Disappointing 👀 Outcome! - Wood Turning

- I've turned lots of Alder from this property and it wasn't anything like this. Mine must be slow growing due to all the shade from the Fir trees. I think this piece is young and fast growing. Could not get a decent shellac finish!

You know what, Phil? This piece might not have finished as you wished, but the sanding and the smoothness you’re able to obtain is fantastic. That bowl has other points of beauty!
Thank you, Danella! 😊
I don’t know why you’re disappointed, it looks good. It’s a nice color and the finish looks shiny! Thanks Phil!
😊
Love it! Live edge is live edge, you can't make it up, it is what it is. I would be proud to have turned that.
😊
Your advice for woodworking can be applied to life in general. Take little bites, enjoy the process! Thanks for the video again!
There ya go, Kristi! 😊
Hi Phil, Dan here. I'm recovering from shoulder replacement surgery, watching an artist like you is like a pleasant tonic. Love this piece, feel like you let the wood have an expression. When I get back to turning, I think I'll invest in a sand o flex. Think one would come in handy. Don't stop being you, love this channel. Thanks.
Thank you, Dan! Speedy healing! 😊
Same here reverse socket it’s not going well for me it has just dislocated three times My surgeons has a different idea I have upcoming meeting with him Wish you well
Hope your healing plan works...Dan
An artist like yourself is hard to please himself,perfection is what your looking for. Some pieces your never satisfied with but everyone else loves it. So you have pleased many, many people. I watch a lot of your videos and absolutely love your work. You are truly a wood artist. There are different types or wood working artist ,ofcourse your not carving dragons out of a log or carving animals in a tree trunk , your the type of wood artistry we all can appreciate because we can learn by watching and your work is something we all can have . To me you are the ground 18:58 country living came from. You still do the work our ancestors did maybe a bit faster and cleaner. I remember my Granny making biscuit in a wood bowl her father made for her mom. Along with wooden spoons. She also had smaller bowls he made. He did this after the farm work was done and they sat around the candle light before bed. You just bring back so much history ,and making history for our future generations. Thank you so much.
I've watched videos where they put colored stuff in cracks and holes it's pretty but I rather have wood in its natural form ,like you. Thanks again for your work ,keep on as long as you can and I'll be watching.
@@patriciaglove8201 I so much appreciate your comment, Patricia! I feel like I was there in the candle light! Thank you, you get me!😀
You are harder on yourself than anyone else! Not every baseball player makes the hall of fame and not every bowl will either. Doesn’t mean either one doesn’t have value or an important job to do. This is a very nice bowl that could hold a ball of yarn and crochet hook for a project…maybe a warm beanie to keep your head warm until spring finally gets here. 😉 I like it as do many others who watched this video. 👌 And if you don’t, there’s always another chunk of wood waiting to be turned that will be spectacular! In the meantime, I know there’s many of us that would be happy to take this bowl off your hands and put it in a place of honor in our homes! 💕😊👍💕
Thank you, BobbieJean! It's mostly the finish, I just couldn't get it right on this piece. 😊
I respectfully disagree, I think the finish is just about right. @@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop
The process, technique and commentary are my primary reasons for following your work, Phil. A beautiful finished piece of art is the gravy when things work out. Still a nice bowl in my opinion.
Thank you, Hubert! 😊
Sometimes a missing piece of bark adds to the beauty of your piece as this does.
😊
Don’t be disappointed. It may be a little plain, but it is still beautiful and one to be proud of. Barbara
Thank you, Barbara! 😊
I like the 'simplicity' of the figure and color. The 'soft' look of the finish complements the figure/color. Very nice bowl, Phil.
Thank you, Louis! 😊
The maker is always more critical than the average viewer.
Justifiably. 😊
I think it's special. I kind of like how it looks without all the bark.
😊
Your thoughts on the bark are spot on. That is some great looking wood. And while the bowl may not be anything special, I'd say it's a humble little bowl with lots of beauty. Well done, Phil
Thanks, Steve! 😊
Sometimes the wood just doesn't cooperate. I have half a dozen pieces that just didn't work out lying around on my garage floor waiting to be used as campfire wood this summer. Anywho happy turning my friend ☺️
Thanks, Edward! 😊
Watching you turn is like taking a relax scenic drive that's for sure. 🤗
Haha, enjoy the view! 😊
I think its a beautiful bowl, nice tone, nice live edge. Many people will love it.
