Hi from 🇨🇦 Phil . I have watch so many of your videos and there are many that I thought at the beginning were going to be a waste of your time. Well when I seen the beginning of this video I was 100% sure it was going to be a very nice piece of fire wood. Well I was SO WRONG. You sir have turned the impossible.
You have a talent that so few have. It’s an honour to watch you at work. This piece is my favourite of ALL wood turnings I have ever watched on UA-cam. And I have spent many hours watching many talented turners, but this has just put you in a category of your own👍.
Gosh, Mr. B, such a great comment! I truly appreciate you taking your time to watch my videos and comment on them. It means a lot to me. Thank you!
Phil
Phil Anderson - Shady Acres Woodshop Well it’s the truth Phil. I have a ? For you. At what speed do you do your sanding ? Wondering if there is a ideal speed? Meaning what RPM is to fast or to slow.
@@watcherdude1330 Typically, 350 rpm. If the piece, like this one, has voids where I'm sanding a lot of air, I will go faster, maybe up to 450. That lessens the chance the disk sander will fall into the void. You do normally want to sand at a little lower rpm to allow the sandpaper to do it's job. Hope that helps!
METAL INSERT LOOKS BEST
I also whach all your videos,you make it so simple,have ever had a failure?
Sir, Not only are your woodworking skills immaculate but so are your tutorials. You pass on your knowledge with clear and precise sentences, and with a wry sense of humour. Well done!!! Bob.
The 2" candle to me warmed up the most wood of "The Piece". Your vision of how the piece evolves is artistry. Anyone can turn a rectangular cube into a bowl. Creating an asymmetrical, beautiful form from an irregular piece of wood...now that's art
Wow, what a great comment to start my day, Bryan! Thank you, I'm so glad you like it!
Phil
Looks unbelievable!
Thank you for taking the time to explain each tool you use or finishing products. Those things really help us newbies learn and it is appreciated.
👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for your great comment!
Phil
A bear, a teddy bear, a big mouse and a candleholder. It’s another beauty.
You saw it all, Nancy! 😊
Need two thumbs up for this one. Like the shortest candle. Leaves more of the piece visible. Enjoy watching your turning.
Thanks, Celia!
Well, Phil, you DID TRY, and we all are sooo glad!
Thank you, Joanne! 😊
Phil enjoy your videos. They are an adventure.,!!!
Wow Phil. The longer I look at this piece, the more I see in it. Budda ? The longer I look at it, the more I love it. True art work! Thanks for sharing Phil 🍻
Buddha's, bears and Mickey Mouse! Thank you for playing along and for your great comment!
Phil
The 2 inch candle. Absolutely beautiful
I think so too, Sue, thank you! 😊
The 2 and 3 inch candles show Micky Mouse above the candles. Another beauty! I must say you have more guts than most of us to attempt to turn this. We are thankful for your talent.
Mickey stands out to me, too, Jeff! 😃
The 2 inch candle looks good to me god has blessed you with a lot of skill
I like the short metal insert. With a tea light in there it would look great Phil. Well done, a tricky turning never to be forgotten!!!
This is why I watch your videos always great
WOW Phil ! Shortest candle for sure, it does illuminate the piece the best.... WOW ! That was quite a choice of turning. Thank You for sharing.
Very creative mounting...worked perfect. Lovely Japanese maple burl. I think the smaller candle looks great. True masterpiece. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much! 😊
2 inch candle looks best to me. Can't believe it stayed on, you are very talented Phil.
The knitty gritty details are very educational, thank you!
You are so welcome, Jim, thanks for watching! 😊
Man, I don't think anyone was expecting this piece. I was scared it would fly off lol. I think the metal piece accents the wood best, and it almost seems to make the birl pop even more. I try limiting my daily UA-cam videos, but I am noticing a bit of a binge on your videos. Your work makes me want to try the more complicated pieces I have stacked outside my shop. Keep the great pieces coming, and again thank you for your time!
Thank you, Matthew! I'm happy to know you will try some of the different pieces of wood. Once you get a couple under your belt it's really hard to go back to just a round blank.
Phil
Love the smallest candle in this piece. Really makes the wood stand out. Awesome piece!
Thank you, Nancy, that was my thinking as well!
I really like how you respected the wood on this project. The 3” candle was perfect.
Wow, just wow! No one else would have taken that on! Fantastic which ever insert you go with.
Absolutely amazing turning, Phil. Your talent seems to be unlimited. Thanks for the lesson! 😃😃👍👍
Wow, thank you so much, Gord! As you sometimes say, I wouldn't do it if it wasn't fun!
