- As a woodturner, it's great to have the opportunity to turn woods that are not local and not available to me if it weren't for my great and generous viewers. Such is the case with this Red Bud. I've never heard of it much less had the chance to turn it but thanks to a friend of the channel in Tennessee, here it is! With it's beautiful bark, natural edge and fantastic grain and colors, it's one of my new favorite pieces!

This piece is the best possible. The balance between grain, bark, uneven wood design plus your artistry makes it absolutely outstanding.
I'm so glad you like it, Jeanette, thank you! 😊
We have red bud trees all over here, but most of them are not so large. They bloom early in the spring with the prettiest deep pink flowers. I just adore that the bowl looks like a flower!
I agree, Nan, the flower look is just perfect! 😊
Another masterpiece from the maestro. Keep them coming Phil. Thanks.
Thank you so much, Wayne!
Phil
The name "Red Bud" comes from it being one of the first trees to flower in spring. The flowers are a beautiful reddish purple. I have seen branches of one of these trees have a almost maroon red core and light brown on the outside.
Yes it is a very hard wood and grows slowly. The piece you have is from a very old tree. Every Red Bud I've ever seen was very small in size. Great job, once again
Red Bud trees are not common and generally grow in the piedmont region of the south east and north into southern Ohio and West Virginia. It also has a heart shaped dark green leaf. Those of us in the south know that spring is here when the Red Bud blooms. ;-)
Thanks for the very interesting information, Robert! 😊
The finished piece looks to me almost like some kind of clam shell. Very reminiscent of an ocean creature. Beautiful!
It does look like that, Sabrina! 😊
Great looking red bud bowl
One of the things I like the best about your channel Phil, is the variety of wood species you turn. Very interesting to see the variety of bark and grain. This piece was particularly fun to watch because it didn’t seem to be deep enough for a bowl. What a beauty! Another excellent job Phil. I also like the explanation of each tool and the speed you turn at. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Kelvin! I'm very fortunate to have so many generous viewers that share their wood with me. I don't know where I would be without them!
Phil
Beautiful piece! Another wood that is new to me. It looks like a clam shell. So pretty.
Or a catchers mitt! 😊
It is a piece of art displaying inner beauty of the wood. Thanks for sharing.
Exactly how I feel, Lee, thank you!
Phil
Awesome bowl, I always enjoy watching your technique and you never shy away from Gnarly pieces.
Mesmerizing to watch you work! That wood is gorgeous! Glad no damage was done when it came off
😊
It's a beauty! I love how you keep your pieces as natural as possible. You have real talent! 😊👍💕
Hard to improve on Mother Nature, Sunshine! Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
Phil
One georgous petal bowel ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇬🇧🙏
Thank you, Maud! 😃
Another beautiful piece of "firewood". (-:
Another great piece. I've watched 5 of your videos today so far. You would think that's all I do is watch videos. Every chance I get.
Wow, thank you, Donny! 😊
Beautiful piece of wood Phil
Hi Phil, yes it is a beauty and you made it comming out of that piece. It''s just gorgeous with that grain, the bark inclusions and the natural edge. I love that. First I thought, it would be verry hard to get enough thickness with that rotten inside, but you made it! Great work Phil
Really glad you like it, Gunther, thank you!
Phil
Hi Phil, Just when I thought that you could not come up with a piece of wood that looks more unlikely to be turned into a bowl you show us this. The finished bowl is astonishing, the grain, the bark it just all works superbly. Fantastic work Phil. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
I had my doubts, Huw, but you just don't know until you try. Thank you, my friend!
Phil
Great bowl, Phil!
Thank you, Rick!
Phil
Hey... Bud... I'd say that's a "Rotten Red Bud-weiser" but you Phil have turned a beautiful Christmas Nut Bowl out of it.. ! 👍🎅
"Rotten Red Bud-weiser" Love it, Laurie!
Phil
What a fantastic piece you have turned Gary. I have never heard of them either but was surprised to see that they grow in Australia too. There are such amazing colours in the very strong & interesting grain. The natural edges & inclusions conspire to show off the grain to perfection. I stand in awe of the pieces you produce with such skill. Long may you continue to produce them.
