    Love your videos Phil. I just got my first lathe and you are my favorite teacher here!
    Don't be too hard on your self. I laughed when you said : "you're probably all laughing at me right now". I laughed at your comment, definitely not at your work, it's an amazing piece of art and gives me loads of inspiration.

    We love the contrast between “this is kind of what I started with” at the bottom and “this is what you can do if you really apply yourself” at the top. And the colour is just amazing - so rich and chocolatey.

    My wife and I go and dig out iron wood stumps out of the ground. What looks like old rotting wood is an amazing treasure every time I cut a new pice. Some are brown like youe some are almost black and occasionally we get some that shimers like gold. Awsome job thanks for sharing.

I always learn about wood turning and how to approach a project when I watch you turn Phil. U the best Phil !!!...Iron Wood is a wood I was fascinated with when I was little & still am as an old guy. Thank You Dave, "Calmwood Creations" for sending... Great job Phil, it looks like a perfect shot "glass" for "Game of Thrones" ...Look forward to next week Phil...tm

You ARE an artist no matter what you think about yourself. Yes the wood is the show but like a potterer that manipulates the clay - the wood is in your capable hands. Beautiful stunning creation

    Your goblet for not having faith in your spindle turning method turned out GREAT. You didn't need a blueprint for it. EXCELLENT as always. YOU reminded us when you were sanding the end of the goblet you were talking about sanding lightly . Too much sanding will cause friction of the paper heating the wood which may cause the wood to weaken and the splits may get bigger. Good job!!!! KEEP ON TURNING

    Phil you got one thing wrong: me laufhing at you. On the contrary: I truly admire that you made the brave decision on trying to go out of your comfort zone with turning a goblet. Especially with that kind of very hard wood. I had my own share of going out of my comfort zone so I exactly know how it feels. The grain of the wood looks awesome. For me a goblet is never easy to make. So congratulations on this project! Awesome.

    • @PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop

    Phil, you have NO need to doubt yourself & your woodturning. It was hard wood & different wood but your approach to your woodturning & your desire to expose the beauty within a piece of wood, regardless of its size & shape, leaves little room for doubt that you will succeed in producing a 'thing of beauty'. An 'artist ' creates apiece because THEY WANT TO, not because someone places a set requirement on. Be bold & resolute using your skills, which are abundant, produce your piece then let other people decide if they like it or don't like. As long as YOU, the artist - woodturner likes it that is what 's most important. That being the case I am sure that the majority of people who view it are going to like it & most of those people are, like me, going to love it. Your a great woodturner & don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Different for you, sure it was but it turned out to be a delightful 'emerging goblet. Well done my friend. Stay safe & well & keep them coming. Don

    Arizona ironwood. If I remember correctly, it's an acacia wood. My father-in-law collected many oddities in his southwestern states explorations, mostly rocks and minerals, but I found two branches of this buried at the back of his garage. It had been there for a minimum of 30 years! And likely longer than that. Dry, dry, dry! Expected you to do a natural edge bowl, but I did issue you a challenge, didn't I? And you stepped right up and met it! I understand that you have problems with spindle turning projects. I can't do a vase shape to save my shavings, so I do understand. One thing I use for goblets is a tennis ball in the cup. Stops vibration without applying undue pressure. Works a treat when attempting long tapering stems.
    Nicely turned! 👍👍

      Dave, I just can't thank you enough for giving me to opportunity to challenge myself with this beautiful piece of wood. It's good to hear some of it's history, too! Most people would have found that and tossed it into a garbage can, but not you! I do know about the tennis ball trick but just didn't feel it necessary as the stem seemed plenty strong enough to do what I had to do, but I'll remember it in case there is a next time. Thank you, my friend!

      I remember the day I was cleaning out the accumulated junk in the garage, making space for my woodwork stuff. Found what looked like exceptionally weathered driftwood. Casually tried to lift one of the branches-- darned thing could be used for an anchor! About put my back out because I'd tried lifting with one arm only. Now that I've seen what you could do with that small chunk, I'll have my own go at it.

      Usually an acacia or mesquite, sometimes it will be large creasote bush. Let the carbide do the work and clean up the the other tools. You figured it out. Job well done. Take care gentlemen. From Somerton, Az.

    Great job Phil, you worry way toooooo much. We don't have that timber in Aussie shame could be fun. Keep turning and giving us different ideas.

      Thank you, Steve! An unusual wood like this deserves a little worry, I think. I'll keep on turning, you keep on watching, please!

    Wow! What a beautiful piece! I only started watching your videos about a month ago and have been in awe of your talent and insight to what can be turned. Keep it up, I really enjoy watching.

    Purple heart maybe? A lovely piece of wood anyway, and a good result.

    It is in fact Southwest Iron Wood. I have turned it in the past using carbide tools. The wood is one of the hardest and is brittle. Very much like Mountain Mahogany which is native to California high desert. Both have a high silica content. I do not but a finish on my turnings, I sand to 600 grit then buff with Tripoli, white diamond and carnuba wax. Shines just like a polished stone. Iron Wood is often used for knife scales. Thanks for sharing.
