Hi Phil, The Olive sent me popeyed it was so beautiful. Many thanks to a desperately generous Dan for the wood, and I bet it made you perspire. Horses sweat, men perspire, women glow. LOL. God bless, stay safe. Tony

[@donaldadams5342]

Ah Phil, one of the really great pleasures I get out of watching you at work in your videos is the sense of 'unknown' with your woodturning. As you say, you do not run to the bandsaw & cut every piece round just to make the 'job a little easier'. You always want to give the piece of the chance to have a say in how you are to go about releasing the beauty that lies within. We are right there with you as you set out to discover what lies within. It's a mystery to be solved & this is how I feel it should be. It was the same with me when my hands & body would allow me to pursue my Sculpture pieces, mainly in wood, & was what I tried to teach my students to do while I was able to teach the art of sculpture working to them. Often when the school was open for inspection & parents came in & view what was being taught in our school , I would have parents come up to me & ask, 'do you take night classes so that I could come in & learn from you how to do sculptural work'? How disappointed they were to b told that the school did not run 'Adult Education Classes'. This piece so reminds me of that approach. It is a beautiful bowl with a beautiful finish made with pure love for the craft that you have released. Thank you my friend, stay safe & well in this tricky Covid time, Don.

[@donaldadams5342]

I know this is the second time I have commented on this piece & I can assure you that I have viewed it many more times than that. Cheers, Don

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Sounds like we are of the same mind, Don. Thank you! 😊

[@davidrosowski3161]

[@perry-ad]

A friend just gave me a 5 foot long, 8-9 inch diameter olive log. Now that I know how much it shines, I'm getting some of that on the lathe tomorrow! Nothing I make is ever as super-cool as anything you make, but I'll send you a photo if I ever get anything that looks ok-ish. Thanks again, Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Please do, Perry. Thank you!

Howdy Phil Wow that grain is so , so nice ....To bad there is not much olive trees in my back yard .......maybe I will have to go to Reno or Las Vegas to get some lol It sounds very hard wood the grain almost make you think it is a burl or a root . it all looks like a water fall ! beautiful real nice turn....i think i will go and buy olive wood keep on turin'

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Apparently it's bountiful in Vegas, Bruce. Good excuse to go! LOL!

[@Leefywood]

Thanks Phil and Dan from Las Vegas. Olive wood wow. Can’t even get olive oil here in Wisconsin. You could do a little road trip Phil and bring me a piece or three. I’d even let you turn on my lathe and I’d film ya. What a deal huh? Thanks again for sharing.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Sounds great, Wayne! Seriously, sounds great, wish Wisconsin was closer to this side of the country! 😊

[@thomaskuzia8125]

Hi Phil,,, I think you did a great job on a very very tough piece of wood to turn and it came out beautiful! Turning wood that's that dry and hard takes his toll on the body,,, and the tools! Thanks for the video,,, Tom

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you very much, Tom! Yeah, it was a workout but I'm glad I had the opportunity. 😊

[@yossiderecheven6322]

First of all the bowl is very beautiful and the wood is also beautiful because you recognize how to bring its beauty out, I work with this wood a lot and from what I see This tree was very old, and one of the reasons it is not used for commercial production is the reason that gives it its beauty, its special form of growth. I really like this tree, in my country Israel it is the typical tree that grows here, thank you for sharing!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Yossi! I believe I have seen a turner from Israel turning Olive. It is just so beautiful!

Having an eye that can see the beauty in a piece of wood is one thing, but having the hands to bring that beauty to the eyes of others is what makes a man an artist. Sir, you are an Artist.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

You are too kind, Lee, thank you very much!

[@joyfulnoise6556]

My husband sat down and watched most of this one with me. He agrees that this is some amazing grain. I love watching the process and hearing you talk your way through it. I think it's great that you don't decide before spinning and starting what you will end up with. A rough idea at most and then letting the wood talk to you as it does makes a beautiful result.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

That is awesome! I love to hear about couple watching together. Thank you! 😊

[@joannejensen5987]

I live by/in the fires in Oregon, and as the flames consumed the trees, I just thought about the wonderful wood, the unique pieces going into ash, not your lathe. It all is tragic, all, all. It will be years before the hurt will lessen. Simply makes what is left appreciated so much more. You have some trophies that stand for the trees burned fellows. You could hold an exhibit along with your fellow turners as a memorial. Can you turn burned wood? I mean, can burned wood be turned because of course you could. Seeing the burned turned into beauty, now that would be a healing!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Again with the kind, thoughtful comment, Joanne. Thank you so much for that. 😊 I have turned three pieces that had been in a fire. One absolutely beautiful, one ordinary and one that wouldn't stay together because it was just too dry. But, I love your idea of memorializing some of the burned trees from all these fires. Oregon has some great hardwoods that, if having been in the fires would still likely be able to be turned. Not so much around here where we have mostly softwood Firs. I do know there are a LOT of turners in Oregon. Hopefully some of them will see this or come upon the idea on their own. I don't know if fire stations have lobbies but that would be a good place to display some of those turnings. ❤

Hey, Phil! I know this is a 4 yr old video but, Ive never seen it. This olive wood made for a really beautiful bowl! I love all the nature you left in it!! I love it!!❤

Hi Phil - great piece as always. Jealous about not having any Olive wood. I watch all of Annikas' work from Greece and he uses Olive extensively, I think he grows Olives on his farm. His work is awesome and I recommend watching to all turners. You and Annikas are my favourite woodturners to watch and learn. Best regards - stay safe -- Dennis

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Dennis! Agree, Olive is kind of the Holy Grail for turners, I think, and I feel really fortunate to have some. I watch Kostas, also. He comes up with some really neat pieces! Take care, Dennis!

[@williamellis8993]
