Phil, I am going to speak for the rest of your fans
It's been over 24 hours since most of us viewed your last video and you haven't responded to comments.
I know you had health issues in the past. I hope your okay.
Wow, I appreciate that you notice this, Russ, thank you! You are right. It's a busy time, working on my deck but still turning during breaks. I don't want to miss a week if I can help it. I don't like getting behind in the comments like this but it can't be helped. I have checked in each day just to see how this video is doing. I'll get caught up, soon, I hope. And, I'm doing fine! 😊
Geeze you know Phil probably has a life too
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop great news Phil, I wish I was there to help you! It would be my pleasure. I may not be able to turn a bowl, but can build a hell of a deck and home repairs!
Glad you enjoyed turning this little crotch of black walnut. Back when you first started the channel, you were choosing between a “good piece of walnut” and a not as nice piece of wood. You chose the other piece to work on that day. Given that I had too much turning wood, that video is what inspired me to gift you some wood at that time, and give you more choices to pick from. The rest is history! Glad I could help support the channel over these past years. It is always rewarding to watch you create one of a kind turning on your lathe.
Thank you so much for sharing this piece with Phil!
I also say thank you for sending this to Phil.
As Dave and Bill said, Thanks Valerie
Valerie, you, too, are a star for supplying Phil with wood; thank you.
I got started sending Phil wood back when he was beginning because in one video, he was complaining about only having birch for turning local hardwood. Figured it was a good way to repay for all the teaching he does for us. (also a good way to get some of my excess out of the way)
To turn that bowl round would be to strip away all of its character, your way is absolutely the way forward. Thank you for enriching all of our lives with your wonderful presence and talent 🙏☺️
Thank you very kindly, Derek! 😊
Another fantastic finish (pun intended) to another bowl that displays the beauty of nature in something most people would just toss into the fireplace. Thank you!
Thank you, Robert! 😊
Thank You Phil, Thank You Valerie, Thank You Friend Of Valerie in Pasco in Washington ... Well Phil I can never say it enough "You can make the most out of the very least". That is a small piece of Black Walnut and along with your instructional shop procedures makes for a wonderful show today. Nice THICK beautiful bark, dark Black Walnut and a very nice little bowl that seemed fun for you to turn and fun for us to watch. Until next time Phil.... TM
You are most welcome, Tuffy! And glad Phil enjoyed turning it.
Definitely fun to turn, Tuffy! I enjoy the challenge of the big pieces but once in awhile, these little ones are just the ticket! 😊
Tuffy Phil mentions your name on his videos. I echo your comments, I feel very privileged to be a witness one of the best turners I know. I hope you will also KEEP ON TURNING
I like not always round. You seen a feather & I seen a heart😁Walnut is just a beautiful wood.
Oh, cool, I'll look for the heart! Thanks, Lynda! 😊
Just keep turning firewood into treasures Phil. 😀
I'm on it, David! 😊
Hola Phil,
Sometimes the little ones are the best. Start with almost nothing and by turning away half of it you create a beautiful something.
Keep the aspidistra flying!
God bless,
Paul
Agree, Paul and fun to turn, too! 😊
Another beautiful piece of art! I love turning walnut. It has so many colors in it. The bottom of the bowl looks like a man screaming 😱. Thanks for sharing your videos. Mr Phil, you have become an inspiration to me.
Cool, I gotta go look at the bottom, now! 😊
Morning Phil, Another PAM (Phil Anderson Masterpiece).
Black Walnut just keeps giving woodturners wonderful wood to work with and this piece is no exception.
Beautiful Phil.
You were right one cup did it for this morning.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw
Yup, short and sweet just for you so you can get on with your day, Huw! Thanks for stopping by! 😊
Another visit with a warm, fellow woodturner. Thank you for sharing. You make me wish that we were neighbors.
That would be cool, Gary! 😊
There is nothing to hate about that bowl. Stunning.
😊
Black Walnut is so pretty. I love the odd shaped bowls you make…so unique!
Cool, thanks! 😊
You made that look effortless, but that's just because you can. Love the uniqueness of the pieces you turn. And this one is no exception. Can't beat Black Walnut and that goes double for a crotch piece.
Thanks for sharing.
Yup, special wood, Bob! 😊
I love black walnut! Your design and finish are perfect! Thank you, Phil!
Thanks, Peter! 😊
Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. Walnut is always a winner. ❤️
😊
Oh how you teach us Phil. Every video teaches me a little more and just love your teaching approach. Love it!!!!!!
Thank you, Kid! 😊
The Picasso of woodturning!
