beautiful.
😊
Odd shape. Beautiful. Love the bark. Another beautiful piece of work.
Glad you like it, Janie, thank you! 😊

Hi Phil Thank you I appreciate the lessons you give I have used a few of them Thanks
Great to hear, Rob, thanks! 😊
This is my favorite wood to turn just because it is so beautiful!!
Cool, Victor! 😊
It is amazing how one can start with a design in mind but the finished project ends up totally different than what way expected. I love the way that works when God guides our hands. Unique and beautiful.
Yes, Sue, thank you and have a great weekend! 😊
Thanks Phil,You made me a challenger to keeping the bark,it can be so rewarding- a steady hand and CA glue is a sport all in it's own!
So true, Mark! 😊
HI Phil. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. THat sure applys to this one. Good job.
Thanks, Ron! 😊

Very cool, thanks, Kent! 😊

I do like the shape, it is different the usual rounded shapes. Beautiful piece, and amazing grain.

Beautiful creation again, Phil. Good things come to those who are patient and persistent!
That's me, Mr. patience. LOL! Thank you, Crystal! 😊
Oh, it's gorgeous, I love the shape, and I do hope you use it again in the future.😊
Thank you! Cheers! 😀
The wood finished out beautiful nice grain and love the live edge .

It’s good to see you deal with the challenges: the odd shape of the original log, the loose bark, and the dull carbide tip, and I love that sock. So many TH-cam videos hides those realities of life.
Haha, if people would watch two hour videos I could fill you up with the realities of life, Roland! 😊
Oh my Phil, just love it. This is up in my top 5 favs of your makes. Don't forget the offer is still there to store some things for you ;-) Much Love
Always so helpful, Linda! 😊
Another great bowl Phil.
I like it a lot.
Many thanks, Clint! 😊
Beautiful bowl and awesome job Mr. Phil.
😊
Amazing, Phil, you are a genius.
Haha, oh, OK, thanks! 😊
Phol,
I so admire your technique of making your ten on within areces, essentially eliminating the loss of height of the finished piece. I used to make my tenon proud from the bottom of the piece. You have taught be a better way.
Glad it helps, Gary, thanks! 😊
Hi Phil. You have heard the expression "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" but in your case, beauty is in the eye of the turner.... and the viewers. I never see an ugly piece from your lathe. Grain gob!!
Thank you kindly, John! 😊
Very nice. Love the colours and the bark.
