Roots and Rocks, OH MY! - Wood Turning
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лип 2021
- First time turning Glossy Buckthorn. This is a root ball and had all manner of rocks, dirt and sand in it. Lots of digging around with a screwdriver to remove much of it and lots of sharpening of chisels due to the sand. I did have to use a carbide tool for some of the work but it was worth it. I was not disappointed! The piece turned out to have beautiful grain and color. Finished in shellac.

Don't know if anyone has said before, but with your soothing voice and positive attitude, your the Bob Ross of wood turning. We love watching your videos. Sends a peaceful positive vibe into our home.
Thanks for the compliment, Keith! Yes, I have heard that before. 😊
Couldn't agree more!
I agree, those fluffy little roots...and every bowl needs a friend..
You ole Goat, don’t you know it’s us who are thankful for you. We get up every Thursday waiting with anticipation for the “Dr. Phil Show”. This video was no disappointment for I love the way you first examine the patient for best diagnosis then you proceed with the surgery keeping us informed all the way through. I loved the panoramic view(just briefly) of you standing at the lathe. You actually do have legs. You looked good at the operating table Doctor. I never heard of this wood but you sure have a keeper-just beautiful! Thanks and stay safe.
Your words bring a smile to my face this Friday morning, Kid. Thank you so much for that! 😊
You are the star of the show. Your turnings are great, but it is how you talk to us and explain everything you. You talk to us like we are real good friends and you have such a great personatily you make us want to see more. God bless you, and many more videos. Wish I could be there.
Awesome, thank you, Earl! 😊
I am a one year turner totally enjoying learning about turning. I can't fathom not having you tube and a couple of turners including you to teach me the ins and outs of turning. I started out doing chain saw carving and then went into sign and wood art carvings, epoxy work but now spend a couple of hours a day watching you tube learning and practicing turning. It is incredible that a person can use a resource like You Tube and professional wood turners to fill my day and make retirement throughly enjoyable. Thanks Phil for your channel.
This is wonderful to read, Doyle! That is exactly how I learned to turn, too. I watched hundreds of hours of video interspersed with going to the shop to try what I had learned. It took awhile and I had tons of huge catches but, eventually, my learning took hold. 😊
Phil, excellent as always. Asked my wife to sit down and watch one of your videos and she finallly agreed. She thinks your talking and teaching are good and she was very impressed with your work!!
Thank you for this! It warms my heart to know a couple watch together. 😊
A rare shot of Phil in his natural habitat😜
and he cleaned up his shop
Not a chance, Steve. Just that most of the mess is behind the camera! LOL!
😊
Yeah, we’re gunna get David Attenborough to do a documentary on him…
And the ugly duckling becomes the beautiful swan! What you see in those hunks of wood is what makes me watch. Always amazing!
Cool, thanks, L G!
I finally found someone the loves beautiful wood as much as I do. One of God’s hidden treasures to us all. You just got to dig for it. Enjoy watching you dig. LOL
I'm glad, Steve, thank you! 😊
Oh Phil I look forward to every video! My week isn't complete without Good afternoon good evening Howdy! And seeing your stunningly beautiful creations!!
Good to know, Jane, thank you! 😊
Buckthorn is an invader from across the see. Its from merry old England. Its called buckthorn because all the branch tips look like forked antlers. Its really hard to get rid of once it starts spreading in an area, and it grows like the dickens, as some say. Its very hardy and has an advantage over native trees, it stays green longer in the fall, and starts going early in the spring. Most people think its an ugly tree for some reason, probably because it sheds bark and makes a lot of branches. But inside, it is always full of color and crazy grain, sometimes amazingly so. I think it makes the best walking sticks, because of all the gnarly growths and wiggles. That was fun to watch and turned out awesome, Phil.
Thanks for all the info, William! 😊
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
Oh WOW!!! Now that’s what I call “a silk purse from a sows ear”. Really, a stunning piece. 👍
Cool, thank you, Cindy! 😊
'Isn't that just beautiful?' says Phil. It sure is - really beautiful. Love it.
