It’s like sitting with a friend in your living room watching beautiful things come to life. Nicely done

Love it when KZfaq throws up old videos of yours that I haven’t seen. This is beautiful and I’m glad I got the chance to see it. I love turning Yew. And I love what you have don’t with this piece. ❤

I really appreciate you taking the time to talk while you are turning. I learn so much about how you do things. And this one is exceptional in my opinion. Thanks Arland

Fantastic work! Never sell yourself short Phil. Consider it a piece of art... because that's what it is!

Theres nothing ugly about this bowl. Phil you are an artist and an inspiration to this craft. The part i love best about your wood turning is you look for the beauty in Gods creation. You have taught me so very much on your videos and you make it interesting . Thank you and keep up the good work. I know im not the only one who feels this way and i just wanted you to know you are an inspiration and a great teacher to wood turners young and old

I love it!!!!!!!! It is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!! That is something I would proudly display in my home!!!!!!!!!

I went way back to watch this video. It turned out really beautifully!

Thank you, Phil! I sure appreciate the way you think out loud as you consider your options on a difficult piece. As usual your finished project is beautiful! Cheers, Pete

Don’t beat yourself up because there’s a lot of people out there including me that can’t turn as good as you do , great work !!

I learn every time I watch you.

I took a walk back in time to rewatch this one. Now that I have been turning larger pieces , I appreciate this one more. What a beautiful well earned piece . I use the outside edge of my gouge to get in there , then slowly roll the gouge toward the center as I near the bottom of the side . Thats where the long handle on the carter and son's 5/8 gouge comes in handy.

The wood is beautiful. The shape is well done. Rustic it is. You like it, I like it, that's all that counts. I am where I can't turn right now and so I'm counting on you to ease my pain. Thanks.

Phil watching you turn a piece of wood into a piece beauty is interesting.

I love that you are so honest about your turning.. I think this piece turned out amazing ! Great video with lots of good guidance along the way 👌👍

Hey Phil, sometimes function and form comes second when you look at the artistry of a piece. This is a perfect example of just that. It truly is beautiful. 😊

Great bowl. I love the “defect” (shark mouth) on the side. It gives the piece real character.

Hi, Mr. Anderson! Another stunning piece. Please thank your grandson for giving us such an interesting look into your problem solving process. I watched the hazelnut video but did not comment because I could not make up my mind about the finished product. This yew wood is so full of color and beautiful grains that I had no problem deciding even before you started turning. Sorry for the wordiness. Please continue your passion so we can all enjoy along with you!

I think it's a work of art and i think you should do more like that. All the irregularity's is what make's it unique. That's what nature is about. Thank's for sharing!

This one in particular is so breathtaking

That was dramatic, I especially enjoy listening to you talking your way through the process. I would very much like to see your shop , if you could pan the camera.

Phil, I love this bowl...The lighter section with the "eyes" seems to look like a beaver to me and the "smile" reminds me of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that my boys used to watch. Bless you for sharing your talent with us.

Phil , Just Wonderful pieces you put out for us to enjoy ! And I do very much so ! You are blessed to get ahold of such beautiful pieces of wood ! I am from Eastern North Carolina and great pieces of wood are far and few to be found ! But is a pleasure to watch you turn !

Hey Phil, beautiful bowl! Turned a hickory bowl with the same shape and yes it was a challenge especially with hickory. Thanks for sharing!

That is a beautiful bowl. It shines like a dime.

Love the big gap and all its cracks and stripey grain. Rustic character, yup. :)

I also love the denim shirt that you've kept going over the years, and people say that we Yorkshire men are tight with money...

Phil your bowl has a happy face. It is interesting, it is like you. Thank you.

Phil, you're talking nonsense..... That's a beautiful bowl.... One of my favourites.

Another stunner. Absolutely beautiful.

Yew did great. It is a gorgeous piece of wood.

really love that wavy grain on the sides. What an interesting piece!

the crack is my favourite part!...beautiful

Turned out beautiful. I like that one

I know this was done a while ago, Phil, but having just watched this video, I have to say, I love it. Cheers.

The best one u ever made, my goodness its beautiful.

i know we are behind but we really like that piece. cracking finish on it, again big thumbs up.

Lovely finish you have great patience to stick with this price of wood

Awesome!! Your simplicity, skills and the results.

That's a beautiful bowl; I really enjoy how you share your thought process in dealing with challenging situations.

Love it Phil another favorite lol

Very nice piece. I like that leave so much natural looking material in your pieces.

Looks like casper, good job, and a big smile.

