Phil, I rely on KZfaq “University” for learning wood turning. I used to have real-life mentors where I used to live, but for the last 10 years, I’ve been on my own. You are thorough in your YouTub videos. You are a great “instructor”. Thank you and please continue your “training”!

The 9 year old says, "Very nice," and the 7 year old wants you to turn it upside down so that it looks like a volcano! Most often I cast the videos to the TV so they can watch too. Some really catch there eyes and this is definitely one. I think it's quite amazing with some really wonderful character.

i'm really glad that you took some time to explain your process a little bit more. It's nice to have a peek behind the curtain. Lovely work as always.

Phil, because of you I now know more stuff, not that I’ll ever turn a piece of wood, but if I ever meet a live woodturner I will be able to understand his lingo. Learning never stops and I love watching you make beautiful things from log ends.😮

Well done. Enjoyed watching with our coffee in hand. We either watch from a kindle pad or on TV, so these do not have bells.We both think phone screens are too small for us to watch and not get our eyes crossed. 😂 Thanks for sharing 👍💕

Beautiful piece of oak. Great video- I like the way you talk through all of your steps and processes. Thanks Phil

Hey Phil, I watch alone of your videos, I am a long time woodworker starting into wood turning. Your channel is very informative, and you do great work…thank you

Went crosseyed watching that grain spin, but luckily I was able to rewatch it in reverse.

Mr. Anderson, Once again a top notch job. A beautiful bowl.

Great work Phill. When you were tightening the piece on the worm screw and the wood popped I thought it was you again. My heart dropped. Then realized it was the dang wood.

bark and bug holes, my kind of turning.... love it... thanks Phil...

Hello! I always look at you when I need to relax until the evening / night. I like your voice, it's relaxed and calm, also you make amazing Artwork. I wish I could buy something from you, it would be an honor. But you have protested until now. Please let me know when you feel like making a deal. I love your root bowls with rock and bark and everything else. ❤❤ But I'm just as happy just to see when you turn anything A big hug from me 👨‍🦽 😉 Carsten in Sweden

Nice work,you learn a lot just by watching.

Phil, I’m a new woodturner. You’re video was incredibly informative. Thanks so much.

Unusual, but I don't think I ever saw a end grain bowl. Great job Phil.

I really like the bowl. The rings look like a flower in the bottom of the bowl. Such a lovely bowl.

I am glad that you are always the teacher. Nice work!

Wormy white oak! Fantastic piece. I love the grain pattern of white oak. Thanks Phil.

I think that came out wonderful Phil and I love the bug Holes gives the peace a lot of character 👍👍

I have never herded of French polish before. Thank you for explaining it just for me.🤓

Hi Phil, 40 years ago when our house was built there were few codes that needed to be followed. We are into a complete house refurbishing from top to bottom, inside and out, and everything must be upgraded to meet the up-to-date codes and rules. We have an army of contractors working to create our dream house with the modern upgrades which means with the noise I can't get in my afternoon power naps. My wife Dee has agreed that we need a 14 X 24 outbuilding which will be a combination storage/man cave building. And we will deal with that after the home is finished being refurbished. Our county requires permits for almost every nail that goes into the house. You do a complete home restoration. and get rewarded with increased property taxes. The smile on Dee's face makes it all worthwhile and I get a man cave out of the deal. Yeah!!!!! Another very nice bowl!!!!!

Another awesome Phil creation . Great job Phil !

😁Thank You Phil, Thank You Dennis😁....Hard Oak, I could see smoke drilling for the woodworm screw. I love Oak, perhaps a bit of a pain fighting it's hardness but the finish piece (i think) is always worth your effort. Your Twilight Zone Oak Bowl 😵‍💫.... Love it all from beginning to end & LOVE THOSE BUG HOLES!!!. Until next time Phil..... TM

Welcome to Phil’s Twilight Zone. 😳😳😳 Great video, Phil. That is a truly beautiful bowl, my friend. Another very entertaining and informative video! I always enjoy watching you work, Phil. 👏👏👏 All the best, …..Gord

Bore da Phil, Great 101 on turning end grain bowls and the size needed for tenons. That little bowl looks fantastic and I love the natural edge rim on it. Great way to spend 28 minutes while having my morning mug of tea Phil. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

Another work of art, Phil. I love the oak grain.❤

That came out really nice, Phil! Really pretty, actually.

I like to feel the wood grain as well. Wood is good! Lovely little piece.

