Natural Live Edge Winged Bowl - Wood Turning
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- A fairly green piece of Plum wood turned into a Live Edge Winged Bowl.
Inspiration for this piece came from watching a video by Woodturner Ky. Watch him, he will be around for a long time to come! Here is his channel:

I'd forgotten how much fun an oddly shaped piece of wood could be thank you
For me, it's the MOST fun, John! 😊
These aren't bowls that you make - they really are artworks! The patterns in the wood that you reveal are breathtaking 😍
Thanks so much, Ruth, for noticing the art in these pieces. It's already there, just needs a little polishing. 😊
"if I can find the edge, WHOA, I found it!" 🤣👌 You're just wonderful thank you for your authenticity!
Welcome!! Thank you for watching, Lisa Marie! 😊
The color is absolutely beautiful. It amazes me how you can take a piece of wood and turn it into a work of art.
Thank you very much, Bonnie! 😊
Wonderful piece, Phil. Full of contrasts in grain, colours of heart and sapwood, and the bark stayed on! Such an intersting shape too. Great turning. I like plum wood, then again, I like all the wood you turn.
Glad you enjoyed it, Richard, thank you! I am sooo fortunate to have such generous viewers that want to share their wood with me and my audience! 😊
Great shape, bark and grain. Simply a beautiful bowl!
Cool, thank you, Susanne! 😊
I love the shape of this one. It really Cascades into itself.
😊
You and your winged shapes! Speaking of wings, your Angel is standing behind you, sweating.
LOL! Thanks for the laugh, Craig!
Phil
Very fun to watch! Gorgeous piece of art!
Thank you very much! 😊
Phil I am amazed by your ability to see what’s inside the piece of wood.
Gotta be something in there, Ronnie! 😊
🙋♂️🏴 You seem to be able to bring out the beauty of nature. 🇺🇲
I give it my all, John, thanks for noticing! 😊
I think most fruit woods look good turned, that is a lovely piece.
Agreed, Lewis. Thanks!
It was very fun to watch. Love the grain.
Thank you, Stewart! 😁
That's a beautiful piece Phil kept you thinking until the end😁👍
You got that right! 😊
I watched this again. It's just super!
I'm glad you like it, Michael, thank you! 😊
Hey, Phil. I agreed with turning the top a little wider, did you hear me? Probably not, I'm like 2 years later with this comment. Fantastic piece! Got my wood turning fix for today. See ya next time.
Dang, sorry I missed hearing your voice, Ray! LOL! Thanks for participating, though! 😊
That is such beautiful wood. So glad you brought it all the way out. I love the unique pieces you make and not just same ole round bowls. I've recently purchased a wood lathe but haven't been able to start working with it yet but I'm so excited. I've been making bowls by hand and love doing it because so far they have been unique also and not typical round dough bowls. Thanks for the videos you are so expiring and I love that you explain what you're doing as you go along and let us see your progress.
Thank you very much, Rita! 😊 Best of luck with your lathe once you get going with it!
i may be late catching up, but really enjoyed watching you turn that piece, beautiful finish.
Glad you enjoyed it, Gary, thank you for watching! 😊
Unique bowl. Very pretty. Another fine work.
Thank you, Stewart! 😃
...so, I had to go back pretty far to find this...but it turned out amazing! The contrasting colors are just beautiful...
Hope you're doing well and can get back to doing what you love soon...I'll be waiting...👍
Thank you so much, I appreciate your patience! 😊
It WAS fun to watch. I’m inspired
I can't ask for more than that, Ned, thank you! 😊
22:04 “Sorry to interrupt your nap”…Priceless ; ) Wow!!! What a beautiful piece. Thanks Phil!
LOL! Thanks, Mark! 😊
Love it! Kind of wood I’d love to carve free hand.
😃
Super looking piece as usual.
Thank you so much, Scott! 😊
I love it, you have great patience 👍
Thank you! 😊 Cheers!
Wonderful! Beautiful!
Glad you like it, Annette, thank you! 😄
Phil...again you hit the mark with this piece. BEAUTIFUL doesn't even cover it. Love all the knots. Such beauty.. Thank you for sharing your gift..
Glad you like it, Patricia, thank you!
I love how you talk through your thought process and the reasons why you do something. It's been very educational. The fact that your work is absolutely stunning makes it all the better.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Bryan, thank you!
