Joel Hansell here. Phil, it's fantastic!! Thank you so much for such a beautiful design -- I love the high peak of the bowl and your decision to offset the center. The bark and the grain are wonderful. That piece sat in the shop for so long because I couldn't decide on the orientation. You nailed it!! I knew you would do it justice. Thank you, Sir!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

It was a tough decision, Joel. It would have been great either way, I think, but I am happy with the outcome. Thanks again for sending it along! 😊

[@sweetlandsheatingcooling9039]

Nice!!

[@tinaharbit1806]

Absolutely gorgeous! I saw Groot but once you said Homer he stood right out! Well done Phil! Well done

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@ThePapa1947]

No doubt about it Phil you made the right decision. The bowl is very cool looking and one of your best of this style. I love everything you did with it. Lots of fun watching this one. Take care, Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Gary! We need to have a conversation some time about why the softer wood is so difficult to turn compared to the harder heartwood. 😊

[@colleenkopp56]

SUPER DUPER in my book!! Would look terrific on my coffee table!!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Perfect! 😊

[@carolriley8472]

Phil, that is so gorgeous...you made the right decision! I'm like you...I love the imperfections that create character in our turnings!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yay, great minds, Carol! 😊

[@alanq64]

First thing that came to mind when I saw it was a Mountain Dwarf with a flowing beard. Another great looking piece. Thank you.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@JaquithShadoff]

I really like your approach to what you preserve of the unusual features of the original piece. They're certainly gorgeous.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you like them, thank you! 😀

[@duane4141]

Fill that up with M&Ms and I believe you got a real winner on your hands

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

With M&M's you always have a winner, Duane! 😊

[@kevinhowell3527]

Beautiful piece Phil. That Homer would certainly scare the kids! Love it.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wonderfully patterned I love the bowl. Of course I look at others who turn, but to me you are the best artist who takes advantage of what nature has given you. And I like that. Carsten

Homer it is!! As you were holding the finished bowl, all I could think of was, Phil turned a bowl out of an alligator head😂 The bark reminds me of an alligator’s skin,. In true fashion you have created another beautiful piece!!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

You are not wrong, Dale. It did look like an alligator head in the beginning. Thanks, glad you like it! 😊

You only get one shot at this game Phil & you never know what's going to happen. Very Beautiful Live Edge Bowl Turning, Sanding & Finishing Phil. Total WINNER!!! TM

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Oh yeah, I wonder that all the time, Tuffy. As you say, you only get one shot at it. I don't think I ever regret my decision but, we'll never know which might be the best outcome! LOL!

[@BobbyGriffett]

[@kathleenposton2334]

Well done, sir, well done!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@prsearls]

That is beautiful! It's a tough decision how to turn a piece like this. I'm glad it was not up to me! I always learn something new watching your videos. They inspire me what can be done with an unusual shape of wood and give me encouragement to try it myself. I'm often surprised (amazed even) how well these can turn out, even for a novice like myself. Thanks!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you very much, Paul! I'm glad you are finding some of the information to be useful! 😊

[@judebordelon3883]

I love ur homer bowl Phil

😊

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

I may have been tempted to just make slices of this on the band saw and use them for wall art or centerpieces for hot items on the dinner table. Good job working this out.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@stg6186]

I see a standing seagull on the bottom. Anybody else see it? Great job Phil and thx for the great videos
