I love the fact that you test for how the wood feels to your fingers - that you are so sensitive to the smoothness of the wood. That’s what drew me to woodworking in the first place. I also like that you point out faces or images in the wood.
Nice job Phil! You’ve given me the solution to a knobbly piece of wood I have had stored for a couple of years. Keep these wonder videos coming. Thanks for your efforts.
What a combination of vision, skill and patience that is an example to we lesser folk to encourage us to think outside convention! Thank you for the inspiration.
I just love your imagination! I definitely can see the piggy. The finish is beautiful and of course the bark is wonderful. You have a great style that I really enjoy.
You've completely changed my concept of bowl turning, you preserve the bark and shape of the tree as well as the grain and still make a beautiful bowl. You also teach us and share your experience of creating a lovely artistic piece. Thanks!
I do see the pig, and Princess Leia's hairdo! I also see a bowl which would be great, and stable, as a mixing bowl. It would also look wonderful filled with shiny red apples. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Just love that wood, especially the spalting. Love the deer story, you live in a wonderful place Phil. Thanks for sharing. Stay Safe, regards, Jules, Droitwich, England
Thank you, Jules! Yup, lots of wildlife here. I was driving around my driveway the other night and the mom and baby were lying down in the woods, just off the driveway. As I passed the baby stood up and jumped right in front of me! Thankfully I wasn't going too fast and stopped but I would have felt so bad! Lucky for both of us. 😊
You are so blessed to have mama doe and baby stop by to check on you. How exciting. There are people in our world who have never seen wildlife except in the zoo and you have them literally on you doorstep.
Wow Phil, I'm gaining trust all the time! You stated it was gonna look great, and by golly, you were right. They say familiarity breeds contempt. I don't agree with that. You have a great eye to see the finished project inside the raw material, and after watching you complete so many beautiful turnings, I'm gonna believe if you say it, then it's gonna happen! I only wish I had found your channel earlier, but late to the party is better than not at all! Thanks for all you are doing, you have helped me stay sane while recuperating! Blessings, Rick
I love pigs and love your piggy bowl with the spalting. I wish I had your eye for leaving more natural features instead of turning them away. I’m learning slowly, so thank you!
It's a hard lesson to learn, Brenda. Knowing when to stop is a learned skill. Just stop often, take the time to look it over, think through the "what ifs." 😊
Thank You Phil, Thank You Carl from Berkeley & Sweden... I stopped at Carl's house because his "Honey For Sale" sign was out. Leaving with several gift jars of honey I asked Carl if I could have one piece of his dry firewood for my friend Phil up in Washington. I must have been quite a sight slowly caring the wood & honey & walking stick for several miles ( I was much younger several months ago, ha). ... Phil YOU are the idea behind those sanders. I just made some examples for you to try. Those sanders would not be around if it was not for you. ... Phil you pulled another wonderful turning out of your bag of skills despite all the punky wood. Quite nice Phil and as always FUN TO WATCH ADVENTURES ON YOUR LATHE.....TM
I love your hiking stories about the people you meet, Tuffy! Thanks for lugging this thing along with you and for sending it up here. I hope Carl gets to see what it has become. 😊
Tuffy is such a good mate and has our thanks for his support of giving you weird and wonderful wood to turn❤❤❤ even if you are rolling your eyes off camera when you see his latest gift 😂
So much to be learned from this one Phil. So much to appreciate. Thanks again and again and again. I think I'll just send you all my unturned wood and watch you work your magic on it!
Another world class piece Phil. Your videos inspired me to buy a lathe and start turning bowls from 6 old growth Black Walnut trees that were downed on my farm from a tornado 5 years ago. I have used many tips from your turning and I still watch every one to learn more. Thank You so very much for your vision and inspirational turnings. Your work is absolutely stunning and I hope you continue for at least 100 more years. 😃😃
Wow, what a great comment, Jerry! You make me sit up a little straighter this morning! Enjoy your new hobby and all that wonderful Black Walnut, you are fortunate to have such a great wood for your turnings! 😊
Your vision of what a piece of wood or limby log can become amazes me every time. Love this piece and thanks again for your time and sharing your wonderful skills. Take care sir.
I love it Phil, I see the pig connection and all the beautiful features - also looks a bit like an elephants foot! All the best Phil, hope you're keeping ok!
I see the piggy, I can see an elephant foot too, or an extreme up close picture of an elephant. That is the wonderful thing about art, it is all subjective, each person will see something different. It is beautiful Phil, thank you so much for sharing.
Great Artwork Phil as always. If you only knew how much inspiration you and other wood turners have had on me and my own turning work, and I'm sure others. Happy turning my friend ☺️.
Love this. I worried about pitting, chainsaw marks and flaws in the wood and I’ve learned as you said once,”that is part of the wood’s story”. Thanks for helping new turners learn!
