- My most difficult project to date. I just hate wasting wood so thought I would turn this odd shaped cut-off into a bowl. Little did I know what I was getting myself into.

Phil I admire your adventurous attitude and the use of tools that are not your favorites but use them to get the job done
Thank you, Tom! 😊
I've never been so nervous watching someone turn a bowl before. Gez, I can't believe you did that and lived to share it. Congrats!
Me either, Terry! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Phil
I love the odd ones like this, I look at my wood pile and see possibilities I wouldn't have seen otherwise. This one made my arms ache though watching it!
Never again, Brad! 😊
Oh my gosh, scary stuff! I usually find watching wood turning relaxing, great results, I'm glad you persevered and didn't loose a limb :-)
Never again, I learned my lesson with this one!
A lot of work, but I think it was worth it. An outstanding work of art indeed. Hard to turn something you can't see. Thanks for all your hard work and thanks for sharing. A nice piece of wood and the two of you worked well together.🌿 👍👍👍👍👍 🕊
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Well that was a mental and physical workout! I could feel you agonizing over the process. As usual you came through with a unique and beautiful piece. The finish is really nice and you can see how smooth it is. It is so enjoyable to watch you create amazing pieces.
Never again! LOL! Thank you! 😊
Phil, I believe that this inbuilt desire to find the 'best' in any piece of wood you find is part of what motivates & drives you to find the best result possible in any piece of wood that anyone puts before you. It also makes the situation such that you will succeed in gaining the best result. It's what defines you my friend & makes you the skilled craftsman that you are. Just go on being you & producing the delights that we love to view. This is a great result from this odd piece of wood that found its way into your hands. It great grain & the finish could not be better to 'show it off'. Keep on turning & giving us the honour of hearing you work your way through it. Excellent stuff my friend, Don.
Thank you so much, Don!
Your high/low bowl came out lovely. You really make me wish I could get my hands on some of your work!
Thank you so much, Linda! Maybe someday.
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop ....I too would like to own a Phil Anderson original piece someday...Lololol....
Absolutely love it! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your kind comment, Tish!
Phil
I think this would make an amazing shelf. Decorators would pay a fortune for it!
I think that is probably the best use of it too, Kristi! 😊
This is an incredible test of patience, but even more so of skill. this really is beautiful
Thank you so much, Joseph! I'm so glad you like this one!
Phil
I kept watching thinking oh no this is one time I am not going to give a thumbs up, but the Crocodile looking bark saved the day, wonderful finish you accomplished.
Never again, Lewis, never again...
You're officially crazy 😂 there were points where I couldn't watch cos I was concerned for your safety 😂 well done for seeing it through to the end mate, looks great finished 😊
No doubt about it, Will! Crazy as a loon. But, I learned my lesson and won't be doing that again!
Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated!
Phil
That was a journey! Kudos to you for sticking with it.....it is beautiful.
Thank you so much! 😊
That turned out so beautiful!
I think it's been the most interesting of your works to watch so far. The wonders of slip when watching something spin really makes things interesting sometimes. The times when it looks like you're took isn't touching a thing, yet it's spitting out wood chips is a bit comical. I'm glad you such with it, as the end is amazing!
I like the shelf idea 👍. Man that turning made me nervous 😬
You and me both! Never again! 😊
I don't know about everyone else but every time you reach to turn off the lath I cringe thinking the wood is going to hit your arm. Amazing work thanks for sharing.
Same here 😬
I agree.
No matter what you were thinking is a wonderful piece and quite an interesting piece!!!👍
Happy Wood turning to you!!!👍
Thank you, Jon! 😊
Nice work. You sir have lots of patience. Love all your turning.
Thank you so much, Dave!
Phil
Phil, you almost made me start drinking again! I was so nervous for you with that big ol slab of wood splining around. I just knew it was gonna pop you in the arn and bark your wrist ! So glad that didn't happen. That looks really coll though. The grain looked really nice with the contrast of the bark. You could always use it for a door stop ! Another fine project good sir. Thank You for sharing that journey of creating that beauty.
Haha, perfect door stop, Jason! 😊
Phil an awesome job beautiful bowl you’re braver than I am
Braver or just stupid? I'm never doing this again, Robert!
Phil
I guess I should have watched more it did get you. Take your time becareful in the future thanks for sharing.
No worries, never again with a piece like this, Garet! 😊
Absolutely Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers! 😊
Great piece which shows the operator his experience took an odd shape piece and his artistic flare took over and completed a gorgeous rustic center piece for a coffee table. I love it, I also appreciate the craftsmanship and the humbleness off the creator of this piece of art
Wow, such kind words, George! Thank you, I really appreciate it!
