- I'm always trying to turn a pleasing vase shape. It's a struggle for me because I'm more of a bowl turner but I keep trying. I think this one is what I have been looking for. I like it quite a lot! White Oak finished in shellac.

So true! 😀
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! 😊
Love your videos and your commentary. Sometimes you crack me up with your humor! Thanks!
😊
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!😊
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.
SPECTACULAR!! VERY ELEGANT!!❤❤

Thank you! 😊
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
😃
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.
Haha, I appreciate that, Bill, thanks! 😊
The chainsaw oops and the fact there is plenty of bark left on it…. Looks very beautiful!
😊
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! 😃
I znowu mi się sprawdza że doskonałość wypływa z niedoskonałości. 🌹🌹🌹👌
Natura to natura! Dziękuję, Hanno! 😊
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.
Sure, I've heard Brandi, Leona. I'm so glad you equate my style to her story! 😊
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! 😃
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
Haha, I was thinking you still thought it was poem week, Gary! 😊 How's that song coming along? I expect to hear it in your next video!
Ok maybe next 😂😆😎
Natural, bug holes and all. Wonderful Phil
😊
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! 😊
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
Thanks a lot, Kevin! 😊
Definitely a 'one off' unique piece of art Phil. Brilliant. I would not have considered leaving the chainsaw cut.
Thank you, Kevin! 😊
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.
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
A lot of work but fun for a change,Tuffy. Glad you liked the flowers! LOL!
Another amazing piece for the books! Love how the chainsaw mark came out!
Thanks a bunch! 😊
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! 😊
...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 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! 😊
Nice! Glad you kept the chainsaw mark. Lots of character.
I think so too, thank you! 😊
It's a lovely vase. I like the way you kept the bark. It brings life into the piece.
Thank you, Judith! 😊
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!
😊
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! 😊
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 👍👍👍😊😊😊♥️
Thank you so much, Kelvin! 😊
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! 😊
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. ;-)
I see the owl clearly, Robert, thanks for pointing him out! 😊
Beautiful vase! The chainsaw cut almost looks like 3 feathers! Definitely a feature, not a mistake.
😊
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. 💗
Thank you so much, Marge! 😊
The bug hole are great the hole vase is as usual great. Thanks for sharing 👍
😊
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
Thanks to you and your wife, Rick! 😊
I just HAD to order a Sandoflex! Should’ve ordered 2!
Phil is da man!👏👏👌👍👌👌
Killer, Phil! Bravo Phil!
I'm sure you'll love it Roy! 😊
Phil stunning fantastic vase. Original unique design ⚡️ only you have the vision of perfection ⭐️👀👀👀👀👀👀
😊
Bravo! Such a beautiful vase. Rip bugs.
Haha, poor bugs! 😊
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 😀 👍
Thank you, Albert! 😊
Love the bug holes, really great. Again you've got a great imagination, like it.
Thank you, Chris! 😊
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! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop That sounds quite an idyllic way to have a morning coffee Phil.
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.
He did! Thanks, Michele! 😊
So glad the chainsaw cut gets to stay. One of my favorite youtube makers says "All Defects Deserve Respect"
😊
Still not convinced I will be turning end grain vases anytime soo but this moved me in that direction. Thanks!
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. 😊
Perfect - I love oak
Bugs and all
Haha, noted, Maurine! More bugs for you! 😊
The crack is part of the character! Brilliant! 👏👏👏💕👏👏👏🇬🇧
😃
Love the chainsaw mark and grub holes. Nice vase
😊
O boy a vase I'm so Excited to see how it comes out
😊
I love it even the bug holes minus the bug themselves.
Exactly, Jennie! 😊
Phil, Nice live edge vase. Every project you do is beautiful.
Glad you like it, Kevin, thank you for watching! 😊
Gnarled Phil.
😊
That looks great and the chain saw cut is perfect!,,,,
Thanks, Jack! 😃
I agree, oak's grain is truly fascinating Phil, this vase is one of my favorites from you. I dig your ability to find the beauty within a POS log and turn it into an art piece. I call it "making chicken salad out of chicken sh!+", haha.
LOL! Love that, Steve! 😊
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 😊
Thanks for watching and commenting, Edward! 😊
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 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! 😊
Another beautiful piece of art Phil
😊
Beautiful vase Phil the chainsaw mark is the best feature it looks great!
😊
I love it along with all of natures art work in it👍🏻❤
Glad you enjoy it! 😊
SUPER DUPER!! worm holes and all!!
😊
One of the most beautiful pieces, Phil. Love the live edge rim at the top!
Thanks, Morgan! 😃
A comment on microwaving: Making a piece of wood hot, and exposed to the air, will always dry and shrink and crack the exposed surface. You can get it hot enough to kill bugs, without much risk of surface cracking by heating in a plastic bag. A Walmart grocery type bag can stand steam, without melting. Then you let it cool, in the bag (and wet on the outside) but with more even moisture throughout. Then you take it out of the bag and let the outside dry off, at room temperature . Try it with some piece of scrap that you cut in half and put only half in the bag, heating both, at the same time, to see the difference the plastic bag makes.
I have been able to successfully microwave rough cut bowl for years. Thirty seconds on, twenty minutes to half an hour cooling. Repeat until weight stops changing. It may take all day but it works. Microwave power cannot be too high!
