Red Cedar Log To Vase - Wood Turning

Seldom does a spindle turning work out as I planned. This one did and I'm happy and proud of it! Red Cedar finished in shellac.

Designers maybe, but all artists go by feel for the day or the object, and that's exactly what you do. I hope you sell your items for a good penny because even though it goes fast sometimes you always put your soul into it, that's probably what we all love to se. ❤ Carsten

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you very much, Carsten! 😊 Never tried to sell any, yet.

[@geraldmoore3686]

I don't like to turn Cedar, but guess what, it's so beautiful I keep on turning it. Sometimes the reward is worth the effort. You have quite an award there, I love it.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Gerald! 😊

[@royboggs3849]

Guts. Pure guts. That I don't have. ✌️👍👌👌😊👏👏👏👏 Phil is amazing!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, thanks, Roy! 😊

[@danlindey7368]

Very nice. The depth of your imagination has no bottom.

[@tonyturnswood]

Phil, love this piece! I turned a jam chuck for my vases that tappers way down like a long blunt nose cone, I can jam my vases, of any throat diameter, and take that tenon off or work the base. I learn something new EVERYTIME I watch your videos. Your voice is a common sound in our house! Thank you for all you do!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wow, cool, thanks, Anthony! 😊

[@judyjohnson6180]

I live in the land of red cedar (Seattle) and I love how this vase turned out!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Judy! 😊

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Phil... A real beauty... It couldn't have turned out any better... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Andy! 😊

[@demacf6805]

It's a Vase On A Base! (Sorry, couldn't help myself) Kidding aside, it's beautiful, and like all your pieces, unique! Thanks for all the beauty you create.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you! "Vase on a base" I love it! 😊

[@MANJITSINGH-ko2oi]

WOW Phil that's a another beauty. weldone our friend gary is getting better. u two r my best wood turners.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yes, he's almost back to normal, yay! 😊

[@judebrown4103]

Oh my goodness I had to watch that tenon removal through my fingers! The front is just where you said it is Phil. Well done, beautiful spindle turn, yay.👍😄

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

LOL! Sorry to scare you, Jude! 😊

[@saboomitz]

This piece turned out great. Love the red cedar - wish I was there to smell your workshop. I think you are an artist. God bless.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@jonperley7304]

That's a very COOL piece Phil! I turn things to enjoy and sell so others can enjoy them and a lot of times family and friends love them so much that I generally give them away so all in all if I sat down and did the math I'm probably going in the hole which doesn't matter I'm having fun in my old days!!! Happy turning to you Phil!!!👍

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Doesn't get any better than that, Jon! 😊

[@JuanPerez-ek8wd]

I didn't think I would like it at first because I thought the base was too big, but now that I see it finished, I must say, it came out really well and I like it very much... great job sir..

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

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

[@cindyyurdana8607]

Beautiful!! You’re very talented!! I love watching you! It’s very relaxing to watch!💜💙😁😁🙏

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wonderful, thank you, Cindy! 😀

[@lyndaowen2154]

They wood Turner is a designer. You do put designs in your bowls. You decide when to, and when not to leave the bark, leave a crack leave a hole and whatever natural artwork she stay or not. I have no doubt that this piece you’re holding will turn into a beautiful vase. You did good. The red framed by the lighter color I think it’s pretty.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Lynda! 😊

[@michaelmcdermott2178]

Your pride in this is well deserved!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

[@Audie1234]

I've never seen anything like this! I'm glad you made that boot a little smaller.

You and me both! 😊

[@lonniedupont]

Didn't think I would at first but I like it. Nicely done

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Beautiful. You did a great job, even if you’re not comfortable with spindle work. Nothing here to complain about.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Doug! 😊

[@youenn2180]

Keeping the bottom makes all the..great difference !

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Youenn! 😊

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Stunning Phil, For a non spindle turner you really know how to do spindle turning. The shape is fantastic and the vase flows from the base. Red Cedar is one of my favourite woods and I have one piece waiting patiently for me to turn it. Brilliant video Phil. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw 🫖🫖

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yes, I agree, Huw, Red Cedar is beautiful! Thanks, buddy! 😊

[@danielemanuele5827]

“I’m not a designer. I’m a wood turner.” I know exactly what you mean!

Same to you! 😊

[@michaeledens8381]

I love it Phil I had the same problems with my red cedar vase, so I used my drill with 60 grit paper on a 3 inch disk and in ten minutes , problem solved worked great. Now you have given me another idea for some of my red cedar...