...love the grain and different characteristics in this piece...very well done!...👍 Matt

Your bowl has a lot of character,,, seems to have a soul of it's own, Very cool personality . I love it,.

Really nice! I am inspired to play with the really large white oak logs my father-in-law gave me last year I have not had time to do anything with.😊

I am so glad you are doing well and you have healed the arm, shoulder. The bowl is beautiful.

I like Oak nearly always get good grain patterns, nice to see end grain turning for a change too. 😁

That really turned out to be a very neat piece. There is a lot going on and lots of features that add interest.

I am so happy to see you back!!! I hope this new video means your recovery is complete. Stay safe and thank you for sharing your amazing talent with the rest of us. 🤗

Another fine piece by Phil! And I do remember Twilight Zone lol

Another beauty... I agree with you about being able to not only see, but feel the grain of the wood... and being able to laugh about the mistakes... Thanks for sharing!

From the side it looks like a big tasty pie. Another beauty Phil.

You are a great teacher. I have learned so much from you. Thank you.

It's a beauty Phil - great to see you, my weekly fix! All the best to you

French Polish! I haven't heard of that process for years. A good result, Phil.

Very natural little bowl Phill. I like it a lot. Be careful with that arm my friend. We all want you turning. 😁 Best wishes.

A really simple depth gauge is a piece of rod in the tail stock locked in position, slide the tail stock up to the Chuck and mark the bed with a felt tipped pen. Once you are turning you can keep sliding the tail stock up until you reach your mark. Nice work. Liz from Victoria, Australia.

I live in Bellingham, Wa. as I understand you live in Washington State. I enjoy your videos as a wood turner myself. Thank you

I love how you can take anything and turn it in to something awesome. I was cutting some blanks from a huge cherry burl I had and there was a piece left over. It was a knub from a branch and hollow. My Bride asked me if I could make anything out of it and I said "Not me BUT Phil Anderson could."

What a cute piece. Love the twilight zone effect. I would buy that if I saw it for sale somewhere.

Hi Phil, I really enjoyed your video on the end grained oak bowl. I especially appreciated when you explained about sheer scraping. I was not exactly sure about shear scraping or how you did it. But now I know how. I thank you very much for that. OK, have a good day. Roger.

You are such a good teacher, Phil

Love the live edge bowls and knots and bug holes just have to be part of it, looks great Phil. All the best to you. Regards Jim

Bravo for this nice little bowl, Phil. The idea is very good. Certainly it is a work of art, but without thinking of soup... this grain made me think that a beautiful and good breakfast would be nice and aesthetic in this kind of bowl: there would be mouth-watering colors and tastes that would go really well with that wood. I think I'll get started soon: simply, after the shellac finish (barely French lol), I will add a translucent food resin protection, which will allow good coffee and good milk from our local mountains, to sit in it like in a cozy armchair without soiling the wood! Thanks again Phil. patrick

Very nice piece. I've yet to turn an end grained Bowl. The Twilight Zone reference cracked me up.

Phil. Brilliant timing. After Covid i was taking a walk in the park to perk me up and someone must have gotten a chainsaw for Christmas and cut a tree into bite size logs... shame for the tree but i just couldn't believe my luck. They are now in the garage drying out... noy sure they are oak...probably Ash, but just about the right si3 and shape for an end grain exploration. So many thanks for the video. So glad you're back on form. R

Thank you, You are a very good teacher; I've watched several of your videos and have learned from them.

That's beautiful Phil and you did a great job turning it as well!!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

That is a beautiful bowl Phil, end grain rocks ☺️

Thank you, Phil. Thank you Dennis. Very enjoyable video. Can’t wait to get back in the shop again.

I have always loved white oak!

Phil, I hope that arm of yours is getting better. That was a smashing wee bowl and really nice colouring and grain. Great job

Super nice grain, love the bowl and the bark sets it off.💜💜💜

in a pinch, after i had turned a tenon and found it to be a minute too small, I recalled seeing a Turner take one or two turns of painters tape around the tenon .I had my face shield and safety glasees on and stood out of harms way..... worked Great!!!! Kept the rpm's low and very lightly went on with the work.

I don't see any faces or bugs, just a whole lot of beauty. Thank you for sharing in the creation of this wonderful bowl. 😊

A very pretty little bowl! Thanks for the video Phil!

I really like the way you keep worm holes and deformities. Beautiful as usual.

