“FOG” In the hands of a Master Turner = Fantastic OutcomeGuaranteed! Thanks Phil

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, thank you for that, Bob! 😃

[@kersi-sandiego6036]

Nice. Let's call it " 'Ol Helmet Head': Nice grain on the inside. Thanks, Phil.

[@zetuskid]

FOG- how appropriate! You can’t see what’s going to happen. But Phil you did a good job of finding that huge crack before you went to far. The bark looks so good. Just goes to show FOG is good! Beautiful bowl.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, thanks, Kid! 😃

[@williamfawkes8379]

I met a nice guy today at a craft fair. We talked shop a bit as I looked over his pieces. He had all if them labeled with the type if tree except for one that I happened to pick up. He told me it was fog wood, and my eyebrows perked up. When I said I watch videos on KZbin where someone uses that term, he said," Is it Phil Anderson?" You are famous, Phil! This happened in River Falls, Wisconsin. What a small world it is, and thankfully its full of interesting bits of wood for us to find and play with.

[@williamfawkes8379]

A note on Elm, if you are trying to figure out if that's what it is, if it's got any life left in it, it has a distinct smell when it's worked. Especially sanding will bring it out. It smells like a dirty barnyard. It's not really too bad, but it does make it Elm. I do most things green, so it's a more potent aroma.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, this is great, William, thanks for brightening my day! 😊

[@user-pk2fg8im4u]

Phil, I've been slowly rehabbing for some time now, gotta stretch out these "golden years" LOL. So I have to tell you how much you have helped me keep up the good fight. I look forward to your videos, and really do admire what you can do with a piece of wood. You've changed my opinion of what "firewood" is, and watching the new and old videos is a high point in my day! Thank you, and God bless! Rick

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I appreciate your time spent with me, Rick! I wish it was under better circumstances. Wishing you a speedy recovery! 😀

[@stewynofly]

That was a textbook example of denubbing. Beautiful wood.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Stew! 😀

[@deanbrady3522]

Phil the shape is great. The log will let you know what shape it wants to be. All we can do is go along with what it wants. And hopefully keep a few thing we like along the way. Beautiful job and God Bless.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Dean! 😃

[@calmwoodcreations3709]

N-i-i-i-ice! And quite timely, as well. I'll be getting a chunk of this wood ready to chuck up a bit later today and this shows me what to expect. The log was found along the county road up from the shop a ways, where County Roads left it while clearing storm damage. It was brought down in the ice storm 2-and-a-half years ago and the date I wrote is when I sawed it into sections. It's just about time to go back and get samples of leaf and flower/seed for a definite ID. I'll let you know when I do.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Another great wood finding story, Dave! 😃 Yeah, let me know what you find out. Thanks, buddy!

That wood has fantastic figure and the inclusion really gives it character. At about 17:42 in the video, the piece almost looks like an angry muppet 😀 Really like how you were able to keep the bark

[@judebrown4103]

Yeah what a pretty little pot Phil, enjoyed seeing that materialize... Here's something that might tickle you: I've been watching your wonderful craftsmanship for years, taking in all that you teach us as though one day when I might actually have the opportunity to turn something again I will have all your tips stored away ready to use. Well this evening it suddenly dawned on me that you raise the tool rest a little when you change to the smaller swept back gouge because it is smaller and therefore its centre is on a different plane. Now you must have told us that at some point but just now its gelled in my brain and I have brought forth full understanding!😅😂 I have a stick made of elm, English, since it was made in the West Country, Devon if memory serves, the top is formed from a large knot and that is also very smooth under the hand. Similar characteristics and colour to your piece too so I think youre right about its species. 👍👏

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Such an interesting comment, Jude, thank you! I have my mother in laws "stick." Same knot on top, well worn and smooth. I treasure it, she was one of my favorite people. 😃

[@tuffymartinez]

Thank You Phil, Thank You Dave at Calmwood Creations... Phil you did a good solid turning today with a nice piece of FOG wood. American Elm is great looking wood and bark. I do not think I have dealt with American Elm or I am just getting forgetful (probably both). The logistics of turning Phil is part of the fun of watching. You turn, you run into unexpected whatever's inside and than your strategy changes. ALWAYS FUN & until next time Phil.... TM

[@calmwoodcreations3709]

I'm really looking forward to turning one of the other chunks of this soon, now that I've seen what can be done. Perhaps even a clue for what *not* to do. 😅

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yup, the wood keeps us guessing, Tuffy! You should be an old hand at woodturning by now. Or, are you saving yourself? LOL! thank you, buddy! 😃

I enjoy the other things to but learning a new craft is just a different kind of fun. I did copy you and I ordered a set of the Benjamin’s best gouges and parting tools.
