Bugs and Bark and Chain Saw Marks...hard get much Better!. Hey I think I just wrote a song LOL You got a winner here Phil. And I agree the chain saw mark is the star in this one. Very cool looking. And wow with the flower arrangement it really looks great. I think I will grab my guitar and put some chords to my new song! Great video my friend, Gary
Phil, You are getting very popular! 52K+ subscribers and lots of comments. Nice vase! You take care of yourself my friend! Lots of people who care about you! Respectfully, Kevin
Thank you for sharing making a vase. I have some absolutely beautiful river birch that had some one inch worms in it. Watching your videos has helped me turn my first bowls and I have to admit they are beautiful. The wood makes even me look like a pro. Thanks Phil for your video school on turning. You help so many of us.
Thank You Phil, Thank You Dennis, Thank You Mr.& Mrs. Bug.... Love the Oak and Love the Bug Hotel. The before and after with the flowers looks great. Nice turning and for you Phil an unusual spindle turning...😀😀😀.....TM
Hey Phil. After 40 years of regular carpentry I retired and bought a lathe. I had in mind hoping to make natural and live edge pieces. I learned from you about saving chainsaw marks and other " defects ". I really like them. And friends I gift my pieces to like the natural "defects" too. So yeah, saving that chainsaw mark in your vase is top shelf. I'm so dizzy, Phil Anderson's lathe is spinning. 🤣. I'd give you five thumbs up if I could.
Eviction notice served... Tenants removed... Tenement log repurposed... Face-lift complete... I'd call that a successful days work ... and an awesome end result. Thanks Phil for another entertaining video 🤩
Good morning Phil. Once again I have cold tea this morning. I totally forgot about it as I was engrossed in this video. This is one beautiful vase. The bug holes, chainsaw mark and bark all add so much individually but put them all together and you get this amazing piece. Isn't nature wonderful!!!. Perhaps you should do more vases Phil. Thanks for making my early morning more pleasurable and I'm off now to make a fresh cup of hot tea. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
You make your mornings sound so comfortable and cozy, Huw. I have coffee in the morning but mostly outside, standing up, watching the birds and other critters come and go. I enjoy it but your way just sounds more relaxing. Anyway, thanks for watching, my friend! 😊
I have absolutely no possibility of ever having a wood lathe. So I watch your channel just for the fun of it, and just love every minute. Unlike some other channels, you have a way of seeing the art in a piece of wood, You just happen to be a master of bringing the best out of a piece of wood that otherwise would end up in the fire place, no joke and no flattery here either. You held the vase to show the chain saw mark, and I saw two eyes and the beak of an owl hiding there, Oak has two features; the grain and all those little crack like streaks running with the length. This gives oak a distinct character. Another master piece, Phil. Stay safe and get well. ;-)
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Howdy! I spend a lot of time as a child in my Granddads wood shop, he had two lathes one of which he built himself. I love your channel its become a comfort thing, I am happy just listening to you running your lathe and spinning these amazing things. This vase is beautiful.
Beautiful. Just Absolutely Beautiful! You say " I just wish you could feel how smooth this is"... I have worked with Oak ( making cabinets ) and know just what it feels like with the difference in the light and darker grains causing " steps " between. I can also see them here. Another piece of art to be very proud of Sir. It's very tactile. One of the things I always enjoyed about my aunt's many acrylic paintings. Once dry I could run my little fingers over the cactus and boulders and critters she often included in her art. Re: the forester bit snafu; I am currently in after care treatment of stage 4 neck cancer and have been at home on disability for almost two years now with just a short break of 4 months back to work. ( it's in full remission now, just the after treatment ) It was bad enough that my Oncologist had me on a triple cocktail of chemo treatment. Then a full round of radiation. Somewhere in all of this treatment I overheard a couple of the nurses talking about what they called " chemo-brain". I asked them what they meant and they told me that the chemo can really affect how you think. Boy have I learned that to be true having three times as much as usual. Sometimes I miss such simple things like stepping up the drill size in making large deep holes like that or what should be done 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. and just felt so ignorant until I remember, " chemo-brain". Things I learned a lifetime ago are just gone now. I really have to concentrate and even write out steps so I hope I don't miss anything and screw up some valuable piece of wood or lose time in work. I'm sorry if this is TMI but thought I'd make the correlation . Looking at what you just did I would say that you ARE a great spindle turner in your own manor. Keep up the great work and stay well. Regards, Bill Riley
