There's A Feather In My (Walnut) Crotch! 👀 - Wood Turning

A crotch piece can often offer wonderful grain patterns and this Walnut piece is no exception. Just beautiful! I also offer answers to questions about how to find center and mount an odd shaped piece and why I start with an odd shaped piece. Finished in shellac.

Phil, I am going to speak for the rest of your fans It's been over 24 hours since most of us viewed your last video and you haven't responded to comments. I know you had health issues in the past. I hope your okay.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wow, I appreciate that you notice this, Russ, thank you! You are right. It's a busy time, working on my deck but still turning during breaks. I don't want to miss a week if I can help it. I don't like getting behind in the comments like this but it can't be helped. I have checked in each day just to see how this video is doing. I'll get caught up, soon, I hope. And, I'm doing fine! 😊

Geeze you know Phil probably has a life too

[@glen3257]

@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop great news Phil, I wish I was there to help you! It would be my pleasure. I may not be able to turn a bowl, but can build a hell of a deck and home repairs!

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Glad you enjoyed turning this little crotch of black walnut. Back when you first started the channel, you were choosing between a “good piece of walnut” and a not as nice piece of wood. You chose the other piece to work on that day. Given that I had too much turning wood, that video is what inspired me to gift you some wood at that time, and give you more choices to pick from. The rest is history! Glad I could help support the channel over these past years. It is always rewarding to watch you create one of a kind turning on your lathe.

[@calmwoodcreations3709]

Thank you so much for sharing this piece with Phil!

As Dave and Bill said, Thanks Valerie

[@davidbaxter5132]

Valerie, you, too, are a star for supplying Phil with wood; thank you.

[@calmwoodcreations3709]

I got started sending Phil wood back when he was beginning because in one video, he was complaining about only having birch for turning local hardwood. Figured it was a good way to repay for all the teaching he does for us. (also a good way to get some of my excess out of the way)

[@derekcomer4858]

To turn that bowl round would be to strip away all of its character, your way is absolutely the way forward. Thank you for enriching all of our lives with your wonderful presence and talent 🙏☺️

A very cool looking piece Phil. I love the grain pattern inside. Nothing quite like a crotch piece. Some of the nicest looking bark I have seen on Black Walnut but your treatment of the bark is the best. Another fun video to watch my friend, Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks a lot, Gary! Hard to go wrong with Walnut and then add in a crotch piece and I'd really have to try to make it look bad. These little pieces can be a nice break from the massive, problematic pieces. Just right for your shoulder, I bet! 😊

[@ThePapa1947]

Phil I have to admit I am getting spoiled on these small turnings. Shoulder is pretty happy with me doing it.

[@davidbaxter5132]

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, I gotta go look at the bottom, now! 😊

[@calmwoodcreations3709]

Okay! Now you've done it! You took a waste chunk and made a gorgeous live edge bowl out of it! So now that's forcing me to head out to the cut-off pile and search for that odd maple crotch waste chunk that I remember tossing to the side 'cuz it was just too odd, too thin and the large slab's grain was simply too exciting. I'll find it... sometime. Oh! I've got a couple shirts just like that. I made this song up because of it: "I've got shavings in my pockets, "I've got sawdust in my shoes. "The wood just keeps on spinnin', "But I've got woodturner's blues." Gorgeous bowl, excellent save! Thank you for the tricks and methods.

[@williamellis8993]

Nice song. Bill

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, nice lyrics but don't quite your day job, Dave! 😊

[@ILWT1955]

What a beautiful piece Phil. My whole turning experience has been influenced by you. I have even purchased my lathe which is the same as yours. I approach my pieces very similar to you. I love your approach and the fact that it’s more fun to turn something that’s been given to you just as it is. I get most my wood from a local firewood supplier. He loves that I turn them into art verses burning them. He allows me to look thru his piles and never charges me. Great guy. So you are truly the inspiration to what I do. Thank you so very much for sharing this passion .

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

What a beautiful comment, thank you so much, David! 😊

I just paid a grand for a piece of American Walnut. It had a steel rifle attached to it. The wood has plenty of usage dings in it and grit on it from 142 years of usage. I will steam out the dings out with no problems and finish the wood to make it look brand spanking new. Do all the metal refurbishing and have a new 142-year-old rifle. It ought to last another 142 years and longer if taken care of. I got ahold of the 1881 produced rifle just in time to save it for future generations. As usual you turned a beautiful chunk of wood!!!!!

A wonderful bowl, a lovely piece! I wish I were younger, my son had his walnut tree taken down because it was growing under a power line.
