- I seldom have a piece of wood that would make a good closed form. Of these two, I chose one and then decided on the shape. I'm very please with the outcome. What's your guess? Finished in Feed & Wax.

I've been watching or rewatching your videos with my 4.5 year old. She loves the "saw dust clouds" and always asks me why you're painting (applying finishes). She recognizes some of the tools you use, watching me in the basement.
Tonight, she was happy to see this transform into a "honey pot". Thank you Phil. ❤
I love this, Christopher, thank you! 😊
I don’t know how many times I have heard the “boring” until it got it today. 😂😂😂 really sneaky that one!
Haha, thanks for the chuckle, Sam! 😊
The grains, the colors, but mostly that crack! A winning piece. Love how you worked that crack till it was the star of the show.
I'm so glad, thank you! 😊
My wife and I really enjoy watching your videos, we relax after work before diner, you never disappoint with your finished piece.👍🏻
That is awesome! Thanks to both of you, I appreciate you spending some time with me! 😊
Tea in the morning Phil
😃
The crack is magnificent. Lighted on a shelf would be perfect!
😃
Another absolutely amazing piece. The knot makes a cat and that crack is just beautiful. We love it!
😊
Peek-a-boo i see that light. That little bowl has so much character Phil just like you!😂
Thanks, Kid! 😃
Love it! Another beauty!!! If the knot ever comes loose and you lose it in a future bowl turning, you can call it a knitter’s bowl. Knitters use the hole to feed the yarn through which helps to prevent the balled yarn from tangling as they knit. 😁
Great idea! 😃
I knew which one you were going to pick. Thanks Phil for another Thursday night. Just a beauty. See you next week
😃
Another Masterpiece from the Anderson stable. Absolutely Brilliant, Phil.
Thank you, Cliff! 😃
Very nice, Phil!
Now all you need is a flute and a Cobra! 😁
LOL! Yup, I really need a Cobra slithering around here! 😃
You can call it bowl, a bean pot, a hollow form. I'll say it's a Phil Form! Well done, as always.
That works, thanks, Crystal! 😃
Your piece has a happy face. The crack is a crooked smile and where you picked the bark out is the two eyes😂😂😂
Cool, thanks, Mike! 😃
At 50 seconds I I knew it would be Mullberry…. Now to watch the rest of the video!
😃
In Australia we call this kind of wood "Binna", binna tree but now it's wood! A very pretty piece Phil, thank you once again for sharing.
Interesting, thanks, John! 😃
The before and after, wow.
Good eye Phil.
I love the cockeyed smile it has.
💜🙏
Thank you, Beth! 😃
Oh! The lighting of the crack on the turntable?!? Woah!
Amazing work!
Thanks, Kell! 😃
Wow that looks so cool Phil. Before I forget at the bottom of the crack it looks like there. I can see the ears and the shape of its face.
Ok now back to the piece. Speaking of the cat and the crack the crack is my favorite part. Although it all looks amazing.
Way to keep the nature in a piece of ????? wood.
Great job my friend,
Gary
Thank you, Gary! Seems lots of people see the cat! 😃
I agree papa, definitely a cars face.
Cats face
Really enjoyed this one, Phil. Now, having said that, I don’t mean to say that I didn’t enjoy previous efforts. Love the grain and the shape. Well done, Sir. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it, Hubert, thanks for watching! 😃
I know one thing for sure,I can’t pick a favorite side. If I had to choose it would have to be the crack,
A pleasure as always.😊
Good choice! Thanks, George! 😃
No matter which way you look at it, it's cool and unique. Nice colors and the grain is cool. Stay dry and warm Phil.
Thanks, Bryan! 😊
Hey Phil. I have been turning mushrooms, twig pots, mice with leather ears and tails ( mostly craft items) and handles for tools. I'm a disabled veteran taking on hobbies. I just want to let you know that i really enjoy your videos. Trying to keep up with your passed vids keeps me busy.
Busy is good, Gerard! I really appreciate the time you spend with me, thank you so much! 😊
Howdy, Howdy! Hot dog! That's a nice wood turning Phil. I like it.
