I usually watch woodturning videos to relax. Yours are like a tense thriller with plot twists from start to finish! My knuckles are white. Thanks for that!
Every once in a while you find find yourself watching a Master Craftsman and are reminded that some skills are simply the product time, passion and hard work. This was beautiful, Mr. Anderson, thank you.
It was beautiful to start with but was really beautiful when you were done. I am 72 and love to watch you do your magic with each piece of wood that you turn. If I were younger I would take up wood turning. Love your work.
the upmost respect to you Phil, 99.9% of woodturners would have sent that piece back to the person who sent it with some derogatory remark about their sanity. You are a true pioneer of what can be turned. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on such an incredible piece.
Or, perhaps the man who sent it assumed that Phil was one of those artists that couldn't refuse a challenge. (You know, one who grumbles & mutters under their breath, all the while forcing his own head to the grindstone. "Will...get... this...done!...It...won't...beat ...me...!!!" You know the type....A fun combination of OCD & ADHD...and perfectionism. And, gee, I wouldn't know anything about that...LOL...OY!!!
As you always seem to do, once again you have produced a beautiful piece from a selection of raw material that others might have thrown up their arms at the prospect of working it! I sure am glad that I get the chance to see your creations. Thanks
You showed them up. They went out and hunted for the most difficult thing to turn and sent it to you. You did the impossible and turned a very nice bowl. Three cheers for, Phil.
I know nothing about woodturning, but I so admire your skill! Your pieces are spectacular - seems the uglier they are before you begin, the lovlier they are after you're done! Beautiful bowl - I would place it on any table in my home.
You are the MAN, your patient attack to each & every bowl you create is just what I want to be as a turner ! Thank You for your appreciation in turning.!!!!!
If there was ever doubt that Phil Anderson is the Master of turning 'THE IMPOSSIBLE' into a WORK of ART then let them feast their eyes on this piece & be assured that you are 'THE MASTER' of the impossible. All credit to you my friend, you have turned the "silk purse from the sows ear". I could go on & on raving about this piece of ART that you have created from a piece of wood that 99% of wood turners would have rejected. I love it mate. Don from South Aust.
Thank you, Don! Another viewer from your neck of the woods says it's chilly down your way. We are expecting 110-116°F this weekend. Never has it been this hot, here.
What FUN Phil...Thank You Phil, Thank You Tad Jenkins from Wyoming....Looks like Tad knew exactly what was good for Phil....OMG Phil You used it, HA. It has been a looooong time and YOU are the first to use the "PHIL ADAPTER"!!!!! I am glad it worked and all is safe.....Phil that is a wonderful piece, unique plus...the rocks make it !!! Expert turning Phil from beginning to the ending....Lots of FUN Phil (yes I will be watching several times).....Until next Thursday....TM
I can't tell you how invaluable your handy work was to me, but I don't have to tell you, you saw it yourself. I don't know what I would have done without it. Thank you so much, Tuffy! 😊
I am truly amazed that that honeysuckle (my favorite flower) root bowl came out like this. It is an absolutely gorgeous bowl. I would put it right on my coffee table for people to see and hear the story of what it was. Exceptional work Phil. I just love your work! ❤🙃
I really like your videos because you don't have music or any filler crap, you just do your thing as you inform. Plus, you're a likable, entertaining guy.
Phil, you are a magician with that lathe. I don't know how you do it. It makes me want to go out back and find a rocky, old stump ball just to see what you turn it into with your magical hands! I am mesmerized by what you can do!
Thank you, Bob! Are you a turner? If so, you can do it too! It's just a matter of finding a way to get a good hold on a piece and then, start turning. It will become something! Oh, one hard lesson that took me a long time to learn is, knowing when to stop. 😃
@@gym_bob Each time I see your name, Bob, I'm reminded of my favorite baseball player from my youth. He was Bob Perry, centerfielder for the Tacoma Giants in the 1960's. Man, could he hit the ball!
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Thanks Phil. It's a very common name, however I am not related to any of them. Yes, he was a good hitter. I read the wiki article on him since I wasn't familiar. Thankyou!
It always amazes me when I get a big old ugly piece of wood on the lathe and I get a beautiful piece of work out of it,this why I like your work Phil,you just get in there and make a great piece of work out of a pigs ear,keep on making these beautiful things as long as you can.
Spectacular! Really neat! Also, you are a hoot! I laughed several times through this. "It's a statement piece. It says we have a big, ugly bowl in our house." Classic. Not at all ugly, a potter would be hard-pressed to make a piece as intricate and interesting as that.
That beast turned out awesome and quite unique I enjoy watching you tackle pieces that just looked like it should have been firewood unturned it into a beauty
Wow! What a job! Seriously, Phil, unless Tuffy is too shy, you need to get him into one of your upcoming videos. You are both at genius levels in your respective fields!
Phil, the bowl is a testament to your creativity and your perseverance. Thank you for showing us both of these traits. Whether we turn wood, turn pages in a book, poke needles into fabric, make music with our voice or an instrument, or whatever we do, you teach us keep going--especially when the going gets tough.
Phil, you have a spectacular talent for taking a sow's ear and turning it into a magnificent silk purse. I learn so much from you. Another stunning example! Thank you.
It’s beautiful just beautiful. I love the jewellery (stones) it really is a statement piece, the statement being the beauty in imperfection and the perfection in nature. You’re a real artist 👩🎨
That piece is gorgeous. I could never be as good as you at wood turning. I turn everyday, but I'm legally blind and it shows up in my pieces but I keep turning and call them masterpieces. lol
Thank you, Jess! You are not letting your disability get in the way of pursuing your hobby. That's admirable! Just keep doing what you do and have fun with it! 😊
Where others fear to tread you, Phil, go in undeterred. It is inspiring how you handle these tough pieces. I love how you think out loud and take us through the process. Great teaching.
I like it! I figure that, at my current rate, it will only take me watching about 25 more of your videos before I work up the courage to try myself. I have a root ball from a an Oriental fringe tree/bush that is ready for my tender attentions! Thanks Phil.
Love your laughter and comment: “Poke it in there and see what happens”. Wow your brave! The bowl is awesome as always. It’s almost 1 am here in Sweden, worth waiting for your video. 😍
Clever, brave or just plain crazy. All of the above I think, you do what others discard. This is a great show piece just to prove how brave (or crazy) you are. Well done Phil, I love it, stones and all 👍
FASCINATING! I knew if anyone could do this, you'd be the only one. I don't think I've ever seen you turn anything with rock embedded before; this wasn't just arduous, it was DANGEROUS! But it did turn out extraordinary! ❤🔥👍I'd make a wonderful owner, too. Hoping for that to happen one day. 😊
You took something that would have been fire fuel and made a beautiful work of art. Imagine if those roots could talk the stories they could tell. I like that you left the rocks in and called them jewelry 💚🌳
Oh Phil, my gouges have toothache 😲 when looking at the stones! I would never dare turning such roots... but the result is worthwhile. Bravo for this great work. 😉👍
WOW! That was spectacular, Phil!!! You make it seem so “do-able”, but when you said going on day 5, OMG! I never would have thought that hunk of root would be turnable! I applaud your ability to see what can be done with such a unique piece of wood! You are truly an artist!
WOW, just WOW! I cannot imagine the time and patience and skill it takes to turn out a fantastic piece of art like that from a scary and heavy beginning. Congratulations!
As someone who only hand chisels bowls and Art, this bumpy ride scared the bejeebies outta me. Lol. Very impressive work and great patience on that bowl. ❤️
As is usual when watching you and paying attention to your comments, I find that I strongly agree with your underlying thoughts (the unspoken ones) and seriously hope you will continue as I have come to count on from you.
Another contestant of that show we all love to watch, "Stump the Phil", has bitten the dust. I turned a honeysuckle root ball, but it was nowhere like that one. Great job, Phil. Take a few days off and rest up.
What a fun project……for the viewer! 😉 I gasped a few times thinking that root ball would go flying. So much work, but it turned out beautifully. Love that you kept the rocks in whenever possible. Thanks for sharing your work with us. 👍
I love your tenacity. And again another great job with your finishing zero tool marks makes the piece even better you sir never seem to amaze me great job!
In the future, I request that you add month, day, and year when you completed the project. I think it's VERY IMPORTANT for futurethis provenance so it will help them protect their investments in the future! Your work is SO FANTASTIC that those who buy it need this background. Thanks!
Well Phil, I know it was a ton of work for you, but I really like it! It has so much interesting color and texture. I especially like the area on the outside where the speckled “bark” is still showing. Glad the cracks behaved themselves and stayed put. All in all, I think it’s a tremendous piece!
This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and my jaw dropped when I saw the results. You are a true master woodworker. Can’t wait for further adventures.
Okay, with this monster, you have proven yourself to be the master of the weird and wonderful! Someone sends you something weird and you turn it into something wonderful! Well done, sir! You had me wondering at first if you weren't going to win this fight, but you did a yeoman's job on it and I truly like and respect the finished piece.
You are the master of disaster,just fabulous Phil
Thanks, Art!
I love how you're open to try whatever it takes. So much fun to watch you.
Glad you enjoy it, Kent, thanks! 😊
I usually watch woodturning videos to relax. Yours are like a tense thriller with plot twists from start to finish! My knuckles are white. Thanks for that!
LOL! So sorry, Rebecca! Just when you need a little rest, along comes one of my videos. HA! 😊
I’m glad you showed some of the turning in regular speed. It’s good to see the reality of starting odd shaped objects. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching! 😊
Every once in a while you find find yourself watching a Master Craftsman and are reminded that some skills are simply the product time, passion and hard work. This was beautiful, Mr. Anderson, thank you.