Well, you sure have been through the works! I'm so glad you are in remission. Good to know about the chemo brain, now I have an excuse about not being able to figure out righty tighty, lefty loosey! I really have to concentrate on that part, too! 😊
White oak hasn't got the best of exciting grain patterns so the bugs and ham-fisted chain sawyer have lifted this piece from commonplace to the extraordinary - with the application of the usual Shady Acres artistry. Thank you, Phil,.
Phil I think it looks awesome you sure had a job on your hands hollowing this one out but you showed it who the boss was. You sure make wood look beautiful. I love it when the wood fight’s back and you kick its ass. Till next time take care 👍👍👍😊😊😊♥️
Hi 👋, Phil from Phil, A grubby looking piece, 😂 Sorry I mean a great looking piece with grubs in it, You probably fine that the grub’s will probably get upset do does centrifugal force of them being spun round on your lathe, Another great looking piece of art, And I do like the texture of the wood and the chainsaw massacre part of it as well and the bug holes do look like they have been carved out, Great work Phil. Look forward to next tutorial next week, Phil from the moulin France.
Without a whole lot of shakin goin on. Mask and face shield on. You turn a really pretty piece. It was the icing on the cake for the evening after my TNT Thursday night turn. I really hope you are doing well Phil. I will look for you again next week. Thanks for the great demo 😀 👍
I watch many wood turners on TH-cam and Phil is my favourite because his experience and honesty about his journey in woodturning is the best education a newbie can get. Everything explained even the mistakes. I’ve learnt so much from a genuine guy. Thanks Phil, your a star.
Love the vase. Glad you were able to keep some bark on including the chainsaw “woopsie”. Dennis picked an excellent specimen for all to enjoy. God bless.
That was a wonderful surprise! You got a thumbs up from my wife and me. Absolutely right on with the saw cut. I wasn’t sure you had made the right decision making that end up, but of course…….! Beautiful. Cheers, Rick
I really like this vase - bug holes (sans bugs) and the chainsaw “whoopsie”. I’m happy you were able to save some bark. I hope your wearing hearing protection when you are boring out the vase. Great video as usual. God bless.
...what a sweet looking vase...I love the character in the wood and the chainsaw groove...and, of course, the bark! I guess it just goes to show, if you want something to work or turn out correctly, you have to work the bugs out of it...👍
Before you even started I was saying to myself save that chainsaw whoops. It's been a while since I have turned a hollow spindle turning myself. I'm still not quite comfortable with it but have made some beautiful things. Happy turning my friend and thanks for the tips as always 😊
With the chainsaw oops makes it look like a face in that area. Love the grain and the bug holes don't bother me. We have some in our logs inside the house. Gives it character. Another beauty my friend. 💗
Hi 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋 Phil hay the vase turned out better than I thought it would good job. I had a Ceder tree that was Attacked by wood bores just like you I turned a Bowl 🥣 with the wood 🪵 and it turned out ok also. I just wanted to share with you.
🙋♂️🏴 Hi Phil a break from your usual work but still great to watch. I liked the finished piece the grain, bark and the bug holes look great together, but I must be honest I'm not so keen on the chain saw marks. See you next time.
Looks pretty sweet Phil! I don't microwave, I just fill a hypodermic needle with acetone and put it in the holes to kill bugs. Evaporates quickly and no stains.
So many pieces are cut like this to begin with, it's worth the effort to give it a try. Just remember, when hollowing, start in the center and work your way out, contrary to not end grain. 😊
I'm so glad you hadn't turned away the chainsaw mark. I thought it gave even more character to the vase. That worm was icky. For some reason the 2nd one wasn't as icky. Another fantastic job, Phil.
I really love this vase. As you have said in the past all of the bug holes are part of the history of the log. The chainsaw whoopsie looks great. My first or second turning had one in it and I left it in. It made the piece. Thanks for all of the help that you’ve given us beginning turners.
Phil, that is an awsome piece, again I love that you let the wood show itself, that sando flex is awsome gonna have to get me one. I have only been turning for a couple of years and you have been my inspiration with the beauty of live edge turning, I love it. I to am not a designer and rather let the wood speak for itself. Something you taught me. Thanks again. Look forward to the next installment. Signing off.........
I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of a singer/songwriter named Brandi Carlile, but she has a song called The Story, that I love, and the first verse, starts, “All of these lines upon my face, they tell you the story of who I am”, that’s what you do with your pieces. You let line cut marks, and the bark, and the wrinkles, tell the story.
Love your videos and your commentary. Sometimes you crack me up with your humor! Thanks!

