Woodturning Red Cedar 🐒 Banana Bowl! - Wood Turning

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

I have left the mound in the middle on a few bowls and use them to hold toothpicks and fill the bowl with cheese cubes or fruit cubes. Works for parties. Love the final look of the bowl.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool idea, Jeff, thanks! 😊

[@ceciliarunnoe1463]

I am imagining the fresh cedar fragrance in your workshop. That natural edge is quite lovely.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Oh yes, quite a nice fragrance! Thank you, Cecilia! 😀

[@gregdownunderinOz]

Beautiful Phil, red cedar is a bit soft for 80 grit sandpaper. You’re a much better turner than that Phil.that’s very purple piece of red cedar.down here in Oz the cedar I’ve turned tends to be more redder, bright red though. I always prefer to remove bark if the bowl is going to be used for food. In this case it looks much better without bark. I was surprised that you didn’t level the 2 sides up before putting tenon on bottom I’m sure I’ve seen you do this in the past by initially turning between centres. As others have stated we also call them blow torches here in Oz as well. Rest job Phil. Don’t mind my criticisms, I’m just curious. All the best to you and family from down under. Keep on turning as we all enjoy watching and listening to you Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yeah, that wasn't me, Greg. I get criticized for not putting between centers, first, all the time! LOL! I'm glad you like it, thank you! 😊

[@SandyHoera]

Hey Phil.. I started turning about 5 months ago and I just wanted to tell you, how thankful I am for you and your videos.. I’m hooked on live edge bowls now 😅 I‘m learning so much from you - thanks for sharing, mate. 🙏🏼

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

That is awesome! Welcome to the club! 😀

[@Jack-pj8bu]

Well done! I have some cedar logs; I believe I'm inspired to do a "banana bowl".

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yay! Have fun, Jack! 😊

[@brunomerk7635]

Wow what a colour and you got a really nice finish on it. Looks really good, well done

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Bruno! 😊

[@mnp1964]

Wow Phil does that ever look pretty love the look of red cedar I like edge with out the bark good choice to take it off Blessings

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you like it, thank you! 😊

[@karenramsey1694]

Beauitful

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Karen! 😊

[@ThePapa1947]

Great looking banana boat Phil! The natural edge looks great and better than the bark would have looked in my opinion. The colors of Red Cedar are so nice and the contrast of the sapwood really shows it off. It sure did drink up the shellac. Wow at the cost of shellac today that bowl is very valuable LOL. Another enjoyable video to watch my friend, Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, yeah, I better put this one in the safe! LOL! Thank you, my friend! 😊

[@mariabasil9631]

Beautiful color! 😊 Enjoy your warm weather on the way!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I did enjoy it, Maria but, now it's cool and rainy! Dang it! 😊

[@jnol9009]

Very purdy bowl Phil! Luv the color in this one. Well done! Thx and take care.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you! 😊

[@RichOstermeier]

Phil, very nice turning! Thanks for sharing!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Very nice. I fully agree with your choice to shed the bark on this one. It was just too loose to worry with.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I think so too! 😊

[@ArmandaV-s4b]

that bowl is so beautiful you did it again success

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much 😊

[@garrettperkins5804]

Phill ,had my doubts early on ,but as always beautiful job ,.Enjoyed watching ,always do .Keep them coming. May God bless and keep you.. ...

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you enjoyed it Garrett, thank you, Kindly! 😄

[@ILWT1955]

What a beautiful bowl. Love the redwood. Hope indeed for you to get the 70 degrees. Again an absolutely gorgeous bowl. Love it.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks! We got the 70° but now it's cool and raining! 😊

[@1957Loyal]

Hey Phil. The coloring of that wood is amazing. I love watching you turn nothing into something. 😊😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks a bunch 😊

[@renegonzalez8070]

It's called a flame thrower. You once said on an earlier video that you let the wood dictate what it wants to do and I'm glad you did that with the bark those grains on top are awesome beautiful wood turning. May God bless you for making these video's we truly enjoy your work 🙏

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, Rene! 😊

[@Qwertyuiop84828]

To an Englishman, a flame thrower is more along the lines of a military weapon you might see in a WWII film. A small handheld torch with a flame is called a blow torch.

