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.

Thank you for being here with me, Crystal! 😀

[@BobbieJeanM]

That was a BEAST to work on! I’m glad for your sake they all aren’t that difficult! The outcome is amazing and definitely includes a salamander! Another beautiful piece of art! 👌💕

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! 😀

That’s outstanding, Phil! I did see the salamander right away. There is just so much variation in color and texture-it really has a lot of character! Mighty generous of Kerry to share that lovely piece of wood with you! And as usual, you made the most of it. Gorgeous!

Good Day, Phil, I have just started watching 👀, it looks like someone is jumping for joy and waving their arms, just when you stopped turning the bottom there is a big crack in the bottom which is dark, around the nine minute 24 to 3 second bracket just catching the right area. It looks like a young child or somebody running and jumping for joy, 😂, and carry on watching, it’s going to be very very,

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Several comments about dancing, jumping, etc. All I see is the salamander! 😀

I sure do, Garth! My generous viewers are what makes my channel interesting. We all get to learn about woods we might not ever see. Thanks for watching! 😀

[@vickiestevens1699]

I saw lots of critters in this humongous piece. A salamander, a platypus, a bear, and a sumo wrestler lying on their side. That was fun. 🥰

[@tuffymartinez]

Thank You Phil, Thank You Kerry...SOOOOOOO MUCH FUN PHIL...(My heatwave has kept me up and I fell asleep watching you turn. Re-wind, again, re-wind, ha)... You have created a wonderful piece to be proud of!!!!... Also your signature, classic, vintage wristwatch is something I have always noticed but never commented on A#1👍... Kerry I'm sure glad you gifted to Phil!!! TONS OF FUN PHIL TM

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Tuffy! Oh, I hate trying to sleep in the heat! I don't mind you dozing off in the middle of my blood, sweat and tears as long as you re-wind, buddy! LOL! Someone once asked me how often I replace my watch (I'm sure he meant because it must get damaged wearing it while turning) and I said, "oh, about every 20 years I guess." I think I've had this Seiko longer than that! 😀

[@donaldadams5342]

It's ALWAYS a pleasure to spend time with you Phil, you keep us engaged with you by your relaxed & informative commentary, we ride every revolution with you. It does not matter which way you look at this piece because there is NO single 'front', it is absolutely beautiful from EVERY direction. You are definitely a sensitive, artistic woodturner & a master of your craft. The grain is SO beautiful & varied as one would probably expect from a burl & the finish is great. Thanks for sharing & stay well my friend. Cheers mate, Don from South Aust.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, Don, I appreciate your great comment! 😀

[@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!

[@CraigInNC]

WOW! The pattern of the burl pops. I like the dancer inclusion in the base side. Is there such thing as a Milton tree? A Burl from that would be comedic.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

LOL! 😀

[@ronvilla5149]

Absolutely gorgeous Phil!! At 1st I thought you should've taken the bowl out farther, but as always, your eye made the correct choice. 👏👍

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Ron! 😀

[@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! 😀

[@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!!

[@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!

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.

Phil, that burl made a beautiful bowl! I can't see any side that is my favorite, that being the case my vote for the front side is the one directly opposite the back side. There is no way to be wrong with that approach. I hope you didn't get too tuckered out, I can't imagine the bumpin' and thumpin' you had to endure, but the results are truly one of a kind.