Beautiful work. Worm holes give it a special touch. The chainsaw booboo looks like the start of carving for an owl’s face.
Thank you very much, Janie! 😊

I appreciate your honesty and authenticity. I had never seen the dowel with sand paper on a drill before and it's genius, thank you for the tip.
It's surprising how well it works! Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated! 😃
Love all the lil dinks and holes just makes it look more natural and rustic.
Thankyou for sharing 😁
You are so welcome, Laura, thanks for watching and commenting! 😊
Got my two Sandoflexes and my denim shirt and now I’m ready to turn some masterpieces. Thank you for the inspiration, Phil.
That's all it takes, Hubert, you are ready! 😊
Phew! I was hoping that was all I needed. I’ll let you know how I make out. You are the best, Phil.
It's a lovely vase. I like the way you kept the bark. It brings life into the piece.
Thank you, Judith! 😊

The worm holes, bark and chain saw marks really give this vase very unique details and can not be duplicated ever. Great job.
Thank you very much! 😊
Eviction notice served...
Tenants removed...
Tenement log repurposed...
Face-lift complete...
I'd call that a successful days work ... and an awesome end result.
Thanks Phil for another entertaining video 🤩
Haha, a formula woodturning, I like it, Denise! 😊
I love the character the bug holes add to a projects. I done many pieces with bug holes. My customer that buys these love them too. Great job!
😊
Bravo! Such a beautiful vase. Rip bugs.
Haha, poor bugs! 😊
Love the bug holes, really great. Again you've got a great imagination, like it.
Thank you, Chris! 😊
Phil, Nice live edge vase. Every project you do is beautiful.
Glad you like it, Kevin, thank you for watching! 😊
Another beautiful piece of art Phil
😊
Another amazing piece for the books! Love how the chainsaw mark came out!
Thanks a bunch! 😊
Good morning Phil.
Once again I have cold tea this morning. I totally forgot about it as I was engrossed in this video.
This is one beautiful vase. The bug holes, chainsaw mark and bark all add so much individually but put them all together and you get this amazing piece.

I see the owl clearly, Robert, thanks for pointing him out! 😊
Nice. You’re better at spindle turning than you’re leading us to believe. 🤪 Looks very professional. ❤👍👍👍
Well, it's not that I can't do it, it's that it's not much fun, Steve!😊

Definitely a 'one off' unique piece of art Phil. Brilliant. I would not have considered leaving the chainsaw cut.
Thank you, Kevin! 😊
Awesome 😎 🪵 vase !!

