😊

I'm not so sure. I've turned lots since this one and it's a learning curve every time! 😊

Agree, Cherry is a great wood! Wish I had more of it! 😊

Cool, thanks, Kathleen! 😃

Boy, that's an oldie! It has a cousin too. A matching trivet from the same piece of wood. 😊

@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I hunt for all your videos, if it has a thumbs up I know I have seen it. I will get to all of them.

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!😀

Glad you like it, Earl, thank you! 😊

Thanks, you too, Jon! 😊

Thank you, Michael! Cheers!

I'm so glad, Jean! Thank you very much! 😊

Very nice live edge. Great job.

Cool, me too, thank you! 😊

Thanks a lot, Bobby! 😊

Thank you very much, Ray! Stay safe!

Thanks, Wayne! 😊

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

Thanks, Jeff! 😄

I'm so glad, Chris, thank you! 😄

Wonderful! I've found it's easier to turn them when you work from the inside out when turning the inside. Good luck with yours Chris! 😊

Thanks, Dan! 😃

Thanks, Tina! 😊

No commercials, I hate commercials and won't subject my viewers to them. 😊

Yep, Cherry is always a good turn, Lewis! 😊

I'm really glad you like it, Donald! Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment! Phil

Interesting, Carsten! 😀

I'm pretty much going to stick to high speed steel for the most part. I just prefer it but your advice is sound. Thanks!

Glad you like it! 😊

😊

😊

So glad! Thank you, Hazel! 😊

Agreed, Jeff, Cherry is Cherry! Wish I had a lot more of it and bigger pieces, but we make do with what we've got! Thank you for watching and commenting!

😊

Thank you kindly, Catfish!

Thank you, Bobby! Cheers! 😊

Thank you so much, Tammy! I too, learned how to turn by watching KZfaq videos. Well, I had a class in 7th grade but that's been awhile, now. There is such a wealth of knowledgeable people willing to share their experience with us. I'm grateful for what I've learned and if I can pass a little of it on, well, I couldn't ask for more than that! Enjoy your lathe and yes, please include your daughter in the learning experience. She will be forever grateful for the skill. Phil

Such a nice comment, Sam, thank you! Phil

Glad you like it, Wayne, thank you for watching!

Thank you, Thomas! 😊

Thank you, Jack! I have shown sharpening in a couple of my videos but maybe I should do one on just sharpening. I use a Oneway Wolverine jig so there's really not a lot to it, very simple. Thank you for the suggestion! Phil

Wow, that's a mouthful, Mitch! 😁 Thank you very much! Phil

Thank you, NanaB, I'm really glad you like it! Phil

Oh! I'm not sure I want the big living ones splattering all over the lathe. Or, my face shield! LOL! Thanks, Edwin! Phil

So glad you are home and more comfortable, Geof! That's good news! I love cherry too, wish I had lots of it but only some small pieces, now. Take care, follow dr.'s orders and feel better!

I'm so glad, Linda, thank you!

Thank you so much, Tim! When you find that chunk of end grain I'd love to know how you get on with it in the making of your bowl. Phil

So nice of you, Rob, thank you for watching! 😊

So glad you like it, Lars! I don't think I've experienced the smell with wet cherry but it sounds like a great experience. Thank you for watching my long-named video! :) Phil

😊

Very glad you like it, William, thank you! Phil

Thank you, Kobie, for your time watching and commenting, much appreciated! Phil

Thank you very much, Stephen! As you know, the more practice the better you will get. I appreciate your comment and the time you take to watch my videos. 😊

Cherry is fun to turn, Jim. Best wishes for a great outcome on your bowl!

So glad you like it, Tish, thank you! Phil

Thank you very much, Larry! I'll keep posting as long as you keep watching! :) Phil

Thank you, Nighteagle317! Phil

I'm so glad you like this one, Carol! Cherry is one of my favorites!

Wow! This is a real day brightener for me, G71! Thank you so much for your great comment and for your subscription! I will try to be worthy. Phil

Thank you so much, Russell, I'm glad you like it!

Thank you so much, Dallas, I appreciate it! Phil

The wood and the little handle make this piece, Pamela! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

I'm glad you like it, Kevin! Yup, the handle makes this piece, no doubt. Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment! Phil

Thank you, Ian, I'm so glad you like it! Thank you for watching and taking your time to comment!

Thank you, Jennifer, I'm so glad you like it!

I don't like it-- I love it! Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your experiments as well as your experience with us.

Thank you so much, Steve!

Thank you very much, Mark! I love turning cherry!

Thank you, Tomas!

Obrigado!

There is not a doubt in my mind, David, and when you do I definitely want to see it! Thank you so much for continuing to watch and comment, much appreciated! Phil

Thank you very much, Alf, I'm really glad you like it and took your time to watch and comment! Phil

Thank you, Charles! I just sharpen the inside flat of the Forstner bit. I simply use a 400 grit diamond card and just run it back and forth until it's sharp. I haven't found it necessary to sharpen the teeth.

Thank you so much, Michael!

Thank you so much, David! Suggestions are always welcome, I have much to learn and it's suggestions like yours that help me along the path to becoming a better turner. I will try my best to implement your suggestions next time I turn an end grain piece. I do understand what you are saying, but sometimes when I'm standing there, tool in hand, I can't work it out in my mind. Old age, I guess! Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated!