I'm Phil, not Gary, but thank you, Donald, I'm glad you like it!
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Sorry Phil, just shows I watch a lot of both of you.
@@donaldadams5342 No worries, Don! 😊
Nice grain patterns made the most of the wood.
😊
Beautiful Bowl Phil👍

Thank you so much, Wayne!
Phil

Another lovely piece, Phil. Love the grain of redbud as it can be very pretty.
Billy
Thanks, Billy! Merry Christmas my friend.
Phil
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop And a very Merry Christmas to you, Phil!
Billy
Just a work of art
😊
Great looking piece Phil!
I think it's gorgeous
😊
Beautiful piece Phil.
Hi Phil,
What a beautiful and interesting piece of wood!
Well done on the finished piece, it`s a beauty!
Best regards
Lars
Glad you like it, Lars, thanks!
Phil
Another beauty
Breathtaking
😊
That’s an awesome piece Phil!
Thank you, Bruce!
Phil
Hi Phil....beautiful bowl ...I love the grain and the colours in that red bud...you should have given the bowl wings..(.get it..red bull wings ).... the shape reminds me of a baseball glove or whatever you Americans call them... we play rounders...ha ha....great result...great video...All the best.....Andy
Thank you, Andy, for your delightful, put a smile on my face, comment!
Phil
Turned out really good!
I'm glad you like it, Santo, thank you!
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Great work.
Red bud gets it name from the red buds along its branches in the spring.
A timely post. I live in Belleville IL. Today, in front of my house, a 60 year old red bud was cut down. The tree company gave me several pieces. I hope I can turn a piece half as fine as you did!
Oh wow, how cool, Mark! It's a pretty wood, have fun with it! 😊
Phil, the bowl looks sensational. Another great job in the books.
I think Phil knows a lot of people that say "what the heck am I going to do with this? Oh, I'll send it to Phil, he'll tackle anything?" And Phil always does something marvelous.
All I can say is what a gorgeous turning, I just love the natural edge.
Phil that bowl has a WOW factor off the scale. And it sure wasn't a Bud Lite. All those features wrapped up in one. The grain just swirls between all the inclusions. You could look at it for hours not see everything because it would change as you moved it. Sure glad you was able to save that bark. Not an easy turn but you would not know that watching you.
So we just had a Sweet Gum taken out earlier this year and planted an Oklahoma Red Bud. It is a Bud Lite right now because it less than 2 inches at the base. Gee I wonder what I could turn out of that? And ours even had a few red buds right after we planted it.
Great job buddy!
Gary
That's so cool you have your own Red Bud tree, Gary. I'm curious how it will grow for you in this climate.
It sure makes for a pretty bowl. The grain, as you pointed out, is just spectacular.
Thank you, my friend!
Phil
I'm from Tennessee also and it's called redbud because it has red blooms on it in the spring.
Beautiful!
Wow, Phil, that is so gorgeous!
I love it, the piece came out beautifly. Ty for this video, i learned stuff from it.
I'm so glad, Ice, thank you very much!
Phil
Gorgeous
That's just so beautiful. It must be hard to turn something like that...
Not too hard, just takes time, M D
Good job 👍🏼
Waw ..!!!
Really nice Phil, what a challenge..
A challenge indeed, John. Thank you!
Phil
Very nice
You're"Phearless Phil." Thanks for being a great inspiration.
Hahaha, love it, Richard, thank you!
Phil
We have a lot of redbuds here in NW Arkansas. They have beautiful red buds in the spring. Also a lot of dogwood trees. Maybe I can find some to turn. Great job on the piece 👌
😊
Hey boys and girls, guess what time it is? Its Howdy, as we like to say here at Shady Acres. Watch me pull a rabbit...oops! that a different show. Sorry! ya put me in a good mood this morning. As I sit here in the Peanut Gallery, I watch Mr. Phil do his magic. That Red Bud looks like a very dry scary, knarley piece of wood, "BUT" after a little finessing with some sharp tool steel and the grace of a surgeon WAa LAa!!! , a beautiful Bowl? Art? Whatever! it is outstanding. ThankQ
I'm glad you got the reference, gramps! You and I must be of the same vintage! Thank you for your delightful comment!
