The finish is beautiful. I love the shape and simple elegance. Nice Phil!

Hello Phil. Lar from 🇨🇦. Glad i stopped by today to watch you turn this BEAUTIFUL bowl. I really like how the finish turned out. Just a very nice shine and the bark looks very nice as well. As usual, another educational and entertaining video. Thanks for all you do for your fans.

I was waiting to watch this one and it was well worth waiting. Very exciting turn. You have some great friends who send just a wide variety of pieces to turn. I wish I had your visualization. Excellent piece, thanks for sharing

we know its there somewhere, your sense or humor is awsome

Really good looking bowl, Holly is so hard. Beautiful creamy piece. Thanks

Excellent piece of workmanship. Lot to learn from this video

That is an amazing little beauty! Love love love the shine!

That’s a nice piece of holly. Stunning piece.

Wonderful bowl,awesome finish like glass. 👍👍👍👍

Lovely bowl...the holly is just gorgeous!

Nice job Phil! It's a beauty. My favorite of your projects so far.

Nice job Phil. Been watch for a while now. Your an inspirational guy.

That's really cute ❤️ nice wood! Light like maple 🍁

Good lesson. Beautiful turning. Thank you.

You make me so jealous sometimes. Lol I have been turning now for about two months, everyday. I'm in love. I have made two 55 gal garbage cans of sawdust. 😅 not much else😢😢 haha you make it look so easy, thank you for you tutelage and expertise in your turning. I'm 72 and wanted to do this all my life. But have been too busy in life to do it. Ha. I have made a few mushrooms and candel holders but as of yet unable to successfully make a bowl 🥣. They still seem to be still be just out of my reach. I continue to blow out the sides. ( In a terrible way)😢 lol keep up your wonderful work, you inspire me. Respectfully Lary

Beautiful!! You won't believe what happened to me this week, my neighbor cut down his holly tree and he saved me 8 pieces. I Anchor sealed it because it is literally dripping sap but after watching you video I can hardly wait until next year to turn some of it all the pieces I have are very similar to what you just turned. But it gets better I had another neighbor cut his avocado tree down and have 4 pieces of that for next year - great video thank you for sharing!!

Great shape and beautiful finish!!! 👍🤙

Very nice smooth buttery finish. Nice shape.

really nice bowl!it never occurred to me that holly would be such a nice wood to work with

A very beautiful piece Phil

Hi Phil still playing catch-up really love this bowl. The grain so light and shiny.

Hi Phil, ANOTHER learning experience. I am starting work on live edge and nature bark. SOOOOOO much to learn. Your videos seem like I'm standing right beside you. Your candor and humility make the whole experience a real treat. Thanks.

Wow, absolutely wounderful piece.

You had me hollering at you on this one. "Be so careful! Be so careful!" Such fun! It came out beautifully! It is wonderful to join you in your workshop. Thank you!

A real beauty Phil.

Great job, very nice grain etc. Lovely piece.

That’s just delicious Phil. What a lovely wood

Great piece Phil,amazing job as usual

Wow Phil this Holly bowl is breathtakingly stunning and the grain is awesome. I love the live edge it looks like you put a copper ring around the edge. Just magnificent.

As always when I send you a piece of wood and then have the wonderful opportunity to not only watch you turn it, but also get to hear (and this is more important to me) *why* you turned it a particular shape, I have to say: Thank YOU, sir! for giving back so freely! I can't help but send you more! (and I shall! oh, yes, I truly shall. still down-sizing frantically!) By the way, this holly tree's trunk is another close-to-home find that has it's own story. Would be happy to share that story should anyone be interested.

Beautiful work of art.

Another awesome piece Phil

Very nice piece Phil great shape 👍

I have to admit that I don't get as excited by live edge bowls as much as I used to Phil, but this bowl really grabbed my attention. Wonderful work!