Phil
As I’ve said before, I love maple. This wood has such a pretty color and the grain is fantastic. I think I like the flickering candles best but I can’t decide between the two and three inch candles. I like the candles best because they don’t compete with the wood, they enhance it. The maple is the star of the show! Another lovely job, Phil. Great way to start the year!
I was surprised how well those little flickering lights lit up the wood, Dianna. Thank you, I'm so glad you like it!
Phil
I was very curious as to your approach for this piece. I was delighted to see that you were successful in using the 2 sided tape and could achieve the column that you did. Being able to save so many of the bumps on the inside was wonderful. Great job!
Phil, so amazing and creative! Thank you for sharing your gift with us and honoring the wood’s uniqueness! Each piece is so special and you took it to new height! I loved the votive candle!
Good Day , Phil
All I can say is BEAUTIFUL !
And that is an understatement !
Thank you for Sharing !
Take Care and Be Safe
Thanks, Larry, you too!
I remember when, back in September, you and I were standing in front of Ye Olde Wall o' Woode in my garage contemplating the weird lumps and chunks I've collected and I pulled that one out and thrust it into your not exactly excited grasp. The method you came up with for mounting is simply superb! I think you have topped my Peek-a-Boo vase made from the same tree! Very very nice, no matter which insert you use. Well turned, indeed! Thank you so much for sharing your tips, tricks, experiments and successes. This helps so much. 😁
Dave, Calmwood Creations
That was a great gift Dave and to think I was almost there that day Phil made something special out of it.
Was studying the Norway Maple today. Also the Plum Crotch. Pretty soon...
Hope all is going well.
Gary
HA! You saw that reluctant look on my face, huh Dave? I set the piece front and center. It may be visible in some of my other videos when I have the camera pointing at the workbench. I picked it up many times, turned it around, turned it over, and put it back. I could see the potential just in the beautiful wood but had a hard time figuring out out to hold it. Finally worked out. I'm so glad you like it, buddy!
Phil
This will be stunning with a tall candle in a plain glass jar - what an amazing piece ❤
Great idea, Ruth!!
I love the tallest candle! Also the metal with votive candle. Beautiful!
Thank you, Cordella! 😊
The 2” inch Candle suits this work of art and looks like a natural melted candle . Really appreciate the approach to go the path untrodden to see a result that’s out standing piece of art !! Great piece only inspires me more more to wood turning
Fantastic piece! Phil, you've got the eye of a sculpturer, the patience of Job and nerves of steel.
It looks like a grotto. Beautiful.
Thank you! 😊
If my vote is worth anything, the small metal is my favorite. The piece is absolutely beautiful.
Your vote matches mine, Johnnie, so we win! Thank you!
Phil
Gorgeous phill, simply gorgeous!!!!
Excellent job Phil! I vote for the 2" candle or a shorter glass vase.
Ok that is beyond impressive. I like the shortest candle the best. Gorgeous piece.
I salute you for having the internal fortitude to attempt this turning..
😊
You are a very brave man with that turning. Absolutely beautiful. I like all the candles in it.
This is so unusual and beautiful! If you look at it as a whole, it looks like a bear setting down. We noticed many faces around the forrester cut, and on the right, inside the forrester cut you can see a naked lady with her arms up aroud her head, and a sheet across her lower body. An absolutely beautiful piece of art!!! Enjoyed watching you work this, and thank you for sharing the finished product!! Love it!!
Thank you, Joann! I see a few things in this piece but you see a lot!
Phil
I think I like the 2” candle as well. It really shows off the wood and the finish really shines. Beautiful!!!
Thank you so much, Sharon! 😊
Again you are amazing Phil... Love your humour and discussion of your working ... Producing wonders with very difficult woodturning... Your the best creator I've seen... Small candle shows up good without hiding the grain. 👍
You flatter me, Laurie. Go ahead, do it again, I can take it! LOL! Thank you so much for your always uplifting comments, I truly appreciate them!
Phil
The metallic cup is the best I think. Neat work!
Nicely done. I love candles. Beautiful.
Thank you, I'm glad you like it! 😊
I don't know how you came up with the idea on how to hold that piece in the lathe but it was ABSOLUTELY brilliant!!!!!!! I am at a lost of words for the beauty of this piece, all that comes to my mind right now is ABSOLUTELY GEORGEOUS!!!!!!! I like the shorter candles, the tall ones hide too much beauty of the wood. The last one was the best.
Wow, Curt, thank you! Your comment makes me sit up just a little straighter and puts a smile on my face!
Phil
Wonderful candle stand .....reflects the light well.....a real art piece........
Thank you very much, Hazel! 😊
I think a teeny little electronic tea light would look amazing in this!
