Is he going to keep the stick, or isn't he? When will the rocks pop out! AAARRRGH! This root ball stuff is not for sissies! Let those folks with their resin pours just waltz on by.

Turning root material is always an adventure into the unknown. I would assume the square stick was a stake used to hold the seedling straight in it’s infancy. And we all just know that roots will hold rocks. All things being equal, I wonder what you may have been able to do with it if you dig that last rock out of it. It may have been so deep that you lost the whole thing. Then again it may have allowed for something extra special. Doesn’t matter though. You have a special piece as is. Beautiful!

Wow Phil that was a lot of work. But it was fun watching and it turned out great. Now I am not sure what I should thank you for. I have a Camellia root ball waiting in line to be turned. So do I thank you for reminding me it is time or should I thank you for when I put it on the firepit in the backyard LOL. I brought it into the shop 2 months ago and took pictures then I moved it back out to the shed because it did not look like fun. But know you showed me it will be worth it. Maybe when it warms up...I was in the shop taking doing something yesterday and it was 23 degrees. Thats too cold for this old guy. I wonder if that stick was put in the ground to hold the plant up and then it grew around it? Nice work on the Manzanita...and inspiring me to get going on my rock filled Camellia!

I got some manzanita burl from the Carr fire down in Redding CA a few years ago. Some of it was burned also. It was nice turning that burl, actually, but dangerous. Between the rocks, cracks, and a couple of pieces of root twig, I felt my life was on the line at every rotation. When I hollowed the few I turned, I taped them up from the outside in order to keep they from blowing up. On a trip south one day, I met a park ranger in that area who lost her house in that Carr fire. I was proud to ask for her address so I could send her a vessel made from scorched manzanita from that fire. I called it, “From Ashes to Beauty.” Well done Sit Phil!

Well I was wrong, he had, after all, sent it to Phil, about the only guy who would have accepted the challenge without filling it with resin at the very least. What you have produced out of this 'ugly chunk of wood' is a masterpiece, a colossal WORK OF ART. There is no other way to describe it because no matter which way you look at it there is something to capture your attention then urge you on to look for more.

Phil, you turned that into a masterpiece. I’ve been watching your videos for quite awhile now. You’ve inspired me to tackle pieces like this one. I have a piece of Apple a friend gave me last summer. I still haven’t figured out how I’m going to attack it yet. It’s not quite as crazy looking as yours but it’s close. I think I’ll use carbide but it’s going to be a rough ride.

I love how you tell us your thoughts as you progress through the piece. It’s entertaining and helpful to me for when I encounter similar situations. Thanks

Beautiful as ever, Phil. I think it should be spelled root bawl for this one. Lots of BS&T put into this one. That wasn't a rock, BTW. It's a desharpening stone. I got a #1 for Christmas. Trying mine out soon.

This is just a famous piece I love the rocks especially the little one inside. Your work is always interesting because of your attitude toward the wood. I feel like you're putting the nature/spirit of the wood front and center instead of displaying your expertise. That's true artistry!

You are exactly right, Myrna, thank you! 😊

I really like this piece. I really like the battle marks and the rock but what really brings out the beauty of this work was your effort to show how any piece of wood or manzanita can turn into. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! This is the third time watching this video. Talk about beauty from ashes. I was reading about Manzanita wood from fires last summer. This wood is rich and elegant and a wonderful talking piece. I saw someone using a similar turning as a dough bowl. This is a winner!

There's gotta be a name for all the surprises you find in the blanks. I turned a black walnut that sat in a antique store for 40 years. It was harder than Japanese arithmetic, no lie. Lost a quarter inch of steel until my girl got me some carbide tipped tools.

Battle scars will put explanation. I know you said it was a pain, but that wood really is pretty. I put it as a center piece on my table that a problem. You take on some crazy projects and this was one of them. It was a total mess Before you started. Even though I’m down here in Texas, one day, I hope to be able to con you in to sending me one of your projects. I like all sorts of wood crafts, and yours is extra special simply because you haven’t added a bunch other crap to it. You have kept his natural as possible. Thank you Mr. Phil.
