Great save and LOVE that you don't fall back on using resins, all the time. Love the natural look and the oddball imperfections, that make each piece so unique.
Well Holy Iowa Ash Phil that is one of the coolest pieces you have made. Sure the ventilation may have helped cool it done but the Walnut plug you put in it really looks great up against the Ash. I am sure most would have thought that was planned. Great job of coming up with that fix. I just think the shape of the piece is what it is all about on this one. You sure had the vision turned up high when you decided how to go about this one. Great work my friend, Gary
Thank you so much, Gary! These are easy to fix, as you might know. I can't imagine going through all the work and steps of one of your segmented pieces and then do this! Argh! 😊
Watching you work is the best entertainment I have. You are a problem-solver and an artist! Thanks for sharing your stuff! Every piece you’ve made is a work of art and I’d be proud to display it! Barbara
Hi 👋, Phil from Phil, That turned out very nice in the end 😂, we have all made a Whoopsi in how careers, it is how we get over them, that makes the job to be at success in the end, well done Phil, it looks amazing peace ☮️ of Art , Phil from the moulin France.
Outstanding work of art. Thank you, Phil, for working with nature instead of trying to bend it to the approval of the masses. I find your videos a restful place after the chaos of the day. Thank you!
Oops... With a solid comeback. If you never have an oops, it means you're not doing anything. From a guy who makes stuff, to a guy that makes stuff... The ability to say oops, have a laugh, make a plan, and get on with it is a wonderful skill. Thanks for "turning" an oops into an opportunity. It's beautiful and has great character! Thanx 4 sharing Phil, and I'll keep watching. ✌️😎👍
Triffic, I can finally fix my golfers bowl (my wifes description). A lovely oak fruit bowl that you can't keep grapes or cherries in thanks to me joining the funnel club. Yours looks absolutely fantastic Phil, and thanks for the lesson on recovery. A truly beautiful work of art.
Great recovery! I totally enjoyed watching the repair! It's nice to see others being able to laugh at their 'little' mistakes. I think we've all had our share of funnels.
Reminds me of that old childhood song "There's a hole in my bucket dear Liza". I think that the walnut plug might add to the project. Very nice bowl Phil
Oh Phil! Lol. I wish we could all take mistakes in stride like that! It was great to hear your giggle. Nice job. Like you said, it looks purposeful and the end result is wonderful.
I like this bowl! Your choice of the walnut, for the bung, works very well, as it tones nicely with the bark. You performed a repair, the method, for which, we all need to know. So, thank you for sharing this lovely piece with us!
Good evening, Phil. This is an amazing bowl. A very unusual piece to start with made it all the more amazing. The addition of an accent piece, the grain along with the bark and live edge, took the bowl to a happy completion.
And who hasn’t gone just a little too far….. That was a master class on how to save the day, and the project. Many thanks for the lesson and a great project.
Always an education when we venture into new territory. Hope you had a good birthday party with your grandson...those are the joy of life, Nice adaptation with the unforeseen hole drill. Thanks for sharing everything.
Phil, you're a better man than me. I probably would've chucked the piece across the shop, as I'm my worst critic. Great recovery! Beautiful piece as always!!!👍🙂
To hell with any concern about punching through the bowl. I always advocated to my Sculpture students to step back when 'something happened' that they were not planning on & look at what new direction the piece was showing them. You did that Phil & produced a great recovery. I think it actually 'adds' to the finished piece. I love the wood with its grain & contrasting colours plus a really nice finish to go with it. Great result mate, cheers, Don from South Aust.
It's really wild knowing that you will make a bowl and show us a beautiful unique pattern that no one has seen before. Rough bark on the outside, some beauty found on the inside. Kind of like me (I hope). Thanks for saving it.
That, Mr. Anderson, is exactly how I fixed the funnel I made a while ago. As with mine, your bowl looks all the better for it in my humble opinion. Jane ❤
Glad you stuck with it-- I've never seen a cooler piece! So much going on... Frankly, I think your fix adds to how interesting it is, a solid contrast to everything else that's going on with it. Definitely an artistic decision, yes.😊