A lovely bit of wood turning their I broke my phones I have only got my contacts back now I can keep an eye on you now feel last time I spoke to you you wasn't now hope you're feeling well now mate I love watching your work you are an inspiration to everyone thank you mate
Very interesting piece of wood. Sometimes trees have the strangest lives, and this one looks to have survived a lot of pruning in its younger days, and it walled off a bunch of dead branches and incorporated them. I like the fine lines of spalting and the dark areas that just float in the lighter wood, very beautiful.
Masterful job, Phil with that soft stuff! We use that wood for bowdrill hearth boards for firebuilding. “It’s just the wood”! Made a nice piggy from that piece of wood from CARL!👍👍👌👌👏👏
I wasn’t really sure where you were going with this piece. I couldn’t see what you saw. Boy! What a diamond in the rough. Gives me something to think about when I come across a chunk of wood that the fire wood guys even pass up. Thanks Phill, great video!!!
Never disappointed! Sometimes less is more. I'm happy you left most of the bark on, it shows such character. Thanks for your hard work, I really enjoy watching you.
It’s the time you take to sand and finish that makes this a piece of art. Grand job. The Simon hope wood turners shop is only 50 miles from mine and I have been resisting the urge to visit. My wallet is not up too it 😢😂😂
Piggy Piggy. Thanks Phil. Winding down from making Christmas ornaments all evening. Had a couple of cold beers watching Piggy Piggy come to life. I hope you are feeling better. I hope I see you next week. Be good.
I love the fact that you test for how the wood feels to your fingers - that you are so sensitive to the smoothness of the wood. That’s what drew me to woodworking in the first place. I also like that you point out faces or images in the wood.
Thank you so much, Susannah! 😊
Always a pleasure to watch one of Phil’s videos. 👍👍
😊
Thanks for making my day Phil I was bored watching regular TV. 😀
Any time! 😊
Phil, I like how you think outside the box! A beautiful piece of imagination.
Thanks, Paige! 😊
I love your gentle humour and considerate explanations of what you’re doing. Piggy and Princess Leigha- your so lovely and funny.
Thank you so much! 😊
We love how you explain every step and how you walk us through your thought process!! Thank you for sharing!!!
And I love that you watch so, win, win! 😊
Magical. Not ugly at all. I enjoy these videos.
😊
Nice job Phil! You’ve given me the solution to a knobbly piece of wood I have had stored for a couple of years. Keep these wonder videos coming.
Thanks for your efforts.
Cool, have fun with it! 😊
What a combination of vision, skill and patience that is an example to we lesser folk to encourage us to think outside convention! Thank you for the inspiration.
"Lesser folk" Hardly, Owen!! 😊
Colors of the wood are beautiful! Deer approved!
😊
Any day when we are visited by deer, is a good day! Thanks for sharing the yarn!!
Indeed! Thanks, Roy! 😊
I just love your imagination! I definitely can see the piggy. The finish is beautiful and of course the bark is wonderful. You have a great style that I really enjoy.
Thank you so much! 😊
Very cool like it a lot thanks for sharing
I'm glad you like it 😊
You've completely changed my concept of bowl turning, you preserve the bark and shape of the tree as well as the grain and still make a beautiful bowl. You also teach us and share your experience of creating a lovely artistic piece. Thanks!
Best compliment I could receive, Tim! 😊
And this is why I love this channel! I'm so glad you enjoy it too.
I alway say with every new bowl you make thats my new favorite. This is my new favorite thanks for sharing 👍.
😊
Great turning. Love it. When you are turning and speak on the viewers behalf its like you are a mind reader. The Great and all powerful Phil. Thanks.
Haha, I can hear you guys quite well, Ken! 😊
excellent organic turning making the most of natures work. Brill
😊
Phil,
YOU ROCK!!!
Keep the aspidistra flying!
God bless,
Paul
Flying and flying, Paul! 😊
A Pleasure as always. Unique and beautiful another success. I find your path to the birth of a new peace to be as interesting as the turning its self.
How wonderful, thanks, George! 😊
Beautiful Piece Phil, squeal, squeal.
Very nice piece Phil.
Thanks for sharing 👍.
😊
I do see the pig, and Princess Leia's hairdo! I also see a bowl which would be great, and stable, as a mixing bowl. It would also look wonderful filled with shiny red apples. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Ohhh, I love the look of shiny red apples, Stephanie! 😊
Just love that wood, especially the spalting. Love the deer story, you live in a wonderful place Phil. Thanks for sharing. Stay Safe, regards, Jules, Droitwich, England
Thank you, Jules! Yup, lots of wildlife here. I was driving around my driveway the other night and the mom and baby were lying down in the woods, just off the driveway.

