I attempt to turn a wonderful, found on the forest floor, piece of pine. Will it be a success or? Please watch and see! In any event, I may re-turn this piece in an attempt to bring it to it's full potential. Thanks for watching! Like and Subscribe if you are so inclined.
I totally agree with you about not getting carried away. God is a much better at creating beautiful designs than we ever can!
Love that! 😊
Phil, I didn't see a "finished" product ....... L saw MUCH, MUCH more. Thank you!!!! When ever I get frustrated I just think of you and try. try again. Honestly, my finished pieces often leave a little bit to be desired but I'm getting better thanks to the inspiration that comes from Shady Acres.
Thank you so much, Ted! 😊
We learn that sometimes things in life don't work out the way we plan. That is when we have to let go and let God. Thanks for sharing. This is not a failure but a lesson in life.
😊
It’s beautiful and gnarly good work Mr. Anderson
Thanks, Mike! 😊
You gave it your all. The piece of wood was so interesting. I could see several animals and faces in it.
Yeah, sad story. Thank you, Audie! 😊
You gave it a true effort! Good try Phil!
😊
...and this is why you never stand in the line of fire! Thanks for sharing this one.
Exactly! 😊
I love hearing what your thinking about your process and how you see each piece. Thank you for your videos! Beautiful work!! God bless!
Thank you so much, Kim, I truly appreciate your comments!
That's my favorite part of @PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop videos too
I admire your courage to keep on going in spite of all troubles it gives
Thanks, Erik! 😊
It really is beautiful. I could look at that for hours.
😊
Dr Phil, this piece needs a lot of CPR! CREATIVE PERSISTENCE & RECOVERY! A lifeless burn victim into a living memorial of hope. 🙏♥️🇺🇲
😊
Amazing tenacity, I understand why you never want to give up.
Thanks, Alan! 😊
It's beautiful even before turning.
😊
Super beautiful that’s an awesome piece of wood
If only it would have worked out, Ken. 😊
I'm glad you're not drowning the pieces in recin. Your bowls etc. are so very naturally beautiful or "vackra" Carsten Sweden
Glad you like them, Carsten, thank you!
Agreed! Resin feels like cheating to me. Love that you don't go that route Phil.
Phil you did a great job. So much more wood, I enjoy your teaching, and the way you look at wood. My son was a photographer his business name was His Eyes. I think you see wood the way he saw a photo shot. I lost him 2 years ago so it was nice to see him in you. So thanks for that wonderful memory of my son.
Thank you! 😊
It was a wonderful piece of wood. I thought it looked like a volcano field. Thanks for trying.
Thank you very much, Jean! 😊
Video showed why you stand where you do. Very helpful.
Yes! Imperative! 😊
Beautiful colors It's easy to be a hindsight. But the piece was beautiful as it was, for example just hanging on the wall. 🧡🧡 Carsten
😊
Great that you showed what can happened, we need to see that also so we stay respectful and cautious!!
😂
I think the bottom looks like volcanic flow! Beautiful!!!!
😊
Dang, I was looking forward to seeing that piece done. Everything happens for a reason I guess. The piece sent to your son is amazing!!
Yeah, I was hoping for the same kind of piece but the wood was just to dry to stay together. 😊
I felt so bad! I'm so sorry but you can do it with another one I know. I love watching you work it reminds me of my Dad. Your a human with a beautiful soul. Thanks for the peace you share.
Thank you so much, Beth! 😊
I love your never give up attitude!!
I appreciate that, Darryl, thank you! 😃
Dr Phil, it looks like a lava flow from Hawaii. Do what you do best, bring it to life! How exciting. 👍🏻♥️🇺🇲
😊
thanks, i thought i was the only one that had problems , live and learn
Haha, sooo many problems, Bryan! 😊
If it wasn’t a challenge it would be boaring
That was a beautiful piece of wood. To bad it did not stay together so you could have finished it. I was really looking forward to seeing it finished. O well. On to next project. Thanks Phil.
You and me both, Chris! Thank you for watching and commenting! 😊
Valiant effort! I respect your perseverance!!
