Just Bursting With Nature! - Wood Turning
As soon as I saw the outside of this piece of Juniper I new I had to turn it right away! It took a lot of preparation and patience, but, in the end, it turned out to be one of my favorite pieces. Finished in shellac.

My child hood marbles would look wonderful in this piece. It should set on a huge kitchen table with many friends and family for all to enjoy. 💜🙏 Again thank you Phil
My marbles would look in there, too, Beth, but I've lost them! 😃
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop hahahaha 💜🙏
20:03 First of all Phil, ya aint old. Maybe seasoned but like that wonderful peice of spalted maple firewood you forgot you had , your always wonderful to see! That juniper is stunning, one of my new favorites.
Thank you, Ken! 😃
Knowing what you better NOT do with a piece is a point where you are good in too, makes you the real artist
Thanks, Erik! 😃
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn) There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn) And a time for every purpose, under Heaven
True enough! After all, the Byrds said so! 😃
You are definitely a master of the craft. Most people would cover the piece in resin but it is so much more beautiful without it even though it was a challenge 👌
I thought about the resin also and how that would have ruined the natural beauty of this piece.
Looks like at least 25 people agree with you, James! It's good to know I'm on the right track. Thank you! 😃
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshopI had to go back and watch this again! Amazing 👍👏
I agree, I hate resin…
Phil this is one of, if not the most beautiful piece you have turned, you my friend are an artist, thanks for sharing!
Me and Ma Nature, James! 😃
What's not to love? Thank you Phil and Jesus.
😊
OK, so this one I had to show my wife. Her comment was “Oh Wow!” That would look gorgeous anywhere you chose to put it. A great job of being creative and delicate at the same time, just beautiful! Cheers, Rick
Glad you like it, Rick, thank you! 😃
Absolutely one of if not the coolest looking piece I have watched you turn. I just checked my WOW meter and it looks like I need a new one. It maxed out and blew a cork! Maybe that was my head because I was locked into watching this one. Arland sure knew who to send this one to.. Dang that is cool! Great job buddy! Gary
Thanks a lot, Gary! It's not often we get a piece with an already finished exterior and a bonus cavity, that's for sure! Sorry about your wow, meter! Maybe someone will send you another to try out? LOL! Take good care, buddy! 😃
I can’t believe that piece held together! Great job Phil.
😃
Oh... WOW...I wish there was a ❤️ button.🙂
😃
No resins - stay with the natural beauty of the piece. I stopped doing conventional bowl turning after watching you and your mastery of nature. Looks wonderful as always.
Good to know, Dutch! Turning natural, organic pieces is just so much more rewarding. 😃
This piece is CLASSIC Phil Anderson. This may be the best piece you have ever turned. I absolutely love it. I am always concerned about your safety when turning a piece like this, but the risk is not the reason I love it. As you can see from my previous posts, your safety is always my primary concern. We cannot afford to lose our favorite turner, God bless you and keep you safe always.
Thank you, Jerry! I'm pretty good about keeping out of the line of fire. 😃
This is my favorite piece that you’ve ever turned, Phil. I didn’t think you could top some of the other work you’ve done, but this changed my mind. 😍
It is special for sure! Thank you! 😃
Forget the screws ,use wooden pegs. You can glue them in and they will fit just like the original wood. It's gorgeous. I've never seen such a beautiful piece of nature. Thank you.
The problem with wooden pegs is, they won't pull the piece together and that's what I needed. I did consider them, though. 😊
Thank you for your response, we ‘Silver Turners’ have to stick together. Best wishes, Owen.
😃
What a beautiful work of art, Phil! I think this bowl might be my favorite so far. And I laughed out loud when you advised your viewers NOT to do what you do…Phil, you just want to have all the fun! 🤣
It's like a kid being told not to do this at home and guys like me said ok and I would go to my friends house to try it!😳😅. Phil is a master at his craft and he turns a lot of wood most of us would not attempt, but he is the one with all the beautiful bowls and turnings! And yes this is another one!
Hahaha, maybe, Michael! 😃
Absolutely beautiful! I love watching you bring out the natural beauty of the wood.
Thank you very much, Kay! 😃
Another example of you bringing out the best of the character of the piece you are cooperating with.
Thank you, Douglas! 😃
A rare piece of natural beauty, greatly enhanced by your efforts Phil, well done.
😃
Incredibly unique and beautiful. Thanks, Phil, for sharing this wonderful piece. ❤ 😃
😃
Oh, boy Phil..................you hit this one out of the park. That is so drop dead gorgeous. I could hold that for hours just turning it around and around looking at it from every angle. Such a nice job.
