The "flower" bowl

[powderpost]

Rained again yesterday and today, so spent more time "cleaning up". That got seriously interrupted when I found another partly started project. Actually they are pieces left over from another job. Into the lathe for the outside turning. So far so good, no surprises. Got into the inside and noticed some colour changes in the spinning mass. Stopped the machine and bloody hell, a flower. Note that the colour patches are solid timber, not veneer inlays. The timbers are white beech and red cedar. So now a new procedure to get a new effect. Must admit I was fairly chuffed and surprised at the outcome.

[MartinL]

That is beatiful. I'm fairly new to turning so can't figure out how many separate pieces of wood you used. And how were they glued together?

[Hardenfast]

Yes... very nice indeed. So as they said.... how?

Ok, Ok, a wip is in order, mind you it won't happen over night, but it will happen. Would you believe it? Found another one half done. That makes five face plates recovered. This recovery will take a bit of doing and I have a commission to do. So the wip is on the back burner for a while. Got another idea for a small urn shape, been worrying it for nearly twelve months now, but it is getting closer. It combines a few of the techniques learned over the past two years.