I like this! Tri color bowl. The patch nearly matches that bark inclusions. I enjoyed your attitude about the mishap. I generally would have to censor myself lol. Great job, beautiful bowl. Thank you Phil for showing us a simple repair as well.
You took a lemon and made lemonade!!! Where a chainsaw skipped, looks like a whale to me. Magnificent work Phil as usual. Hope you have a great weekend. Take care of yourself. 🥰👍
Well that one was really different. Watching you fix the hole with a walnut plug was also new to me. Thanks for sharing the mishaps. Sometimes those moments are great teachers. It is a beautiful piece Phil!! 💗
It’s good to know that even the best turners are members of the “Funnel Club”. The end result is still a very nice piece that I would love to have in my collection.
Another piece of fire wood saved, twice. I love it, I have a log this shape that I didn’t know what to do with it, now I do, but I have no Walnut 🤔. You take care Phil
I like when skilled folks show their mistakes. I think it's important, at least for folks like me. I have trouble feeling ok with my mistakes. I mean, even though I know it's how a person gets better, I let fear of failing keep me from doing things in practice. So it helps to see failure from skilled folks.
Very nice recovery, Phil. I was so surprised when you show the hole are through the bottom of the bowl, I started smiling. Your normally so careful to check to ensure your not going through. Mistakes happen. Love the finished bowl..
It became a beautiful piece again with whoopsi and all. Marvellous how you fixed it. This shows again the master in you! Nobody is that perfect he never makes mistakes, perfect is the one who goes on and fixes his mishap!
I love this beautiful bowl.❤ I love the way you kept the natural beauty in this wood also your whoopsie repair added much more oomph to the finished bowl. Stunning as always Phil. Plus you chuckling is so contagious. 😂 brilliant work by a true artist. 😊 thanks for sharing.
If you end up making a donut, then there comes the time when you need to make the donut whole. Great example of problem solving, Phil. Thanks for not dropping this one onto the firewood pile.
There are two types of bowl turners - those who have turned a hole in the bottom of the bowl, and those who are yet to do so. I also belong to the former group! Great recovery and a great outcome.
I think it turned out beautifully! So much to look at, with the contrasting colors of the heartwood, sapwood and bits of bark. And of course your “Whoopsie” plug! Your choice of the dark walnut was right on-it compliments the other wood nicely. Lovely bowl, Phil!
Well this is a first for me to see Phil’s version of a “hole in the bottom of the bowl”. But you countered flawlessly with the walnut. It added flavor to the piece. But the beauty of this piece is the outside. So many colors and depictions it’s an amazing flare of Nature. Thanks Phil for being unashamed to show mistakes and how to recoup. It’s a keeper!!
Welcome to Phil's funnel factory. For all your funneling needs. DOH!!! Sorry Phil, I couldn't resist a little giggle. Have to admit I have made a few funnels myself. Nice end result cobber. Cheers Deno
Great colors, grain and shape Phil! I had a feeling you were rushing in the beginning because of how fast you were talking. Lol! I hope your great grandson had a great party. Also excellent recovery on your bottomless bowl which you fixed very cleverly. I’m not a turner but it’s fun to watch what you do. Thanks Cosmo from Billerica, Mass.
Phil, never thought you’d go thru the bottom! Reckon I can also say I went thru a recent bowl…was about to pitch it…and said, NO. So I turned and inserted a plug. I used a Walnut plug on a piece of Madrone. The contrast is “artistic”. I’ll never tell. You are GREAT!😊
This bowl is one of my favorites because of the grain, different colors, bark in one area and especially the walnut insert! You’re right, the contrasting color looks striking and is very close to some of the dark areas of wood on the outside. A perfect melody of the color and texture of the wood with your talent for getting the best from everything you turn. 👌💕👍
Your ability to laugh at your mistakes is just another reason that I think you are the best. As a turner myself I know how frustrating and tempting it is to trash a piece when you make a big mistake. I've rescued a few of mine and I call them my OOPS pieces. When I show them to other people they seem to enjoy the story of what happened and how I recovered it. You made a beautiful recovery!
Nice fix Phil, I was showing my wife the part where you drilled through and she said "Oh, is he making bird houses now?" I just had to laugh but laughing with you of course. We all have whoopies, I lost a small bowl 3 times on the lathe. It survived all three times coming off the lathe and turned out sweet. Reminds me of some friends I know. Have a good day and be safe out there.
