This Saturday I'm going to look at a lathe a friend has. He said I could use it. I haven't turned anything in almost 50 years, but have been watching your videos and am inspired to try again. Thank you. Your teaching/demonstrations are wonderful. I taught 42 years myself, so I know good teaching when I see and hear it. Amy Gillett
I was the same way. Before I picked up the hobby, I watched just about every video that Phil had posted. But a good friend that turns kept bugging me and I just happen to run across a good deal on a lathe. After the first piece the addiction was there. Couldn't wait to to finish so I could start another. Lol. I'm at the point now, where I will start another one while one is still in the chuck drying. That's how bad I can't wait to start another one. Love seeing those ribbons flying.
Totally stunning piece, Phil, this particular piece of wood had your name on it, long before you ever signed it, thanks to Tuffy Marginez. It is surely one of your best pieces yet, worth waiting in storage and contemplation for 3 years to find its final glory, in your hands, of being a beautiful piece of art sculpture. I love it! Thank you so much, Phil, for sharing your beautiful gift in uniquely communicating with the nature of wood, for us all to enjoy. Take good care and have a great week.💛🫂☺️
No doubt about it Phil I love that bowl. There is so much life left in it even after turning what you did. And that just added to it by showing all that beautiful grain. The hot glue held up great and for sure it has a place in my turning. As always great vision in seeing what is hidden in the piece. I just finished one I have to call The I Don't Know Bowl. I sure was not sure what I was going to get. But it does have some very nice bark and lots of holes. Great work my friend, Gary
I think it's amazing that you two are friends. Why? Because your 2 channels are the first I watch out of the 15 or so I follow. No, really! Do you live near each other? If so, you should do a video together! Especially if one of you have 2 lathes. That would be awesome! I can only imagine the banter! Sounds like fun (to me!).
@@maxhunt2644 Gary did visit me here at Shady Acres a few years ago and appears in the video I was shooting that day. That's as close as we have come to doing a video together but, yeah, it would be fun! 😊
Thank You Phil...What FUN! Phil I remember now. That was the secondary side piece from the very first piece I ever sent you over 3 years ago, WOW!. Secondary because of the hole. Gee, I do not remember doing that center circle thing, that balancing ring at all. Modesto Ash is correct. I identified the wood with my local nursery lady. That stump was along the road for a looong time until I came along. You did it justice and made a wonderful piece from wood that probably would have been passed over by other turners. GREAT WORK PHIL, until next time....TM
Yup, this brought back great memories, Tuffy! And what a great piece of wood! I don't know why I couldn't see anything in it until the day I turned it and boy, I tried! I love it, thank you my friend! 😊
Tuffy, thank you for sending Phil that piece, it has made spectacular art work. Whilst Phil is undoubtedly the master and visionary without your assistance he wouldn’t have been able to show us this awesome piece.🙏🏻
Thank you again, Tuffy for your choice of challenging woods to send Phil. Some pieces really take time to study and find a vision of where to start. This was definitely one of those for Phil. And look at how happy it made him! Well done!
@@valeriehenschel1590 Hi Valerie- Well Valerie YOU are the reason "we" all started sending wood to Phil. You were the 1st way back when? I love the adventure of finding "Phil Wood", cutting it up & sending it off (kind of like a message in a bottle floating up to Phil). I never know if or what is going to happen. So much FUN for me and Phil seems to have LOTS of fun turning so as Phil says "It's all good". Thank you Valerie!!...TM
@tuffy Martinez Don’t blame me! 😁🤪 When Phil referred to a round of plain walnut as “his good wood” I suspected he was short of pieces to choose from. Given I had just gotten those nine sycamore/London plane trees, his need was greater than mine. Was not trying to start something, but glad it multiplied! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's beautiful. I might even call it sensuous............like a Georgia O'Keefe painting. You really brought out the character of the wood. Home run Phil, home run.
Another gorgeous piece Phil. Beautiful the way nature can be. I have the exact type of dust collector. I like it better than the other one. It's so much quieter. 👍
I’m glad to see you turning again! I don’t have a lathe, have never used a lathe, and don’t know anything about woodworking, but I love your videos! I appreciate you so much! I think it’s your humour and your humble manner that keep me coming back!
Another brilliant piece Phil. I wondered how you were going to turn that. Love your dust collection system. You should patent it 😁. Thanks for sharing the video. 👍👍
Really nice job Phil. That is a gorgeous chunk of wood, that I would have had NO clue what to make of. Its SO different than what I usually see in videos, and I LIKE IT! Way to go!