😊
Phil, besides your wonderful turnings I totally admire you because you take the time to respond to your each and every comment! Do you realize how GREAT that is!! Not many have the integrity that you have! They get a following to enhance their cause then they no longer take the time to respond!
So you are truly appreciated in more ways than one!!
Such a great comment, Colleen. Thank you for your kindness! 😊
Too tough on yourself, Phil! Looks nice! Lots of different types of wood… you make them all look much better! Thanks Phil!
😊
I actually like the look of the 'ghost' edge, what's left behind after the bark falls off.
😊
It’s a nice useful bowl, not everything can be your idea of perfection in art, but useful has its place.
😊
I absolutely love the grain, bark and areas without bark. The bowl has a naturally distressed look with some bark missing.
😊
Well, Phil, I think you have to look at this piece in this light. All of your turnings are one of a kind, and this is one of them. I like it.
😊
Not a disappointment to me. I love the grain of that wood. The camera makes the finish look super smooth and soft. It's just a pretty little bowl. And oh yes leaving the pieces of bark was the right decision.
Keep on keeping on my friend!
Thanks, Bob! 😊
I think the partial bark fits this piece well. It adds to it’s uniqueness. Well done!
😊
Hi Phil,
Your option not to put back the missing bark was the good one ! And the finish is quite nice taking into account this type of wood 👍🏼.
😊
Hi Phil Bob here.Try sanding with 400 grit each time after putting the seal coar on.This will cut the grain down and give you a beautiful finish.Love the show.
I use 3M pads between each coat, Bob. Basically the same as sanding with 400. The end grain in this piece is the problem, just would not seal up. 😊
Your comment early on about taking small cuts over big ones, reminded me of the saying less is more. It certainly fits in the wood turning world. I liked the bowl with the bark having a big opening. Enjoy the day.
Thank you, Dale! 😊
I love that you said it is sad when people burn it! I go through my neighbors firewood piles taking anything turnable haha
😊
Must be Aussie wood, we have a reputation for enjoying a drink. Thank you for another interesting video Phil.
😊
I would say you got the best that piece had to offer Phil. Like you said it is mostly used for firewood and this piece has been saved from that by a fine wood turner.
Our son has acres of Alder. I think I have a piece of Ricks stash as well. Hope to get back at the lathe and turn a piece.
So you said maybe you are a speeder.....well I watched you riding the Mukkpet Tank and I would have to say yes you are LOL
Take care my friend,
Gary
Haha, well, it's hard not to speed on a bicycle, Gary, especially when it has a motor to help you along! Thanks, buddy! I've turned a lot of Alder that just wasn't soft like this piece. Maybe if I would have been ready for that I could have done a better job. 😊
Our son has acres of Alder. It is pretty soft.
I think the piece looks great as it is. To my eye, the finish is without issue. It isn't the least bit disappointing.
I'm glad you like it, Vicki, thanks! 😊
I personally love the look of that wood. And since you asked, I am think the bowl would look beautiful without the bark. Bark is beautiful for sure but I just know that it will eventually fall off so my take is to just make it look as beautiful as you can without it.
Still the bowl as you've done looks great! Well done!
Thanks, Tom! 😊
I agree with your philosophy of taking finer cuts. You can cause a lot of problems if you try to gouge the material. That’s true with any material, hard or soft. I like this bowl. Sometimes, the extra work is appreciated more once you’re done. Great job. I love it.
Well said! Thanks, Stewart! 😊
Phil there isn’t a person that is mixed up in art of one form or another that hasn’t made something that didn’t quite click with them yet I’m only looking at that piece of Alder on my screen and I like it very much , it may be different in person but I still think you’ve done a great job, thank you from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
Cool, thank you! 😊
Im not disappointed at all. Just like you usually do, its beautiful. Thank you Phil for sharing it with us.
My pleasure! 😊
What's not to like, simple but nice anyway. I like the missing bark.