Cool, thanks, David! 😊
Oh my! What a lovely piece. One of these days someone is gonna send you a dried cow pie and I’ll bet you would even turn that into a jewel! As always, thank you. Thank you for the emotion, thank you for the visit, and thank you for continuing to inspire!
Thank you, Daryl!
Ha Phil you take on some challenging turns. I look forward to your videos. I really like you explaining your thoughts and processes. Awesome turn.
Awesome, thank you!
Well, this was a new one for me because I had not discovered you at the time you preformed your magic on this piece of wood!
Over and over I love what you do!!

Thank you, Colleen! 😊
That root rocks, Phil. I didn't know wood could plume. It's always a pure pleasure to watch you work and listen to you too. Thank you to Chris for sending and to you for sharing and see you soon.
😊
Keep turning, keeps your mind and body active.
That is what I do.
True enough, Jules! 😊
Found you a few weeks back and have been making my way through the videos. I enjoy every piece. The videos are great also. Thank you and take care.
Thank you so much and welcome! 😊
Thank you Phil! We all love you and your beautiful work. We are thankful you get out of bed every day! You are so so appreciated and bring so much joy!
So kind, thank you! 😊
I really liked the wider camera view at the start of this one x
😊
Phil I'm always surprised how you take a chunk of wood and turn it into a beautiful piece of art. I like that you explain what you are doing . Thank you for sharing this with your fans.
😊
Thanks to Mr. Brown for that piece. Kind of you to say those nice things about us.. the ones on the other side of your camera..I think the same way about the effort and time you spend making the video’s. Ponder this, if we didn’t love you and your projects, would we make the effort to get a chunk of wood to you? I think knot. Sorry, couldn’t stop myself 😁
Thank you kindly, Bob! 😊
Yep, another wonderful Thursday Phil! Beautiful bowl. Cannot wait until next Thursday!
I wish we could meet more often, Billy! 😊
I was holding my breath for that little piece and then you found a rock under it. You amazed me how patient you were with the root ball. Nothing seemed to faze you - not sand, dirt, loose piece, multiple rocks. And then a beautiful work of art appeared. Thank you. 👍🏻😃🙏
We knew it was in there, didn't we, Michele! 😊
Beautiful turning, Phil. Thank you for sharing great videos. I’m glad you were able to save that loose wing. It really enhances the bowl.
😊
Phil, like you I enjoy turning odd pieces of wood. Roots , driftwood etc. I always ask myself before I start “what would Phil do” as far as mounting . I try to emulate your vision. Thanks Phil. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, K 2! 😊
I’ll never look at a root ball the same again. You do such great work, you’re a true inspiration. Keep on turning.
😊
I thought Glossy Buckthorn was a country singer! Imagine my surprise to find out he’s a beautiful bowl. Great work as always 👍👍
lol
😆👍 it should be!
LOL! 😊
No, no, no. Any Brit knows it's a real ale.
Or an exotic dancer? :)
Gorgeous piece!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍❤️
😊
I don’t turn but I love watching you do it. Thanks for another great one.
😊
Re-watching some of your older turnings. Loving them as always. Hope you are keeping well. We are still here waiting for your return. Xxx🥰
I appreciate that very much, Mandy! I think I will have a new turning video next week. 😊
I think thats the first time I have seen your shop! Nice place Phil. Another beautiful bowl. You have the patience of Job. I cant ever take my time and just let the piece happen the way you do, but keep providing such a good example and I may learn in time. Oh and thank you Chris for sending such a cool piece to him.
That's what retirement brings, Jason, time. 😊
Me, too. First time to see Phil's shop.