Another awesome piece there Phil. Love watching your videos to see what you will bring alive and to hear what you have to say. I watch and listen to the whole video , with you stopping and talking makes it more interesting. Some videos on TH-cam I start watching to see what the piece of wood looks like and then fast forward to the end to see what it turned out like. With them not talking or explaining what they are doing it’s not as interesting as your videos. Thanks again Phil for teaching me many tips and trips in wood turning, also teaching me to look at pieces of wood that I wouldn’t look at for turning but makes such beautiful pieces. From your student Todd in Newfoundland keep doing what you love for us to enjoy and learn. 👍
At 69 I have loved wood all my life in any form even fire wood draws me trees blow my mind but I’m not artistic I don’t seem to have that vision but watching you Phil is teaching me to see what lies below a piece of wood what you can release from it maybe it’s been trapped waiting for someone to release it like you I hope I can aspire to that challenge I’ll keep watching 👍
I was 69 when I bought my lathe and decided to get serious about woodturning, Jeff. I learned it from watching TH-cam videos! You already have the love of wood, get to it! 😃
I bought mine in 2008 I was a professional diver at the time working all over the world so turning was spasmodic, I learnt at school to turn but you never stop learning I retired 2 years ago and started running out of DIY jobs so hear I am enjoying every minute
Hi Phil, That is Stunning and I don' think I have been quite this specific before, You are the Master of the unusual shaped bowl. I will watch this again tomorrow morning with my morning cup of tea, but can't see me being any more impressed with how beautiful this has come out. Exceptional work Phil. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Very nice. I find it interesting that some folks complain that glue blocks don’t hold. Here you’ve proved that they do. Even when you can’t get a complete circle of glue around it there is plenty of holding power. Well done, again, Phil. Beautiful work.
Excellent results in filling that void, Phil. A lovely, interesting, impressive piece. I want to say imposing, but not in a bad way. The bark did come alive with finish. I'm still not ready to trust hot glue. Not because it doesn't work well when done right. But because I don't think I'd be fast enough to get the pieces together while it's still hot enough. Regarding temperature and hot glue, I learned a lesson. One of my first projects was a shifter knob for my vehicle, the nut inside secured with hot glue. The thing was great, until it spent a night outside at -30. The nut came loose and I had a ridiculous time getting it unthreaded, so I could put the original back on. From that lesson, I've learned that a few minutes in the freezer, or outside in winter, can let that hot glue peel right off. An alternative if getting isopropyl on your bowl isn't the best option. Great video, Phil.
I'm watching this in January 2024 & it is still a wonderful piece. I can't believe how beautiful it is after you get through with it. I would have put it on a brush fire...before I saw what could be.
Ah Phil, it’s beautiful! As ever you relaxed me whilst watching your art take shape. This video arrived here in Scotland in time for a night time/bedtime relaxation program - thank you for that! As ever, your style of video also has the wonderful ability to make me chuckle too! I was most especially awed by your mechanical dust retrieval system - truly inspiring and a rare thing to see. Keep them coming my friend. 🪵🤩😁🏴
Phil, Another great piece in the books. Thanks for sharing. I would never believed that the hot glue would have held up that well until I saw it with my own eyes. Take care my friend!
I love it! It's gorgeous! From the very beginning, on the long flat side, I saw the hind leg and belly of a dog, no front end though. I can imagine you talking to your kids when they were young about how to use the magical dirt and debris collection device. It's something my dad might have done. Your special shavings grinder and hole filling technique ought to be called "The Philling Method". 😄 I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thank you, Phil! 🌳
You are right Phil. it is absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful any way you look at it. I would gladly display this awesome piece in my home. Phil you are such a brilliant and talented artist. 💕😊❤🤗💕
This was a bit nerve wracking when you first started turning, thought for sure the wood was going to fly off and hurt someone. I'm glad it didn't because I got to watch you turn a beautiful piece! And what do you know, I have the same dust collection system for my kitchen floor!
OK Phil - I vote YES! Beautiful. I like the multiple ways it can be displayed because the viewer can see inside where there is so much beauty. Now, about that dust collection system. Oh Phil, up here in Maine we call that "dry humah". I was laughing out loud for that whole bit. AND, some of your teaching has stuck! No, I haven't made my first successful "Phil-Style" bowl but I'm practicing. On this piece I am so pleased to say I was able to see the bowl in the raw piece of wood. For me, that's major progress. So, don't give up turning for a new career as a stand up comic but keep sliding those bits in. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
WOW it's a beautiful piece of art!!! Thanks to your skill with the lathe the natural beauty of the wood is preserved. I enjoy watching you turn impossible "junk" wood into art. Take care of yourself. 🙏♥️🙂
Yes Sir it is a gorgeous piece! I'm so glad you filled the other hole. I love the contrasting look of the wood shavings and the wood around it after it was finished. Thanks for another great video!