Thanks, Doc! 😊
I like it with less bark. I don’t think you should be disappointed with this project. I think it’s perfectly acceptable. I like the grain and tones.
😊
Despite the finish, your work turned out absolutely fabulous. The finish is not that bad. The whole bottle turned out awesome
😊
still looks good -- from this view the finish looks good --I do agree about the bark
Thanks, Lynda! 😊
I wouldn't be disappointed atall Phil. You've made a piece that looks good with a good finish on screen. Obviously you've got it in your hands but I'm impressed. Hope you're well sir.
😊
Phil, on the video the finish looks very nice. I like that you didn't put the bark back on. We are our worst critics, that's for sure. Another great piece!!👍
Thanks, Ron! 😊
I like the simplicity of it. The grain is lovely, and the missing piece of bark looks like it came that way
😊
Maybe not up to Phil Anderson standards but still a beautiful, live edge bowl. A very pleasant grain color! Thanks, Phil!
You bet, Greg, thanks for watching! 😊
I think it came out beautifully. Nice finish. Not all turnings are graintacular. Sometimes they are just a nice bowl.
Ok, if you say so, Jeff. Thanks! 😊
I always appreciate the way you work through every problem ; it is perfect for teaching the rest of us. Thanks!
Thank you, Jonathan! 😊
I think the missing bark makes it very unique. It's such a beautiful piece. ❤
😊
Im not disappointed in the outcome at all. Looks good Phil. 😎❤✌
😊
I think the bowl is quite lovely...I like how simple it is.
😊
I don't know Mr. Phil, I really like the finish. I Love the natural wood. Too many woodworkers finish all the nature out of their projects. Yup, I liked it!
OK, thank you, John! 😊
While this might not be the flashiest bowl you've ever made, it is an attractive and useful one. It's a good size for a few pieces of fruit, on the table, as an after school snack for the kids. It's a good size for gamers to use, for tokens, in a board game. Such are appreciated, believe you me! For these, the flashiest wouldn't be used, for fear of damaging it. This is one which could even become a treasured heirloom, through constant, and daily, use!
Cool, thanks, Stephanie, I like the way you think! 😊
That missing bark is driving me crazy Phil lol. Lovely job that man.
😊
🙋♂️🏴 Hi Phil anyone who doesn't like this must be "barking mad" look at what you started with. And I really loved your advice to new turners although I'm not a wood turner I get what you are saying. Thanks Phil see you soon.
Thanks, John! 😊
A very nice bowl, Phil. I could live with it!
Thank you kindly 😊
Lovely g o l d colour. Love it, Phil. Like caramel. Glad it warmed up a bit for you. We had very little snow this winter. No big snow storms. The school kids are complaining they didn't get the 2 or 3 snow days that they relish so. Less icy for walking. But I miss the big snow falls that bring a beautiful quiet and calm. Ice on the lake also not as thick; ten inches, instead of two or three feet. Strange. Have a great week.
😊
The grain reminds me of turning Ash. Nice grain patterns in both species. I like what you did with the piece. keep on keeping on.
Thanks, Chris! 😊
Hi Phil WOW that is magnificent and the Alder wood is beautiful the grain and colour, it looks really smooth. The live edge bowl is magnificent. You are too hard on yourself I just wish you could see what I see. I really enjoy your videos and your commentary. Amanda xx
Many thanks, Amanda! 😊
Phil I would not be disappointed my friend it still turned out really good, great job.
Thanks, Alan! 😊
Hi Phil, I like this bowl just the way it is. The color and shine are very pleasing. Nothing disappointing here! Great video as always.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you! 😊
It's lovely:) I like the missing bark...maybe it doesn't have quite as much character as your other pieces, but still lovely:)
Thank you, Becky, I'm glad you like it! 😊
I liked the edge without the bark. Looked really interesting. Pretty bowl.
😊
Hello there! I’m glad you left the bark off. It looks better without it. This is a pretty bowl, but I’m just not feeling it. I can’t quite figure out why. 🤔 oh well, it’s still a nice bowl. I hope everything is good for you up at your home. Say hi to the trees for me. 😉😆 See you next time! Ciao! 💫✨ Roma 🦕 🌲💚🌳 🦅
I'm not feeling it either, Roma. Oh well, next time, right? See ya then! 😊
It looks better than anything I've ever turned Phil. Id love to send you some buckthorn. I know you did a buckthorn rootball or gnarly piece a while back. You should see what it looks like after being hit with a torch before finishing.. you won't be sorry...
