Saving The CRACK! 👀 Wood Turning

[@jimminybunkwhack5706]

I really appreciate your wholesomeness. The "boring" dad joke. The talking about the weather. The talking about what you're having for dinner. The "I hope the power doesn't go out, 'cause I wanna watch TV" And your intro with the "Howdy" on the end. Always love your videos.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I appreciate that, Jimminy! Wow, you are really paying attention! Thank you so much! 😊

[@michaelcaselli2716]

Love it! Another beauty!!! If the knot ever comes loose and you lose it in a future bowl turning, you can call it a knitter’s bowl. Knitters use the hole to feed the yarn through which helps to prevent the balled yarn from tangling as they knit. 😁

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Great idea! 😃

[@ThePapa1947]

Wow that looks so cool Phil. Before I forget at the bottom of the crack it looks like there. I can see the ears and the shape of its face. Ok now back to the piece. Speaking of the cat and the crack the crack is my favorite part. Although it all looks amazing. Way to keep the nature in a piece of ????? wood. Great job my friend, Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Gary! Seems lots of people see the cat! 😃

[@gregdownunderinOz]

I agree papa, definitely a cars face.

[@gregdownunderinOz]

Cats face

[@JohnWilliams-iw6oq]

In Australia we call this kind of wood "Binna", binna tree but now it's wood! A very pretty piece Phil, thank you once again for sharing.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Interesting, thanks, John! 😃

[@bmacdougall53]

The before and after, wow. Good eye Phil. I love the cockeyed smile it has. 💜🙏

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Beth! 😃

[@albertdawson6814]

I knew which one you were going to pick. Thanks Phil for another Thursday night. Just a beauty. See you next week

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😃

[@christinemiller7238]

The crack is magnificent. Lighted on a shelf would be perfect!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😃

[@christophersmith9275]

I've been watching or rewatching your videos with my 4.5 year old. She loves the "saw dust clouds" and always asks me why you're painting (applying finishes). She recognizes some of the tools you use, watching me in the basement. Tonight, she was happy to see this transform into a "honey pot". Thank you Phil. ❤

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I love this, Christopher, thank you! 😊

[@dt.woodcreations2064]

Closed form maybe I think it is a beautiful bowlvas. Yes you created a new word. Love the shapes and forms you come up with. Have a great week Phil. Dan

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks a lot, Dan! 😊

[@cliffboulton8763]

Another Masterpiece from the Anderson stable. Absolutely Brilliant, Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Cliff! 😃

[@betsy0br]

There are lots of images and contrasts to allow my imagination to wander and explore. I like the crack and the colors surrounding it. You never disappoint your fans. I’m sure the wood piece speaks to you about what it would like to be in the end.🎉

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

This one sure did, Betsy. Thank you! 😃

[@bryanstiles3569]

No matter which way you look at it, it's cool and unique. Nice colors and the grain is cool. Stay dry and warm Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Bryan! 😊

[@chrispark3758]

You never fIl to amaze me. I learn something everytime i watch one of your videos. Thanks Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'm glad you're enjoying the journey! 😀

[@RenaLarson61]

I love the fact that you leave your pieces natural, I absolutely love the grain on this one, beautiful work as always Phil

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Me too, thank you! 😃

[@sheilapagliaccio9086]

Oh my, what a unique and lovely piece! Who can pick a favorite view on a piece like that?

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😃

[@rayworstine4399]

Good evening, Phil. I love it! Glad you chose that piece to turn this time. Hollowing takes a lot of time the way it looks. I think I might be ready to give it a try. You did a great job of showing how it's done. A beautiful piece for sure. Your evening meal sounded good. Stay warm my friend.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

It does take some time and patience, Ray. Slow and easy, don't get too aggressive and you will be fine. Thank you! 😊

[@huberthicks9080]

Really enjoyed this one, Phil. Now, having said that, I don’t mean to say that I didn’t enjoy previous efforts. Love the grain and the shape. Well done, Sir. Well done.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you enjoyed it, Hubert, thanks for watching! 😃

[@RightHandShot]

Love all the imperfections, makes it unique. We'll done again

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😃

[@davidwise5834]

Hi Phil Beautifull hollow form it stayed together even with that big crack great job Thanks David and Maria

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Gad you two like it, thank you! 😊

[@joycemiller6188]

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😃

[@brianwaloweek6770]

My wife and I really enjoy watching your videos, we relax after work before diner, you never disappoint with your finished piece.👍🏻

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

That is awesome! Thanks to both of you, I appreciate you spending some time with me! 😊

[@dalekuhlman1009]

It looks like a piece you’d see in a museum. It’s absolutely stunning Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Dale, I'm glad you like it! 😊

[@colinwatmore7041]

Another piece of art Phil. The grain is lovely and using the feed n wax as the finish was nice. Just love the use of nature in all your work. Truly inspirational. Thanks