Absolutely gorgeous, not a centimeter that’s uninteresting, so full of nature! I would give anything to be able to create… uhm help nature reveal its beauty, like you do, Phil. Perfect piece.🌈🤩👍
I have never been a fan of " natural bowls". Until now! This is so much more beautiful than my "resin infused perfectly polished salad bowls". Can't wait to try one. Thanks.
Phil wot can I say this piece is stunning I love it it got so much character you could spend hours looking at its beauty thank you for another amazing turning 👍👍👍😊😊😊♥️
When showing it with the bark at the front it's like crocodile skin. Great job once again Phil. I'm working my way through your work and I'm really enjoying your skill and commentary. 😁👍
Fancy schmancy glue gun... High tech dust collection system... Great tip on the coffee grinder... And a Gorgeous bowl. You definitely hit this one out of the park.
I grew up in Modesto California. Those are amazing trees. The wood is beautiful, the tree grows quite large, and provides a ton of shade during the spring and Summer. Leaving the shape of that log was the right choice. Filling in that hole is also the right choice. That is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever seen you turn. Nice hard wood isn't it? I've never varnished Modesto Ash. I'm amazed at how much grain there really is. Good job, and thank you.
Hi there Phil I totally agree with you. It is fantastic and there is nothing not to like anywhere and like you said it’s a four-way bowl. I even like the repair you did with the glue and the wood flower as I call it because it’s literally like flour. You can’t even see that repair. It just looks like part of the wood. well you did it again knocked out of the park.❤️🙂
I forgot to mention that I visited the community on your home page and saw all the NE bowls you showed. I must humbly say that until I got a good look at your natural edge work, I was not convinced it was for me. That all changed after watching a couple videos and viewing your NE work. I am now eager to try turning a couple NE bowls from the wood I have in my shop. Thanks for enlightening me Phil. Doug Olsen
I will admit, that's a great looking picture, Doug. It inspires me, too! I will tell you, once you get a few of these under your belt, going back to plain, perfect, round bowls is difficult and not nearly as interesting. Have fun with them! 😊
I find your courage inspiring! When ever I get that close to so much thin ca glue I usually end up with a rubber glove stuck to beard or fore head. Ive learned that is much better than my hand being glued. I believe they call that a proxy. One day the glove will be stuck to the top of my head. I believe they call that a funky chicken.
Beautiful piece. You did it justice. I'm a long way from that type of turning, but thanks to you and Kent, I'm making progress. Thanks for your dedication.
It's beautiful, I love the wood. Nature! beauty, God. Thanks, Phil. If you glance at Sprague Woodturning, you will see a small electric fry pan with a pool of melted hot glue, and he dips his glue waste blocks in that and slaps the block on the back of the piece. To part it he uses one of the tools and parts it off on the lathe. Just some ideas. Love to spend time with you, Phil. Thanks for the beauty.
Lovely piece Phil. I like the vertical view best. In the vertical position the bowl portion would make an ideal niche for an old black and white photograph of loved ones. Another ace in the hole Phil. Thanks!
To be honest, I didn't think it wouldn't go well this time but there I got it. But one thing is certain, your work will always be wonderful. I have never seen anything boring made by you. I wish I could give you more , 👍, it's just to say thank you for the show. ❤ Carsten
Yep, out of the park again. Wasn't sure about the filler at first but turned out proper lovely. Been searching for a clean up system for a while and I think you have nailed for me, thanks Phil. Stay safe.
You're 2-part dust collection is the same as mine lol Beautiful work sir!!! I'm so glad you share your creations and comical side with us. Thank you kind sir
I have to say this was a very enjoyable and indulgent video. I enjoyed seeing it from every angle. It was as close as possible to turning it over in my hands. Thanks for that.
Phil you filled the hole using your coffee grinder. You used hot glue. You used your skill to turn the unique bowl. As ever you’re number 1. 🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴
Phil Anderson there is not enough words to say how much your work has inspired me over the last few years but this video is the icing on the cake of how to take a piece of firewood and turn it into art form you are a very great mentor and I thank you for it
Greetings from Humboldt County Ca.