That's the treatment it deserves, John. Thank you! 😃
The broken drill bit became part of the story. A screw is well, just a screw. Love the beading on the outside. Your right in keeping it.
I know, that beading is what first caught my eye, Rick. 😃 I don't think I even saw the huge foot shaped void! LOL!
The "equation" is (almost) simple: "fantasies" of Mother Nature X Phil Anderson on top X root of suspense = a unique new beauty and a wonderful video. Big big thank you Phil, it's a great pleasure to meet you every week: great turner with the kindness, humor, and a beautiful philosophy. Even moms have not been forgotten! Patrick
Thank you so much for your great comment, Patrick! 😃
I fell in love with this piece as soon as I saw it before you turned it & the end result was not disappointing. It is by far my favorite piece. Thank you for your sense of, natural.... all the way to the dove tail.
Thank you, Lyle! 😃
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop You are very welcome.
Another masterpiece that only Phil could inspirationally achieve. His creative vision is incredible. Honestly, I was holding my breath as I sat on the edge of my chair waiting for this one to explode. What a world class stunner. Kudos to Phil as always.
Thank you so much, Jerry! 😃
This piece is absolutely stunning. I've never seen so much character in a single bowl. I'd be too scared to turn this piece of wood. Well done Phil, kudos !
As long as you can get a good hold on it, no need to be scared. Thanks for watching! 😊
...this piece has so much character...it's probably my new favorite to date...👍 Matt
Cool, thanks, Matt! 😃
Thanks for advising us not to do what you do, Phil. You’re right, young guys like me shouldn’t take those kind of chances. I’ve lived close to 1/3 of my life so it’s way too early to take chances! 😁😁😁 Beautiful piece, Phil. Great video, buddy! Thanks for sharing your expertise! Take care, …..Gord
Haha, I had you in mind when I said that, you young buck! Thanks for the giggle, Gord! Take good care of yourself, my friend! 😃
I want some of whatever you're drinking, Gord. Bill
WOW ! That is just gorgeous Phil ! This has to be one of your finest wicked bowls ! Scary for sure . And the outside is just beautiful ! Thanks for taking the chance of turning this piece and sharing it .
😃
You listened to it, and it listened back and became a gigantic, magnificent… ear…? Yeah - it IS wonderful!
A junip-ear.
😃
You took the risk, and you absolutely got the reward. You couldn’t dream of a more beautiful piece than that! Amazing work, Phil!
Thanks, Derrick! 😃
Phil, it is beautiful! You polished what Mother Nature provided and truly discovered a work of art. I love it!
I'm so glad, thank you, Crystal! 😃
That piece is just incredible, Phil! I can’t even imagine the courage and patience turning that threatening monster took. One of my favorites for sure, you tamed the wildness of it just enough that it still looks very wild and natural. Incredible work as usual, though there’s nothing “usual” about it. It has a Zen quality as if it was shaped by flowing water. And as Bruce Lee would say, “You are that water.” Just a stunning piece, Phil. It was more than worth the risk.
Thank you so much, Sean! 😃
Again you prove any piece of wood has beauty
😃
That's beautiful, Phil. It didn't need to be a bowl. It was a natural work of art but now it's a work of Phil. Bill
😃
Yep, you done it again! The Master at work with Mother Nature, and all the better for your combined efforts to create perfection. I am always amazed at your skills, Phil, and knowing when to stop. You are an inspiration for sure. Thank you.
Thanks, David! 😃
Phil, you always amaze me. This piece is incredible. you bring a whole different definition to bowl turning. Great job.
😃
Nice job Phil! When I first started out about 5 years ago, I was turning mostly symetrical and rounded pieces. Now I do mostly natural things like you, thanks to you. Love your channel.
I'm so glad to hear this, Doyle, thank you! 😊
Variety of colors make it beautiful. Different textures are interesting. Thanks again Phil for sharing with your KZhead family
And a great family we are, Doug! 😃
Woodturning is such a cool job and a pleasant way to earn thousands of bucks ! I regret that I have never planned to be a woodturner as a kid but at least I can get a lesson of doing this kind of work on KZhead... Thank you so much Phil !!! 🙃
It's how I learned to turn, too, Pan. Never made any money from it, though. 😃
What a spectacular piece, Phil! So glad you accepted the challenges it presented. It catches your attention from every angle. I especially love the tenon as one of its features. Masterful bit of artistic turning! Thans!
Thank you, Greg! 😃
I see trees of green; Red roses too I see them bloom; For me and you And I think to myself; What a wonderful world... (wood) I see skies of blue; And clouds of white The bright blessed day; The dark sacred night And I think to myself; What a wonderful world... (wood) "What a Wonderful World" (- Wood -) Louis Armstrong
One of the best songs ever! 😃
I am in LOOOOOOOOOOVE with this piece! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
😊
Wow, you have done many interesting pieces since i have been watching but this may be my favorite! Such a beautiful piece with so many natural features! And hats off to you for being brave enough to attempt turning that. Very well done and as always thank you for what you do and sharing it with us!
