Black Cherry-Decisions, Decisions - Wood Turning

I received this piece of Black Cherry and was immediately confronted with the decision of how best to use/turn it. It has a burl section and I try to decide how to incorporate that into a turning using the piece it it's entirety. I also use a technique that is new to me that I learned from Gord Rock.

Very cool, Mary, thanks! 😊

[@hotrodhog2170]

It's always a good day when you get 3 pieces out of one! I kinda like it the way it is off balance with the bark on one side and not so much on the other! Reminds me of me! Lol, off center and bark on one side! Ha ha haa!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

LOL!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, thank you, Bill! 😊

[@janetmerrill5303]

I admire the skill and artistry. The contrast of the very smooth, light body of the piece with the highly textured, dark bark makes a striking piece.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

You GET it, Janet! It's that contrast that has me doing the kind of turnings that I love to do. Thank you! 😊

Another beautiful piece. I would love to see you turn the other 2 pieces and then display all 3 finished with pieces with a before and after.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I did turn the little cut-off from this which turned out to be a healed-over branch section. I'm not sure where the other half of the larger piece even is, right now but I like your idea, Glenda! If you want to see the small section, it's here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWfKhZarYtp2mas

Phil, I’m flattered that you would mention me. What’s even better than that? My wife was watching with me and now she thinks I might be a big deal. Unfortunately, she knows me so that will only last for about 45 seconds! LOL! Seriously, Phil, thanks for the shout-out! I appreciate it. The bowl is gorgeous, my friend, just as we have come to expect when you go to work. Yes, I was a bit confused when you put a different piece on your woodworm screw. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one! Great video, buddy! Keep ‘em coming!

[@charliemckay6402]

Magnificent craftsmanship, again! Mr. Anderson you are inspiring others to try and or raise their level in woodturning. As such you need to set an example of proper safety practices such as not wearing any jewelry or loose clothing. Today you wore a watch breaking the no jewelry safety rule.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you very much, Charlie! I like to think that each turner will exercise as much caution as they feel necessary to ensure their safety. Some will require more safety practices than others. As long as you are comfortable with yours is really all that matters. I've seen some turners practice what you call the "no jewelry safety rule" but than do something I consider un-safe. But, as long as it works for them, I'm satisfied.

[@charliemckay6402]

@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Better safe than sorry. I am a tool and die maker and have seen some horrendous things.

[@donaldadams5342]

You were initially not too happy with the outside shape Phil, but in your always considered approach with very minimal adjustment it turned out absolutely great. The big voids under the bark in a few spots really stood up brilliantly throughout the turning. By not trying to take out all the wood where the bark was thin was brilliant, it ads a huge amount of interest in the finished bowl. As always, the grain on all pieces of Cherry looks 'a million dollars' & the finish too. Another top piece as we all sat back to enjoy the experience with you. Congratulations, Don.

Nice job Phil. I have a standing weeping cherry that is marked for demo. I have slabbed pieces of one trunk that broke off last spring. Beautiful wood. Can't wait to turn some of the 30 plus burls on the base of the tree. A little tip for cleaning your acid brushes that I learned from my dad. Ammonia will clean any type of shellac product. Used it on my pigmented shellac brushes for years. Saved from having to use alcohol.

Hi Phil Lovely little bowl, the bark looks like dark chocolate clinging to the edge of the rim. I havnt turned for a couple of days, I’ve been loaned a big dust (2mt high filter bag 2hp motor) but I’m going to mount the motor and fan unit on a ply base with castor wheels so then being a smaller footprint without the filter bag it will fit in the shop,it will hook into the 5inch hose that goes through the wall to outside and discharge’s onto a drum full of water which stops the dust blowing around.my old 1 hp unit is past its use by date so looking forward to less sanding dust when this is up and running. Thanks again for sharing ,allways something to learn while being entertained by your channel. Regards from NZ

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Mal! Sounds like you have your dust collection all figured out in the best possible way. Those big bags can certainly get in the way. It will be good for you to get up and running again! 😊

Gotta love black cherry. I’m fortunate to have several trees and have turned well over 100 cherry bowls plus lamps, vases, pens and boxes. I have several big burls waiting for me. One is big enough I’ll need my chain hoist to mount it to my Robust American Beauty. As always, enjoyed the video. Loved the comment, “must be what I want cause I keep doing it”.

I got so excited, I am commenting before I even watch it. I love black cherry, can't wait. I have a cherry tree behind my house, about that big around, with a burl that goes all the way around the trunk, it looks so tempting, sitting about 25 feet in the air, but the tree is happy and healthy, so that giant ball of mystery will stay up there until something changes. And it finished up really great. Beautiful wood.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Good for you, William! If the tree is happy and healthy, it should live out it's life un-molested. But, I know it's hard to leave that burl just hanging up there! 😊

[@matthewharvey8755]

All the guys I've talked to that "harvest" burl say as long as you only take a piece of the burl vertically the tree will be unphased. One guy collects pine pitch and even spreads a layer on when he's done, and will come back a few years later and take another chunk lol. Idk how hearty black cherry is though! Always fun to see the trees that look pregnant 😋
