Decisions For Bark-On Bowl Turning - Wood Turning

[@tuffymartinez]

Thank You Phil, Thank You Karl Bunker in Massachusetts...Interesting piece of Birch, unusual bark. I do look forward to sitting here every Thursday afternoon watching the logistics of you making the most from difficult pieces of wood! Each piece has its little quirks for you to "cogitate" on. Seeing a beautifully finished bowl is always desirable BUT it's the adventure you offer us Phil, YEA!!!.. The star of this one is the glued on bark. Each piece you turn has it's focus. Until next Thursday ... TM

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Tuffy! I looked all over the shop for that piece of bark. I finally gave up, walked back to the lathe and it was laying right there under the bed ways. LOL! I agree, that is the highlight of this piece. I'm so glad you enjoy the videos and join us all every Thursday for a fun adventure! Stay safe and healthy, my friend!

[@anneandgregrobison8120]

That birch bark live edge is fantastic. I also enjoy the way you "talk" your way through your decisions with your audience. Bravo!!🪵

Awesome! Thank you! 😄

Phil, I really appreciate your videos because you tell us what you do and what you use during your video. I have learned a lot from you, in fact sometimes when I screw up I imagine your voice giving me a hard time. Thank you.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, that doesn't sound like me, Russell! 😊

[@dennissmith7845]

That was awesome 👏. My wife and I enjoy the way you salvage as much bark as possible. 👍

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you enjoyed it, Dennis, thank you to you and your wife! 😃

[@_zhawkeye_9808]

Beutiful as always Phil live edge always keeps it real instead of something manufactured and mass prejudiced it's unique as always. 👍

Right on, Kelvin! 😊

[@walterdoodlesart3592]

One of the best. So glad you restored the bark that broke off. And I think you kept the perfect amount of that hub.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I think so too, Walter, thanks! 😊

[@charlesdeshler202]

I come across you a month or two ago.... Every night my family leaves for their activities about the time I come home from my shop.... I kick my feet up and watch 2-3 of your vids before I hit the rack.... I've enjoyed all the finished goods...but this one is really nice... I just love the Yellow Birch... The crease, the patch, the cracks.... Bark..... It's got it all... The grain too! Nice turn Phil!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you for spending some leisure time with me, Charles, much appreciated! 😊

Another beatiful piece .My brother used to do amazing things with driftwood just cleaning them and and using the natural shape to make tables and frames etc .Unfortunately he died last year but every time I watch your videos I know he would have loved your work so I feel like Im watching it with him

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wonderful, thank you! 😊

[@seemorevid1]

I enjoy your videos, and really like the narration. So many You Tubers do not do that. I don't especially share your aesthetics with all the gnarly wood, but no matter. Sometimes is like watching a NASCAR race, wondering when the disaster will occur! Thanks to your skill, it doesn't happen. Good work.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I think you are unusual in that regard, Ron and it speaks highly of you. If you don't love the kind of wood I turn but still can enjoy the video, that makes you extra special in my book! 😊

I like the way you saved the bark. Turned out great

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, thanks, Garth! 😊

[@patriotwoodturning]

Since I've been watching your art I have came to realize more and more that sometimes cracks are simply beauty marks and the bark is like whip cream on pie. I made one live edge bowl out of a elm crotch piece and the most satisfying part about it is watching people hold the bowl and turning it over and over while never taking thier hands off of the bark. That's what I call mission accomplished lol

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Exactly! Far more interesting than a nice, perfectly round and smooth bowl. More fun to turn, too! 😊

[@patriotwoodturning]

@Phil Anderson - Shady Acres Woodshop very fun to turn...you don't have a clue what it will look like. Kinda like opening a Christmas present but but a longer process

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

[@ThePapa1947]

Very cool looking bowl Phil! I have worked with kiln dried Yellow Birch lumber but never a chunk from a tree. This one has some fantastic grain but the best part is the bark. And the patch that tucks in on the side is the very best and I like how you can see the crack around it show up on the inside and reminds you of the cool bark right on the other side. Great video my friend, Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yeah, actually the crack around the inside, outlining the outside is probably my favorite part, Gary. Thanks, buddy! I had a day in the shop with a great-grandson yesterday. We built a sword! Haha, had a lot of fun! 😊

[@ThePapa1947]

That's sounds like fun. We had 2 grandkids over yesterday and one of then used to like to watch me turn. Now he would rather play games on his iPad. I probably would have if they had them back in the stone ages when we were kids lol.

[@dennislestanguet9443]

@@ThePapa1947 so sad but so true, but my 27 year old granddaughter has come around and loves to 'get her hands dirty'...so there's always hope.

Always worth watching your presentations-techniques and comments, a nice balance and thanks for no crappy music, something that turns this old guy off watching many video presentations. Stay safe, very sad to hear the tragic loss of your fellow countrymen at that hell-hole called Kabul, so close to leaving that backwards sandpit. I feel for their families and friends, words are inadequate.