Thank you, again, Chica! You have made my day! Phil

End grain isn't quite as bad as I expected it to be, Bruce. I like that there is no end grain to speak of on the sides of the bowl. I'll probably make more like that. Yeah, could make a spoon rest real easily. I actually thought of that, but thought it might look like an ashtray! LOL! Holes but no bugs in this one, thankfully. Glad the CA worked out for you. Thank you, Bruce, for continuing to watch and comment, very much appreciated!

Ha your right ...it would like a ash tray.....so Phil you would have to turn a spoon right a way and place it on the bowl so it would look so much like a ash tray LOL .....that little protrusion gives it a special character adds so much to it

Thank you, Alice! 😀 The sealer I use is Zinsser Seal Coat then I finish with Zinsser shellac. The advantage to this particular sealer is, it's thinner than shellac so penetrates the wood deeper and, it's dewaxed. That means you can put any clear coat over it. Shellac has wax in it and it's thicker than sealer so won't penetrate as deeply. Makes a great finish but not so much a sealer. Also, think of sealer as using primer before paint. It just prepares the wood to accept the paint better and, it works!

Now there is an imagination, Arturo! Now every time I look at it I will think of this!! Hahaha!

Eu gostaria que isso fosse possível!

Oh, I forgot about these. The trivet is a cut-off from this bowl. 😊

Thank you, Graham! 😊

Thank you, Nick, for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated!

Thank you, Cynthia! Phil

I'm glad you like it, Kandie, thank you! I guess it varies, I don't have a formula for it but a 1/4" is about right.

I understand, Ron. Not everyone is a fan and then you have the ladies. They seem to LOVE bug holes! Oh, well, to each their own! Thank you so much for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated! Phil

Thank you very much, Andrew! Sanding sealer seals the wood to prepare it for final finish. Sometimes it is helpful in sealing and stabilizing punky or loose grain so it can then be turned and sanded cleaner than it can without it. The brand of sanding sealer is use is Zinsser Seal Coat. It is a pre-thinned, de-waxed shellac. This is important. Some folks will just thin shellac thinking they have made a sanding sealer and then wonder why their finish won't stick to it. Shellac naturally contains wax. You can't apply a finish over wax. I've been using the Seal Coat for years and have never had a problem with any finish I have applied over it. I hope that helps! Phil

@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Thank you Phil, just for my clarity, can you use non-shellac finishes after using a shellac based sanding sealer?

@@andrewhuske4607 yes! You can use ANY clear finish for a final coat. Here is the product page for Seal Coat: www.rustoleum.com/en/product-catalog/consumer-brands/zinsser/interior-wood-finishes/sealcoat-universal-sanding-sealer

Thank you, Colleen! 😊

Thank you, Tom! I agree about the little handle, but that was designed right in there before I got my hands on it. I just left it alone! :) I did not measure the moisture content on this one. I've had the cherry for more than 30 years so I just figured it was about as dry as it was going to get! Typically, around here, wood never gets much below 10% and I don't have any qualms about turning a piece at 20%. So far, so good! Phil

Being that I've only been turning for about 1-1/2 years I don't have any real dry wood. I did find a piece of 4"x4" about a foot long that I've had since we built this house over 50 years ago!I put it on the lathe and tried to turn a long stem wine "glass" out of it.It ended up looking more like a chalice but it's dry for sure! LOL Most of what I have reads between 25%-35% on my moisture meter.The only type of wood that has cracked after a micro wave treatment is Red Oak!Been pretty lucky with the other types of wood though!

Thanks, Gary! That little handle was definitely designed right in there before I got my hands on it! I do think it makes the piece. Gary, I buy my shellac pre-mixed. I use Zinsser Seal Coat for my sanding sealer and Zinsser Shellac for the finish. Both are pre-mixed. I started using carbide tools with some bars and cutters purchased from Captain Eddie Castelin. Now that I have purchased a couple tools from Easy Wood Tools, I see a much higher quality. But man, they are expensive! They do work great, though, especially on end grain. It used to take me about the same amount of time to edit as it does to turn the piece, much like you. Now, I'm a little faster but not much. I find I'm only turning about one piece per week when I used to turn about three pieces per week before I started my channel. Looking forward to your next videos, keep'em coming! Phil

Thank you, gsilcoful! I use Zinsser brand sanding sealer. They call it Seal Coat. It's great because you can put anything over it. Phil

Very dry, Cecil.

Howdy, Adolf! As I stated in the video, this is finished with sanding sealer and shellac. No wax was applied. Phil

It sure happens, Leonard.

Is feed and wax come in a liquid form?

@@leonardbrendle7902 I guess you could say it's liquid, Leonard. It changes as you use it and as the temperature changes. A brand new bottle of it can be difficult to get any out of the spout. After you use some and shake it a little, it becomes thinner. On a really hot day, it's almost liquid.

@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop your sand &sealer,is food grade?

@@leonardbrendle7902 No and neither is the feed and wax.

This breaks my heart, Donald. I have replied to every one of your comments in some manner or another. Often with words, sometimes with a smiley. This is not the first time this has happened. I do not know why most people see my comments and some do not. There is nothing I can do about that. And, of course, you won't see this so you won't know I've said it!

I'm so glad you like this one, John! I try not to buy any wood for turning. Most of what I have been turning for the past five years was accumulated from various sources over the past 30 years or was already here on this property when we moved in. This particular piece came from a neighbor that cut down their cherry tree and gave some to me. Right place, right time! Phil

Thank you, Roger! Phil