I appreciate that! 😊
I love the fact you don't take the easy way out and epoxy the pice together. The all natural finished pieces you make are absolutely beautiful thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much, Garet! We are of a like mind! 😊
Brilliant effort Phil. Thanks for sharing, not all was disappointing
Thanks for watching, Randy! 😊
Photos of the previous turning look really great.
Glad you like them, Richard!
I looking forward to see the end thought it was going to be a really cool turn
It was just tooo dry from the forest fire, Butchie.
Oh man... that could have been so cool looking!!!!
That's what I'M talking about, Celia! 😊
I think you are just great, I love your persistents !
Thank you very much, Christine! 😊
what a shame! I love the fact you still shared this with us
It was a heart-breaker...
So far this piece is beautiful
Yeah, so far... 😊
Phil I did 18 ten foot latia poles by hand with a draw knife from the Chediski fire in north east Arizona. I used them to support my deck. What I learned from that was that the pitch in the pine turns into resin from the heat of the fire and the wood developed glorious color from the resin. When I first was watching you turning this piece I wanted you to turn it over so the rough pattern was on the bottom and the charred area that you had to remove anyway became the inside of the bowl. I hope you find another charred piece of pine to try this. I think you will like the result keeping the integrity of the wood and getting rid of the char. Best regards Sharon
Thanks. Great video. It's nice to see a "failure" instead of a magnificent final product. If other turners are like me, the blowups result in either a discarded piece or, on occasion, a completely different result from the original intent. It's amazing how the wood speaks to you and leads you off in a different directions or, simply tells you it just "ain't gonna work dude!" Thanks again. I'm going to watch the video where it turned out right.
Oh that was painful to watch, but you can't win em all Phil. Good job you have lots of other wood to turn, keep smiling.
Yeah, it kinda hurt my feelings but I got over it. Thanks for watching, Lewis! 😊
I am a “watcher”, not a “worker”, and share your fascination with the natural look of wood. I admire your ability to listen to the wood and follow its direction instead of forcing your will on it. This is a particularly fascinating piece, but it wanted to rest in peace in its natural state, not as a bowl. It had already been through a fire. Kudos for giving it the respect it deserved.
Thank you so much, Beatrice, for your kind comment! 😊
Don’t give up on it. It’s beautiful. If it can’t be a bowl then maybe an art piece.
😊
Your determination is an inspiration to other wood turners. I'm glad you put this video out for others to learn from. Speaks highly of you. It was really a pretty piece of wood even though fire is so destructive.
Thank you very much, Karen! 😃
Lots of heart in this work. Thank you for sharing, Phil.
😊
You try stuff that most of us would never attempt ...so BRAVO Phil & a tip of the hat to you, good man!👏👏👏👍👍
I appreciate that, Roy, thank you!
Well Mr. Anderson. You tried and tried and just that makes you a winner on this particular piece. Like they say. You can’t win them all. But it sure wasn’t from a lack of trying . I learned a ton from this video . And listening to you trying to resolve the problem was very beneficial to me. I admire your character and I will continue to watch your videos REGARDLESS of the outcome. Thanks for a very educational and entertaining 38 minutes. Take care .
I actually tried some more without recording it but it just wouldn't stay together. It had been in a fire and was just too dried out. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Mr. B! Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated! Phil
wow!! it was such a pretty piece of wood... sorry it fell apart!!!
Me too, Ruthe, thank you! 😊
Wow! The detail is phenomenal! Loved your talking through it with us! You tried your best. Good lesson!
Thanks, Tina! 😊
Can’t win ‘‘em all. Love your work dont stop doing what you do
😊
coolest turner with sprite attitude FUN To WATCH!!!!
I appreciate that, thank you! 😊
If you stabilized this wood first it would have stayed together yet that is another three four days of work. This wood looked like a weather pattern or an old lava flow to me. Loved this piece Just a shame it was so far gone. Great videos keep them coming and thank you.
I agree on both counts, stabilizing and weather pattern. Thanks for watching and commenting, David!
I love the comment you made in this video. It is not what you do sometimes its what you don't do. Absolutely
Yes, experience has taught me that! 😊
Very educational.
