Sassy Sassafras! - Wood Turning

[@louisjcharlett8509]

Band saw box with bark.....what a surprise! Oh, nice bowl Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@1954JDR]

That bowl is more beautiful than the last sassafras bowl. A square bowl was an excellent choice.

[@garydawson3184]

Phil- It’s all turning but every piece is different. Seems like you always discover what the piece ought to become - and with discipline and attention to detail, you make it the best it could be. It’s always a joy to watch. Praying for peace and healing.

Oh I love the ban box you showed us. It's very unique. Now you've shown me a square round bowl!!! You're teaching this old woman a lot about wood and how you create these beautiful works of art. It's nice to realize I'm not too old to learn about our amazing mother nature.😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks so much, Mary! 😊 Mother Nature has a lot to offer!

[@maddieadams75]

I love this sassy square bowl, beautiful beautiful grain design. ♥️

Hi Phil Beautiful as always! I had to write you, I'm sitting here catching up with your posts recovering from rotator cuff surgery not able to do my favorite things, kayak fishing and wood turning:( My 14 yr old son walked in and asked watcha doin Dad? I'm watching my favorite wood turner , he watched a bit and remarked that you had a pleasant voice and manner. He said you are the Bob Ross of wood turning. How right he is. Thank you so much for your inspiration over the years.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you very much, Robert! Tell your son I appreciate his comment, too! 😊

[@lindasnow3960]

This sassy safrass is lovely. The soft shin of the grain is so nice? The texture, the bead, the shape! So very beautiful!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, Linda! 😊

[@jodygaines7691]

Love both your Bandsaw box and your Square bowl. Both are Beautiful.

A Candy dish for root beer barrels!! Another beauty! Thanks for showing us.

[@maxhunt2644]

An almost regular bowl...that's different! You STILL put your own little spin on it. The grain is awesome in sassafras. When you wet the bark, I instantly had a craving for bacon! When I was a kid, mom & dad would take me out in the woods looking for sassafras saplings. They're not hard to find in Central Indiana. We would dig up a pound or two of roots and mom would boil them up in a huge cast iron kettle. Oh, the aroma! We'd have tea, homemade sassafras ice cream and hard candy. It was a dream for a kid...ahhh, those were the days! Thanks Phil!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Sounds idyllic, Max! 😊

[@ThePapa1947]

Not sure where Sassafras grows but it sure is pretty. The grain is very special and with this it seems better bit to get a perfectly flat sanding job just to be able to feel it. Great finish as well and I like the ring. I just finished a big bowl and put a ring on it. Something I usually do not do. The bowl is not square and sure is not round either. You will have to wait a week to see it as I decide to use Danish oil and it is not drying as fast as would like. A bit cold around here I am thinking. I bet your bowl would be great for ice cream because you might have something that taste like a root beer float LOL. Great job buddy, Gary

[@williamellis8993]

Hey, Gary, we have sassafras growing here in Ohio. I have some in my woods. It's an interesting tree because it has three different leaves growing at once. Bill

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

LOL! Root beer float! Leave it to you, my friend! 😊

[@lindasnow3960]

That bandsaw box is absolutely gorgeous! What lovely work!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Used to love when my grandma gave me sassafras root to chew a loose tooth out. What a beautiful square bowl.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

[@susannah4Him]

I love this bandsaw box!! So cool! And the sassafras bowl is beautiful, too! The grain is amazing.

My grandmother always had a big bag of Sassafras shavings for tea. I loved it. Can’t find it anymore. You’re right, it smells(& tastes!) amazing.

[@bmacdougall53]

I love that box. Wow 🙃💜

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@katm6]

I'm never all that confident that I'm going to like it once you announce that it's going to be a winged bowl. So far, you've always proven me wrong. You made me chuckle when you said, "I'm right again." re: the Zinzer sanding seal making the bark sparkle. That grain was so cool.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, I'm glad I could give you a chuckle, Kathleen! 😃

[@rickcollins4762]

Another thoughtful work of art instead of just a round bowl. Love natural edged pieces. Great job.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

[@eyremar]

WOW WOW WOW. Band Saw box is beautiful. Have never heard of one. ( no reason I should have😲). Recipients of the 2 you gave away are blessed. Thanks for sharing on this video. Great work on the bowl. I enjoy your creations and that you do not have an assembly line of items that all look alike. Each piece is unique in it's own right, square, round, tall, short, etc. And you were able to enjoy the words aroma. Thanks for sharing.

[@kitterzy]

As a child/teen I lived in the forest and there was quite a bit of sassafras mixed in. (Michigan) I used to break off the new branches, peel the green bark off, and chew the pulp. It was sort of a strong mint/root beer flavor to it. I’ve never seen a large piece of sassafras as the trees were less than 8” in diameter. That’s all gone now because mostly Chicago people had their vacation homes built in that area and cleared a lot of the forest around my childhood home. Kinda cool to see that sassafras can be turned.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]
