Suprise Suprise Suprise It hid the secret inside well but you know to reveal it. It was not able to keep his secret from the master. Now I can say I say it too! Thank you for sharing it with us. KEEP ON TURNING

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks for watching and commenting! 😊

[@stg6186]

That’s a real beauty. Well done Phil for keeping the inclusion in there.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@user-qm1iu5oz6v]

Love this bowl. God is so good to give us such beautiful things to look at and then to be able to make beautiful things out of His creations.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@chrisegbertky]

When I see that Phil has posted a new video 😂 I break out in the biggest smile! Must be pretty cool to be able to cause people to smile thousands of miles distant from the Shady Acres woodshop!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

It seems to work in both directions, Chris! Now I have a big smile on my face! 😊 Thank you so much!

[@user-nw2zm9qk5t]

Olive wood is one of the finest woods for furniture and crafts😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@carolriley8472]

When you cut that log in half, I was just in awe at the beauty of the Olive Wood and you certainly did it justice, Phil!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Carol! 😊

[@vickiestevens1699]

I can see why you love the olive wood. Nature at its best. 😍

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

True, Vickie! 😊

[@celiacomeau1]

Olive wood never disappoints

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

True enough, Celia! 😊

[@kathleen109]

Man, olive is so incredibly beautiful. When other woodturners remove the tenon in a way other than the way you do, I figure they're doing it incorrectly. 😂

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, you are not wrong, Kathleen! 😊

[@JoeDebono]

Flawless? That’s funny since it’s all flaws and what makes it so beautiful. You’re great to listen to, keep it up.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you! 😊

[@danarcher]

Awesome piece Phil, You know.............as long as we are both alive you will have olive wood to turn, until I run out and we know that wont happen. Glad to see you where able to keep the bark on this one. Love the bark inclusion with the two branches.The wonders of nature and your sense of approach to a piece, thank you for sharing my friend

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, you are far too kind, Dan! I still have plenty, thanks to you! Hope all is well, my friend! 😊 Phil

[@galinasafonova9163]

Прекрасно, как всегда! Ждём следующих работ!)))))

Спасибо, я рада, что вам понравилось! 😊

[@bobpiec]

Olive wood, I have two little figurines of Joshua and Caleb with a cluster of grapes I bought in Bethlehem in the early 80's on a trip to Israel It is beautiful as is all Olive wood. Watching you turn this piece reminds me just how beautiful olive wood is. Great job Phil. God Bless You Phil!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

They sound beautiful, Bob! Thank you! 😊

[@sandyhughes1520]

I’ve seen 2000 year old Olive trees. I lived in Israel and they made everything from olive wood. I love the wood

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wow, amazing! 😊

[@robinbray]

Beautiful, Phil! Life is short. Use that special wood! Love it!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, don't remind me, Robin! 😊

[@brunomerk7635]

A real beauty with the branches as special feature - well done Phil, you brought it to shine.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Bruno! 😊

[@rebasmirnov7507]

It's your talent to bring the beauty from any piece of wood. God bless you.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Reba! 😊

[@stevesheller9223]

Another beautiful project. Couldn’t have been done any better. Congrats. ❤ 👍👍👍

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you enjoyed it, Steve, thank you! 😊

[@bobcrabtree6924]

Great piece! Isn't it wonderful what nature does to create beauty. You always let that speak in your work. Thanks for the efforts and for sharing. Much appreciated. Keep on keeping on my friend.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Many thanks, Bob! 😊

[@kimhuff8912]

Wow, wow, wow, Phil. That's beautiful!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@williamellis8993]

That's beautiful, Phil. You can't go wrong with olive wood. If you look at the inside with the inclusion at the top, it looks like a heart. Bill

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I have to look again, Bill. A few comments mention the heart! 😊

[@stevenparaons9347]

Your right about the beauty of the wood. I've never had any olive wood to work with. Maybe some day I'll have another lathe. I'm sure missing it. Keep up the good work Phil. I sure enjoy your videos.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Steven! 😊

