From Log To Live Edge Bowl To Little Dish! Dang It! - Wood Turning

Well, this one did not turn out anything like what I had in mind. It was bug damaged more than I knew. Still, it did turn out to have some outstanding grain and color so all is not lost. Finished in shellac.

I love it. I love the grain. I'm so glad your back and feeling better. You were very much missed

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, Cindy! 😊

Phil a Dang It Dish. Your viewers are queuing up to buy it. What ever create is perfect Art. 🌈

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, thank you, David! 😃

[@davidscullbonz]

My mom used to crochet lace doilies which she would starch and let dry with crinkled edges. Thank you, Phil, for this sweet reminder of a nice pre-school memory.

[@lewisgreenway5065]

The grain and colour saved the piece still an attractive little dish, now known as the dang it dish. 😉

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

LOL! 😊 I like it!

[@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer]

Bowls are like children. We have all kinds of ideas for them and they..turn...out as they are meant to...perfect just as they are and just as they are not. It's a beautiful bowl with a wonderful grain.

[@tuffymartinez]

Thank You Phil, Thank you Nate, Mr. Nate's Wood Shop.....Phil it sure is fun watching you explore some new wood. Each piece offers new & unknown adventures, never knowing what is going to happen. I will never tire of watching. I love the verbal walkthrough. Definitely NOT a disappointment for me Phil. It is really nice when the bark can be saved but just watching you turn, decide, change, compromise, restart, new game plan ...all that is what makes your show so enjoyable to watch. I love that grain and in the future I would like to see Nate's other half turned to give this bowl its complimentary other side? Your finishing is superb! With a perfect, experienced nub removal .Very much enjoy your discussion during and at the end. Until next time Phil........TM

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

It's hard to go wrong when you have a great piece of wood, Tuffy! I've grown to like this piece, now that I got over my loss! LOL! It's so nice to know that what I do is appreciated by someone of your caliber and talent, Mr. SteamPunk! Thank you! 😃

As you always say “ the wood dictates what it wants to be”. It beautiful.

Yup, dang it! 😃

[@alexsully1233]

Hello Phil, greetings from England We’ve all been there 😊 I’m still denied my workshop thanks to my broken leg but as I helped my wife store a delivery of fire wood I looked at every piece and thought ‘would Phil do with it?’ Sadly only two passed the test but I can’t wait to get my mask and face shield on. All the best Alex

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I can't wait for you to get back in the shop, too, Alex! 😃

[@raydriver7300]

It is a beautiful bowl. I have commented before that I am becoming adept at ‘turning’ perfectly respectable pieces of wood into shavings and dust 🌞

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

LOL! Well, I think we have all been there, Ray! 😃

[@tinaharbit1806]

Man that wood is absolutely stunning! That grain, color everything is amazing! Glad to see you at the lathe! I had a minor surgery yesterday so I’m home and able to get caught up on my videos! Have a great day. Thanks to Nate for sharing the wood for us all to see what Phil does with it.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

It is something special, I agree, Tina, thank you! 😄

My Dad turned wood as a hobby late in life. He would have loved this channel, and I’m sure, would have shared your views on seeing the beauty in even the imperfections. I enjoy you videos, God bless! 👍🏻👍🏻

A handful of times in my life, I have headed to one location and because of unforeseen conditions beyond my control, I’ve had to divert and been so pleasantly surprised by someone I’ve met that made a positive impact on me. Such is your cute little bowl Phil. Very nice, and a great surprise…

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks for sharing, Russ! 😃

[@rayworstine4399]

Good evening, Phil. Thumbs up, my friend. Dogs normally don't loose their bark but this time Phil lost his bark. In this case there was a plan 'B.' Occasionally a plan C and even a plan D, E and F may be needed. However, once the project becomes as small as a thimble, it ends up a thimble. I like the wood, the finish and the overall project. Nicely done.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Well, I did stop before thimble, Ray! LOL! Yeah, I'm getting used to it and can appreciate the beauty still there. 😃

[@donnabelvin2201]

That's what I love about you, Phil. You never give up. Lovely little bowl/dish.

[@keithpetteway1706]

I appreciate you showing videos where the original idea for a piece goes to ruin in front of you/us. Your example of not being discouraged, and continuing to a finished piece is inspiring to me. I also find that I learn more from the mistakes I make, and from seeing how you recover from yours, than I do when everything goes smoothly. GREAT WORK Mr.Anderson.

Hola Phil, Good to see you in the shop. And good to hear your dulcet tones. If voice can be used as an indicator of health, you are doing splendidly 🫡. Those two slight holes in the bottom of that dish and the remnant of the tenon make a most interesting face 😮. Instead of doily, you might try antimacassar. Keep the aspidistra flying! Paul

There are house flies, horse flies, deer flies and an occasional bowl fly. My latest bowl fly resulted from an interesting walnut log that started out to be a fairly large live edge bowl and ended up a very small coin bowl. Not what I planned but I enjoy the challenge of turning a disaster into something interesting. I think we must have been related in a previous life. Your videos are great!

I love Thursdays! I get to watch as Phil turns! Beautiful plum wood wow. I was screaming at the screen for you to do a natural edges if not a live edge. You didn't hear me, sigh. Its a great piece. I love that you leave that interesting effect in the wood. Beautiful bowl beautiful wood, beautiful job.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, thanks, Steve! I considered a natural edge for a few seconds but the bugs had just taken the wood down too far. I don't think it would have looked good. It never would have sanded very well and it would have just soaked up the finish. But, someone suggested I could have burned the edge for contrast. I wish I would have thought of that! 😊

Its very pretty, and if you are thinking about disowning it, ill happily send you my address! Its just really nice. Maybe the other half will be the live edge you want. Im betting it will. Doily.

Phil, it is a gorgeous little dish with outstanding grain. Just as we don't always know what we're going to do when we start turning, the wood also makes up its own mind about what it wants to be.

Some days the wood agrees with you. Then there are days when it rebels. This was just one of those days. It wanted to become a beautiful, if small, dish, and by golly, that's what you made. Very nice rim, by the way. 😉 Beautiful dish, love the grain and doily pattern! 😁