Haha, thanks, Blair! 😊
I really like that piece. You always turn something out of nothing. Your work is amazing.
Thank you! 😊
Infinitely more interesting than a round bowl.
We agree, thanks! 😊
Okay! Now you've done it! You took a waste chunk and made a gorgeous live edge bowl out of it! So now that's forcing me to head out to the cut-off pile and search for that odd maple crotch waste chunk that I remember tossing to the side 'cuz it was just too odd, too thin and the large slab's grain was simply too exciting. I'll find it... sometime.
Oh! I've got a couple shirts just like that. I made this song up because of it:
"I've got shavings in my pockets,
"I've got sawdust in my shoes.
"The wood just keeps on spinnin',
"But I've got woodturner's blues."
Gorgeous bowl, excellent save! Thank you for the tricks and methods.
Nice song.
Bill
Haha, nice lyrics but don't quite your day job, Dave! 😊
Exactly. My thanks. Your donated wood chunks for all to enjoy, as Phil says. So beautiful.
😊
Great piece, ideal change bowl. Walnut rarely disappoints.
😊
Love it! Please don't produce 'round', we can all do 'round', we love how you create beauty with Nature; that is masterful. Thank you.
Thank you so much, David! 😊
You were right on with the center placement. Beautiful piece! Thanks Phil 😊
Thanks for noticing, Karen! 😊
It’s like velvet, so smooth and the walnut wood it amazing
😊
Gorgeous!! I like that a lot, Phil. Beautiful figure in that bowl, buddy! Excellent demo! 👏👏👏
Take care,
…..Gord
Thank you very much, Gord! Yup, hard to beat Walnut! 😊
Thank you Phil for another beautiful turning.
😊
🙋♂️🏴 Hi Phil another lovely bowl you turned on the lathe. It's brilliant how a three sided piece can turn out to become a bowl. Fantastic grain and really nice and smooth finish.
Thank you, John! 😊
Thank you and Valerie!
Another masterpiece
Thanks, Luie! 😊
Phil, good tip on the shavings in the pocket. My wife is getting really tired of cleaning shavings out of the dryer vent. Gotta love the Black Walnut. As always you've turned what usually goes into a fire and created a work of art. Impatiently waiting for next Thursday.
Cool, thank you, Jimmie! 😊
Красивая миска, оригинально исполнена, подчёркнута структура древисины. Мне очень нравится.
Я так рада, что вам понравилось, спасибо! 😊
Very nice. Black Walnut does not disappoint.👍
😊
Hi Phil this little black walnut crotch is beautiful the grain is lovely and I love the bark. I really like the mini love edge bowl it magnificent and unique. Well done Phil . The video was great. Amanda xx
Thank you, Amanda, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
Simple is definitely better sometimes! Looks great with the feathering.
😊
This is a beautiful bowl from black walnut thanks for sharing your work with us.
😊
When I first started watching you, I couldn’t understand why you didn’t just cut the outside into a circular bowl immediately. Thank goodness you have made me see the beauty in wibbly, wobbly exteriors… perfection is in the eye of the beholder.
I'm so glad you understand, now, Margaret. This is so important to me. Thank you very much! 😊
I look forward to Thursdays because they are "Phil Anderson Video" days. That is another really beautiful piece Phil. The figure in that walnut is really something. The pieces you turn are always so interesting. I did a bit of a double take early on, "Waitaminute! Phil just did a recess and not a tenon." 😁
Haha, I've done a few recesses lately, Mark. 😊 Not sure why but I guess a lot of smaller pieces. I tend to use a recess on them more often.
"There's A Feather In My..." Sounds like a ticklish situation to me, Phil 😁
LOL! I added the ( Walnut) after I already had uploaded the video, Jim. It just didn't sound right! 😊
As always another beautiful piece!
If only we all had such lovely parts of tree sent to us to turn!
Maybe one day....😊
I have plenty more of the small black walnut crotches like the one I sent Phil. I will send you some if you pay the postal shipping flat rate.
@@valeriehenschel1590 thank you that's very kind but lord knows how much that would be to the uk!?! 😁
That would be cool! 😊
Beautiful looking live edge bowl. Always love crotch pieces , amazing grain patterns. Very well done Phil 👍.
Thank you, Scott! 😊
Hi Phil, This bowl has to be a top 10, beautiful bowl, love the shape and the bark, well done sir !!
Thank you! 😊
Always love walnut. Beautifully done, Phil. Enjoyed your instruction.
😊
A beautiful piece of wood and work. I know you always see something in your work, to me It looks like an arrowhead from the above view.