Wow another great bowl. We all make mistakes, not everyone talks about them so glad you show them so that we have an idea what to do when we make the same one. You take some of the craziest pieces that no one wants to work with and make them is to awesome works of art. Thank you for that as well. Keep up the amazing work. 👽
Hi Phil. Another lovely piece and a professional rescue. Looking down from the top reminds me of a oyster shell - rough around the edges but beautiful on the inside. That could just be the pearl in the bottom!
Very beautiful and interesting Phil. I never thought of what I would do if the bottom broke out, but now I know. Thanks for another very interesting turning
I'm nowhere near an expert on identifying wood. The grain pattern, wood characteristics, and color reminds me of mulberry. I love turning mulberry. Thank you for the tip about fixing it. I have discarded several works for the same thing. Now I wish I had not discarded them.
Hi Phil! Well in my crazy imagination, looking into the bowl, it looks like a flower to me. 😁 Happy 6th Birthday to your great-grandson! How exciting! I hope it was a fun party and he had a blast! Say hi to the trees for me. 😆😆 Have a fabulous week! Hugs and more headed up to you! See you next time! 🦕💫 Roma 🌲💚🌳🦅
I agree about the flower, Roma. Sometimes that happens when I can keep the outer edge untouched. It's a favorite look of mine. Thanks for the hugs, right back atcha! 😊
Hi Phil. The hole in the bottom is a technique I have used when there hasn’t been enough wood to cut a successful tenon. And the first time I did it was a total accident. Looks good though and this piece is yet another of your triumphs. Cheers. Richard
Thank You Phil, Thank You Ted Helvig... I find your turnings to be quite an adventure as the project progresses. Finding a cavity or a crack when diving inside and then changing your game plan to work with any defect or mistake to complete and bring to project to its conclusion. The fun of watching you turn is the fun process and how it changes as you go along. The dark plug in the bottom is great & highlights the bark on the outside. Iowa Ash looks great Phil..... TM
Phil , It’s amazing how some of the wood you use looks like half chewed gum , but you get some gorgeous bowls and things out of them. You truly have a talent. Love your videos.👍👍👍👍🙏
It's just gorgeous Phil & Ash is such a beautiful wood 🪵 & that walnut fix me up looks like it should be there 😀 now that I've seen it done, I'd love to see a big bowl with a fix me up with a fine bottom, the contrasting, with all the natural elements looks phenomenal 😊
I always wondered what would happen if you drilled to deep. Now I know. Nice recovery Phil. The piece is beautiful. The plug looks like a branch coming out the bottom. Thanks for the show. Joel
And people say there is always a first time for everything, and Sr for the first time, I did doubt something good was about to come out from this wood. But I was wrong....I am impress as always with the result! You are the best...
Just Wow! I've been turning bowls and watching videos on turning bowls and we all know what things look like with a standard blank and everything goes according to plan. I really learned a lot from you choosing orientation from this chunk, giggling at the mistake to making it into something even more that it would have been otherwise. You've mastered this craft good sir, thanks for sharing.
Wow Phil, I love it. You just showed me what to do when you drilled a hole deeper than the outside of the vase. What you did with a marvelous piece of wood.
Had to smile, your a true trouper and fixing your whoopsi well great idea to use contrast wood it’s a great feature and a lovely soft tactile gorgeous bowl that would grace any home . Thank you for entertaining me once again .❤
Phil, because I hadn't read the introduction this was really funny. The bowl is probably better than it would have been. Nice very nice 💜🙏 Blessings from Maine 💜🙏
Great save and LOVE that you don't fall back on using resins, all the time. Love the natural look and the oddball imperfections, that make each piece so unique.
Thanks so much, Rene! 😊
Y' gotta love a man who can laugh at the bumps in the road! 😊
It's laugh or cry, I choose to be happy, Beverly! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I'm with you, Phil! You rock...er...WOOD! ☺
I love the wood grain. The oak plug is a complement to the finished bowl. I can only hope you might make this same whoopsie again. It is lovely.
Best whoops I ever saw. Your work is so unique!
😊
Well Holy Iowa Ash Phil that is one of the coolest pieces you have made. Sure the ventilation may have helped cool it done but the Walnut plug you put in it really looks great up against the Ash.