I'm glad but don't forget frustrating! LOL! Thanks for watching! 😊
Thanks Phil for this very instructive video, I'm used to say that a good lesson is never free. Hi from France.
Glad it was helpful, Jean-Louis! Thank you for watching!
Hi Phil, on the pine piece you were trying to turn, you mentioned that your son brought it to you from Montana, and that there had been a forest fire. The high heat created by the intense flames acted just like metal forge,thus tempering the wood fibers to a very hard material to try and turn.Your result was reaching for the carbide tools and still not being able to achieve beautiful results. No worries, try and try again. I enjoyed the attempt anyway,Thanks. Bob in Ohio. 37:17
Thank you, Bob! 😊
That was wild. Just goes to show what can happen. Thanks for letting us share in that educational moment. Take care!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks! 😊
That wood looked like it was made of lava the way it swirled around. I suppose you would have glued the part that came off if it was possible. I still think it would make a stunning piece, Phil.
I spent three more days gluing and tuning, gluing and turning, before I threw it over the bank out back. It just kept breaking in new places. Too dry from the fire to stick together, I guess. 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop that's such a shame, it was a beautiful piece of wood but you take your chances...
I had only watched the intro and clicked "like"! To me it is a beautiful piece without doing anything which goes with what you said... wood turning is often more about what you don't do. I'm watching now to see the outcome. I've watched some of your other vids and enjoy your craftsmanship, respect and appreciation for the beauty in each piece of wood.
I hope you were not as disappointed as I was, Robin. A couple months after this video, I spent three days gluing, turning, re-gluing, turning and finally threw the piece over the bank out back. The piece had been in a forest fire and was just too dry to stay together. I hope you saw the similar piece at the end that I did successfully turn. It is because of that one that I tried so hard with this but it just didn't work out. Thank you for watching and commenting, much appreciated! Phil
I would like that as the top. It's beautiful.
Dear Phil, I'm a woodturning beginner and find it absolutely interesting to watch you thinking and trying to get the wonder out of the log. Failures are very helpful. Thanks for letting me participate. Greetings from snowy Germany!
Thank you so much, Kerstin, for reaching out all the way from Germany! 😊
Tough calls through out the turning. Yes, it was a beautiful piece of wood, lots of character. Perhaps a similar piece will make itself known.
Thank you, Nancy! 😊
Good evening, Phil. You know, as I was watching this video, I think I felt just like you at each stage of this project. The beauty was there, revealing it was elusive. I read in the comments what the rest of the story was. You are correct, there is other wood to turn and life is too short. I spend my winters in a warmer area of our country where they have a wood shop with, among other things, 12 wood lathes. We have many turners, one being 89 years of age. He rough turns 2-5 bowls a day and finishes several as well. He is the first one in the shop each morning. The picture of the bowl you gave your son is amazing. Thanks Phil for being you. Christmas as nearing, I hope yours will be warm and full of memories.
Sounds like a cool place to be in the winter, Ray! Thank you and Merry Christmas to you! 😊
To bad it came apart I was really liking the texture of that piece but the first one looks Great Nice Job Phil
Thank you, Rich!
Stunning piece; love the history that goes with it. Best regards from West Scotland
That's not bad wood, it's a wonderful opportunity to create.
😃
good day, sir! thanks for sharing
It is a beautiful bowl bottom all smooth and shiny. It is stunning and as you say looks like the beach by the sea. Wow it is awesome.
Thank you, Kobie, I'm really glad you like it! Phil
Looking forward to you making something of what’s left , even if does not emboldened more turning you mentioned chaired. Let it return from the ashes.
I kept all the pieces and spent three days gluing, turning, regluing and returning. Then I threw it over the bank out back. The wood was just too dry from the forest fire and would not stay together.
You'll turn anything strange. I love it. Hope you do finish it. Can't wait to see the finished product.
About a month later I spent two days working on this. I glued everything back together, turned it and it fell apart, again. I glued it again and it came apart again. I threw it over the bank out back. Life is just too short! LOL! I think the problem was, having been in a fire, the wood was just too dry to hold together but I gave it my all, Scott.