Phil
Great work. You hung in there. Your diligence paid off. I enjoy your talents.
You are too kind, Michael, thank you!
And I thought I was nuts🥴 nice one Phil 👌
Just because I'm nuts doesn't mean you're not, Ian! LOL! Thank you, my friend!
that was very frightening to watch but man you are good. you have an uncany knack to see what we have no idea of, thanks for sharing your skill and your sense of humor.
Never again, Nigel, never again! 😊
It's interesting and the wood is attractive. I think almost looks like a child's car seat in shape. You do come up with the most imaginative shapes.
😊
You are a brave man and I do like the style of the bowl I think it is a piece of art.
Thank you very much, John! I'm not that brave anymore, but I'm really glad you like it and took your time to let me know!
Phil
Good job Phil beautiful
Thank you, Jim! 😊
I love the shelf idea!
Great, thanks, Mabel! 😊
Excellent turning Phil and a great result.
Glad you enjoyed it, Chris. I will never do that again! 😊
Wow, you’ve got guts! I just knew that was going to fly off the lathe and take you out. You did a great job! It is beautiful and even more so because it is atypical. Thanks for letting us watch.
Hahaha, thank you, Susan! I've got guts enough to say I will never do that again! I had no idea what I was in for. It did turn out ok but now just serves as a lesson on what not to do! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Absolutely beautiful and unique bowl.
Thank you, Todd, I'm really glad you like it!
Phil
I see a small planter of english ivy sitting inside. The vines would work well with the rustic feel of the piece. You're a brave man to work on a piece of wood that dangerous!!! Take a well deserved bow
😊
Great outcome Phil. Your a bit of a sadist, most would have thrown it in the bin. Thank you for sharing this and well done. Regards Terry
And I should have, TJ but lesson learned. I'll never do that again!
I think you are very brave and I love the piece think its beautiful
Wow that is stunning thank you 😊
Thank you for watching and commenting, Linda! Much appreciated!
I too wondered (and was looking forward to seeing) what were you thinking 🤔... and it is beautiful as it is unusual. I'm figuring out here that you master in taking the weird and awkward and turning them (pun intended) into items of beauty and gracefulness... thanks for sharing
Thank you for your very kind comment, Ruthlyn!
Phil
Brother thank you for sharing this video it wore me out watching i know it did you. That was a lot of work and i don't think i would have attempted it. Thanks for sticking with it to the end it turned out beautiful
😊
I like your idea of V WW lamp and shelf. Pretty piece no matter what. It looked like a lot of work.
Yes it was! 😄
Phil,
Boy oh boy I have never seen you so apprehensive on a project but I can totally understand especially after it bites you. I don’t know who was sweating more you or us. But it came out nice. I hope your thumb mend’s quickly. Please be safe and enjoy what you do.
It did take a few days to heal, Kevin, but it's like it never happened which is the same as this bowl. Never again! LOL!
Very unusual object!!! Lots of work!!!LOL. But it did turn out nice👍👍👍👍
Thank you for watching and commenting, Jack! Never again, never again...
Phil
that is one of the best vid I seen. you are so honest in your comment/ talk when you work. Tome up
I'm so glad you liked it, Rejnar! Thank you for watching and commenting, much appreciated!
Phil
I was getting dizzy with the slow-mo. You're a brave man Phil I turn a lot of natural Edge bowls but I wouldn't touch that one. Great job
Never again, John, never again! 😊
Great work. Very ambitious and well-executed.
Thank you, Dave! Ambitious, yes! Foolhardy, probably. I'll never do it again, but I'm so glad you took your time to watch and for your great comment!
Phil
Good job Phil, love your videos. Thomas Roberts
Thanks, Thomas! 😊
Now that was scary, hard to avoid those invisible high spots coming at you. Keeps you alert.
Never again, Tom! 😊
Sir I am very impressed with your bravery there were a few scary moments there!! That said it is a gorgeous piece congrats!!
Thanks, Andy! I think if I would have started the turning the other way around, I never would have finished it. But, with time invested in the bottom I felt like I had to finish it. Yeah, it was a little dangerous, I hope I don't get that brave again! LOL!
It turned out to be a really nice piece well done
😊
Nice work! A great piece of art. Kinda looks like a sleigh to me. I think it would make a great decorative piece for Christmas filled with small gifts.
Great idea, Heidrun!
Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated!
Phil
Great job. Scary to watch but the end result is amazing. Cheers mate
It was scary to turn and I won't be doing it again! Hahaha... Thank you for watching and commenting, John, very much appreciated!
