Different Hollow Form - Wood Turning
My third time turning Mesquite, all from the same piece. As much as I don't love the shape of this one, it still may be my favorite. I got a really great finish on it and I think the bark balances out any deficiencies in my design. I had a pretty hard time with some aspects of this piece but must admit, it was pretty fun to turn. Finished in Danish Oil.

Phil, you seem invest heart and soul into each piece you turn. It shows in how beautifully they come out every time.
Thank you, Elizabeth! 😊
I don't get staining generally. You're right, IMO, want dark, use dark, want light, use light. Another beautiful piece.
Exactly! 😊 Thank you!
That yellow oval between the two big "eyes" looks like a beak. It's a Bird Urn. Love it
😄
As you know, sometimes wood has a mind of its own. Beautiful.
😊
It’s a beautiful bowl, I’m a huge fan of retaining the bark when possible. Nice design and grain. ♥️
Me too, Maddie! 😊
Beautiful thanks for sharingm
Awesome. The two eyed monster at the end looks like one of those gecko lizards.
😊
Love the shape, swirls and live edge.
Thanks so much! 😊
Wow Phil, Your dexterity getting into that vase with the various tools including the old sock have made a beautiful piece. Great job Phil grain is dynamite the oil finish is beautiful.
Thanks, Bob! 😊
Phil there you go again beating yourself up over nothing - this is a beautiful work of art! Good to see you - you seem much more yourself after the past couple weeks, hope you're well on the mend.
😊
I like it, too! 😃 Thanks for sharing!
😊
It has the look of an emu with the two eyes,and the shape of a Chinese lantern maybe , excellent save with the bark 👍
Thanks, Derek! 😃
Another beauty. I also love the shape and grain and the whole thing. A lot of work goes into your projects and makes them one of a kind. :)
Thank you, Marge, I appreciate your great comment! 😊
I think it turned out really nice Phil. The finish looks really good, really brings out the contrasting colors of the grain. The shape is unique, like most everything else you do. Thats why we all watch your great videos. You never just turn a bowl, your always use the beauty of nature to set your work apart. Really nicely done !
Thanks, Jason, I appreciate your great comment! 😊
The shape you thought was ugly kinda looked like a flying saucer. I don't think they built them out of wood but as a prototype design it's not ugly to me. As a bowling might not be the best shape. I really enjoy watching & listening to you work. Thanks for that, much better than 90+% of what's on television.
Haha, it's got all kinds of shapes going on, I guess. Mostly just different! Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment! 😊
Hi Phil. You have heard the expression "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" but in your case, beauty is in the eye of the turner.... and the viewers. I never see an ugly piece from your lathe. Grain gob!!
Thank you kindly, John! 😊
You my friend are like the Bob Ross of wood turning, even the hair!!! Okay, not so much “the hair”. In all seriousness, it’s an honor and pleasure to watch both you and Bob Ross go from your respective raw materials to an artistic thing of beauty. As always, AMAZING!
I actually used to have hair just like Bob's, Gary! Thank you! 😊
The finish looks terrific on this one Phil. I think you had the right idea using the Danish Oil knowing it would soak in more. Pretty cool shape as well. I saw Tweety Bird at first but by the time you turned it to the other side he must have flown away because I saw the two eyed monster and could not get that out of my head. And for sure the bark looks great. Nicely done! Gary
Thanks a lot, buddy! It took awhile to develop a shape I could live with, that's for sure. Tweety is still there but he's very quick! 😊
Another great turning.Thanks!
😊
Cute and also elegant. Jazzy.
😊
Another unique beauty! Have to be honest i was skeptical about how it was going to turn out about half way though but the finished piece extinguished all my doubts. Great job and thanks for another lesson and great video!
Thanks, Eddie! 😊
Hi Phil - recent subscriber here after watching your channel for a couple of weeks. Great video! I like how you bring your viewers through your thoughts on what you should do with each piece, problems you run into and your viewers' opinion on what you're doing - and how you just plain wing it from beginning to end! I find your humility really engaging and it shows your viewers that woodturning is really all about having fun as you create something spectacular. I am hoping to make this part of my retired life someday. Cheers from CT!
It's a great retirement hobby, Scott, best wishes with it! 😊
"If you want dark wood, the use dark wood." Well said. I love the way you MacGyver items that you have around the shop/house. Wish I had a neighbor like you. I wouldn’t leave the shop. Your videos are outstanding. The audio and visual is perfect. You describe EVERYTHING without being boring. Nice touch. I wonder often when I turn, "does it sound like this when other turners turn X?" Your audio sounds exactly like the sounds I hear, which tells me I may not be messing up as much as I thought. You are an instructor extroidinaire. I learned, I liked, no, I loved the process to get to the final piece of art as much as I loved the final piece of art. Please keep doing what you do Phil. What do I think? I think you’re a genius woodworker!
Wow! You make be blush, Noah. I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you very much! 😀
Just lovely wood Phil, thanks for sharing, stay safe, Jules, Droitwich, England

