- This piece was covered in mold and mildew. Lots of soft, punky areas. I got something out of it, but, was it worth the time? You decide.
Finished in shellac.

Thanks for tuning in today, folks! Love ya for that!
I'm not likely to have a turning video next week. I'm about to start on changing from old computer to new and I have a ton of files to move. I'm sure it's going to take days and days! I'm also quite nervous about it so, wish me well, please! LOL!
Phil
Best of luck.
I moved all of my files (including movies) in a couple of hours. The software is really better now. Good luck.
😊
😊
Today I'm watching you in bed on a Friday evening instead of from my bed on Friday morning so I'm a bit discombobulated!That sounded like a windy day at Shady Acres when you recorded that Phil. As always you made something good come out of that ol' bit of wood.
I'm going to save the e-bike videos for when you're wrangling your computer. Good luck, hope it goes well, see you on the other side of the terabytes! 👍
God doesn't make ugly wood!! I like what you have done to show the beauty of the piece. 🙃
Thank you, Frank! 😀
You always get out of the wood what the wood gives you, Phil. Listening and watching you make your way through it is what makes your channel so appealing. Thanks for bringing us along! Have fun with your new computer!
Thank you, Greg! 😊
Nice piece. When you do all you can you just stand. You always do the wood the best you an.
I think it’s beautiful! I love butternut! Thanks Phil!
Thanks for watching, Brenda! 😊
Don't be so hard on yourself Phil this is still a beautiful piece of wood that you turned into art! Pleasure to watch👍👍
😊
Good evening, Phil.
Butternut makes a nice wood bowl. Thanks for bring us another turning adventure from Shady Acres Woodshop.
You bet, Ray, thanks for watching!😀
All in all , I think it turned out pretty neat ! It's always better to turn than burn . Thanks for sharing Phil
😊
Toni and I watched this last night and agree that you managed to bring the best out of this one. Like you, I prefer the bottom.
Neat, thank you, Neal and Toni! 😊
I think that turned out better than you're giving credit. You made the most of it anyway.. Thanks Phil.
Thanks for watching, Bob! 😊
An attractive piece Phil and as always fun to watch.
Thank you very much, David! 😊
A new computer with tons of RAM and a good video card will absolutely blow your mind Phil. You'll save so much time in the editing process.
It's got 64 gigs of RAM, four times what my old computer has. Still, I wish it had more! 😊
@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop and you need a good CPU. I think Intel is here a good choice.
@@didman1971 I7, 13th gen, I think.
@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop that's a really good choice.
It's perfectly imperfect!
😊
Phil I think you brought out the very best in your work. I think you and papa1947 have the best channels on the. I like to watch you turn a vase once in a while because I can see you are not quite as comfortable doing it. More like me. Good luck on the computer, and keep turning. Thanks
I appreciate it, Dave, thank you! 😊
I think it looks pretty good to me, Phil. Love it.
Thank you, Laura! 😊
I think the piece turned out very interesting!
😊
Beautiful bowl, Phil. 😊😊😊
Thank you! 😊
I still learned from you, as always! You pointed out challenges and how to work with what you have. Even though the piece is not the most beautiful that I have seen you make, I learned a lot about the wood, and how to work with it. Don't view it as a failure, or less than desirable, but rather as a great learning experience!! --Ed
Good points, Ed! 😊
That might make an interesting table clock. 😉
😊
I think that looks awesome,Phil.thanks
Thank you, Jack! 😊
Thank You Phil, Thank You Valerie.... Wood in all its forms is always interesting to me. Punky wood, extremally hard wood, it is all interesting in it's own way. Nice turning Phil, I enjoyed watching. ... New computer great!!! (get a 43'' monitor, ha, I am watching the buttons on your shirt 11/2'' diameter, omg)... Until next time ... TM
Haha, 1 1/2" buttons, huh? 😊 My old computer has a 28" monitor and I thought that was big. I just bought a new 32" curved monitor for my new computer. You must get a suntan every time you sit down in front of a 43" monitor, Tuffy! LOL!