Thanks a lot, Eddie! 😃
Wow! Phil! I absolutely love this piece! My Mom,(she's lived a good life too), has 2 juniper trees in her front yard, that have been there for longer than I remember. ( More than 55+ years) . They are probably twice that size and have the same craigy inclusions! I keep thinking that id love to turn that tree, but they're still very much alive. Probably won't happen in my lifetime
Interesting, thank you, Heather! 😃
I've always heard beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You turned a possible problem into a magnificent piece of art!!! Congratulations!!! 🙂
Thank you, Mary! 😃
You are incredible. The risk of this piece was apparent and you worked it carefully to perfection. I agree, thanks for showing us a unique finished piece without resin. Amazing!
Thank you! 😃
i'm going to say it looks pretty fantastic to me. It is truly amazing what is inside of a piece of wood that someone would use for firewood. It was hiding in there the whole time.
I shudder to think of what people burn up, YT! 😃
A truly unique piece, did know how that one would turn out. Glad it held together, well done.
Thanks, Doc! 😃
As soon as I saw this I thought if anyone can Phil can 😊 Yet another stunning piece that I would dearly love to touch, that finish Phil is truly gorgeous ❤
Thank you, Laura! 😃
Simply beautiful. I've used the "do as I say, not as I do" saying to all my sons.
😃
Instead of of using a screw, you could carefully drill hole and use a dowel. Even more than one. If you carefully put glue in the hole it will be helpful. You could also put a groove up the side of dowel to relieve any glue pressure from driving it in. I'm sure you've thought of a lot of things.
😃
Use of a dowel is a great solution! Good thinking!!
There is so much character in that piece, it's just gorgeous.
I'm so glad you like it, Heather, thank you! 😊
I agree with you this is one of the prettiest pieces of wood ever. A lot of character.
😃
Held my breath all the while you were turning. So glad it held together. It’s really beautiful
Thank you so much, Elmer! 😊
I love your appreciation of the wood. I feel the same way about trees. It breaks my heart when I see home developers come in and clear land for their buildings. You are so patient; such a joy to watch. 💕
Oh, yeah, that kills me too, Vickie! 😃
Yeah, I see some of that beautiful wood. Just getting dug out pf the ground with fromt end loaders. And then they just take it up to the dump and grind it up in a machine and make more mhat's terrible. It's definitely feeling I think that peace is awesome
21:25
And make more mulch. Incidentally phil I think that peace is awesome. P s. Sometimes most of the time. I have a terrible time with the voice recognition in writing it a reply
The piece is beautiful Phil ! You're an inspiration and a Master Turner to all of us ! Al
😃
Phil, I very much like the work that you do. Many people might like the perfect and symmetrical pieces that lack the nature that you incorporate in your pieces, but I see what you see and talk about. The life and struggles of the tree to survive, grow and eventually die and begin to be worked by the forces of nature are truly beautiful. This has revealed aspects of my own perceptions that I might not have ever understood otherwise. Thanks for that. Your patter as you work is also an enjoyable part of the creative performance you reveal to your viewers. I always feel more relaxed and peaceful when you have worked and brought a piece like this one into existence. So, thanks again and I hope you keep on doing more of what you do so well. Don Miller
Thank you, Don! I'm really glad you understand what I'm trying to do and enjoy it as I do. 😃
Since discovering your videos I have always been amazed at your ability to see what you want out of the piece of wood, it is something few have. ❤ 😃 Carsten
Thank you very much, Carsten! 😊
Where most people would use that for firewood. Only you could turn it into a masterpiece. Thanks Phil. Stay safe and God bless!!!
😃
You never cease to amaze me! This bowl is FANTASTIC! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!! Oh, Phil, you are far from being old!! 05/18/23 3:38pm PDT
This is great, Colleen, thank you! 😃
Absolutely amazing. This is one of the most stunning pieces I've ever seen. I love that you did minimal turning and let it's beauty and scars show.
Thank you very much! 😊
Phil, you have created a masterpiece. I love this one. I am so glad you survived the whole thing.
Me too, Fred, thank you! 😃
Phil, Scary is good! It keeps your juices flowing. The multiple planes and beautiful exterior lines make an absolutely amazing piece. Thank you for sharing. Keep the aspidistra flying! God bless, Paul
Thank you, Paul! 😃
That, Mr Phil Anderson, is absobloodylutley beautiful. I wish we had mountain juniper in the UK. What a legend you are. You have just done enough turning to make it stand out. It’s piece of art.