Nature’s beauty cannot be topped.
Well, I agree but it might have been nicer if it could have stuck together! LOL! Thank you, Linda!
Well done Phil, one of my favourite but hard to find Burls
😄
It may have come apart but it's still a beautiful piece of wood with a lot of great markings
😊
Amazing, almost volcanic. Well done again 👏👍🏻
Thank you, Steve! Phil
Phil No body's Perfect and no piece of wood is either Great attempt
Thanks, Rick! 😊
Great work Phil.
Thank you, Robert! Most of the time, I actually get them done! LOL!
I have been gradually working my way through your videos and enjoying them immensely. I am glad you have decided to share mishaps along with less challenging pieces due to the complexity of the original piece of wood. By sharing your thought process as you tackle complex natural blanks, you providing a chance for even a casual viewer, like me, to learn something new. I truly hope you aren't ever injured when pieces break off and take flight. Stay safe and well, and thank you for all you share. 👍👍👍
What a kind, uplifting comment, Vicki, thank you! 😊
Sorry about your beautiful piece I was waiting to see the end result! Can’t be perfect every time,just keep up the good work!👍🙏
Thank you, Brenda, I will! 😊
what a piece, thanks, BM, aka, Woodbutcher
I felt like watching a suspense movie. I loved that piece of wood, but as someone wrote, it had suffered so much and may wanted to rest. Any way Sr. it is always a pleasure to watch your work and I will watching you each time I get a chance. GM, GA, GE!
Thank you, Reba! 😊
We all learn good lessons from what might have been. Like my daughter who kept falling off the bike...it made the final sucess that much more sweeter. 🚴
Very true!
Howdy Phil, We just finished watching the burned pine episode. You touched on something Garland and I were discussing last night. You look at your wood and it speaks to you. You cherish what nature brings to the wood. We watch other turners and they seem to want to turn away the character that you appreciate. My analogy to Garland was like breaking a horse. You can allow the horse to learn your expectations while allowing his spirit to soar or train him to the point you break his spirit. You won't believe this but you are an artist. The wood whisperer. You respect the wood and that sets you apart from other turners we've watched. Thank you Phil. Susan and Garland Your fans in Fort Worth, TX
Thank you for your very kind comment, Susan and Garland! 😊
Drata. Glad yoi werent hurt. I think the glue held very well.
Yup, there just wasn't enough wood to be held!
Love the look
It’s easy to see that your vision for what a piece can be is coupled with hope, but we don’t always get what we hope for. It’s good too see how the artisan rises above the disappointment. ‘More pieces to turn’, ‘maybe something can work out later…’. The piece had stunning character.
Thank you very much, Gary! 😊
I was thinking storm clouds, but beach sand, too!
Yeah, lots to see, too bad it didn't work out, Greer. 😊
looks like it might have been through a couple fires from the looks of the knots one of the knots looked like a heart. don't apologize for soothing out of your control it would have been a Beautifull piece. ||||
Thanks, Steve! 😊
That peace of wood looks amazing!
That's what I thought, Dennis.
You might not have ended up with a finished piece Phil but take heart in the fact that you have given us some important insights into the risks as well as the rewards of doing pieces like this. Thankyou for sharing. Denis.
Thanks for watching, Denis! 😊
I just saw this. Yours was a valiant effort. It would have been gorgeous. Love the previous one you gave to your son. I love how you do your "natural" pieces (as you call them) I think they are the very best. As a beginner I have done a couple less challenging natural pieces myself ....inspired by you. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Sandra! I love that you are trying something a little different. Enjoy and thank you for watching and commenting! 😊
They all came out really cool love the natural edge stuff. ......
This was a heartbreaker. I recently spent three days gluing this back together. It came apart two more times. I give up. But, my son just sent me a picture of another one he is bringing me in a few weeks. Can't wait!
As an artist I know from experience that not all good ideas work out; but you still had the process to enjoy.
There's always that, Ronnie. This was a learning experience, for sure! Phil
The previous bowl is beautiful. I’d keep trying to make it work also. Thanks for sharing and I just subscribed. Now I’m going to bing your other videos.