Phil
I was right, scraper time. Glad you listened :-D
I heard you loud and clear, Dave! 😊
Very pretty Phil beautiful grain and you got the best out of it. Terry downunder
Wow, this one is from the archives, Terry. Thank you, I'm glad you like it! 😄
Very nice I love the grain
Still a favorite of mine, Roberta, I'm glad you agree! Thank you!
Phil
I really do love your Videos Phil . Every Day i look at youtube if you have uploaded a new one ^^. Greetings from your Nr 1 Fan from Bavaria/Germany :)
Wow, thanks! I appreciate you taking your time to watch and comment! 😊
The beauty of these intricate creation by nature is easily appreciated for me by your simply affection of sharing. Thank You.
So nice of you, Tuan, thank you! 😊
Beautiful grain and shape. Thanks Phil!
😊
Who knew plum wood was so pretty! Wonderful job, Phil!
😊
What a beautiful piece Phil I’m not easily impressed but hey ho you got me good job
😊
My new favorite also!
Cool, this one was kind of fun! 😊
Beautiful .
Thank you! 😊
That's a beauty!
Thank you, Ted, it's one of my favorites!
Phil
wow ! beautiful.
😊
Love it - I’m gonna make one!
Fantastic, Paully, go for it and good luck! 😊
I do like that turn thanks for sharing
You are welcome, John, and thank you for watching and commenting!
I really enjoy watching you do and describe your work. Talking through your thought process as you go is a bonus (as well as mentioning lathe speeds and tool size) that's super valuable. I like working with weird pieces and finding out what is inside that wants to get out. I'm a year into the hobby and you've helped me a lot. Thanks very much!.
Awesome! Thank you, Al! 😊
Phil you are such a patient man and your skill level goes off the chart .. I love your dry humor and how you get the viewers to think and participate with the project .. Ive been turning for nearly 5 months.. My passion is deep in me so cheers from Sydney Australia and stay safe :)
Thank you, Glenn! I understand about your passion. This hobby can get a hold on you, for sure! 😊
Great bowl
😊
Turned out to be a wonderful piece Phil thanks to your skills. I love all the inclusions & how well they finished & enhanced the final design. Look forward to viewing more of your wonderful 'work'. Cheers, Don.
This one is kind of an oldie but I still like it. I'm glad you do too, Don, thank you! 😊
Outstanding
😊
Fantastic turning Phil! I'll go check his channel out too.
😊
Nice work on the bowl Phil. Right nice grain and color. Great shape.
Great video and project. Enjoying your humor.
Magnificent!
Thank you, Michael! 😊
That was awesome, and the result very pleasing to the eye. I couldn't stop watching lol, I haven't turned anything since I was at school , many many moons ago but now I am inspired.
I was like you, Rad, hadn't turned since 7th grade, now I can't stop! Hahaha... Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated! Phil
That is awesome, gonna try to find a piece of wood and make something similar.
Thank you, Red, and I wish you the best of luck with yours. It's a different approach than most of what we see and it's hard to make a mistake because of all the nature in the piece that hides our whoopsies. :)
What a beautifull bowl love it !
It is a favorite of mine as well, Steve. Thank you very much!
Phil
Phil, I look forward to your relaxed experimental FUN projects...Life is enjoyable when were having fun...Keep it coming , 30 min. of fun...GREAT JOB PHIL...tm
Fun, fun, fun, Tuffy! Thank you for your day-brightener!
Thank you very much for the shoutout Phil, that was very kind of you! I like how you asked if I was paying attention to how you were hollowing the bowl, I got a good kick out of that lol
This bowl came out amazing! You somehow were able to get a great shape to it, while at the same time still preserving and displaying the beautiful grain inside. When you put the finish on it my jaw dropped. Fruit woods so often have such lovely figure. I also like how you sealed the bark off and made it look like it's wet, that really brings it to life and makes it pop out. The way the raw wood is exposed all around the top until it meets that one branch where the bark is still wrapped over it is a wicked feature as well. This is one of those pieces that once you pick it up, you almost can't put it down because it's got so much to find with all the twists, undulations, and figure. It's just a great piece in all aspects my friend.
It looks like you had many of the same struggles turning this as I did in my last couple Chokecherry turnings. Low speed, out of balance, softer areas, and just to make it fun, a nice branch sticking straight out at you just to throw some extra end grain in the mix lol I really like the sand-o-flex device you have as well, looks like it works really well on projects like this.
Thanks again for all the kind words you said about me Phil, I really appreciate that! I always enjoy your relaxed and humorous style Phil, and am looking forward to your next video.