[@hlwis]

Allowing the wood to do its thing and tell me what it wants to be is my philosophy on turning. Very rarely will I set out to make something specific and it's usually a box of some sort or it's a handle for a tool.

[@rinopelida]

Try "Gas torch"

[@ianleonard7227]

Hi Phil, lovely colour in that wood. I think we would call it a blow torch.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Ian! 😊

[@owenpinney3689]

Another triumph, thank you for allowing us to enjoy your production, again. It is just as well that we 'Brits' do not take offence too readily at remarks made by 'Colonials', perhaps because we are well used to receiving them! Winston Churchill, who was half American, once said that Britain and America were two countries divided by a common language, your experience goes to prove his point. I look forward to enjoying future productions, they are always great experiences.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks for your delightful comment, Owen! 😊

[@1fastFreddy4sure]

Yep I like it Phil ! as always a fun turning ! ! !

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@MH-qq3kj]

The bowl is beautiful and I like the new camera angle near the beginning. It shows everything that is going on.👍

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, Thank you! 😊

[@jaeography]

I always enjoy youre commentary during the turning and the beautiful work you do

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you! Cheers! 😄

[@back-corner-turnings]

I think my favorite part of turning red cedar is the way it makes my shop smell!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@robertrobb3159]

It is great how you a teacher in wood turning. When I purchased my lathe I was hoping to take classes from someone close to where I live. Well, I never found a place to do that. Again, thank you!!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Watching KZbin videos is how I learned to turn, Robert. We use what we have. Thank you! 😊

[@judithfairchild8620]

That's beautiful colors. Really great bowl😊🎉

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Judith! 😊

[@cathyfraser7145]

this is a gorgeous bowl. Love the red cedar

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@beslimp]

WOW!!! That’s just beautiful and I’m glad you let the bark go because cedar doesn’t have pretty bark to begin with (in my opinion) but you made the bowl as prettier as I’ve ever seen! Thank you for sharing. I always look forward to your projects. God bless you! Barbara

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, Barbara! 😊

[@GordonRock1]

I love the colour of the Heartwood, Phil. Absolutely gorgeous and the finish you ended up with is just beautiful, my friend. Not real glossy, but I do like a nice satin finish. Brilliant video, buddy! Take care, ….,Gord

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, Gord! Have a great day, my friend! 😊

[@ljgault]

Phil, I love it!! I have several pieces of east Texas cedar I re-sawed to make little boxes. Looks the same.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, thanks! 😊

[@laurazakrzewski]

Another awesome beautiful project Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you like it, Laura, thanks! 😊

[@andyn6266]

Here in the North of the UK,we call them blow torches. Nice job as always Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Andy! 😊

[@judebrown4103]

​@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop that's it, well done Andy, I'm from the southeast and that's what we call them too...when we can remember!! 😂

[@mortonbortell3755]

My favorite cedar are pieces that had branches. The graining with the color is absolutely gorgeous. I try but I am pretty inept at using a bowl gouge larger than 3/8" for smoothing sides or the bottom, although going small seems to help a lot. I got so frustrated I decided to try a 1" left hand bowl scraper and a 3/4" round/side cut scraper and am very happy with the results. Another beautiful bowl Phil!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'm glad you worked out a solution, Morton! 😊

[@TubieMcTubington]

Beautiful piece! I love the color. I bet turning the cedar smelled really good.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Tubie! 😊

[@edwardhand7070]

As always awesome piece Phil. Keep up the great work, and happy turning my friend. ☺️

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you kindly, Edward! 😊

[@tuffymartinez]