First, I am sorry you were injured while turning this piece, and I am very glad that, from what I can see, you healed quickly and completely. Sure hope there were no lingering issues. I kept seeing this piece as a base for a table arrangement. Dried flowers? Or perhaps a riff on a Thanksgiving horn of plenty? A unique, multi use piece. 👍👍👍
Yeah, it was a quick ouch and back to work, moment, Vicki. I, too, thought it would make a good horn of plenty. 😊
I was scared for you but really like the end result. 👍
I'm glad you like, it, Kim but never again! 😊
Absolutely brilliant! I want to learn from you , Phil 👍🏻🙏
Never on a piece like this cause I ain't never turning another one! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I completely agree with you 😀
I think you did a Great Job on it it is very nice looking.
Thank you very much, Hubert! 😊
Wow....nerves of steel there 😳👍 I think I would have stopped after the first cut!
Well, I probably should have, Jonathon. It's just the stubbornness when I already have a lot of time in a piece, I think. But, I'll never do this again!
Phil
Every time a new incentive : what to do out of it , where to drill a hole , which speed for the Forstner bit , the angle etc...best result !
Thank you very much, Youenn!
What was you thinking Lol look's like a yard sitter Loved it
Thanks, Ohio Hunter!
Phil
Dr Phil, it looks like a perfect bread bowl to me. Bread, muffins, pastries. All look good in a bowl like this. Or fruit bowl. Gorgeous! 👍🏻♥️🇺🇲
Sounds great! 😊
I think it is an excellent piece. I am just getting started with "wood turning:" and really enjoy your videos.
Awesome, thank you, Danny! Best of luck with your new hobby!
This one certainly put you through it. Well persevered, Phil!!
Never, ever will I do that again, Richard! LOL!
I really admire your tenacity and determination on this one Phil - especially after it bit a chunk out of your hand! But the end result was an unusual but still beautiful piece. It kinda resembles a slipper and the bark looks like crocodile skin. I really like it!
I'm glad you like it, Stevan but never again! 😊
It looks like. A Dutch shoe or a babies cot. Unique👍🤪👏🙏🇬🇧
You are a far braver man than I - nice job!!!
I'm not sure brave is the word for it, Art. Dumb, maybe. Thank you, glad you like it!
You should be very proud of yourself...no one would have attempted that...it would have ended up in the fireplace! You, sir, are a true artist, your bowl is truly magnificent!
In hindsight, Judith, I should have put it in the fireplace! It did eventually turn out but I'll never do that again! Thank you so much for your wonderful comment!
Phil
I like the wall hanging/shelf idea
Cool, thanks, Marcus! 😊
This is absolutely beautiful! I’m sorry you hurt your hand!
Thank you, Barb! 😊
Thats very cool! Well done.
Thank you for watching and commenting, Charles!
Phil
I think that the end result is stunning. I might have turned it in reverse for better body comfort but we all turn differently. I like the full version of the video better by the way. Good to see you in the shop again. Stay healthy.
Good to know, Mark, thank you! 😊
Oh my. I'm a newby to turning. Recently rapped a knuckle on the chuck. Well the skin grew back. Got me a kevlar glove right handy to the lathe. Le sson learned. Beautiful job.
Thank you, micstica! I'm a bit of a slow learner. The kevlar glove is a great idea!
Phil
I admired your bravery. It looked dangerous, with you flying blind at one point. If it were me, and it whacked my hand, it would go straight on the firewood pile. A good result though. Your suggestion of a wall light would look good, next to your front door, or someone else's.
Never again, Richard! 😊
Just watched this again, apologies if I commented before, great result from lots of hard work 😓, well done as usual 😀👏👏👍🏻
Glad you like it, Steve. I can tell you, I will never do anything like this again!
Phil
Wow !!
Wow, that's impressive.
Nice looking piece. Good job.
It was a tough one, Al. Never again! Thank you for commenting!
I’m freaked out watching this!
I wonder if a strobe light would have helped?
It came out looking great!I was afraid for you for a minute or two!
Thank you, Cary! I was afraid, too!
Phil
Phil
What a great bowl, I am thinking it would be a great piece to use as a prop for a photographer to use as a seat for a baby picture or animals in a forest shot.
Great job as always!
Ron
Good suggestion, Ron, thank you!
Phil
Big challenge, well done.
Never again, Jack! 😊
That is one intimidating chunk of wood. Better you than me!
This looked scary dangerous, man. I was actually relieved when you stopped turning.
Me too! 😊
Wow Phil, I have been sitting on the edge of my seat watching you working on that piece, every time you went to shut the lathe down I was cringing you didn't get caught with that sharp edge. stay safe form Scotland.
