- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- One of my favorite things to do is turn a piece of wood that means something to someone. In this case, this was the root ball of a tree that Tuffy Marginez grew up with in his backyard. Finished in shellac.

Thank You Phil... I have not seen that old stump for some time. Brings back memories. For some reason night critters (Racoons?) enjoyed chewing on the trunk which slowly killed it. TONS-OF-FUN slowly watching you turn something I can personally relate to. I am a bit late posting cause I keep re-winding and taking my time. I personally planted that tree when I was younger & still running marathons, wow (my good ole' days?).Thank You Phil and I will be looking forward to all your future turning adventures..... TM
I had an old apple tree I played in for years. Hearing your story made me think of my tree. Thank you for sharing it!
❤❤❤❤
Cool, I didn't know you planted it, too! Did it hurt your feelings to have to dig it up? It would have mine, I think. Well, at least you have revenge on those Racoons! 😀
Tuffy, you have a beautiful bowl to remember that old tree. Phil is a true master! ❤
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop No it didn't hurt my feelings. It was dead and it was going to travel up north for it's second chance at life from your lathe. At the time I had zero idea it would ever make it's way back home again thanks to you Phil....TM
Phil I’m surprised that you think that this masterpiece is ugly. It’s gorgeous! The shape is perfect and the grain and live edge are beautiful. Im sure Tuffy will be proud to display it. Root-balls are always amazing as is your work.
Thank you, Susanne! 😊
The grain and figure in this piece really are quite nice. The shape was dictated by the tree and has some interesting features throughout. Very cool story to go with the piece; it's neat that Tuffy will have this as a memory of the tree in the back yard.
Thanks a lot, Mark! 😊
Not ugly at all. A beautiful piece of craftsmanship and art. Thank you Phil.
😊
It is definitely different. It will be a great conversation piece. The more I look at it, the more I like it.
Thank you, Jean! 😊
Phil, you are allowed to think it’s ugly if you wish. I, on the other hand, think it’s beautiful. Tuffy is lucky to have such a master turner for a friend. I enjoyed watching this very much! Thanks for sharing! 😃😃
Take care,
…..Gord
Thank you very much, Gord! He has it and says he likes it so, that's a good thing! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, buddy! Thanks for spending some time with me! 😊
What a beautiful gift, Phil! Before you began turning the root ball on your lathe, I thought it looked like an elephant…don’t ask…🙄. We loved watching you (as always!) ‘turn’ it into the gem that it is and agreed with you when you thought the finished piece looked like a mushroom cap. Tuffy - you are a lucky guy!
Wow, thank you, Michael! 😊
I’m glad you didn’t change what is piece is. It still has its “roots” 😀. The finish is beautiful. This is a nice bowl. I hope it makes its way to the back to the boy who grew up with it.
Thanks for the show.
Joel
He had it in his possession a couple hours before the video went live. I asked him to wait to open it until he watched the video and he did! 😊
I spotted an owl sitting on a limb at the bottem! Great piece of art again. I've seen wood on a tree bowl shaped like this but haven't found one to turn. At least now I've seen a result, thank you.
Thank you, Brad! 😊
What a good looking piece! I grew up in Ulster county NY and my back yard was a apple orchard. I never knew the wood was so beautiful. You did it justice. Tuffy, I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you, kindly! 😊 Apples aren't just good to eat!
Nice to see not only FROM Tuffy, but FOR Tuffy. Amazing what you turn out. It was cool how the tree looked like it melted into the root area.
Thank you! 😊
Thank you Phil and tuffy. A truly unique piece Phil. I don’t think there was too much more you could have done with this.
Your finish is as usual fantastic..
Many thanks, Greg! 😊
Phil- That is not an ugly bowl. It's a beautiful piece of craftmanship my friend. I totally enjoyed the journey. Thank you!!
Thank you, John, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
A very interesting creation, Phil. The grain is gorgeous and the finish, smooth. Thank you, Phil. Thank you, Tuffy.
Many thanks! 😊
Excellent work Phil, as always! A “Punky” that was a “Tuffy” for Tuffy💯🎯 Work of art🏆 Mr. Kris
Thank you so much 😀
Not ugly. It has character! Nice grain inside and out. It's hard to go wrong with fruit wood.
😊
Phil I love it! It reminds me of a loaf of bread that swelled out of the pan then collapsed in the middle. It's a beautiful piece of work.
Yes, very much like that, Tom! Thanks! 😀
Not ugly at all Phil. It has so much personality!
