Phil Larry here from calif, I must say I love the way you leave what nature made and letting all of us see God's work I'm not preacher far from it but when our son died I lost it and without God in my life I would be nothing and God turned me to wood turning and working with wood! I know you lost your wife that's hard to I know me and my wife been married 47 years we grew up 4 houses down from each other I've known her for 66 years I'm 70 soon to be 71 I'Ve been fighting prostate cancer for 23 years and in march I found out I had colon cancer had surgery within a week doing ok I guess the cancer is the easy part losing a son is the hardest part! but God gave me two beautiful grandkids from my daughter now they are my life!1 I don't know why I'm rambling on and I'm sorry you inspire me and I'm sure other God Bless you my friend!! ........Larry
Thank you so much, Larry! Sounds like you are doing OK. That's great! Keep on keeping on! 😊
Great work Phill, once again you have nailed it. I would really like to see what you can do with our Australian river redgum, you would love it, Cheers mate
@@user-ob8jl9fn2q I bet it would be great!
This bowl has a unique shape. Live edge is always a favorite. Who ever wins the bid on this piece will have a nice bowl to display. Kind of you to donate to the school. Thanks for the show. Joel
Thank you, Joel! 😊
Just lovely Phil. A great gift for the school auction. Scottish cold has turned to prolonged rain so the workshop is the only place to be. Take care.
It's a good place to be too, Kevin! 😊
I look forward to Fridays here in the UK as another episode in the turning life of Phil Anderson will drop on my virtual doormat. What can I say, another piece of embellished nature.
Thanks for watching and commenting! 😊
Hi Phil, Dan here. Really love this one. Enjoy watching.
Glad you enjoyed it, Dan, thanks for watching! 😊
That bowl is chock full, loaded with character!!!
😊
The shine and smoothness is great. Lots of character.
Thank you! 😊
Honey crisp apple bowl donated. Nice very nice. Blessings Phil 💜🙏
Thank you, Beth! 😊
Phil, my friend, I missed a few weeks in the hospital. Now I'll have the fun of catching up. Yee haw!!! I wish I were local so I could outbid whoever gets this beautiful piece and make it mine!!
Glad you are doing better! 😊
I have never seen burl on Apple. How beautiful it turned out! What a lot of Nature, have a great weekend.
Thank you, Jane! You too! 😊
Ah love me some fruit wood let's hope it starts a bidding war and they raise plenty of money, nice of you to donate such a fine piece. 😁
Thank you very much, Lewis! 😊
Well, now this is just gorgeous. A pleasure as always.😊
Thanks, George! 😊
The more natural and "ugly" the look, its by far my favorite. Nothing bets the beauty and imperfection of nature.
Agree, Jareth, thanks! 😊
No Phil, thank YOU
Pretty! Who ever gets it is a lucky person. I see a hawk head in it. Just a short note. Wanted to let you know I’m here. See you next video. Hugs to you! 💫 Roma 🌲💚🌳 🦅
Hawk, eagle, scary monster. Lots of opinions on that little guy, whatever he is! Take good care, Roma, hugs! 😊
That's one very busy bowl when it comes to grain pattern. I like it so very much!!!!!!!. It has real character
Cool! Thanks, Judith! 😊
Good evening, Phil. You get my attention when you said, Apple. I love Apple wood but all too often it cracks. Much nicer when it does not. Great bowl and a wonderful donation. Thanks for the video.
No cracks makes it even rarer, Ray! 😊
I'd bid on that gorgeous bowl in a heartbeat.
I wish you could, Kathleen! 😊
Apple wood is one of my favorites. Great fundraiser piece. Happy turning. 🍎🌳
Thank you! 😊
Like every week Phil just gorgeous. I love apple wood. Always pretty to me. Thank you for sharing. Hope to see you next week
Thank you, Albert! 😊
it is a beautiful bowl. I am sure whoever gets the bowl will be very happy.
😊
Hi 👋, Phil from Phil, I hope you are keeping safe and well, That was very Appealing 😂, another piece of beautiful art, good luck with the Auction, Phil from the moulin.
Thanks, Phil! 😊
Excellent workmanship. Who ever gets this at the auction will be lucky.
Thank you, Phyllis! 😊
Another beautiful bowl. I love working with apple wood. It makes excellent tool handles.
😊
Beautiful, Phil! Very generous of you to donate especially for the choir! President of my HS choir myself! Class of’70!!
