River Birch 👀 BUBBLE TOP 👀 Hollow Form! - Wood Turning
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лип 2024
- I thought I was going to turn an ordinary natural edge bowl. As I turned the piece, I saw a more interesting form developing. It was a whole lot more work but I'm really loving the end result! Finished in shellac.

😊
The hollow form was an excellent choice. To me, it looks like a box turtle.
😃
thank you Phil ! and thank you Dave.
😊
It's about time you did something different. Good to see something that challenged your mind. Love to see this. Keep up with the different things that shows your still thinking . Great turning!
Appreciate it, Mark! 😊
A neighbor gave me a pile of river birch I stored on the lower deck for several months. When I finally got back to it I found some highly patterned spalting in the wood, best Ive ever seen. Maybe one day you will luck onto some.
Sounds great, Gary! 😊
It sort of reminds me of a turtle shell. I can also just imagine a bird family loving to nest in it while it hangs vertically somewhere. They could show off the "open floor" plan to all their friends. 😂 This one is really nice Phil. I think you did a great job.
Thank you, Marjie! 😊
It looks like a turtle. Always a pleasure to watch you work and make something out of fire wood.
Thank you, Niels! 😊
Big ole turtle shell. Lovin it. 💜🙏
Yup! 😃
That hollow form has a lot of character
😃
I am so glad you went with hollow form on this. So much beauty in the top! Wonderful job, such a joy to watch.
Glad you like it, thank you! 😊
Beautiful creation Phil. I really enjoy watching your work and seeing your positive attitude. I always get a laugh out of the way you talk to us like we are there with you. Again you do Beautiful work.
You mean you aren't here? Oh dear, now what? 😊
@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop lol. You are a great entertainer Phil.
Boy!! That turned out great Phil! I was skeptical at first. Lots of patience and TLC to get that one to the end in one piece. Well done, Phil!
Thank you, Scott! 😊
I love it so much!! I was screaming "hollow form!" Lol😅 You clearly heard me Phil! Thats just beautiful. And as far as usefullness, a shorter boquet or just a potpourri holder! I would love for that to be on display in my home. Thanks Phil!
Thank you, I definitely heard you! 😊
The Bubbleisious bowl... Love it
Haha, I like that! 😊
Beautiful hollow form, Phil. 😊😊 and you can’t go wrong with the number one hollower. 😊😊
Thank you! 😃
HOLLOW IT PHILL!!
I'm on it! 😊
Доброго времени суток, Фил. Когда, я увидел Вашу заготовку, я подумал:-"Фил повторяется". Но нет. Вы никогда не повторяетесь. У Вас каждый раз новое изделие. Мне кажется, я бы не взялся за такую заготовку. Огромный старый сучок, внушительная трещина, но это Вас не пугает. Сделали отличный кувшин. После Вашего видео мне самому не страшно браться за такие заготовки. Спасибо за видео, спасибо за науку.
Я так рада, что ты примешь вызов! Это может быть очень полезно. Спасибо! 😊
Not at all what I was expecting when you were showing the wood before turning. Love your surprises!! It's beautiful and interesting! What more can you ask from an art piece. 🤷♂. Cheers, Rick
Thank you, Rick! 😃 Surprised me, too!
Good decision! I agree with the others saying it reminds them of a turtle shell. Beautiful work!
😊
Very good result from an ordinary lump ot wood. Well done, Phil!
Thank you, Richard! 😃
So glad you heard and went along with our suggestion. Another beautiful piece that you gave me a heart attack while making.
Haha, thank you, Mark! 😃
What a great name for a beautiful bowl. Love it Phil.
Thank you, Sue! 😃
Phil. This might have taken you three or four days to make but outcome is just beautiful. You can't beat natural beauty
Agreed, Kim, thank you! 😊
Love the bubble bowl. Glad you saved the compression grain, Phil.
Thanks, Laura! 😊
Thank you, Phil. Beautiful piece.
😊
Looks like a turtle shell...love it Phil as always...
😊
Its amazing what you can make out of what anybody else would have just thrown in the firewood pile. Great job.
Thank you, Jacque! 😊
I love it, you always manage to turn an ugly ducking into a swan, that compression adds to it’s beauty . Merry Christmas and thank you once again .🎄
Thank you, Bev, Merry Christmas! 😊
Phil, I have been making my way through your back catalog, and I am thrilled to see you're still turning. You've likely heard it a thousand times, but your channel is great. Your attitude and enthusiasm are infectious. You're the Bob Ross of woodturning. Be well and have a great new year.
Wow, thanks, Nathan! 😊
Love love love this bubble bowl
Yay! 😊
Looks like a bowl made from a turtle 🐢 shell. I like that you saved the compression grain.
Turtle is a popular comment, Rick and I didn't even see it but I do now! 😊
Wow, a pleasure as always. 😊What a super nice piece.
Thank you so much 😃
I would call it just beautiful Phil, I love the design and finish. Thank you. Graham UK

