👀 The Hidden Beauty of Acacia! 👀 - Wood Turning

[@marywright1057]

Beautiful bowl thanks to you and Mother Nature!!! Thanks for sharing your talent with all to enjoy and learn. Hope you had a great weekend. Have a blessed week. 🙂

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Mary! You too! 😊

[@tuffymartinez]

Thank You Phil, Thank You Dennis from California... Acacia I am familiar with & have one growing in my front yard. Long spikes so I do not take it lightly. So many different types that it is hard to believe one Acacia is related to another. Hardwood and beautiful wood with Woodpecker holes. Quite the treat today, Phil. Until next time.... TM

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

You are so lucky to live among these beauties, Tuffy! Thanks a lot, my friend! 😊

[@colleenkopp56]

Acacia has a marvelous grain! You did it with your usual splendor!! Wonderful!!! 08/17/23

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much 😊

Hi Phil, great mentor. How about a video about, the making of your KZbin videos, camera angles, editing software etc. Morné Meintjes from South Africa.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Not a bad idea. Let's wait for a cold winter day, maybe. 😊

Hi 👋 Phil from Phil, I hope you are all keeping safe and well, The chatoyancy looks beautiful, It is just a amazing we look 👀 at a peace of wood, and we cannot imagine what lies beneath, until we start, turning, or machine, and it, And that is what gives us the surprise, And, depending on which way we machining the piece of wood/Log will depend on the stunning outcome, to create a piece of art, well done. Phil. Another piece of art to your collection , Phil from the moulin France.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

So true, Phil, thanks! 😊

[@SDck5940]

This time, I'm the one who's been sick (COVID), and I have enjoyed sitting and watching you do your beautiful work. Love it!!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Oh no! Feel better soon! 😊

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Thank you Dennis! I think that woodpecker/sapsucker did you a big favor, Phil. The added grain distortion really makes the piece. Acacia can be boring when straight grain, but this piece is exceptional!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I think you are right, Valerie. That's what I meant when I said it's like looking down into the tree. Pretty cool! 😊

[@Danseadorf]

Simply beautiful, great video Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you! 😊

[@davidglaum2538]

Some woods are just so full of surprises inside you just never know until you look inside.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

True, wait till you see next weeks hidden secret! 😊

[@judebrown4103]

Oh isnt that superb?! What a beautiful piece Phil, every week I'm so awed by your creations, it's getting difficult to find enough superlatives with which to describe the sumptuous creations you tease from the wood. That is a spectacular looking bowl, it really is! Thanks, really enjoyed watching that turning. 🙏👍😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Jude, I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! 😊

[@bskelton8712]

Chatoyance always enhances a piece and gives an unexpected beauty. Nice bowl Phil, as usual when you and the wood are finished. Bob

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you very much, Bob! 😊

[@bmacdougall53]

Handsome Phil 💜🙏

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks a lot, Beth! 😊

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Phil... Really beautiful bowl...the wood is beautiful and the bark frames it nicely... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks a lot, Andy! 😊

[@jeanlong4285]

Phil, the grain is amazing and you have turned an absolutely beautiful bowl.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Jean! 😊

[@rayworstine4399]

Good morning, Phil. This is definitely a beautiful bowl. I have been re-doing my shop and haven't been turning for about three months. When I see the cool pieces you turn I have a difficult time finishing the work on the shop. It would be easy to just plug in the lathe and get back to turning again. Your regular wood turning videos is something I look forward to every week. "Time for sanding", just makes me grin every time. A fellow wood turner, who sells his work, says he hopes to get enough from his sales to buy sandpaper. Turning is a wonderful hobby. Thanks for sharing your unique projects, "for all to enjoy." All the best to you.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Oh, it's so much work putting a shop together, Ray. Yup, better stick with it to the finish or it won't get done the way you want. I commiserate with your friend, sandpaper is expensive! 😊

[@RavensViewStudio]

Wow, Maestro! That's stunning. You did Mother Nature proud with this. Simple shape, showcasing the wood in it's finest. That colour is as amazing as the grain pattern! Bravo, Sir. Bravo! Jay

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you very much, Jay! 😊

[@brendadriver2702]

Wow, beautiful grain and chatoyance! Love it! Thanks Phil!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Brenda! 😊

[@JD-xg3ek]

Wow Phil I thought the gain was outstanding on the outside but the inside is just spectacular. What a nice bowl. Beautiful piece to be displayed. Well done sir. Thanks for the show Joel

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Joel! 😊

[@Nannygoat]

It's just like looking into the tree! Enjoyed this video. Thanks Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

So glad you enjoyed it, thank you! 😊

[@BryanM362]

Love the bark on that, looks like well worn oiled leather! And, I learned a new word... "Chatoyance!"

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, it's a great word, Bryan! 😊

[@ЛеонидБрыкун]

Доброго времени суток! Красивая чаша, необычная структура дерева. Вы, как волшебник, из обычного полена, делаете такое произведение искусства. Мне очень нравится Ваша работа. Жду новых идей и новых сказочных изделий.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Я рада, что вам понравилось, спасибо за просмотр и комментарий! 😊

[@bigunksworkshop786]

Gorgeous grain and great contrast between the grain and the bark. Well done, sir.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Many thanks! 😊

[@danellabarnes-penman1118]

Chatoyance… Thanks for a vocabulary word! Beautiful bowl, Phil!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

You bet! It's a beautiful word and effect, Danella! 😊

[@erikvangoethem2777]

Impossible not to like every time you make such beaties

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Keep trying, Erik! 😊

[@kimphillips2998]

Hell-o Phil the beauty of that wood grain as stunning thank you Phil and God bless you

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Kim! 😊

[@KarlBunker]

A beautiful bowl! It looks like you can see traces of the sapsucker/woodpecker holes along the turned parts of the wood, and for me that adds a lot to the delight of the piece.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

For me too, Karl! 😊

[@dennislestanguet9581]

Woo Hoo I have it's little brother...with the same grain etc. Thank you Phil see you soon..there I said it on the net, so better get up with a whole new bunch of wood I've acquired. Take care my friend and be well. Dennis

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, Dennis! 😊 Love to see yours! I'll see ya when I see ya, zero pressure!

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Dennis, do you know if that acacia is the Oregon Myrtle acacia, mimosa acacia, or some other acacia?

[@dennislestanguet9581]

​@@valeriehenschel1590 Sorry Valerie I never saw the tree, I'm thinking a mimosa just because they were all around the neighborhood. I had one my neighbor called it a silk tree, that was the most messy tree I've ever delt with. I'm sorry I just don't know. 😢

[@GordonRock1]

OH MY! That’s gorgeous, Phil. I love the chatoyance that you pointed out. Beautiful work, my friend. You da man! Take care, …..Gord

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

You are correct about grains and chatoyance ,they are beautiful... Where does acacia grow? Canadian turner

[@dennislestanguet9581]

I got that in northern California and now live in Oregon and there is one around the corner from me. It's that tree that has yellow flowers and raises heck with allergies.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, thanks, Jeff! 😊

[@kristikey8320]

I thought acaia was a brittle tree. I guess that's what makes it hard to turn? It sure made a beautiful bowl! 😊

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I believe that it could be, Kristi. I've never seen the tree but often when wood is this hard, it's brittle. 😊