Hi Phil...
As others have said... you definitely got the most out of that unpromising piece of wood...
Nice job...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Thanks a lot, Andy! Have a great weekend! 😊
WOW PHIL u deffinetly know how too make a great bowls.
Thank you, Manjit!😀
I think it was a nice save. So many chonks flying when you were doing the bowl. The crotch feather on the bottom is great.
Yup, the bottom is the star! 😊
Phil, you may not like the piece that much, but(and that’s a big but), you still do some mighty wonderful work with what you’ve been given! Thank you so much for the video. Scott
Thank you very much, Scott! 😊
🙋♂️🏴 Hi Phil another trip into your workshop and a story you have told. Different wood from what you expected and several obstacles in your way, but never the less you did it. It's not all about the finished piece but when they are on display you can tell all the different woods and the problems you had to overcome to finish the pieces. I hope you get your new PC working soon my week won't be the same without my visit to your workshop. Take care Phil.
Thanks, John! 😊 Everything is set up, lots of moving about to get there. Now I just have to let Windows do it's thing and then start adding programs, etc.
Well I like it , its different. Love the shape.
Thank you, Denise! 😊
Phil, I think you made the best that could be with what you have.
Thanks, Jean!😀
Doesn't matter what you make. You made it with your own talent. Thank you
😊
I think it's awesome! I really like the way it looks...
Yay, thank you! 😊
Turned out really nice ❤️
Thanks, Diane! 😊
Much better than letting it disappear in the fireplace, and it does look good standing on its edge and on its base.
All the best to you.
Regards Jim
Thank you, Jim! 😊
Hey you rescued it from the mulch pile stopped the decay process all in all nice turning
Thank you, Rene! 😊
Still looks beautiful Phil
Thank you, Clyde! 😀
This is still a beautiful piece Phil. U always do a fantastic job. Good luck on the new PC 🤞. Thx and take care.
Thank you so much! 😊
You have been an inspiration to me. I try to find the ugliest bizarre piece of wood to turn and bring out its beauty. Wish me luck. I'm submitting 5 weird wood bowls to a jury to be evaluated to see if I'm skilled enough to display in their facility. You helped me understand how to take chances as such by using wood usually relegated to firewood.
Excellent! Good luck! 😊
I think it's a great unique piece. Would make a great fruit bowl.
Thank you, Mary! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop You’re very welcome Phil.
Доброго времени суток Фил. Отличная работа. Получилась очень красивая чаша. Страшненькая заготовка, превратилась в настоящий шедевр. Мне очень нравится, что Вы не боитесь нестандартных заготовок, из них получаются очень красивые вещи. Древесина двух оттенков, это очень красиво. Спасибо за видео.
Большое спасибо! Мне очень нравится использовать неидеальную древесину. Просто получается более интересная вещь. Я рад, что ты чувствуешь то же самое! 😊
Very nice Phil
Happy turnings
Yiannis
Thank you, Yiannis! 😀
Thank you, Phil, for another great video, I saw your 3 reviews yesterday. Lol❤❤❤
Thank you so much, Jeanne! 😊
It's very interesting Phil.
Haha you are so diplomatic, Sue! 😊
It's interesting. I like it.
Thank you, Shanon! 😊
That's still nice, Phil. You're your own worst critic. That would look good on a table with some live cactus or flowers in it.
Bill
Yeah, that would be a good use for it, Bill! They would hide a lot of the flaws! 😊
Oh Phil, it may be older or damaged wood, but the subtle grain coloration I find quite appealing. Additionally, it challenged you a bit too, and if you are even a little like me, you still enjoy conquering a challenge. You gave it a chance to be something other than moldy wood. It is a unique and usable piece.