Really like the top on this one. Nature rules. Nice job Phil..
Thanks, Allen! 😊

Howdy waaay over there! 😃
Nice save on taking the nub off. Haven’t see you move that fast to shut it down. I really like this turning. Just a cool looking piece of art. I would place it on a shelf to enjoy. The compression grain is very unique. I like it.
Thanks for the show.
Joel
Yeah, I should have stopped when I noticed half the nub missing, dang it! Thanks, Joel! 😊
Nice work of art sir. The profile turned out great, a beautiful piece indeed. I thought it was going to fly away at the end. Thanks for the post, enjoyed it a lot.🌿 🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸
Thank you, Rob! 😊

Turtle shell bowl!

Thank you, Andy, glad you enjoyed it! Take good care, my friend! 😊
What a nice way to feature the grain compression🤩
Thank you, Scott! 😊
That turned out beautifully. Thanks
Thank you, Garth! 😊
Oh boy did you ever make the right choice on this one Phil! But your well tuned eagle eyes were not going to miss the beauty on the top half. Simply amazing looking Especial the compression grain WOW.
Hard to improve on what nature left on the top side.
So cool and I really love it.
Now to dig through my pile where I know there is a piece of River Birch.
I am afraid it will have to sit and wait. Hope it is not too long.
Take care,
Gary
I've got more of this if you're unsuccessful in your search..... I do know your address. 😉😁
Thank you, buddy! Yeah, I dang near turned all that away! Thank goodness I had just got a cup of coffee and was just standing there, studying it. Merry Christmas, my friend! 😃
I know when I get it flipper around I am thinking time to get rid of all that wood. Thank goodness for coffee LOL
Merry Christmas my friend,
Gary
What an interesting piece! Well done!
Glad you like it! 😊
thanks for posting, just what was needed. An uplifting video with a happy ending! Love the bowl. Hollow form is artwork indeed. cheers.
Thank you, I'm glad it helped! 😊
That turned out really cool ...
😊
This is true art. I love it!
Thanks, Glen! 😊
Enjoyed the video. I was glad you decided to undercut the inside. As a side note, I watched one of your older videos where you gave a tour of your shop and found out that we are almost neighbors. I live in north Lake Tapps. (Your privacy will be respected.)
Cool, thanks for telling me that, Steven! I know people watch from all over the world but I've always been curious if anyone around here watches! Howdy, neighbor! 😃
Absolutely gorgeous...love the top!
Cool, me too, thanks, Carol! 😊
I glad you kept the compression wood on the top p of this piece of art. It's absolutely beautiful.
Thank you, Jean, I'm glad you like it! 😊
Hi Phil this River Birch piece of wood is gorgeous I really love the grain in it. I like the history of this piece of wood. You certainly are a masterwoodturner and a talented craftsman, I like how you come up with what to turn tne piece of wood into. This bubble bowl is magnificent and unique well done. Take care of yourself from Amanda xx
Thank you so much, Amanda! Have a great weekend! 😊
UNIQUE ! LOVE IT !
Thank you, Ola! 😊
Beautiful Bubble Bowl! 😊
Thanks, Maria! 😊
Love it Phil - beautiful bowl - great to watch!
Thank you! 😊
Nice as always. You say a bubble bowl, i think it looks like a turtle!
It does! 😊
Amazingly gorgeous.
Thank you! 😊