I just shifted houses and my computers are packed away. Watching on a phone. Beautiful, bug holes and all.

Thanks for taking the time to explain how you use your caliber to measure the bottom. I thought you were measuring lowest bottom part of the side if that makes sense. I didn’t realize you came through the chuck. Thanks for sharing. The bowl is beautiful. I am as you know a grain look lover. This bowl with the grain and live edge bark hits all the marks for me. Thanks for the show. Joel

Nice bowl. I that you leave the bark and the bug holes. I also like that you like to feel the grain. Ps: its great to see you back in the shop.

A beautiful piece Phil like always. I do not like turning oak. It fights me all of the way, and then it gets tired of fighting me. Then it explodes. Nice to see that your arm is better. Thank you. Hope to see you next week.

Thank you for explaining sheer scraping.

what a stunner! maybe my most favorite of all...absolutely gorgeous.

That is a lovely looking piece. Great work again Phil

HI Phil great doing an end grain bowl. beautiful.

Phil, I truly enjoy Thursday evenings. It is a pleasure to watch your turnings. Thank you.

I really like the view into the bowl with the mesmerizing grain. Nice to see that you are getting use of your arm again. Greetings from Scotland. 🌻

Nice bowl. A lot of turners hate working with oak, but it is rewarding and different. I turn quite a bit of oak. It keeps me in practice sharpening my tools!

Phyl, you are da man.

Beautiful white oak bowl Phil.

That's a nice tip to turn from the inside out on the interior of an end-grain bowl. I sometimes auger the center out with a forstner bit to make the process easier, but the next time I'm going to try to turn from the center to the outside to see if it works any better. Happy turning!

Beautiful bowl and flower in the bottom.

Beautiful! I'm not a fan of white oak, but w/ your natural edge it is sooo pretty. Nice shape. I like your comment about feeling the wood grain, I'm w/ you. (If you want glass, get a glass bowl, right!) Your good sense of humor is appreciated too ")

I like the criter marks in the wood. Thanks for sharingb the turn

Hi Phil this is a real lovely piece of wood I like the grain and the colouring in the wood. Thank you for explaining how you do things so it helps your viewers. I'm glad you kept as much of the bark as possible it really makes the bowl looks really gorgeous. You always make marvellous items and they all look fantastic and are masterpieces. Thank you for another great video it was really interesting you are an awesome person. Hope your arm gets better soon from Amanda xxxx

Nice little bowl Phil. Well done! Thx and take care.

Once again great video. I love your explanation of why you do things the way you do as well. Thanks

I like the shape of this bowl! The live edge is great.

Another beautiful bowl Great work Phil

Excellent bowl, Phil. Take care of that arm!

Yet another beautiful piece like and thanks again for all you do

Hi Phil... Great job... great looking bowl...great tips... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy

I really enjoy watching you apply the skill of your craft but what makes it more special to me is your commentary. Like you I enjoy the nature of each piece including the bug holes and tracks. I have a supply of cherry the was stored in a barn for 50 years that the bugs got to and it still makes beautiful pieces. Thanks for being you Phil.

What a beautiful piece!! Your finish is impeccable!! I wonder how many hours of sanding dont make the video ha ha. Really appreciate your work and all the tips you give. Thank you sir

Nice looking bowl Phil. I Love Oak, no matter what kind it is. I have some live Oak and red Oak. Glad to see you doing better.

As usual Phil another stunning bowl 🥣 and I love the video you all ways explain everything top man 👍

Loving bowl, to serve my sweetwst cookings💝🙏🕯

Learnt quite a few things, thank you 👍🏻

Really nice piece and makes a nice change to see some end grain turning too

Thanks on the sheer scraper tip. A beautiful bowl Phil. I agree feeling the grain in wood helps me appreciate the the beauty of the wood that tree that grew and gave itself for our joy. God Bless You Phil. Glad the arm is getting better.

The dish turned out fantastic. You explained to Dave how to use a couple of functions, fantastic that you realized his problem it warmed my heart. Love Carsten

Good to see you makin chips! Very nice bowl!

Another natural beauty. Love the way you keep nature in your turnings?

Another great video Phil- I spent the day in the wood shop with my grandson and had to share this one with him as he is starting to get more interested in woodcraft and wood turning. We have a lot of apple and cherry that we can turn similar end grain but you do such a good job of communicating both the fun of the cut as well as the learning points. Again- Thank you sir and a Merry Christmas to you from Creswell Oregon
