Flawless Holly! - Wood Turning

I've had this piece for awhile. Never quite knew how to approach it due to it's oddly cut shape. Then I figured, what the heck, turn it as is! So, I did! The bowl turned out to be flawless. Holly is kind of a plain grained wood, no color, little figure. But, it finishes great and feels so comfortable while holding it. I really like it!
Finished in shellac.

It looks like a little boat floating in the ocean of time.

I like the flat ends. And the coloring. The bark makes it stand out. Perfect looking wood. Love it.

🙋‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Hi Phil I must say Holly is a beautiful lady. But it's you that brings her beauty out. I love it. Thanks Phil for another great creation.

I like that smooth, inside curve. The "worn effect" on the bark edge is especially nice to my eye. The wood is very pretty even though it doesn't have flashy grain. I'd be proud of a turning like this.

It’s a banana boat! Awesome turning Phil!!!

The only thing wrong with this piece of art...NO M&Ms.
Great choice of keeping square edges, it gave a very needy piece of wood a wonderful life.
Be healthy my friend.

It's good that you do what you feel is right, if people hate your design they can look at something else.
Love the piece.

[shawnsmead]

Thanks for being a rebel and leaving the flat sides. Sometimes the piece just needs to different. Great piece!

[susannahHim]

Love that bottom “flaw” mark! It makes the bowl that much more interesting!

[dougspencer]

I love the square look, it's different. Good job Phil.👍👍👍👍👍

[stevelancour]

Love it Phil.
I like the fact that you talk throughout the whole video. You explain what and why you are doing, and the materials you use for your awesome finishes. Thanks Bud!

Revamped my lathe sanding dust collection the other day. Had been using only a shop vac hose (2 1/4”) thru a dust port on a 4” system. It was inadequate in sucking the dust. So kept that port and added a new 4” port. Boy, what a difference. It quadrupled the amount of actual and residual dust. So thank you for the inspiration. The Holly bowl is spectacular!

The bottom looks so beautiful that you almost would want to display it upside down!!!!

[michaelhofer]

Fill that gorgeous bowl with M & M’s and it would be perfect!

[tcgrier]

Awesome! We love it! My wife says it looks like a fairy boat! Thanks for sharing! Please keep it up!

[allegg]

Smooth as a baby's bottom. Thank you I enjoy hearing you after you finish a piece.

[ElfDef]

I think this one is my favorite. The bottom looked almost like a pillow.

God knew what he was doing when he made wood!!

[jacquejecker]

YEP, ya just never know what the wood is going to give you until you get inside of it. Beautiful bowl.