My favorite!! Gives me a warm and cozy by the fireplace kind of feeling! 2 " candle for sure!
Cool, thank you, Leslie! 😊
Stunning! I think a little Buddha statue would look great in it .
I think so too! 😊
O yes, you nailed it. I like the short candle.
Thank you, Charlie! 😊
A true work of art thanks mainly to your great skill. I go for the 2 inch candle.
Beer bottle holder for the man cave!
It is beautiful wood. A conversation piece for sure. ♥️🇺🇸
😊
I like the three inch candle in this piece. You made a beautiful piece out of this Japanese Maple. Well done
Thank you very much, Daniel! 😊
uncle did really well, very useful items
I like the short candle. It lights up the wood
I love how it turned out. My favorite was the third candle.
😊
Yes, the shortest votive candle holder with the iridescent finish looks crazy good. ♥️🇺🇸
I think so too! 😊
I think I like the 4-inch candle in that beautiful piece you just turned Phil. You have Mad Skills my friend!
Noted! Thank you kindly, Mark! 😊
I liked the shorter 2 flicker candles. Its very pretty! Thank you.
Me too, Texana, me too. Thank you!
Phil
Wow!! Phil, I just watched this one last night. That's a very beautiful piece. You have such a wonderful gift of vision ... to see what's hidden in an apparently hopeless mess. Thank you for reminding us to not give up easily on any bit of wood.
Wow, thank you, Geoff! 😊
Wood is awesome. And in the right hands it becomes breathtaking art. Beautiful peice Phil.
Love the candles!!!
😊
You went with it EXACTLY the way I would have tackled it! And even though you used the word “vase”, I figured it for a candle holder. And yes, the metallic votive is the best choice of the options presented. The stripes blend beautifully with the wood on Camera, without compromising the wonderful burl details. Very well done on this one! If you decide later to part with it, keep me at the top of the list of people who would love to own it!!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much, Valerie! You'll probably have to talk to my heirs, it's not going anywhere while I'm still around. LOL!
Phil
Phil Anderson - Shady Acres Woodshop Put my name on the bottom then. So they will know who gets it!
@@valeriehenschel1590 Howdy, Valerie! Dave, here at Calmwood Creations. I'm the guy who just about tossed this chunk into the fireplace, but then figured maybe just perhaps Phil could figure out a way to mount it. So I challenged him to do what I couldn't. This video kicked me into outer space! Beauty revealed is its own reward.
@@valeriehenschel1590 LOL! I'm on it, Valerie!
D. Ash Never, ever throw good burl in the fire!!! With a nick name of Burl Girl, I work any piece I can get my hands on. As soon as I saw the wood, I said “candle holder”! Of course, he could have done a bowl, but it really wanted to be upright.
Hi Phil , I was skeptical at the start waiting for eminent disaster but you managed to pull it off even the half hole, it does look fantastic, now I need to go catch my breath thanks for sharing
That was fun to watch. To finish the piece off, I think the simpler you go with the better, as the insert shouldn't take away from the wood. Therefore, either the plain glass vase, 3-4 inches, or the 3 in. or 4 in. candle.
Very nice piece, I'll go with the last metal cup. Beautiful!!!
Fabulous turning and so brave. The combination of having no center on the head stock end and only double sided tape to hold such an off center piece was akin to magic. The finish was out of this world and looked more like alabaster than wood. On so many fronts, this piece, well deserves to be at the top of your hall of fame. Loved the 3" candle and also the metal votive holder. I so need a lathe with a tail stock and variable speed.
Thank you, Alan, I'm really glad you like it!
Phil
I love the details of the wood..looks like marble.
Agreed! 😊
Okay, I see it now. Let's make a lamp base. It's so beautiful with all that live edge bumpy exterior.
😊
That piece is so awesome. The 2 inch candle is my favorite. Great eye and skill.
Thank you, Kent! 😊
Very beautiful I love it and I love the 3 inch candle
Like the 3” candle and your choice....looks great!
Thanks for voting 😊
That was a great video i like the 2 inch candle.You amaze me Phil with your turning i can't wheat for the next one.
To those with the guts goes the glory, and this piece is the proof! Love it, love it! Admire you so much to go exploring!
Stunning!! I like the small flickering or the metal votive! Just gorgeous!
Thank you, Deby!
Phil
I most definitely like the 3 in candle best. It's a beautiful piece! Great job!
Love it, the 3 inch candle looks best to me.👍🏻👍🏻
😊
What is there to say except AMAZING work of art. Gorgeous!
Kinda looks like the piece is wrapping arms around something not there yet, a wonderful hug.