Phil
Howdy Phil
WOW so many colors ! Yes funny name " RED bud " and all yellows and browns
It sound that it was hard woos cutting .
Happy it did not hit you fling out ...got to use that non fly out wood... LOL
Pause it when you were showing ....could not see anything but the grand canyon look....all the ring like is like the levels in the canyon
keep on turnin'
I've been searching for the non fly out wood, Bruce but it's hard to come by! LOL!
Thank you my friend!
Phil
Looks great.
Thanks, Red!
Phil
I live in Tennessee and have a few redbud trees on my property but that wood really looks like poplar but I've never seen a burl on a poplar tree either but I guess there's always a first time.. anyway great looking bowl keep up the good work
I can’t believe that could come out of the chuck and not blow up! You are either as good as I think you are or very very lucky! I’m pretty sure you’re that good. My compliments, sir. Another beautiful piece! Thanks for sharing your expertise, Phil.
.....Gord
I try not to turn anything I think will blow up, Gord. Fortunately, I was right with this one. Thank you so much, my friend!
Phil
Thank You Phil...(Thank You Tennessee Contributor)..Different stuff is always fun.."what time is it"??, I thought "Howdy Doody Time", guess that dates me!!! ..Your Red Bud Bowl tried to fly back to Tennessee???..Beautiful wood, looks like furniture grade wood...I personally like the bug holes, more the merry-er 4 this holiday season.....tm
Howdy Doody Time is what I was going for, Tuffy. You nailed it! The grain pattern reminds me of Cherry Plum, just different colors. It is very pretty.
Thank you, my friend!
Phil
Very,,very,,very nice bowl.....
Gorgeous bowl. Redbuds are beautiful native ornamental trees and, now, I know they can make beautiful bowls.
Love this. Great grain and bark inclusion. Simply beautiful.
Another great transformation of a unique piece of ??? Into a thing of beauty. Thanks. Very inspirational.
Me thinks somebody forgets to tighten down the chuck jaws....... Another fantastic looking piece though Phil it would take pride of place on most folks mantle piece
Two kinds of redbud eastern which can be a tree and western which is mostly a bush, flowers on both are purple. I like the redbuds here in calif.
Thanks for the info, Judith!
Hi phil,love your videos .I live on Australia's east coast and would like to see you do some work Aussie burls..Aussie wood is very hard on tools but the end result can be beautiful.I will continue to watch your excellent presentations.👍
Ah, yes, I have seen some of the great wood available in Australia. Thank you so much for taking your time to watch and comment!
Phil
I'd never heard of a redbud tree before either. Googled it. It's a beautiful tree and you made a beautiful bowl. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely gorgeous Phil, another excellent turn my friend.
Cheers
Mike
Thank you so much, Mike! The grain in this was a pleasant surprise!
Phil
Amazing, great skill, great wood, lovely looking bowl. Well done as usual 🏴🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻
I have never seen a red bud that big
They bloom just before the dogwood early spring
Good to know, Judith!
Heavens to Betsy! Another favorite! I love how it sits.
That's one of my favorite parts too, Houston! Thank you!
Phil
Wow! I’ve never herd of red bud wood but it sure is pretty. Thank you for another great video.
Such a nice piece. What a joy to watch what emerges from the wood. Thanks Phil
Never heard of Redbud, but I love the name, and that grain is like nothing else I’ve seen. Another gorgeous piece!
Pretty name, pretty grain, Cara! Thank you so much!
Phil
We have 4 red buds in our yard. They have beautiful purple-ish pink blossoms in the spring and when the leaves come on they are heart shaped. Don't know why they are called red buds but I love them anyway.
Thank you for the description, Christi!
Phil
More appropriately should be pink bud. They are very common in the southerly direction Appalachian mountains. Homeowners plant them as ornamentals for their bright pink flowers. They are a small tree or shrub. Rarely do you see a piece of wood from them that’s as big as your piece.