Thanks, John, for watching and for your great comment! You made my day! And, thank you very much for subscribing! I will try to be worthy.
This piece is ideal for a colored epoxy/wood bowl
Could be but we'll never know, Peter. After spending three days gluing and re-turning, then gluing and turning again, I threw it over the bank out back. Having been in a forest fire the wood just got too dried out to stick together and I gave up. Maybe next time! Phil
Dedication!
I felt your frustration on this piece. Not every piece is destined to become a beautifully turned piece of art, and sometimes we just have to accept it. Regardless, we somehow see the potential even when the results tell us differently. Nice try.
Hello sir, This is one reason I don’t sand or put a finish on until I complete roughing the complete bowl, so many people rough one side and then waste time sanding and put a finish on before they finish roughing the otherside🤫 So many things can happen roughing a odd piece of wood like this one, it did have nice character to it. I’m sorry and it as happen to me before But I don’t sand anymore till it’s totally roughed and turned, if it makes it thru that then I can sand and finish. Be safe and keep a turning.
Sounds like your practice works great for you, Greg. I sometimes do as you are suggesting, but very seldom. It's just so much easier to reach every nook and cranny when the piece is facing you. Thank you for watching and commenting! Phil
Please glue it up again and maybe add a dowel or two to keep it together. More wood glue please. Help save me! 🙏♥️🇺🇲
😊
Sure was a beautiful before! Glad you’re gonna try again. I thought the bottom was beautiful……
😊
Thank you Phil for you videos. I was having a hard time figuring out how to put my burl on the lathe until I saw you cut one in half. I had already cut mine in half but because of the inclusions and the odd shape I couldn’t figure out how to do it. Then I decided to cut it in half again, so I cut it into quarters. This made everything come together. I’ll put a picture of it on my Instagram page when I’m done. Thank you so much for your KZhead channel. I really enjoy it. You do a great job.
Thanks, Don, I'm glad you worked it out! 😊
Hey Phil you gave it your best shot. If someone bats 1,000 they are hand picking everything for the 'safe', 'sure', & easy pieces. Or they just don't show all their vids...lol... That piece of wood was a crap shoot. To me it looked like you were going to have to 'dig' in deeper to get to 'good' wood. I'm very glad the piece that blew off didn't hurt you. When you turned the other side it looked very cool and very trippy.
Yeah, I really hated to lose this one but it was just too dry from the fire to hold together. I actually glued it all back together and tried for three days, regluing, returning. Threw it over the bank out back. Life is just to short.
Well fought
😊
The most difficult pieces can give the most eye catching works of art; only a thought that others have mentioned cries out for re-glue and a resin soak and finish for a sublime piece
I saved the pieces, Ian, and spent three days gluing, turning, re-gluing and re-turning. Then I threw it over the bank out back. The wood had been in a forest fire and was just too dry to stay together. As for resin, that's just not me, at least, not at this point in my turning. I prefer to let my pieces be as natural as possible. I do enjoy watching others use resin, like Andy Phillip. He's the master as far as I can tell. Phil
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Yes there are a few out there Zac Higgens, Nick Zammeti, House of resin (England) Jim Overton (England) Emily Meder, to name but a few all great at their respective discipline in resin. I have the Pressure pots, Vacuum pots, vacuum and compressor pumps but like you I like the natural look, but unlike you I'm not a purist by any means and after 55 years still learning and will try anything with many many catastrophic and spectacular fails lol. Love watching you and others turning, always love the end products, I will keep going till I can no longer hold the chisels or have to get someone to chuck up for me :-). Best regards and many happy days at the lathe. Ian
Phil, yes, I realize that I’m 4 years late! But, it’s never too late to learn, right? I think we both think along the same lines, this piece started beautiful, but it was faulty. But it’s still a learning piece. Have yet to watch one of your videos that I did not learn something. I have almost completed an urn from a piece of Russian olive with bark inclusions and branch pieces that I think will be beautiful. I started it with you and your work as a major influence and guide. Thanks for what you do and what you have done. Keep up the good fight.
Thank you so much, Ken! Your urn sounds amazing and I'm sure it will turn out to be beautiful! 😊