I need to use a torch on some of my turnings at least once! 😊
I like it, Phil. It has a nice natural look. The Alder I have worked with has always been fairly soft.
Thanks, Billy! 😊
Good evening, Phil.
I'm running behind this week. Your alder bowl oil is wonderful. "Relax" is a good word. Something I'm attempting in my turning. The results have been very pleasing. See you next time around.
That's great, Ray! 😊
Perfectly nice bowl! Someone would treasure it
😊
Sorry Phil I'm watching this at the wrong end of the day today. Thanks for the lesson, I've only ever had one lesson at turning and although I had fun I never quite understood what I was doing 😂. You just explained it beautifully, thanks.🙏
Oh yeah, nice to see Stubby back at work too 😁
That seemed more interesting on closer inspection there at the end. I think you're right about the bark, it does look natural without those bits that fell off. Lovely colour too. 👍
Thank you very much, Jude! 😊
I’m from Western Washington, where alder is considered to be a weed, and yes, we burn it by the cord! They grow fast and fall down at the drop of a hat. Anything you do with alder that’s pretty is kind of a magic trick to me, like making something out of nothing! 👍🏼🥰
We must be neighbors, Tara! 😊
Hubby and I live near Kansas City now, where the alder count is somewhere near zero! Also there’s no slugs, which is terrific. 😁
We lost a 110-year old pin oak last year, but a friend turned us some beautiful bowls from the wood. I’m getting used to all kinds of different trees! 🌳 🪵
Somehow I’d gotten the impression you were talking n Ohio or something. 🤷🏻♀️ What part of Washington? (Nothing specific - I’m not stalking you.) I grew up in Kitsap County, but lived all around from Port Angeles to Edmonds to Mt Vernon.
@@auntietaraEast Piece county. 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop
👍🏼😁 My mom’s side of the family lived in Eatonville, Packwood, and Enumclaw when I was growing up. Nice to be able to place you!
I didn't mind the small section without bark, I didn't think it drew my eye away from the piece as a whole. It finished up fine all the same and you still have the option to put it back on, as you said.
😊
It looks a typical Shady Acres piece - and abstract art form! It looks great!!
😊
I would leave the pieces off. The grain looks good. It's always interesting watching different types of wood that aren't from my area of the country. I like the shape of the bowl. Again, Phil, thanks for sharing with your TH-cam family
Cool, thanks, Doug! 😊
Phill I think something worth noting is that you turn mostly dry or nearly dry wood with knots and unusual features. That type of wood requires a delicate touch not hero cuts.
You're not wrong. 😊
It's great Phil, don't feel too bad, the end result is lovely on video. Stick it on my table any time. 👌Graham UK
😊
A piece of live edge missing ,ahhhhhh. Just gives it character. Beautiful wood an bowl. When they fly apart like a cherry bowl, like mine then its disappointing. Wife had me clamp an glue it back together.
I think we all have a few pieces with glue lines, Bobby! LOL! 😊
The bowl is beautiful. Bark and lack of bark looks natural. A great bowl.
😊
I like the look of the wood just under the bark. They can have some beautiful patterns under there.
😊
Hi 👋, Phil from Phil, nice job, a great pity that the bark came off, stay safe, keep up the great work, from the moulin
😊
Every time I have a question about what you are doing, or why, you always answer it. You do amazing videos.
Wow, how cool is that! Thanks, David! 😊
It's a nice bowl , I like it. Even though I give each piece my best , some just turn out better than others...❤
True enough, Robert, thanks! 😊
Awesome Phil! Looks great to me. Sometimes just having some bark missing does look better than no bark. Just depends on what the wood wants. You always figure out what the wood wants.
Thanks, Clyde! 😊
I like it. I also don't mind the missing bark. The bowl looks fine to me. I would add pebbles about a third cup and water, and it would make a fine bird bath for finches and such. It's a beautiful Phil. Thanks.
