This turn brought back memories of harvesting butternuts with my grandfather in the Berkshires of Western Mass. I remember looking up into the trees as Grampa would dig around the ground for the delicious nuts. Beautiful wood, beautiful bowl, beautiful memory. Thank you, Phil.
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I’ve had a lot of projects over the years. But I’ve never had the opportunity to try turning wood. You make it look so easy. Thank again
I think the shape is unique and beautifully shows all the different qualities of the wood. Also, as a bowl, very utilitarian with it's handles. Really wonderful.
Send that sap-sucker over here Phil. Yellow-bellied or not. What an interesting piece of wood, and I must say, you've done it proud. Great design, perfect finish. All I've got to do now is find that sap-sucker. Here birdie, here. "Tweet - tweet!" Well turned Phil! Thank you Valerie! :-)
Having watched you and others turn several pieces of butternut, I can't get enough of it. It just has a mellow beauty without having to resort to anything spectacular. I am so glad you took the time to hollow the inside walls to follow the exterior contour. If you hadn't done that I think I would have mailed you my wife. COD! Another beauty, but you have touched little that I wouldn't put in that class. Keep turning.
Yellow bellied sapsucker, yes! That or a red headed pilated sapsucker. We have many types around the area. All love to drill beautiful neat rows of holes through the bark. Sometimes the outer wood underneath will go curly grained from the wounding. Glad you had fun with the piece, and was able to find a shape to play up the bark. To me it will be your hole-y bark butter bowl! 😍
I have the red headed pilated peckers here, too, Valerie. I love when they warn of their arrival. All the other birds leave and he has the suet to himself! Haha, great name for the bowl! 😊
Hi Phil, That is a beautiful bowl and the Yellow Bellied Sap Sucker whish made all those holes is nearly as beautiful itself. Once again Phil you found what mother nature wanted to be seen. Great video. Take care Phil. Cheers, Huw
Hello Phil, or maybe cousin Phil (you never know). I am a woodworker retired but never took a hobby after the fact which I do regret but that’s another story. I recently discovered you here in the wild world web and I thought I should introduce myself and let you know how much I appreciate your personality and your work I watch several videos a day and I enjoy them immensely. Keep up the great work and keep your version of sunshine leaking into our lives. You are a great soul. Ken Anderson
That's a grand little bowl Phil and the grain is just glorious. Thank you to Valerie for ending, to you for sharing and to the yellow-bellied sapsucker for hammering away like a bird possessed. See you soon.
I like the grain in this piece! Two things I really enjoy about your videos is the unusual shapes of the pieces and the great dialogue you present. You obviously are very comfortable talking into the camera. Real home spun and occasional light humor. Please don’t stop. I look forward to all your videos!
I think its remarkable how you approach a piece of wood. To me it seems opposite of what the shape of the wood suggests. Then you come up with these exquisite surprising objects! Bravo!
It is opposite the original shape, most often, Renee. If I was to follow the original shape of many of these, I would turn away the bark and other natural features. The thought of it makes me cringe! 😊
Interesting with the holes in it. Almost like the bird plans it that way. I like the choice of finish. I think it compliments the grain beautifully. Thank you.
Omg that grain is gorgeous! I wasn't sure about the shape at first but it's really growing on me. it seems like the longer I look at it the more I like it 👍
You have inspired me to work with different shapes of wood. This was a maple burl that I kicked around for a year and thought, Phil would do something with this so I may give it a try. My wife said it was the coolest bowl yet.
Yellow-bellied sapsucker yellow-bellied sapsucker yellow-bellied sapsucker yellow-bellied sapsucker 😄 Funny thing: Just this morning while I was walking my dog I noticed a sapsucker-attacked tree that looked like yours -- row after row of holes arranged in neat lines, the rows about an inch apart and covering many feet of the tree's bark. I've seen sapsucker holes before, but never so many on one tree. I love the bowl! I love the shape and the way it shows off a lot of the sapsucker-engineered bark!
I'm one of those guys who prefer a matte finish. So, I was happy to see you use Howard Feed 'n Wax on this bowl. I learned about the Howard product from you (thank you very much) and use it, or a beeswax/mineral oil mixture, most of the time. The sapsuckers are doing a similar boring pattern on the mountain ash in my yard; now I know what to do when it's time for the tree to come down. Thanks for another fine video, Phil!
A Yellow Bellied Sapsucker Lapland Hat, now there is a mouthful. Another unique heirloom on your books, Phil. It was really great watching you decide what pattern to follow. Good for the soul in these crazy times. Keep safe.
Wow…that is certainly unique! I like it! I think the more satiny finish is perfect for that piece. Good call! Those holes remind me of a pegboard. It’s funny how that sapsucker can get them so straight and evenly spaced. Thank you to Valerie for sending it over, and to you for sharing your mastery with all of us.
It’s just past 6:00pm here in MS. 86 now feels like 92. High got to 92 with 63% Humidity-72% Dew Point. HOT! Love the little YBS bowl shape. Bark tells the story though. Nice work Professor!
I don't mind the shape at all Phil. It seems like a naturally formed shape. The bark is certainly different but it suits the finished bowl shape. The grain, you rightly point out, is superb & the Feed n Wax is the right fit for this piece. A different, unusual but perfectly produced piece my friend, you have a 'sixth' sense that seems to automatically cut in as you turn. Thanks for sharing my friend, Don from South Aust.
You were very inspired leaving the two large portions of bark because otherwise those holes could not be highlighted, I really like the shape because it does not look like any other bowl I have seen so far! I always find something interesting in your videos! Big Like from me!👍👍👍 Cheers! Cristian Marin
That’s a dandy shape! I like the amount of bark that you were able to keep. Those Yellow Bellied Sapsuckers gave you an interesting pattern to incorporate into your artistic piece. I love it!
Hi Phil.... I don't think that you could have done any more to bring out the true beauty of the piece... when I was watching you turning the inside.. I was thinking to myself " I hope that Phil has remembered that he has done a recess on this one " then you stopped and measured it... phew...Haha ... great job and video as always... take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Didn't know where you were going with the shape but I like it & the wood is absolutely beautiful 😍 I will never ever be able to say yellow belly sapsucker without laughing and thinking of how much fun you had saying it in this video with this piece...lol 😆 🤣
Wonderful piece! Thanks again for sharing your artistic abilities! Also, I love saying Yellow Bellied Sapsucker! LOL! Today’s generation might not know the old use of that phrase. Thanks again! Chuckles.
I like it. At first I thought it would have the bark base and the bowl in the timber, but I think your way turned out best, the bark makes it and such a nice contrast to the timber. Good choice and well done.
Lovely peace as always Phill keep um coming just love your work so relaxing listening to your description on how you turn your work. Good health to you sir 😊😊😊
Your fans keep sending you some unique pieces of wood to turn and you've always surprised me you've always turned out absolutely wonderful great job Phil 👍👍

