- I cannot express how difficult this turning was. I edited out much of my moaning and groaning but I'm sure there's still plenty left in this video. The piece was hard, dry at 4% moisture content, heavy, out of balance and end-grain! It has lots of cracks and crevices, voids, holes and just nature in general. I do think it turned out pretty nice and I'm glad it's over! LOL!

Phil, you are a pure pleasure to listen to. You’re forthright and self effacing… very genuine and so incredibly knowledgeable and talented. Thank you so much for sharing all you are, and do, with all of us. 👍 and as usual, an absolutely gorgeous piece…wow that’s beautiful!
Wow, thank you, Cynthia! You made me sit up all straight and everything! No one can see me but I'm beaming! 😊
Love that olive wood. Got a 40 year old olive tree in my front yard. Love the gnarly shape. Great job on that bowl, wish I could feel that smoothness!
I wish you could feel it, too! Thank you! 😊
This is your best olive wood turning yet. The way the grain popped was marvelous. Not surprised at the beauty. Seeet.
Thank you, Stewart! 😊

Really great fight Phil, well done pal. :-)
Right back atcha, Bryan! Thank you for that, I feel lifted up! 😊

Hard and difficult and what a great result! Thank you for your persistence and your wonderful commentary.
Glad you enjoyed it, Tim, thank you! 😊
That angry looking chunk of olive wood turned out to be a really lovely bowl! You did amazing job, Phil! Thank you.
Thank you very much, Texana! 😊
You're videos are so fun to watch. I find it very satisfying to watch the wood get gouged and shaved away. These are my new "ahhhhh, the day is over and I can relax" videos! THANKS!!!
Awesome, thank you, Leslie! 😊
Phil… Angry no more, very rustic, nicely done. Thanks for bringing us along.
You bet, thanks for watching! 😊
Never have enough olive wood. The grain has so much expression and character. You made another wonderful piece. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much, Jude! 😊

Phil;
The marks on this wonderful piece are from the chainsaw jaws.
@@davewhatley444 Ok, Dave

Thanks for getting back to me Phil. I will be retiring on the 28th of May and intend to take up turning as hobby. You are one of my favorite turners along with Al Furtado who is no longer turning. You do beautiful work, and I hope to be able to do some of that in time.
Incidentally, how is your arm, and what did you do to it?
@@davewhatley444 Doc said tennis elbow. It's healing nicely, thanks!
Absolutely beautiful I’m in love with this angry bowl.
Very cool, thank you so much! 😊
This was a great decision. I loved the way it turned out. I love it when you can keep the bark😊❤
Thank you! 😊
That is some beautiful wood and a Master turning and creating a one of kind Masterpiece
Thank you so much, Donald! 😊
Stunning piece of work! Love the coloring of the wood and cracks lend to the personality of the aged wood. Angry is right lol
Thank you so much, Wendy! 😊
Hi Phil, it's always a great pleasure for me to look at your turning, especially since you chose the same kind of wood that I love 😉👍
Good to know, Jean-Louis, thank you! 😊
Turned out beautiful Phil. A silk purse from a sows ear. Great job! Thanks for teaching.
Glad you liked it, Michael, thank you for watching! 😊
I love working with big ugly pieces of wood because mostly they turn into beautiful pieces like this,great work Phil.
😊
Another amazing piece of art, I love the renaissance feeling I get from this bowl. It’s a beauty.♥️
Thank you so much, Maddie! 😊
I love how you try to keep as much nature as you can in your work. Nice work.
That is almost always my goal, I'm glad you can see that, thank you! 😊
I like it as much as you do. Gnarled is beautiful. You did a grand job. Thank you to Dan for sending and you for sharing and see you very soon.
So nice of you, thank you so much! 😊
My favorite of all four olive pieces! Beautiful.
Groovy, thank you, Laura! 😊
I appreciate your attention to sanding and finishing. Makes all the difference! Thanks, Phil! Another spectacular piece "for all to enjoy" indeed....
My pleasure, Peter! That finish is sooo important. I'm glad you understand that. Thank you!
The grumpy ones, they are the ones you remember, and often the ones that you keep. Normally this is where the wife joke would go, but she is such a sweetie pie, I just can't do it. I wish I had the patience to do the finishing half as well as you do, you really make them pretty.
