Phil, I watch many videos on wood turning. NO ONE turns complicated wood pieces, like you. You are an amazing artist. You can take the most impossible piece of wood, mount it on your woodworm screw, and make a beautiful piece of art, destined to the Smithsonian! Please continue making these videos. They make my day!

You have come along way in your video production and turning skill. I truly enjoy your work/fun that you share with us. I hope you remain healthy and happy. Another fine bit of craftsmanship that you have shared with us all to enjoy. Thank you!!

Phil, I could not imagine what you could do with this piece. Should not have doubted you! What a beautiful piece. Your mastery of wood never ceases to amaze me. This was undoubtedly one of your earlier works of “magic”. I really love watching you work. Rfoster

Beautiful Phil, just beautiful. I don't think anything finishes as beautifully as cherry...

Dear Phil, it was really cool to see this very old video. What should I say, already at this time you did really impressive pieces. Will done!

Very nice work Gary. Love the colors in the piece

Another very beautiful piece!!!

Wow is that your, now, stubby bowl gouge when it was young and long? Amazing how our tool friends grow old with us. Fun to watch the classics.

How lucky am I! KZfaq suggested this older video for me to watch. What a beauty. I have some root balls of various shapes and sizes and don’t know quite what to do with them. You’ve given me me courage to give them a try. Thanks Phil.

Brilliant Phil, how you've come on in the five years since you turned this piece. A lovely exhibit. Graham

I didn't think I was going to like this one but right at the end it all seemed to make sense, you get a great finish to your pieces.

Beautiful. Nothing but beauty. Well done. I can only hope to be able to produce an art half as beautiful as this piece.

What a beautiful piece!

Interesting piece, Phil. I'm glad it held together. One could spend hours exploring its many facets.

Afternoon Phil , Another Beautiful piece ! Once again, I do enjoy watching your turning unique pieces of wood ! I always agree that the way it is in nature, is how it should mostly when you finish turning it ! Keep up the Wonderful work ! Take Care and Be Safe

It was such a thrill to watch you turn this to the beautiful finished work of art. You brought out the beauty of every limb that grew from this root, and proved that what some would see a piece that would go to the wood stove, could be a beautiful center piece in your home. Thank you for sharing.

Another beautiful piece!

Another Awesome bowl from a piece of wood that i would have thrown it in the fire pit. Amazing job Well Done Phil

Splendid result, Phil!

Boy that looked like it would have been tough to hold together. But, another great piece. You always do a good job.

You’ve been doing this natural turning for a while apparently. This piece. I’m looking at right now is fantastic. Very unique very usable. Very pretty. I still say you’re more than all so much you think you are. Where I found this older video this is really pretty. Keep on sharing Mr. Phil

Another beautiful peace Phil 👍🏽

Wow, Phil! I have never before seen such a limb-y bowl. What a challenge! Well done!

I used to make fine furniture, in cherry, there were a lot of problems with mineralization and wind checking. What was bad for expensive furniture, brings character and beauty to your turnings.

Good evening, Phil. I have and unusual piece of wood that I would like to turn and so I am looking at most all of your videos trying to find something similar. This is the one most like my piece. I love your projects and this video is an incredible turning. All the best to you. Thanks

Well Phil i thought I had a favorite and then you created this 1 . Your pieces are works of art. I don't think of them as functional. Maybe thats because 2 of my favorite things to do are watercolor and acrylic painting and arranging my houseplant collection to please the eye. You truly are a great artist. I think it's a great feeling when someone wants to run there hand over your creations. I get that with my acrylic paintings or my textured oil paintings. You just want to touch them. But your pieces being a living thing I'm sure give off wonderful vibes❣Lovely - Gorgeous piece

Hello Phil....just wanted to make sure that I THANKED you for letting us know about visiting BILLY BURT's wonderful channel....he has some wonderful pieces .......he loves challenges as well. THANKS!! Ken from Orlando, Fl

Certainly unusual and nice.

