Ginkgo Biloba Salt Cellar! - Wood Turning
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 มี.ค. 2021
- I watch a lot of cooking videos, saw one of the guys I watch using one of these and had to have one. I think it will be very handy! Turned from Ginkgo Biloba! Some folks call them salt box or just salt dispenser. I really like the swivel lid for ease of use and protection of the salt. Could also be used to store jewelry or any small items.

Well! I don't know! An even - sided piece from Phil Anderson. What ever next! LOL
Well done Phil, it looks great.
Lol
I know, Bryan, it's like someone took over my body! LOL!
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Too many "The Twilight Zone"s Phil? LOL
Hi Phil, Your salt cell box turned out great !!!!! And don't worry about being a tad forgetful. Yesterday I was working on chores around the house and I stopped to take a break. Well I forgot to start back up on doing the chores again. Mommy Dearest has already reminded me that today is a new day and a great one to finish the chores I was working on. I'm stalling by going for a second cup of coffee.
Hahaha, thanks, Freddie, for my morning chuckle! 😊
Somewhat Japanese in style. The wall looks right to me: 1/2 inch. The right kind of wood for the piece. Well done, Phil.
😊
It’s so funny to listen to you saying « of course we’ll do... » when you are actually walking us through your cue. Yes of course Phil I would do that as well!!
Haha... Well, I can feel you all around me and it's like we're just chatting, Sylvie! 😊
Another fine piece. You don't need frills when you have functionality. 🐿
Exactly, Barb. It's just meant to function and it does that, nicely! 😊
Interesting, I've never seen a salt pot like yours, so I looked them up in Amazon, there was one identical to yours with a spoon lying flat in the lid! You learn something every day, good job Phil😍🇬🇧
😊
Love the result! Turned out beautifully. Amazon stuff is mass produced. I love simple, practical things most desirable to me. Just love it.
Thank you, Michalene! 😊
I love your salt box. It's simple but that's what makes it beautiful. I wish you sold your work so I could order several... oh well life moves on. ♥️😊
😊
Utilitarian pieces serve a purpose. Homes need 'em. I think the grain is quite pleasing to look at. Well done. 👍👍👍
Thank you, Vicki!
I like the little pot. I’m glad it did not turn out darker. Great job!
😊
You have a sort of swoosh in the grain at the bottom of the bowl. Great for grabbing a dab of salt while cooking! What a lovely piece!
😊
Nice piece Phil. Every cook should have one. I would say it is perfect.
Thanks 👍
I read a few of the comments and I think we all agree It looks pretty darn cool.
Good to know, Don, thank you! 😊
I want to make one that has 2 boxes and a lid. One for black pepper and one for salt. I think yours looks so simple and elegant like it knows it's perfect and doesn't need to impress anyone. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Sounds like a great idea, J'Lyssa! Yes, this one is quite plain but it's doing it's job well and I couldn't ask for more. 😊
I like the side-wall. Actually think I prefer it to a thinner one.
Great little piece. Going to make one for my daughter out of Monterey Pine.
Thank you for posting.
Sounds great, Richard, I'm sure she'll love it!
Nice job! I enjoy watching your videos. Much better than watching tv.
Glad you like them, Cosmo, thank you!
Phil. Great little gift item - finally a useful thing to give to friends & family. Thanks for sharing. Dennis
Useful to me, for sure, Dennis! It's working out great! 😊
I think that was a very cool project. I enjoy making stuff for my kitchen. I will put that on my to do list.
Go for it, Donald! 😊
Not your usual project, but a great design, mine has square edges inside, and you are right, it is a pain 😁
Enjoyable video, thank you for sharing 😉
Thanks for the confirmation, Silverlady. I don't know what they were thinking with the square corner in the bottom. Thank you for watching! 😊
Never heard of Ginkgo Biloba. As a new turner not only am I learning how to turn but also learning of all the different species. I have to google Ginkgo Biloba now. Weather has been nice here also the past two days in Ontario Canada rain today though. Thanks Phil
You should find that the species is 270 million years old and is considered a living fossil, Sheldon. Pretty interesting wood. Good to hear the weather is improving for you, here, too!
Anyone can buy one for $15. But you have a Phil Anderson original! Priceless!! Looks great.
😊
Nice one Phil ..👍
Glad you enjoyed it, Andy, thank you! I'll be catching yours very soon! 😊
This is a useful little project, which would, indeed, make a good gift! Christmas is a-comin' !
😊
That's nice and would make nice gifts!!! Probably could sell also as that's what I do with most of my stuff in my retirement LOL!!!
Happy turning to you!👍
Wish I had time to sell some of my stuff, Jon. 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop sometimes I have a personal attachment to them ! And sad to see them go but I'm happy to see someone else enjoy them to!
