Woodturning Cherry Plum 

Cherry Plum and Phil are quite the combination, always turn out great.

I love that cherry plum, beautiful wood. Excellent turning. ❤👍👍👍

I think this is the best looking bark I have seen. I know you love turning this type of wood, and we love seeing you do it.

Beautiful Phil that’s why I watch your channel that cherry 🍒 plum shows the grain really well. Can’t wait till your next video thank you!!!

Ooh that's a REAL beauty Phil 🥰🤩... the grain in the wood is absolutely gorgeous and of course you have turned it to perfection... a masterpiece for sure. I'm positive it made up for the fact that you weren't going out dancing 😉... thanks for sharing the adventure as always

I really like the pieces you turn. Beautifully done.

Wow, Cherry is such a lovely looking wood. You worked your magic once again. Thanks for showing. Stay Safe, Jules, Droitwich, England.

Cherry Plum certainly shows the grain up.LOVE NATURAL EDGE BOWLS.Stay Safe.Ray Flynn .Orange N S W Australia

Great design, the live edge and bark make a very fine finish.

Phil it is absolutely stunningly beautiful and magnificent wow.

Absolutely beautiful piece love the live edge great choice of wood Another Well Done piece of art Great Job Phil

Great turn Phil. Always enjoy watching your creations unfold. I have an old heirloom Cherry willow tree in the yard that is a year from being taken down. It base is 8 ft tall by 22 to 26 inches across. I accidentally took down one of the 2 trunks this past spring. Roughly 16 feet long by 10 inches plus. I slabbed one section of that and made a live edge shelf that I installed last week. The main base has over 30 burls on it. I'm gearing up with new chisels and Chuck's etc.. to have some lathe fun. Your videos are spurring me to get my garage/ shed rebuilt so I have a 4 season work space. Look forward to your next turn.

You are a magician with the turnings. Love your channel.

Definitely a keeper, 'Uncle' Phil 👍

Raiders of the lost bark 😎👍 beautiful result

Another lovely piece bark and grain outstanding Phil 👍

Beautiful phil..I love the large amount of bark

Gorgeous grain! 💕

Hi Phil, That is a very very nice little bowl. The finish is certainly shiny. Take care Phil. Cheers, Huw

Woooow what a stunner phill ya a pro mate lovely work 👍kirk

Phil I think you are a large part magician. Never thought it would be so nice! But I should know better.

Another great piece! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Phil

Howdy Phil I always like watching you turn Plum ...... I have been using Ack's for about a year ....I like it so much .....some of the bowls I have turn and then applied Ack's people do not believe it is wood ! .....So smooth and shiny ....My wife just got out some old brass candle holders and I put them on the lathe and use Acks to clean them , did not take long at all and they now look like gold ! I have got some on bark ....no problem just use a acid brush and comes off easy , it more or less spreads it around a little . Such a beautiful piece ..... keep on turnin' If a tree could talk .....

Hi Phil... most people's bark is worse than their bite .. but your bark is always beautiful... the figure in the wood is so warm and pretty.... great job and video...take care...All the best.....Andy

Not sure what I like most. The bark that has a rugged but beautiful look. Or the perfectly finished wood surrounded by the bark. I guess it is a package deal. And I like it! Take care my friend... Gary

Breathtaking piece. I love the saw cuts and the natural edge. See ya in the next one Phil.

Hello Phil It Good To See You Great Job on the Cherry plum Bowl Have A Great Weekend My Friend. It My 35th Birthday This Coming Monday 3rd August

Another lovely piece, Phil! Gorgeous. Billy

HI Phil beautiful piece. weldone.

Beautiful, thanks for sharing,

Very cool little piece ...Thank's Phil

The polishing paste put a deep gloss on the wood without making it look all plasticky and flash - without putting such a glare on it that you can't see the grain. Great stuff. It's a lovely bowl. Thank you very much indeed for sharing and see you soon.

Turned out really nice Phil, keep safe

Just Wow 🤩

Super cool Phil

i love such pieces with bark on !nice job phil!!!grtings from belgium!

Amazing piece, your design showcases the beautiful grain, tones and bark so well I enjoyed your video, thank you for sharing

The early bird catches the worm, Good Morning. King of the Unusual. Beautiful. I wish I could send you pieces of our local wood.

Another great job only this I did not think would turn out so great because of the two squared off ends, but i was wrong... Just beautiful

I love it! It's absolutely gorgeous!😁👍💕

I tend to use a toothbrush to remove wax from the bark and cracks. Nice bowl.

Yet another beautiful example of your work, the contrast between the outer bark and the grain filled interior is outstanding. One thing you may be able to help me with. Whenever I try to use sanding sealer applying it with a paper towel as you use, my paper towel disintegrates and I get tiny white pieces sticking all over the piece. I then have to wash off with meths and start over using cloth. Bless you Phil.

Looks awesome!

And one more piece of Art. Love that natural edge.