Hi Phil. Down here in AZ, 75% of what I turn are landscaper discards of mesquite. One weekend I went to Woodcraft with a piece because I wanted a better type of finish. The woodturner there, says “walnut oil”. I have now used pints and pints of it. If I want more shine, buff it and wax it. Mesquite is a beautiful wood.
😊
Good morning Phil. I love turning mesquite. I turn a lot green and slightly wet wood. I findit easier and seems to be darker. I have used Miniwax Wipe- on Poly with great success. Satin and gloss being the 2 finishes I have used. I found that the wet wood seems to preserve the darker look. Thanks for your videos. They are my go- to sources when I need help.
I love mesquite. But you didn’t have any worms or beetles. They make turning mesquite a unique experience. I’m not a fan of rhombus shapes. They seem to fight against the natural perspective of the wood grain and natural edge. Enjoyed your process and narration. Thanks.
Walnut oil. That's a great idea.
To think I never used mesquite for anything except smoking wood.
The grain is fantastic but the shape with the sharp centre edge didn’t work for me. Saving the live edge was well worth it. As always Phil we learn so much from your coverage you are a true inspiration 🤴
Thanks a lot, David! 😊
looks good -- my niece & her are being me some mesquite-- now I an idea of what it looks like -- thank you
Hope you enjoy, Lynda! 😊 It's a very hard wood so sharp tools are a must. Also, patience! LOL!
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop thank you for the heads-up. Your advice is always welcomed
Another Beautiful hollow form real nice color Well Done Phil

Great new shape Phil, thanks. Graham UK
Thank you, Graham! 😊
Another great bowl Phil. I like it a lot.
Many thanks, Clint! 😊
I the Master’s hand even the most difficult turns out beautiful.
😊
Love it. The shape reminds me of an American Indian basket. And I see an owls eyes in the grain.
😊
With a tall glass vase in it with flowers in it will look awesome.
😊
I like it Phil different is always good very beautiful grain Shape agree with every you sad great job my friend Sam
Thanks, Sam! 😊
Good looking bowl
😊
Very unique and beautiful Phil.
😊
Very beautiful Phil love it take care and God bless
Thank you, Mike, I'm glad you like it! 😊
Great job with a tough piece of wood. Sometime I like to see the magic you perform at the workbench where you finish off the bottom.
Cool, thanks, Bob! 😊
I like working Mesquite from our property in Texas. I usually make lamps out of pieces like this and they turn out great. On larger pieces I cut into boards for tables, or what every else I can manage.
Very cool! 😊
Very nice Phil- thanks for sharing
😊
I like it Phil, I’m with you, I didn’t in the beginning, but I love the finished product
Perfect! 😊
Hi Phil Thank you I appreciate the lessons you give I have used a few of them Thanks
Great to hear, Rob, thanks! 😊
Maybe an alien from the insect family. Beautiful.
Maybe. 😊
Wish I had collected some mesquite during my time in the desert. I was into rocks then, not wood. Very nice job in that one, as usual.
Bet ya got some cool rocks, though! 😊
Hi Phil. I love the shape. As an Arizona native, it's not an uncommon shape in the southwest. Beautiful piece.
Thank you kindly! 😊
Hi Phil.. I think it looks great.. everything about it is very cool.. nice job.. stay well and have a great day…