Funny you said they would make great gifts. I live in N. California, Napa and always go for a drive in the evenings with my labradoodle and often come across olive farmers trimming back the trees this time of year. I turn a bunch of olive wood salt cellars and rolling pins last year for Christmas gifts last year and I just picked up a bunch more olive wood and everyone is getting a matching cheese board this year. I may even carve some spoons out of the odds and ends. I make a lot of turnings from nut and fruit woods as well because I have free access to the stuff and its beautiful wood. The fruit and nut wood shavings also make great smoker wood too. I just love your work, very inspirational and relaxing.
Wow, sounds like you are fixed for life with all that great wood available to you. Enjoy and thank you for watching! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Well its good at the moment. As soon as my wife retires we are headed back to Michigan where we both grew up. Wood turning and up-cycling are a hobby. I actually have a home business restoring tern of the century pressure lamps and fixtures, from back when big cities lit their streets and homes with gas. Coleman lamps, stoves, irons, heaters and the like.
Elegant salt box. Great job. 👍🏻🇺🇸
😊
I thought Ginkgo Biloba was to help our old brains to remember . Darn I cant remember for sure . Cute little box Phil.
I think you may be right, Steve. Too bad none of that wore off on me while I was turning it. Maybe it will affect the salt and I'll get a better brain over time. Can't hurt, that's for sure! 😊
Sometimes practical is better than high art. depends on the use. I think it's really cool actually. I want one.
It works good, Keith! 😊
Very. Cute I’d love one! Just too far away!! ❤️🇿🇦
😊
That'll do the trick, Phil. Nicely done.
Thank you, Billy! 😊
I think that the proportions were spot on. With it all together the sides are just right. I want to make something like this, but a whole stack of small containers that are all aligned with a brass rod. And then you can spin out the one you need.
Ohhh, cool idea, William! Love to see a picture of it when you're done! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshophi
It is pretty cool!
So nice. Gingo Biloba, the tree of life. Thanks for your fine work on this piece.
I think that grain looks cool turned out well enjoy it Phill
Thank you, Wade!
Very nice Phil. Sometimes utilitarian pieces give us the most pleasure because we're constantly touching them. Remember, no salty language while cooking!
Haha, the salty language usually comes while eating the cooking, Jim! 😊
I've already watched this video once but I'm about to make a couple of kitchen canisters for my wife so I've just watched it again. Thanks Phil.
Hope it was helpful, John, enjoy your process!
How NICE! Its lovely!!
😊
Just PERFECT!
Thank you, Eunice! 😃
Phil that's nice my wife would like that thank you for sharing. James
😊
Awesome 😎
Thank you! Cheers! 😊
Lovely practical piece Phil, thanks!
Glad you like it, Paully, thanks!
Good simple little salt cellar. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching 😊
Really cool! A nice family heirloom!
We agree! 😊
Elegance in simplicity. Very nice peice.
Thank you, Jillian! 😊
Hi Phil, I think it came out great. The off centered growth ring pattern is great decoration in and of itself, so forgetting to use the spiraling tool was your inner self guiding you to the right path. The bottom spiral is all it needed, except for the artist signature & date. Cheers, Tom
Thank you, Tom! 😊 I didn't sign it because it's just for me and I know who made it! LOL!
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop OK for now, but someday in the future when someone finds it in an antique shop they won’t know the artist who made the lovely piece nor when it was made. Just saying 😉 Cheers, Tom
@@tomcoker9882 I love the way you think, Tom. I think the same way.
Came out great, love it.
Awesome! Thank you, Red! 😊
Looks great
Thanks, Martin! 😊
Great idea 💡
Glad you think so! Thanks!
Very cool!
Thanks, Tina! 😊
THAT turned out cool phill. thanks.
Thanks, Manjit!
That's a beautiful salt cellar, I have a red glass one but I would love to have one like that.
Thank you, Mary! 😊
Liked the round bottom, makes sense ALOHA
😊
I like it. It has a nice minimalist charm.
Cool, thank you, Jay!
Simple, elegant styling. Very functional. Thanks, Dave for supplying the ginkgo. Glad you got out and enjoyed our one nice day. Spring seems to be a bit late this year. Even the migratory birds are slow to come through.
Glad you enjoyed it, Valerie! I know what you mean about the birds and late spring. I haven't seen anywhere near the variety of most years. They'll be along, though, just gotta warm up and dry out a bit more. 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Watching Wayne the Woodturner’s video from yesterday. Your name mentioned in regards to the wood he was turning. They said it looked like a piece you would turn! And quite so, very gnarly (but no bark).🤪👍🏻
@@valeriehenschel1590 Cool, thanks for letting me know!
That is awesome Phil
Thanks, Sheila! 😊
It’s perfect. I’d sure buy it!
😊
Phil. It looks beautiful. I would love to have one. Take care stay warm and happy.
Thanks, Bonnie, you too! 😊
Great job Phil. Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Glad you like them, Joseph, thank you! 😊
A unique and functional piece, as always, great job Phil!