I just love it Phil

Thank You Phil...I like the closer camera work, I even jumped at about 5:15. Also like rolling the top over, gives it a softer look. And NO Phil YOU are NOT a "big stupid"!!! You are a skilled expert showing US dummies how a pro turns!!!!!!...Your 5/8" bowl gouge looks shorter. Guess that sharpening has taken it toll. Excellent show today Phil, I really enjoyed it...Thank You Calmwood Creations ...tm.

Phil, this is gorgeous!

Once again Phil you released a beautiful creation from a not so beautiful hunk of wood. Beautiful beautiful.

Nice work Phil !

Great piece Phil 👍👍👍👍

Nice turning Phil... Sharp tools and that wood sounds like butter.. . Verry relaxing.. Have you ever watched Bob Ross paint any of his oil base paintings? The Joy of painting. You n he have lots in common. I love to watch both of you. And can be put to sleep by both of your working's... Keep up the good work. Love the finish...

Beautiful Phil real nice finish!

I like the emphasis on using a tail stock for safety even when you may not need it, also I like when Phil mentions the lathe speeds it is truly helpful.

Mebbe a new fave!

Pretty bowl and nice work. Really nice finish. I've done some turning using holly before. It's a pretty wood and is fine grained and can have some pretty colors too; you don't see it used much though. You did a great job with the live edge as always.

Howdy Phil That a nice piece ...so smooth .... I never turned Holly ....You say it is pretty hard .... I thought sure it was going vibrate a lot when you used that number 2 inside tool , I have been planning on making a set of those tools ....but to many other things I am doing ....making a sled for the table saw . I kept on looking at how smooooooth it is ....impressive....good job....so nice keep on turnin'

Old! What u talking about Phil? Do u see what u accomplished? Beautiful bowl, and u did get into that corner, shakey hands & all. Showed them young fellows something. So old is just a word. That is one beautiful bowl. Love the finish. Smooth as a babies behind. Thanks for sharing with us!!!

Nice bowl. Am I the only person that enjoys hearing the chatter grim turning at high speed playback? It's like therapy to me. I would've like to hear that for this bowl.

Nice bol m.anderson very nice project

Hi Phil, Again it's a treat to see you perform your Magic with all kinds of wood, thank you.! 👌

Another fantastic looking piece Phil you shakey old guys put most of us to shame .....

Krásna misa a super 👌 video.

That is gorgeous!! 🤘🏻

Nice bowl! I like the shape. Holly doesn't have much grain, but it finishes so beautifully to a mirror shine, so it is great when you want to focus more on form than flash. I've really enjoyed turning it, but unless you have connections to an urban arborist (or people who send you wood in the mail!) it's impossible to find. Thanks to Dave and Tuffy and the others who keep you supplied so you can spend your time making great videos instead of hunting down wood.

Love it love it love it❤

Howdy from Spain!

One gorgeous Holly Live Edge Bowl Phil , love the video a big Thanks

thank you very nice the finish is awesome

I wish more u tube turner’s would explain and share what tools they are using when filming a demo as you do, I love watching and learning from your videos thanks for shearing

Just beautiful

Gorgeous!

That is a great looking bowl

Now I know what to do with all the holly I have in my shed. Looks really nice turned, great Job Phil.

I have to keep looking up all the beautiful trees you have in your part of the world, like this lovely Holly piece, because they make for such beautiful woodturning pieces, particularly in the hands of an expert, & don't say you are not one of them Phil because I'm here to tell you You Are! Phil, the shape you decided on seems to me to be 'spot on', but we all expect that from you, the Papa & a few others I watch. The finish looks perfect as does the live edge. Keep them coming mate.

Wow Phil, I think I now know where I went wrong on a similar shaped piece. Well done Dave for sharing such a nice piece of holly with Phil and us. Take care, Mike.

The woodgrain and finish on that piece of Holly is incredible. You've brought out that woods inner beauty. Great job.

