Always enjoy your commentary Phil. You have driven me to start turning all kinds of bizarre pieces of wood lately! Thank you for the encouragement sir!

I think that piece will give you confidence to others with narrow tops, turned out nice.

Another very nice project

Beautiful I love scrap bowls with the bark on. Thanks for sharing.

You are a very good instructor. Your work is very beautiful.

Phil I swear you are just GOOD. You make awesome pieces.

you are incredible! thanks for all the knowledge on wood turning. Greetings from Brazil.

Gorgeous little bowl! I always love the bark!

Love the bark on this piece Phil good job👍

I love the bark on this one Phil! See you in the next one!

Absolutely awesome 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Love that little bowl! I was hoping that crack didn’t cause a failure while you were turning, glad it held together. Great job!

The grain is breathtakingly beautiful. Wow!!

I love the live edge and natural edge pieces and i especially love the shape of this one. Thanks for sharing. See ya in the next one.

Love the bark on this one!

Both those bowls look great.

Very nice.

I just love these live edge ones, especially this round inside & out. Well done, sir

Beautiful! Wow!

That's a nice bowl. The live edge is cool.

Oh boy Phil this is a magnificent and breathtakingly stunning bowl. I love the natural look on it. I love it.

great piece phil and a great channel thank you for sharing

Turned out great and great job Thumbs up Enjoyed!!!!

I love turning spalted maple! NICE peice phill just a note try a small bit of loctite blue formula if you want or need to remove mt2 center onto the drill chuck if you want it there somewhat permanent use the red Loctite Happy turning!

Another lovely bowl. Thanks for sharing.

I love watching your videos as you are so real with your turning. I am so encouraged each time. Lovely bowl too.

Love the Character of your creations

Awesome piece, Phil! I always get so happy when you post new videos, they are always entertaining, especially your narrative. Keep it up! 😃

Luv your work Phil, it's a very nice piece👍👍👍

A nice bowl keep them coming

Phil, you did a fine job on that piece.

Really like this one!

Quality work/play Phil....I give this one 2 big thumbs up...it would have been 4 but no bug holes so I left my shoes/socks on....Beautiful with the grain, bark and cracks!!!. Always nice to see something that would have been burned turned into a cool little bowl with tons of character!!!. Glad your around Phil, you are a very honest woodworker...Thank You Phil.....tm...PS: very nice video work...

great site

Very good work 👍🏼

Great job! Really nice work. I was sure you were going to lose the bark, but happily you didn't! And, for the record, negative rake is definitely the way to go. Makes a huge difference and I feel much more confident with it.

Looks great

Hi Phil, Outstanding job and a beautiful bowl! Thanks for the video! Tom

Gorgeous, as if the shape was already there just waiting to be found ❤

Looks great ! I haven't used carbide cutters yet but bought everything I need to build a set of 4 yesterday so a few more days. That would make a nice candy bowl for your desk........see ya on the next one. .....John

I’d like to see your video on grinding your negative rake scraper

That is a great looking bowl. I really like the Bark look to it. You do a fine job of turning, if you could not gloss over the chisel moves (when you fast forward) I myself could learn even more.Being new to turning I try to see what you guys do to avoid catches, they are fast and furious around here making more work to eliminate them. I've enjoyed all your videos and thanks for all the work to film and edit these videos.

Very nice work Phil. That bark is very cool looking. Hard to believe it stayed on. Took some great tool control to do that. I know what you mean about the concern of a scraper catching. The worst is when they are freshly sharpened. Scrapers were my main tool at working turning patterns.When you have a catch turning a 4 foot diameter part it wakes you up fast. I like your idea of making the negative rake and I really need to do that myself. I watched the this video yesterday but have been busy turning the Madrone that was given to me. I found out that you best turn it as soon as you get it. It is terrible at cracking. I am in the process of editing a video of turning some Madrone and will have it uploaded soon. Your videos are great and I am borrowing as much as I can when making mine. Keep them coming so I can learn more. Gary

Nice looking bowl Phil, ( late checking it out, been in hospital with........ no, you don’t want to know!). Anyways I eventually get to enjoy you creating another sweet piece. Kind of reminds me of a Conch Shell depending on the view angle & the bark staying on is always the icing on the cake. Look forward to seeing your next project ( from the comfort of home). Regards from the UK Geof

Beautiful once again Phil. Question for you as well. Why do my wood pieces mold only when I use Sanding Sealer? It didn't completely ruin my wood but took a lot more preparation time before using a finish.

Nice job, I think when your using your carbide cutter you would be better off with a different rest like the Robert Sorby MODULAR TOOL REST SYSTEM BOX SCRAPER PLATFORM , as the platform would give you more support to get a finer cut, I only know this , because all my tools are carbide tipped, Cheers

A wonder that the bark kept sticking to the hardwood !

Very nice project Phil! BTW what angle do you put on your negative rate scrapers?

Would love to see how you sharpen your tools and particularly how you re ground a scraper to a negative rake... did you ever make that video?

Would love to see it on funky tripod stand made of wood! Something really unusual?

Hey Phil, save your digits, make yourself an inertia sander. Captain Eddie Castelin makes kits really cheap check out his video - # 165 Self-powered Sander and more... I have three of them in different lengths and two sizes of sanding pads saves me loads of time, they are even good using oil/wax mix to sand. Stay safe

Awesome piece, could you share what hollowing tools you used ? Thank ya sir.

Often when you use a carbon tip tools you apologize. I find them very efficient. What’s wrong with these tools. I’m new to turning and watch most all your presentations and enjoy them very much

Yeah that maple especially when it gets Spalding makes the best looking turns imaginable . almost thought you going to use CA finish , especially with that crack on the side . I tried a natural Edge one time the Back came flying off ...sounded like he was a machine gun going off.... hitting my shield I know an old machinist trick , since I am a old machinist , to hold your Chuck in your Morse taper Make sure there's no scratches on the female and male parts of paper, use magnifying glass if you have to , or it will never work . if there is get 400 to 1000 grit sandpaper and get a dowel stand it off completely .... First clean it out with alcohol all denatured alcohol ..... Let it dry ..... do not blow into it with your breath , moisture make it rust ..... The trick ...... Get a piece of chalk , the type use on blackboard . put 3 to 5 lines down the male taper ....... Don't touch it with your fingers . put it back on give it a little twist and smack good it with you mallet You could buy a hundred of them it will do the same thing.... They are not ground precisely in China

Phil, what type of cloth do you use to wipe on the sanding sealer & shellac?

Use Loctite thread locker, non removable (red) to lock that taper on...Thin coat on male side. No more bobos. haha

Such a beautiful little bowl! How can I mail you something?

What do you write on the bottom of the bowl?

Be nice with Pot Pourri in it?

Well my friend another nice 👍 looking piece ,well done ,but !! two points ( not criticisms ) why do you guys on the other side of the pond never use a female type tenon on the bottom , it can be completely finished and your nova chuck would expand into it and give plenty of hold ,even on larger pieces,now secondly ,your scraper that was put to the grinder ,with flat side up the handle held higher it would be a negative rake .just a different view of things stay safe. 🦖