[@doug779]

Olive wood is a beautiful wood. You can get so much out of it. It really turns out beautiful. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Richard! 😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

[@johnnuttall1965]

I see the wood spirit inside that, love it.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, thank you, John! 😊

[@sherylbarrett9688]

Just wanted to tell you that I love your videos. I watch them all the time. I love the way you explain things so that I, new to turning, can understand. I have learned so much from you. Thank you so much. Sheryl Mackay. Queensland. Australia.😅

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'm so happy to read this, Sheryl, thank you, you made my day! 😊

[@GoBlue4lyfe]

I’m like some, and do not like resins. There’s NOTHING WRONG WITH NATURAL wood texture w/o ANY artificial bs. Love the Olive wood wrk. Keep it turnin Phill.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Right on 😊

[@anneandgregrobison8120]

Interesting feature with the merge of the two branches inside the bowl. Beautiful finish. 🫒

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you like it! 😊

[@stewartmills8595]

Another great job. Every time I think I have a favorite, you replace it. This is so beautiful..

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Stewart! 😊

[@wendyhenschel.]

Olive wood is beautiful. you made it even more beautiful with this bowl Phil

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Wendy! 😊

[@felocarp]

Olive wood is one of nature's treasures, at least for woodturners. You did it proud, Phil! Love all the features you highlighted. Beautiful bowl! Thanks!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

True, thank you, Greg! 😊

[@rayworstine4399]

Good evening, Phil. Just about bed time here. I will have visions of Olive wood dancing in my head. Olive definitely is a gorgeous wood to turn. Olive is also Popeye's girlfriends name. I guess it's Olive Oyl. Your bowl is cool and the special features are a wonderful bonus. Speaking of a bonus, you still have the other half of the piece for another turning. Nice.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yes, bonus! Thank you, Ray! And, yes, it is Olive Oyl! 😊

[@terryflynn2791]

Very beautiful Phil. Terry downunder

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Terry! 😊

[@judymckerrow6720]

Beautiful, just gorgeous! 🌺💚🙃

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Judy! 😊

[@richarddoan9249]

Excellent job as always….. but, you forgot to tell me “Howdy”. 😊😊😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

The "Howdy" comes at 0:42 Richard! 😊

[@estetubo]

I am so glad to see you. I was worried about the fire in your area. You continue in my prayers. God bless you

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much! No fire here. We had smoke for a couple days but it's gone! 😊

[@Ericmaltz1963]

I believe the gizmo you’re talking about is a suction cup. Several wood turners use it…👍❤

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I think you are talking about vacuum chucks. I was referring to a Longworth chuck. Still, my way works and is free! 😊

[@timf6916]

Yes, JUST Beautiful.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@tinaharbit1806]

Olive wood is so amazing and you brought out the personality! Thanks, Phil

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Tina! 😊

[@tinaharbit1806]

Most welcome Phil

[@georgekunkel5819]

Absolutely, stunning! A pleasure as always. 😊What a beautiful piece.

Thank you so much, George! 😊

[@guybeauchamp5511]

Wow! That is a lot of beautiful grain and features. Well done Phil😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yes, thanks, Guy! 😊

[@user-uz9my4sx2o]

Another beautifully crafted piece of art. I just love watching you do your magic. I think this is the most current video I've seen yet. Good to see you looking so well. Take Care, Bill Riley

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Bill! This is indeed my newest video! 😊

[@fiberotter]

the bowl is gorgeous! That branch is eye catching!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, I agree! 😊

[@kimphillips2998]

Phil. That Olivewood made a stunning Bowl I know you don't sell your bowls but that would have been the second one I would have asked to buy I just love your work Phil

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

You are so kind, Kim, thank you! 😊

[@frankhuscroft5965]

Thursday are like Fridays used to be when I was still working . Anticipating your videos.🤗

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, thanks, Frank! I remember working and feeling that way but it's a distant memory! 😊

[@cosmocavicchio5252]

Yes, it was fun to watch Phil. Great piece, grain, bark, and that little branch. It seems like there is always something of interest in your turnings. Cosmo from Billerica, Ma.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you enjoyed it, Cosmo, thank you! 😊

[@jarredladuke]

WOW I haven't seen olive wood before... It's really nice 👍🏻

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@RG-ce5hj]

What a beautiful piece of wood! Gotta love olive! 👍 and....so glad those pieces stayed in place. Nice job !