Go for it. I'm just turned 69 and going to start this year. I'm Still riding my Harley too.
I understand, Jennie but I bought this lathe and got serious when I was 69. Thank you for your great comment! 😊
Master is an appropriate title. Wow! What a project. We love all the cracks, holes, rocks!
How kind of you, Joanna, thank you! 😃
Wow another nice piece Make sure to thank Tuffy for that chuck extension
Done and done! 😊
You have the best voice to listen to. Never tired hearing you explain everything you were doing to bring this bowl to life. Well done thank you..!!

You are definitely right about how dramatic that piece is! That piece needs to live in a large home. It'll overwhelm a small home.

Watched one of your old videos just to hear your voice. Miss you old man . My prayers are with you 🙏❤ God Bless
Thank you, Michael! 😊
Marvels and Mysteries of Phil's woodturning. Beautiful.

Not UGLY at all! I like the unique character of this piece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic, Ron! Best of luck in your creative turning! 😊
It's your honeysuckle rose, Phil. A big thank you to Tad for sending, Tuffy for inventing and you for working so hard and sharing. See you soon.
I almost called it that but didn't think others would see the rose in it. I'm glad you do, thank you! 😊
I really appreciate how much you make the comments about safety and safety gear. This piece is amazing.
I appreciate that, Jillian, thank you! 😊
God grew that Honeysuckle rootball knowing that you would be turning it into an incredible bowl. I can't thank you enough for sharing this project.

You give me confidence in not being afraid to turn anything. Nice and easy does it. Well done Phil, another wonderful piece.