Watching old videos. A great unusual piece.

Very very beautiful.

Mother nature always is the hidden first artist, however, the person unwrapping the hidden beauty in the piece of wood is the real magician. You, Sir, do magnificent work! Watching your videos encouraged me to turn pieces I would have thrown in the oven in the past, and whenever I come across such a piece, I watch one of your videos before I put it on my lathe. Thank you, Phil, for thinking out of the box and sharing the process and your experience! Greetz from Germany 👍

I love the sheen on this piece! I wish I had the ability to do this type of art! My husband got me a cool round bit that I can use to create a bowl and I hope to get to try it today!

Hi Phil, Since I started watching your videos I have got a little bit more adventurous and daring with the pieces I spin but this one of yours scares the hell out of me and just watching this was nerve racking and you had me holding my breath at times but as always your outcome is superb, congratulations. I wish I had your nerve. Keep up the fantastic work. Cheers Tim.

Somebody dumped a root ball in some municipal greenery near here, I might go and get it 👍🏻

Love it Phil

Honestly. Every single one of your pieces I picture sitting on my coffee table.

Thanks Phil, have to see if I can get one here in Canada. Love your videos!!!

Now, this piece is truly the sows ear that has turned into a treasure hidden in the wood pile! Really enjoy watching the process and then seeing all the little treasures waiting to be discovered. Love the smooth sweep going over the “logs”.

That I learned from you in the US : no more to throw away such pieces of wood , despite all flaws and cracks because they can , once turned , become astonishingly beautiful , well , you are some kind of a daring breed over there !

I really love this piece nature at its best the coloursare great.

Wow an oldie but a goodie! Love your work. Miss you so I went to the archives. Hope you are doing well!

Another WONDERFUL piece Phil' I find great delight in seeing how you get SO absorbed into the piece of wood on your table & how your skill allows you to 'work your way into the piece of wood' as it were. It is as though you become a part of the wood you are about to turn & RELEASE the beauty of nature within. It is enthralling. Fantastic turning my friend as we have all come to expect from such a wonderfully skilled Artist/Craftsman that you are. I am sure every piece of wood that finishes up in your hands 'would jump for joy' that it has become a 'part of you'. Also we could talk about the brilliant finish because you even 'feel' what would be the best finish for each piece. As always, your comments bring we viewers right into your workshop to become almost at one with you. Keep it up mate, you are so inspirational. Cheers, Don from South Aust.

Hi Phil, lovely use of a difficult piece. You hit the nail on the head with the comment about what you don't do being as important as what you do. Great example of line being led by function.

Very unique!

Love it! The second view is the best. Great work.

Wow Nice very nice

Love the uniqueness of this bowl. Beautiful workmanship as usual! 😊

Great job, love it.

This is a wonderful piece, Phil. A true work of art.

That is BEAUTIFUL Phil. I have a Chinese Cherry root ball that I have been afraid to tear into but I think I will get to it this year. Thanks for the inspiration.

do not think I would attempt to turn that what an awesome piece

Last evening, I was sorting the scrap pile (to-the-burn-bin vs. to-the-lathe!) and found another gem hiding amidst the dross (waxing poetic, aren't I? Must be the coffee.) You'd love this piece-- Eastern red maple that from a 14" diam. log, slice off the side of the crown crotch round which sat on the bare ground out back of the shop, so it spalted. This one is so much like several of the ones in your videos that I'm running through your channel list to find out how you did similar chunks. Thanks so much! And thank you for showing, in this vid, how the Sand O Flex works, and how you can pull out more sand paper! I'll be getting a set, for certain!

Outstanding piece of woodworking , very surprised that the small outlying branches stayed with the main piece 👍. Definitely a conversation piece in anyone's home😊

The master does it again.Great work MR.Phil.

Beautiful piece 😀

You are an artist Great piece Phil

The wax over sanding sealer surprised me but pleasantly. Great job!! I enjoyed watching it for sure!!!