Glad you like it, John, thank you! 😊
What a great idea Phil that will be good 👍 to use
😃
Beautiful piece. ♥️
Thank you, Maddie! 😊
Pill, sometimes it's the simple things that keeps us moving forward. Love the little bottom detail. I think I enjoyed the side-by-side ride too.
Ah, wish you could have been with me, Ray! We could of stopped in for a couple beers, pool and woman chasing! LOL!
Some good pointers her Phil. Thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome, Chris, thanks for watching!
Nice idea for the domed bottom. Thanks for the teaching Phil.
You are very welcome, Jay, thanks for watching!
The nice thing about plain grain is it doesn't distract from the shape and structure, which are also aesthetically pleasing. I like it just the way it is, thick walls and all.
Cool! It's working out quite nicely. 😊
Phil, your turning is like those old
Flat-head V-8 motors, smooth and accurate. Simple little box but so eloquently built. And of course your most descriptive explanations. I’ll bet your cooking is the same way!!thanks for sharing. Have a great week-end.
About all I can say is, my cooking is edible, Kid. But, I keep trying! Thanks for your time today, I appreciate it! 😊
Thank you Phil.
Thanks for watching, John!
Very nice. It’s different from your typical turnings. I like it.
Thank you, Dave! Yes, very different but it was fun to do.
Excellent project. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, Ken! 😊
Mother nature never intended on perfection if so we would never find the beauty in it. Happy turning Phil.
Thank you, Edward!
Salt cellar. Pretty cool
😊
Cool one Mr Phil..
Thank you, Bobby! 😊
I like your honesty Phil. Thank you. Still enjoying the makes 😁👍
I appreciate that, thank you! 😊
Second time through for this one! Such a good idea for a farmers market. Thanks Phil.
cheers,
Rick
Glad you enjoyed it, Rick! 😊
I so enjoy your postings. Thank you
Glad you like them, Robert, thank you for watching! 😊
Very nice!
Thanks for the visit, Jan! 😊
Looks good Phil,
Thanks, T T! 😊
I like it. Simple and functional. Looks good too.
Glad you like it! Simple and functional is what I was after.
Very nice piece Phil. Love it.
Thank you, Carl!
Nice job Mr.Phil
Thanks for watching, Donald!
great salt box and I agree the swing lid is probably easy open for when your wiping up a gourmet meal
I don't know about gourmet, Luie, but I do like my salt! LOL!
I really love this.
😊
Great job Phil, I really liked this one, simplistic and functional.
Right on, that's what I was after. 😊
Great and very handy
I haven't tried it yet, Gregg, but I expect to like it. 😊
I love it. 👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Cool, thanks, Carol! 😊
Great job phill👍
😊
Great work Phil. Elegant in a simple way. Nice grain. I like that offset ( must have been a branch?) and the thick walls.Take care and keep turning. Bill Riley
Thank you, Bill! 😊
A beautiful utilitarian piece! I actually really like the subtly patterned grain in the wood. Great job , Phil!
Glad you like it, Sabrina, thank you! 😊
I must turn one of these. Such a great idea. We had a Gingko Biloba in our back yard growing up, so this piece has particular sentimental appeal. On a side note .. I sat all through the video wondering what a side by side was, and had to look it up. It's called an off-roader in New Zealand 😁
We call them off-roaders here, too, Denise but that fits a larger class of vehicles. Most of them are one person but the side by side holds two and sometimes four or six! Lotsa fun in any event! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop absolutely fun 🤩
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure, Jude!
I think Jack Dempsey said it best another great job
Thank you, George!
looks really good and practical also
It works great, Earl, thanks! 😊
Funny about the square salt cellars. My little kitchen salt cellar is a much smaller rounded cedar-looking bowl with a rounded shape, inside and out. It just has a little hat of a lid, nothing fancy. :) Your gingko salt cellar is mighty! :D
Haha, yes, mighty! LOL! Thank you, Nan! I was just trying to make it like the one I saw in a cooking video. That cook seems to like his quite a bit so I thought, why not?
It’s a lovely box! I really like the grain, looks very nice with the full cross section on the lid and inside the bowl.
Thanks so much, Anna! 😊
Nice !
Thanks! 😊
I’m never disappointed in your projects Phil 🤙🏽
I'm so glad, Maui, thank you! 😊
Very nice Phil love it take care and God bless
Thank you, Mike!
Great job😊
😊
Very very nice Phil very nice.
Cool, thanks, Kobie! 😊
I like the effect of the pith and the grain inside the cellar, it creates almost an optical illusion. And you want the Cellar to have weight and your thick walls helped to provide that. Great Piece Phil. Its nice to see you used both wood and metal in your creation. And never forget, there is great beauty in simplicity !
Thank you, Funko! Simplicity is what I was after with this piece. I just want it to function and it does! Success! 😊
