The 9 year old says, "Very nice," and the 7 year old wants you to turn it upside down so that it looks like a volcano! Most often I cast the videos to the TV so they can watch too. Some really catch there eyes and this is definitely one. I think it's quite amazing with some really wonderful character.

Phil, I rely on KZfaq “University” for learning wood turning. I used to have real-life mentors where I used to live, but for the last 10 years, I’ve been on my own. You are thorough in your YouTub videos. You are a great “instructor”. Thank you and please continue your “training”!

i'm really glad that you took some time to explain your process a little bit more. It's nice to have a peek behind the curtain. Lovely work as always.

Went crosseyed watching that grain spin, but luckily I was able to rewatch it in reverse.

Phil, because of you I now know more stuff, not that I’ll ever turn a piece of wood, but if I ever meet a live woodturner I will be able to understand his lingo. Learning never stops and I love watching you make beautiful things from log ends.😮

Great work Phill. When you were tightening the piece on the worm screw and the wood popped I thought it was you again. My heart dropped. Then realized it was the dang wood.

Well done. Enjoyed watching with our coffee in hand. We either watch from a kindle pad or on TV, so these do not have bells.We both think phone screens are too small for us to watch and not get our eyes crossed. 😂 Thanks for sharing 👍💕

Beautiful piece of oak. Great video- I like the way you talk through all of your steps and processes. Thanks Phil

I really like the bowl. The rings look like a flower in the bottom of the bowl. Such a lovely bowl.

Hey Phil, I watch alone of your videos, I am a long time woodworker starting into wood turning. Your channel is very informative, and you do great work…thank you

bark and bug holes, my kind of turning.... love it... thanks Phil...

Hi Phil, 40 years ago when our house was built there were few codes that needed to be followed. We are into a complete house refurbishing from top to bottom, inside and out, and everything must be upgraded to meet the up-to-date codes and rules. We have an army of contractors working to create our dream house with the modern upgrades which means with the noise I can't get in my afternoon power naps. My wife Dee has agreed that we need a 14 X 24 outbuilding which will be a combination storage/man cave building. And we will deal with that after the home is finished being refurbished. Our county requires permits for almost every nail that goes into the house. You do a complete home restoration. and get rewarded with increased property taxes. The smile on Dee's face makes it all worthwhile and I get a man cave out of the deal. Yeah!!!!! Another very nice bowl!!!!!

Wormy white oak! Fantastic piece. I love the grain pattern of white oak. Thanks Phil.

I am so happy to see you back!!! I hope this new video means your recovery is complete. Stay safe and thank you for sharing your amazing talent with the rest of us. 🤗

Unusual, but I don't think I ever saw a end grain bowl. Great job Phil.

Mr. Anderson, Once again a top notch job. A beautiful bowl.

Another awesome Phil creation . Great job Phil !

I think that came out wonderful Phil and I love the bug Holes gives the peace a lot of character 👍👍

Phil, I’m a new woodturner. You’re video was incredibly informative. Thanks so much.

That really turned out to be a very neat piece. There is a lot going on and lots of features that add interest.

😁Thank You Phil, Thank You Dennis😁....Hard Oak, I could see smoke drilling for the woodworm screw. I love Oak, perhaps a bit of a pain fighting it's hardness but the finish piece (i think) is always worth your effort. Your Twilight Zone Oak Bowl 😵‍💫.... Love it all from beginning to end & LOVE THOSE BUG HOLES!!!. Until next time Phil..... TM

...love the grain and different characteristics in this piece...very well done!...👍 Matt

I have never herded of French polish before. Thank you for explaining it just for me.🤓

I am so glad you are doing well and you have healed the arm, shoulder. The bowl is beautiful.

I like to feel the wood grain as well. Wood is good! Lovely little piece.

Really nice! I am inspired to play with the really large white oak logs my father-in-law gave me last year I have not had time to do anything with.😊

I like Oak nearly always get good grain patterns, nice to see end grain turning for a change too. 😁

I am glad that you are always the teacher. Nice work!

That came out really nice, Phil! Really pretty, actually.

Bore da Phil, Great 101 on turning end grain bowls and the size needed for tenons. That little bowl looks fantastic and I love the natural edge rim on it. Great way to spend 28 minutes while having my morning mug of tea Phil. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

Your bowl has a lot of character,,, seems to have a soul of it's own, Very cool personality . I love it,.

