I’m from Oregon, now in Arizona. I make fine furniture and have used lots of that gorgeous wood. It’s Myrtle wood, only found in a very few places in the world. So yes, it’s rare. Great job turning that gnarly chunk of wood.
Here l am again,My son loves wood too,he made a grandfather clock out of barn wood,it’s beautiful, he has huge tree cuts for large tables,made one for his daughter,he will sell the other table tops, Love your work
Love this piece! After my parents retired they booked a trip to California, Washington, Oregon and my Dad brought me a covered desk top box made of Myrtle wood back on the plane. My mom said he held in his lap all the way! That was probably 35 years ago. I cherish that piece dearly. Oh dear. I am tearing up again. 😢
It's absolutely gorgeous - and while I'd love to put it on my table and admire it while deciding what best to put in it... I know one of my cats would climb in
By far the best place to spend my relaxing time. While I do enjoy the more "polished" pieces that most people do, and respect their artistry, your style is my absolute favorite. Hearing you talk about the wood is so interesting. I also really like your calm voice and no "cover music". Thank you so much for sharing your talent and love of your craft.
Hello up there, Elly! I've been to Vancouver a few times, lovely city. Thank you so much for taking your time to spend with me and for your delightful comment! 😊
Wow, what a Beautiful Piece of Driftwood. This bowl is absolutely stunning. It has so much character. Like you mentioned, the one part looks like waves on a beach. Your work turning this wood is such Artistry. What a gift you have. Looking at a piece of wood and making a Gem of beauty. Thank you for sharing.
That's my favorite part of turning, Dan. Finding what's inside some of these pieces. I sure didn't expect to find what I did in this old piece of driftwood! 😊
You know, Phil, this piece of driftwood sort of represents us in a way. No matter what we look like on the outside....... Each person has a hidden beauty within..... Don't you think? In some it could be intelligence, in another person it could be compassion, another would have insight, and still another might have inner strength... Or joy..... Everyone's got something. This little piece of Driftwood of yours could teach us all a lesson. Look at all the beating it's taken as it's washed through the ocean and hammered on the sands of the beach (as we go through life people become that way). And then somebody like you took the time and trouble to find its inner beauty, and then shine it up! It seems to me that we can and should do that with each other.
Wonderful, Judy! I've traveled along that coast a few times but never even thought about driftwood. I'll bet you have a huge assortment to choose from. 😊
I to live on the Oregon coast. Sunset beach is just 9.2 miles away. This video has given me some good ideas what i can do with the driftwood I come across.
Every time I start my lathe, I hear your voice "mask and face shield on!". Yesterday, the little Walnut bowl I was working on exploded, and I'm so glad I had my face shield on! I was almost finished with it....so just a reminder to all you turners out there....obey the Man. It may save your face. I was able to wood glue the bowl back together and finish it. Sometimes it's a practice piece, but you learn so much. Thank you for your wisdom! And nice bowl!! What a challenge,!
An absolutely amazing piece. It turned out to be a very beautiful bowl. And I agree with Julie Gonya, it's relaxing to listen to you. A centerpiece. Thanks Carsten Sweden
Started watching this video a few weeks ago, and just finished watching this dumbfounded Phil. Bow to the grandmaster, you are a champ and I love your masterpieces. big fan Phil BIG FAN , please keep posting.
It's beautiful..I have a peice of wood with lots of gnarled spots and wild grain patterns..I sanded it and varnished and it never fails to make me smile.
When I get to see pieces like this it reinforces to me how fortunate I am that people like you exist Phil so that I can sort of forget my disabilities & all the associated pain & relax while my friend Phil sets himself to explore & release the beauty of nature specifically in wood. You are a master my friend at working with, not against nature. With your wonderful way in commentating 'on the run' shows just how much you immerse yourself in carefully exposing the beauty just waiting to be release in your masterful way. Totally relaxing & wonderful craftsmanship on show for "all to enjoy'. What a joy you really are to the world of wood turning my friend. A truly magnificent piece of artistic wood turning in any way you look at it. I 'give up' on trying to say your 'best piece of work' because you keep on producing them. Keep it up my friend. Don from South Aust.
Wow, thank you, Don! I guess I was just amazed at the beauty inside a piece of driftwood. Had no idea what to expect so this turned out to be a real treat for me. Thank you, my friend! 😊
Well isn’t that amazing in that I discovered Phil just a few days ago and I’ve got to say not only the beauty of the pieces but also his voice really help me take my mind off my disabilities also
How is it that I found him just a week ago, and am disabled with chronic pain also and find Phil to be completely relaxing and mesmerizing. Watching him uncover what nature has hidden with his hands and a few tools, it is amazing to me. Phil, I loved this piece. And you are right in that those edges do look like the waves that made it into drift wood. Cracks, burrs, holes and all, it is absolutely perfect. God bless.
Hi I live in Wales a part of the UK. I’ve been following you for about 14 months and I just love all of your work. Your honesty in over coming the problems is so inspiring. I’ve only been turning for 15 months yet I’ve learned so much from you. Can’t wait to watch the next one. Keep safe and turning….. Debs 😊
Phil Anderson and his amazing sand-o-flex! I have to say that you’re one of my UA-cam woodworking idols . You always seem to know where and how to mount these natural pieces to bring out the best in them. This piece is simply amazing, thank you! I think that the Sand-o-flex is going to be the next tool that I’m going to invest in. Your the only turner that I’ve seen use it on UA-cam, but you can’t argue with results.