Thank You Phil, Thank You John Fergerson... I liked the camera shoulder view Phil, a little different angle...Torch?, yea a torch. That thing that lights up and Brit's keep in the boot or the car, right ? (I love it, so different) ha. Culinary supply stuff uses mini torches for Creme Brulé's. I think they use it to carnalize the top of the deserts?...Nice turning today Phil & as always I look forward to your next adventure...Boy that before & after pictures at the end is quite different.... TM

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Tuffy is back! I do have one of those kitchen torches, I just don't think they have enough heat to burn wood, efficiently. But, now I know what to search for! 😊

[@felocarp]

Very nice, Phil! I have a whole bunch of red cedar waiting to be turned. Excited, now, to see what it might look like when I get to it. Love the colors and the shape. Thanks!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Greg! 😊

[@Hog-g2z]

Hi 👋, Phil, what is burning, 🔥, A small gas torch for soldering copper pipe, and if you want to go the other way, roofing gas torch, or weeding gets torch, might find these a bit too big, you’ll end up burning your place down, I have a roofing torch, it does a lovely job of getting rid of weeds, . Had problems this evening. Sorry it’s morning, couldn’t sleep very well, so I got up around 3 o’clock in the morning and started watching your program, I know, had a problem, the au pair girl 🧒 😂 and obviously been cleaning my hi-fi equipment, I had no sound, it appears the mute button had been pressed, silly, Billy, 😂, and yes, I listen to my KZbin through my hi-fi equipment, As per usual, the bowl looks amazing, that was definitely a lot of signing sealer and shellac to get a finish on it, but as we know you’ll get there on the end, And I have made a bit of progress with my workshop come garage, I’ve now got the DPM down, getting ready to lay concrete. Might be doing it this coming week, Keep up the great work. Stay safe.,

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

This all sounds great, I know you are looking forward to it! 😊

[@harveyy4492]

I love Red Cedar. Nice smelling and closets lined with it are naturally moth protected. You did your usual great job of bringing out the beauty of the wood.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks so much, Harvey! 😊

[@beverlym5465]

Beautiful banana bowl! I love it!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you! 😊

[@CaptJohn-op3bf]

Very pretty bowl Mr. Anderson! I've turned some bowls from Tennessee Red Cedar my friend brought me. Very pretty wood but dulled tools very quickly. Read that it has lots of "silica" in it that tends to dull your tools quicker. The dust can also be somewhat poisonous or toxic to some people, so keep your mask on...

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Good tips, Cap, thanks! 😊

[@mandyray23]

That’s lovely and I bet it smelt amazing too. I can just imagine.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, MandyRay! 😊

[@pippin1ful]

Bea-utiful result, Phil! Good that you got rid of the bark on this piece. Red cedar is a lovely wood, full of colour and character.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Richard! 😊

[@baydonsmith2238]

Love turning cedar. I have a lot of nice pieces to turn when I finish some production jobs. Love the smell! I usually make some sachets to give away. I think you made some for your wife years ago. Nice banana bowl! 😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Baydon! Yes I did! 😊

[@Winterbourne_wood_turning]

It’s called a propane torch Phil. Nice job on that super soft wood.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@Aaah-Mazn-Creations]

You tuned a beautiful banana bowl, it turned out just gorges. I have a lot of experience turning red cedar. Depending what you are turning, bark or barkless, there is some hidden beauty under the bark. The bark leaves a grain stain underneath that a lot of times make the project pop. Here in Jefferson City Missouri, most of our forest is just THICK with Red Cedar and we dont have a lot of other woods to chose from to turn. Since you a root/bowl turner, the red, white and burl like grain pattern in the bottom of the bowl can be spectacular. The multi different colors and wild grain patterns blend themselves and are indescribable!!!! I haven't tried to burn the top of the bowl where the bark was. I had another SENIOR MOMENT and didn't even think about that method. Leave it to you to suggest that, that is why I ( LOVE) your channel, I learn some thing every time I watch your video. KEEP ON TURNING ❤

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much for your great comment! 😊

[@stephenmccool8127]