😃
love all the character this piece has. makes me think of sunny autumn walk in the forest.
😃
Kind of like the head of the kat on the Knott. Another great job Phil! God Bless you sir.
A lot of people saw the cat, Bob! 😃
Closed form maybe I think it is a beautiful bowlvas. Yes you created a new word. Love the shapes and forms you come up with. Have a great week Phil. Dan
Thanks a lot, Dan! 😊
I love the fact that you leave your pieces natural, I absolutely love the grain on this one, beautiful work as always Phil
Me too, thank you! 😃
Again, you have done a great job Phil. I enjoy your videos. Keep it up.
Thanks, Paul, will do! 😊
Another stunning piece... I love the illusion of cat ears by the crack
Cool, thanks, Victoria! 😃
That is gorgeous! You did it again! I see a German Shepherd face by the crack.😊😊
😃
Waaaaaaouuu. So perdy, Phil! The top reminds me of vases from the 1st century (though not as tall). Trez joli. Very pretty. We have meringue-like snow cover on the branches here. Wish I could post a pic of the view I have at the moment. Winter-wonderland. Was watching ELVIS on Netflix, but paused to watch your video. Can you hear Elvis singing Oh Little Town of Bethlehem... ? I have it playing on UA-cam Elvis would be turning 89 in January. I wonder what he'd say about the world today...
Have a great week, Phil.
⛸🎄☃
Love me some Elvis, Red! I got to see him in concert in 1970. My very first concert and it was a doozy! 😃
Love all the imperfections, makes it unique. We'll done again
😃
Hi Phil I think any view of this piece is beautiful. I still don't think you ruined the piece last week, I liked it anyway.
Take care bud
Bob
😃
Another lovely bowl, Phil. Toni and I both spotted the 🐱 at the same time. Best wishes always.
Much appreciated! 😃
Butternut,butternut, ahhhhh.still awesome. Beautiful
😃
Good evening, Phil.
I love it! Glad you chose that piece to turn this time. Hollowing takes a lot of time the way it looks. I think I might be ready to give it a try. You did a great job of showing how it's done. A beautiful piece for sure. Your evening meal sounded good. Stay warm my friend.
It does take some time and patience, Ray. Slow and easy, don't get too aggressive and you will be fine. Thank you! 😊
There are lots of images and contrasts to allow my imagination to wander and explore. I like the crack and the colors surrounding it. You never disappoint your fans. I’m sure the wood piece speaks to you about what it would like to be in the end.🎉
This one sure did, Betsy. Thank you! 😃
Доброго времени суток Фил. Мне очень нравится Ваш канал. Мне очень нравится то, что Вы делаете. Сегодня, как всегда, очень хороший кувшин. Даже естественные изъяны и сучки его не портят. Они добавляют ему особенный шарм. Мне очень нравится то, что Вы делаете. Спасибо за видео.
Мне нравятся ваши комментарии, спасибо, что нашли время посмотреть и прокомментировать меня. Это многое значит для меня! 😃
Hi Phil
Beautifull hollow form it stayed together even with that big crack great job
Thanks David and Maria
Gad you two like it, thank you! 😊
Phil. One word beautiful. And I love the light in it showing the cracks
😃
Hi 👋, Phil from Phil , that sure is a great looking 👀 piece, it looks like there is a red squirrel when you look at the side where the crack is, it’s a lovely piece of art, i’m not sure whether I said last week, but I’ve made a very very long and large scraper. Come boring to, I should be able to hollow out at least 24 to 30 inches in depth, this could be exciting, but very very dangerous 😂,
Keep up the great work. Stay safe. , I hope you’re keeping well, And it sounds like you’ve got winter setting in like what I’ve got here, no snow, but plenty of rain, Phil from the moulin,
That does sound dangerous without the aid of some other mechanical device. Careful, Phil! 😃
Beautiful work Phil, as usual! Again showing us how hard work and patience ( all the work on that crack) pays off and end up with a gorgeous piece. Thanks for sharing Phil 😊
Thank you, Guy! 😊
🙋♂️🏴 Hi Phil I think I would call it a vase, and it's my favourite piece so far, fantastic colour, grain pattern and shape. I imagine it feels brilliant when cupped in your hands. Got no idea of the wood but it's beautiful. Thanks Phil.