Thank you, Stephen! 😃
Very nice Phil as usual. Whoever glued it back together did a good job too.
😊
Phil, it looks as soft as you said. Amazing what nature can give us. Nice job bringing out the beauty.
Thank you, Kevin! 😃
Such a great piece!! So many cracks and crevices to catch the eye!! Glad it stayed together for you Phil!!!👍🙂
😃
What a glorious piece. Really happy it didn’t fall apart.
Thanks, Gary! 😊
Wow Phil. Probably the prettiest piece I have ever seen.
Thanks, Albert! 😃
There is only one word for that piece... Stunning!! Thank you for the video. I love it Glenn
Thank you, Glenn! 😃
Love that you leave the natural aspects of the piece! That outside is magnificent. Really.
Couldn't duplicate that, why mess with nature. Thank you, Bev! 😃
That is, by far, the most gorgeous piece I have ever seen! I did find myself holding my breath while you were turning...
Me too, Hope, almost turned blue! LOL! Thank you! 😃
Your vision and work is incomparable. Wow,wow,wow. Thank you for sharing. 🫶🏼
Thank you, Aranka, very much! 😃
I think nature loves you like you love nature. Only you could turn a piece of wood with so many dangerous flaws! How beautiful that piece is! You are a master!
Thank you so much, Dianne! 😃
As ever Phil, it’s absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you, Sarah, I'm glad you like it! 😃
Phil, one of your best pieces. Real art piece.
Thanks, Phil! 😃
I think it is really cool! So gnarly and beautiful...just like us old people😊
Haha, thanks, Karen! 😃
I love Juniper and I love that piece! Thank you for taking such good care of it!
😃
The greatest piece of art I have ever seen. Your patience and wisdom really paid!
Wow, thank you, Ernesto! 😃
Phil! I am waiting every week for your next adventure with the lathe!
WOW, that is one of natures beauties and you just enhanced it, well done and thanks! Cheers Al
😃
Patty and I think this piece is amazing and a masterful piece of work
Yay, thank you! 😃
That's a phils masterpiece,beautiful piece phil 👏 👌
😃
As soon as I saw the twisted exterior I knew it was a keeper. Spectacular Phil. Greetings from Scotland. 🌈
Me too, Al! I didn't even notice the bonus, already carved, depression. 😃
I'll be brief, just stunning. Out of the park again Phil, when I grow up I want to be just like you.....😂😂
Never grow up, Garry! 😃
Wow! I held my breath through some of this one. A true one of a kind treasure whether as a wall hanging or a table centerpiece. Stunning piece.
Thanks, Vicki! 😃
WOW. Probably one of your most unusual and wild pieces👍👍👍
It's right up there, Nick! 😃
I was skeptical at first but blown away at the end. It’s amazing!
Thank you, Dan! 😃
Oh,,, that's absolutely gorgeous ❤️
Popped up again? Gorgeous ❤️
Thank you, Diane! 😊
Thank you! 😊
The Master strikes again! So glad you didn’t blow that up in your face or all over your shop. Very well done, Friend!
Me too, Danella! 😃
I'm definitely in love with this juniper piece Phil😊
😃
It is very organic - it looks alive. Absolutely brilliant piece 😲
😃
Yep it’s both beautiful and interesting something I don’t think I would have seen myself.
😃
Your bowls are so unique! You did a great job of finishing what nature had already begun.
Thank you, Jim! 😃
Thank You Phil, Thank You Arland Sanborn.... That Juniper looks pretty cool with that swirly wood on the side. That is the "Mother of All Junipers," (just right for mothers day 😆. I specifically like that broken drill bit. I have attacked so many broken drill bits in my working life, so, so many and sometimes I have been successful at removing them while other times I just had to go with it and leave it in. For you Phil I guess this was one of those "just go with it" turnings. Very Cool Turning Phil and until next time.... TM
Yeah, I could have got it out but it would have left a big hole to fill that would have looked awful. Now, it's just shiny jewelry! Thank you, Tuffy! 😃
I think you made a beautiful piece out of a hunk of wood that most of us would have tossed as not worth the risk.
😃
I knew from the start if this held together this will be a very special turning. It held and yes it’s a very special bowl. I love this beauty. The outside edge is remarkable. I agree with you Phil it may be my favorite of all the pieces you have turned. Thanks for the show. Joel
Thank you, Joel! 😃
This piece has the look that you usually only get from driftwood, where only the most stubborn parts of the wood remain. The outside looks almost like feathers. Pretty darn cool!
I like it quite a bit, William! 😊
All of your projects are fantastic but this one is gorgeous. It’s one of my favorites also good job Phil
😃
