One Of My Very Best and Favorites! - Wood Turning

This is Modesto Ash. I've turned it before and really enjoyed it. This piece took me a long time trying to figure out what to do with it but once I got it mounted on the lathe, it all came together. One of my favorite pieces and I hope you feel the same way. Finished in shellac.

Greetings from Humboldt County Ca. You should be the President of the funnel club, most of us end up with a hole, you’ll start with one.👍🏻👍🏻

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

LOL!

[@JohnGreenwoodPhotography]

Yep, that's a piece of art. "It's going to be a three way. A three way bowl. Don't get excited." Class!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

LOL! 😊

[@sianroberts3874]

Totally stunning piece, Phil, this particular piece of wood had your name on it, long before you ever signed it, thanks to Tuffy Marginez. It is surely one of your best pieces yet, worth waiting in storage and contemplation for 3 years to find its final glory, in your hands, of being a beautiful piece of art sculpture. I love it! Thank you so much, Phil, for sharing your beautiful gift in uniquely communicating with the nature of wood, for us all to enjoy. Take good care and have a great week.💛🫂☺️

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you for your great comment, Sian! 😊

[@stevestucks7341]

I think I have found someone who loves wood as much as I do! Love what you do!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Good to know, Steve! 😊

[@amygillett3713]

This Saturday I'm going to look at a lathe a friend has. He said I could use it. I haven't turned anything in almost 50 years, but have been watching your videos and am inspired to try again. Thank you. Your teaching/demonstrations are wonderful. I taught 42 years myself, so I know good teaching when I see and hear it. Amy Gillett

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Go for it, Amy! I wish for you a great time! 😊

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

Good luck Amy. Think safety and go for it.

[@bryanstiles3569]

I was the same way. Before I picked up the hobby, I watched just about every video that Phil had posted. But a good friend that turns kept bugging me and I just happen to run across a good deal on a lathe. After the first piece the addiction was there. Couldn't wait to to finish so I could start another. Lol. I'm at the point now, where I will start another one while one is still in the chuck drying. That's how bad I can't wait to start another one. Love seeing those ribbons flying.

[@michaelmcdermott2178]

Here I was, feeling sorry for myself with some health issues and I came across this and it cheered me right up! Thanks, buddy!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Excellent! 😊

[@ThePapa1947]

No doubt about it Phil I love that bowl. There is so much life left in it even after turning what you did. And that just added to it by showing all that beautiful grain. The hot glue held up great and for sure it has a place in my turning. As always great vision in seeing what is hidden in the piece. I just finished one I have to call The I Don't Know Bowl. I sure was not sure what I was going to get. But it does have some very nice bark and lots of holes. Great work my friend, Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Great title for the video, Gary. "The I don't know bowl". I would click on that for sure! Looking forward to clicking on it tomorrow, buddy! 😊

[@ThePapa1947]

Not tomorrow or maybe not next week. Even though its done. I finally got a little ahead. Feels great!

[@maxhunt2644]

I think it's amazing that you two are friends. Why? Because your 2 channels are the first I watch out of the 15 or so I follow. No, really! Do you live near each other? If so, you should do a video together! Especially if one of you have 2 lathes. That would be awesome! I can only imagine the banter! Sounds like fun (to me!).

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

@@maxhunt2644 Gary did visit me here at Shady Acres a few years ago and appears in the video I was shooting that day. That's as close as we have come to doing a video together but, yeah, it would be fun! 😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

@@ThePapa1947 Wow, lucky you! I'm trying to get ahead but not having much luck! LOL!

[@kumiejoubert-vanniekerk8794]

I adore this turning. I love the grain, the bark and its beauty from all sides...😃

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@hankfrankly7240]

Your ability amazes me. I couldn't imagine how you were going to turn that piece of wood into anything special. It looks wonderful.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Hank! 😊

[@handleguy]

I absolutely agree with your take that the "nature" on this 4 way bowl is beautiful. Every view is a winner.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Donald! 😃

[@tinaharbit1806]

Your work on odd pieces never cease to amaze me! I’ve said this before but Phil you are one extremely talented man!! Absolutely gorgeous

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@mabelbowen25]

You are right, it is absolutely GORGEOUS!! So many ways to display that piece. Wow! Wow! Wow!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, Mabel! 😊

[@steverobbins9419]

Another brilliant piece Phil. I wondered how you were going to turn that. Love your dust collection system. You should patent it 😁. Thanks for sharing the video. 👍👍

