One Of My Very Best! - Wood Turning

[@calmwoodcreations3709]

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!

[@nanfredman1991]

I love that he takes this as a personal challenge to make art with anything you throw at him.

[@christinemiller7238]

Thanks for sending him this lovely piece!

[@calmwoodcreations3709]

@@christinemiller7238 You are welcome! I am not sure, now, if I *sent* it to him or if I *handed* it to him when he visited. It's been awhile and my memory is what I forget with. 😉

Gorgeous one of a kind! I so appreciate your love of the natural beauty in the wood, ALL of it! Not flaws, character! God bless

Phil so entertaining. Your vision was spot on 👀. Turning skills were perfect 🤩. The finish is a credit to you being number 1 👏

[@ronkropf3280]

That masterpiece, belongs in the Smithsonian museum!!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wow, thank you, Ron! 😊

[@dcwander7092]

Well, Phil can actually donate one piece someday. Smithsonian can keep it for a display on crafts from time to time with credit to Phil or present it as a gift to some worthy or sell it for fundraising in the gift shop to somebody who will treasure it. Either outcome is a benefit..

[@claytonbink1647]

A lesson in making ART from the master himself, Phil Anderson!

[@paulcoffey-windycitywoodwo1073]

As Don Adams suggested, I think I'm going to send you all of my puzzling pieces, the ones I've been staring at for months with no idea how to start spinning them. OR, I can just drill a 5/16 hole into them and say: "What would Phil do?" and see what happens. Thanks, Phil! It's an uniquely beautiful piece!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I recommend drill the hole and see what happens, Paul! 😊

[@kenwalker6425]

Hey Phil, great piece, love it 😂

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you enjoyed it, Ken, thank you! 😊

[@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.

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! 😊

[@paddymcintyre9173]

Please

[@monopinion8799]

Your definitely right here. I don’t believe it either. What I do believe is once the piece of wood is in his hands it does turn up to be a special one ☝️you wish to replicate one day.

[@steveberberich3611]

lol, love it. ...."everyone knows Phil will turn ANYTHING.". Keep 'em coming!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'll pretty much TRY turning anything, Steve, at least once! LOL! Thank you! 😊

[@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!!!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wow, not much I can say to that, Rick except thank you! 😊

[@calmwoodcreations3709]

Woodturning: It's like doodling with an eraser!

It's amazing what you can get out of a price if wood others would burn or throw away Your videos have been inspiring me to do the same I get surprised every time Thanks

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Fantastic, Marc! 😊

[@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! 😊

[@tuffymartinez]

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. 😊

[@GregoryWeirauch]

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I retired from Public Service nine years ago, Carol. You are correct, you must have something to do after retirement and I stumbled on to this channel. It what gets me out of bed every day! 😊

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. They were rough around the edges, however Miles heard what they did and masterfully brought a melody to its beautiful conclusion. Just like you did Phil.

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! 😊

No question Phil this is by far one of your best. What a perfect piece of wood to have the honor of meeting you and have your touch change it into what it should be. All without changing what it was.
