One Of My Very Best! - Wood Turning

I had trouble figuring out which way to turn this piece but once I got it, it was pretty clear to me. It's rare for me to have an idea for a shape in mind and then to be able to achieve that shape but it worked this time! It became a very natural pedestal bowl and I think this is one of my best turnings ever.
Maple burl, finished in shellac.

It was a cut-off piece that I didn't know what to do with, so I sent it to Phil because everyone knows that Phil will turn ANYTHING! And, oh man, did he ever! Stunning piece, Phil. Absolutely stunning!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you for the info and great comment, Dave! OH, and for the WOOD! 😊

[@kathleenposton2334]

I have to agree! Phil will take a crack at anything you give him!

[@debbieebbiebobebbie]

Phil, you are truly the Michelangelo of wood. Your ability to both retain and reveal beauty is rare. As an artist myself, it’s honestly moving and humbling to watch. “The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material.” ― Michelangelo

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

And, yeah, ol' Mikey was right! 😊

[@moose3968]

Great work on this. I think one of the greatest parts though is seeing how the woodturning community comes together on KZbin to elevate each other. The fact that through this platform so many people make friends that will send turning blanks like this off to others is amazing. I'm inspired more and more each time I open KZbin to try new projects and get others into this incredible hobby and your channel is one of my favorites.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank You Phil, Thank You Dave, Calmwood Creations.... Very few woods come close to the beauty of a polished/finished piece of Maple Burl. Include with that burl the bark and the natural contours of the wood. Does not get much better. Phil you made a beauty! It is small, simple and beautiful with all of the bells & whistles it takes to create a unique piece. Too cool Phil & wonderful show from start to stop. TM

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Tuffy! You are the star of next weeks show. Wouldn't have been able to turn the piece if not for your imagination and skill. I'm editing it now. 😊

Phil...you say "I don't about this one" so many times, I don't pay attention to it anymore! This one is a prize! I don't know why but I'm always surprised by how pretty the finished creations look. No one does a better job of working WITH the wood and allowing it to keep its' voice. This one is singing pretty! Thanks to Calmwood Creations for letting Phil perform his magic on kind of a clunker looking piece of wood!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Well, sorry, Max! I'm confronted with some strange looking pieces, it seems. LOL! I'm so glad you took your time to watch and comment, thank you! 😊

Watching you deal with this difficult conundrum was like listening to Miles Davis make a masterpiece from his 80's jazz bands less experienced musicians.

[@edwardhand7070]

Once again Phil you hit that one out of the park. I also wanted to say that your eye for seeing the finished piece before you turn it really gives me confidence in turning more difficult pieces myself. Although I feel like I'm still learning every day but as my late grandfather used to say. If you learn one thing a day it's a day not waisted. Happy turning Phil! 😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Your grandfather was correct, of course, Edward. Also, every cut is a practice cut. I'm still practicing and learning, too! 😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

[@rfranzosa]

“It’s a nice piece” says Phil, the master of the understatement. The camera placement, the commentary (“it’s not for your Cheerios, it’s an art piece”), the building excitement as the shape is revealed, like a sculptor with a block of marble. This was not only your best piece. It was like a feature film! Well done!!!