Thank You Phil, Thank You Chris Brown from New York...Very interesting turning 2 say the least. Glossy Buckthorn is a mystery to me (U lucky dude, Phil). Quite the adventure you gave us Phil. Rocks, sand, more cavities than my last dental exam!!!! The inside has a nice face with a jutting jaw, Popeye grin & 2 eyes (or is it just me, ha).....TM
Yeah, there's a couple faces in there, Tuffy, not just you! I didn't see them at the time but just went and looked and sure enough! Also, I didn't notice the clear face on the outside before I turned it. You can see it in the thumbnail for this video. On the right hand side. Kind of looks like Flash Gordon or maybe a hood ornament from the 40's. Always something to see in these great, oddball pieces I'm sent by my very generous viewers! But, you know a little something about that, yourself! 😊
We all appreciate you Phil
Thank you, Art!
The colors and grain are just beautiful. I love this bowl. It came great!
😊
". . . it's gonna be something, maybe firewood. . . " Ha, ha, ha.
LOL!
Good evening, Phil. I can see your story, I can hear your story, I can feel your story. Stay the course. Your wood turning channel brings joy and learning to many. I feel like I'm in the shop watching and helping with the design/shape etc. Looking forward to next week.
Thank you, Ray! I feel like you're right there with me, too! 😊
Semper fi marine oorah
Another triumph, Phil you set the standard.
😊
You narrate what you're planning and why so well. Thank you, enjoyable to watch.
So nice of you, Jessi, thank you! 😊
A new view. I was not expecting that.
😊
Phil always manages to create beautiful works of art !
😊
nature has no boundaries. You open the minds of mere mortals to think out of the box
Thank you, Garry! 😊
Dr Phil, howdy! Another beautiful bowl in spectacular wood. ♥️🇺🇲
What a stunning piece of wood well explained and as always well turned you really help us newbys to understand thanks phill
Glad you enjoyed it, Paul, thank you! 😊
OH MY! is right Phil! That one was almost impossible to see anything that pretty coming out of it. But it sure did. Looked like there was going to be trouble with that loose section but sure glad it hung in there because it really did make the piece. Hang on for a second I think I am going to get that root ball my son gave me and put it on the burn pile! LOL
Ok I am back...and I left it there and one of these days I will turn it. I have turned pieces of it and they were as hard as a rock. Same Camelia you turned into a beautiful one winged bowl.
Another great piece pulled out of the ground and made it to beauty my friend!
Gary
The cool part, Gary, is this piece was a little wet. Now that it's been in the house awhile, it has shrunk up a bit and that piece has pulled tightly against the little gap and it won't move, at all! Sometimes things just work out! 😊
Thanks, buddy, it was fun!
Glossy Buckthorn is an invasive plant in the Great Lakes region. You have turned that root ball into a beautiful bowl. Bravo!
😊
I sure love what you made from this rough and chunky root ball. It's so satisfying to watch you work and speak so kindly and patiently to us viewers. ♥ The appreciation is mutual.
Thank you very much, Lili! 😊
Cool bowl Phil 👍
Thanks a lot, Andy!
This is Sunday night and most people have a ritual of watching TV, Mine is to watch SHADY ACRES FARMS Videos ( Better known a the Phil Anderson Macic Show). As far as I am concerned you are the best Teacher of Woodturning today. You are not afraid to tackle even the hardest to turn projects and end up with marvelous results (as usual) I have learned SO much from your videos. When I watch you, I am also watching what tool you are , and why you are using it. Properly grounding the tool. finding the bevel before engaging the wood. Listening what the wood or tool is telling you. They DO talk to you. Just listen to it. I sure love to meet and talk to you some day. ❤ KEEP ON TURNING
Thank you so much, Howard! I'm very happy that you spend so much of your time with me. It means a lot! 😃
Turn the camera off and clear my eyes up ...
This is why I've subscribed to your channel and watch your videos every week. I'm not even a wood turner.
You are too kind, Rahman, thank you! 😊
Hi, love the videos
That so true
Your turning skills are amazing
@@maryjanehovis9840 Thank you very much, Mary Jane! 😊
Beautiful wood, beautiful work, can't wait till next week! Thanks Phil
😊
Well after drying your eyes, you've turned another cracking piece, sand and stones have no affect on Mr Anderson, big thumbs up.