Thank you, Vicki! 😊
It’s a beautiful bowl, Phil! We all have a little “rot” and undulation in us! And butterbut! It’s very hard to come by here knowing NH. Seven years ago I volunteered to build an ADA ramp for an elderly couple who couldn’t afford to have it professionally built. I was admiring his beautiful butternut trees. The husband scoured his yard to give me a handful of butternuts to plant. That was a “payment” money can’t make. Now I think of this every time I see butternut.
Wonderful story, Daniel, thank you for sharing! 😊
Keys, rock collection,just toss 'em in there. LOL
😊
Hey Phil enjoyed the video. Punky wood is hard to work with. Hard to sand and to get a nice finish. Good luck with the data transfer. Used computers daily before I retired. That is one of the things I don’t miss. Have a good weekend. Dan
Haha, thanks, Dan! I'm getting there but, slowly! 😊
Hi Phil this piece ofButternut is really wonderful I like the grain and colour and the markings in it I totally love this wood. The bark is awesome it looks lovely. The key, coin live edge dish is magnificent and unique. The finish you used really made the wood and bark stand out I really love it well done Phil. Take care all the best with change over of computers from Amanda xx❤❤
Thank you, Amanda! 😀 Cheers!
I like it! Both sides now 🎉
😊
Phil, it's ALWAYS a JOY to spend time with you. Although we're not physically with you we are with you in spirit. The piece of Butternut you had was NOT good to look at BUT, in typical Phil, 'never say never' you decided to give it your best shot AND YOU WON. This bowl is brilliant when one considers what you started with & it certainly would make a great 'key bowl' & I am sure many other uses could be found for it. I too would get nervous having to change anything to do with computer files so I feel for you. Good luck with it my friend. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
Thank you, Don! Today is the day for the computer switch. I have a good handle on how I'm going to do it, just have to get started! 😊
I think it's lovley 😊
Thanks, Colleen! 😊
Hey, you showed that Butternut who was boss! Turned out pretty nice!
Thank you Phil!
Thanks, Kelly! 😊
It turned out very beautiful! Of you were selling it I would buy it. Thank you for this video!
Thank you! 😊
Standing on end & looking at the back, you could cut & put a picture of you & the missus in it. Ty for taking us along
Cool idea, thanks! 😊
It’s still very nice looking.
😊
You took a very rough piece and made it shine. I like it! Good luck with the computer!
Thank you, Steve! Today's the day, I hope to be up and running by dinner time. Not finished, just running! 😊
Phil I like what you made out a piece of fire wood. You always turn the not so good piece of wood into something awsome. Thanks for the tip on sharpening the mortise tool I have the same one and have been using some of my wife's finger nail emery boards . Will have to find one of those Dimond cards. Thanks again !!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Terry! 😊 I think you will find the diamond card works very easily, just a couple strokes.
I think it's great. Not every piece is going to be museum piece. You did a fantastic job with what you had to work with.
Thanks, Dennis! 😊
Well done Phil, sometimes mother nature says "This is life, get on with it!" and we've got no choice in the matter.
I've just spent days with my wife's new computer, I even spent over 5 hours solid with online support and it's still not working right. It's being packaged up with letters and paperwork and we want our money back. Please God, bring back Windows 7, what a great system that was!
Yes, I love my Windows 7, John! 😊
Every piece I've watched you turn has been a Masterpiece, Phil, and this is no exception. If this was on your table at home it would be unique. Nobody else would have a bowl anywhere like it. Don't run yourself down, Mate.
I wish you all the luck in the world with your new computer. I've just got Windows Crap, sorry Windows 10 on my lap top.what a technical error that was!!!
Thank you, Cliff! New computer has Win 11. I have it on my laptop and don't love it! 😊
Hi Phil, We moved into the farm this past week and the work load is enormous but everyone is making a huge effort to make it beautiful. It is outside of Port Rowan, Ontario about 3 miles north of Lake Erie. We're already planning the wood shop in the barn but it will probably take a year before I will be turning anything. Keep inspiring me.