That is top notch, I really love the shape and the fact you left the compression grain there. Great work sir.
Cool, thank you, Dale! 😊
Love it…could you hear me telling you “Yep…make a hollow form”..???….lol…very cool result…I agree with some of the other comments…looks like a turtle shell…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I heard you, Loraine, loud and clear! 😊
Phil nice. Thank You
😊
Looks great. Another change of plans that turned out great!!!
I think so too! 😊
I don't think that I'd call it a bubble bowl. I'd just calll it lovely! Merry Christmas, my friend!
Thank you, Kathleen, Merry Christmas! 😊
Beautiful hollow form.
Thank you, Dianne! 😃
I love it!! I can picture it hanging on the wall with racoons or birds peeping out if it. Great job.
Haha, sounds cool, Sue! 😊
Well worth your effort Phil.G
Thanks, George! 😊
Glad you chose to keep the bark and natural grain.
😊
If I had to turn wood that didn't have a crack in it I wouldn't be turning much at all. I wish I had your vision because I have a couple of pieces that I really don't know what to do with. Nice project Phil!
Mount'em up and turn'em, David! Don't spend too much time thinking about it, just get to it! 😊
Larva Bowl - looks like an erupting volcano😜
Yes, it does look like that too, Jim! 😊
Nice bowl ! I think it was smart to keep the compression grain on the top , it’s what everyone is going to look at !
😊
If it had a spout, it would work as a Genie flask. Love the art turning. Thank you.
Thanks, Robert! 😊
Beautiful. Has a boat shape to it.
😊
That's one of the most beautiful turnings I've ever seen. Thank you.
Thank you! 😊
Phil thats beautiful well done
If you put a little tea light candle inside it Phil I bet the grains and shadows inside there will look amazing phil
Oh, good idea, Malcolm! I do have some small battery LED lights that would probably do the trick. 😊
Beautiful hollow form!
Thank you, Madonna! 😊
With a handle it could be Aladdin's Lamp. Or a Sea shell. Really cool. Don't worry about nicks. At my age and yours, we all have a few nicks and that wood is much older than any of us.
True enough, Jeff, thanks! 😊
Wow! Stunning Phil!
Glad you like it, Tina, thank you! 😊
Really great Phil 👍 Loving this bowl ❤️
Thank you very much, Karen! 😊
Tricky one!
Definitely! 😊
Another great turning
😃
Very nice open turning. I agree the compression grain made the piece stand out. Making a hollow form was the right decision, it really turned out great. There was never any doubt!! I was using Old Master sanding sealer, but Zinsser Sanding Sealer far exceeds Old Master. With Old Master cleaning the brushes are a pain in the !!!!!!!. You have to use Acetone solvent to clean up. It is also very thick, With Zinsser you can use Denatured Alcohol. If you need to use a touch up, for a thinner spot just use the brush in the can of cleaner or dip it in the Zinsser Shellac for a thinner cut. I imagine you have done this before but it works for me. KEEP ON TURNING
Thanks for the information! 😊
Spectacular! L'm getting turtle vibes from it.
😊
That came out great I love the compression grain, I think that really makes it unique!
I think so too! Thank you! 😊
Bubble Bowl looks like a Buffalo Eye. Compression Rings complement the eye features. Beautiful turning. Happy Holidays
Thank you! 😊
A very outstanding and inspiring peace
Thank you, Isaiah! 😊