Thanks, Kersi! 😊
thanks for the break im having sooo much fun shoveling the three feet of snow and ice i hate winter just saying i think its wonderful you do good work
Oh, my, I would not care for that weather, Debra! Maybe hot cocoa time? Or, maybe something a little stronger? Thanks for taking your break with me! 😊
Hey Phil
I just wanted to thank you for telling me about Howard’s feed an wax
I recently made my first knife handle from a piece of cherry wood from my front yard
There’s no bark but I kept the wood looking natural, nice and simple
😊
If you’re disappointed with the bowl, I’ll take it ! It is calm and beautiful, just right. You are hard on yourself, job well done . I learn so much by watching your videos, you’re such a good teacher. Thank you.
If you were standing here I would give it to you, Karen! 😊
Phil, it's beautiful to me. Maybe if you used some paste wax on top of the shellac, the shine might come out more. Glad it's warmer in your area. Have a wonderful weekend.
Mostly it's the endgrain that I could not get a good finish on, Jane. 😊
Bark looks good the way you did it, this wood makes a good hollow form in my experience, but definitely difficult to finish.
Thanks 👍
What a wonderful charactered wood, it might be a coarser grained and more difficult to get a perfect finish, but the growth rings give it a visual presence, there's nothing wrong with rustic!
OK, if you say so! 😊
Phill you may have been disappointed in the result but I learn something every time. I like the way you shaped the bottom around the recess. I have not thought of that before. Will give that a try today. Thanks for the education. Dan
Thanks, Dan! 😊
When you were showing the elder at the beginning I think I know why you used all your older trees for making things the grain is so beautifu.l
😊
I like the bark! 👍👍
😊
It looks good Phil. I personally like the missing bark. Keep the videos coming.
😊
You are too hard on yourself Phil, it's a lovely bowl. I like the colour, and the missing bark.
Thank you kindly, Heather! 😊
I really like this piece. I usually prefer bark on but in this case I think I would have preferred all the gone.
😊
Hey, Phil. Its not as eye-grabbing but it ended up looking pretty nice. I like its simplicity. The finish looks like a nice satin finish, I dont know how it actually feels but to me it looks really nice. The missing bark gives it a bit of extra interest, I agree the bark that flew off made a better impression than the way it came to you. Its a nice job, Phil! Thank you.❤
Thank you, Texana! 😊
I think the alder bowl looks awesome. The missing bark makes it look like you grabbed a log off the firewood pile. I've worked with it in furniture, it tends to need something like Danish oil as a finish.
😊
Very NATURAL,,, I like it ❤️
Thank you! Cheers! 😊
Western Red Alder is such a fast growing tree, that the wood is mostly softer summer wood with less winter hard wood. I found that sanding sealer raises the grain, requiring another light sanding to get it smooth again. Yup, plain grain unless you work with crotch wood to get some feather. And you know I want to come over there and pop the rest of that bark off to reveal the pretty natural edge underneath. But I will restrain myself and let you keep it your way! You can always go out and cut a chunk of bark from a standing tree and glue it all back on! 😁 A nice bowl just the same. Hmmm, I just happen to have some wipe on dye……
Haha, you are just full of suggestions, Valerie! 😊
Not disappointed at all…I would happily take it…lol…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
😊
Hi Phil. This is a beautiful live edge bowl. 😊 you did the best you could possibly do. I like it. I also love where the bark is missing. The color of the “natural edge” wood is awesome. 🤩
Thank you! 😊
I not noticed before how you applied the seal coat, which is my goto sealer. I like the squeeze bottle idea. I have been dipping shop rag material cut into 2”x4” strips but your method doesn’t contaminate the can. Thanks for the tip.
@robertnorthrup1914 you prefer cotton rags vs paper towel to apply a finish?
Still a very beautiful bowl Phil!!!
😊
Phil, I think this is one of those times when the video might look better than the reality because your finish sure looks fine to me! I’m afraid I think it would have been better to remove the bark. The natural edge that we can see looks great and maybe if the whole rim looked like that, it would be cool? Also thanks for reminding me I put a few huge blocks of alder in my shed last year. Hopefully they’re still OK. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Rick
I hope you have better luck with yours, Rick! 😊