It really does feel great, John, though kind of hard to hold because it's so slippery! 😃
Another beauty! Love that you left the knot and the crack. Thanks for another inspiring video.
Thanks, Doug! 😊
Phil, hi.
Good morning from Far North Queensland.
I love this piece and can just about see an animal face in the wood!
I love your videos, so thank you for the inspiration.
Cheers, Carol 😊
Awesome! Thank you, Carol! 😊
This last one did turn out so very well I liked the other one you did you didn’t ruin it I liked that one too you are truly an artist at the lath Phil ❤
Than you kindly, Wendy! 😃
Great result, Phil. The see-through crack makes the piece.
😃
I think this is my favourite too, it's gorgeous. I see a Siamese cat in that knot.
You have lots of company for the cat, Heather! 😊
I vote for mulberry. I've turned mulberry bowls and kitchen spoon holders that look just like that. Nice job.
😃
Great shape and love the contrasting colours, crack and knots, well done Phil.
All the best to you.
Regards Jim
Thank you, Jim! 😊
And I don't even think it was a mess up...lol I liked it.
😃
Beautiful piece. I noticed that the small knot has ears at the top. So much fun
It does! Thanks, Judith! 😊
Perfect Phil i love to turn like you with cracks and bark .. Gives the job character.
😃
Looks like a cat view is the best. Beautiful.
😃
Ooh that's a gorgeous piece Phil, I shall have a look through the comments to see if it was mulberry or not. Definitely got your mojo back with this one. 👍👏
Haha, thank you, Jude! 😊
Beautiful! I like the Siamese cat side!
I'm glad you didn't get flooded. It rained like crazy here in Seattle!
Haven't seen that much rain in years, Judy! 😃
A lovely, graceful form that fits the piece, very well. Congratulations.
Thank you very much! 😊
Oh my, what a unique and lovely piece! Who can pick a favorite view on a piece like that?
😃
Grea turning Phil I see two eyes with a big smile😂
😃
It's beautiful I would have bet good money that you have turned that piece first how could you resist all that natural beauty
You would have won, Ray! 😃
Another beauty of a bowl and to me it looks happy with a big grin on it, well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
😃
Really nice, Phil. I can’t say which is my favorite view because I like all of them.
Bill
😃
From fire wood to art..excellent phil
😃
That's a lovely piece Phil! Wonderful grain and l love, love, love the Crack!
Thank you, Karen! 😊
Another very good learning experience for me Phil. I stopped the video and watched your piece on negative rake scrapers and learned even more. If only I would have enjoyed learning like this when I was in school, I might have amounted to something. Tsk tsk.
Haha, I'm right there with you, John! We should play when we are young and go to school when we are old! 😃
Beautiful. I think the shape is perfect. Thanks again for sharing with your UA-cam family
😃
A very, very nice small open hollow form! Beautiful wood with lovely grain.
Thank you very much, Dave! 😃
I agree with the mulberry . Gorgeous piece , you got this one right on.
Thank you, Steve! 😃
Nature is the greatest artist . . .
😃
Very interesting grain and yes the contrast with light and darker wood makes for an eye catching piece, good job Phil. 😁
Thank you, Lewis! 😃
Absolutely stunning Phil.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw
Mornin', Huw and thanks! 😃
I think it's very pretty Phil. Good job buddy
Thanks, John! 😊
Phil what a great job there my friend it really turned out beautiful. Well done.
Thank you kindly, Alan! 😊
I love the crack. Brilliant hollow form
Thank you, David! 😊
That is a very interesting grain pattern along the crack. It looks like a cut that didn't heal. Love the incloseded rim too.
