Phil you say that you are not artsy, but look around at all these beauties you have created. Great video. Thanks Dan.

Love how the scraper just seem to fix everything! You sure put your best into every piece you create!

That is so elegant. A perfect high end home decor piece.

Turned out very nice Phil. I just came in from my shop for a break, Since I have Fridays off it’s my entertainment to watch other turners. At 7 am was 82 degrees now at 10 it’s 90, ugg, will head back out until it hits 100+. 👍🇺🇸

Lovely Phil. Always a joy to watch. Educational, witty and relaxing. Thank you, you always make me want to get into the workshop.

This makes me think of an offering plate!

Lovely piece, lovely grain. Thank you, Phil.

Looks great, reminds me of a church collection plate.

Phil well you did it again fantastic I really love that bead you did excellent

Thank You Phil...Thank You Peter...Phil your humble style of turning is admirable. You say you do not know what you are doing BUT you always pull out a beautiful end product from ugly duckling wood. I enjoy the adventure of it all. I like how you are experimenting with new camera angles. Phil I do have ONE complaint...You only have ONE show per week !!! I look forward to next week....tm

Nice turning, the bead really set it off.

Phil, you have done it again, your intuition about the bead shoulders were right on it stands out nicely. Really a definition point for the bowl area. Your video's make me want to get back to the lathe, I've been doing a long term flat work job that is getting old and I am not even half done with it. Need to get back to turning to rekindle myself. Thanks again for inspiration.

I like the beading. Beautiful grain and dish

Boy howdy did you ever sneak up on that hard piece of work. This sure is a purty dang nice bowl. Good work Phil.

Very pretty Phil, well done. ❤ 👍👍👍

Glad you found the beading tools nice piece.

Fantastic work Phil fantastic.

Very nice results on a challenging piece. I like they way you start with an idea and let the piece tell you what it wants to be. Thats a hard lesson to learn. I also enjoy your thinking out loud, I do that even though it's only my shop dog listening.

That turned out very nice!!👍👍👍

I love it. I do some end grain turning and I always thought it was me not knowing what I was doing that made it so hard to work. Now I see that’s just the way it is. Beautiful bowl

Your patient man Phil . It came out very nice

Fantastic Phil! Great job!

Thanks Phil for this sharing. This is very beautifull. Regards

Phil NOT ABOUT THIS PIECE 0 I couldn't get at the comments section for your "I did it all wrong" video. Hoping you see this one here. Biggest thing you did wrong? Dissed yourself and the bowl. I'd be proud to have that piece - seriously. Please let me know if you are willing to part with it. GREAT video. Lots of good learning. I don't know how to send you a picture but I did a salad bowl recently of a magnificent piece of curly ambrosia maple. The wood is just breathtaking. Even after I turned the bottom paper thin in the middle. I couldn't bear to let it go without trying a repair. So I DID put a very pretty walnut insert in the bottom of the bowl. The bowl was actually a gift - hard to let go of it once I saw how beautiful it was. Everyone who has seen it thinks it's beautiful and no-one has every asked why I put that stupid walnut plug in the bottom. Very pleased to be one of your subscribers. Tom

Lovely piece

Wow! Phil does classic. Who knew? Just teasing. Bowl looks great. Sometimes dampening the wood with water will soften the fibers, making it easier to turn with less tear out. Spray bottle by the lathe works great.

Phil, you and Gary and many other wood turning KZfaqrs have become like that great Uncle that comes to visit on the weekends and teaches you some real cool stuff. Again you have turned a great bowl-dish and again you have shown me different ways to approach a project so thanks to you and all the other fab Uncles I watch intently that have improved my skills at the lathe beyond my wildest dreams

Nicely done Phil.

Beautiful as always Phil

Very nice Phil, love it!👍🏻

Phil beautiful bowl, as always great job

Well done Phil, great piece again, your artistic flair is really starting to surface. 👍🏻👍🏻😀

Well done Phill

Very nice work! Beautiful grain

Absolutely beautiful Mr. Phil 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Phil, love your video’s. They are very informative and it helps me with my turning!! And you keep the wife laughing with your comments. Thank you!!