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Me too! Thank you! 😊

[@Audie1234]

Lovely and those 2 little twigs in the hole is cool.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

So unusual. Thanks, Audie! 😊

[@robguyatt9602]

It is such a lovely wood. I have some nice size pieces waiting for me to make even more beautiful. LOL. Sitting here at my desk, I see a grove just 50m away and have the farmer's permission to collect any that falls.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Get to it, Rob! 😊

[@robguyatt9602]

Phil an even lovelier story is a very dear friend's house is on a couple acres bounded by a gorgeous little creek. She is slowly removing the feral species along the creek and replacing with natives. Lots of old Olives. She says I can take what I want. But one of her boys' hobby is making rustic furniture from Olive and I won't interfere with his supply. What he makes is just gorgeous. Authentic old joinery techniques with no metal fixing. I love what he does.

[@TheMessyStudio]

A truly a gorgeous piece, Phil! Awesome grain and so much character!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you like it, Billy, thanks! 😊

[@chrisjohnston2449]

You are a lucky fellow to have a few pieces to work. Around here all we can get is Russian Olive. You did the piece justice.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Chris! I know just how lucky I am! 😊

[@russpenrose5060]

Phil, like this bowl. All the grain, inclusions, features, and bark! Glad you didn't (don't) filling holes in the bowl with whatever. Outcomes normally never turnout well,

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Russ! 😊

[@debbiefox1745]

Another georgous piece of art

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@Hot88s]

Another amazing piece! You cease to amaze me.😄

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you! Cheers! 😊

[@jackthompson5092]

Beautiful olive wood bowl Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Jack! 😊

[@David-jn4fx]

Awesome Phil! The grain just pops. A beauty for the books 🤩

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks 👍

[@jeanlong4285]

Really strange and unusual and absolutely beautiful. The grain is amazing.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Jean! 😊

[@dchilliard09]

Once again, a masterpiece!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you! 😊

[@user-kf5of8pq9p]

Really cool Phil. Keep them coming, Dan.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Dan! 😊

[@alangibb3100]

Phil, I have to agree Olive wood is really lovely and you did a great job there, you comment on the big jaws made me laugh as I did exactly the same thing I think I used the three time, to much faffing around with them as well. Smashing bowl

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yup, waste of time! 😊

[@ThePapa1947]

Wow Phil that was one fine piece of turning of a very hard piece of wood. My shoulder is hurting just watching you cut it. It looks amazing with those little bonus branches. When you held the bottom side up and showed the branch it looked like turtle sticking his head out. I had a lot of fun watching you do your magic on this one. Take care, Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Oh, man, I gotta go look for the turtle! Thank you so much, my friend, see you tomorrow! 😊

[@nelsonpalmer4831]

You served the beauty of the wood with excellents

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Nelson! 😊

[@larryjefferson2146]

Great job! Beautiful grain. I didn’t know olive had such color! Thanks for sharing.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Larry! 😊

[@JohnWilliams-iw6oq]

That's one heck of a beautiful piece Phil, thanks once again for a great show.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@phildavidson4796]

One word, beautiful!!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you! 😊

[@kristikey8320]

We have a lot of olive groves where I live. The angular and knotty branches and trunks are beautiful. The way you turn the wood gives homage and captures that beauty.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'm so glad, thank you, Kristi! 😊

[@albertdawson6814]

Very nice Phil. Like every Thursday night. Very enjoyable video. Thank you for sharing. Hope to see you next week

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Next week is a definite, Albert. The video is already up so even if I keel over, it'll be there! 😊