George
New beginnings, sounds wonderful, George! Just enjoy the process, you'll get there! 😊
Phil to be fair it turned out much nicer that what I thought it would, it was really punky and the bark was in bad shape. So well done for persevering on it, well done.
Thank you, Alan! 😊
A good result from a piece of firewood, Phil. You redeemed it, to show it interesting structure. It will look good on someone's mantlepiece.
Or under it, Richard! 😊
The shape is great -- overall, I think it turned out pretty good -- use as a utility bowl for somebody say a catch all it's just right for. Some pieces are for showpieces and some for work pieces so don't be unhappy about the product is still turned very nice and very useful. Still enjoy your videos thank you for continuing to share.
Great point, Lynda! Yes, it is at least, useful. Thank you! 😊
Even though the wood wasn’t the best, that still turned out pretty awesome Phil
Thanks, Ken! 😊
Morning Phil.
I could see it was very punky by the dust that was coming off rather than shavings.
I like the end result end great work getting it to a finished state.
Good luck with your new computer, I don't like the process of moving everything over from one to another either but once it's done you'll be happy.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw
I sure hope so, Huw. Today's the day! 😊
Thanks Phil, Great lesson again. I always use my 100mm jaws instead of the 50mm jaws whenever I can, even with the wood screw. More stability is always an advantage.
Thanks, Bob! 😊
Patience and determination gave you success unknown to the common man. I had my doubts when I first saw the piece of wood at the beginning of the video. It came out nicer than I imagined it would.
Thank you, Douglas! 😊
Woodpecker holes? I kinda like it. It has a funky look to it. That'd be Funky Punky ? ! ?
Yup, Yellow Bellied Sapsucker, Brock! 😊 Haha, Funky Punky, I love it!
@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Never seen no Yellerbellys around here, plenty of redheaded woodpeckers though, and I've seen that same pattern of holes.
I have a fascination with Butternut and I just can't help myself from turning it. Just finished up a black Walnut bowl because all I've been turning lately was Butternut. Good luck with technology I'm terrible at it. Happy turning my friend 😊
Oh, I bet the black Walnut is pretty! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop yes it is and I also love turning that species just as much. The smell of Black Walnut to me is a pleasant smell with a mask on of course. Safety is always first along with education of what I do for the first time on what I'm doing. My biggest problem is I have more wood than I can could ever turn. I think? But if it's a species of wood that I haven't turned. I'm heading out with my chainsaw to get some. Just can't help myself.
Hi Phil, Great work! I really do appreciate your dedication to your pieces. I actually like the color of this wood and the contrast where the wood meets the bark. Always enjoyable to watch your expertise unfold. Good luck with your computer project!
Thank you very much, Susanne! 😊
I'm afraid that I would never have even started to turn this one.
You amaze me when you turn wacky wood
Wacky is as wacky does, Dana! 😊
Well it is a bowl and it shows your determination to make some thing nice! This one looks different and it might be good for storing some odds and ends in it! Anyway well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thank you, Al! 😊
Love your show! And all those holes are sapsucker woodpecker holes🙂
Yes they are, Betsy! 😊
Watching you produce such lovely work gives the rest of us amateurs hope. Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend 🌞
Cool, thanks, Ray! 😊
Not the nicest wood but still an enjoyable watch, Phil. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! 😊
I would be proud of that piece Phil. I love making a crotch platter like that.. always so pretty. Thank you for sharing. I will see you next week
Thanks, Albert! 😊
I am afraid the old saying "you can't make a silk purse out of a Sows ear came to mind" fair play you stuck with it and did the best you could. not read any comments yet so no doubt some people will love it will check now. 😁
Yes, I have a very diplomatic audience, Lewis! LOL!