Wow, thanks, John! 😊 I often say, if I didn't have a Sand O Flex I would not turn the pieces I do. I don't know any other way to sand the oddities I encounter in the wood I turn.
You really are my favorite woodworking channel. The way you keep nature in every piece is phenomenal but it’s your disposition and calm, soothing voice that keeps me coming back every night. Thanks Phil!
I love how so many of the wood grains look like seashells! Like nature copying nature but in a different form. Then you work your magic and expose it for all of us to enjoy.
Hi Phil I just wanted to say thank you to you for all the effort you put in to making your videos that we all watch for free. You have given me confidence to turn difficult pieces of would and the results are very satisfying. Keep up the good work Michael 🇬🇧👏🏻
Wow Phil outstanding very very beautiful I love driftwood and natural wood like that you could never duplicate something like that even if you tried take care and God bless
Have some driftwood and have had a problem with knowledge of turning it. Also have been a little hesitant due to not wanting to mess it up. Well Phil, this has given me both knowledge and confidence on preparing the piece and myself to turn. Thanks Phil. You help people n different ways and you don’t even know it. Keep up the great work and info you generously provide.
Dang it Phil, I've been living on the Ocean for twenty years and I would have walked by that piece. You have the skill to see things I don't. Take credit!
Haha! Well, I didn't find it but if Dennis brings it to me, I'm gonna try my best. And, that is the key, I think. Just mount it and see what happens. You can do it! 😊
🙋♂️🏴 Hi Phil I don't know how you manage to create such beautiful pieces out of, well just ordinary wood. You see beauty inside a plain piece of wood. Thanks for your weekly tour of your skills. See you next time.
I think I may you figured out, Mr Phil! I have come to believe that you truly enjoy the challenge of turning the unusual pieces that everybody else doesn’t see the potential of! Couple that with your obvious talent to “think outside the box” , so to speak, is a winning combo. That piece would be a magnificent addition in the entryway of someone’s home to collect keys and other miscellany! Well done!
Thank you for some sweet memories! My late father took up woodworking when he retired, and built some fine furniture. I loved watching him use his lathe to turn legs for furniture. I started laughing when you attached the plate with only two screws. Dad was always adjusting and making do in a pinch, and consequently, he always had a bandaid or two on his fingers. Thank you again, and for Pete’s sake, be careful😉
You never disappoint. Your vision is just outstanding. I turn but I don’t have the vision to take a crappy piece of driftwood to the masterpiece you created. Awesome!!!
A beautiful chunk of Myrtlewood. I asked Dale Nish of Utah if he could only turn one kind of wood the rest of his life what would it be. Of course he said Myrtlewood. I've turned some bowls and it is an awesome wood. Great job Phil.
Yep, definitely a beautiful piece. I was thankful you didn't get hurt making that. At times it looked scary. You are a very brave and talented artist, that is for sure. Thanks for another great video Phil.
As a beginner at the age of 60 i love your videos for the inspiration to find out, what beauty might in a piece of driftwood of firewood. Thanks for that,Phil !
Wonderful! This is great to know, Stefan! I love it when my viewers start to think outside the box a little. There is just so much nature to explore in these pieces. Thank you! 😊
OMG, Phil, that is an amazing piece! There just aren’t words that will adequately describe how beautiful that is. Thank you so much for sharing your work on this piece. Way to go, buddy! Just too pretty for words! 👏👏👏👏
Wow, thank you, Gord! It was quite a surprise to me. The wood was so rough and gray and then we got this! Just never know about driftwood, I guess. I'd like to try more but I'm afraid of being disappointed. They can't all be like this, can they? LOL! I see you have a new video, hooray! I will check it out, soon!
I showed this to my son, who just turned 6 this week, and he said it might be the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen. He really likes the bits that look like waves, too.
Hi Phil, This piece is really, really beautiful! as a woodturner myself I know exactly what it takes to create a piece like this and you did a masterful job! Thanks for the video,,, Tom
Also, I love your attitude about the "it's not what I did, it's NATURE letting me know if off" I totally love that! Keep'em coming Phil! You have a new subscriber
Turned a piece of driftwood picked up in Alabama....had seashells and a fish skeleton inside....gave it to a friend for wedding gift....gotta get me a camera to display work... Nice job... driftwood is exciting!!
A beautiful transformation from a discarded, lost, washed-up piece of wood through an artisan’s hands. Saved from destruction. Metaphor for our souls and salvation through Jesus Christ.
Great transformation Phil....you managed to bring out the inner beauty while preserving the outer natural brutality of nature.....if it's from the Oregon coast....I say "Myrtlewood". Best wishes for Easter.
I just don't know if Dennis got it from the coast or some river, Doc. But, I do kinda think it's Myrtlewood and that is cool all by itself! Thank you! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop So if it's sitting on your living room sideboard......😊 THREE air compressors? Greedy bugger!😊 I have just one, new one. My previous three got cremated with ALL my other tools recently.😒#.
I always learn something from your videos, in this case I got so much out of your approach to a complex piece of wood and the minimalist intervention to highlight the Beaty and complexity of the wood itself.
You excelled yourself and did more than justice to the wood. Outstanding. It reminds me of a poppy just bursting into flower. Thank you to Dennis and his lady for sending and to you for sharing and see you soon.
I’m from Oregon, now in Arizona. I make fine furniture and have used lots of that gorgeous wood. It’s Myrtle wood, only found in a very few places in the world. So yes, it’s rare. Great job turning that gnarly chunk of wood.
And to think it had just floated it's way to the beach, David! 😊
Oh, yay!! I’m glad someone could confirm the wood species !