Haha, good one, William! That finish is sooo important. Spend a little time and watch the reaction of people that pick the piece up. That will convince you it's worth the effort. 😊
Ever heard the phrase “no matter how good she looks, someone somewhere thinks she’s a b*tch”? That’s what your comment and Phil’s editing reminded me of. He cut out all his cursing to bring us a beautiful bowl! 😂👌🏼👍🏼😁
Hi.Again can't say enough how much gratitude for the teaching aspect of your series.
Thank you, Ron! 😊
Fabulous, the dark tone remained, and with a rounded edge it looks old.
Wonderful
Thanks Carsten
I agree, Carsten, the piece looks like 100 years old. It's growing on me! Thank you! 😊
You took a tough wood and made it beautiful! Thanks Phil, always a good show.
Thank you very much, Frank!
this one has so much character. looks ancient. like it has stories to tell. really awesome wok
Agreed, thank you! 😊
Love the gloss on this finished piece
Absolutely one of your best

Upon seeing big holes, cracks, and bumpy bark:
Everyone else: "Let's turn this until it's smooth and fill this with sparkly resin!"
Zen Master Phil: "Perfect as it is."
👍👍👍 💖💖💖 Oh, I would so like to spend time petting this bowl!
BTW, those olive pieces look almost like bone. So fine!
PS - My stepmom in Austin, TX, says a neighbor of hers sent a chunk of their tree to a gentleman in the Pacific Northwest to turn, and now we're wondering. Could that have been you? Hmm. Small world.
Haha, thank you, Nan! 😊 Hard to improve on Mother Nature!
Could be, if I knew the name I could tell you. I've been very fortunate to receive lots of wood from all over, including Texas.
Phil, you have the eye when deciding what and how you will turn something I wish I had just a small amount of the skill and talent you have, you never disappoint! Love the cracks and the finish, another beautiful turning! thank you for the kind words..........some of which are true. LOL. Regards
Wow, thank you, Dan, but, I've seen your work and you seem to be quite capable of turning out beauty, which admittedly is not difficult with this Olive wood. This piece was a bugger to turn but I'm happy with the results. Thank you, again, for bringing it up here! 😊
Love that olive wood, it's beautifull . I get the impression, watching your videos, that you don't like using carbide tools, why is that ? Thanks for the videos, I look forward to the next ones.
You are correct, Lee. It's just me, I know there are lots of turners that use carbide quite successfully. I feel like they don't allow me to feel the wood. I feel like they take the art out of turning, for me. I also feel, it's not as fun to watch. Besides, I started with carbide and fought long and hard to learn to use HSS tools and I'm going to celebrate that every chance I get! 😊 Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop 👍 Well keep it up, I really look forward to enjoying every one of your works of art.
Oh Phil, this is a beauty and chunky bowl. Ice bucket, salad bowl, vegetable server, possibly pop a top on it and make it the spare change bank. Floating candle center piece. A great base to hold a fresh, live 3' or 4' Christmas tree 🎄 or potted house plant 🌵.
If you pop a top on it with a smooth rounded 1" hole in it, anyone who knits or crotchets would love to put their ball of yarn in it so it's not tangling or rolling around the room and again, it's beautiful and heavy so it won't tip and roll over either. So many possibilities. Limited only by the imagination.
I'm glad you like it, thank you, Jessi!
Terrific result, Phil. So much character and story in its life as an olive tree.
Thank you! 😊
Well worth the effort Phil, the grain and finish is just beautiful. Keep safe, John
Thank you, John, you stay safe, too! 😊
This bowl looks more creepy after turning than before, Phil 😱😁 Looks like Groot on the hangover 😂 But even with this is gorgeous and totaly one of kind. Awesome work my friend 👍
Stay safe and healthy.
Rav
You are right, Rav! LOL! I feel like it's watching me every time I walk by! 😊
Great ancient piece of wood became a piece of culture in your skilld hands. Thank you for sharing, it's a really fascinating story of transformation! 🌹🌹🌹
Thank you very much, Sun Fun! 😊
Gorgeous piece of Olive...it was so great to see the gray disappear and have the gold of the Olive shine through!
