Massive Ponderosa Pine! 5 Day Turning! - Wood Turning

This was just a lot of work, no way around it. The piece started and ended at 17 1/2" at the widest point which is just about the max size for my 18" lathe. The top was not flat so had to remove 1 1/2" in height to level it. It was and is out of balance so the whole turning was done at under 400 RPM. I'm glad I did it and I like the outcome but won't be doing another this size anytime soon! LOL! Finished in shellac.

Gosh, Phil, that was some commitment to the cause of a KZbin video for our benefit! You always entertain and educate us, and produce pieces that no-one else would contemplate or envisage - you truly have a unique style ... and that is why we eagerly look forward to Thursday night in your company! Thank you so much.

[@donaldadams5342]

Well that was sure worth watching because of its sheer size. You are wonderfully entertaining with your running commentary keeping us totally in the picture at all times. Five days was a heck of a commitment on your part & might I say, you did a fantastic job of editing it down. You have a style & presentation that is uniquely Phil Anderson & please don't ever try to change it. Thanks to your perseverance & skill this is a magnificent bowl & worthy of all the praise being expressed by all who admire your work. Your commitment to retaining as much bark & natural elements in each piece is highlighted in your skill in patching up all the missing pieces of bark & work with the angle grinder to achieve your final result. Great piece of work & great finish too, especially considering it is Pine & not noted as a high quality wood for finishing. Stay well my friend, Don from South Aust.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, Don, I'm really glad you took the time to watch and comment! 😊

[@philgallagher1]

Well said, Don! Phil's energy & stamina are an example to us all! As is his knack of finding the beauty in every piece of wood he picks up!

Hi Phil Don't worry about the name, the first name is right 😂 I would have turned it the other side up but I think you made the right choice.😊 I love it.

[@redleaf4902]

Hi Phil Waaaou. Big turn. The bark on the edge, looks like an eagle in flight, with wings spread out. Pretty. Pretty. Pretty. She flew over the tops of the Shady Acre Trees Tops, and decided to metamorphose herself into a bowl. Despite that we can hear the fatigue in your voice at one point, it is a beautiful bowl. Forest fire smoke wise, I have been pretty lucky. Bought two air purifiers: one for the car; one for the house. Our air quality has been much better than it has been for some. Have a beautiful week. Going snorkeling.

Beautiful Phil, Lots of people dismiss Pine ( Insert Species) as a undesired medium to use for fine woodworking but Pine has always had a special place on my shelf. I think most woodwork's for beginners and accomplished woodworkers, can be made into awesome pieces. Love the live edge and grain of this useful bowl. Love it! Thank you for sharing.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Great point, Dan! As a young woodworker, I used a lot of pine in my projects, mostly due to it's reasonable price at the time. I loved the smell as I ran it through my tablesaw. Lots of decorative and useful pieces still floating around somewhere, I suppose. This piece smelled great too as I cut into it. Thanks, buddy! 😊

@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I could almost smell it as you where turning it. I used to bag pine shavings in zip lock bags as it reminded me of home. PNW!

You should always be working with good pieces of wood Phil and this bowl is proof of it. Please don't devalue your talent.

I watched someone else turn something the other day. I am delighted to see many people making beautiful things with lathes and deriving great satisfaction from doing so. You are such a calming presence and so good at your craft, though, that having come across your work early makes most others hard to watch. Part of it is that I like your taste; I don't like putting resin in and on everything, say, and it drives me up a tree to see how much of what's interesting about a piece of wood others take away. But I guess I really like that you seem to work with instead of against your medium, as so many other folks seem to. Thank you for thinking about how much you can keep and not just what you're going to take away.