Dave can you recommend a wood lathe?
Here l am again,My son loves wood too,he made a grandfather clock out of barn wood,it’s beautiful, he has huge tree cuts for large tables,made one for his daughter,he will sell the other table tops, Love your work
That is awesome to have such a craftsman in the family, Anna! Thank you! 😊
Love this piece! After my parents retired they booked a trip to California, Washington, Oregon and my Dad brought me a covered desk top box made of Myrtle wood back on the plane. My mom said he held in his lap all the way! That was probably 35 years ago. I cherish that piece dearly. Oh dear. I am tearing up again. 😢

Wow, such a great comment, Julie! You made me smile. 😊 Thank you, I needed that!
I am a 90 year old woman and love watching your masterpiece creations. My dad was a woodworker. Greetings from Vancouver BC Canada.E.Holze.

Thank you Phil for giving the praise to God for the real art and thank you for bringing out that art. Blessings

It's amazing how much beauty there is, hiding deep down in that gnarly piece of wood. Thank you for using your skills so well to let us all enjoy it!
That's my favorite part of turning, Dan. Finding what's inside some of these pieces. I sure didn't expect to find what I did in this old piece of driftwood! 😊
My aunt had a popular hobby back in the 50's, driftwood lamps, I loved them, no one else in the family did. Your art is much more appreciated
I'll bet she had fun with her hobby, too! 😊

That is pretty much how I think of the wood I like to turn, too, John. Thanks for your thoughtful comment! 😊
You are so right in your observation. Now who would have thought that wood-turning could lead to this?
True craftsman.Thank You Jake Bissel.
I appreciate that, Jake, thank you!
I live on the Oregon coast and after storms a lot of driftwood comes in and think of all the beauty! Thank you so very much!

I to live on the Oregon coast. Sunset beach is just 9.2 miles away. This video has given me some good ideas what i can do with the driftwood I come across.
The journey that peice of wood took to end up in your hands is pretty neat to think about. Astronomical odds. Yet here we are. Love it

Fantastic piece. What a nice adventure. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool, thank you, Cassie and son! 😊
Very, very nice, Phil! It does remind me of myrtle wood, now that you mention it. What a find that was! And what a beauty you revealed! Well turned.
Thank you so much, Dave! I really do think it is Myrtle wood and you're right, what a find! 😊
That turn out beautifully, I didn't think it was going to work at first. Great job and yes shared..
Thank you so much, Trisha! I really appreciate your comment and sharing! 😊

Found you here!
I totally agree with Andy..Thats exactly what nature intended that bowl to be!
Beautiful work, absolutely love it.
I always learn something from your videos, in this case I got so much out of your approach to a complex piece of wood and the minimalist intervention to highlight the Beaty and complexity of the wood itself.
That's fantastic, F L! You've described my desired approach very well. I'm glad you can appreciate the nature in the wood, too!
Yes, we’ll described, Fiat