[@waynejones6215]

Now that's one beautiful turning there Phil😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Wayne! 😊

[@johnwhite6899]

🙋‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Hi Phil you've done it again created my latest favourite bowl. I love the grain and the finish. Beautiful features hidden inside. Thanks

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, John! 😊

[@adrianhoe5199]

Super Phil, love the figuring in this piece

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@EngelsNederfiele]

Olive trees are such long lived slowing grow trees its not surprising to have branches growing at all matter of odd angles and potentially grafting into each other, or being absorbed back into the trunk. It's also amazing how polished pieces of Olive wood exude the hues of the oils extracted from the fruits. The end result always seems worth the continual chisel sharpening, as the old saying goes "If there's no pain, there's no gain!"

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@scottbeilsmith4261]

Beautiful looking. Once again you have done a fantastic job of turning. The grain pattern is amazing. Very well done Phil 👍👍👍👍👍.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Scott! 😊

[@jnol9009]

Very beautifully done Phil! That olive wood is gorgeous. Thx and take care.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@zetuskid]

Phil, I have found your method of removing the tenon is the most effective and easy method. I hate having to have to install a set of jaws to just remove a tenon then remove them for another set so thumbs up to your method. And yes the bowl is terrific. Thanks for sharing your expertise young man.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Kid! I don't think I have changed jaws in about three years! 😊

[@maudwelford1843]

Supremly beautiful 💕🙏🇬🇧

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Maud! 😊

[@amandatallis9875]

Hi Phil the Olive wood is beautiful it has really nice grain and bark and the nooks and crannies it's awesomeI love it, nature is fantastic. The bowl with the live edge is magnificent, unique like all your pieces you turn. Stay safe and take care of yourself please continue with your master woodturning. Thanks for a marvellous video love from Amanda xxxx

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you for your kindness, Amanda and for taking your time to watch! 😊

[@maddieadams75]

It’s beautiful as usual. Love this olive wood. ❤

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Me too, Maddie! 😊

[@davidbaxter5132]

That looks so good. I have a friend who lives in Italy and has over 60 olive trees on his land - if only I could get at them! It would probably be easier for me to move out there with him and encourage him to buy a lathe! 🙂

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Sounds like a plan, David! 😊

[@donscottvansandt4139]

Wow ! Beautiful! It looks like a heart in the bowl. I love it .

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks! 😊

[@garyp8471]

That's so beautiful shame were the wrong side of the pond, that piece is mine, marking's are some of the best we've seen, and we've seen you turn some beauty's. All the best from the wrong side of the pond Lincolnshire UK

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

C'mon over, Gary! 😊

[@laurazakrzewski]

You did an awesome job Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Laura! 😊

[@Diarmuid-Quirke]

I have some olive wood drying and after seeing this I can’t wait to use it

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

You'll love it, I'm sure! 😊

[@lyndaowen2154]

You are so right when you said that is beautiful wood. I so like the live edge bowls. I hope to learn to make them as beautiful as you do. When I can, I think I’m gonna invest in one of those Sando flexes for the bark. I almost have the knack for removing the tendon like you do almost. You have been a good teacher and I really enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, Lynda! 😊

[@bmacdougall53]

Thank you, Diane! 😊

[@christinemiller7238]

What an interesting phenomenon that as a non woodworker it seems that you aren’t touching the wood visually when doing the outer edges but since you can hear it you know it is touching.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I know what you mean, Christine. It seems like that to me, too, when I'm editing the video. 😊

[@diannesorem6389]

Wow! Beautiful! Another great turning!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you like it, Dianne, thanks! 😊

[@jimfisher5201]

Picked up a Longworth chuck at same location as the steady rest. Used it last week. Bowl moved even with the tailstock up. It’s yours if you want it.😜😵‍💫🤣🤣🤣 Will be sticking with the pressure chuck method, even with flat rims!!! Nice piece of Olive, nice results. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Good to know, Valerie! Sometimes simple is best! 😊