Outstanding work of art. Thank you, Phil, for working with nature instead of trying to bend it to the approval of the masses. I find your videos a restful place after the chaos of the day. Thank you!
How nice! 😊 I find you comment pleasing after a tough day in the shop!
I'm glad you saved the bowl, I don't think I've ever seen you make a boring bowl, They're always full of life, like you.
You are amazing
Carsten
Thank you, Carsten! 😀
“ We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents. “ it’s a learning experience, glad you included it in the video. Great work.

Thanks for the education on the drill press yesterday. I have owned a drill press for thirty years and thought it was only used for drilling holes.
Glad to help, Douglas! So many more uses I didn't have time to cover. 😊
I love your vids your a great chap 👍👍
Thank you! 👍
Nice job mate. One of my favourite channel's- no B.S., no sales pitch and plenty of humour
Much appreciated, Paul! 😊
The bowl is delightful. Well done. And I hope your grandson had a lovely birthday party too.

Phil you brought the beauty of that piece of wood out like nobody else could have another beautiful piece of art
Thank you, Kim! 😊
Nice save! The walnut actually compliments the other wood, and you probably won't ever see it anyway!
😊
Always an education when we venture into new territory. Hope you had a good birthday party with your grandson...those are the joy of life, Nice adaptation with the unforeseen hole drill. Thanks for sharing everything.

Too much time invested to toss it, Ron! 😊
Phil! Welcome to the Funnel Club! You McGyvered that bottom right up! I love the walnut bottom!
😊
It is not that one doesn't make a mistake, it is how you can gracefully get your self out of and fix it. Graceful job there Phil
Thank you, Glenn! 😊
Вы свою неудачу, превратили в оригинальное изделие. Вы настоящий мастер.

I really like the oopsie. It coordinates with the bark on the outside. Great bowl Phil! Thanks 😊
Thanks, Karen! 😊
We have all joined the Funnel Club at some point in our turning lives. None the less , it is a beautiful piece Phil.
😊
We all have those Oops moments, nice recovery. Came out real nice, thanks for sharing. 😊

Ha! Just today I had a punky birch tenon snap off and fixed just as you did, although with oak. Another beautiful bowl Phil. I love your laugh.
Rock on! 😊
Another piece of fire wood saved, twice. I love it, I have a log this shape that I didn’t know what to do with it, now I do, but I have no Walnut 🤔. You take care Phil
Hopefully you won't need it, Keith! 😊
I like when skilled folks show their mistakes. I think it's important, at least for folks like me. I have trouble feeling ok with my mistakes. I mean, even though I know it's how a person gets better, I let fear of failing keep me from doing things in practice. So it helps to see failure from skilled folks.
I understand the feeling, fear of failing. Just move past it, put it in the back of your mind instead of the front. So many successes await! 😊
How to transform a whoopsy in a piece of art 😊. Hats off to the artist!
😊
Great video! When the unexpected happens, you worked through it instead of sending it to the burn pile. 👍🏼
I was gonna say "wood doesn't go on trees" but then thought better of it, Mark! 😊
Very nice recovery, Phil. I was so surprised when you show the hole are through the bottom of the bowl, I started smiling. Your normally so careful to check to ensure your not going through. Mistakes happen. Love the finished bowl..
I guess I was distracted by my need to hurry, Russ. It won't happen again! Well, until next time, anyway! 😊

Phil , It’s amazing how some of the wood you use looks like half chewed gum , but you get some gorgeous bowls and things out of them. You truly have a talent. Love your videos.👍👍👍👍🙏
I really appreciate this, Mark, thank you! 😊
Nice contrast with the two different woods. I like it. Looks planned. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Kathie! 😊
It's just gorgeous Phil & Ash is such a beautiful wood 🪵 & that walnut fix me up looks like it should be there 😀 now that I've seen it done, I'd love to see a big bowl with a fix me up with a fine bottom, the contrasting, with all the natural elements looks phenomenal 😊
Thank you, Karen! 😊
I always wondered what would happen if you drilled to deep. Now I know. Nice recovery Phil. The piece is beautiful. The plug looks like a branch coming out the bottom.
Thanks for the show.

That bowl has a lot of neat characteristics Phil.

This one is great. I love when a person can laugh at themselves. Cheers Phil
Thanks, Steve! 😊
Again a cool job, well done Phil. Sometimes a good repair makes things even more attractive.
😊
And people say there is always a first time for everything, and Sr for the first time, I did doubt something good was about to come out from this wood. But I was wrong....I am impress as always with the result! You are the best...
Thank you, Reba! 😊
Just Wow! I've been turning bowls and watching videos on turning bowls and we all know what things look like with a standard blank and everything goes according to plan. I really learned a lot from you choosing orientation from this chunk, giggling at the mistake to making it into something even more that it would have been otherwise. You've mastered this craft good sir, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much, Andrew! 😊
Like the contrasting woods. Looks good. Glad it wasn’t a throw away.
😊
Wow Phil,
I love it. You just showed me what to do when you drilled a hole deeper than the outside of the vase.
What you did with a marvelous piece of wood.
Thank you, Roger! 😊