Safe and happy turning to you,
Kyler
"This is one of those pieces that once you pick it up, you almost can't put it down because it's got so much to find with all the twists, undulations, and figure."
That, Kyler, is exactly how I feel when I have the opportunity to turn a piece like this, and judging how others handle those pieces, it's a common reaction. I just wish I had more of this kind of thing to turn.
I don't know what I would do without my Sand-o-Flex sanders. They save so much work and make so many pieces doable that wouldn't be without them.
You will have many kind words coming your way. I truly believe YOU are the future of woodturning and UA-cam. I am envious of your talents and youth. I know you won't waste them.
Can't wait to see what you turn next!
Phil
madronawoodworks That's another thing I enjoy about woodturning. That we get to work on such odd pieces of wood, and we can just work away until we find something beautiful in them. A piece like you did in this video for example; people probably wouldn't know how you did it because we are so used to seeing furniture and construction when we think of wood......so they would be drawn in by both the shape and beauty of the grain, AND the mystery! I've had people at art/craft shows ask if I steam bend the wood to make the natural edge bowls lol but that always gives me a chance to explain how it was made, and what woodturning can involve.
You're a very kind man Phil, and I really appreciate all the support. You were one of first people who welcomed me and began commenting when I first started my channel. I'm not sure how much my channel will grow, but I'm very grateful to have made some good friends through these videos.
Take care and happy turning!
Kyler
Stunning work again I’m going to give that a try iv got a old branch of scotch pine a bit on the punky side much the same shape cheers Phil 👌👌
Thank you very much, Brian! Good luck with yours, punkiness can cause it's own problems, like getting a good hold. I hope your piece offers at least that chance to turn your own!
Phil
Real nice stuff your work is amazing and beautiful love the way u put it all in one keep up the top work love to watch your videos all the best kirk from stoke on trent
Thanks Phil.
You're welcome, Tom.
Enjoyed watching you turn this one very much Phil. Beautiful colours & finish. It’s all in the preparation for sure, and your patience paid off. Definitely made the right decision by removing the branch stub. Fruit wood certainly has some interesting character hiding within & you exposed it perfectly.
Happy turning from the UK.
Geof
Thank you for your great comment, Geof, and for continuing to watch. I truly appreciate your time!
Phil, that bowl is absolutely wonderful. Awesome job 😎
Thank you, Robert, for taking your time to watch and comment, truly appreciated!
Phil, Enjoy all of your performances, man a newby can learn a lot just sitting back and enjoying the show. Hell you inspired me to buy a jet lathe just love it and your experiences. this piece was just BEAUTIFUL. Keep swinging another home run is coming down the PIKE.
Wow, thanks, Don! I like this one quite a bit, as well. Wish I had more wood like this to start with. Thank you for your great comment, truly appreciated!
Oh, I forgot. You got a Jet lathe? Cool! Glad it's working out for you!
I love turning unusual shapes wood too an like to try different things from the norm. That you turned has great form and colour. I've never turned plum before but will definitely try some.
Yes, if you can get your hands on some plum, I think you will enjoy turning it. Lots of figure and color and not too bad on the chisel. Thank you for watching and commenting, much appreciated! Phil
Yep. There you go again Phil. Top job & a good video again too 👍. Jim.
Thanks again, Jim! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
Phil
That is one cracking bowl, very nice job.
Thank you so much, Andy, I truly appreciate that!
Phil
Hi Phil,
Now this piece I really like,,,,no flat areas! LOL
Thanks for the video,,,
Tom
OK, OK, never again, Tom! LOL! Glad you like this one, it was fun to do. Thank you for continuing to watch and comment, very much appreciated!
Phil if you like the square look it doesn't matter if me or anyone else likes it!
Turn pieces that you like or you won't like to be turning!
Tom
What a neat design! Love this and love the wood!
Thank you very much, Carol!
Just beautiful.
Thank you, Alan, so glad you like it!
Great beautiful bowl...
How nice of you, Milagrostq!
Brilliant, Phil....
Thank you so much, Ian!
Was soll ich sagen. Sehr schön 😜👍
Danke, das sagt genug! 😊
so beautiful. I love it .a lot of work but it's worth it.
I'm so glad you like it, Jose! Your comment means a lot to me, thank you!
Phil
Phil, great piece. I like to do that type of turning myself.