@@kenvasko2285 rough-cut bowl is just about the perfect shape to dry with the microwave. Its fairly uniform, thin wall and curve allows shrinkage to just warp the shape, instead of pulling itself apart. The problem occurs with thick cross sections that have a shrinking surface stretched over a non-shrinking core.
I guess I always thought the plastic would melt. I do use zip lock bags in the microwave but I thought they were a different kind of plastic. This is interesting, thanks! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Zip lock bags are polyethylene and melt right around the boiling point of water, (similar to hot-melt glue sticks) though they do not absorb microwave energy. It passes right through. But the grocery bags are a slightly higher melting point plastic than zip locks. You don't need to seal them tightly (they will just blow up with steam. Just lightly twist them closed, and sit the wood on the twist.
@@kenvasko2285 good to know
Phil, I'm going to wear you down one of these days. I love this vase 👍
😊
Another Beautiful work of art
Appreciate it, Audie, thanks! 😊
I really like that you explain what you are doing and why.
I'm so glad, thank you, Jane! 😊
Very nice looking vase. I didn't see it at first when you were talking about saving the chain saw scar, but I should have learned by this time to trust your vision. Now I know the government is trying to substitute insects for normal protein sources in all their meals programs, but make sure that anything that crawled out of that vase gets disposed of, no matter how good they smelled in that microwave. Take care, Phil and keep turning.
LOL!
This bug is still active but I'm getting around it. Nice job, Phil!
😊
Wow, this was a departure, and it is beautiful! With the vase upright, the saw mark looks like the side of a nose, with bug hole eyes and a wavy grain mouth. An Indigenous mask perhaps?? Gorgeous!!! 👏👏👏👏👏❤💖
Love your imagination, Vicki! 😊
Beautiful vase, Phil. Enjoyed this video very much except for the digging out of the bugs. It was actually making Gayle squirm a little bit. 😂😂
Another great video, my friend. thanks for sharing!
Happy turning,
…..Gord
Made me squirm a little to, Gord! I'm confident I got all of them, at least with the microwave, but what if I didn't? LOL! Thanks for your support, Gord, much appreciated! 😊
From disaster piece to masterpiece….you done it again Phil
😊
Really gorgeous ❣️❗❤️ Love it ❗❣️❤️
Yay! Thank you! 😊
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.
😊
Absolutely beautiful work.
Thank you very much, Bobby! 😊
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.
😊
That came out really well Phil
Thanks, Sid! 😊
I love watching what you do!!
And I love having you here to watch, Kathy, thank you! 😊
Great job. Looks fine.
Thank you! Cheers, Earl! 😊
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
😊
That is an awesome piece. Great work Phil. That bug was nice and dizzy when you found it.
LOL! 😊
Lucky you got to it before the bugs had eaten any more. It turned out Fantastic
😊
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.
Great memories, Tessa, thanks for sharing! 😊
you say you don't do spindle turning well but I think you do all the turning well... that's a beautiful vase
I'm glad you like it, Celia, thank you! 😊
I think the chainsaw mark turned to be a really nice feature. It just adds to the character of the piece.
😊
It's a great shape. Good jib.
😊
This is entertaining as well as instructive! I had to laugh at "hope he's left the building"😂
I should have named him Elvis! 😊
HI Phil that's a really beautiful piece and funky. weldone.
Glad you like it, Manjit, thanks!! 😊
Nicely done Phil 👍🙂
Thanks, William! 😃
I like the bug holes, adds character. Nicely done
😊
As always Phil you made another Gorgeous Piece. Love the bug damage.
Thanks for sharing 👍.
😊
Stupid TH-cam algorithms...... I've watched many, many of your videos in the past but then TH-cam doesn't notify me about your newest. Until they do, but then there's months of backlog to catch up on. Which is kinda alright 👍....... A shady Acres Binge Watch. I love the Buggy 🐛 Oak. Lots of fun features. Well done Phil!
Thank you, Brock! 😊 There is a Bell icon next to the Subscribe button. If you click that, you should be notified. In any event, thanks for looking for me and commenting, much appreciated!
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! 😊
Welcome back for another week, even if it is only a vase. But I'm confident you'll back to proper bowls again next Thursday, so I'm OK with it.
😊
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! 😊
Awesome 😎 🪵 vase !!
😊
Really nice. I like the bark on there.
Cool, me too, Gerald! 😊
I like it as well Phil. There is a lot of character to this piece. Very nice.
😊
I'm guessing that all the bugs are already dizzy after a turn in the lathe, so give them a splash of vodka, after that they've had enough, 😋, and they'll do as snacks. 😉.
I hope no one took it seriously.
A 👍 as usual.
❤ Carsten
😊
Very nice ❤️ That would have made a pretty little lamp base,,,too!
😃
Once again a beautiful piece that I couldn’t see coming.
😊
I watch others turn a vase with the same profile that you have turned. They always take the bark off which is fine….but wow I do love the bark you left on this vase. The bark and the chain saw mark make this piece. I thought right from the beginning leave the chain saw mark Phil it’s all part of the wood. Beautiful vase.
Thanks for the show!
Joel
Cool, thanks, J D! 😊
