Some thing
« on: June 15, 2010, 03:19:31 am »
Different, this a pic of a piece of woodturning I did 3 years ago, I learned how it was done at demonstration day, it is a hollow form vessel made from maple and the lid is of jarrah, it is square and has 4 wings, note 3 wings are up and the 4th is turned down, any ideas how was turned,

Unique is the best discription.  I'm not a turner but would love to know how it was done.  Great job!

Happy Scrolling

Very nice to see something that is not totally rounded out.  I cannot wait till someone teaches me to turn.

If you turned it over it could be a top with three wings down, one wing up.
LOL.   ::)  ::)  ::)
Nice work, looks really good.

Hey Jimbo are you sure it didn't grow that way LOL,  I have some wood that looks cupped and bowed, but not as nice looking as that piece you have. So when are you going to tell us how you did it?

Why dosn't some one guess, I told one person when he asked how it was done, said I oiled the wings untill they were soft and bent them with a pair of pliars!! what do you think?

OK Jimbo I'll take a guess, I never used a lathe before, so not sure of any tricks on them.All I know is you put wood on one end and it turns and use a tool to shape it. So my guess is, is it possible to make one side then take it off and put the opposite side on and spin it again. Probably a dumb guess, but I tried.

Don't fore get 3 fins are up and 1 fin is down, and no it is not soaked in water or any other substance.
Keep guessing