Gosh Phil, does Tuffy have access to a limitless supply of Cherry Plum wood? This looked to be an odd shape when we first viewed it but that is never going to stop you weaving your magic. I love it when I hear you say that you have no idea what shape you are going to try for. It means that you are going to be guided largely by what the wood 'has to say' about it. As we listen to your thought patterns as you seem to communicate with the wood seeking what it wants to say about proceedings & the result is another masterpiece. As always with this Cherry the grain & bark are spectacular as the bowl flows from your hands. I have, once again to watch this video a number of times & NEVER get bored. Shape is excellent AS is the finish applied as you are always looking for the best finish for every project. Keep safe & well my friend & keep the videos rolling. Don from South Aust.

Beautiful

You are an artist allowing the wood to express itself. I am in awe of wood turners because of your talents. Keep up the amazing work 💪

Beautiful piece Phil. Sometimes I like to think that something I've turned will be appreciated a hundred years from now by my great great grandchildren. Sort of a connection to the future. Thanks for another enjoyable video.

Beautiful ❤️

Wow, that's a really beautiful piece! Good work, sir!

HI PHil. Great job again. I have never seen you do a bad one yet. FInish turned out well. I am going to see if i can find any piexes like that. have a good one.

Very beautiful!

Phil use a larger forester for the top so you can have room for your chuck, your going to be removing that wood anyway for the bowl, I love your work.

Sweet. Love it.

Love it !

A unique and beautiful piece Phil! I gotta get me a sand-o-flex. Love the way the bark comes out when you use it. Gil

Really a gorgeous piece! Ack's is such a great product!

Phil another stunner for your books I love that cherry plum

Fantastic little piece! Just perfect to sit on the tv, side table or shelf to hold your keys and small change. I love that you left the saw marks. Thank you for sharing.

Great looking piece Phil! Cheers, Paige C.

Nicely done yet again Phil. Thank you to Tuffy. Try to convince him to move to the Baltimore Area, Phil. Just for a little while.

Beautiful! I make my own sanding paste and oil/wax finish as well

Cherry plum is that a small plum fruit. That's a real nice bowl Phil

Winsome and beautiful. Makes me happy to see. And a masterpiece as Greg Alexander wrote Now I understand why you do not use wax more often. Carsten Sweden

Beautiful buddy 😁

great

That’s a stunning piece Phil. Like that a lot.

Another masterpiece, Phil! When you were holding it up in its tree orientation it reminded me of an owl. Love the piece. Thanks!

That's beautiful, Phil. The grain is so amazing that it almost looks artificial. Take care. Bill

Phil, you really found a beauty in this piece! The bark and grain is such a wonderful contrast and the grit and polish seems to do the trick for the added luster inside. Bravo!!!

Hi Phil, niece piece as usual. I’ve used both of the Acks products for a couple of years and really like the finish I get from doing so. Of course my pieces are a lot tamer than you normal Phil-wood. Even when I do natural edge/bark on (if it stays until the end😁) I’ve used it. If it gets on the bark, a natural bristle paint brush, cut to about 2” bristle length, works great to work it out without messing up anything. Thanks for another good video. Stay safe and well so you can keep them coming. Cheers, Tom

Beauty! Very lovely, Phil! It looks like it would be nice to touch, and feel the different textures. (Well, that’s me and trees. I just seem to know.) When I started watching this video, Edna popped in my head. It was like a memory of sorts. Nothing bad, it was like she was watching too. Strange. Also, another odd thought during this. Where did “Shady Acres” come from? I know, I’m weird. I hear it all the time. Take care, and I hope you and your cat stay healthy. 😷 “See” you next week! V🤗💋 🍀🍹✨~ Roma

Beautiful piece Phil, love the grain and the bark. Don't think I've ever had a cherry plum.

Hey Phil, your bark is showing! Hehe, lots of bark on this one an it’s gorgeous. Wow, that Acks really put a beautiful shiney finish to it. Nice job my friend!

I’ve been using Ack’s products for about a year. I really like the finish it gives!

Nice one again, Phil. Love Ack’s, but understand your reluctance due to all the cracks and crevices.

It's beautiful! That's one that might have made a neat off-center turn?

This is an odd one for me. I really like the grain so much in this that I prefer the bottom to the top. It's one of those rare times when I actually wanted you to remove the bark. That almost never happens.

Hi Phil. If I send a work of art to you, can you show it in galleries in America?

Hi Phil. Nice job. I picked up my first piece of plum today. I’m looking forward to turning it. Thank you for the inspiration. I’m having trouble getting a Sandoflex here in Australia. Do ya have any ideas where I could order one from in the US please?

Thank You Phil....Cherry Plum, even spalted has such a warm golden/cherry color (but than I am slight red, green color blind, ugh). Phil you have always said that you are not artistic. I feel an artist knows how to approach and work a project. An artist, I feel, also knows when enough is enough, when to stop. I would have to say Phil you are 2 for 2. Guess who the artist is ???..(starts with a P & rhymes with skill)...HA, TM

Beautiful! What do you do with all your bowls once you are done?

Another lovely little piece! Do you buy a bunch of those little acid brushes Phil, or wash them out? Rgds Mike

What did you think of the Acks products?

Been awhile but I see you're still doing excellent work !!

Hi Phil, that looks amazing! love the bark and the grain!

Another piece of Tuffy's tremendous timber, turned to a treat for the eye. Nice one Phil, god bless stay safe. Tony
