Gravenstein Apple 👀 Bowl For Tuffy! - Wood Turning

[@tuffymartinez]

Thank You Phil... I have not seen that old stump for some time. Brings back memories. For some reason night critters (Racoons?) enjoyed chewing on the trunk which slowly killed it. TONS-OF-FUN slowly watching you turn something I can personally relate to. I am a bit late posting cause I keep re-winding and taking my time. I personally planted that tree when I was younger & still running marathons, wow (my good ole' days?).Thank You Phil and I will be looking forward to all your future turning adventures..... TM

[@christinemiller7238]

I had an old apple tree I played in for years. Hearing your story made me think of my tree. Thank you for sharing it!

[@sangyenamdrol9392]

❤❤❤❤

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, I didn't know you planted it, too! Did it hurt your feelings to have to dig it up? It would have mine, I think. Well, at least you have revenge on those Racoons! 😀

[@janeoverby2151]

Tuffy, you have a beautiful bowl to remember that old tree. Phil is a true master! ❤

[@tuffymartinez]

@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop No it didn't hurt my feelings. It was dead and it was going to travel up north for it's second chance at life from your lathe. At the time I had zero idea it would ever make it's way back home again thanks to you Phil....TM

[@tonyturnswood]

Really great turn Phil! Very impressed with how you pulled this one off from concept to finish!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you enjoyed it, Tony, thank you! 😊

[@richardbryant7972]

Looks very rustic, I think it is very beautiful. Would be proud to display it in my home.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Richard! 😊

[@JohnMoeckel]

Good to see you still doing your thing, Phil. If you look at it from the right direction and angle, it looks like heart-shaped. The top opening anyway

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'll have to take another look, John! Tuffy has it now but I can look at the video. Thanks! 😊

[@johnermlich7882]

Phil, you finished well. You take a lot of time sanding, and it shows in the end

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

It's an important step, John, as you know. Thank you! 😊

Pretty bowl, I think. I had to rest after watching you create it. Looked like a lot of work. But well worth it I'm sure!

You really took on a challenging piece this week Phil ! But than , you are the master of weird bowls that are created out some pretty ugly pieces ! Great job . I think it's a beautiful bowl as far as I am concerned . It is so natural looking . Thanks for sharing this video and we hope you have a great weekend !

You should! When the neighbor goes on vacation, just dig up his apple tree, get the rootball and replant the tree. He'll never know! 😊

It was an absolute pleasure to spend a 1/2 hour watching you turn an extremely interesting root ball into a magnificent bowl. There are so many stunning features that you have been able to release for our pleasure. You have a rare feeling for the wood you turn, a deep understanding of your craft & a keen eye. I am sure Tuffy will be absolutely delighted with the wonder you have released from this root ball. Great grain too for the eye to enjoy & with a great finish. Thanks, my friend, for the pleasure you bring to SO MANY people. Stay safe & well, Don from South Aust.

He has it and says he likes it, so that was all I could hope for. Thanks for your great comment, Don! 😊

Howdy, Blair! 😊 You're late!

[@jimsweeney]

Hi Phil; to me, that looks like a grafted variety, so the muffin top and peculiar grain areas would be from the joint between the rootstock and the grafted scion. Maybe not the most beautiful of bowls, but super interesting.

Thank you, Jim! 😊

It came out great. I kept seeing the spot on the outside when you were spinning it by hand I kept thinking it looks cool and was trying to figure out what it was and then you said you weren't sure what it was. The different grains made it look amazing. Thanks again Phil for sharing with your KZbin family.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'm glad you like it, Doug, thank you! 😊

That root ball was, no doubt, the point at which the rootless apple tree was originally grafted onto the more robust "host" root system. Another fine job, Phil.

The grain and figure in this piece really are quite nice. The shape was dictated by the tree and has some interesting features throughout. Very cool story to go with the piece; it's neat that Tuffy will have this as a memory of the tree in the back yard.

Howdy Phil Such a beauty..... I see a almost full size chicken , on the inside and it is waving !

And saying hello with it right when . it is there and I am not drinking LOL keep on turnin'

[@tuffymartinez]

Hello Bruce. So I got up and brought the bowl back. I'm turning it around exactly as you describe. I see the right eye (& partial left), a long snout pointing to that crack like it's sniffing out what's inside? Kanda looks like a baby Raccoon? Bruce I seriously tried to see a Chicken but all I can see is this weirdo Raccoon. All I drink is water, tea, coffee & creamer (I know I'm boring). HA! Wait, now I see your Chicken with the tip of it's beak pointing to the top of the crack? Ah, maybe BUT that funny little Raccoon is what jumps out at me the most? Oh Well guess I will keep looking? I once saw a dog howling at the moon on Phil's dogwood turning on the inside of the bowl quite a while back but I think I was the only one. It got me going. A dog on a Dogwood turning I thought pretty neat-O but I think I was alone..... TM

Good morning 🌅, Phil, Not mushroom for error, 😂, when you first showed the face, I thought I could see the shape of a mushroom cap, 🧢, wrong sort of cap he does a bugger, 😂. The funny rippling marks that you were appointed to., I think could’ve been a route from another tree, or some stones a rock, 🪨 😂, as I turned something very similar three or four years ago which was a route and it had similar sort of marks, I know you like to keep the bark on, I think I have been inclined to remove it as you would’ve had more grain figuring under that bark, I seem to recollect that’s what I did to mine, all in all it turned out to be a nice project, stay safe, looking 👀 forward to your next adventure 😂, From old dude, 😂 France .

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you! 😊 For my turnings, I'm always trying to show the original tree, with the bark, contrasted with the beauty of the finished wood. Yeah, it would have had more beautiful grain to show but no contrast. It's just what I like to do, not necessarily the right thing for everyone.

[@Hog-g2z]

Phil it is Big, Bold and Beautiful! Tuffy will love it because it looks enough like the tree for those memories. Wow that finish looks as smooth as glass! The other thing it save me from heat stroke.

Hello Phil, goodness, have you ever before turned a piece of wood that gave you this much of an argument? My first thought upon seeing this was 'oh my, how wonderfully ugly it is. What is Phil going to do with this?' My mom says that she quite enjoyed seeing you 'pull the beauty out of that piece'. Many thanks to Tuffy for this and for so many others that he has sent to you. And many. thanks to you for accepting such a challenge and rising to meet it.

[@auntietara]

So nice to have a bowl from your own tree! We lost our 120-year old pin oak a couple years ago, and a friend turned some bowls for us out of pieces we saved. He did a set of three live-edge nesting bowls, two more live-edge with a bit of dark resin (that tree was really far gone), and one “standard” bowl. We’re so grateful to have those beautiful bowls made from our tree. Losing the tree was heartbreaking, but it was so rotten there was no saving it. I don’t know Tuffy, but if he enjoys his applewood bowl half as much as we love our pin oak bowls, you’ve done a great service to your friend. ps … ugly? Ummm … no. It’s different from what you usually do, and a bit bulbous, but gosh … it’s beautiful!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Lovely story, Tara. Those are my favorite turnings, too! Thank you! 😊