Thank you, Carol! 😊
It looks so smooth and soft to touch. I love how you always put lots of effort with the finishes on your work! I love this bowl! It's beautiful! 😍 Brovo 👏 on this piece! 😊❤
Thank you so much, Sunshine! 😊 I'm so glad you like it!

Hi Grandma. Are you a panda or a bear? Have you got bears in Texas? Best regards.
Well Phil you whipped out your 5/8 inch bowl gouge and tamed that piece of angry olive wood!!! Beautiful bowl and the master turner wins again 🥰... thanks for the adventure...
Glad you enjoyed it, Ruthlyn, thank you for your kind comment! 😊
Thank You Phil, Thank You Dan..." it comes from Las Vegas so it has some sand in it" How about some money in it Phil???... That is one NICE chunk of wood 4 you to explore for all of us 2 enjoy!!..Phil it is nice to see you warming up with the Spring time weather and ready to tackle the tough wood....WOW Phil, QUITE THE STUNNER!!!!....Wonderful turning from beginning to end...VERY COOL!!!!!.......TM
76° today, Tuffy! Rain tomorrow but I shall concentrate on today! This piece was hard! Gave your Manzanita a run for it's money, I can tell you! I'm glad you like it, Buddy, thank you! 😊
I said last week that you can't go wrong with oak....WOW olive is beautiful and you did it justice. Just beautiful!!! 102k👍
Thank you very much, Dennis! I'm so glad you like it, means a lot to me! 😊
Phil I’ve learned so much from your videos. I’m a beginner turner. You have taught me so much and I thank you sincerely for that. Your presentation is so genuine and thorough. It’s like listening to a good buddy showing me in my own shop. The way you study a piece of wood to bring out its beauty is so evident. When I have questions when turning I say to myself “what would Phil do?”. You have a very artistic eye and you are such a craftsman. One question I have is what do you do with all the beautiful pieces. Regards, an ardent student of yours.
Bruce, I so agree with your good buddy comment, he does make you feel like a friend standing
in his shop, I’ve always enjoyed his channel. He always responds to every comment.
Wow, such a great comment, Bruce, thank you for that!
Other that a few pieces I have given as gifts, I still have everything I've ever turned. I'd like to be able to sell some but I simply don't have time for packing and shipping.
@@butchgodwin4745 a
I think one of the things I like about your videos is the calm in your voice. You have what I'd call a "Bob Ross" voice. his voice made you want to pint and yours makes you want to turn wood into art. Thanks so much for the lessons.
Wow, thank you! 😊
Simply superb. You are lucky to have friend who supply you with the many olive woods.
Yes I am! Thank you, Naimul!
Beautiful work Phil, I love the piece and yet I would have tackled the same bit of timber differently. Wood turning is such an incredible hobby, so many ways of doing every job and what ever works for you is exactly right for the occasion lol.
Thank you very much, John! 😊
Good job calming that angry piece down phil .. looks great 👍
I agree
Thank you, Andy! It was a pain! LOL!
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshopq
Beautiful job looks amazing
I almost don't believe your vision of the peice at the beginning of the video. I watched it to the end just to see the wood change shape. Thank you for what you do, and for sharing it.
Wow, thanks! 😊
I hope you are doing well. I love watching you bring nature to life. You use what nature made beautifully. 🍾🍾🍾👏👏👏
Yes, I'm doing fine, Jo Ann, thank you! Thank you for watching my videos! 😊
I think your "wire mark" is actually from the chainsaw dogs. I noticed at the beginning, and it was parallel to the cut face. Very cool!
Could be, David, though I don't see individual indents, more of a rub mark but who knows? Thank you! 😊
Was going to saw the same thing. Looks a lot like the dog marks when I’m cutting.
Ok I have to do it FIRST! ok now I will watch...BRB
Ok now I am done watching. Wow that was an angry turning for sure. I know why...that face you showed looked like the guy had rabies .lol
Boy I could feel how tuff that was but well worth it. From what your started with and ended up with was a real transformation. I love the shape and it worked out perfect for what the wood had to offer.
Now I am going to put my tail between my legs and go put some finish on my simple little bowl on the lathe.
Keep up the great work my friend,
Gary
Cool, Gary, it's fun to be first!
