African Sumac Difficulties! 🙎 Wood Turning

This is a very hard wood. The bark is delicate, even though it doesn't look like it. What should have been a two day turning became three because of the difficulties I found along the way. Finished in Feed & Wax.

Very nice, Phil. You are like an old friend that I am yet to meet. I thoroughly enjoy your company every week. Thanks for the visit, again.

[@54lespaul77]

I feel exactly the same way! Well said.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, Hubert! 😊

Phil is the kind of person you would like to have for a next door neighbor.

[@anthonyball2757]

I just wanted to say that my wife and I enjoy you every chance we get. We watch wood turning videos every night before bed, and you are most definitely our favorite. Be blessed and stay in good health .

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Well, this is very kind of you, Anthony, thank you so much! 😊

[@colleenkopp56]

Do you realize how much you are admired? I have never read a comment about you that wasn't admirable or appreciative of your talent!! You make people feel good! Plus you make a piece of wood look its best!! See you next week!!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wow! Thank you, Colleen! I'm very appreciative of the kind words in these comments from my viewers, including yours. 😊

[@TheMessyStudio]

Phil, African Sumac is not toxic. The sumac shrub, sometimes called poison sumac is, but they are a different family. African Sumac is in the same family as cashew. And you should be pleased with it. It came out very nice. It even looks soft on screen!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, thanks, Billy! 😊

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Thank you Tuffy! That “smile could be the nose, with the mouth the dark area below, and crinkly smiling eyes! Nice turn! We cut maple burl today, will save you a piece!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'll have to take another look to see if I see what you see, Valerie! Cool, thanks! 😊

[@rockybosarge]

Another awesome bowl and teaching lesson. I learn something every time I watch your videos. Thank you so much Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

My pleasure, Rocky, thanks for watching! 😊

I too brush my teeth with Howard Feed and Wax. My teeth now have a brilliant glowing sheen that gets me so many compliments from other woodturners! But seriously, thank you, Phil, for another wonderful start to my weekend.

Great job, Phil. I am a huge fan of Feed n Wax. You are right it's such a "soft" look and feel. Excellent bowl. The wood is gorgeous, and you showcased it so well. Thank you for another great video.

Beautiful bowl phil! I think that bark was trying to tell you something! Lol

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Buddy! Yeah, it was hard! The bark gave me the most trouble, though. I should try to get used to round bowls, no bark. Nah! That won't happen anytime soon! Hope you are back at it and feeling good, Gary! 😊

Beautiful bowl Phil. You are my inspiration in most all of the bowls I turn. I love they way the bark looks and the story the wood tells with all of the nicks and imperfections. It’s nature! I too see faces and things as I am turning down through the layers. I feel lucky when something shows in the last layer. Wonderful and uplifting, again. Hugs : )