Looks great

PHIL, GREAT JOB, GREAT VIDEO, [ LOOKS VERY VERY GOOD ]...

Phil its always a joy to watch your videos, I learn something new every time. You are the most genuine woodturner out there and this it what makes your videos so special. My warmest and sincere thanks Brian.

That end grain Birch bowl really looks nice. The bead you added gives it a touch of class. Great job! Bravo!!!

Pretty darn nice.

End grain can be so difficult at times. This wood looked very dry too. However, you pulled it off and it looks terrific. Love the bead as well. Very nice job Phil!

I love the bowl and your dialogue while working through decision points while turning. Don’t change a thing. It’s great to see/ hear you being you!

Great job my friend 👍🏼

Great job turning it!! It looks beautiful Phil Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up

Man do i look forward to your videos, i cant tell you how much you have helped me. keep up the great work Phil!

Great work lovely to watch you turn the great wood in to nice lovely buts all the best kirk

Excellent job of finding that bowl buried in the wood, Phil. I wasn't sure that you'd be able to pull it off but you made it work. Love the bead around the outside of the bowl. Glad you didn't turn away the inside of the bead. Beautiful work as always! Happy turning, .....Gord

wasn't expecting that that piece of wood to give up such a beautiful bowl , thanks Phil great job

great job phil usual thank you very much

Ok Phil, I have to tell that you are wrong... You ARE very much an artist.. You do know what you are doing.. you cannot fool your audience.. great work Phil.. Happy to call you on of my best buddies.. Keep on spinning..

Nice to watch you do your Wonders with this Hot ... endgrain wood, thanks Phil for showing an information lesson in woodturning. 👌👍. You keep giving me enthusiasm to have a go. Thank you.

Leave it in Phil it looks stunning the grain in this wood is magnificent and stunning. Wow it is awesome and amazing.

Great job 👍

Great Video 👍🏿

Great job Phil, hats off for taking on such a tough piece.👍👍👍👍

Phil! You always make things look great. Have faith in yourself. Thank you for sharing.

Oh! That turned out to be worth all the issue it was giving you, simply beautiful!

Great “bowl, platter, dish” Phil. Nice design. That bead added a lot to it. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful bowl Phil. That grain is really nice. I don't know why you think you aren't an artist because your sense of style and form is incredible. Jerry

Beautiful piece Phil!! Thanks as always for taking us along for the ride. You turn out some fantastic work and have such a great way of conveying what you are doing and why. Can't wait for the next one!!

Nicely done, buddy. Elm, maybe? End grain can be tough all right, but it is almost always beautiful! Billy

I spent this morning trying to turn swamp ash. Got very frustrated. Saw your video, and i feel much better. Thanks Phil!

Phil that wood sounded and looked harder than the Locust end grain I turned. I thought I saw sparks coming off your bowl gouge a couple of times. No wonder your hand was burning....lol But you sure turned it into a very pretty bowl. The bead really looks great on it. After seeing how 1 coat of sealer and 2 coats of shellac looked I have to say that the 1500 grit really paid off. Absolute perfect looking finish and a great shaped bowl. Well done my friend! Gary

Another very beautiful bowl Phil. Looks like a 'marbelized' finish. A wonderful stately bead elevated to distinction by a quiet groove. Thanks so much for showing your selection of tools used and the reasons. b.

What a beautiful finish and shine on this piece. I love it! You are an artist, Phil, even though you don’t think so.

Phil, as usual you took a bad situation & turned it in to something beautiful. Fine job my friend!

An excellent result to what seemed to be a very difficult turn Phil. A lovely shape, and a great finish resulting in a beautiful piece, full of character. Take care Mike

Wow Phil, that looks fantastic, I can’t believe it’s end grain. Thanks for showing. Jules, Droitwich, England

Beautiful

Way to go Phil, the bowl with bead looks really good and the finish really shins.