Glad you like it, Manjit, thanks!! 😊
I love the way you made that soft edge at the neck Also love the saw scar...the whole thing is lovely..
I'm glad, Lucy, thank you! 😊
Always enjoy watching your videos, I love turning and as soon as I get some time I'm going to make some sawdust
Thanks, Karl! 😊
I really like this vase - bug holes (sans bugs) and the chainsaw “whoopsie”. I’m happy you were able to save some bark. I hope your wearing hearing protection when you are boring out the vase. Great video as usual. God bless.
Thank you, Michele! A little late for hearing protection, I'm afraid. 60's rock music took it's toll! 😊
...what a sweet looking vase...I love the character in the wood and the chainsaw groove...and, of course, the bark!
I guess it just goes to show, if you want something to work or turn out correctly, you have to work the bugs out of it...👍
LOL!
I really like that you explain what you are doing and why.
I'm so glad, thank you, Jane! 😊
Beautiful vase Phil the chainsaw mark is the best feature it looks great!

The chainsaw oops and the fact there is plenty of bark left on it…. Looks very beautiful!

Thanks, Sid! 😊
Looks pretty sweet Phil! I don't microwave, I just fill a hypodermic needle with acetone and put it in the holes to kill bugs. Evaporates quickly and no stains.

Still not convinced I will be turning end grain vases anytime soo but this moved me in that direction. Thanks!

Great job again Phil. I'm glad you left that part of the chain saw mark. It's a part of the woods history as you say.
😊
It's a great shape. Good jib.
😊
I'm so glad you hadn't turned away the chainsaw mark. I thought it gave even more character to the vase.
That worm was icky. For some reason the 2nd one wasn't as icky.
Another fantastic job, Phil.
I agree about the chainsaw mark and the icky worm, Katheleen! LOL! 😃
As always Phil you made another Gorgeous Piece. Love the bug damage.
Thanks for sharing 👍.
😊
I like it as well Phil. There is a lot of character to this piece. Very nice.
😊
Beautiful vase! The chainsaw cut almost looks like 3 feathers! Definitely a feature, not a mistake.
😊
I really love this vase. As you have said in the past all of the bug holes are part of the history of the log. The chainsaw whoopsie looks great. My first or second turning had one in it and I left it in. It made the piece. Thanks for all of the help that you’ve given us beginning turners.
Cool, thank you, Thomas! 😊
I like your slotted dowel with sand paper , I have to make some for sanding the small boxes and dice cups that I make
😊
That is an awesome piece. Great work Phil. That bug was nice and dizzy when you found it.
LOL! 😊
The chainsaw mark is indeed a lovely feature, as are the bug holes. It's the living history the oak tree, which is unique and beautiful
😃
Love the final result….another great job….the whoopsie and bug holes add such character…love it!
😊
Another great piece! :)
Thank you! Cheers! 😊
Once again a beautiful piece that I couldn’t see coming.
😊
It came out Gorgeous. Of course I always like bark left on when it can be.
I was quite surprised at how much remained, Sherry! 😊
Hi Phil, beautyful grain in the piece of wood .When you said white oak I was pleasently surprised to see the lighter colouring of the vase
😊
I love it even the bug holes minus the bug themselves.
Exactly, Jennie! 😊

Sure, I've heard Brandi, Leona. I'm so glad you equate my style to her story! 😊
From disaster piece to masterpiece….you done it again Phil
😊
I love the bug holes!!! Oak can be so pretty, most people overlook it. I like the chain saw mark. It adds.to the piece. Have a great weekend PHIL.
Thanks, you too, Jane! 😊
I love that you leave the big marks and bark. Most people will make it 'perfect' but I like to see the true nature of the wood. Trees aren't perfect!!
Agreed, Vicki, thank you! 😊
SUPER DUPER!! worm holes and all!!
😊
This is entertaining as well as instructive! I had to laugh at "hope he's left the building"😂
I should have named him Elvis! 😊
I saw its real beauty only when flowers were in it. That is amazing.
The flowers do help to put it into perspective, Andrew. 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Yes, you are right.