Thank you, Garth! Yes, it's fun, isn't it! I just wish I had more of this type of wood around. Odd shapes are always more fun. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Wow what an amazing piece again !!! I really like this sanding tool that you use on the drill I have never sheen something like that before !
Thank you, Kostas! Yes, that tool saves me hours and does a great job.
Phil
Great job Phil, you produce some very nice pieces👍👍👍 and yes I agree with you that Ky is an excellent turner.
Look forward to your next one.
Thank you, Mark! I'm glad we have Ky as inspiration. I only wish I had his tool control.
Beautiful!
Still one of my faves, James, thanks!
Agree with ya about Woodturner Ky, A very talented young man, and a pleasure to be a subscriber of his,
but that's not why I'm commenting, That's a beautiful piece you turned, as well, he has inspired me to research
other wood types and and their grain's..Have a good day..
I know Kyler has a great, long future in woodturning. He is a welcome addition to UA-cam. Thank you, Cynthia, for watching and commenting, much appreciated!
Great video. Very bold and original. I really like it!
I'm so glad you like it, Nancy! Thank you for taking your time to let me know!
Phil
O my .....you are amazing!!!!!👍👍👍👍🎉🎉
Another one of my favorites. We like the same things! Thank you!
Phil
fascinating work, and very pretty
I'm so glad you like it, RB! Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment!
Phill that is truly stunning,I really enjoy your videos mate they always give me inspiration.keep up the good work.
Thank you so much, Les! This is still a favorite of mine.
Phil
Hello from Liverpool in England!
Beautiful
Thank you so much, Irene!
Looks good !!!
Thank you, Ronnie!
great job phil love the piece. bit of a tip for you if you have a carbide drill bit and use the shaft to raise the burr it is much better as your tool is hss and carbide is stronger hope this helps use it all the time
Glad to know you know how to raise the burr. Sure saves a lot of steel and is quicker than grinding, too. Thank you for watching and commenting, much appreciated!
Hi Phil - just going over some older videos as I still sit around recuperating from the surgery (taking much longer than I thought!) I came across this video of yours that I do not recall viewing before and thought it still appropriate to give you kudos on another fine piece. Your videos have helped me get through this long downtime in my shop - thanks so much for all of your postings!
Stay safe - have you had your second shot yet? Unfortunately my government has really dropped the ball procuring vaccine and as a result I am probably looking at fall before vaccine will be available for me. Regards - Dennis
Sorry about the long recuperation, Dennis. I know you want to get back to that shiny new lathe! My second shot is scheduled in another couple weeks. I'm hearing a lot of folks here, too, that are having a hard time getting the vaccine. I guess I got lucky. My health care provider sent me a link, I scheduled, walked in and walked out, no waiting, no hassle. I hope the second shot is the same experience.
That's pretty
Thanks, Dave! 😊
Like your style man. Great vid!
Thank you, Skellez83! Your comment means a lot to me!
Phil
Wow another cool project. That is such a beautiful piece of wood and a great job of finding the shape you did. Your work is amazing and I enjoy watching them.
Your work has inspired me to try different types of turnings. And I have some wood set aside for when my new lathe gets here. It will allow me to turn much slower than my current lathe. Plus a much larger diameter.
I also have been inspired by Woodturner Ky to turn things I have not tried before.
You both do incredible work.
Nice work Phil!
Gary
Thank you so much, Gary! I'm so glad you feel inspired. I think that is what most of us creators hope for. I know that is why I continue to watch videos, to learn, get ideas and be inspired.
A new lathe coming your way? That is a great feeling! When I got this one the first thing I noticed was all the technology that had improved over the 50 years since my last lathe was built. It was always fun to turn, but now it's easier to concentrate on the content rather than the limitations.
Yes, Kyler is the future of woodturning and UA-cam and watchers are in good hands.
Thank you for your great comment and continuing to watch, Gary, much appreciated!
My current lathe is a Jet 1442 with the Reeves drive system. It is a decent lathe and pretty heavy. I just am ready for some bells and whistles. I am waiting on the Laguna Revo 1836. It is supposed to be here today. Ha!
I noticed in some of you old videos that they might have done in the Pacific Northwest .
I live near Portland myself. I was able to make it to the 2018 AAW Symposium as we had a trip planned.
I look forward to your new videos and more great ideas.
Gary
Ah, yes, Reeves drive. That is what my old Delta 12 x 36 had. I made a lot of cool stuff on that, but I'm sure enjoying reverse and variable speed and more power.