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Many thanks, Colin! 😃

[@raydriver7300]

A lovely bowl/hollow form/piece of art. As always,thank you Phil for sharing 🌞

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Ray and you are welcome! 😊

[@calmwoodcreations3709]

A very, very nice small open hollow form! Beautiful wood with lovely grain.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you very much, Dave! 😃

[@joyfulnoise6556]

Another absolutely amazing piece. The knot makes a cat and that crack is just beautiful. We love it!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@kimphillips2998]

Phil. One word beautiful. And I love the light in it showing the cracks

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😃

[@JustKellH]

Oh! The lighting of the crack on the turntable?!? Woah! Amazing work!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Kell! 😃

[@lewisgreenway5065]

Very interesting grain and yes the contrast with light and darker wood makes for an eye catching piece, good job Phil. 😁

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Lewis! 😃

[@joannamitchell4627]

Delightful! Wonderful save on the crack😊 A pleasure to watch, thank you Phil . Oh, and you chose the wood piece we wanted ... thanks for listening 😅

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Good to know, Joanna! Thank you! 😃

[@GordonRock1]

An absolute beauty, Phil. The view through the crack is stunning! Wonderful work, Phil. Thanks for sharing! Take care, …..Gord

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, my friend! Hang in there and keep the positive attitude, buddy! 😃

[@fiberotter]

The grains, the colors, but mostly that crack! A winning piece. Love how you worked that crack till it was the star of the show.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'm so glad, thank you! 😊

[@doug779]

Another beauty! Love that you left the knot and the crack. Thanks for another inspiring video.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Doug! 😊

[@margareteast9273]

This piece has everything we hope to get from one of your turnings, excitement, light, and beauty.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Margaret! 😊

[@guybeauchamp5511]

Beautiful work Phil, as usual! Again showing us how hard work and patience ( all the work on that crack) pays off and end up with a gorgeous piece. Thanks for sharing Phil 😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Guy! 😊

[@jpopelish]

A lovely, graceful form that fits the piece, very well. Congratulations.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@zetuskid]

Peek-a-boo i see that light. That little bowl has so much character Phil just like you!😂

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Kid! 😃

[@jimfisher5201]

Great shape and love the contrasting colours, crack and knots, well done Phil. All the best to you. Regards Jim

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Jim! 😊

[@redleaf4902]

Waaaaaaouuu. So perdy, Phil! The top reminds me of vases from the 1st century (though not as tall). Trez joli. Very pretty. We have meringue-like snow cover on the branches here. Wish I could post a pic of the view I have at the moment. Winter-wonderland. Was watching ELVIS on Netflix, but paused to watch your video. Can you hear Elvis singing Oh Little Town of Bethlehem... ? I have it playing on KZbin Elvis would be turning 89 in January. I wonder what he'd say about the world today... Have a great week, Phil. ⛸🎄☃

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Love me some Elvis, Red! I got to see him in concert in 1970. My very first concert and it was a doozy! 😃

[@dougpringle8938]

Beautiful. I think the shape is perfect. Thanks again for sharing with your KZbin family

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😃

[@philvale5724]

Hi 👋, Phil from Phil , that sure is a great looking 👀 piece, it looks like there is a red squirrel when you look at the side where the crack is, it’s a lovely piece of art, i’m not sure whether I said last week, but I’ve made a very very long and large scraper. Come boring to, I should be able to hollow out at least 24 to 30 inches in depth, this could be exciting, but very very dangerous 😂, Keep up the great work. Stay safe. , I hope you’re keeping well, And it sounds like you’ve got winter setting in like what I’ve got here, no snow, but plenty of rain, Phil from the moulin,

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

That does sound dangerous without the aid of some other mechanical device. Careful, Phil! 😃

[@brendadriver2702]

I love this hollow form! Thanks Phil! Stay warm and dry and we’ll see you next week!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'll be here waiting for you, Brenda, thank you! 😊

[@SteveandSusiesHomestead]

I agree with the mulberry . Gorgeous piece , you got this one right on.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Steve! 😃

[@johnwhite6899]

🙋‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Hi Phil I think I would call it a vase, and it's my favourite piece so far, fantastic colour, grain pattern and shape. I imagine it feels brilliant when cupped in your hands. Got no idea of the wood but it's beautiful. Thanks Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

It really does feel great, John, though kind of hard to hold because it's so slippery! 😃

[@bobpiec]

Kind of like the head of the kat on the Knott. Another great job Phil! God Bless you sir.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

A lot of people saw the cat, Bob! 😃

[@alinmayerthorpe7801]

Another beauty of a bowl and to me it looks happy with a big grin on it, well done and thanks! Cheers Al

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😃

[@grunter131]

Perfect Phil i love to turn like you with cracks and bark .. Gives the job character.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😃

[@ScottDouglass-z2e]

Looks like mulberry..real nice...knot side is awesome. Shap is awesome as well, love the lip..