Personality, yeah, that's the ticket! 😊
How amazing for Tuffy to always be able to look at this and bring back memories, I think it is really nice, lots of interesting features, another great turning.
All the best to you.
Regards Jim
Thank you, Jim! 😊
So nice to have a bowl from your own tree! We lost our 120-year old pin oak a couple years ago, and a friend turned some bowls for us out of pieces we saved. He did a set of three live-edge nesting bowls, two more live-edge with a bit of dark resin (that tree was really far gone), and one “standard” bowl. We’re so grateful to have those beautiful bowls made from our tree. Losing the tree was heartbreaking, but it was so rotten there was no saving it. I don’t know Tuffy, but if he enjoys his applewood bowl half as much as we love our pin oak bowls, you’ve done a great service to your friend.
ps … ugly? Ummm … no. It’s different from what you usually do, and a bit bulbous, but gosh … it’s beautiful!
Lovely story, Tara. Those are my favorite turnings, too! Thank you! 😊
Im sure he will love this fine artwork of nature.
He says he does so, Win! 😊
Looks like a loaf of homemade bread with the center eaten out! Yum!
That sounds better than it looks! Pass the butter, please! 😀
It’s not ugly, just a little chunky! It’s beautiful! Tuffy will love it! Thanks Phil!
He does! Thank you, Brenda! 😊
I don't think it's ugly. I like you honored Tuffy.
To me, it looks like a bowl made out of a mushroom. 😉 It's unique and fun.😊
That's a good way to put it, Sunshine, thanks! 😊
That root ball was, no doubt, the point at which the rootless apple tree was originally grafted onto the more robust "host" root system. Another fine job, Phil.
😊
It's pretty because it's so different looking!!! I think you did a wonderful job turning it. At first I couldn't imagine what you would do with it. You came through as always. Take care and have a great weekend. 🥰
Thank you very much, Mary, you too! 😀
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder , that bowl is a work of art !! 😎🪵
Thank you, Clarence! 😊
Phil, you are a true master! What a beautiful bowl from a knarly root ball. ❤❤❤❤ and I enjoyed watching you and Calvin playing with the E bike!
Thank you, Jane! 😊
What a unique piece, I love it! That Tuffy tries to do you in with some of his wood!
But I always win! LOL! Thanks, Alan! 😊
Not ugly! Mushroom with a view! Wouldn’t mind having a bunch of root balls to work with. 😊
Yeah, they can be a lot of fun, Jonny! 😀
It is not ugly, in spite of what you may think! It is a wonder piece of nature. I just wish I could actually reach out and touch it! Thank you for explaining what you are doing as you go along. As always, I learned a lot.👏
Thank you very much and, you are welcome! 😊
Ugly? Never! Nothing wrong with natural rimmed pieces. This is awesome! I greatly admire your respect for the original plantee of that tree. The inside looks like it's made of marble! A truly amazing work. Thank you for taking us through your thoughts and impressions as you went along -- I appreciate that a lot. Great video!😊
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Shelley, thank you! 😀
I love it! It does look like a mushroom from the side. I also think it looks like a fresh, hot, buttery, dinner roll with it's center pinched out. That's how I always ate my grannies, delicious rolls! 😋
Ummm, buttery dinner rolls. It's been sooo long. Now you've made me hungry, Kristi! 😊
Not bad, it does have character and is not ugly. Beautiful.
😊
This bowl is not ugly! It just has lots of character!😂
Haha, you are such a diplomat, Stephanie! 😊
Not ugly at all. It's very cool to think that Tuffy's apple tree has come full circle from him planting it to this work of art! 👍👏
I like that part too, Ron. Thank you! 😊
Beauty is not limited to symmetry. Beauty is also found in uniqueness and even flaws. You are willing to make a serious effort to work with a piece and let it speak for it's self. I believe you have done exactly that. It is natural beauty shining proudly. If Tuffy doesn't want this piece, I would be delighted to take it off his hands. 💗💖
Thank you so much, Vicki! 😊
Another piece of Phil’s magic!😉❤
Thank you, Marilyn! 😊
It came out great. I kept seeing the spot on the outside when you were spinning it by hand I kept thinking it looks cool and was trying to figure out what it was and then you said you weren't sure what it was. The different grains made it look amazing. Thanks again Phil for sharing with your UA-cam family.
I'm glad you like it, Doug, thank you! 😊
Hey Phil, makes me want to find an apple root ball and have at it. I really like it, sure Tuffy will always treasure it as well. Thanks Phil, see you next week...Dan.