Thank you for taking the time to explain the things you do when you’re doing them.
You are welcome, thanks for commenting, Barry! 😊
Always a pleasure seeing you turn out a beautiful piece from nothing. Funny story about the pocket full of shavings
Thanks, Michael! 😊
My initial thought was "boy i bet that tickles" 😂 then i watched your video and i love the shape of this bowl, and the feather design in the bottom. Another lovely piece Phil 😊
Haha! Thank you, Denise! 😊
The bowl is beautiful in its simplicity!
Thank you! 😊
Absolutely spectacular, Phil! Goodness gracious!😊
😊
A very cool looking piece Phil. I love the grain pattern inside. Nothing quite like a crotch piece. Some of the nicest looking bark I have seen on Black Walnut but your treatment of the bark is the best. Another fun video to watch my friend,
Gary
Thanks a lot, Gary! Hard to go wrong with Walnut and then add in a crotch piece and I'd really have to try to make it look bad. These little pieces can be a nice break from the massive, problematic pieces. Just right for your shoulder, I bet! 😊
Phil I have to admit I am getting spoiled on these small turnings.
Shoulder is pretty happy with me doing it.
I like it, the walnut grain and the shape too. It sure would look great filled with M&Ms next to my sewing machine.
Perfect for that, Betsy! 😊
What a gorgeous bowl, you are gifted with a good eye Phil, and thank you to the lady who sent you this lovely piece of wood. From sunny Lancashire. UK
Thank you! 😊
What a beautiful piece Phil. My whole turning experience has been influenced by you. I have even purchased my lathe which is the same as yours.
I approach my pieces very similar to you. I love your approach and the fact that it’s more fun to turn something that’s been given to you just as it is. I get most my wood from a local firewood supplier. He loves that I turn them into art verses burning them. He allows me to look thru his piles and never charges me. Great guy. So you are truly the inspiration to what I do. Thank you so very much for sharing this passion .
What a beautiful comment, thank you so much, David! 😊
Love the shape, the bark, the feather, the figure and just watching your videos.
All the best to you Phil.
Regards Jim
Cool, thank you so much, Jim! 😊
Beautiful! During the holidays with pine cones stacked inside! You give good ideas for those odd pieces. Thank you!
😊
have been wanting to view the world famous Feather Bowl that Vallery sent you! Your Instuction on how to find the center of an irregular piece was SPOT ON (LOL) (GET IT) Thanks for teaching us that don't know how. That is why ALL turners should watch his channel. he is always teaching while working (PLAYING). This method works. Oh by the way the Feather in the bottom came out beautiful. Wish it was mine> KEEP ON TURNING
Such a fine comment, Howard, thank you so much! 😊
The shape is pretty! Natural! Thanks for sharing!
You can never go wrong with Carhartt!!
There ya go, Kelly! 😊
Phil that is an absolute amazing bowl! It looks like a black walnut heart with a feather 😊
Cool, thanks, MaryBeth! 😊
Another stunning piece, Phil! Crotchwood always has some amazing figure.
True enough, Billy, thanks! 😊
Love the odd shaped pieces, it looks great.
Thanks, Doc! 😊
Beautiful natural edge, black walnut bowl Phil & great instruction on how to find centre 😊
Cool, thank you, Karen! 😊
Cute bowl with lots of color and very nice grain, and something truly unique, well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thanks, Al! 😊
Oh goodness Phil we now need a Crotch shelf. lol Everything nice about this piece bark colour shape, good job Phil. 😁
Thanks, Lewis! 😊
I love this project!! You did a fantastic job creating a special, one-of-a-kind bowl!
Thanks Phil❤
Thank you, Texana! 😊
Absolutely beautiful. Love the shape and how the bowl fits the shape of the piece. Also, the grain is very lovely.
Thank you, Bill! 😊
You can never go wrong with walnut. I can identify with your pocket story. I paint and most of my clothes have smears of paint on them. It's an occupational hazard 😅!
Haha, yes, I'll bet you look colorful at the end of your day, Kristi! 😊
I love your imagination, you take something that many of us would put in the burn pile and make something beautiful out of it. I look forward to your next video.
Thank you, Jim! 😊
Phil, this is a beautiful piece! Black Walnut is a lovely wood to turn and your finish is flawless. Thanks so much for sharing this one. 👍🏾
Agreed, Greg, Walnut of any kind is lovely to turn. I'm glad you like this one, thank you so much! 😊
Beautiful piece. Love working with walnut.