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, thank you! 😊

[@Cquoya]

Butternut,butternut, ahhhhh.still awesome. Beautiful

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😃

[@gerardcasillas29]

Hey Phil. I have been turning mushrooms, twig pots, mice with leather ears and tails ( mostly craft items) and handles for tools. I'm a disabled veteran taking on hobbies. I just want to let you know that i really enjoy your videos. Trying to keep up with your passed vids keeps me busy.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Busy is good, Gerard! I really appreciate the time you spend with me, thank you so much! 😊

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Tea in the morning Phil

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😃

[@donwebster8637]

Great result, Phil. The see-through crack makes the piece.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😃

[@Aaah-Mazn-Creations]

I think the heart wood and sap wood contrast side is the best, or is it the darker wood with all the knots, or is it that beautiful CRACK you accented so beautifully. I really having a hard time to decide witch side I think is the best!!! I guess I will wait to make my decision until your next video, Or they all have so great features I may never be able to make a decision !!!! I may tell you someday!!!!!! KEP ON TURNING

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

You are really on your toes today, Howard! Great comment, thank you! 😊

[@JD-xg3ek]

Wow Phil the crack is outstanding. It is a lot more open than I could see until the end. Lots of light through that crack. This turning is beautiful. A lot of character. Thanks for the show. Joel

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Joel! 😃

[@ЛеонидБрыкун]

Доброго времени суток Фил. Мне очень нравится Ваш канал. Мне очень нравится то, что Вы делаете. Сегодня, как всегда, очень хороший кувшин. Даже естественные изъяны и сучки его не портят. Они добавляют ему особенный шарм. Мне очень нравится то, что Вы делаете. Спасибо за видео.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Мне нравятся ваши комментарии, спасибо, что нашли время посмотреть и прокомментировать меня. Это многое значит для меня! 😃

[@stephenmccool8127]

Man! I don't know what kind of wood it is, but wow! It's beautiful. I love the knots. The crack, the grain, the sap wood, all of it. I love your rendition; that little lip on top looks good. And I'm a huge fan of the Feed n Wax. Fantastic work Phil!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

It was the right finish for this piece, Steve. Thank you! 😃

[@blairmiller742]

I vote for mulberry. I've turned mulberry bowls and kitchen spoon holders that look just like that. Nice job.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😃

[@suepetty9225]

That is a very interesting grain pattern along the crack. It looks like a cut that didn't heal. Love the incloseded rim too.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, Sue! 😊

[@robertm348]

Phil, I am so glad you enjoy turning pieces that have cracks and knots - gnarly, like me, I suppose. I hope you never got the bug to start filling voids and cracks with putty or epoxy! This piece is truly beautiful! Thank you!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I don't think that will happen, Robert. It's pretty to look at when others do it but for my projects, I just prefer nature. 😊

[@williamellis8993]

Really nice, Phil. I can’t say which is my favorite view because I like all of them. Bill

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😃

[@wendycassel3429]

This last one did turn out so very well I liked the other one you did you didn’t ruin it I liked that one too you are truly an artist at the lath Phil ❤

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Than you kindly, Wendy! 😃

[@judebrown4103]

Ooh that's a gorgeous piece Phil, I shall have a look through the comments to see if it was mulberry or not. Definitely got your mojo back with this one. 👍👏

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, thank you, Jude! 😊

[@paulplager9498]

Again, you have done a great job Phil. I enjoy your videos. Keep it up.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Paul, will do! 😊

[@apachisa25]

Hi Phil I also selected the same piece when you asked to select 😊 . Very pretty wood and turning as usual . Thanks and regards

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Great minds, right? 😃

[@tuffymartinez]

Thank You Phil, Thank You Ted Helvig... I like the rounded over top. I know it creates more work for you when doing the inside having to use carbide offset hollowing gouge...Like those knots... Wonderful bowl Phil and until next time... TM

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you very much, Tuffy, I'm glad you like it! I don't mind a rounded top like this when it's smooth. It's the ones that have irregular, jagged edges that are just about impossible to sand and they want to grab my fingers! 😃

[@alangibb3100]

Phil what a great job there my friend it really turned out beautiful. Well done.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you kindly, Alan! 😊

[@judithfairchild8620]

Beautiful piece. I noticed that the small knot has ears at the top. So much fun

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

It does! Thanks, Judith! 😊

[@jeanlong4285]

I love it Phil. The grain is amazing, the crack with the light shining through is just great. I'm glad you picked that piece of wood.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Jean! 😃