Phil another wonderful wood turning. Thanks again for your time and sharing with your UA-cam family
😊
Wow, Tuffy's sanders really cleaned the inside right up
I was impressed! 😊
I love it. A bit like an elephant's foot, very much nature, Beautiful.
Carsten
Thank you very much, Carsten! Everyone is saying elephant so maybe I should re-title this video. 😊
You are so blessed to have mama doe and baby stop by to check on you. How exciting. There are people in our world who have never seen wildlife except in the zoo and you have them literally on you doorstep.
Yes, lots of critters around here at Shady Acres, Betsy and I appreciate every one of them! 😊
I enjoy how you see the beauty in natures work, and help me see it too. Nice job Phil. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
A great work of art. Thanks
Looking forward to another master piece
😊
I like the way you see beauty in pieces that others might not.
So nice, thank you! 😊
Absolutely beautiful just love watching your creations , thank you your video's are so entertaining and instructional.
Glad you like them, Chris, thanks for watching!! 😄

Thank you so much, Rick! 😊
Phil! The buckeye Piggy bowl is perfect! Thanks for sharing your sanding tips and tricks. Blessings for continued healing, Phil! 🙏🏻❣️
Thanks a lot, Danella! 😊
Lovely to hear you well Phil. Beautiful work x
😊
Amazing how you transform the oddest chunks of wood into pieces of art.
Thank you, Dave! 😊
I really enjoy watching you turn stuff that I would never rescue from the burn pile
Thanks, Steven! 😊
That Tuffy is such a card.
😊
Definitely looks like a piggy Phill. Beautiful natural bowl.
Thank you for the elephant's foot bowl. Beautiful.
😊
I love pigs and love your piggy bowl with the spalting. I wish I had your eye for leaving more natural features instead of turning them away. I’m learning slowly, so thank you!
It's a hard lesson to learn, Brenda. Knowing when to stop is a learned skill. Just stop often, take the time to look it over, think through the "what ifs." 😊
Wow 🤩 what a result Phil. Your wood turning is unique and the best ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
😊
Wow, the shine on the bark is really cool, give praise to the sand-o-flex. Would love one. Great piece phil as always.
😊

Great details in the grain, the dark lines really keep it interesting.
😊
Always a pleasure to watch you.
😊
Love your imagination, your patience and dedication, thanks for let us enjoy it!
My pleasure! 😊
I like the pale yellow/creamy color of the wood. The light black lines running throughout the bowl remind me of an antiqued map inside!
Yes, Robin, I see the map! 😊
Genius Phil. I thought you should keep turning but, no. Wonderful piece. As usual. Thanks for your inspiration
😊
Tuffy is such a good mate and has our thanks for his support of giving you weird and wonderful wood to turn❤❤❤ even if you are rolling your eyes off camera when you see his latest gift 😂
Haha, you've been peeking at me, Jay! 😊
So much to be learned from this one Phil. So much to appreciate. Thanks again and again and again. I think I'll just send you all my unturned wood and watch you work your magic on it!
NOOO, work your own magic, Tom! You got this! 😊

Another work of art! Beautiful!
Thank you, Audie! 😊 Cheers!
Very nice bowl. Beautiful grain in this one. Thank you
😊
You have a fantastic imagination. I enjoy that.
Thank you very much! 😊
You and your great videos are the reason we are building a shop and ordering a Record Power Envoy lathe.
Thanks Phil, I think! Lol
Wow, how cool is that!! Enjoy your new hobby and thanks for watching and commenting, Wayne! 😊
I enjoy the way you preserve as much as the blank as you can to highlight the natural beauty of the piece!
😊
Again a beautiful peace of woodart. Greetings from also rainy Hoorn, Holland
No rain here, today! Sunny but chilly. Thank you for watching! 😊
Your vision of what a piece of wood or limby log can become amazes me every time. Love this piece and thanks again for your time and sharing your wonderful skills. Take care sir.
😊
Fantastic. Lots of work bur well worth it. Thanks for sharing.
😊
Oh Phil, we know you're nuts, that's why we love you! I love the piece.

Awesome turning Mr. Phil it looks amazing.
😊
No judgment here, Phil. I trust your process!
😊
WOW WOW AND WOW Phil that turned out great. weldone.
😊
I love it Phil, I see the pig connection and all the beautiful features - also looks a bit like an elephants foot! All the best Phil, hope you're keeping ok!
😊
Another great result, Phil. If I was a turner, I would return it to the firewood bin. You know better!
Haha, Richard! You are right, I do know better. If you have a lathe, there is no such thing as firewood! 😃
Just love and appreciate your explanations and insights into your work. Between you and Gary you guys are the best on utube.
😊
Fantastic piece phil 👏 full of character,nice encounter with the deer
😊
Very nice Phil! I miss turning I hurt my back about a month ago and still recouping. Love watching you!