😊
Another beautiful piece of art!!! Keep up the great work Phil. Have a blessed weekend. 🙂
Thank you, Mary, it was a busy weekend! 😊
Howdy Phil, you've got a wood lathe. Use it however you want! 😉
😊
Consistently some of the very best content on youtube!
So kind of you, thank you! 😊
I just love how velvety smooth all your pieces are. You have much more patience for sanding than I do! Always enjoy watching you "caress" your finished pieces wirh such appreciation!
Thank you, Leigh! 😊
A wonderful bowl, a lovely piece! I wish I were younger, my son had his walnut tree taken down because it was growing under a power line. I would have suggested he kept the best bits to season in his empty barn. I've worked with timber for most of my life, and did a little turning when at school. I would have loved to teach myself to turn, learning from your videos. The tree surgeon knew what to do with that walnut, I'm sure!
Oh, I bet he did, Richard!
Gotta love Walnut and the feather is way cool!
Agreed! 😊
Howdy Phil from the UK 🇬🇧
Howdy! 😊
Very lovely! Can’t hardly beat black walnut!
😊
Absolutely gorgeous Phil what a lovely base for a rose bowel of course you could use it to hold keys or paper clips or loose change how ever you use it is is a beautiful piece Blessings have a super weekend
Many thanks 😊
I'd like it art comes in all shapes.😊
😊
I thoroughly enjoyed this as well as all your turnings! You have inspired me as a relatively new turner. I look forward to your videos.
Good to know, Martin, thank you! 😊
Turned out very nice. I’m inspired. Thank you. ❤👍👍👍
Awesome! Thank you! 😊
A beautiful little bowl Phil . Thanks for sharing .
Thank you, Jon! 😊
Another Phil Anderson Masterpiece. Thanks to Valerie for sending it to you and Thanks to you for making such a lovely piece before our eyes. Long may you reign!!
Thank you too, Cliff for your comment! 😊
As someone who collects feathers, I find this bowl exceptionally beautiful…another wonderful piece…love it…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cool, thank you, Loraine! 😊
It's a bowl with a heart!
Indeed, Sheilah! 😊
Another fine work of art. Beautiful grain and color.
Many thanks! 😊
Wow! Beautiful bowl and piece of black walnut.
😊
Beautiful figure in the grain, interesting shape and a perfect finish…and that bark is the icing on the cake! Love the live-edge pieces! Thank you to Valerie, and thanks to you, Phil for sharing this lovely little bowl with all of us.
Thank you very much, Marcia! 😊
Gorgeous piece, Maestro. Thank you Valerie!
Great to have a quick glimpse of the sharpening too... I remember when I was just starting out, sharpening seemed like such a daunting task, but now it's less than 30 seconds and back to the lathe. Hopefully seeing you do it will gift new turners a bit of confidence ;)
Jay
Easy-peasy with a great jig, Jay! 😊
Beautiful as always! I love the different look for each piece.
😊
Walnut never disappoints! My grandsons ate always picking shavings from my hair😅, I have an old kitchen apron I wear, the pockets are always full of shavings. I do exactly the same thing. Air hose them out.
Tricks of the trade, Jane! LOL!
Quite beautiful! Everything about it is fantastic. Wood is majestic if you ask me.
I totally agree! 😊
Absolutely beautiful live edge crochet piece Phil. I love it.
😊
Another beauty, Phil. Love how you make the most just about any piece. I like the shape. Other than for wheels and tires, I think round is overrated!
Right on, Tom! 😊
Phil, I put a strip of blue painters tape on the pocket to keep the wood chips out! Keep up the great work and Thanks!
Yeah, I've done that too, Steve. Just don't remember very often! 😊
I can’t hardly wait for Thursday to get here,So I can see what new project is on the lathe. you never seem to disappoint. It’s an absolute pleasure 😊watching you work, you take ordinary wood, and make art.
I appreciate that, George, thank you! 😊
You are right, it is beautiful. I bought a well designed smock with a pocket at the back but forget to wear it so my T shirt pockets also fill up 🌞
😊
This is a very unique piece of art i just love the gray color never seen gray wood before
😊
Another beautiful piece! Well done.
😊
Here you go again. Beautiful as always, Centering the piece with your method makes a lot of sense. I was using a different method with mixed results. I will start using your way, you make it look so easy. I should have gone to bed hours ago, but I am addicted to watching your videos. I learn something new EVERY time I watch one of your videos. When I get up tomorrow I plan on KEEP ON TURNING GOOD NITE YUALL
Great idea, keep turning! 😊
Another amazing bowl. Love it💕💕
😊