LOL! Thank you, Gary! 😊
This piece is outstanding Phil, beautiful colour and unusual grain with the burl looking sections and so glad that top piece stayed on. I’m certain that your entire audience is very grateful for you putting these video’s together.
All the best to you.
Regards Jim
Thank you very much, Jim! 😊
Another beautiful piece. Love the colors. I too would have liked to see the wall thinner, but it definitely does not take away from the esthetics of the piece.
😊
Once again, the wood 'has spoken'. Another beauty, Uncle Phil ❣️👍
😊
Liked the new panoramic view Phil feels like watching you in person 👍😃
Haha, thank you, Mike! 😊
Beautiful job! Had never heard of Glossy Buckthorn before, really cool.
😊
Love this piece Phil well done mate ... Cheers Glenn from Sydney AUS..
😊
Your videos are so relaxing and enjoyable, and as my wife says "You're so wholesome"
Wonderful, thank you! 😊
I think the inside is more beautiful than the outside!
I agree with you, David! 😊
Thank you, Phil! Another masterful job with a beautiful result "for all to enjoy"! I'm still trying to master the Phil Cutoff (sometimes successful, other times not so much).
I'm still trying to master it, too, Peter. I'm about to go to the shop to remove a tenon that I just know is going to give me major trouble! LOL!
I don’t know how you kept that piece intact with that huge hole in it. It’s just gorgeous. Well done!❤️
A wing and a prayer sometimes are enough, Lynne! 😊
You make the prettiest pieces out of
Out of wood that look so impossible to
Turn💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I'm so glad you think so, thank you! 😊
Thank you Phil. For making relaxing and informative videos.
😊
Good idea to not “stand in line”. Was turning a HUGE piece of pine: as I moved to get a different tool, it flew majestically through the space I vacated. One of the best rules I learned from a good turner: “never chuck up a piece of wood you aren’t willing to eat”.
If that were the case, I wouldn't have anything to turn, Samuel! LOL!
Perhaps I missed it, but this is the first time we saw your shop in the background. Looks good. This stump was gnarly. I turn stump wood too. It has some of the best figure and features I've found. Nice work. I watch a lot of your videos. What do you do with your finished bowls? I sell some of mine on Ebay.
Thank you! I'd like to sell some of my work but just don't have time for packing and shipping. They are just spread all over the house! 😊
Root, Root. Root for the Buckthorn!
Another successful bowl discovery, Phil. Well done!
Thank you, Crystal! 😊
Phil your tenacity has no bounds , turned out Great well done 👏👏👏👏👏
😊
You don't like using a carbide bit, I've noticed. You made the comment that "it is not as much fun to watch". Actually, I find it just as much fun to watch as your regular tools.
I have to laugh at the way you end your videos. Up to that point you sound so happy and enthusiastic, and then you sound so depressed when you say "signing off". LOL
Haha, I think by the time I'm signing off, Katrina, I'm all out of energy! 😊
Rite back Arya you have the best videos on the internet. By far
Thank you, Ron! 😊
Who would think to turn a bowl from a dirt filled root? Looks amazing!! So much color.
😊
I always enjoy watching your videos Phil & seeing the way you let the nature be the star of each piece. This is another stunning example of that artistry. ⭐️🪵😊
Thank you, Rosie! 😊
Another wonderful piece. I believe we all appreciate you. I watch for your video every week. Thank you.
Wow, thank you 😊
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 67 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 🖤🖤🖤.....
😊
they dont always have to be thin to win you inspire me i have been turning for over 40 years so kudos
Great to know, Dennis, thank you!
Phil I do watch every video I can find of you and the other turners.
And you are highly appreciated for that, Kobie! 😊
Hi Phil ive been watching for a couple of months and I can honestly say that I have loved everything you have done with the exception of a very small pot with a handle that you finished in a black paint .Some of thr live edged bowls have been amazing .I love to watch your videos you never fail to make me laugh thank you for cheering up my nights ,never lose that sense of humour
I appreciate the time you have spent with me, thank you very much! 😊
What an interesting shape! Wow! You hit it out of the ball park with this one Phil.