😊
Another amazing work of Art by the master!!
😊
I think it turned out absolutely awesome, great work Phil. Every time I watch your videos I learn something to make me better at turning.
I'm so glad, Stan, thank you for watching! 😊
A wonderful piece from an ugly log. Thanks for sharing Phil.
😊
As always another stunning piece! Thanks for sharing Phil. Take care 🥰
Thank you for spending time with me, Leticia! 😊
I see the piggy, I can see an elephant foot too, or an extreme up close picture of an elephant. That is the wonderful thing about art, it is all subjective, each person will see something different. It is beautiful Phil, thank you so much for sharing.
My granddaughter said elephant, too, Tiffany! 😊
🐷 very nice! Enjoyed it Phil!! I love pigs..
😊
That is very nice Phil. Again love the nature of it.
😊
Here I am turning a bunch of coffee scoops which is complete child's play to what you did here! As always a nice job Phil!
Not to me, David! Coffee scoops would intimidate me! 😊
Great Artwork Phil as always. If you only knew how much inspiration you and other wood turners have had on me and my own turning work, and I'm sure others. Happy turning my friend ☺️.
Good to know, Edward, thank you! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop 😊😊😊😊
I love watching you create these works of art. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you very much! 😊
Love this. I worried about pitting, chainsaw marks and flaws in the wood and I’ve learned as you said once,”that is part of the wood’s story”. Thanks for helping new turners learn!
All those marks just make the piece unique, interesting and so much more enjoyable to handle, Thomas. 😊
Looks good Phil! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching 😊
The bark really adds to this piece. So much going on! So interesting.
😊
Great turning Phil lots of character well done
😊
Very imaginative bowl. The inside reminds me of an old map. I see the pig and the princess. Piggy also resembles Quasimodo with his one droopy eye.
Thank you, Karen! 😊
A lovely bit of wood turning their I broke my phones I have only got my contacts back now I can keep an eye on you now feel last time I spoke to you you wasn't now hope you're feeling well now mate I love watching your work you are an inspiration to everyone thank you mate
Wow
Thanks a lot, Darren! 😊
Another great piece. Way to go. Buckeye is pretty soft in general. You well to tame it as much as you did.
The softness surprised me, Doug! 😊
Very interesting piece of wood. Sometimes trees have the strangest lives, and this one looks to have survived a lot of pruning in its younger days, and it walled off a bunch of dead branches and incorporated them. I like the fine lines of spalting and the dark areas that just float in the lighter wood, very beautiful.
It's fun to discover the life these trees have lived and you've described it beautifully, William! 😊
Masterful job, Phil with that soft stuff!
We use that wood for bowdrill hearth boards for firebuilding.
“It’s just the wood”!
Made a nice piggy from that piece of wood from CARL!👍👍👌👌👏👏
😊
I wasn’t really sure where you were going with this piece. I couldn’t see what you saw. Boy! What a diamond in the rough. Gives me something to think about when I come across a chunk of wood that the fire wood guys even pass up. Thanks Phill, great video!!!
😊
Beautiful as always ❤️ I love things that are totally abnorma,l unique I think they come out the best when there's imperfections
Agreed, Sherry! 😊
Another great looking piece Phil. I got a good giggle from the sad eye piggy. Take care and have a good one.
😊
Not sure I have the courage to turn buckeye but glad you did!
😊
As always … fantastic Phil 😃
Thanks, Kelly! 😃
Good job Phil very unusual piece love the pig 👍
Thanks, Jeff! 😃
Never disappointed! Sometimes less is more. I'm happy you left most of the bark on, it shows such character. Thanks for your hard work, I really enjoy watching you.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching, Carolyn! 😊
It’s the time you take to sand and finish that makes this a piece of art. Grand job. The Simon hope wood turners shop is only 50 miles from mine and I have been resisting the urge to visit. My wallet is not up too it 😢😂😂
😊
Every bowl you do as character Phil keep up the good work can't wait to see next week's video lol well done 👍
😊
A beautiful natural turning Phil. Loved hearing about your visitor too. 🦌 Keep on keeping on 😊
😊
Piggy Piggy. Thanks Phil. Winding down from making Christmas ornaments all evening. Had a couple of cold beers watching Piggy Piggy come to life. I hope you are feeling better. I hope I see you next week. Be good.
Sounds great! 😊
Another great piece. I get inspired more by every piece you turn. Thank you for the videos.
Awesome! Thank you! 😊
Without a doubt my favorite wood turning channel!! This is exactly my style, I learn so much from you Sir. Thank you!
Wow, thank you! 😊
You are a mater visionary, Phil. You can see what the wood holds to be brought out. Well done. As always, thoroughly enjoyed.
😊