You’re one of my favorite turners. Great natural art & a cool, chill vibe.

Only just watched this video, what a brilliant piece, as you say “ Mother Nature at her best “ Also what a marvellous looking workshop you have, I’m very envious. Well done. Take care 👍🏻👏

This one takes the gold metal oddest looking bowl so far. Very interesting grain and cracks.

What a difficil piece you work but nice result thanks

So beautiful!

What a nice piece Phil. Good job. I like that kind of Bowls, with natural edges and the bark on. That sander flex does a great job, I think I need to get one. Up to now, the bark always gave me a hard time to clean it....

It was not a foregone conclusion. Great job. (Hello from France)

Absolute wood art piece here Phil. I can't praise it enough.....I could only wish I could hold it in person....I love Cherry wood. Great Job!! Ken Orlando, Fl

That is really beautiful!

Fabulous! ❤

Simply beautiful.

Ha I just started watching you video's a few months and I have watched all your newer ones now I'm going through your older video's and all I can say is wow! You said this is what you like the most taking Gods work and turning it into this beautiful piece of art it's amazing and you are amazing! You got me started in trying new things I'm not has brave as you yet but getting there lol. Thanks for all your video's I still have much more to see!

Phil, I have watched several of your videos. I think it is surprising that you have NO IDEA how good you are!! Keep up the great work! You are an artist!!

Phil another master piece I love the way you take care of you work the finesse is so obvious that you put you ❤️ in 👍🏻 from sunny Queensland 🇦🇺

Wonderful work. Turned out great. You have a blessed imagination.

You've gotten a lot better with your video's since then but still like it

Awesome work

That would be a scary beast to turn. Well done.

turned out really nice

Beautiful piece Phil! I know it is from 2017 but I like the older videos too!

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS Phil!!! I enjoyed watching this older video it's show's how much you have advanced in your video making 👍👍👍 Happy Turning to you! PS that piece needs to be displayed in an art studio!!!

Another great turning & great quality video- I especially like your your style of turning-it’s entertaining & I always learn from watching your videos- you always tell what you are thinking & the speed you are turning at etc -your work always amazes me Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us Bill M

Hi there this video is the first one where I have seen you and not just your chest.. Its nice to see the person that takes me away from everything else. Thankyou 👀👍

well this is an oldie but a goodie.. can't wait to see how this comes out..

Amazing piece Phil 👏. I'm playing catch up with your videos. I started turning 2 years ago. Self taught with much help of your good self and Gary a.k.a the Professor KZfaq channel.

Absolutely gorgeous.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Awesome 👍👍👍

That is beautiful

Very nice! 👏👏👏

Very, very nice. I really enjoy that you give the piece a voice in what it becomes. Too many, too often, attempt to impose their preconceived idea of what is to be. Domination creates a product. Cooperation and accentuation creates art.

I'm a newbie at this. ( Seems that so far all I've done is work on how to create catches, and I"m getting good at it, I think.) I digress. I've subscribed to dozens of wood turning channels, but I always keep coming back to this one. I love your work and I love your style. Keep posting, please. I'm so looking forward to getting beyond the "catch" phase of this endeavor, and I know that you can provide the inspiration to do just that. This particular piece is one of my favorites.

WOW!!!!! so interesting!

Great job my friend

Very much enjoyed watching you work Excellent video!!!!!

Really cool

AWESOME!

Hello Phil, this is Lorenzini from Brazil. Very good video of him. Thanks!

best way to sharpen a chisel

Lovely piece one of the few decorative only pieces I like. My how you have changed (for the better) in three years.

Beautiful. No front or back. Great for a coffee table or centerpiece.

you make wood turning very interesting! i'm plowing through all of your videos :)

Well you turned a terrible chunk of cherry into a work of art, well done, love your video's, keep up the good work and work safely. yours Ron

Love it nice