That Revo 1836 is what I thought I would get, also. I researched and researched, watched videos, all the assembly videos, etc. Then a local Jet dealer advertised my $3,000 lathe for 2 grand and I couldn't pass it up. My opinion is they are very similar. I know you will enjoy turning on your new Laguna!
I live in Bonney Lake, WA, so yeah, not too far away.
Hope to see you shooting some videos and showing off your new lathe, soon!
Well that is my plan. As soon as I get it and set it up.
Bonnie Lake wow does that bring back memories. Back in 1968 when I returned from a year in Vietnam I was stationed at Ft. Lewis. I recall going to Puyallup and seeing the sign to Bonnie Lake.
So a Big Howdy to you from Garden Home Oregon. AKA unincorporated Portland
I got some wood today that was from a Tulip Poplar. There is one piece you would love. I have no idea what to do with it but I will see what happens.
Looking forward to the Tulip Poplar project!
Very pretty piece. I have had problems with plum wood splitting -a lot - when I have turned it before it was fully dry. I'd love to see a follow-up on this one to see how it holds up over the next couple of months.
If you can remember to ask me about it in a couple months, David, I will be sure to tell you if it cracks. It's been about a week now and no signs of it, but the first piece I turned when wet cracked within a couple days. Hope it holds together!
Good Morning, David! You asked how this was holding up after a couple of months and I actually remembered to answer you! I just looked it over, it still has a prominent place in the house. Much to my surprise, and possibly yours, there has been no cracking, at all. It looks just like the day it was finished. As I recall, this piece had been cut and drying for about six months before I turned it. Some of the same plum wood that is still drying has cracked as it dries, even though the ends of the wood have been treated. Maybe I just got lucky, but so far, so good!
Phil
Phil that is a stunning bowl I like it a lot.
Thank you very much, Kobie! It remains of favorite of mine, as well.
Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated!
Phil
Nice 👍 result on a cranky piece, my only criticism is perhaps the wings could have been thinner,but what the hell 👹 who am I to pick fault. Well done .🦖
If I was honest, Arturo, I would probably agree with you about thickness. I think I intended to remove more from the top side than I did and it looked pretty good with a sideways view on the lathe. However, I also like to show as much bark as I can, so it's just kind of a balancing act.
Thank you for watching and your great comment! Phil
The Master
Haha, thank you! 😊
Enjoyed!!!!
Thank you for your comment, Russell!
Very very nice job my friend 👍🏼🍻
Thank you for continuing to watch and comment, Tomas!
WoW! Thank you for showing us how you did this beautiful piece. It gives me some ideas. What is the tool you use for sanding? I just can’t find something like that
Thank you, Denis! The tool is called Sand-O-Flex by Merit Industries. I don't see them in stores at all, anymore. They used to be common in the 70's and 80's when I sold them when working in a hardware store. Now, I only see them on eBay. I have bought several there, along with the refills, but you have to persevere if you want to get a good price.
I'm glad you have gained some ideas. Best wishes on realizing them!
Phil
madronawoodworks Thanks
Howdy Phil....always like to do plumb , have not yet ...people I know has a tree that they are going to take down and give the wood to me ....the colors in the wood is so excotic looking to me .Yours is a fine fine piece . You did such a nice job . Do you have anymore plumb wood ?
I have 2 black cherry " Y " shape , one very large , be able to cut it down the middle make 2 , probably turn a sink from one of them , 1 much smaller
Hi Bruce! I do have some more plum but most of it is larger and I have to wait longer for it to dry.
Funny you should mention a Y shape piece of cherry. I was just looking at some of my wood today and saw one, also! I thought of turning it whole because it's not all that thick, maybe three inches, maybe a little more. But, yeah, if I could cut it in half I could make two whatevers! Great idea! I'll have to see if it's big enough. Yours sound MUCH larger so now you've made me envious... Haha!
Skvělá práce
Díky
Just a thought. . . you could have used the tenon as your foot, that would have worked nice. Very interesting piece of are.
Yes, I suppose you could do that, Don. In this case, the tenon is only three inches and I don't think that would have supported the off-balance weight of this piece. But yes, it some cases that would work great. Thank you for watching and commenting, much appreciated!
Phil. I am in awe of your turning skills. The end results are beautiful. Love watching your videos. Is the shellac diluted or is it right from the can? Tom
Thank you so much, Tom! I use Zinsser Seal Coat for my sanding sealer and Zinsser shellac for the final finish. Both come ready to use out of the can.