[@torontocitizen6802]

I’m glad to see you turning again! I don’t have a lathe, have never used a lathe, and don’t know anything about woodworking, but I love your videos! I appreciate you so much! I think it’s your humour and your humble manner that keep me coming back!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'm glad you enjoyed it and come back for more, thank you! 😊

[@kelvincolemanAnimal]

Phil wot can I say this piece is stunning I love it it got so much character you could spend hours looking at its beauty thank you for another amazing turning 👍👍👍😊😊😊♥️

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@carlspringle9342]

Another gorgeous piece Phil. Beautiful the way nature can be. I have the exact type of dust collector. I like it better than the other one. It's so much quieter. 👍

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yes, Carl, it barely even whispers... Just kind of a whisk sound...

[@davidharwood9552]

Phil you filled the hole using your coffee grinder. You used hot glue. You used your skill to turn the unique bowl. As ever you’re number 1. 🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@tuffymartinez]

Thank You Phil...What FUN! Phil I remember now. That was the secondary side piece from the very first piece I ever sent you over 3 years ago, WOW!. Secondary because of the hole. Gee, I do not remember doing that center circle thing, that balancing ring at all. Modesto Ash is correct. I identified the wood with my local nursery lady. That stump was along the road for a looong time until I came along. You did it justice and made a wonderful piece from wood that probably would have been passed over by other turners. GREAT WORK PHIL, until next time....TM

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yup, this brought back great memories, Tuffy! And what a great piece of wood! I don't know why I couldn't see anything in it until the day I turned it and boy, I tried! I love it, thank you my friend! 😊

[@ianappletreelodge]

Tuffy, thank you for sending Phil that piece, it has made spectacular art work. Whilst Phil is undoubtedly the master and visionary without your assistance he wouldn’t have been able to show us this awesome piece.🙏🏻

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Thank you again, Tuffy for your choice of challenging woods to send Phil. Some pieces really take time to study and find a vision of where to start. This was definitely one of those for Phil. And look at how happy it made him! Well done!

[@tuffymartinez]

@@valeriehenschel1590 Hi Valerie- Well Valerie YOU are the reason "we" all started sending wood to Phil. You were the 1st way back when? I love the adventure of finding "Phil Wood", cutting it up & sending it off (kind of like a message in a bottle floating up to Phil). I never know if or what is going to happen. So much FUN for me and Phil seems to have LOTS of fun turning so as Phil says "It's all good". Thank you Valerie!!...TM

[@valeriehenschel1590]

@tuffy Martinez Don’t blame me! 😁🤪 When Phil referred to a round of plain walnut as “his good wood” I suspected he was short of pieces to choose from. Given I had just gotten those nine sycamore/London plane trees, his need was greater than mine. Was not trying to start something, but glad it multiplied! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@marywright1057]

WOW it's a beautiful piece of art!!! Thanks to your skill with the lathe the natural beauty of the wood is preserved. I enjoy watching you turn impossible "junk" wood into art. Take care of yourself. 🙏♥️🙂

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, Mary! 😃

[@daveb.misc.2589]

Really nice job Phil. That is a gorgeous chunk of wood, that I would have had NO clue what to make of. Its SO different than what I usually see in videos, and I LIKE IT! Way to go!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'm glad you like it, Dave, thank you! 😊

[@johnsmith-xr6qy]

I'm watching this in January 2024 & it is still a wonderful piece. I can't believe how beautiful it is after you get through with it. I would have put it on a brush fire...before I saw what could be.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wow, thank you, John! I still love it, too! 😊

[@anitadavidson1266]

Ah Phil, it’s beautiful! As ever you relaxed me whilst watching your art take shape. This video arrived here in Scotland in time for a night time/bedtime relaxation program - thank you for that! As ever, your style of video also has the wonderful ability to make me chuckle too! I was most especially awed by your mechanical dust retrieval system - truly inspiring and a rare thing to see. Keep them coming my friend. 🪵🤩😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, I have a similar system for the house, Anita! 😊

[@johneastman7991]

It's beautiful. I might even call it sensuous............like a Georgia O'Keefe painting. You really brought out the character of the wood. Home run Phil, home run.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, John! 😊

[@toddjohnson9034]