Another beauty... I agree with you about being able to not only see, but feel the grain of the wood... and being able to laugh about the mistakes... Thanks for sharing!

It's a beauty Phil - great to see you, my weekly fix! All the best to you

Nice work,you learn a lot just by watching.

Another work of art, Phil. I love the oak grain.❤

Welcome to Phil’s Twilight Zone. 😳😳😳 Great video, Phil. That is a truly beautiful bowl, my friend. Another very entertaining and informative video! I always enjoy watching you work, Phil. 👏👏👏 All the best, …..Gord

Another fine piece by Phil! And I do remember Twilight Zone lol

From the side it looks like a big tasty pie. Another beauty Phil.

Thank you, Phil. Thank you Dennis. Very enjoyable video. Can’t wait to get back in the shop again.

French Polish! I haven't heard of that process for years. A good result, Phil.

You are a great teacher. I have learned so much from you. Thank you.

Love the live edge bowls and knots and bug holes just have to be part of it, looks great Phil. All the best to you. Regards Jim

Super nice grain, love the bowl and the bark sets it off.💜💜💜

Hi Phil, I really enjoyed your video on the end grained oak bowl. I especially appreciated when you explained about sheer scraping. I was not exactly sure about shear scraping or how you did it. But now I know how. I thank you very much for that. OK, have a good day. Roger.

Phil, I truly enjoy Thursday evenings. It is a pleasure to watch your turnings. Thank you.

That's beautiful Phil and you did a great job turning it as well!!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

I really like the way you keep worm holes and deformities. Beautiful as usual.

What a cute piece. Love the twilight zone effect. I would buy that if I saw it for sale somewhere.

Very nice piece. I've yet to turn an end grained Bowl. The Twilight Zone reference cracked me up.

I live in Bellingham, Wa. as I understand you live in Washington State. I enjoy your videos as a wood turner myself. Thank you

Thank you, You are a very good teacher; I've watched several of your videos and have learned from them.

I don't see any faces or bugs, just a whole lot of beauty. Thank you for sharing in the creation of this wonderful bowl. 😊

A very pretty little bowl! Thanks for the video Phil!

A really simple depth gauge is a piece of rod in the tail stock locked in position, slide the tail stock up to the Chuck and mark the bed with a felt tipped pen. Once you are turning you can keep sliding the tail stock up until you reach your mark. Nice work. Liz from Victoria, Australia.

I like the criter marks in the wood. Thanks for sharingb the turn

I really like the view into the bowl with the mesmerizing grain. Nice to see that you are getting use of your arm again. Greetings from Scotland. 🌻

HI Phil great doing an end grain bowl. beautiful.

Really nice piece and makes a nice change to see some end grain turning too

what a stunner! maybe my most favorite of all...absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks for taking the time to explain how you use your caliber to measure the bottom. I thought you were measuring lowest bottom part of the side if that makes sense. I didn’t realize you came through the chuck. Thanks for sharing. The bowl is beautiful. I am as you know a grain look lover. This bowl with the grain and live edge bark hits all the marks for me. Thanks for the show. Joel

Phil, I hope that arm of yours is getting better. That was a smashing wee bowl and really nice colouring and grain. Great job

The dish turned out fantastic. You explained to Dave how to use a couple of functions, fantastic that you realized his problem it warmed my heart. Love Carsten

That is a beautiful bowl Phil, end grain rocks ☺️

That's a nice tip to turn from the inside out on the interior of an end-grain bowl. I sometimes auger the center out with a forstner bit to make the process easier, but the next time I'm going to try to turn from the center to the outside to see if it works any better. Happy turning!

Bravo for this nice little bowl, Phil. The idea is very good. Certainly it is a work of art, but without thinking of soup... this grain made me think that a beautiful and good breakfast would be nice and aesthetic in this kind of bowl: there would be mouth-watering colors and tastes that would go really well with that wood. I think I'll get started soon: simply, after the shellac finish (barely French lol), I will add a translucent food resin protection, which will allow good coffee and good milk from our local mountains, to sit in it like in a cozy armchair without soiling the wood! Thanks again Phil. patrick

Once again great video. I love your explanation of why you do things the way you do as well. Thanks

That is a lovely looking piece. Great work again Phil

Nice little bowl Phil. Well done! Thx and take care.

Very natural little bowl Phill. I like it a lot. Be careful with that arm my friend. We all want you turning. 😁 Best wishes.

