River Birch 👀 BUBBLE TOP 👀 Hollow Form! - Wood Turning

[@ThePapa1947]

Oh boy did you ever make the right choice on this one Phil! But your well tuned eagle eyes were not going to miss the beauty on the top half. Simply amazing looking Especial the compression grain WOW. Hard to improve on what nature left on the top side. So cool and I really love it. Now to dig through my pile where I know there is a piece of River Birch. I am afraid it will have to sit and wait. Hope it is not too long. Take care, Gary

[@calmwoodcreations3709]

I've got more of this if you're unsuccessful in your search..... I do know your address. 😉😁

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, buddy! Yeah, I dang near turned all that away! Thank goodness I had just got a cup of coffee and was just standing there, studying it. Merry Christmas, my friend! 😃

[@ThePapa1947]

I know when I get it flipper around I am thinking time to get rid of all that wood. Thank goodness for coffee LOL Merry Christmas my friend, Gary

[@TammyBurns-jt7db]

Turtle shell bowl!

[@chrisjohnston2449]

We do love a bowl with a story. Thank you for being the narrator of this story

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks for watching, Chris! 😊

[@nathanstevens6351]

Phil, I have been making my way through your back catalog, and I am thrilled to see you're still turning. You've likely heard it a thousand times, but your channel is great. Your attitude and enthusiasm are infectious. You're the Bob Ross of woodturning. Be well and have a great new year.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wow, thanks, Nathan! 😊

[@malcolmmcneill5403]

The battery ones are great too

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Andy, glad you enjoyed it! Take good care, my friend! 😊

[@kristikey8320]

I'm so glad you listened to me and made it a hollow form. I love it! It's shape reminds me of a native American basket.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Someone else said the same, Kristi, native American. Cool, thanks! 😊

[@texanasimmons1761]

My vote is save the compressiin ridges and make it a hollow form! Its already a beautiful piece of wood! I LOVE how you listen to the wood about what it wants to be! You nearly had a catastrophe but saved it! I LOVE this beautiful bubble bowl!❤

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, yup, it was almost the one that got away! Thank you, Texana! 😊

[@joyfulnoise6556]

He makes happy little bowls from all the happy trees!

[@cherm-k9b]

It's unique and I like it, too. Thank you, Anne! 😊

[@1954JDR]

The hollow form was an excellent choice. To me, it looks like a box turtle.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😃

[@MarkHandsaker-ir3xr]

It's about time you did something different. Good to see something that challenged your mind. Love to see this. Keep up with the different things that shows your still thinking . Great turning!

[@elainelucier6243]

Hi Phil. I think it looks rather like a square home. Hanging on a wall with a stuffed toy square peaking out .

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😃

[@pippin1ful]

Very good result from an ordinary lump ot wood. Well done, Phil!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

[@svicesv]

Thank you, Phil. Beautiful piece.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@KarlBunker]

I love it. This would have been pretty uninteresting as a regular bowl, but as a "bubble bowl" it really shows off the wonderful texture and colors of the wood!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Agreed, Karl, thanks! 😊

[@ItsMe-cg6th]

I love it so much!! I was screaming "hollow form!" Lol😅 You clearly heard me Phil! Thats just beautiful. And as far as usefullness, a shorter boquet or just a potpourri holder! I would love for that to be on display in my home. Thanks Phil!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, I definitely heard you! 😊

[@MrGM10]

I would call it just beautiful Phil, I love the design and finish. Thank you. Graham UK

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, thank you, Graham! 😊

[@jacquejecker4435]

Its amazing what you can make out of what anybody else would have just thrown in the firewood pile. Great job.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Jacque! 😊

[@ЛеонидБрыкун]

Доброго времени суток, Фил. Когда, я увидел Вашу заготовку, я подумал:-"Фил повторяется". Но нет. Вы никогда не повторяетесь. У Вас каждый раз новое изделие. Мне кажется, я бы не взялся за такую заготовку. Огромный старый сучок, внушительная трещина, но это Вас не пугает. Сделали отличный кувшин. После Вашего видео мне самому не страшно браться за такие заготовки. Спасибо за видео, спасибо за науку.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Я так рада, что ты примешь вызов! Это может быть очень полезно. Спасибо! 😊

[@scottfarnham2717]

Boy!! That turned out great Phil! I was skeptical at first. Lots of patience and TLC to get that one to the end in one piece. Well done, Phil!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Scott! 😊

[@darleneburton4195]

You just never know what treasure you’ll find in a chunk of wood. Beautiful!

[@philvale5724]

You mean you aren't here? Oh dear, now what? 😊

[@MalcolmNewman]

Good decision! I agree with the others saying it reminds them of a turtle shell. Beautiful work!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@garybeasley4885]

A neighbor gave me a pile of river birch I stored on the lower deck for several months. When I finally got back to it I found some highly patterned spalting in the wood, best Ive ever seen. Maybe one day you will luck onto some.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Sounds great, Gary! 😊

[@stevenzilverberg6458]

Enjoyed the video. I was glad you decided to undercut the inside. As a side note, I watched one of your older videos where you gave a tour of your shop and found out that we are almost neighbors. I live in north Lake Tapps. (Your privacy will be respected.)

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, thanks for telling me that, Steven! I know people watch from all over the world but I've always been curious if anyone around here watches! Howdy, neighbor! 😃

[@nielsfolestad826]

It looks like a turtle. Always a pleasure to watch you work and make something out of fire wood.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Nice save on taking the nub off. Haven’t see you move that fast to shut it down. I really like this turning. Just a cool looking piece of art. I would place it on a shelf to enjoy. The compression grain is very unique. I like it. Thanks for the show. Joel

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yeah, I should have stopped when I noticed half the nub missing, dang it! Thanks, Joel! 😊

[@MarklTucson]

What a wonderful piece! So glad you listened to our vote and chose to do a hollow form to preserve that fantastic top grain instead of doing a regular bowl. 😉😄 That just turned out fantastic! The shape reminds me of some of the native American pieces one might see. Really appreciated your discussion of how to examine cracks. Thanks for the video and to Dave at Calmwood creations for sharing the piece of wood.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Mark! Yes, I see the native American influence, too! 😊

Thank you, Marc! 😊

[@marjieyoung9570]

It sort of reminds me of a turtle shell. I can also just imagine a bird family loving to nest in it while it hangs vertically somewhere. They could show off the "open floor" plan to all their friends. 😂 This one is really nice Phil. I think you did a great job.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Marjie! 😊