Another awesome piece there Phil. Love watching your videos to see what you will bring alive and to hear what you have to say. I watch and listen to the whole video , with you stopping and talking makes it more interesting. Some videos on KZbin I start watching to see what the piece of wood looks like and then fast forward to the end to see what it turned out like. With them not talking or explaining what they are doing it’s not as interesting as your videos. Thanks again Phil for teaching me many tips and trips in wood turning, also teaching me to look at pieces of wood that I wouldn’t look at for turning but makes such beautiful pieces. From your student Todd in Newfoundland keep doing what you love for us to enjoy and learn. 👍

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I appreciate your comment very much, Todd, thank you! 😊

Thank you, Newk! 😃

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

I love it! It's gorgeous! From the very beginning, on the long flat side, I saw the hind leg and belly of a dog, no front end though. I can imagine you talking to your kids when they were young about how to use the magical dirt and debris collection device. It's something my dad might have done. Your special shavings grinder and hole filling technique ought to be called "The Philling Method". 😄 I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thank you, Phil! 🌳

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Gwynn, thank you! 😊

[@michaelmilazzo8722]

What a beautiful piece of art. Your turning’s should be in a art museum

You are too kind, Michael, thank you! 😊

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Phil, That is Stunning and I don' think I have been quite this specific before, You are the Master of the unusual shaped bowl. I will watch this again tomorrow morning with my morning cup of tea, but can't see me being any more impressed with how beautiful this has come out. Exceptional work Phil. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wow, thanks, Huw! I'll meet you here in the morning! 😊

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Good morning Phil, Just watched this once more with my cup of tea. What a perfect start to my Friday morning. Take care Phil. Cheers, Huw

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Good to have you beside me this morning, Huw! 😊

[@jayscott306]

Excellent results in filling that void, Phil. A lovely, interesting, impressive piece. I want to say imposing, but not in a bad way. The bark did come alive with finish. I'm still not ready to trust hot glue. Not because it doesn't work well when done right. But because I don't think I'd be fast enough to get the pieces together while it's still hot enough. Regarding temperature and hot glue, I learned a lesson. One of my first projects was a shifter knob for my vehicle, the nut inside secured with hot glue. The thing was great, until it spent a night outside at -30. The nut came loose and I had a ridiculous time getting it unthreaded, so I could put the original back on. From that lesson, I've learned that a few minutes in the freezer, or outside in winter, can let that hot glue peel right off. An alternative if getting isopropyl on your bowl isn't the best option. Great video, Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Jay! Next time I'm going to use a heat gun to soften and remove the glue.

[@ritawilliams3266]

Yes Sir it is a gorgeous piece! I'm so glad you filled the other hole. I love the contrasting look of the wood shavings and the wood around it after it was finished. Thanks for another great video!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you enjoyed it, Rita thank you! 😊

[@janetalexander122]

This was a bit nerve wracking when you first started turning, thought for sure the wood was going to fly off and hurt someone. I'm glad it didn't because I got to watch you turn a beautiful piece! And what do you know, I have the same dust collection system for my kitchen floor!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

You are so high-tech, Janet! 😊

[@rontocknell5400]

I have to say this was a very enjoyable and indulgent video. I enjoyed seeing it from every angle. It was as close as possible to turning it over in my hands. Thanks for that.

This makes me so happy, Clifford! 😊 Once you have turned a few of these natural pieces, it's really hard to go back to just plain round.

[@jeffstevens763]

At 69 I have loved wood all my life in any form even fire wood draws me trees blow my mind but I’m not artistic I don’t seem to have that vision but watching you Phil is teaching me to see what lies below a piece of wood what you can release from it maybe it’s been trapped waiting for someone to release it like you I hope I can aspire to that challenge I’ll keep watching 👍

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I was 69 when I bought my lathe and decided to get serious about woodturning, Jeff. I learned it from watching KZbin videos! You already have the love of wood, get to it! 😃

[@jeffstevens763]

I bought mine in 2008 I was a professional diver at the time working all over the world so turning was spasmodic, I learnt at school to turn but you never stop learning I retired 2 years ago and started running out of DIY jobs so hear I am enjoying every minute

[@walterdoodlesart3592]

I grew up in Modesto California. Those are amazing trees. The wood is beautiful, the tree grows quite large, and provides a ton of shade during the spring and Summer. Leaving the shape of that log was the right choice. Filling in that hole is also the right choice. That is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever seen you turn. Nice hard wood isn't it? I've never varnished Modesto Ash. I'm amazed at how much grain there really is. Good job, and thank you.