😊
Its always fun to watch you turn the wildest pieces of wood into a bowl. Great job Phil.
Thank you so much, Suzette! 😊
Beautiful color and beautiful grain, and all the way from N.Y.! Well worth the time and skill invested.
Thank you, Valerie! I just love the varieties we all get to see due to my very generous viewers, like you! 😊
From an ugly duckling 🦆 to a beautiful swan 🦢… Glad it stayed together for you 👍
😊
I like that you stop it so we can see the progression 😀
😊
Spectacular work, my friend. I’ve been sitting in my local hospital for almost a week waiting for a surgery date when I realized that I could be watching some of my favourite turners using my iPhone and Bluetooth headphones. My bride brought my headphones and phone over and I just spent an enjoyable 31:25 watching you turn this gorgeous bowl. Thanks for sharing, buddy! You sure come through when you’re needed. Have a great weekend, my friend.
Happy turning,
…..Gord
I don't know what's going on with you, Gord, but I'm sending my best wishes to you.
Bill
@@williamellis8993 Thank you, Bill. Much appreciated, my friend. Stay well.
Oh, no, Gord! I'm so sorry you are in need of the hospital. I certainly hope all is well, soon. Please know I'm thinking only positive thoughts, my friend. Be well.
Phil
Thank you, Phil.
Take care,
……Gord
what a nice man you are. We appreciate you too.
Thank you so much, Robyn! 😊
Very nice Phil. Keep these videos coming for all us out here.
😊
A pleasure as always Phil beautiful piece. 😄
😊
Well Phil, you had me welling up there...
😃
Yes, walls that thick.
Beautiful. Man
Thanks, Laurie! 😊
Once again you have a great eye to see the shape to fruition. Dirt , sand rocks and all. Happy turning Phil 😊🙃😄. Thanks again for the helpful lessons. PS. stay safe out there from the heat and flames.
So far we have been very lucky in this area. My son lives in Montana and they are getting all the smoke from our fires. Nice and clear where I am in Western Washington. 😊
Every time I think you get the gnarliest piece I have ever seen, you pull out one that surprises me and every time you turn it into something fabulous. Great work once again!
Wow, thank you! 😊
I had to watch this one again. Stunning spectacular, beautiful.
Wow, thank you, George! 😄
Phil, I learn something from every video! Thank you!
Me too, Michael! 😊
That's a great looking piece Phil glad nothing flew off of it 👍👍
😊
WOW Phil, it turned out great. All of the. Inclusions and the grain are absolutely beautiful.
😊
You are a pleasure to watch Phil .
Thank you so much! 😊
Really nice, Phil! I KNEW you'd save that limb...and for me, it makes the piece. The bowl is pretty and very bold but then you see that limb...hanging on for dear life and it softens the bowl. The bowl says, "I'm not so bold, look what I'm holding onto by a 1/4 inch!" You amaze and you're also one of, if not the, nicest and most enjoyable turner on UA-cam. You're definitely appreciated, my friend.
You are so kind, Max, thank you! 😊
Since I live in the woods I have access to a plethora of wood and you are the master of turning weird wood. I'm hoping I can learn just a fraction of what you know about turning!👍👌
Go for it, James! I too, live in the woods but don 't have any cool trees around, mostly just Fir. 😊
Another winner Phil...your like Captain Kirk...you go where no man has gone before...or Buzz Lightyear to infinity and beyond 😀
stay safe...press on buddy 😎 Joe
LOL! Thank you for the smiles!
Great looking piece, save the rocks and display with them inside 👍👍
That's the plan! 😊
You are teaching us so many tips and tricks.
I have a buckthorn on my fence line. Can't wait to cut it up.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 🙏
You are so welcome, Laurie, thanks for your comment! 😊