Wow, that’s a stunner Phil. I love the wood and the finish is amazing. Thanks so much for sharing your work. Have a great weekend, Jules, Droitwich, England.
Wow
😊
That is a nice piece.
You know some nice people to send you such nice stuff👍
I have the best, most generous viewers in the land! Thank you!
Phil
That had to have been a huge redbud tree. I've never seen one with that kind of size
That was my first thought also.
What a lovely bowl! I’m not always a fan of a natural edge but this bowl had to have one to highlight that bark. As usual, nice job, Phil!
Another awesome turn Phil, I've never heard of Red Bud either what beautiful wood. Thanks for sharing and a very Merry Christmas.
Love the colors in dish Phil. 👍🇺🇸
As usual,a great piece. Really looks good with a lot of character. Great job once again Phil.
Thank you so much, Ron!
Phil
In mid-Michigan, redbud trees are a decorative tree that has beautiful red buds in the spring time.I haven't seen any that are thick enough to produce a blank like you turned. I must be at the northern limit for growing these, at least until global warming catches up. I planted 5 in my yard in the 90's, and they grew for two years and then died during a very cold winter. My neighbor has one in her courtyard (protected from the wind) and it does quite well, though.
I have 1 here in central ohio been there for about 15 years its about 12 inch trunk
Thank you for the info, Doug!
Phil
Final shape looks a bit like an abalone shell. That red bud may have looked daunting, but you once again tamed the raw wood into a beautiful finished piece.
The grain is truly beautiful isn't it, Valerie? Very surprising considering the starting piece. Thank you my friend!
Phil
Beautiful bowl, Phil. The shape reminds me of a water lily. I have several redbud trees here in Ohio. The name is probably because of the flowers in the spring.
Thank you, William! Good to know about the flowers.
Phil
turned out great phil really nice . love how its gnarly but still looks beautiful
That's my favorite part too, DDM. Thank you!
Phil
Beautiful piece of wood Phil, I love the cream and green colours running through it! Interesting to see it come out of the chuck jaws like that, it looked like it bounced out.
It did bounce a little, David, but luckily, no damage. Thank you!
Phil
That’s a truly unique piece Phil, yet another species I’m not familiar with. I love it !!
Cheers
Geof (🇬🇧)
New to me, too, Geof. The grain sure did surprise me!
Phil
WOW ABSOLUTELY STUNNING
I'm still having limited success trying to make natural edge, natural everything bowls, but I so enjoy the steady instruction your videos provide that when I got the email alerting me that you have a new one, I said, out loud, "Phil!" Thanks as always.
I'm so glad you are trying new things in the way of natural turnings, Perry. I think you will find it quite rewarding. HA! Your "Phil!" comment has me laughing but also sitting up just a little straighter. Thank you for that!
Phil
As I've said before Phil, you are truly an artist. I have heard of red bud here in central Florida, I can't recall ever having seen one.
Great video as always.
Phil that's a pretty piece, we have a lot of Red Bud in Tennessee, I never see them growing large they are pretty much the size of Dogwood and have small red buds or blossoms about the time the dogwoods bloom
Being from "Redbud Country" I can tell you they named it for the flowers... sort of. They are pink!
Good to know, Kerri, thank you!
Phil
Nice job Phil. Looked a testy turn! Love the wood.
B
Nice piece, Tennessee has a lot of Red Buds. They bloom in the spring and have more of a purple bloom than red. I have turned some limbs I pruned off of my Red Bud and they have nice grain and color. You got a nice piece out of that hunk of wood.
Thanks for the Red Bud demo! I’ve got a red bud log drying in my shed. I saved it when I removed the tree about a year ago. Now I have some idea of what it will look like. It is a very dense wood and the trees don’t seem to grow real big before they die out. I’ve got three more still growing in my back yard. As always you’ve done a masterful job turning a very difficult chunk of wood into a piece of art! Thanks for sharing.
Love to see yours when you get the chance to turn it, Bob. Thank you!
Phil
It's called red bud because in the spring it has small red buds all over it. It is one of the first trees to bud out in early spring.
Thanks for the info, Horace!
Phil
Pretty wood, nice work.