Phil, I was so pleased to hear you say towards the end of the video "I like it & that's what counts" before going on to say it was important that we, the viewers liked it too. Yes, you want the viewers to like the piece but firstly, it is important that YOU, the creator, like the piece in the first instant. I think this is such an important stage for the Artist/Craftsman to like the piece. To me it has a very interesting grain which was shown up to great effect by the lovely finish applied. I like it, I think that it is a very nice piece worthy of your skills. Thanks for sharing it, Don

Phil I have turned for a few years now got into it after our son died and have did some nice stuff but watching you and papa1947 doing these pieces they are far from ugly they are beautiful pieces of God's gift art forms which would be beautiful in a house and you have made me love this type of turning I'm not as good as you but learning! Thanks so much for your channel and your way of explaining things! God Bless!

Terrific job on a rough piece of wood.

Phil, I'm going back to watch all your older post. I love this bowl and I really appreciate the way you share your thoughts and feelings as you go through the process.

super nice bowl Phil. don't beat yourself up, you did a great job. bowl has a lot o character.

Excellent Work Mr. Anderson

Phli That's ABSOLUTELY STUNNING !!!👍 Happy turning to you!

Lovely piece Phil, that crack of yours is surely the result of a close growing limb, so not a defect. Well done and keep them coming, your videos have been a sanity saver in these trying times. I am trying to go through all of your videos which l find entertaining and instructional. Keep me sans man. David

Seems like artists and genius are their worst critics. They see perfection whereas, many people see beauty. This is a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing.

I like it too. A lot goin' on there, with the grain, fissures and colours. My brother made a coffee table out of a slab, and that was the first time I'd seen the features of yew. Gnarly and nice!

Really lovely piece Phill thanks for persistence on your part 🙂

Phil, I am 81 years old and have done turning for many years. Now, I like the bowl that you have turned. Your work looks great to me.

It's rustic and unique and I love it! It would look really nice in a desert scene.

Hi Phil, I so enjoyed the piece and I really enjoy your conversation sharing your thoughts and wows. It feels like we're in the workshop watching besides you. Thanks Graham UK

This is still gorgeous!

Yew ! My favourite wood as a woodturner and the most beautiful we have in Brittany , once I had to spend two days removing iron nails from a stump before starting turning , one piece showed a bluish area because of the reaction to iron , like yours ! Yew can kill or save you : it is highly toxic , a neighbour of mine once lost 17 cows and gave me quickly the responsible tree , but it contains a stuff called taxol that can cure cancer ! Beautiful bowl , best finish ! ( I often think it is a pity to waste actually more of such precious stuff than what remains after..) thanks to you !

Beautiful piece. Something I would be proud to display. The imperfections are what made it special.

Gorgeous bit of work Phil I love the split on the side. 👍

You got there in the end Phil good job a very nice piece

Wow that finish is perfect

Beautiful, natural bowl.

Yew another of my favourite woods, well you had some difficlties to overcome there but kudos for sticking with it, quite a pleasing end result.

I love your bowl and your one heck of a turner, keep Lit

Oh my! That is amazing! I love it!

Nice bowl ,plenty of character, who wants a plain bowl when you can have one like this

I like the rustic look

That's a nice bowl, Phil. I turn a lot of yew - I was given a pile of it. It's technically a softwood but it's hard and it finishes beautifully. It's lovely wood. And yes, you won't get bugs in it. The sap is fairly toxic. Keep doing it, mate.

Exceptional is the right word Phil. Stunning. What a beautiful piece of wood. I have some yew and am waiting to pluck up the courage. Maybe I'll now give it a go. You have inspired me. It was a bit like a game of chess, I think........planning each move in advance and seeing how the piece would react. You said you don't do that type of mouth well. You do.

Delicious. Don't stop. 🥰

Love it Wish I could do that too! I have learned so much from your videos Thank you

Hi Phil only just found this my favourite wood a beautiful piece very well done

You could use this bowl for Halloween candy for the trick-or-treaters. That big ol' crack kind of looks like a jack-o-lantern-ish smile.

A challenging piece like that can only help you get better as a turner. I rather like the rustic look of it and the “sharks” mouth. Very nice job Phil!

Love the big fat bulky piece ...I think the wood is going to be what its going to be.. You just brought out its best...Thank's

It's lovely. Glad you didn't give up. Well done it has plenty of caricature.

Che bello, you are Artist , Thank you so mutch! Grazie infinite!:)

Beautiful, well done, nice piece!

I think it's really nice looking!

love that grain

Well, you got there in the end Phil! I absolutely love it!

Absolutely beautiful!

What a beautiful bowl I love the glass finish you get I try to get that every time but never as good as that unfortunately but another one to you phil👍

Wow! Nicely turned!

Absolutely stunning, love it!

I really like it! I think it looks spectacular!

That turned out awesome.

Phil this is a beautiful piece❤❤❤

What a triumph - I would buy that divine bowl in a heart beat.

Creamy, dreamy. I remain in awe of your work, Phil.

THANK YOU PHIL !!!...U R JUST PLAIN FUN...You got ME talking to my computer screen saying "use your scraper Phil"...than you started scraping...HA...The huge crack is what makes it ...I think this is one of your best...look forward to next time....tm

Beautiful!