WOW that's beautiful Phil I love the bead and yes I agree that it's Birch wood even looks like yellow birch definitely not oak ! Nice piece Phil !!! Happy wood turnings to you and all !👍if you are on messager I have a great story for you when I was 18 give me a shout back it's funny and if you want to post it that's fine with me it involves me turning a 6 foot piece on my grandfather's lathe on the outboard side!

What a way to start my day, another superb piece Phil. Your skill never ceases to amaze me. I look at your videos and consider them my lessons for the day. Great finish. Thanks for sharing..J

That is impressive! I wouldn’t even dream you could get away with that thin in end grain!

That is really beautiful...the grain is so gorgeous!

Sometimes I feel like the words beautiful, or awesome, or gorgeous etc. seem over used, but how else do you convey how wonderful a piece of turned art is? I really, really like this bowl. Simple yet very lovely! 💗 (Even if it wasn’t simple to turn.) The more I look at it, the more I like it! BTW, you forgot the “Ki Yay!” at the end of your “Yippee” for sanding! 😂😂 🤠 🤠🐴🐴🦟 (P.S. Home Sweet Home) 😉 Very Big Virtual 🤗🤗🤗 to you! 💫💜 ~ Me

I like it! Good job!

Super job Phil beautiful end grain bowl. End grain is a hard turn, I just finished an end grain oak lidded box. It was a fight to hollow out, thanks for sharing.

Hi Phil, That is beautiful. I have a piece of Eucalyptus I'm currently turning. The grain looks very similar but the checking is far greater on my piece. I'll be filling the checks with 2 part epoxy glue and coffee grounds as they are quite deep and about 3/16" wide. Cheers, Huw

HI Phil. JUst watched you making he birtch bow. Good job. Always learning something. Cant wait till next week.

Phil, this is so pretty! Once again, you made my Thursday!

Beautiful bowl, Phil. I guess you didn't hear me saying to leave it (the inside of the bead). I just wasn't yelling loud enough. Even though you don't know where you're going with a piece, the end result is always great.

Looks great Phil, you could tell by the sound of that wood when you were turning it, it was hard! Thanks Phil!

it looks like birch or maple very beautiful piece shape is never an accident. I know this from carving wood just when I think I am going to carve a one shape it turns out to be something else. I enjoy carving and have come to the place where I just pick up a piece of wood and start to whittle away at it and sure enough it it not very long and it starts to take shape.

Came out really nice. Love the grain.

Lovely colour and grain Phil. Great finish as well. Love the bead. Well done mate 10 out of 10.

One thing for sure Phil whatever it is ( reminds me of white Oak), the finished bowl/dish is a really nice piece & would look great displayed vertically on a wooden dresser. The bead is just the right amount of detail (imho), very handsome 👍🏻. Enjoy your weekend and catch you next time. All the best from the U.K. Geof

Including one "Ooops!" it is excellent bowl. Very good finished and with style 👌

Love the color, looks great.

Howdy Phil Looks like white oak to me ....Birch is light in color like maple and softer than oak... . at less in my part of the world . could you smell anything when turning ? Does look so nice Phil ...nice platter what ever type of wood . Very nice grain . End grain is harder then straight gain to turn and very dusty too . Still like working with it ....I have a bunch of oak to turn when dry ...all end grain . very nice piece Phil ..... like that beed keep on turnin'

Hi Phil, Again you managed to produce a beautiful piece, the shape of that bowl/dish is very pretty. Take care and keep turning! Best regards Lars

Another masterpiece.

Very pretty

Yeah carbide! Saves the day

Glad you kept the Groove, Looks terrific . Only Complaint, should have put Bead on Edge also. I think you should do some End grain work, maybe a salad set.

Fantastic grain on the piece Phil, it turned out very well and it looked a tough piece on the gouges. I also didn't know they made that sort of faceplate so I will keep an eye out next time I go shopping for tools 😉👍

I was yelling leave it! 🤣👍

Beautiful, Reminds me of a church collection plate that they passed around for tithes and donations.

Well Phil you sure fought your way through this project. Good thing your as stubborn as the piece of wood your working with. But all seriousness you did a great job. 👍

Very nice job i am hurry to be good like you m. Anderson