You should be the President of the funnel club, most of us end up with a hole, you’ll start with one.👍🏻👍🏻
LOL!
Yep, that's a piece of art.
"It's going to be a three way. A three way bowl. Don't get excited." Class!
LOL! 😊
This Saturday I'm going to look at a lathe a friend has. He said I could use it. I haven't turned anything in almost 50 years, but have been watching your videos and am inspired to try again.

Thanks, Phil! 😊 Well, except not this piece!
No doubt about it Phil I love that bowl. There is so much life left in it even after turning what you did. And that just added to it by showing all that beautiful grain.

Great title for the video, Gary. "The I don't know bowl". I would click on that for sure! Looking forward to clicking on it tomorrow, buddy! 😊
Not tomorrow or maybe not next week. Even though its done.
I finally got a little ahead. Feels great!

I absolutely agree with your take that the "nature" on this 4 way bowl is beautiful. Every view is a winner.
Thank you, Donald! 😃
Your work on odd pieces never cease to amaze me! I’ve said this before but Phil you are one extremely talented man!! Absolutely gorgeous
😊
It's beautiful. I might even call it sensuous............like a Georgia O'Keefe painting. You really brought out the character of the wood. Home run Phil, home run.
Thanks, John! 😊
Your ability amazes me. I couldn't imagine how you were going to turn that piece of wood into anything special. It looks wonderful.
Thank you, Hank! 😊
I can see why you love it, Phil. It's very very beautiful indeed. Thank you to Tuffy for sending and you for sharing and see you very soon.
😊
Another gorgeous piece Phil. Beautiful the way nature can be.
I have the exact type of dust collector. I like it better than the other one. It's so much quieter. 👍
Yes, Carl, it barely even whispers... Just kind of a whisk sound...
You are right, it is absolutely GORGEOUS!! So many ways to display that piece. Wow! Wow! Wow!
Thank you so much, Mabel! 😊

I adore this turning. I love the grain, the bark and its beauty from all sides...😃
Thank you very much! 😊
Another brilliant piece Phil. I wondered how you were going to turn that. Love your dust collection system. You should patent it 😁. Thanks for sharing the video. 👍👍
Haha, thanks, Steve! 😊
Nothing better then a nice piece of Ash ... I said Ash . Great job Phil .
I heard ya, Steve! LOL!
Really nice job Phil. That is a gorgeous chunk of wood, that I would have had NO clue what to make of. Its SO different than what I usually see in videos, and I LIKE IT! Way to go!
I'm glad you like it, Dave, thank you! 😊
And the winner is Phil with his Modesto Ash bowl. You have outdone yourself, Phil.

Until now!
This is so much more beautiful than my "resin infused perfectly polished salad bowls".
Can't wait to try one.
Thanks.
This makes me so happy, Clifford! 😊 Once you have turned a few of these natural pieces, it's really hard to go back to just plain round.
Phil wot can I say this piece is stunning I love it it got so much character you could spend hours looking at its beauty thank you for another amazing turning 👍👍👍😊😊😊♥️

I've never varnished Modesto Ash. I'm amazed at how much grain there really is. Good job, and thank you.
I think this is the third piece of this I have turned and this one is by far my favorite. A great piece of wood! Thanks for the info, Walter! 😊
What a beautiful piece of art. Your turning’s should be in a art museum
You are too kind, Michael, thank you! 😊
An Ooh Aah Bowl. I love that term.
Beautiful work

Hi there Phil I totally agree with you. It is fantastic and there is nothing not to like anywhere and like you said it’s a four-way bowl. I even like the repair you did with the glue and the wood flower as I call it because it’s literally like flour. You can’t even see that repair. It just looks like part of the wood. well you did it again knocked out of the park.❤️🙂
Thank you so much, Martin! 😊
Somehow I missed this video but found it fulfilling!
Good to know, Doug, thank you! 😊
Awesome outcome. In the beginning I thought it was ugly, but a swan emerged. BTW I was one of the people shouting, “fill the holes”.
I heard you, Gary! 😊
I forgot to mention that I visited the community on your home page and saw all the NE bowls you showed. I must humbly say that until I got a good look at your natural edge work, I was not convinced it was for me. That all changed after watching a couple videos and viewing your NE work. I am now eager to try turning a couple NE bowls from the wood I have in my shop. Thanks for enlightening me Phil. Doug Olsen
I will admit, that's a great looking picture, Doug. It inspires me, too! I will tell you, once you get a few of these under your belt, going back to plain, perfect, round bowls is difficult and not nearly as interesting. Have fun with them! 😊
All i can say Phil is thats a really nice piece of natural Phil art! Well done sir.
