💥MASSIVE Maple BURL Bowl! 😲 Wood Turning

[@JaquithShadoff]

Burls are intrinsically beautiful and artistic oriented folks like you can and do enhance them and turn them into usable interior pieces for a home.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Jaquith! 😀

[@crystalswenson8844]

What do I think? I think you are a master at finding art that is hiding in wood! Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you for being here with me, Crystal! 😀

[@billc.6381]

Absolutely stunning! Masterful work on nature’s beauty! I turn a lot of burls. They are quite difficult but always come out showing off God’s hidden work.

[@johnadams1909]

Beautiful piece. I'm going to cut some burls on my neighbors land next week. Wish me luck !

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

@@johnadams1909 Luck! 😊

[@lucasb1324]

You're lucky to have friends like that, that bit is expensive. And you finish the piece very professionally. The bowl is absolutely wonderful, a new work of art ala Phil Andersen. ❤ Carsten 👨‍🦽

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yes, I'm the luckiest woodturner alive, Carsten! What a great group of viewers! 😀

Phil I agree with everything that everyone has had to say good about you. Yes you are a Master .

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Michael! 😀

[@AuntieRoma]

Hi Phil, This is amazing! I love burl. So beautiful! I see all kinds of fun things in it. I won’t list them all. 😉 Instead of a salamander, I see a young girl dancing! Inside I see the Cowardly Lion, or maybe just a cat. Blue Ribbon or Gold Medal 🥇 to you on this piece. Take care and enjoy your week! Hugs and more to you always! ✨💫 Roma 🌲💚🌳🦅

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Awesome! Thank you, Roma! Lots of dancing girl comments. I just see the salamander! Oh, well. Probably eating too healthy, lately. LOL! Thank you, my friend and HUGs back at you! 😀

[@scottcates]

Wow! The shape is perfect -- kind of like a volcano from the side views. The sheen is ideal -- not too much shiny-shiny to detract away from the colors and grain. The chatoyance is infinitely awe-inspiring -- love those rays inside the bowl. This is more gem-cutting than wood turning. Beautiful, all around.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you very much, Scott! 😀

[@ThePapa1947]

Massive describes it very well Phil. I was going to finish my coffee and head out to my lathe but now I need to rest after watching you work so hard. But the hard work was well worth the effort. I did see a number of faces and animals but my head was spinning from watching all the cool features I lost them. But they are there...really LOL The finish is perfect for the piece as it always is. Great choices all the way through this fun video to watch. Take care and rest up my friend, Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Gary! Yeah, it was a lot of work but I expected that. I just love the outcome and I'm glad you do, too! 😀

[@Hog-g2z]

Hi 👋, Phil, That is definitely a gorgeous piece of Art, well worth the time and effort, I think I can see a face in the bowl, bear 🐻, a with a white tongue sticking out, 😛, 😂, great work, Phil, I still have a lot of work to do on my work shop, mainly to insulate the roof, and need to run some cables for lighting, And I have some leftover floor paint my workshop back in the UK from years ago, I’m going to get the floor at least another coat, then I’m going to get some white floor paint to go over the top, as it is made the room very dark, And I have been Wrench this week, it the process of changing final drive belt, I need to get out as I have been locked in for 4/5 years, Keep up the great work, stay safe, France.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yes, get out and enjoy some French sunshine! 😀

[@mavourneenhalvorsen3935]

Phil, on the back I see a monkey dancing for a little bird. On the inside I a boy giving a rose to a fairy. I love your work. Mavourneen

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I love that, thank you, Mavourneen! 😀

[@scottpeterson5913]

Phil, that is a wonderful piece of art! In all honesty, I do not think there is another turner out there who could have turned as nice of piece of beauty as you have done. Of course, it’s a Shady Acres creation!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Scott! 😀

[@markporter4442]

Yep, another fantastic piece of work and a bonus is having a lizard on the underside of this piece.

Phil you did a mighty awesome job on this one! As usual. It is really gorgeous! Burls are always so unusual. They are like snowflakes, no two are the same. Great, great job.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Michael! 😊

[@marilyngianadda1661]

That is beyond wow! Phil it was worth all your hard work! I love to watch you work and your informative commentary. You are very precious to me, I am home bound and I look forward to my time with you. Love from South Africa.❤

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you very much, Marilyn! May the sun shine in through the windows for you, today! 😀

[@karenwarner9745]

Nicely done Phil! I’m glad to hear that you prefer the natural properties that might cause a bowl to remain thick. I have found that truth in some of my turnings too, but am a little sheepish that I didn’t thin the bowl out further. This piece is a showcase for natural bowls everywhere. Thanks so much!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, thanks Karen! 😃 I do like bowls that are a little chunky. They have some heft that give a feeling of value, to me. On the other hand, I usually try to make them as thin as the characteristics of the wood will allow. Luckily for me, I like weird wood so they often have thick sides because otherwise, they would have holes in them!

[@perrys5954]

Oh my gosh this was an absolute beauty!!! Can definitely tell that wood had to have been super hard! Argh I am really falling in love with Maple!! Can't wait until I have a lathe large enough to do big pieces like this! I know it must have been a ton of work but well worth the effort in my humble opinion!!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks! It was a beast to turn! 😀

[@apostolicoutdoors]

Beautiful! I see a cowardly lion or a sad bear @27:49. Thanks for another great piece!!

[@albertdawson6814]

It's a beauty for sure Phil. Again thank you for sharing. I will see you next week

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Albert! 😀

[@stephenmccool8127]

Maple is beautiful wood. Nature sometimes makes it even more beautiful with tiger stripes or birds eye...but at the top of that list is the burl. It takes a true master to expose what might otherwise have been wasted or burned. Your patience and craftsmanship and eye for beauty have rewarded us all with something truly outstanding. It looks amazing from any angle you present. I could hear the exhaustion in your voice towards the end. Thank you for finishing it for us to see. Absolutely stunning!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, Steve! 😀

Hi Phil this is an awesome Maple Burl it has wonderful grain and all the nooks and crannies they make the Burl stand out. When you look in the inside of this piece it looks like two eyes and a mouth.The live edge Maple bowl is magnificent full of character The bottom looks like its got a lizard on it. I love it its in the top 5 of your items you have made . Take xare Amanda xx❤

[@deirdrebaker9601]

Hello Phil. At about minute 27, you ask, "can you see the salamander"? My mother and I both got a smile from that because she saw a gekko and I saw a sugar glider. :-). I get the impression that turning a burl is a bit like opening a geode, in that you are almost certain to find something delightful inside it. Anyway, as always, thank you, thank you for bringing us these videos.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yes, very much like that, Deirdre! 😀

[@huberthicks9080]

The grain is fabulous, Phil. No soup for you! Nicely done.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

You could try, Bobby! 😀

[@davidscullbonz]

I’d been watching the salamander all through the video, and was happy to hear you mention it while showing the finished bowl. I’ve actually heard a few people say they “suffer” from pareidolia, but I take a bit of pride in raising mine to an art form unto itself. So you can take my word for it: yes, there are several human and animal figures, most notably a crouching lion on the back side. Thank you for another great video.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, thanks, David! 😀

[@janeoverby2151]

Oh my goodness! Iy is simply STUNNING! What a wonderful gift. Then tosee how you incorporated the nature into the bowl is just beautiful.