Where is my smell-o-vision? I know that smells awesome. I respect your choice of finishes, but I've found that after sanding sealer, polyurethane works best on cedar. Looks good and keeps the red from fading over time. Just my 2 cents. A beautiful bowl out of beautiful wood. And it's always a pain to keep the bark. Thanks Phil. Great job!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'm sure you are right, Steve. I just try to stay with natural finishes, now. Wipe on poly used to be my go to. 😊

[@garyg3617]

Great bowl. We call them a blow torch.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Gary! 😊

[@avago2day]

Another lovely bowl Mr Anderson, you make it look so easy! We call them blow lamps or blow torches, I think we find it equally confusing to call a torch a flashlight if it doesn't flash 😉 Jane ❤

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, so confusing, Jane! 😊

[@judebrown4103]

Phil, I forgot to say how much I enjoyed the new camera angles too, made a nice change to see you at work. 👍😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Jude! 😊

[@laurimccreary4197]

Phil: Long time viewer. thanks for sharing your talents, insights and tips. My tip: I bought a Sondiko butane torch off Amazon. Inexpensive and not too large. Thanks again. Mac

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I was just looking at those, Lauri. Thank you! 😊

[@denisedonovan2639]

In New Zealand, a torch has batteries, or if it burns, it's a gas torch, flame torch, or flame gun. Love your cedar bowl, and i love the smell of cedar when I'm turning it.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Denise! 😊

[@dianeclemmer1344]

I got a little Bernzomatic burner! Torch! Pretty little bowl ❤️

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yeah, I've got to find the little ones, I've got the big ones! 😊

[@JohnFerraro]

Looks great 👍 I’ve turned a lot of red cedar, and it can be difficult. Like you said, it’s very soft and porous. Can’t do anything with that shredded paper like bark. The sapwood is too much like pine, and cracks so easily. Smells great, but the dust from cedar is a pain too. Sticks to everything like powdered sugar. But all that said, the heartwood is very pretty…and in the end, it’s always worth it. I’ve found to get a good shine go from the sanding sealer to something like Acks. Once the wax is on there, it really pops. You lose the smell, except for the bottom after removing the tenon. I use walnut oil for that part. Blends in well, and saves the wonderful cedar smell in at least that part of the project. Anyhow, wrote too much 😂

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks a lot, John! 😊

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Thank you John! A food torch/kitchen torch/ culinary torch/mini-flame torch all brought up the correct images on-line. You can also try either a restaurant supply/outlet or a smoke shop (casino?). I bought one at Walmart. They are also known as flambé torches for doing flaming desserts.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks for the info, Valerie! I was on a European site when I searched. I knew if I found one they would send it to me for free! LOL! Oh, well, they are not expensive, I'll get one! 😊

[@vickirothe3761]

Really pretty heartwood on this piece, and I don't miss the fuzzy bark.

Hi Phil Not sure how you would ever keep the bark on Eastern Red Cedar. Live trees can be stripped from top to bottom in long sheets. We have lots in South Western Ontario sometimes called Juniper. Beautiful natural edge "banana bowl" love the colour. Take care Bob

[@lyndaowen2154]

I think this red cedar is so pretty especially with a little bit of the yellow sapwood showing. I've done two bowls with red cedar, and I was just taking back by the beautiful color. The one you were doing now again has such beautiful color. I am learning the tenon w/ the extra " foot" like you are doing here. I really like the way that looks.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

[@reloadNshoot]

Thats a great looking bowl and should hold banana just perffctly. I just cut a big red cedar down and milled it into lumber. I do have some 4"-5" thick pieces to turn into bowls. Having the utmost sharpest cutting edges on tool will help the tear out on this soft wood. I like to spin stuff fast too that seems to help with the finish. Can beat fresh cut cedar as it looks great. It will oxidize quickly and UV plays havoc with the color. Left untreated in will go from a deep red purple color to brownish quicky.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks! No UV here at Shady Acres! 😊