Thanks on the sheer scraper tip. A beautiful bowl Phil. I agree feeling the grain in wood helps me appreciate the the beauty of the wood that tree that grew and gave itself for our joy. God Bless You Phil. Glad the arm is getting better.

Nice bowl. I that you leave the bark and the bug holes. I also like that you like to feel the grain. Ps: its great to see you back in the shop.

Beautiful bowl and flower in the bottom.

I really enjoy watching you apply the skill of your craft but what makes it more special to me is your commentary. Like you I enjoy the nature of each piece including the bug holes and tracks. I have a supply of cherry the was stored in a barn for 50 years that the bugs got to and it still makes beautiful pieces. Thanks for being you Phil.

Beautiful white oak bowl Phil.

I like the shape of this bowl! The live edge is great.

Hi Phil... Great job... great looking bowl...great tips... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy

Nice bowl. A lot of turners hate working with oak, but it is rewarding and different. I turn quite a bit of oak. It keeps me in practice sharpening my tools!

Thank you for explaining sheer scraping.

Really neat for you to explain some of the difference in the direction of the cut in the end grain I do a good bit of that and do have some difficulty with it so a big thanks.!

I love how you can take anything and turn it in to something awesome. I was cutting some blanks from a huge cherry burl I had and there was a piece left over. It was a knub from a branch and hollow. My Bride asked me if I could make anything out of it and I said "Not me BUT Phil Anderson could."

Nice looking bowl Phil. I Love Oak, no matter what kind it is. I have some live Oak and red Oak. Glad to see you doing better.

The bowl is very nice as usual and thank you pointing out about the tenon.

Phil. Brilliant timing. After Covid i was taking a walk in the park to perk me up and someone must have gotten a chainsaw for Christmas and cut a tree into bite size logs... shame for the tree but i just couldn't believe my luck. They are now in the garage drying out... noy sure they are oak...probably Ash, but just about the right si3 and shape for an end grain exploration. So many thanks for the video. So glad you're back on form. R

I just shifted houses and my computers are packed away. Watching on a phone. Beautiful, bug holes and all.

I’m watching this a year after you made it. Oak is ONE of my favorite woods and this is just beautiful. As always 😊 Barbara

🙋‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Hi Phil what a brilliant piece of turning you have created for us this week. I love the grain and bug holes exposed inside the bowl. Your explanation of how you decide the depth of the bowl and the different ways you angle the tool for the best finish is fantastic. I'm not a wood turner but just enjoy your channel, anyone thinking of wood turning this is the man to copy.

Beautiful live edge end grain bowl. I love being able to feel the wood also.

This one took me back to my Nanas kitchen. The outside bark looks like Indian pudding has spilled over in the oven. Thank you, really, thank you 💜🙏

Really cute bowl! I love the look of the end grain and the bug holes. Thanks Phil!

Yet another beautiful piece like and thanks again for all you do

Phil, another beautiful piece of art. I have probably watched every one of your videos at least twice just because I like the process of pulling a piece of art out a chunk of old tree and to be honest I like that your videos are just about wood turning without all the advertising and nonsense that most videos on KZfaq seem to have. Hope you're feeling well and I look forward to your next video.

I have always loved white oak!

Another beautiful bowl Great work Phil

Good to see you makin chips! Very nice bowl!

in a pinch, after i had turned a tenon and found it to be a minute too small, I recalled seeing a Turner take one or two turns of painters tape around the tenon .I had my face shield and safety glasees on and stood out of harms way..... worked Great!!!! Kept the rpm's low and very lightly went on with the work.

Hi Phil this is a real lovely piece of wood I like the grain and the colouring in the wood. Thank you for explaining how you do things so it helps your viewers. I'm glad you kept as much of the bark as possible it really makes the bowl looks really gorgeous. You always make marvellous items and they all look fantastic and are masterpieces. Thank you for another great video it was really interesting you are an awesome person. Hope your arm gets better soon from Amanda xxxx

Excellent bowl, Phil. Take care of that arm!

As usual Phil another stunning bowl 🥣 and I love the video you all ways explain everything top man 👍

Glad your back turning Phil....missed your wisdom and of course...the epic things you make. learned a lot from your informative videos.

Beautiful as always. It’s been a busy summer so I’m trying to get caught up on your videos. Hope you’re well, Phil. I love some of your smaller pieces!
