    Phil you are without equal but what I admire most is your God given ability to see the potential in everything you come across. You are the only turner who can have me sitting on the edge of my seat restraining myself from fast forwarding to the end to discover if you did succeed or whether it ended in a thousand pieces or launched itself into space. You are admired internationally, long may you continue to tell the story of how you approach each new piece and rehearse each stage of the process.

    Just looked back on this root bowl as I have been turning a bowl from a South African yellowwood and I find that bits of gravel and stone caught in the structure drive me crazy. At times I am sharpening every 30 seconds and digging out sand and stone with an awl. Not sure I want to turn more root bowls as beautiful as the grain is. I really come away inspired by your videos and going back on this one has made me persevere. Take care and stay safe.

    Hi, Phil. I hope you're doing ok these days. I want to echo what others have said about your videos. Your sense of art and design and your skill in using ordinary HHS tools to reveal gorgeous shapes, irregularities, and wood grain patterns is something you have that I do not (yet). Seeing this bowl come to smooth and beautiful fruition is both inspiring and happy-making. Thank you, again.

      You are very welcome, Phil! And, no, that's one that I'm glad to see someone else turn. I've got a couple more I keep staring at, trying to figure out what the heck to do with them. They're ones with lots of small roots and voids throughout. I can easily imagine bits and pieces tearing off and being sent all around the shop! That one was one of the more solid pieces. Want another one? (I'll be keeping the plum root chunks-- you wouldn't want them, in any case, seeing as how your allergy to spindle turning would drive you nuts!)

I suppose one day I'll get hit with something big, but so far so good! LOL! You know I will always accept any wood you want to send my way. Ya know, you really need your own channel. You have so much to offer others. And, if you don't want to talk, don't. Works for Andy Phillip!

Third, I'm never the one in front of the camera . . . never. Always behind it. So, perhaps you see a trend here?
      In any case, I'm waiting to see how you deal with the inside rot in that piece of all-bark-on maple. I tried to work one the other day and had to set it aside for another day.

    Funny--I was just now looking at another channel belonging to a young French wood turner whose art could not be more different--compositing all sorts of pieces of wood into ingenious geometrically-precise creations. He's very skilled and does some amazing "gee-whiz" kind of work. Yet it leaves me empty; he could be turning plastic, for all it matters. He does not woo the wood, as you do. I would not say one kind of turning is better or worse, any more than abstract paintings are better or worse than classical realism (and I am a painter). But over and over, I am drawn back to the way you approach a piece of wood as an organic entity with whom you harmonize, and somehow coming to an organic and yet functional piece of art through a profoundly non-organic means. All of it fascinates me.

    Greetings Phil from a pretty city in Northern Colorado! I love this bowl! You’re right, it’s dainty. (LOL! my grand-Dog is begging for my snacks. He’s a good dog, so it doesn’t bother me) The bowl looks nice and smooth like you said. I bet it felt nice. I had to giggle when you said “Yippee for me!” Not just because it was sarcastically descriptive of what had to be done, but because when ever I have to do something I don’t want to do or just get sarcastic at a situation, I always say, “Well, Yippee Ki Yay!” Anyway... I really love this bowl. Another piece for your art displays. Your house must look beautiful with all those gorgeous wood pieces around. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful art with us.
    I hope you didn’t get too hot where you are. It’s pretty darn hot here too. As about as hot as home. My drive out here was nice. I didn’t get enough sleep for the second half, so I had to stop a few times for cat naps. It all worked out fine though. My grandson is a little peanut. Sooo adorable. Now I have 3 grandsons. No granddaughters. (Except for honorary granddaughters) I’ll be here through the 4th so we can have a nice family celebration. Then I’ll head home. Take care my friend! {{{Hugs}}} 🤗💜🦋🌹🇺🇸 ~ Auntie Roma

Beautiful house? No, just a lot of clutter with pretty wood, unfortunately. Someone really ought to come do some arranging but that someone is not me. We have had some warm weather but it went away. Had a coat on in the shop the last couple days! Glad you made the trip safe and sound, if a bit slower. No sense in pushing yourself. Glad you are with family and have time to enjoy your new grandson. Happy 4th Of July to you!

      I think you just need the right piece of wood to begin with to make it look easy, Deanna! Thank you!

    Phil that is a very interesting bowl for sure. It has some many great things going on. That small piece that is barely hanging on especially. I know how nerve racking it is when you are sanding with one of those fragile pieces hanging out there. But you did great. I love all the non turned areas. A perfect balance to the nicely sanded and finished wood.
    But....take a look at the video starting at 14:56. Tilt your head to the left and you can see a face as clear as can be. For a minute I thought you had Photo Shopped my picture on there...LOL
    I uploaded my video for tomorrow then opened yours up. Glad I picked this one because the one I was going to do I dealt with a sketching partial tenon as well. Save that excitement for another day.
    Great job my friend and keep turning those roots! And thanks to Dave for sending this one.

      HA! I think I saw you too, Gary! Mouth about half open with a big frown, right? LOL! Thanks for pointing that out! So glad you like this and understand about the little pieces and difficulty of sanding them while still keeping them on the piece. Yeah, it was a challenge for sure! Keep those sketchy tenons to a minimum, my friend! Thanks, Gary!

      Hmmm...come to think of it, Paige, this does kinda look like a sow's ear! LOL! Well, it's kind of an odd shape, anyway. Thank you so much, I'm very happy you love this piece! (Thank you for your name, much easier to type!)

    That is so nice that it has me wondering how long it will be until my wife's rhododendron is large enough for me to cut down and turn the root ball on it! "Gee honey I don't know what happened. Someone must have come in while you were out of town and dug it up." Maybe I could just take the root ball and stick the rest of the bush back in the ground. ;p

    • @PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop
      @PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      You and ThePapa1947 think alike, Dana! Gary said the same thing about cutting off the root ball and re-planting when I did the rose bush root ball a couple weeks back. Your wives will be on to you in no time, that's for sure! Thanks for watching and the laughs, Dana!

      Hi, Dana. Dave here, at Calmwood Creations.
      That might not work out as well as you imagine! But do be particularly observant of when your neighbors are gone for a three-week Caribbean cruise and take theirs, instead!

    Phil. When using a prong drive I lock my headstock and while applying tail stock pressure, I move the wood back and forth. It makes the drive work it’s way in.

  • @rockinrswoodshop
    @rockinrswoodshop 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That thing turned out great! I was actually thinking about turning a rhodo root ball in my next video since I have a lot of them around my house and I finally was able to order a chuck, but I was going to encase it in resin to balance it out first.

    Hi Phil ! I turned a rhododendron stump . The wood grain has the color of the purple flowers deep in the center of the trunk , who da thunk?
    I made an awesome vase with it but I wouldn't of ever known that the trunk holds the color of the flowers .