Holly Cow Phil that is one great piece of wood. The shape is really nice. Having it curve back in at the top really gave the perfect look with the live edge. That is a stunning design! And the finish you sure put the shellac on nicely. You got me laughing with the "Don't just jam it in there you big stupid" Another fantastic turning from Dave's stash of wood. Thanks Dave for sending that. Gary

Congratulations on turning a Holly bowl. I only tried once and it disintegrated beforre could complete it, I had taken two pieces into the Craft Centre Alan the owner had one on one lathe and I had the other on the other lathe, Alan was a very good wood turner and finished his bowl, I was still working away when it blew up, the one and only time it happened to me. Holly is a beautiful creamy colour and looks good turned but after that I gave up on the idea of being a full time wood turner, realised I just wasnt proficient enough.

Beautiful finish on that Phil. Love the shape of it too. Sanding these shapes is tough. But I've got an idea running around in my head, that I think will make sanding these natural edge bowls much easier. Once I put it together, I'll let everyone in on it. Mark

Great bowl, Phil. Just tried a few, but none nearly as nice as this!!!

Kind a liken the Holly Phil ...Man you always seem to make me smile...Thank's for that

Very nice wood, good job 👍🏼

Nice bowl Phil Take care Rob

Very nice piece.

Another very fine turning Phil. A real beauty. Thanks for showing it.

Oh my gosh Phil!! Your monologue was killing me. Ya big stupid? Lmao! Old and shaky, but not, well maybe? Love your video man. Killer bowl. " The Old, Big Stupid shaky bowl. Awesome stuff!

Nice job Phil

This one is lovely...the underside looks like glass ❤ Just another piece of yours to covet!

Here's the rest of the story : Early spring of '16 I was recuperating from a miserable bout with pneumonia and wasn't getting around very well. One morning I heard chainsaws in the neighborhood so got dressed and hobbled down to the corner, then to the other corner lot to see what was happening. There was a tree removal crew just beginning to fell the beautiful dogwood in the side yard. I chatted up one of the guys about chances of getting some dogwood! He called his boss over who said, "Sure! How much do you want and how will you cart it away? Oh, and do you want any of the holly in the back?" The dogwood trunk was about 9" diam., the holly was nearly 14" with two big crown crotches, one above the other. BIG! TALL! WOW! Cutting it short: I went home and got the pickup, parked it at the curb where the crew boss directed and went home to get breakfast and coffee. Boss man rang the doorbell and said, "All done! Come and get it!" The bed of my Nissan Frontier was FULL! of rounds about 16" long. The piece I sent Phil was a section of a branch above the top crotch. What a haul! Took me less than a minute to walk from home to where the trees were felled! How cool is that? Oh, yeah-- I wore out my electric chainsaw on that pile and had to purchase a new one, gas-powered Stihl. I've only got a couple pieces left. You did that one proud!

The finish looks like glass. Another beautiful bowl.

I think you were right when you said the blank was too thick. If you made that any deeper it would have ended up being a ton of hand sanding! Beautiful piece Phil

Great job Phil, the results are beautiful! Now I have to put Holly on my wish list. Thanks for your great videos.

I cut some holly this spring to make Christmas decorations, but it all split horribly. It is great to see what a good piece of holly can be turned into. Beautiful bowl.

Thank you Phil. Another beautiful lesson which is really appreciated. 👍👍🙂

Absolutely beautiful, Phil. You've done it again.

Phil, that holly bowl is stunning! Beautiful design and finish. Thanks for another great video!

This piece is actually very striking! I've watched tons of turning from various Craftsmen and do a little turning myself when I make the time. I am really very taken by this project. Bravo!

This was easy for a pro turner. This is a really beautiful bowl. Love the color and the live edge is perfect. May the Force be with you.

Beautiful creation there. Truly exquisite. Wow!

Phil, What a beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing your talents.

Phil, as a first time watcher of your videos, I’m impressed with your live edge bowl. Nice work

Just a GREAT work and a Beautiful bowl

One of your best Phil, loved the shape and finish. Regards Mike.

Wow stunning finish you’ve achieved, beautiful bowl Phil. Always great to watch and learn from you. Regards Jules, Droitwich, England