Cool, thanks, Kelly! 😊
Well Phil you did it again ❤ another masterpiece by THE MASTER .I saw a face in the outside thanks for sharing.😊

Me too, Vicki! 😊
DAG...! I haven't been watching long, but this Baby is my Favorite so far ! Thanks .....Newk from Kentucky
Thanks, I'm glad you like it, Newk! 😃
Wow oh wow I like I like it that is a stunning piece of apple makes me wish I was healthy and able to stand on my feet in front of my Laith great little fruit bowl Phill Blessings can't wait to see what you have for us next week
Thank you! 😊
Well the figure in that bowl alone was worth the effort! You also ended up with a beautiful shape to boot!! Nice one 😊. I have an old pear tree that has to come down next spring. It never grew very big, but I’m hoping I can get a few turnings from it. Very nice that you’re donating that bowl. We have a fundraiser coming up that I’ve been asked to donate something for a silent auction. Cheers, Rick
Fell that pear tree in the winter when the moisture content is lowest! Pear cracks a lot as it seasons if it's full of moisture, as it will be in the spring and summer.
Cool, thanks, Rick! 😊
@@calmwoodcreations3709 thanks! I hadn’t thought of that. I’ll try to get it down this winter. I guess late winter is best?
@@54lespaul77 Mid-December through February is good. If the weather cooperates, good time.
@@calmwoodcreations3709 thanks again !😀
what a birthday surprise... an absolutely gorgeous bowl... you surpassed my expectations...
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday, Celia! 😊
You always find beauty in each piece.
It's always in there! 😊
I really like this piece, most of all the bark inclusion.. it came out really well... thanks for the video..
Cool, thank you, Juan! 😊
Beautiful piece of Apple, love everything about it. Lucky person who buys it at the auction. All the best to you. Regards Jim
Thank you, Jim! 😊
It's a bowl when it's spinning, a work of art when it stops. It should bring a good amount for the fundraiser. Beautiful! Thank you, Phil and Dave, for your generosity. 😊
You are so welcome! 😊
I love the weird ones the best, and this one had a lot going on in it. You are sure right about apple, it can have all of the good stuff inside, or nothing much at all. I knew it was hard when I saw all the dust coming off it. Good one, Phil!
Thanks, William! 😊
All sorts of things to see in that piece. That bit of burl is really interesting. Another awesome piece Phil; these videos are really fun to watch.
I'm so glad, Mark, thank you! 😊
Fantastic piece, someone is going to have a treasure, love it…..
Thank you very much! 😊
Another beautiful job, Phil. The thing about apple is that it will surprise you within itself. There's always a prize awaiting. And you always find that prize. Thanks
😊
Thank you, Phil, for showing us all the beauty in a pruning off-cut! Well, not pruning, exactly. My bro-in-law had to make room for his new shop, so several yard trees had to be removed and he gave me what I wanted. Now, thanks to your video, I have a much better idea how to turn the other piece like it. Excellent turning and a gorgeous bowl!
Thanks again Dave, really appreciate you giving these guys the ammo! You say you keep some of the best bits for yourself? Id love to see some of the stuff you make too!
@@PBUCKY1969 I've tried multiple times to do videos and found that being in front of the camera is horribly distracting. When my concentration is divided the project fails, every time.
Thanks again, Dave! It turned out really good! 😊
Beautiful! Love it! I bet it raises a lot of money for the school!
I hope so, Mike! 😊
Thank You Phil, Thank You Dave from Calmwood Creations.... Apple wood turning in the Apple season...Another very enjoyable turning today . I like all of differentness of the contrusions 😅... Looks like very hard wood... I see a demon on the inside with a long black tongue with that crack.. Until next time TM
(don't say anything to anyone else, but you really oughta see the tree's rootball! it's still sitting on the rack.)
@@calmwoodcreations3709 It'll be our secret, Dave. Bill
I saw the same demon, can't believe I didn't mention it! Thanks, Tuffy! 😊
One part on the side /bottom looks like an ostrich. Another fabulous piece phil.

It would! 😊
Beautiful bowl Phil! If I lived any closer I'd be there bidding! 😂
😊
So beautiful, you capture the true beauty of the wood, glad you don't use resin. Wonderful ability to see something worthy in what others regard as firewood.
Thank you so much! 😊
Howdy Phil from Lincolnshire UK 🇬🇧
Thanks for stopping by! 😊
Phil, a very beautiful apple wood bowl.I have turned a couple of apple wood bowls and love turning it.