😊
Very Unique and Natural BEAUTIFUL piece of Wood Art! Thanks for passing along the Coffee Grinder tip.
You're welcome, Dave, thanks for watching! 😊
Phil worked his Magic again..awesome piece !
😊
I find your courage inspiring! When ever I get that close to so much thin ca glue I usually end up with a rubber glove stuck to beard or fore head.
Ive learned that is much better than my hand being glued. I believe they call that a proxy. One day the glove will be stuck to the top of my head. I believe they call that a funky chicken.
LOL! This made me laugh out loud! 😊
That was a great fill Phil. A truly awesome decorative piece 👏. This one is my favourite too. Well done Phil 👏. Take a bow and take care.
Thanks, will do, Joseph! 😊
This bowl is Magnificent! I love all the natural bark and the colors are amazing. ❤🙃
😊
That is a beautiful bowl Phil. You are a master turner.
Thank you, Terry! 😊
Yep...GLORIOUS...is an excellent description ! ! ! .....Newk from Kentucky
Thank you, Newk! 😃
Beautiful piece. You did it justice. I'm a long way from that type of turning, but thanks to you and Kent, I'm making progress.
Thanks for your dedication.
Very welcome, Bill, thanks for watching and keep at it! 😊
Here I was, feeling sorry for myself with some health issues and I came across this and it cheered me right up! Thanks, buddy!
Excellent! 😊
Wow!!! You have another Amazing peice! I love the bark on this one. Thank you Phil and Tuffy
Thanks a lot, Dan! I agree, beautiful bark! 😊
Always so much to appreciate about your pieces. The bark is always my favorite part of your work. A beautiful piece!
Thank you, I like it, too! 😊
Second view: simply fabulous, Phil!
I appreciate that, Richard, thanks! 😊
Really neat turning Phil , thank you for sharing
😊
I think that’s one of your best pieces, Phil! Gorgeous!
😊
The grain are bark are stunning. Beautiful piece!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Margaret! 😊
It's beautiful, I love the wood. Nature! beauty, God. Thanks, Phil. If you glance at Sprague Woodturning, you will see a small electric fry pan with a pool of melted hot glue, and he dips his glue waste blocks in that and slaps the block on the back of the piece. To part it he uses one of the tools and parts it off on the lathe. Just some ideas. Love to spend time with you, Phil. Thanks for the beauty.
😊
You’re a master in looking at a piece and see what to do with it. It’s art, Phil.
Thank you! 😊
Lovely piece Phil. I like the vertical view best. In the vertical position the bowl portion would make an ideal niche for an old black and white photograph of loved ones. Another ace in the hole Phil. Thanks!
Thanks a lot, Kersi! 😊
Great piece Phil. Liked it so much I came back at a later date to watch it again.
Glad you enjoyed it, Stan, thank you so much! 😊
Beautiful piece. I'm glad you Phil'd the holes. 😀
😊 LOL!
You are such a duck, Phil! That table by my door would have to be pretty big to hold even half of the stuff you’ve done that speaks to me! Bless you.
LOL! Thanks, Daryl! 😊
Thank you for the tip of using a coffee grinder to produce fine particles. Another beautiful piece.
Thanks, Norm! 😊
To be honest, I didn't think it wouldn't go well this time but there I got it.
But one thing is certain, your work will always be wonderful. I have never seen anything boring made by you. I wish I could give you more , 👍, it's just to say thank you for the show.
❤ Carsten
Thank you very much, Carsten! 😊
Yep, out of the park again. Wasn't sure about the filler at first but turned out proper lovely. Been searching for a clean up system for a while and I think you have nailed for me, thanks Phil. Stay safe.
😊
I love this one! It has a very feminine quality, in my opinion. Nice work on this one!!
Cool, thank you, Leona! 😊
Yes Phil, that piece is absolutely gorgeous!

I have to say this was a very enjoyable and indulgent video. I enjoyed seeing it from every angle. It was as close as possible to turning it over in my hands. Thanks for that.
Thank you so much, Ron! 😊
It’s beautiful, Phil. Jim sprague mounts all his bowls using hot glue. He heats up several sticks in a shallow electric oven. 🌞
Thank you, Ray! 😊
One more for the hall of fame. Nice Job Phil :-)
