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.

That was an adventure! A blood orange blossom bowl! Gorgeous!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Colleen! 😊

[@judithfairchild8620]

Watched this a second time and saw that the bowl is shaped like a flower. It is gorgeous.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

It IS! 😊

[@toniecheverria8510]

Yes I love it too! All the cracks & crevices give it character 👍

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'm glad you love it, Toni and I agree about the character. Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment! 😊

[@kylespraysammili9108]

This piece looked like a giant orchid to me. Very pretty!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

It does! 😊

[@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

[@jussikuusela7345]

Wow! It's like an exotic flower!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Kinda, Jussi! Thanks for watching!

[@RayPllama]

Blood orange tree so cool !

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

For sure, Ray! 😊

[@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. 😊

[@barbodonnell6826]

From ordinary to majestic!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'm glad you think so, Barb, thank you! 😊

[@1954JDR]

Fruit wood is very dense. You did an excellent job. Beautiful piece.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, James!

[@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! 😊

[@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!

[@hardtailsuicidaljockey6827]

Beautiful piece looks like a water Lilly

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yeah, that's it, H S, a water lilly. I knew it was some kind of flower. Thank you! 😊

[@sammoore9120]

Fascinating how the cracks stop at the heart wood.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

It is! 😃

[@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! 😊

[@donaldfarr8162]

That turned out beautiful Phil.

[@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! 😊

[@janedc5ch319]

What a great pice . I love the outside, it looks like a face . The hole looks like his eye. I know I'm nuts.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, no, I don't think you're nuts, Jane! We all see something different in these pieces. 😊

[@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! 😊

[@KittyLovesGlover]

pretty surprise in the middle of this clump of wood! the live edges, and spot on the side, and the curl are truly beautiful on this one definately would love to have that as a showpiece!!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you like it! 😊

[@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.

[@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]

Wonderful, Linda, thank you! 😊

[@hotrodhog2170]

Never heard of a blood orange! That piece is pretty wild!

[@g.leebihm2588]

Another beautiful piece of work. I turned my first bowl the other day. I can’t wait till the day that I can make something as beautiful.

[@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.

[@teresajwatts3843]

I think that would make a beautiful fruit bowl

Very interesting and challenging chunk of wood. But you once again did well with it, producing a very nice final shape. Luckily it is big enough to support those thicker walls. My wood arrived Wednesday, thank you again!

Thank you, Valerie! I hope there is something you can use that you haven't seen before but that's not likely with the amount of wood you seem to be able to come up with. 😊