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

I figured you'd pick the piece of wood with the most character and wow, am I happy you did! The piece is absolutely gorgeous! No matter what view you choose there's beauty, beauty, beauty! I even see a tiger striped cat in the large knot and spreading crack, which I think is his back and tail! This was a great way to spend part of a snowy evening. I hope the rain didn't cause you any flooding problems like I've seen on the news. Snoqualmie Falls, holy cows! I don't think I ever saw it like that in my growing up years. 😮 Thank you, Phil 🎄

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yes, the falls always puts on quite a show with lots of rain. 😃

[@bskelton8712]

Hi Phil I think any view of this piece is beautiful. I still don't think you ruined the piece last week, I liked it anyway. Take care bud Bob

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😃

[@thewoodshop]

Love the piece, great demonstration on hollow form. I’ve been looking forward to my first.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

They are fun to do as long as you have an even top edge. When it's not, they are a pain to sand! 😊

[@karengilchrist9774]

That's a lovely piece Phil! Wonderful grain and l love, love, love the Crack!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Karen! 😊

[@nealthesmith]

Another lovely bowl, Phil. Toni and I both spotted the 🐱 at the same time. Best wishes always.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Much appreciated! 😃

[@judyjohnson6180]

Beautiful! I like the Siamese cat side! I'm glad you didn't get flooded. It rained like crazy here in Seattle!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haven't seen that much rain in years, Judy! 😃

[@oldcharlie5533]

From fire wood to art..excellent phil

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

[@user-bighughie]

Hi Phil, I love that piece....it turned out beautifully. I like the way you have an idea when starting but go with the way the wood sends you during the turning. Fabulous!! 😊🤗

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, I'm glad you understand the process! 😃

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Absolutely stunning Phil. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Mornin', Huw and thanks! 😃

[@martinleon281]

Excellent as always!!! Mulberry is one of my favorite wood to turn. There are usually bark inclusions, knots, and the grain & color for us to highlight and you are the best at bringing these features out. Thank you, I always look forward to your videos!!!

Thank you, Martin! 😃

Very nice, Phil! Now all you need is a flute and a Cobra! 😁

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

LOL! Yup, I really need a Cobra slithering around here! 😃

[@RavensViewStudio]

Love it. What a fantastic contrast of colours. And the cat! The knot with the crack has cat ears! Great work, Maestro. I'll be reading all the comments too, intrigued to know what it is. Jay

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Jay! Cheers! 😃

[@carolriley8472]

What a gorgeous bowl...love the character!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Carol! 😊

[@iangordon5354]

Lovely grain, fantastic colour contrasts, and the crack just makes it. The shape too is great - from quite early on I could see where it wanted to go and was just waiting and watching as you brought it out. As you say, it would have been a shame if that knot had come loose. Carole said she could almost feel the texture from the way the light played on it.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@warnerexelby7262]

I like the shape you ended up with ,it makes it look like an elegant pot especially the little up turn on the top edge.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😃

[@christhrasher5653]

I have watched almost all your videos. I just found your channel about a week ago. I’m about to buy my first Lathe and self teach myself. I’ve never done it before but I’m fascinated by it. I’ve watched many turning videos and find yours to be my favorite. Mainly because you talk and talk as if I’m standing right there with you. Any advice or anything would be greatly appreciated. Love your work brother!!!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Awesome, thank you, Chris! 😊 Well, lots of advice, I guess. I don't know how far into "about to buy my first lathe" you are, so I don't know where to start. I can tell you, I learned to turn by watching videos, just as you are doing. Hundreds of videos, hundreds of hours and lots of practicing what I had learned. Lots of pieces flying off the lathe and huge catches along the way. I almost gave up. I'm glad I didn't!

[@christhrasher5653]

Lol thank you Phil. I’m glad your didn’t give up as well. I will be getting one in the next month or two. I’m sure I’m going to have stuff flinging all over the place for sure😂. I will continue to watch your videos and learn from you for sure. Your awesome.

[@janeoverby2151]

What a beauty! That feed and wax really brought out the colors in the wood. Hope the storm didn't mess up anything. Have a wonderful weekend❤

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

You would have won, Ray! 😃

[@daveschoffstall4300]

Great work saving the crack. Natures Art! Hope you survived the rain storm, pineapple express, up there in the great Northwest. I know that Bonnie Lake is up on a hill but it still is concerning. Good choice picking that one. I think it may be Mulberry or some type of wood like that, just beautiful. Take care and stay warm and dry. Thanks

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I survived the rain but the wind took down a lot of branches. Big mess around here but that's the norm for winter time. Thanks, Dave! 😃

[@scottshawwoodworking1752]

Phil, when I look at the knot and the crack on the right side l see a bat and the crack is his wing in flight. Also he has two bat ears coming out of the top of the knot. Thanks for the video I always appreciate your work. Scott

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Quite the imagination there, Scott! 😃
