The Bloody Stump! - Wood Turning

I was confused about the origin of this wood. It turns out it is from the Blood Orange tree. This tree provides the blood colored oranges rather than the typical orange colored fruit. The piece turned in this video is from the stump of the tree. Finished in Shellac, it is 13 1/2" diameter and 5" deep.

I really liked that you persisted with a taxing piece of what turned out to be a gorgeous piece.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Jaquith! 😀

[@michaeldennison3548]

Phil I love all your pieces, but I think this blood orange bowl is especially nice. Great job. Three✔️✔️✔️’s for you.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, Michael! 😊 I agree, this one is special.

[@richardparker8756]

It's nice to see what can be done with a piece of firewood. Like normal Phil, really nice. Good imagination. Have a beautiful weekend.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Richard, you too! 😊

[@markyehle6355]

Great video and a beautiful bowl. Thanks, also, from all of us old geezers for not running music over your instructions. It's hard enough to hear without the music overriding everything. Please keep up the good work.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Speaking as a geezer myself, Mark, I hear ya! LOL! Thank you so much! 😊

[@danwalton395]

Phil; the master of weird wood. If no one else will tackle it, give it to Phil, he'll make a master piece out of it. Another good watch Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, thank you, Dan, for your great, "pick-me-up" comment! 😊

[@allanparker8515]

The thing I really like about this bowl is that I can see Homer Simpson's face in the inside of the bowl. I really love this bowl and it ruly is a work of art. Thanks for the video.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@Dennis-ye4kf]

Wow, Yes , well spotted

[@billmorris2613]

Very unique!!! I too like the finished product. Blood oranges have a red meat and really good flavors.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Good to know, Bill, I will be on the lookout for some. Thank you!

[@marywright1057]

A blood orange is a delicious type of orange. If you get a chance to eat one they are very tasty. The bowl is as intriguing as the fruit. You and mother nature created an amazing work of art!!! 😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks for the info, Mary. I keep forgetting to look when I'm in the produce section. Maybe your comment will help remind me! 😊

[@brucejones4538]

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you very much, Greg!

[@lindasnow3960]

While watching you work on the blood orange bowl, I saw a large, exotic flower. The yellow center, purpley peddles, the general shape, all suggest the idea! Lovely!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I have a blood orange tree, the fruit is rather bitter than normal oranges my daughter in law loves it but I prefer true oranges. Your bowl is lovely even sweeter than the fruit. Love the free edge on it, mucho sweet❤️

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, thank you, Karen! 😊

[@susannah4Him]

This wood is so incredible! It reminds me of life - unpredictable, rough in places, and a joy to experience. Well done on a fine piece!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you like it! 😊

[@TripleG69]

Oh man I so love it. Looks like a huge flower and the bark on the side looks like a fish with a open mouth. Stunning design.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Sometimes we get that piece that has the natural flower shape and I love that part, too! 😊

[@joyfulnoise6556]

That is so Big, but all the more beautiful for it. It definitely looks like a flower, especially with the center being yellow. This was great to watch, hopefully you get some more of this.

[@Allan-loveswoodturning]

Hi Phil when I make a bowl it’s a bowl. When you make one it’s a work of Art. Fantastic

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Allan! I just take advantage of the art already in there and try to preserve it rather than remove it. 😊

[@toniecheverria8510]

Another winner Phil! I’ve commented before about your commentary, how it ties your intended results with the end product. I feel that is where a lot of education occurs. I still think you can hear me, Again I had the thought that “you may want to try ....”. You’re really good, I couldn’t even get the complete thought out before you changed tactics. Keep turning brother!

I see a beautiful endgrain bowl from which you just poured out a very smooth vanilla custard sauce. Lovely!! The blood orange fruit tastes like an orange but a little bitter and is of course blood coloured.

Hi Phil, Another one of Tuffy's challenging pieces of timber. Blood oranges are very nice to eat, looks like the timbers not so nice to turn, but it has some beautiful colours and figuring. A beautiful bowl. I suggest you keep Tuffy on your Christmas Card list, he's a friend worth keeping. God bless, stay safe. Tony

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Good for you, Lee! With the first one under your belt, the rest will be easy-peasy! 😊

[@g.leebihm2588]

Well, the first attempt didn’t go as planed. I got a bad catch and sent it flying and it cracked. The next attempt went much better. It was a small live edge bowl made from Chinese Tallow. A friend came by today and fell in love with it and said it would make a great candle holder, I gave my friend the bowl. I’m working on my fifth bowl now, White Oak. Keep up the beautiful turning that you, you are the one that really inspired me to get into turning, but it may take a little time before it’s easy peasy.
