The PERFECT Pear! - Wood Turning

I don't often have a perfect piece of wood to turn from and that's perfectly OK! Many know I love the imperfections in nature for my turnings. But, I must admit, this was fun! No problems, no soft wood, voids, cracks, etc. Just nice tight bark and an excellent example of Bradford Pear. Beautifully finished in shellac!

There once was man who turned wood He'd turn any wood that he could Although some started quite funky, and perhaps even punky The results were always quite good Happy birthday Phil!

You hit the nail square on the head. Very few people can recognize or use their talent that GOD gave them. He is not afraid to show and teach the WORLD his talents. All of us are very fortunate to have witnessed his greatness at work.

A poet I am not, A Birthday Wish thought. A bowl turned by Phil, with plenty of knots. A crack in a bowl, or a crack of a joke. Phil will lather shellac all over the oak. Tune in each week, For a fun filled peek. Happy Birthday Phil ❤🎉 🎂 🥳

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that, Maddie! Seems like poetry to me! 😄

Well, my brother's birthday is Oct. 1st as well. Happy Birthday, Phil! I wasn't prepared for poetry, so let's see what I can do on the fly. I hope your day is special, and your daughter brings you treats, because you are a good guy, and are nice to those you meets. As you have reached a special age, you won't have to fret and worry, Because you've earned the right to set the pace, and not to hurry. I thank you for the many times, that I've enjoyed your stuff, with lots of bark and spalting, it feels great, it's never rough. I've done my best, my brain is tired, Have a good birthday, enjoy being retired. Make a wish, William Fawkes

Happy Birthday Phil! How many times have you been around the sun? Here's a poem I really like. It's not mine: "These Hands From God" Etches of landscapes and silhouettes of faces, paintings of starlit nights and far off places- My existence is encompassed by the creative arts, and with my two bare hands is where it starts. But lately woodworking has been deep in my heart. A few pieces of rough cedar to start off my day, take some short or long nails and hammer away. Making signs or shelves for myself or my family, so that all can see my heart and soul’s creativity. I now live joyous with a purpose, o so happily. My late sister Karen woodworked in her ol’ garage. She’d make beautiful trellises or create a frame collage. So now as I stand with all my tools in my hand, her inspiration and motivation I completely understand. This hobby was unexpected, so utterly unplanned. I engrave personal names with a heated pen. Start at eight in the morn and do it all over again. There are so projects and ideas stuck in my head, “you are so very gifted”, my dear husband said. To an epiphany of aspirations, I have been led. Now I tell you these things because I’m satisfied with the artisan woman in me; so hard I’ve tried. I shall show you just how much I am elated as in complete happiness I am saturated. For with these hands from God, beauty I’ve created. Hobbies Poetry Contest Julie Leigh Rodeheaver February 5, 2019

Phil YOU totally complete my 3 day (semi-retired) work week. I stretch your show out as long as possible with rewinds, pauses, watch again. I am totally ready for this mystical place called "Shady Acres Woodshop"...I like your artistic camera angle at 3:42...Perfect A, B, C's of turning a live edge bowl. A lot of the traditional handles by Colonial Silver Smith would use fruitwood handles like Pear, Apple. I guess for its beauty and is a stable wood? I never saw a Live Edge Handle on a fancy silver tea pot., now that's a thought, ha.

Every now and then, a simple project, without defects, turns into something just a bit over the top. This, I think, is a great example. Saturday is your birthday? well, may you have a great day and many more to come. I'm not a poet, but here goes; When you turn some perfect wood, it will turn out like it should You work away without a care, with no stumbles, snags or tears. You are always up to snuff, even when the turning's tough so carry on and have some fun, and create for us another one Happy Birthday Phil. ;-)

Of all Phil's bowl blanks, rank and fair; A simple beauty came from Bradford pear. Happy birthday, and many more! Enjoyed watching you turn a sound piece of wood, probably as much as you enjoyed turning it. Don't get me wrong, I love your other turnings too, as they challenge me to take a 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) look at a piece before deciding if it really is just firewood. But sometimes it is nice to just have a GOOD piece of wood for turning. Wes @ Piedra Designs

Wonderful, Diane, thank you! 😄

[@bwrightaway2877]

His name is Phil, he isn't a fool, "mask and face shield on", before he picks up his tool. Happy birthday, Phil!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

There was a woodturner named Phil, He masterfully turns with skill. His humor and wit Are so very keen, Best 30 minutes we've ever seen! Happy birthday to you and so much more, We thank you for entertaining us to our core. Be well and keep turning!! Thank you. Susan in TX The previous one giving me credit was written and posted by my hubby. I don't deserve the credit.

I like the distance shot where we get to see you! I don’t know that I have ever seen your face Phil! Thanks for all you teach us. Hope your health is improving. You are in my prayers. Also a big thank you for showing the “how to’s” on how you figure out using the tail stock to lay out the recess and setting the wood screw. Can you tell me the name of your 90 degree sander? Been trying to find one… It’s my birthday today, so early birthday to you! You inspire all the unknown faces In unknown places, To turn small treasures Is such a pleasure, To watch, and then to try To be like you, The turning guy. In acres of Shady Wood, Your lessons to us are always good. Thank you Phil for being there, A showing us a bowl from pear!

Excellent, Greg, thank you! Happy Birthday! 😄 It's a Ryobi 18 volt, right-angle cordless drill. Mine is the older blue model available on eBay sometimes and the newer models are green.

Every tree in my wooded area that loses a branch has me looking at the color and grain. So far black cherry is my favorite. But now I see trees in a whole new light 😆

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Very cool, thanks, Dana! 😊

Happy birthday from Blighty Phil. An easy turn as a present. Looks gorgeous. I say easy… however when I try it I always have trouble sanding the wings. You make it look soooo easy. There was a young man called Phil With a lathe and some wood he could thrill The viewers were caught and could not turn away As this was their weekly pill.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

HA! Love it, Stephen, thank you! 😄

[@andythenurse67]

It's your birthday dear soul, you certainly make a good bowl. With such wood you take care, especially Bradford Pear. So stay hale and hearty, for it's time now to party. Remember It's your birthday not a wake, Go on have another slice of cake. Happy Birthday Phil from The Naughty Rhyming Nurse
