Turning The SCREWACKY Bowl! - Wood Turning

[@monteashmore3730]

You should never apologize for turning unique shapes. That's who you are and why a lot of us watch you. Always a pleasure.

[@jimbrock8928]

I like it Phil it’s just great

[@mavourneenhalvorsen3935]

I think Monte said it right. And yes you are always a Pleasure.

Thanks, Monte! 😊

Oi

[@robertm348]

My wife and sons claim I am slightly off center, so I like a bowl that reflects my personality! You must have been talking to them just before turning this gorgeous piece of elm!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yup, they gave me the idea to make you smile, Robert! 😊

[@patriciaglove8201]

Personally i never cared for the square corners but this bowl is just lovely i would be proud to display. I love seeing your work and what your imagination can produce. Never been disappointed in any thing you have created. THANK YOU ,for sharing your art with the world.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wow, so kind of you, Patricia, thank you! 😊

[@richardpenycate8783]

Hi Phil. Just saying, one of the reasons why so many of us follow you so much is that you are not concerned with workpieces that are perfect and symmetrical. Lots of people do that stuff, including me, but watching them is like watching paint dry. It’s your very craziness that makes your work so good. Cheers Richard

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks for that, Richard! 😊 Try some crazy sometime, I think you will find you like it (might take a couple) and will get more great comments on your work.

[@RebekkaRN1962]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Elm bowl in the books. I need a bowl like this for when I eat soup bc it would keep all my spills from going on my table cloth...lol 😆

LOL! That's why I eat standing at the sink! 😊

Phil, we don't think you're crazy. We *know* you're crazy and that's why we watch you. You take pieces of wood that most people would put in the burn barrel and produce an amazing work of art.

Phil, I enjoy watching your videos. I'm not a woodworker but appreciate your honest videos. It feels like we are friends and you are teaching me how to turn the beautiful bowls you make. It seems that you genuinely love what you do and you simply invite us into your shop to watch what you do. I find your videos relaxing, educational, and I look forward to each one. Best wishes!

[@cdbees5312]

Wade, I can say that most certainly“Phil” has inspired the way I turn. He has also pointed me towards others PAPA 1947 , Gord Rock etc. Without his influence and information I’d certainly be struggling. 🙂

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

This is fantastic, Wade, thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated! 😊

"Bodacious" A beautiful word! Gotta use it more often. 😊

[@rbdunn]

Hey Phil, A majority of your viewers love you for just this sort of natural attitude towards a piece of wood. I know I keep coming back for it. Like you said at the beginning, you could go to the store to buy a porcelain bowl if you wanted to have a perfectly symmetrical piece. Keep up the great work/fun Pal!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Very nice, Russ, thank you! 😊

[@dt.woodcreations2064]

Nice winged elm bowl. Love the deep rich grain. Phil thanks for the diamond card lesson. Dan

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

[@leighw9684]

Phil, I enjoy it most when you turn some crazy, rooty piece of wood with rocks and cracks and everything else. Still, these videos with more well-behaved wood are outstanding and probably a bit easier on you, too! Thanks for letting us join you every week. Hope you're continuing to feel good.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Leigh! I, too, love the crazy pieces with cracks and voids and all manner of foreign objects. But, it is fun to turn at a higher RPM and just feel the smooth cuts happen. 😊

[@johnscott6026]

My vision is, mount it and start turning, Cecil. It will become something! 😊

I have yet seen you turn anything that wasn't a masterpiece I have learned so much from watching you over the years you sir are a great teacher.

It may be a little whacky but it turned out to be another of your signature pieces. Well done Phil a lovely piece.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@williamfawkes8379]

Looking good! Whenever I make something from Elm, I can't help but use the word chatoyance, because someone always asks why it's so shiny. I love using that word too, it's a cool word. Star wars fans can see the Death Star inside this bowl. I learned about Howard's from you, and I use it all the time, I just love that stuff.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Sometimes it's the perfect finish, William! 😊

[@johnlivsey4146]

I just learned a new word. Thanx William .

[@barrythompson7305]

While you were making it, I thought, no. Not uneven. But it was the right decision, Phil. A really lovely piece

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@scottpeterson5913]

Hey Phil! I believe the slightly off center bowl to the wing portion adds a nice dimension of the bowl. I didn’t thing so when you saw that the wings would not be even, but it adds a feature that adds to the appeal to the bowl. Nice, as usual!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'm glad you can appreciate that, Scott, thank you! 😊

[@johnseelke6593]

Phil The beauty of the uncovered wood grain takes the eye away from any uneveness It went unnoticed until you started pointing them out. Nice turning. John

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, John! 😊

[@daveducharme5316]

Really nice work Phil. I'm always amazed by the finish you are able to achieve. I think the shape suits the piece. The other profile I like for winged bowls is a gentle downward curve. It seems to soften the otherwise sharp edges of a flat rectangle.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@kaylaharding9977]

I absolutely love your unique projects! One of the reason I watch you is that you let each piece of wood guide the shape/design of the bowl. I also enjoy how you leave the "nature" in your designs. I agree with you..."perfect" bowls are boring to me. One of the other things I like about you is that you enjoy the "feel" of the wood in the same way that I do. I love your channel!!!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Awesome! Thank you, Kayla! 😊

[@pickletreewoodcraft7858]

Absolutely perfect the finish is so silky looking and I always do love how you think outside the box and don make boring bowls! Also I am not a fan at all of beads but it is just so fitting on this it helps define the shape and I think it goes well with with the straight edges, I don’t think a curve would have been as fitting! Good as always Phil you’re the best!!!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wow, thank you! 😊

[@oneamericannoparty.]

It's because of you that I went from needing perfect to needing perfectly unique. U have inspired me to do more stuff with natural bark and cracks and holes...perfectly UNIQUE. I've only berm turning for almost a yr.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

This is so good to know! I love that you are willing to take a chance on what many might consider firewood. Thank you! 😊

[@edwardhand7070]

What's crazy to me is the fact that we as wood turners seem to get a little bit of criticism for creating something that nobody else could ever see to begin with. That to me is where the artists mind begins to go where the art needs to be. Happy turning my friend 😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

[@alanhorton9020]

It's been a few weeks since I added a comment. I have been busy and have watched every video. Don't change the way that you think a piece of wood should be. I made a bowl for our neighbor from part of a tree that was cut down in her yard. I left the live edge and bark inclusions and she loved it. I owe that to you. Thanks so much for your video's.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wonderful story, Alan! I love that you could make your neighbor lady happy with a piece of her tree including the bark she may have touched while it was still standing! 😊

With each piece, the recipient gets a note on how to care for it and my personal message that I Never strive to make my wood project perfect, because the only time wood is perfect is when it is on a tree as God made it. Thank you Phil, John
