Looks great 👍 you must sit and look at them for hours before you turn them

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Nooo, if I did that I wouldn't turn them! LOL! Just get a hold on it and start turning, it will become something! 😊

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

I love that you save as much of the natural wood as possible! The “giraffe” looked more like a mountain goat to me.

Not a teacher??? What??? I’ve been a turner longer than most have been alive, but you teach me every week. You turn things most of us would put in the pot belly stove...and you make the piece suitable for display in a museum. And you make it fun to watch. My Thursday treat. Thanks Phil!

[@robertweldon7909]

Phil, there are several reasons why your channel is so popular. Among these reasons are these three most important ones. 1. you are a real person, no pretense. 2. you take the time to explain what you are doing and why, even though you have done it many times before. 3. you are honestly entertaining. These and a whole bunch more is what makes you a real expert, whether you thinks so or not. Again you are not just a wood turner, but an artist. ;-)

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Gosh, thank you so much for your kind comment, Robert! 😊

[@WoodenItBeNice]

I totally agree Robert. Huw

[@zetuskid]

Awh, Robert, he won’t listen to you. People been telling him for years that he is special but it just rolls off his back like water. I guess he is just a shy one. But I love him anyway! Hardheaded or not........

[@rondasmith2950]

Very well said @Robert Weldon.

[@ivanleterror9158]

Thank you, Rhoda, I'm glad we agree on going all natural!

[@ericmoorehead1100]

Phil-I have been watching your videos regularly for the last couple of months. You have provided me great insights and confidence to take on a burl and turn it like you have demonstrated. I just finished my first such piece and submitted to a juried art show. Wood was a Buckeye Burl. I want to thank you so very much.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Great to hear, Eric! I hope you get in. Once you start turning stuff like that it's hard to go back to plain round bowls. Thanks for letting me know! 😊

[@markgilmour7162]

At the of the video I'm thinking no way could you do anything with that peace but you've done it again its a beauty Phil

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you very much, Mark!

[@GarryKWV]

Thanks Phil! This was great and I always learn from you. Quite often, I find myself looking at a piece of wood, and say, "What would Phil do...?" Keep it up.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Very welcome, Garry, thank you for taking some time and spending it with me! 😊

[@AuntieRoma]

What I like best about this bowl is what I see hiding in the wood. I saw the giraffe 🦒 and I saw the 🐺 wolf, even before you mentioned it. I also saw a 🦛 hippo, a 🐰 rabbit, a 🐖 pig and a Phoenix! 😏 I hope all is well and the “mutant” viral 🦠 monster stays far away from you and everyone else. Ciao for now. 🌲💚🌳 🕊✨ Roma

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Beautiful piece Phil, today has been the day for me to catch up watching your videos and as always never a disappointment totally enjoyed them all.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Many thanks, Tommy!

[@jimdee5003]

I like the crown cut and what a perfect piece for resin 👍

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I have no idea where resin would go in this piece, Jim. There is so much nature in it it would be a shame to hide it in any way.

[@mystic_tacos]

I thought it was beautiful before you turned it! Afterward well, I thought I could see it as a centerpiece on a living room table or something.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

That's a perfect use for a piece like this, M F. That's how I see it, too!

[@randykniebes5364]

very unique bowl... Lots of different steps and decisions.... Some great ideas for some of my weird looking pieces of hardwood.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you liked it, Randy! No such thing as firewood anymore! LOL!

[@paulschmolke188]

Sculpture is an apt description. Unique, atypical...my woodpile is danger...it’s all western Juniper and ponderosa. Soft but dense old wood and five to ten years seasoning outdoors. Bark maybe.👍🏽

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Interesting! I think I turned some Ponderosa once. Yeah, soft but beautiful grain. Enjoy, Paul!

[@stevelobel]

Fantastic piece Phil!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you like it, Steve, thank you! 😊

[@rickcarlund5024]

I echo the teacher comments here. To me the most inspiring thing is watching how much enjoyment you get out of turning. It's infectious. Also I catch myself looking at a hunk of wood and asking WWPD "What would Phil do?

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Phil would turn it, Rick and he recommends you do, too! Let me know how it goes. 😊

[@monopinion8799]

You are so right. I ask myself the very same question. He is such an amazing Woodturner and an artist doing so. The fascinating craftsmanship he has already a vision of how the piece of log , crotch, or a burl the size of his fist, will look like. Isn’t amazing how quickly he finds his centrées just by eyeing it??

[@alanbarbour5185]

Gosh Phil, you are so brave. All those wild animals lurking there just awaiting to take a bite out of you, and over 90% of the time you don't even wear gloves. As I said 'so brave'. Joking aside I have turned a few pieces as danger filled as that lovely example you have there and have felt that bite when suddenly, mainly due to my own carelessness, the spinning jaws of some even maybe extinct animal, takes a chunk out of my finger. Must admit I love these challenging 'art' pieces as much, if not more than you do. Thanks so much once again. Stay safe Sir.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yeah, this one was more like turning a zoo than a piece of wood, Alan! LOL! I''m glad you enjoy the same type of challenge!

[@alanbrandt4677]

Phil. Your videos are a joy to watch. Plenty of comments and education guidance. Yet not too much. You are my favorite. You don't juat turn a piece but you are always answering the why quedtion.

Wow, just wow! Gorgeous result. Have to mention, I too am a wood burner that can longer just throw a piece of "firewood" into the flames without first giving it a sharp eye for what may be a hidden treasure if given the chance to spin on my lathe. My building now has over 150 specimens awaiting their chance to show their better self. LOL I hope I can eventually get to them and make a treasure for someone to enjoy. Keep up the great videos.

Phil, I agree with the previous post. I have learned so much from you. I try to watch every video you put out. I am a beginner and I have a 10 x 18 harbor freight lathe so I can't do the large pieces but I have a couple of Indian Hawthorn root balls that I saved when removing the shrubs. I am going to start on one of them tomorrow and see if I can put some of your lessons to use. It may end up the size of a shot glass before I am finished but I am still excited to see what I can do with it.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Very kind of you, Al, thank you!

[@jarmstrong2843]

Phil: You indicated in your video that you inspire people to look at their wood piles since they may no longer think of it as fire wood anymore. However, you neglected to say if you have folks like me viewing the videos, we may look at fire wood differently, but when finished with the turning, we still have fire wood. That seems to be the norm with me.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Hahaha, you made me laugh out loud, J! Yes, I do understand, been there! 😊

[@martincotterill2132]

I think then in that case, if you turn a piece of wood and it doesn’t turn out the way you thought it would then there’s no foul and it will go in the burn pile in the end but at least you tried and that’s okay but at least you tried to do something with it rather than waste it. I suppose that’s another way of looking at it :-)

Love your videos was wondering what kind of sanding sealer u use and what’s the process u use

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Jason! I've mentioned it in several videos and have shown my process. I use Zinsser Seal Coat for the sealer and Zinsser shellac for the final finish. Both come ready to use out of the can, I don't do anything to them. I apply with a rag and a brush where necessary, allow to dry and buff between all coats with a gray 3M pad. After the final coat of shellac I buff with a white 3M pad. Buffing is with the lathe spinning around 7-800 rpm. I've found by cutting a 2" circle out of the pads I can apply it like velcro to my sanding pad and use my drill under power while the piece is spinning, just like sanding. Easier and better than holding the 3M pads to buff.
