Today I have gone all soppy. Love to know your thoughts. I have made a heart shaped bowl and I pryographed the border on it. I am really truly happy with this bowl. I know I have seen circle bowls, square bowls and rectangles but I don't see think I have ever seen a heart shape, Have you?
I will have photos done in the next hour after I finish putting the polish on it but I was wondering doyou know if anyone ever turned a heart shape bowl?
bye Toni
what is your opinion

AMAZING, Toni! "Stunning" isn't the half of it. And you cut the heart shape first? Wow! If I had a blank large enough, I might cut the heart shape last, but it'd be a pale imitation. Really, truly, first-class work.

Nice Job Toni:2tsup:
How do you reckon you would go if you turned the rim round and then shaped it (to heart shape)?
It could be a bit safer. I have turned square stuff and you have to be really careful...especially with the sanding. I have a student in year 9 that wants to do shaped turning (he has never done any turning before! :oo:) and I have decided it is too risky (OH&S and all). I will get him to turn round and then shape later and if it needs to be trimmed up on the lathe after shaping then I will do it for him.
Once again Toni, your work is looking good... was this done on the big yellow baby or the OT lathe?
Regards,
Chipman:)