Wow, thank you 😊
Phil I live in San Bernadino CA. I work full-time as a manuel machinist my laths start at six inch chuck and finish at 14 foot . To watch you do what you do and so fine . Takes a good eye and a special touch. Thank you for your videos. So relaxing to watch.
Phil, it’s surprisingly beautiful.
I'm glad you like it, thank you! 😊
Another great piece!!!
Thank you, Jeff! Cheers!
Hi Phil good job on all things that unconventional, and i am glad i am not the only one that talks to themselves. Ernie smith from brisbane Australia
I'm not talking to me, Ernie, I'm talking to you! 😊
The piece is beautiful
Thank you! 😊
I like it! Like you I wasn’t sure at first.
😊
It's such a lovely shape and color. It isn't or usual style but I like it so much.
Groovy, thanks, Judith! 😊
beautiful Phil, worth the hard work
😊
Lovely job Phil enjoyed the process and finish thanks again
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I loved it from the start Phil I believe it's one of my favorites. You'll hear no complaints from here. I'm living in Georgia now Kingsland, on the St. Mary's River area. Living here has not changed my perspective on your work.
😊
If you look at the bark at the bottom between the two "eyes", it looks like a fish! 😉. It really came out beautiful.
😊
That's a beautiful vessel!! That wood is gorgeous. I'll have to see if I can find some. Thanks for showing us.
😊
Lovely form another special Phil, I use Danish oil a lot and love the finish it gives
Cool, thanks, Chris! 😊
Phil - Welcome back, you sound like your old self! Another beautiful piece!
I'm getting there, Art. Thanks! 😊
Different from what I thought it would look like, “turned” out great.
Thanks, John! 😊
You have pulled another one out a really nice bowl Mr. Anderson thanks for all you do
😊
I like bark too. I love your appreciation of the natural enhanced by your artistic eye
Thank you, Aliceray! 😊
I so throughly enjoy watching the transformation.
😊
Nice job Phil 👏 👍
Thanks, Ian! 😊
OK Phil, I like the way this piece of elm turned out - nice!
Cool, thanks! 😊
HI Phil. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. THat sure applys to this one. Good job.
Thanks, Ron! 😊
As my dad would say, "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do" and you went and did it. Turned out really nice. Mesquite is in abundance where I live in central Texas.
😊
Great stuff Phil… as always.
😊
Odd shape. Beautiful. Love the bark. Another beautiful piece of work.
Glad you like it, Janie, thank you! 😊
I liked the bits that showed operating the lathe components on this one, plus working a difficult piece, turned out great though, maybe a little smigin less bark.
😊
I work with a lot of mesquite here in AZ. I swear by Tung Oil. Easy finish to apply and it is durable over time. Leaves a nice light gloss finish.
Thanks, Mark! 😊
I really like this piece Phil, well done mate.
Thanks, John! 😊
Love all your videos--to think that we are all looking at beautiful wood grains that have never been seen before. I have never turned wood before, but your videos are truly inspirational.
See, I like the way you think, Bruce. Revealing what has been inside the tree all along is kind of how I look at it, too. Glad you enjoy the videos, thank you! 😊
great job phil i very much enjoy watching you do your turning ,,, thanks very much for do them ,,
Glad you like them, Ernie, thanks! 😊
I like it very much! 😊
Thank you, Patsy! 😊
Gorgeous! I think its a one-eyed monster's three sides. It reminds me of a Navajo pot. Good job.
Cool, thanks, Linda! 😊
This is first bowl that I ever seen that half finished looked like it had hemorrhoids. Fantastic recovery Dr. Phil!
LOL!
Like that design! Great job!
Glad you like it 😊
Love it Phill your work is beautiful as allways
Many thanks, Chris! 😊
Your work I for me is always surprising and rewarding. Thank you🌹

Winner winner...ah something on the BBQ with all those shavings for a smoke. Great shape and finish. Maybe ribs? Take care my friend !! Dennis
Ummmm, ribs... Now you've done it, Dennis! 😊