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@philvale5724]

Hi 👋, Phil from Phil, It looks amazing, well done Phil. You should be proud of that, And I love the colour. A another piece of art. PHIL FROM THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOULIN FRANCE.

[@54lespaul77]

Nice one Phil! I could hear the frustration in your voice early on , but I’m sure glad you persevered! It looks very cool. I wasn’t sure you were headed in the right direction, right up until I saw the finished vase! Cheers, Rick

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

That's about when I decided to like it, too, Rick! 😊

[@allyncross6973]

Hey, Phil, That is a pretty one. That red cedar came out beautiful. Yall have a wonderful day.

[@chrisjohnston2449]

I bet the shop smells great after working this piece.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

No aroma, disappointingly, Chris. 😊

[@chrisjohnston2449]

@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Wow that is so disappointing to hear. I turn a little of what I call Juniper up hear in southern Ontario Canada. It is often called Red Cedar as well. But boy does it smell nice. I have worked with White and Western Red Cedar so much that I have become nose blind to the smell.

[@johnlatta3998]

I had no idea what an "emerging vase" might be. So, I had no 8dea what you were going to do. Now 5hat you're done, I certainly understand what you were aiming for. That's a spectacular piece of work. Thanks.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, thanks, John! 😊

[@RebekkaRN1962]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching, Carl! 😊

[@bobcrabtree6924]

Gotta tell you Phil early on I didn't give this piece much of a chance to look like anything. Sorry I doubted you buddy.. it is fantastic. And with one of my most favorite woods. I turned out spectacularly beautiful. Thank you for all your efforts to entertain and inspire. Keep on keeping on my friend.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you very much, Bob, I'm glad you like it! 😊

See ? I told you , you could do it. Cute as a button . Love red Cedar .

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Steve! 😊

[@laurazakrzewski]

That is one of my favorites Phil. I think you can classify yourself as a spindle turner as well.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Nope! Ain't happening, Laura. I'm a bowel turner who dabbles now and then, reluctantly. 😊

[@jean-luclefevre9099]

Bonsoir Phil ! Encore une magnifique réalisation, un bois de couleurs diverses mais au combien plaisantes ! Avec un peu d'imagination ... Nous pourrions voir une ile posée au milieu d'un océan d'où domine un château cylindrique abritant des personnages fantastiques ! Non, Non, je ne fume rien d'illégal ! C'est une très belle vidéo inspirante, thank you ! Cordialement, Jean-Luc, Prenez soin de vous !

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Peut-être pas fumer, mais vous avez peut-être frappé la bouteille un peu trop fort. MDR! Merci beaucoup mon ami! 😊

[@jean-luclefevre9099]

Bonsoir Phil, j'ai beaucoup rigolé en lisant votre commentaire, en France nous avons beaucoup de vignobles, il faut bien goûter ...! LOL! Cordialement, prenez soin de vous ! Jean-Luc

[@mnp1964]

I think it looks amazing Phil nice job your daughter has great taste

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks so much, Wade! 😊

[@philgallagher1]

I get your point about having bark all the way around, but in this instance I don't agree. I think having the heartwood, then the sapwood then the "underbark" and finally the bark itself adds so much interest to the finished article. As for what's in the block, waiting to get out, obviously it's a much smaller vase, coming out at a 45° angle from the base of the big vase! It's as clear as day! Once more, a beautiful piece of work! You just keep getting better and better at this! Well done, Phil. As you say, another one "in the books" - these "books" must be more like Accountants' Ledgers by now, the number of magnificent pieces you've documented over the years!!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I don't disagree with you about the bark, Phil, and you've described perfection, perfectly! Someone else mentioned a second vase coming from that branch. Dang, I just didn't give that any thought! Thanks for your fun comment! 😊

[@donaldplohg9587]

[@johnwhite6899]

🙋‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Hi Phil when you said you would be creating an emerging vase I didn't know what you meant then half way through I understood what you meant and what a great idea given the irregular shape of the wood. As you where working away I thought you were going to create what would have been a foot for the vase emerging from the base but at the end you explained why you didn't but left it to the viewers imagination. I must say what a beautiful piece of art you turned on the lathe, fantastic grain, colours, and finish I can totally see why your daughter has claimed it. Oh by the way I hope you enjoyed your spaghetti. LOL.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, John! 😊 The spaghetti was and is great, I'm still eating it!
