    I cut some NSW Rosewood to make salad server handles for a wedding present this is what I found in one lot. Fate or what.

    I was going to turn these using off centre method but now I'm not sure maybe turn what I need to and shape the rest by hand

    The blanks are rectangular in width so this will help.

    Cool Wheelin

    I guess if you turn them the matching heart shaped bits will be lost. Off centre would be better but I can't think of a better way of doing them...

    Cheers,

    I am not sure about turning the pieces, it looks more like a artists wood carving exercise in the shape of a couple of legs and joining then together at the top, then perhaps it is my dirty mind.

    Change of heart it will now be sanded laminated together and used elsewhere,

    Salad server handles made from other Rosewood instead.

    very possibly Kev

    In this case with my joinery background laminating them together would not be the right way to go, I would be considering a method of employing a perfect union. The way to go is using a male and female connection , a typical mortise and tenon and what could be better than that.