Yeah, this was VERY difficult. Second only to that Manzanita cracked bow I turned a couple years ago. This was a couple weeks ago and I'm still warn out from it! LOL!
I'm sure your bowl will be anything but simple. Looking forward to it! 😊
Well the Olive is hard, then you add end grain. I had to take a nap just after watching it. The one I just put the finish on will not be for a few weeks. I will mention it when I post it. Tomorrow will be really simple but a lot of meaning. You will know when you see it.
Gary
Coming from LV I’d say it is desert olive. I’m not positive, but I believe that desert olive is the hardest of olive. I agree with you, it is difficult to turn. But is still some of the most beautiful wood once turned. Love it. Keep them coming.
Thanks for the info, Doug! 😊
Well Phil, simple in it's design, but as you have demonstrated so often in the past, simple is the way to go. SUPERB!
Glad you like it, Mark, thank you! 😊
HOLY S*#T that's a beauty piece I need to get back at it !
Yes you DO!
“Ornery Olive” ... what Popeye gets when his girlfriend is unhappy. 🤪 Hi Cap’n Phil! Olive that bowl! Seriously! Olive it! 😂👍🏼👌🏼
Haha, I'm glad you love it, Blair, thank you! 😊
Good morning, good afternoon , good evening from a very hot Spain at the moment. I wanted to write to you and thank you for igniting a passion, like a volcano, that has been dormant inside me. I am so enjoying the videos especially when your turning 🫒 Olive. I live in a small village where all that can be seen is Olive trees. For winter our Woodburner uses Olive or Almond but now those lovely usual shapes of wood have a different destination. At any one time I have 3 tons of wood ready for the winter. I am a novice but with your enthusiasm I'm feeling confident. On behave of all thank you for ability to put across so clearly the beauty in our natural wood. Harvey from Jaen Spain.
All I know is, among woodturners, Olive wood is highly sought after, Harvey. You are fortunate to have a good supply at your fingertips. It is sooo beautiful! 😊
Phil, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I like ruggedness in things and enjoy what God has created. I love your work, but I also love the way things look as I find them in nature. I really like that piece in its natural state. You did a great job on this piece.
I'm glad you appreciate nature too, Kitty! 😊
That piece certainly has personality...and can feel the weight from here, well done!🇳🇿
Thank you, Wendy! It still feel heavy! 😊
Phil, you're amazing. Sure love this one. How long did it take you to do it?
Thank you, Garth! About 15 hours.
I really like your Turing style. True art pieces. I don't think I've seen a single thing you've made I don't like. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you so much, Garet! 😊
Wowsers, hardwork but well worth it. Can't say enough about it. LOVE everything about it.
Thank you so much, Marge! 😊
I think this is my FAV so far!
.....Newk from Kentucky
Cool! It was a mean one! 😊
Hi Phil this is Duane I Love that angry Olive I grew up on a farm and that looks like a corner post to me what a
New life you gave it keep up the good work
Cool, thanks, Duane! 😊
LOL, maybe a wild hog. That hog has changed into a cute ET? Wow! Beautiful.
Haha, could be, Khan! Thank you! 😊
That’s a nice piece for display Phil. I don’t think I would have tried that but you’re teaching me to look harder at the woods I get. Thanks!
If you can hold it you can turn it, David. I'm glad you are considering other options. Thank you! 😊
I'm dreaming how beautiful it WILL become!
Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder as you know, Greer. I like the finished piece but I'm not sure it's beautiful! 😊
You should be so Proud of this result, Phil. It's something I would love to own.
Thanks, Cliff!
I always love watching the color and grain come out when you seal a piece.
Me too, Karl!
Phil, I have just seen this video from 10 months ago. I love the angry bowl! The wood is fantastic. All the cracks, holes and the spider web on the inside.
Great job on turning this bowl. Again, as always thank you for sharing!
❤🙃
Thank you, Dotty! I love all those features, too! 😊
Beautiful! I love olive. It maybe tough to work at times, but the end result is always worth it!
So true, Andrew! 😊
Absolutely beautiful especially the "spider web" both inside and out
😊
This turned out to be a very nice piece. Every one of your videos makes me want to try something new.
Thank you, Jon! Go ahead, try something new! 😊
Another hard turn, but, oh my, what a beautiful end result. Thank you.
