Gravenstein Apple 👀 Bowl For Tuffy! - Wood Turning

[@tuffymartinez]

Thank You Phil... I have not seen that old stump for some time. Brings back memories. For some reason night critters (Racoons?) enjoyed chewing on the trunk which slowly killed it. TONS-OF-FUN slowly watching you turn something I can personally relate to. I am a bit late posting cause I keep re-winding and taking my time. I personally planted that tree when I was younger & still running marathons, wow (my good ole' days?).Thank You Phil and I will be looking forward to all your future turning adventures..... TM

[@christinemiller7238]

I had an old apple tree I played in for years. Hearing your story made me think of my tree. Thank you for sharing it!

[@sangyenamdrol9392]

❤❤❤❤

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, I didn't know you planted it, too! Did it hurt your feelings to have to dig it up? It would have mine, I think. Well, at least you have revenge on those Racoons! 😀

[@janeoverby2151]

Tuffy, you have a beautiful bowl to remember that old tree. Phil is a true master! ❤

[@tuffymartinez]

@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop No it didn't hurt my feelings. It was dead and it was going to travel up north for it's second chance at life from your lathe. At the time I had zero idea it would ever make it's way back home again thanks to you Phil....TM

I love it. Beautiful and lots of interesting things to look at. When you were using the brush on the inside and talking softly to say right in there and maybe right there, you made me think of Bob Ross.🤗

Interesting, thank you, Nancy! 😊

CRICKY Phill your WITTY, WISE, AND OTHERWISE,.😅😂🤣🤣 That lump just above the roots, I am pretty sure it's where it was grafted onto the root stock.😲 The grain pattern is impeccable, you carnt go WORNG WITH FRUIT WOOD to turn.

[@Danseadorf]

Hey Phil, makes me want to find an apple root ball and have at it. I really like it, sure Tuffy will always treasure it as well. Thanks Phil, see you next week...Dan.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

You should! When the neighbor goes on vacation, just dig up his apple tree, get the rootball and replant the tree. He'll never know! 😊

[@michaelburns9172]

Phil nice choice. But as usual you see the piece within . Beutyful. Looks interesting to touch .

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Michael! 😊

[@donaldadams5342]

It was an absolute pleasure to spend a 1/2 hour watching you turn an extremely interesting root ball into a magnificent bowl. There are so many stunning features that you have been able to release for our pleasure. You have a rare feeling for the wood you turn, a deep understanding of your craft & a keen eye. I am sure Tuffy will be absolutely delighted with the wonder you have released from this root ball. Great grain too for the eye to enjoy & with a great finish. Thanks, my friend, for the pleasure you bring to SO MANY people. Stay safe & well, Don from South Aust.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

He has it and says he likes it, so that was all I could hope for. Thanks for your great comment, Don! 😊

Thank you, Bennett! 😊

[@RikkPanzera]

What a good looking piece! I grew up in Ulster county NY and my back yard was a apple orchard. I never knew the wood was so beautiful. You did it justice. Tuffy, I hope you enjoy it.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, kindly! 😊 Apples aren't just good to eat!

[@braddblk]

I spotted an owl sitting on a limb at the bottem! Great piece of art again. I've seen wood on a tree bowl shaped like this but haven't found one to turn. At least now I've seen a result, thank you.

[@shelleygreer915]

Ugly? Never! Nothing wrong with natural rimmed pieces. This is awesome! I greatly admire your respect for the original plantee of that tree. The inside looks like it's made of marble! A truly amazing work. Thank you for taking us through your thoughts and impressions as you went along -- I appreciate that a lot. Great video!😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Shelley, thank you! 😀

The grain and figure in this piece really are quite nice. The shape was dictated by the tree and has some interesting features throughout. Very cool story to go with the piece; it's neat that Tuffy will have this as a memory of the tree in the back yard.

It came out great. I kept seeing the spot on the outside when you were spinning it by hand I kept thinking it looks cool and was trying to figure out what it was and then you said you weren't sure what it was.

Hello Bruce. So I got up and brought the bowl back. I'm turning it around exactly as you describe. I see the right eye (& partial left), a long snout pointing to that crack like it's sniffing out what's inside? Kanda looks like a baby Raccoon? Bruce I seriously tried to see a Chicken but all I can see is this weirdo Raccoon. All I drink is water, tea, coffee & creamer (I know I'm boring). HA! Wait, now I see your Chicken with the tip of it's beak pointing to the top of the crack? Ah, maybe BUT that funny little Raccoon is what jumps out at me the most? Oh Well guess I will keep looking? I once saw a dog howling at the moon on Phil's dogwood turning on the inside of the bowl quite a while back but I think I was the only one. It got me going. A dog on a Dogwood turning I thought pretty neat-O but I think I was alone..... TM
