Beautiful Live Edge Cherry-Plum Bowl! - Wood Turning 

Really cool looking piece Phil.. great work as usual 👍

Phil that piece of wood spent many many years just growing and getting all gnarling looking waiting for the day you would turn it into something beautiful. And Beautiful it is. You brought out the best in nature on that one. As soon as the piece flew off everything changed and to the good. I was so glad when you said you was going to use shellac for the finish. That was the perfect finish to use and you did a great job getting it on. Wow what a great find Tuffy came across and what a great gift in giving it to you. That tool I made used the insert that your hollower has. I stopped the video when you were showing it on your older video and took a look at the number. It was the Ci5 I have borrowed lots of ideas from you and it has paid off. I do have a larger round insert tool though and tried it first. That is when the light came on and I recalled your hollowing tool. And thank you for the Shout Out. Take care my friend. Gary

Thank You Phil...What a fun adventure you have created !!!...Beautiful wood (i never realized)...Phil you took that Chunk of Cherry where it never expected to be taken...Nice job PHIL !!!..always look forward to your next turning...tm

Wonderful job Phil love the natural look of your art work.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Wonderful, Phil. Thank you for sharing with us.

I love that cherry plumb wood. So unique and interesting. You’re one lucky wood turner. ❤ 👍👍👍

Such a beauty and truly an art piece. It looks so tactile

This is a beautiful bowl. The structure of the bowl is cool.

Well look at that Phil doing what Phil does best........

That's beautiful. Do you not use super glue in the cracks? I don't think I've seen you use c.a. on anything but bark. Not to be nosey, but is there a particular reason that you don't?

I think it’s absolutely stunning. Definitely a work of art.

Magnificent bowl! I really like the irregular shape and natural look. The video/ audio is terrific too. Your discussion of your thought process and key decisions are very helpful for a novice like me. Big Thank You!

another great piece of art. great grain exposed. looks better without that missing piece. great choice.

Wow Phil, Tuffy you are lucky person to find such great wood, and you sent it to the perfect turner to turn it to an amazing piece of art. Take care, Mike

Id have done exactly what you did, stopped right there. Amazing job and great judgement as always Phil! Thanks for sharing :)

phil i love this video. the bowl, that doesnt hold soup, lol, is amazing .... everything about it screams ... Fan-flippin-tastic!

Stop stop stop 😱😣😊 yes you stop good job

Lucky guy Phil, having someone who sends wonderful chunks of timber. A well proportioned "art piece" yet again you skills improve. A far cry from the guy I remember turning 12 months ago. Stay safe

lovely piece phil as usual thank you

Wow what a ART PC. Beautiful, check it out Phil... Look at the side of the bowl where it's the thinest it looks like a big bird- hawk-eagle with it's wings extended . Did u see it to?? It's so neat man I just love it...love all your work Phil , keep it up brother...

When I saw that chunk fly off I was thinking about the time I was struck by a similar piece. I’m glad you escaped being tagged by it. You created a real beauty there! Bravo!!!!

Mr Phil, You have some very generous friends! The stock that Tuffy sends you is always amazing!!

Phil, I grew up on a small farm and we had a 1.5 acre fruit orchard in front with Bing Cherrie, Plum, Pear and several varieties of Apple as well as a couple of old Black Walnut trees. After many years of growing older, I returned to that little farm and found our little orchard wiped out and houses planted in their place. I often wonder how many beautiful bowls were made from those trees. I can only hope that’s what actually happened. Your Cherrie Plum bowl reminded me of our little orchard... thanks and nice work!

A beautiful bowl (or "art piece") from a beautiful piece of wood. It was a pleasure to watch you creating it!

Nice bowl! Are you using a Sharpie to write on the bottom? I use mainly shellac, and I thought the alcohol (or petroleum distillates in other finishes) would smear the ink.

As usual, you are a wood artist. It looks so simple but I know it's really tough work. And you take us to your work, ask and explain. Carsten Sweden

Beautiful Phil. I was lucky enough to turn a crotch of cherry plum some months ago and the figure was just amazing

Beautifully done.

Love hurts.....so does bark!

Feel I always enjoy what music making all sorts of bowls man I just wish that I had the towel if you have I’ve been turning for two years and I really enjoy her work

I'm always enjoying when looking your way of work an its result. Hi from France. ✋

A gorgeous gorgeous bowl Phil, what a stunning piece of wood. Thank you & Tuffy for sharing.

That bowl is absolutely beautiful, Phil. The grain is spectacular and really popped with the finish. I'm glad you listened to me when I answered both of your questions. And I watch Gary's channel. You are right - his work is great too.

Gorgeous work! Might be my new fav.

Sloppy Joes, yum! Beautiful bowl Phil. What do you do with all those great bowls?

You have just resurrected this old piece of wood. Great. Yves from France.

From ugly duckling to stunning swan amazing work phil top job 👍

Howdy Phil what a nice piece of wood... you are right.. Looks like part of it Is burl . the plum wood I have pieces of always flying off . Made 18 Oz beer mug with deer antler handle out of one of the pieces . The grain is just . Out of this world . I also made a little potpourri Bowl candle holder . I like seeing the purple in the wood . on my first turning it was still a little wet in the steam smell just like the fruit plum . very nice aroma . Think you could make something out of that small piece that flew off ? maybe put a finish on it set it next to the Bowl . That was a nice little storage for that pen made from a bolt . Us machinists get clever . back in high school , 1973 , we made pens from bolts , using the good old Bic pen . also we made cannons that could shoot , pipes you go smoke from... drove the teacher crazy . Keep on turnin' beautiful beautiful piece !