Thank you so much, Sue! 😊
Wonderful Phil a true visionary! Bravo! ❤❤❤
Thank you, Marilyn! 😃
Another piece of art Phil. The grain is lovely and using the feed n wax as the finish was nice. Just love the use of nature in all your work. Truly inspirational. Thanks
Many thanks, Colin! 😃
Top job Phil, love the natural crack side, it's a grand shape though, we hope you enjoyed your home made fish n chips, also hope the weather weren't to bad. All the best from -5 frosty Lincolnshire UK
😃
Lovely grain, fantastic colour contrasts, and the crack just makes it. The shape too is great - from quite early on I could see where it wanted to go and was just waiting and watching as you brought it out. As you say, it would have been a shame if that knot had come loose. Carole said she could almost feel the texture from the way the light played on it.
Thank you so much! 😊
what a recovery from last week! gorgeous
😃
I have watched almost all your videos. I just found your channel about a week ago. I’m about to buy my first Lathe and self teach myself. I’ve never done it before but I’m fascinated by it. I’ve watched many turning videos and find yours to be my favorite. Mainly because you talk and talk as if I’m standing right there with you. Any advice or anything would be greatly appreciated. Love your work brother!!!
Awesome, thank you, Chris! 😊 Well, lots of advice, I guess. I don't know how far into "about to buy my first lathe" you are, so I don't know where to start. I can tell you, I learned to turn by watching videos, just as you are doing. Hundreds of videos, hundreds of hours and lots of practicing what I had learned. Lots of pieces flying off the lathe and huge catches along the way. I almost gave up. I'm glad I didn't!
Lol thank you Phil. I’m glad your didn’t give up as well. I will be getting one in the next month or two. I’m sure I’m going to have stuff flinging all over the place for sure😂. I will continue to watch your videos and learn from you for sure. Your awesome.
Beautiful turning Phil.
Thank you, Jack! 😊
I've learned a lot by watching your videos. Amazing work!
Happy to hear that, Dana, thank you! 😊
Delightful! Wonderful save on the crack😊 A pleasure to watch, thank you Phil . Oh, and you chose the wood piece we wanted ... thanks for listening 😅
Good to know, Joanna! Thank you! 😃
Phil, when I look at the knot and the crack on the right side l see a bat and the crack is his wing in flight. Also he has two bat ears coming out of the top of the knot. Thanks for the video I always appreciate your work. Scott
Quite the imagination there, Scott! 😃
That's gorgeous Phil, absolute beauty that one :)
😃
Love it! The crack - beautiful! Thanks😊😊
😃
Hi Phil, A really beautiful piece, it looks like English Yew, probably not but certainly looks that way.
Thanks, Neil! 😃
What a gorgeous bowl...love the character!
Thank you, Carol! 😊
It is gorgeous! Above the lower crack there are two black eyeballs and there appears to be a bump just below them, which looks like a nose. Maybe its a brown bear. 😂
Grrrrowl! 😃
It's a jar, Phil. Nice one too.
😃
An Outstanding work of art sir, love the crack. I like the profile a lot, it works well with that kind of wood, what ever it is...lol Thanks for sharing with us this beautiful piece of work.🌿 👍👍👍
Awesome, thank you, Rob! 😊
That is beautiful Phil. So, so nice!
😃
Very Beautiful piece Phil! Love the shape ya made it, I think my favorite side is where that knot is and that big long crack, the big knot beside it looks like a cat head, the left ear is easy to see but the right ear is a little faint, but I see a cat head in it when ya spin it around, the wood kinda reminds me of locusts but not totally, Enjoyed the video 👍
Yup, lots of people see the cat, Kimsey. I didn't but now I do! Thanks, buddy! 😊
Beautiful work Phil!
Thank you! 😃 Cheers!
I think it's Mulberry too. Love the contrast between hard and sapwood
Thanks, Tim! 😃
Hi Phil , I thought you would pick that piece ! You're not a round blank kind of guy . Nice work Phil . Al
😃
That might be my new favorite.
Thanks, Greg! 😃
An absolute beauty Phil! So very cool. Well done and take care.
Thank you! 😃
