Wave Grooves

[Fredo]

Morning all

Here is my latest woodturning distraction - external wave grooves. Thought I'd post a couple of pics. This is where I'm up to...some bowls and trinket boxes.

[starr]

Great work.

Any chance of revealing how you cut the grooves?

[TTIT]

Good to see you're still kickin' Fredo :; Not content with straight lines from the router jig eh! Great looking pieces :2tsup:

[Willy Nelson]

They all look fantastic, with or without the groove, they look superb, Well done :2tsup:

I too would be keen to hear how you did them.

Also,could you list the types of timbers you have used in your post?

Cheers

Hi all

bench1holio - Thanks Ben, the first bowl is Claret Ash with pyro decoration in the groove. A home made tip in a standard pyro pen.

ticklingmedusa & starr - Thanks guys. I don't have a pic of the jig, will take one and post.

TITT - G'day Vern, this router stuff is distracting and addictive. If you have lot's of hours to waste, you should try it.

Willy Nelson - Thanks, I'll try and post a pic.
The woods are -
1 - Claret Ash with pyro (lot's of it in Canberra)
2 - Claret Ash with gold ribbon (stolen from wife's sewing kit)
3 - Lid is Coolabah Burl with Brown Mallee knob, base unknown wood, decoration is gold rope style chain (donated by wife :;)
4 - Lid is Coolabah Burl with Brown Mallee knob, base is Eucalypt Resin Burl
5 - Lid is Red Gum Burl and the base is Camphor Laurel

Fredo :U

[Willy Nelson]

Thanks Fredo
I say again, they look superb, especially the mallee and coolabah, especially No 4.
Stunning
Cheers
Willy

Very nice. They are different and very pleasing to the eye. Well done.

P.S. Like the others would like to know your secret.

I've inset metal bangles into my boxes (3rd pic) but never in a wave form - I like that.

And your take on the finials for pics 3 & 4 I think are stunning.

Impressive work all round - well done.

Good looking stuphph there Fredo!:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

How long before SWMBO catches up with your antics?:D

[Fredo]

tea lady - Thanks, I thought the gold chain would appeal to the ladies.

Willy Nelson - Thanks again

dogcatcher, turnerted, cookie48, artme - Thanks guys, they're something new and different for me.

dr4g0nfly - Thanks. Glad you like the finials (knobs).

Fredo :U

Bit like carving flutes :U


Great stuff and love the effect. :2tsup:

[Fredo]

Wheelin - Thanks, you should be able to do this on your OT lathe.

Hughie - Thanks, I can't freehand carve so I'm forced to use a router.

Fredo :U

[wheelinround]

:doh: When its built

I have done similar but using handtools on David Lairds Swash lathe see first 4 photos GalleryEquip2 (http://www.otga.org.au/GalleryEquip2.htm)

Noisey beast takes a bit of getting used to but I used to enjoy it. Yours would of course be much quieter except for the router.