😊
Beautiful!... made me think of when I was young, climbing the apple tree in my best friends back yard... Thanx for the memories Phil. Blessings to you for donating it to the cause... You rock good sir! ✌️😎👍
I appreciate that, thank you! 😊
I honestly don't know that I've seen another piece of apple with as much character. Excellent job!
I haven't either! 😊
Wonderful piece, Phil. It should do well for the school.
Thank you, Richard! 😊
Beautiful bowl Phil!!!! Thanks so much.
You bet! Thanks for watching, Doug! 😊
Another beauty Phil. I have turned a couple of pieces of Apple and they didn't disappoint either. I'm sure this will raise a huge amount of money for the Choir. Great video as ever Phil and a great way to start my Sunday morning and of course a cup of tea. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Fingers crossed, Huw! Thanks, buddy! 😊
How lovely that you're donating it to a choir, as a choral singer myself I find that almost as pleasing as the beautiful bowl. 🙏👏👍
Thanks, Jude! 😊
Stunning Phil!
😊
Different!! unusual grain, and great work as usual Phil
Thanks, Rick! 😊
Once again, a wonderful result. So many of your videos (but, I’ll admit, not all - everyone’s tastes differ after all) I’ve turned to my wife and said “I could give that house room” - I don’t need to say it any more, she just takes it as read. That piece makes me wish I lived down the road from you so I could bid on it, but I’m several thousand miles down the road in England, so I’ll have to be content with watching the transformation and seeing the resulting beauty that Nature and you have wrought together.
Thank you, Ian! 😊
A very nice job on very tough wood.
Thanks, Elmer! 👍
As always another beautiful piece Phil. Nature always throws things together just right. Thank you for sharing.
😊
Howdy Phil. Another beautiful bowl. That shellac sure does a nice job of making woods look good. Take care and keep turning. Bill Riley.
Thanks, Bill! 😊
another beautiful project
Thank you! 😊
Oh Phil! I SOO love how you try very hard to leave as much of Mother Natures handiwork on all the pieces you create! Its so wonderful that all of your woodturning leaves such individual looking pieces instead of the 'cookie cutter' pieces lots of other turners put out. Your pieces are more artistic and beautiful! I love watching you work!❤
The work is mostly done by the time I get it, Texana. I'm so glad you appreciate the nature in my pieces, thank you! 😊
Nice work Phil, apple is one of my favorite woods to work with.
😊
Apple is probably my favorite wood! I gave three nice "burley" chunks to a wood carver/turner under a verbal deal that I would pay him for his time. I wanted 1 bowl and the other two could be his choice. I asked that he get them back to me by Xmas.That was Sept., 6 or 7 years ago. Artists... 🤣
Haha, he must have liked them, too! Dang it! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I still talk to him and see him at events every now and then. He moved on from small desktop-sized carvings to 10' tall, 5' wide "stumps" and high end luxury ski country fireplace mantels. The funny thing is, one day, he'll probably ACTUALLY show up at my house with some carvings.
You sure know how to get a great shine. Lovely piece. Lets hope it raises lots of funds.
Thanks, Chris, me too! 😊
Another unique bowl Phil.
😊
Another beauty Phil
Thanks, Sue! 😊
Wow Mr Phil, I'm loving it. I know what you saying. I would have been thinking about keeping that one also. Keep up the good work my friend.
Thanks, Greg! 😊
Stunningly beautiful Phil! I agree with your philosophy ❤️
Thank you, Marilyn! 😊
So beautiful especially for Apple. What a wonderful piece of art!
Thank you, Dianne! 😊
I like it. Lots a character. (Not as much as the guy who turned it though) i also like that you're donating it. After all art needs to be seen to be appreciated. And yours is certainly art that anyone would be blessed to have.
So kind, Rick, thank you! 😊
Great little bowl Phil! Love it.
😊
Unusual shape but done nicely. Love everything about it and nice you are donating it. ❤
Thank you, Marge! 😊
Phil that turned out really fantastic and some nice figure as well
😊
So cool, soo much to look at, so many colours and textures and figure... just gorgeous Phil. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Richard! 😊
My favourite Apple, hard when dry, you didn't have any critters , lovely shape and finish Irene sed, as always you did a cracking job, hope it gets a good reward for the funds. All the best from Lincolnshire UK
Many thanks 😊