Exactly, Joanne! I love that part.
My wife and I really like the vase! The three inch candle would be our pick! Great job!!
So good to know, Gary and wife, thank you!
Phil
A tea light would be warm and awesome!
Dr Phil, you are one brave turner! 👍🏻🇺🇸
😊
Hello Phil from Union Point, Ga. My wife and I really enjoy watching your videos. We both have learned a lot from them. I started turning awhile back on a 1956 shopsmith. Hope to one day upgrade to a more up to date lathe. Anyway thanks again for the videos.
I love reading this, Barry! There are a few couples that watch together and I find that fascinating and satisfying. Thank you so much for making my day!
Phil
This is spectacular! I like the medium candle, I can imagine it flickering against the wood in the night.
😊
Phil, I would never have dreamed of putting that piece on a lathe. Lovely piece of wood, I would have thought of re-sawing the piece into veneers.
That would be a great option too, Eric. It's just that I have a one-track mind. Woodturning! 😄
Another stunner to start a new year. It looks almost porcelain! I like the two shorter candles personally. Thanks for showing. Jules, Droitwich, England
Hi Phil,
I can surely understand why you like this piece, it is simply gorgeous!
My favorites are the 3” and 2” candles, those look really good.
Thanks for sharing and take care!
Best regards
Lars
Thank you very much, Lars!
Phil
I admire your bravery and the tenacity to try to turn that piece of wood the way you did!
Not wromg scarry stuff
Thank You Phil ( Thank You Dave Calmwood Creations )..Your first Japanese Maple Burl ?? This is quite unusual in appearance and in the unique holding technique needed to accomplish the turn. My vote would be for the last 2 inserts. The candle brings out the wood grain. Beautiful Phil, TM
This tree presented me with a lot of large pieces of trunk, all concave as the heartwood rotted out while the tree was standing. Nothing but sap wood which kept growing for years, churning out suckers. So it's not true burl, fairly punky in places and tears out horribly. (but sands out easily, so there's that) I had no idea how to treat this chunk and figured to challenge Phil with it. Wow! I am sitting here in amazement!
@@DAsh-wi1zc A very nice choice Dave and FUN for all of us thanks to Phil....tm
Thank you, Tuffy! I did this turning about three weeks ago and forgot about the holding technique. I had to watch it to see what you were talking about. Ah! Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking! LOL! I agree about the inserts and the light of the candle. I also see Mickey Mouse, ears and all, in this piece. Didn't notice that before!
Phil

Or, if you have my sort of imagination, you hear a disembodied voice proclaiming, "You seek Yogurt!" (diehard fan of Spaceballs that I am)
Just gorgeous, I love how simple you keep pieces and let the wood shine through - for that reason, I like the shortest candle because it shows the most wood
Thanks so much, Tracy! 😊 I feel the same way.
Wow Phil, what a fantastic piece. It is beautiful . I like the last insert, the metallic one.
Definitely different, but an amazing niche for all sorts of things!
😊
Wow, your vision and skill ceases to amaze. I like the two inch candle. You can get a one inch candle that would show off more of that beautiful wood.
Great looking turning and i like the plain glass but I agree it should be shorter and the candles look good too. Well done.
A very difficult piece to accomplish, but a wonderful result as a candle holder, Phil. Good work!
Yes, thanks, Richard! 😊
That’s awesome Phil. I would go
With the candle idea. Gives it that little extra touch. Great job.
Dear Phil what an awesome piece of wood. While you were busy with it I was thinking it will look awesome if you put a small glass like vase in it with red roses. But again you have the perfect result that little silver thing looks perfect in there. You did it again magnificent and spectacular.
I was thinking vase as well, Kobie. It still could hold a vase but the candle holders work well, too. Thank you very much!
Phil
Hi Phil.....Oh my ...that was an edge of the seat white knuckle ride....every time you said " I think that I will take one more pass " I thought it would fly off the lathe....phew !!! ...its the 3 inch candle for me too...you have set the benchmark now and you are going to struggle to beat that one on the next video...ha ha...brilliant...All the best.....Andy
That's always a gamble, isn't it, Andy? Trying to top the last one. Oh, well, that probably won't be any time soon! Thank you, my friend!
Phil
This is a work of art Phil, when you started I was wondering what you could possibly make out of a chunk of Lathe unfriendly wood like that, I was thinking you might use resin but in the end it turned out better without resin..! Shortest candle works best I think. Nice work..
I thought you were crazy, but after seeing the different candles and glass and different objects you placed in the center that it truly is amazing well done, I like it a lot.
I'm glad you like it, it surprised me at the end, too!
Phil
