Many times I like to turn a piece of wood just as I've received it. This piece is no exception. I find plain, round bowls to be, well, ordinary. Often the original, organic shape, is way better than anything I could come up with. Try something like this, you may find it draws a lot of positive attention! Finished in shellac.

OK Phil. Here is my short comment. Your videos are the reason I started turning bowls. I give a large portion of my bowls to charitable organizations to be sold for revenue. Therefore, You are the reason these charitable organizations prosper. And yes, due to your recommendation I bought a sandoflex. I love it immensely and would surely treasure the one you are giving away. Thank You.

Phil, another nice piece. I agree looks like some kind of apple, maybe crab? As an old timer also, I appreciate some of the first tool editions when they were made to last and could be maintained and often repaired! Planned obsolescence devised by the marketeers a sad reflection on made in the USA! Whoever gets that original will cherish it! Keep up the inspiring work and stay well and safe. Warmer now here in MT also.

I have been turning for about 6 months. Found out almost immediately that the lathe was just a ‘starter’ and it seems I am constantly figuring out that I need- or at least could use- more equipment and tools. Slowly but surely trying to add equipment as the budget allows. My husband and I watch your channel and love your positive spirit and appreciation for nature and how the projects turn out. Before turning, I had never gushed over the figuring or shape of a piece of wood! Who knew one could get so much pleasure from just appreciating the hidden treasures inside of a chunk of wood. I don’t really anticipate winning- I don’t usually win things like this but wanted to let you know how much we enjoy your channel and your positivity! Thanks, Leah Russell

You are the person that got me into leaving natural edges on my bowls. I never understood until I saw what you and a sandoflex could do to soften the look and feel. Now I attempt to save the bark whenever I can, but I still don't have a sandoflex so I have to use a lot of alternatives. It would be helpful that is for sure. Looks like an apple tree that started to spread maybe near the crotch.

Plain and simple. Got bored making candle holders and simple bowls. My lathe sat unused for about 20 years. Started watching your channel, a few years ago, inspiring me to look at wood and turning a different way. Thanks you.

It's such a more interesting way to turn, thank you! 😊

Hi Phil Guess this would be an apple for the teacher, oh crap your the teacher. LOL. Nothing for it, you will have to keep it yourself. It will make a nice addition to your collection. Love the heart wood through the center. Take care Bob

I’m new to turning and I’m learning new techniques all the time. Turning has become my favorite way to unwind too. Win win.

I am really liking the square-round bowls. This apple is beautiful. Again I love the color combination the light and dark. I have always said your commitment to sanding is the biggest part of your turnings. Now Phil you have inspired me to turn. I’m moving to Montana as retirement is here. I will need a sand-o-flex to follow in your steps. As I always say…. Thanks for the show. Joel

Why do I want a sand o flex? Ive ALWAYS wanted one. Ive seen them advertised for years, and just never got around to buying one. Now Phil, whether I get THAT sand o flex, or dont, I would enjoy trading emails with you anytime. I feel like ive won every thursday when I watch a new Shady Acres video! Sometimes, on wednesday too! Thats a beautiful piece, as always. You just never disappoint. Its gorgeous! 😎❤✌

Haha, yup, that's the way it goes, Rachel! I always warn people, "don't get started!" but, they don't listen! 😊

I was lucky to get some green sycamore logs and have been part turning them. I have some interesting bits left with odd branches etc. I'm looking forward to seeing what they turn out like.@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop

Hi Phil, what I find amazing about your videos is I always learn something new, you may not even point it out or know you doing it but each video is an education to me, gorgeous piece!

Hello again. I have learned that trying to sand live or natural edge by hand is not the way to go. I need a Sand O Flex tool before I tear all the skin off my hands. I would like to be considered for the Sand O Flex give away. A Sand O Flex and especially one that was owned by Phil Anderson would be a great addition to my new hobby.

Phil I have my first live-edge bowl on my MIDI Lathe and came to your channel to make sure I am turning it correctly. Thanks for your help from Georgia, Jim!

Yay! I know you're having fun with it, Jim! That first one can be intimidating, I remember that, but get a few under your belt and you won't want to do anything else! Thank you! 😊

Hi, I am a newbie wood turner. I really only made about a dozen bowls and a few other odds and ends. As a new retiree I think I have found my retirement passion. Like you I would love to donate my work to charities but also to handout at Airstream rallies we attend, commentating the event. The sans-o-flex would be a wonderful addition to my fledgling shop. Keep turning! I love your videos.

Beautiful piece Phil, the figure in the wood, the shape you gave it, and the bark just all work together so well. Regarding your comment on the Sand-o-flex; you stated you sold them when you worked in a hardware store and have been using them for 50 years. My mind went, "ah, back in the 1950's" then you burst my bubble and said "back in the 70's". Now I feel old. 😕 I got one from SuperGrit several years ago and really like it. I'm sure you will find someone who really needs and deserves one. That's really very generous of you.

Good evening Phil. I've spent more time youtubing than turning so far, but I appreciate your concise clips using different materials. Your also willing to try different techniques based on the material at hand. You seem to see the beauty of the wood before you turn it. Thank you.

I built a get-away in the mountains of Arizona and wood working is part of the plan. Your style of turning has been my favorite to learn and a sand-o-flex is a must have.