You are so welcome, Patricia, thank you for watching! 😊
Thanks, Phil, for another great video. A very well done piece of olive wood. You brought out the beauty in that angry chunk.
Many thanks, Ray! 😊
Hi Phil
Another beautiful piece,love the grain,thanks for sharing,allways look forward to your next video.
Regards
Thank you, Mal! 😊
Whew! That ornery olive is beautiful! Barbara
😊
What a lovely angry olive! Did like the piggy look too. It is a gorgeous bowl. Great job.
Thank you, M M! 😊 Cheers!
Just magnificent and you make it look effortless. Always a pleasure watching you work your magic.
Thank you very much, George! 😊
Beautiful job Phil. Thanks for sharing. Stay Safe, Jules, Droitwich, England
Thanks, will do, Jules, you too!!
I love how you bring us watchers along with your various thought processes and your gentle humour.
I love that you appreciate that and take your time to watch and tell me! 😊
Just discovered your channel Phil. You are a very talented artist - but your commentary is second-to-none ... Literally have videos playing in background whilst working in the office.
Wow, cool, thank you, Paul! 😊
Phil, you have a great ability to identify how to bring the beauty out of any piece of wood. Another beautiful bowl.
Thank you very much, Neil! 😊
Wonderful.
You are such a craftsman / An artisan extraordinary,
Thank you for posting.
Thank you very much, Richard! 😊
i think it must be happy now that it is not just another piece of wood but something warm, alive, and beautiful.
That's how I think of it, too, Joyce! 😊
Beautiful absolutely beautiful. Years ago when I was a Navy Seabee, we were stationed in Rota Spain. We burned tons of olive wood in the fireplace. It is fantastic firewood, burns slowly and very hot. After seeing this bowl I’m sorry we did! Of course Spain was pretty much carpeted by Olive orchards soooooo….
Yeah, I know where it's common it makes great firewood. Just not so common around these parts, Sam!
Olive wood is one of the best pieces to turn. It has the best grain patterns. I have Mock Olive which looks the same. it's great.
😊
It's not angry anymore. Now, thanks to you, it's a happy bowl with lots of cracks making little smiley faces. So glad you share your talent with all of us. 😊♥️🐾
I'm glad you like it, Mary, thank you! 😊
Perfect. Olive wood has become my favorite on TH-cam, even though I have never turned a piece!!!!! We don't have any here in Montana. I might have to make a trip down south with an empty truck.
Sounds like a plan, Jack!
Olive wood is so beautiful. I had to laugh when you said it looks like a pig. I was just thinking that. I think I'll sneak over and grab a piece. Really lovely bowl.
Agreed, Suzette, I love the look of Olive. Not sure I ever want to turn another one like this, though. It was difficult! Thank you!
I absolutely love your voice and commentary.
How nice, thank you! 😊
As always Phil, an outstanding job on another tough piece. I am putting the finish on a black cherry burl and the whole time turning it I kept thinking, what would Phil do. Hopefully I did you proud.
I'm sure you did, Al! 😊 Thank you!
That sure would look great sitting on my desk. Beautiful piece.
😊
Thank you. This was a tough cut! God Bless and stay safe.
It was! Thanks, Joey! 😊
❤️ Love all them cracks! Beautiful ☺️
Me too!! 😊
I don't know why. But, that piece is giving off a strong "I am Groot!" vibe.
Yes! 😊
You know that a piece of wood is being more stubborn than necessary when Phil breaks out the carbide.
The way the sealer just turns that angry gray wood to gold is amazing.
😊
Took another wild ride, over the cracks and knots, with the willing and the scared! Beautiful Ugly Difficult Glorious Shady Phil Bowl of Love!
Haha, thank you! 😊
Wow...........beautiful! Thanks for posting.
Thank you too, Wayne, for watching! 😊
Phil I could look at that bowl all day long super job buddy!!! Beautiful work.
Thank you very much, Emmett! 😊
Beautiful work 👏! Olive wood is some beautiful stuff! Take care and GOD BLESS!
Thank you, Stephen! You too! 😊
I have very much been enjoying watching your projects over the last few weeks. I’m in my mid 60’s and watching you reminds me of my high school shop class in which I think I created some pretty nice lathe pieces.
That is awesome! Thanks, Paul! 😊