You and me both, Alan! Never again! LOL! Thanks for watching!
I just put up a new retaining wall on my driveway. That ball that you just made would make a perfect potting plant for me to decorate my wall in the spring and in the summer. I think I'm going to make about four of them. Thank you for the inspiration. Not only in the tourney but in the practice of patience.
Oh, gosh, Nathan, I don't think I would recommend anyone try turning something like this. I know I never will again. Just scary, that's all. As far as patience, well, once I have time invested I just don't like wasting the wood. That's the only reason I finished this piece.
Phil
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop lol... still going to try.
I find it funny when you do the time laps... the log appears to be slowly rotating but we can see chips of wood just appearing and flying away out of no where. Very fun to watch.
Cool, happy to entertain, Skyrunner! 😊
Maybe you did not know quite what was in front of you but your desire to produce the best piece you can from a given piece of wood has seen you 'win'. Hang in there mate!
I'm hanging, Donald!
Probably would have been more fun with softer wood.
The video shows you to be a very methodical craftsman with standards and some dating. I am so glad your equipment, skill, and methods were up to the level of your determination.
Looks to me like a Thanksgiving table heirloom! 🦃🥧☕
Yeah, I'll never do this again! I got it done but there was nothing fun about it. 😊
The natural part I liked how it looks, the sealer/poly really brings out the colors. AND I'm glad you didn't hurt urself too bad, life is a lesson.
Lesson learned, Mitch! LOL! Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated!
Phil
great job phil i love it make a good hand bason to have a wash in top work
Great idea, Robert! Thank you!
Wow Phil! That was a crazy undertaking! What were you thinking?! Lol. Looks pretty smooth and the finish came out great! Glad you didn't lose your hand! Sorry I haven't been watching but been in the hospital with breathing issues. Glad to be home again! Take care and see you in the next one friend
Sorry to hear this, Hotrod! That is my issue as well. Hope you are feeling better. 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I'm just happy my 02 levels are back above 90! It's the little things in life Lol.
That was a challenge mate but you done it 👍
Never again! 😊
I could see this piece caused you a load of problems Phil but it shows the viewer all your artistic bravery, well done buddy. I really love it. Graham UK.
Thanks, Graham! Never again! 😊
Ouchie Phil! No tail stock support…making me nervous! The tape is a good idea. I think this is the first video I’ve held my breath on.
Never again, Tina! LOL!
Turned out great, Phil
Thank you, Garth and thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated!
Phil
Some people really enjoy, your work,l am one of them, keep up the good work 👍.
Much appreciated, Bernie! 😊
Quite a battle, there. It ended up really pretty, but i flinched for you ecery rotation. Whew.
Never again, never again... 😊
It’s beautiful.
Thank you, John!
Phil
OW WEE that hurts. Another self inflicted war wound by your friendly lathe. Dont worry everything will be alright when it stops hurting. . Your bowl tuned out really pretty and so did your hand. Im not sure if the bowl or your hand had more cracks in it. Job WELL done KEEP ON TURNIG (if your hand is not too sore)
Haha! One thing I can tell you, Howard. Never again! 😊
I would have attacked it a little differently, but it would not have gotten it the unique look that you got. I do like the end result! Very interesting piece for sure.
Thanks for your comment, Billy, I really appreciate it! I did consider making this a vase, and during the turning I thought that may have been the best choice, but I like the outcome, as well. Thanks again!
Mike Bristow. Liked how you persevered and showed the faults as well as the successes. Gave me a lot of confidence knowing it's not all plain sailing. I thought about putting a chalk mark or some sort of visible mark to make the edge stand out when it's turning. I anticipated an injury when operating the controls. The finished product looks pretty good. I really enjoyed your video. Thanks. Mike
Thanks, Mike, and I really enjoyed your comment! A chalk mark, piece of tape, YES, why didn't I think of that? Great idea for next time! But, there will never be another one of these, I learned my lesson! Thank you so much for taking your time to watch and your great comment! Phil
Picking up outstanding Videos of yours as I go along, But, I'm sure "Lost the Plot" must have come to Mind ---It did to me. but knowing you as I do now I'm not that surprised as to how it turned out. The sanded Finish just took my breath away it looked like Glass and you were so right about the amount of Bark you wanted to keep. Class Piece.. xxxx
Glad you enjoyed it, Jimmy! Thank you so much for taking your time to watch and comment on my videos, you've been very busy! LOL! 😊
Phil it is a fantastic and stunning bowl, sorry that you hurt your hand is it okay. You pushed through and did it.
My hand is fine, Kobie, thaks for asking. I'm glad you watched and commented, much appreciated!
Phil