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop we all love you that's why. 😁
I just started it, and I see sapsucker holes. That means it's probably butternut. Awesome
There used to be a lot of this wood in Oregon, but those birds think it's quite tasty. In Minnesota, Carpenter ants like to make nests in the trunk. It's just too sweet to ignore it. This is bad, because it's my favorite carving wood. All the beauty of walnut, but it's soft and still holds good detail.
😊
I like it❤
Thank you, Audie! 😊
Glad to see you kept going to the end, and didn’t throw it in the burning pile. Sometimes we all get that piece of wood that just isn’t the best. But with a lot of determination, in the end it turns out good. Great job Phil 👍. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Thank you, Scott! 😊
Phil, I think you don't give yourself enough credit. It's another great looking piece! Art out of firewood is always a good thing, especially in your skilled hands!👍🙂
Thanks, Ron! 😊
Very nice.
Thank you 😊
This is the best piece of firewood you have turned to date. Reminds me of being set up for a blind date and told "she's got a great personality". Put a bag over her head and then she's downright pleasant. Honestly Phil, this piece isn't just ugly, its OOOGLY! You know where it belongs.
LOL! 😊
A good bath for the local squirrels. Hahahaha. Have a blessed weekend Phil 💜🙏
Haha, there ya go, Beth! 😊
It is very interesting. Sometimes, we all get a fail,Phil. It would make a very cool clock from the bottom.
Great idea, Jane! 😊
That piece of wood was quite challenging. You did an admirable job with what it provided and the bark does have some interesting features. I agree, the bottom looks quite nice; I think it would look very cool with a clock movement in it -- the size of the recess is about the right diameter for something like that.
Best of luck with the computer upgrade. I remember when getting a new computer was an exciting event because of all the new features and capabilities that came with the upgrade; it has now become more traumatic than exciting. I will say that upgrading has become less traumatic after migrating to the Apple environment -- the last several upgrades have been really very transparent and painless.
Thank you, Mark! I agree, it used to be fun to get a new computer and now it's just dread to make the change. I'll get it done, though! 😊
Well honestly as you would say , I'm not in love with it lol . But it is nice . Good turning Phil 👍
Thanks, Lionel! 😊
I have carved butternut, looks dull but the minute a finish is put on it, it just looks amazing.
😊
Throw in keys, throw in rocks but, if you’re Phil, never throw in the towel. 😄
Haha, love that, thank you, George! 😊
Brave effort, Phil, but your skill and dedication was insufficiently rewarded this time. I've had my own share of overly-punky wood, lately, and it can be very frustrating. Onwards and upwards, brother.
Thanks, Don! 😊
I’m going to name this piece… Hearty pants ❤
Haha, OK! 😊
I had a piece of maple that had a nice little feather inside. The other half is still sitting on the pile. Maybe I'll grab it this weekend.
😊
I like it that you kept the bark . It gives the piece a rustic look. Job well done.
Thank you, Stewart! 😊
I had my doubts about this one. Sure turned into a nice piece. A pleasure as always.😊
Thank you! Cheers! 😊
The inside has a beautiful honey glow and I think it’s beautiful.
Thank you! 😊
Love the hickory!
😊
Phil, You took a nasty piece of wood. I wasn't sure what would come of your effort. I think you got the best out of what you had to work with. Good work.
Thanks, Russ! 😊
Looks good from here! Im glad most of the punky wood was able to be removed. Might’ve been better without the bark.
Yes, it might have been, Christine, thank you! 😊
I use a lot of punky wood making my keepsake boxes. What I do is use a watered down poly and apply it to the wood before I get into it. It absorbs the poly and makes it stronger to work with. Maybe apply the sanding sealer to the punky parts and see what happens with the cutting.
Thanks a lot, Cabman! 😊
I think it still looks pretty cool Phil 😎
We’ve been putting some of those polished rocks in a few bowls,
Enjoyed the video 👍
Sounds great, Kimsey, this one would be perfect for that kind of thing! 😀