You should! When the neighbor goes on vacation, just dig up his apple tree, get the rootball and replant the tree. He'll never know! 😊
wow you made that apple good enough for any teacher what a beautiful job thanks for the video
Thank you, Debra! 😊
Tuffy's going to love it, it's beautiful Phil
He says he does! Thank you! 😀
Wonderful piece. I love the shape and shine. Lovely grain. Not ugly at all.
😊
The rippled indentation looks like a large grub lived there. Great job 👏
I thought about that but, I think it was there before I started so he only ate on the outside! 😀
That certainly different and trust Phil to make something nice out an ugly root ball, well done Phil and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thank you, Al! 😀
It's not ugly, it's intriguing.
😊
I think it's frickin beautiful! That dang grain is something else! I love it when you turn rootballs ... I really like this one. Good job Phil. 👏
Thank you! 😀
Looks like a big larvae made that spot on the side
So beautiful 😊
😊
Beautiful work, Phil, nice to see what you can make out of a root. Definitely not ugly.
Thank you, Bob! 😊
Another ugly beautiful piece Phil. The colors and grain are gorgeous.
Your turnings are always stunning when complete.
Thanks for sharing Phil.
Thank you, Carl! 😊
That is a beautiful bowl Mr. Anderson! Your finishes are wonderful! I bet Fifty will love it! Great job as always! You are the Master of Wood turning.....
Thank you, Cap! 😀
Beautiful inside grain! Excellent job dealing with the mix of hard and punky wood. 😊
Thank you! 😊
It is not ugly! The natural grain is stunning.
😊
I love your vision for this unique root ball and I love the finished bowl.
Thank you, Deb! 😀
Nope, not ugly...just beautiful! I know Tuffy will enjoy it!!
He says he likes it so, a win for me! 😊
Recognize-a-bowl! I really love the grain inside.
😀
Well done, Phil. I share your uncertainty about the aesthetics of the piece, but the proof of the pudding is that Tuffy appreciates it.
😊
ugly is beautiful Phil. I'd put that on my taonga table any day. Tuffy ought to be honoured.
He says he likes it, John. Thank you! 😊
Thank you Phil, you always turn such amazing pieces❤❤❤
Thank you, Jeanne! 😊
Love the difference grain on the inside and all the incursions on the outside. When you said it looked like a mushroom at that moment I was thinking the same thing.
Cool! Thanks, Russ! 😀
You could name it "Beauty and the Beast" Great job! Amazing what we can see in a piece of wood that some would let decay.
Thank you very much! 😀
Wouldn't say it's ugly. I think you've done a class job on it, definitely put the Phil touch on it. Sure Tuffy will be pleased. All the best from Lincolnshire UK
Thank you, Gary! 😊
It IS beautiful Phil and Tuffy will love it! 😃😃👌👌
He says he does! Thank you! 😊
It was an absolute pleasure to spend a 1/2 hour watching you turn an extremely interesting root ball into a magnificent bowl. There are so many stunning features that you have been able to release for our pleasure. You have a rare feeling for the wood you turn, a deep understanding of your craft & a keen eye. I am sure Tuffy will be absolutely delighted with the wonder you have released from this root ball. Great grain too for the eye to enjoy & with a great finish. Thanks, my friend, for the pleasure you bring to SO MANY people. Stay safe & well, Don from South Aust.
He has it and says he likes it, so that was all I could hope for. Thanks for your great comment, Don! 😊
That would be a beautiful piece of wood to turn. Very nice like always Phil. Thank you for sharing. See you on the next one
😊
That's not ugly Phil, it's beautiful
😀
You out did yourself, Phil! Tell Tuffy I’m going to fight him for that!! 😂
Haha, you'll have to go to his house, Joshua, he already has it! 😊
Not ugly. Stunningly unique.🌾
😊
Phil, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!! I don't see it as ugly, I think it has a raw beauty that Tuffy will appreciate for the rest of his life. You have captured his youth for him and that is worth more than the looks or the financial value of the piece!!
Excellent work as always, Sir!
Thank you, Phil! 😊
Phil it's beautiful! I think Tuffy will love it too.
😊
Phil
Im not a wood turner I have learned so much from you about turning Phil you are an excellent teacher Thank You
Great to hear! Thank you, Howard! 😊
Beautiful Phil, no way could that be called ugly! Just wanted to say thanks for being an amazing inspiration to me over the years. Mike
Thank you, Mike! 😊
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Love your piece.
