And my grandmas name, Lewis! 😊

[@nuttreeflyer102]

Phil. I’ve been turning for 8-9 years now. I stopped about a year ago because I was getting bored with round shapes. After watching you and your “odd” shapes I’ve been inspired to start turning again. And want to start making videos too. Keep it up sir. You are very talented!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@troybramich785]

Although not your original plan, but as turners i believe the wood shows us what it wants to be and our job is to listen and create something that highlights the natural beauty that was hiding inside. Cant wait to see what u spin up next

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Troy! 😊

[@onetruesmugs]

I know you feel disappointed with losing your vision on this one, but this is still a fantastic piece, Phil, you should be really happy 😀

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@jimwatson2962]

Agreed that wood will make most of our work look better ! But it's the artistry of knowing what to remove and how to present it that brings out the best in it , as you've just proved ! ❤

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Jim! 😊

[@alangibb3100]

Thanks, Gord, you too, buddy!

[@ThePapa1947]

Well Phil 3PM finally showed up. Been looking forward to this all day and it was worth the wait. A real gem you uncovered there. Looking inside when you held it I saw a one eyed critter crawling from left to right. No it is not the pain pills. I have not had to use them the last 2 days LOL Well done my friend, Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Gary! Hey, good news! I'm glad you can get along without them. At least, as long as you stay off that leg. Start walking around and you will likely have a different attitude! LOL! Be well, my friend! 😊

[@davidpulford7506]

Impressive. So it didn't turn out like you expected, still a gorgeous piece. I've always said that we only release the natural beauty of the wood, and the wood will tell you what it wants to be. Now I have to get some olive wood 😅.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@dtork47]

Very nicely done Phil. All the best in 2024, stay safe.

Olive wood is beautiful. The grain is outstanding. I worried as you kept turning the inside and I was saying Phil measure the bottom I thought he has to be close. Then you stopped and measured and I was able to breathe again. Nice looking bowl well worth the work for sure. Thanks for the show. Joel

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Joel! 👍

I turned a pepper mill . Star of the show Phil ... yep .... The wood is part of it but you new what part of the wood to take off to make it gorgeous. keep on turnin'

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yeah, it does kind of look like that, Bruce! Thanks a lot, Bruce! 😊

[@adrianhoe5199]

[@user-uz9my4sx2o]

Howdy Phil. Another beautiful piece of work. I like your choice of the Howard's. It allows the natural beauty of the Olive wood to shine through without the literal shine of shellac. Thanks for the video and Happy New Year. Take care and keep turning. Bill Riley.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Many thanks, Bill! 😊

[@stephanielovatt2787]

Ahhh, that grain! You were so right about the direction for turning! It's one of the problems with visual media: We can't yet touch the wood. Great stuff, Phil, and Happy New Year!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yes! Thank you! 😊

[@calmwoodcreations3709]

I often find that sometimes it's much like doodling with an eraser, simply removing what doesn't belong. What a little beauty you revealed! Now I'm gonna have to find what stack the 2 pieces of olive you sent my way are hiding under. That woodgrain is simply gorgeous!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I know you can work wonders with it, Dave! 😊

[@donaldadams5342]

An absolutely delightful bowl Phil. I don't recall if I have watched any of your other Olive turnings but even if I have I am now going to check them all out. As usual, a very considered piece with all the Phil Anderson considerations & sensitivity we have come to expect in your turning & in the production of your videos. I love that you decided to finish with the Howards Feed n Wax. I think it is such a brilliant product that gives fantastic results. Cheers my friend, Don from South Australia.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Agree, Feed & Wax was the right choice for this piece, Don. Thank you, I'm glad you like it! 😊

[@ronnielloyd4514]

One of your better jobs.

[@lindabrown2211]

I think it turned out beautiful. I don't think I've run across olive wood for sale in my area so I'll keep my eyes open because that little bowl sure had some awesome grain. Thanks for sharing.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you! 😊

[@gregsheath7151]

Yes olive is a great wood to turn, can be a little hard and is often a little moist still. Takes forever to dry out. I thought you may have left the bit sticking up on rim and undercut it so rim was thinner and bit was whole. However turned out great Phil. You often turn other peoples wood that was given to you, do you have much wood that you have collected to turn. Not complaining as I really enjoy the variety you get and turn.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I had a pretty good collection of wood that I bought from a turner but I turned all that before I started my channel. Good wood near me is hard to come by. 😊

[@bmacdougall53]

Handsome wood. Beautiful work 💜🙏
