The PERFECT Pear! - Wood Turning

I don't often have a perfect piece of wood to turn from and that's perfectly OK! Many know I love the imperfections in nature for my turnings. But, I must admit, this was fun! No problems, no soft wood, voids, cracks, etc. Just nice tight bark and an excellent example of Bradford Pear. Beautifully finished in shellac!

You were right, Phil, that really is perfect! You probably would’ve made me blush when you mentioned my name if I wasn’t so darn vain! Is that a good poem? What do you mean it needs more lines than that? Boy, you really are a stickler aren’t you!? I like Coke and I like Cheezies. I don’t like flowers they make me sneezy. Happy birthday, Phil, that’s as good as it’s gonna get tonight. 😂😂 Have a great birthday, buddy! Happy birthday, …..Gord

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KID... it was lovely to see you turn smooth Bradford tree and to witness your lovely creation... but when next you receive some punky old tree, that I would be running away from... you will once gain approach it my friend with purpose and determination, with your chisels all sharpened, and your face mask protecting your breathing, your face shield will gleam as it deflects the stream of those dastardly punky old shavings... I cant wait, love ya Phil....

Well, my brother's birthday is Oct. 1st as well. Happy Birthday, Phil! I wasn't prepared for poetry, so let's see what I can do on the fly. I hope your day is special, and your daughter brings you treats, because you are a good guy, and are nice to those you meets. As you have reached a special age, you won't have to fret and worry, Because you've earned the right to set the pace, and not to hurry. I thank you for the many times, that I've enjoyed your stuff, with lots of bark and spalting, it feels great, it's never rough. I've done my best, my brain is tired, Have a good birthday, enjoy being retired. Make a wish, William Fawkes

Happy birthday Phil! You asked for poetry so, with deepest apologies to Simon and/or Garfunkle, read this to the tune of Sound of Silence. The Sound of Sawdust Hello bowl gouge, my old friend I've come to turn with you again This ugly wood is quite a mess Sent to me by Tuffy Marginez But a vision that I turned with my hands Here it stands Within the sound of sawdust In dusty shop, I work alone Mask and face shield always on 'Neath the halo of a ring lamp I turn my chuck until its tightly clamped Bring my tailstock up so the piece, it won't take flight Into the night And part the sound of sawdust And in the KZbin stats, I saw Ten thousand viewers, maybe more People watching in their homes People watching on their phones People typing comments over-share Because they care About the sound of sawdust "Folks" said I, "Hey you should know How to make these killer bowls Hear my words that I might teach you Watch my hands that I might reach you" And in the stats, the story tells And echoed in the wells of sawdust And the people came and stayed To watch the KZbin star they made And the browser flashed out its warning "Another video posted this morning!" Then the host said, "Good morning, good afternoon, good evening! Or as we like to say here at Shady Acres...Howdy!" No-one whispers in the sound of sawdust

The Legend from Shady Acres: There once was a man called Phil, who loved to say; Here we go with a good morning, good afternoon, good evening Or as we'd like to say here at Shady Acres woodshop howdy! He loved his wood and he loved his bark, Always declaring that nature made it beautiful and I'm just enhancing it! With a sharp gouge here and another there Then ending it of with the scraper everywhere. Now for some polishing and a bit of wax, shellac and sealer And finally the signatures of approval to seal the deal. Always with a thanks for sending it along for all to enjoy! This man Phil so graciousness and humble once again enriched our lives with the beauty of it all! Ps. Man I just love your work! Beautiful piece as always. Keeping you in prayer. Big hugs 😘

Happy Birthday Phil! How many times have you been around the sun? Here's a poem I really like. It's not mine: "These Hands From God" Etches of landscapes and silhouettes of faces, paintings of starlit nights and far off places- My existence is encompassed by the creative arts, and with my two bare hands is where it starts. But lately woodworking has been deep in my heart. A few pieces of rough cedar to start off my day, take some short or long nails and hammer away. Making signs or shelves for myself or my family, so that all can see my heart and soul’s creativity. I now live joyous with a purpose, o so happily. My late sister Karen woodworked in her ol’ garage. She’d make beautiful trellises or create a frame collage. So now as I stand with all my tools in my hand, her inspiration and motivation I completely understand. This hobby was unexpected, so utterly unplanned. I engrave personal names with a heated pen. Start at eight in the morn and do it all over again. There are so projects and ideas stuck in my head, “you are so very gifted”, my dear husband said. To an epiphany of aspirations, I have been led. Now I tell you these things because I’m satisfied with the artisan woman in me; so hard I’ve tried. I shall show you just how much I am elated as in complete happiness I am saturated. For with these hands from God, beauty I’ve created. Hobbies Poetry Contest Julie Leigh Rodeheaver February 5, 2019
