big bolws from small bits of wood

[Twinnie]

and the result is a bowl that doesn't fit, thats what my last 24hours turning has been

both peices are made from storm felled timber so one is an unknown eucalipt and the other is an unknown oak. the oak platter has a center point higher then the sides so it rests on 4 feet at the corners.

these are also the first 2 off the new nova 16-24 (that you know of any way)

oh well, just don't hurt your self all those strange shapes spinning are realy nasty. i managed to do these two with out so much as a bump but you have to bee so careful.

the oak platter is so thin and light that when i caught on the buffing wheel it glided across the workshop and landed safely!

good luck with it.

ss. what is it about them your not sure about? apart from a lack of sanding (i had to hand sand them). it's good to get some feed back.

toni. yep she is up and running but i didn't get a shot with saw dust this time, that will have to wait.

Good to see new Lathe up and running. Like the first one not sure about the second one hard to tell from photo, perhaps if photo taken from above it with something resting inside it to show proportions? Just my opinion for what its worth.

Cheers

good point, my object photography skills are not that good. i'll have to see what others have done, and consider my lighting more. those photos just don't show the form well enough.

i dont know, theyre interesting and all:2tsup: , but they just dont appeal to me i guess.:-

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

I like the first form, but the second one looks to me to be... incomplete.

Probably because I turn similar forms, although slightly taller, and cut a round hole in the middle to act as a base for round-bottomed bowls. :D