Beautiful piece. You never cease to amaze me with your craftsmanship

Wow, that is exquisite!

Great work and video stunning piece of art. Y.N.W.A.

I so appreciate the thought and care you put into each piece. It’s just stunning!

Great work, beautiful piece Phil 👍👍👍👍

That came out beautiful PhiI. I will be giving an end grain bowl a try.

Phil a madeira é muito complicada de trabalhar, mas quando você termina fica um trabalho perfeito.

very nice!! What do you do with these bowls??

Question: your round nose scraper , is it beveled on both sides, if so how do you do that.?

That's a beast of a piece 👍🏻 lovely work as always Phil

A beautiful piece! What a nice piece of wood. Stunning.

i really hope you are doing ok be glad to see you when you come back

How did the star bond do? I am thinking I might try some

Gorgeous, I love the craggy bit at the front! ❤

Why didn't you use CA cement in those cracks?

I love this piece. Beautifully done.

Great work! The live edge really looks awesome on the bowl.

Very beautiful job my friend 👍🏼

Nice secret double gift and functional

Very nice! Pity that chunk had to be sacrificed. But it 'turned' out to be for the best. Wanna try a piece of very dry, very weathered Arizona desert iron wood? Could be arranged . . . . 😉

Amazing thing of beauty Phil

Magnificent!may be my favorite!

Nice project on what a lot of people would have just used as fire wood. I would like to request that you add to your video notes the name of things you use such as the sanding sealer/shellac. Thanks. Cheers, Tom.

Gorgeous and unique 💙💙💙💙💙💙

Beautiful piece of wood Phil. Also a great piece of art. Never knew that there was Cherry Plum.

You did it again! Beautiful piece.

Nice work Phil.

Great looking bowl my friend.

interesting wood don't know what sloppy joes is but I hope you enjoyed it them ?

What a beautiful bowl Phil, thank you for sharing your creativity with us again.

As soon as I saw that crack in the tenon, I kept thinking, "put some CA and sawdust in that thing!"

Absolutely stunning!

Do u use oil when sanding

Gorgeous wood Phil!

Gorgeous! Well done!

I try woodturning ... And learning, but watching you ...... You turn like a magician, beautiful use and flow of the tools. !

I agree with ThePapa1947! Beautiful! I think that piece of wood was destined to find you! “She” knew you would turn her into something so gorgeous! Thank you for another awesome video! 💜🤗🦋 ~ Roma

Very nice Phil.

Wow! That’s a knock out! Nice job. I appreciate the commentary throughout the decision making process also. Very helpful.

Amazing piece!

Another beautiful piece, buddy! I think you stopped at the right thickness and depth. Any further would have been a huge gamble. Lovely finish too! Billy

Phil, your work is amazing.. I am guessing Edna sent you advice on this one.. I could feel her watching the entire work... great job my friend.

Spectacular Phil. Great decisions along the way, Thanks for your inspiring works.B.

Hi Phil, A very beautiful rustic looking bowl!To me it has the look of power and majesty! I always have problems with hollowing! I'm in the process of making a new hollowing tools for some new tear drop cutters I got from Wagger Potter.One tool will be a straight tool and the other will have the bent hook end. I've also got a bunch of carbide tools I made for hollowing which work OK but I'm still not satisfied with my finish cuts with them. Maybe it's the operator and not the tool(s)??? LOL I watch Gary's videos too and found out that he was a paternmaker! I'll start making the pop corn for the next video! Tom

Hi Phil, You've done it again!!! What a beautiful bowl. Cheers, Huw

Just curious about the big crack. Do you ever put CA in the crack with shavings. Then repeat the process if needed. BTW the piece is awesome.

Turned out beautiful, Phil. I always tend to fill large cracks, like that. I'm glad you didn't. It looks much better the way it is.

Wow! Just WOW! I hope I have cool wood buddies that send me great pieces like that! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Phil!

Phil my husband and I love wood and anything done with wood. This wood is absolutely stunning and amazing. He is 78 and I am 72 and I love woodturning and segmented work.

Absolutely stunning you are absolutely amazing wood Turner take Mr. Phil it’s a pleasure watching your videos god bless

WOW seriously you amaze me! What you do with a piece of wood is amazing! I love the raw natural pieces you left; it will be someone's center piece!

Made me sloppy joes an home Fry's . Thanks for the heads up on supper the bole is amazing

That is truly magnificent...the grain is stunning! I was just given 4 cherry burls and can't wait to turn them!

Beautiful

That's my favorite so far .Great looking bowl

Very nice.

Great piece. Hard chunk to work with. As always, a super job.

Truly a stunning piece! ❤

It looks like a hat with the brim turned up. Exceptionally beautiful bowl.

I have to say this pice turned out amazing, what a great natural configuration and you mastered it my friend..I get more enthused with each video of yours that I watch.. Do you sand between coats of sealer? Thanks

You are the Master and the Man, Beautiful work of Art. Amazing.

Wow