Sounds great, Lisa! Memories like that are the best! 😊
I love that you cater to the uniqueness of each piece of wood. No cookie cutter turning. It’s a great little bowl!
Thank you, I'm glad you like it! 😊
It’s not weird, but definitely different. All I need is a cup of coffee, and a fun video. Starts my day. Thanks again
I'm with you on the coffee, Sharon! About to go get my third cup and take a walk around the yard. It's a cool but sunny morning, just right! 😊

Exactly, Bruce. 😊
Thank you Phil, thank you Yellow bellied sap suckers, for a really nice piece!
😀
I think the shape is unique and beautifully shows all the different qualities of the wood. Also, as a bowl, very utilitarian with it's handles. Really wonderful.

The best thing about having just recently found your channel is the treasure trove of past videos 👍. Great job on the piece 👌
Awesome, thank you, James! 😊

You are most welcome! I try to make sure Phil has pieces that have features that he likes to work with.

the bowl is unique, the wood is beautiful and the bark is funny but it all works. thank you for making this vid
Glad you liked it, Joyce, thank you for watching! 😊
That came out AWESOME!!! The feed and wax brought out the Spalding nicely!!!
😊
From Scotland. Love this bowl, I get inspiration from watching and listening to your commentary. More please!
😊
That Sapsucker went coocoo over some butternut, and now so am I.
Nice one, Phil.

Hi Phil, That is a beautiful bowl and the Yellow Bellied Sap Sucker whish made all those holes is nearly as beautiful itself.

Great video.
Take care Phil.

Thank you, Richard! 😊

Thank you, Felicity! Yeah, most of my pieces have to kind of grow on you and ME! 😊
Another great bowl. Could be used for pegboard on a pinch. You dedication to bark is an inspiration. Phil, stay cool on the heat out there.
Thank you, Steve! Thankfully the heat has passed, for now. Low 80's, I can handle that.
Love the bark with the holes in it. Love it Phil.
😊
Without the holes and the bark. One dull bowl. You allowed it to have its own identity.
😊
You have inspired me to work with different shapes of wood. This was a maple burl that I kicked around for a year and thought, Phil would do something with this so I may give it a try. My wife said it was the coolest bowl yet.
Very cool, Bob! I wish more folks would think like you and give some of those old pieces a try. 😊
Love the shape and butternut wood. Very rustic.

This is definitely different. I love the under bark. Always love your videos.

Love the shape, wood grain and bark. The hole pattern the yellow belly sap sucker leaves is unique. Great job Phil ♥️
😊
Those yellow-bellied sap suckers are very good at uniform holes!!! Beautiful grain but not too crazy about the bark. 😊♥️
😊
Looks good. The shape makes the bowl. The bark gives it a lot of character.
😊
"Buckle up, butternut" made me snort. You are a card. While this piece isn't my favorite, you did your usual fantastic job.
Haha, great! 😃
I like it even though it’s unusual. But, then, you always make all the projects look great. Barbara
Thank you, Barbara! 😊
That's a great piece Phil, great that you kept the natural edge to show off more of the wood's features
😊
I don’t think the shape can be improved! You did justice to the piece of wood! Thanks Phil!
Cool, thanks, Kevin! 😊

And you smiled when you said it! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I sure did. 😊