Thank you! 😀
Not the most beautiful turning but once again a tribute to your vision and talent. Great job.
Thank you so much 😀
I love it. Beautiful and lots of interesting things to look at. When you were using the brush on the inside and talking softly to say right in there and maybe right there, you made me think of Bob Ross.🤗
Interesting, thank you, Nancy! 😊
Phil I think it's definitely not ugly. I love what you did with it!!!! Love the chunkyness shows soooo much great beauty in the wood. You ALWAYS seem to bring out the beauty in the wood. Thanks for another GREAT video Terry
Thank you, Terry! 😊
Nahhhh…not ugly at all….I love it…and I’m sure Tuffy does too…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
He says he does so, yay for me! Thank you, Loraine! 😊
If I were Tuffy, I'd love it. Rootballs are always a surprise. Thanks
He says he does, so, I guess there's no accounting for taste! LOL! Thanks, Garth! 😀
Looks very rustic, I think it is very beautiful. Would be proud to display it in my home.
Thank you, Richard! 😊
Hi Phil, wow that is perfect. you brought the essence out of it perfectly.its nice you cut off the chainsawed bits snd turned it as you did to get to the very heart of what was a naturally occuring in the big chunk of wood.
Thank you, Sangye! You get it! 😊
Hi Phil Grain on the inside is absolutely gorgeous however I am not thrilled with the top. You did want to leave it so Tuffy would recognize it and I believe you
have succeeded. I love the sides and bottom so you have turned out another beauty, I salute you.
Take care Bob
Thank you, Bob! 😊
I’m throwing my vote with “It’s not ugly. It’s beautiful.” Looking down on the bowl it reminds me of a hollowed out baked potato 😂. I’m sure Tuffy will treasure it because it was his tree and his friend made it for him. Another job well done. 👍
Thank you, Lea! 😊
Well, the grain is really nice and it has a lot of character.
I see you are a glass half-full person, Cecilia. I love that, thanks! 😊
Phil.. its not ugly at all. It got its own beauty 😊
OK, thank you, Kim! 😀
I like that a lot, personality of piece allows you to love it in the long run!
Thank you, Crystal! 😀
You whispered and it listened! Not ugly to me! Looks good!
Thanks Phil!!
Thank you, Kelly! 😊
It looks like a python on a bowl! It's a beautiful beast!
😊
I see a Muffin Top Bowl! Well done, Phil.
Thank you, Crystal! 😀
It’s beautiful Phil. Love the shape and the grain. ❤❤
Thank you, Maddie! 😊
Ah what a wonderful thing to do for your old chum. From his comments he sounds proper chuffed. Thoroughly deserved Tuffy for the wood you supply our Phil with for aaallll to enjoy.
Such lovely figure in the bowl too, you can look at it for hours and still see more.
Gorgeous bowl, not ugly at all with all those memories attached to it. A beautiful piece made with such love and care, well done Phil.🤗👍💚
Thank you very kindly, Jude! 😊
Looks great. Now to create something from the offcuts. 😃
Yes, maybe one of them. I was looking them over, Anthony. 😊
It's gorgeous!❤️ Tuffy will love it!😉
He does! 😀
I don’t think it’s ugly at all! That grain inside is incredible
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks, Luie! 😊
I think it's absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊
Thank you, Karen! 😊
lovely rootball! I love the grain pattern in the inside of the bowl...
Thank you very much! 😀
That is an awesome piece. Really enjoy watching you go through how odd lumber can be turned in to great functional pieces. Keep up the amazing work. 👽
I appreciate that, thank you! 😊
When I saw this chunk of wood I just couldn't conceived what kind of bowl was hidden in it!
As usual you brought it out and of course it is wonderful!
It is not ugly by any means!!
Next!!
Thank you, Colleen! 😀
Hi Phil, Lovely bowl and I'm sure it will take pride of place in Tuffy's home.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw
Thanks, Huw! He likes it! 😊
You really took on a challenging piece this week Phil ! But than , you are the master of weird bowls that are created out some pretty ugly pieces ! Great job . I think it's a beautiful bowl as far as I am concerned . It is so natural looking . Thanks for sharing this video and we hope you have a great weekend !
Thank you very much, Jon! 😊
Slow sucks. But root balls are always a surprise if you have the patience. It's beautiful. You have again brought out the natural beauty of the wood. The piece often dictates what it will reveal. I love it! Tuffy seems to as well. Great job!
Along with the bowl, I retrieved the nub and sent that along, too. That's his favorite part! LOL! Thank you, Steve! 😊
