I don't know if this constitutes "Ornimental" turning, but I made this little lidded bowl for SHMBO and she has put nothing inside so I guess it is strickly ornimental as she doesn't use it.

Ornamental Box
Claude,
That is a fine box, is it made on an eccentric chuck?
I just purchased an eccentric chuck from Ken Grunke, in Wisconsin USA. http://www.token.crwoodturner.com/ecc/
Whenever it arrives here I will have to try a lidded box on it.

Did you hand-cut the barley-twist stem?
Nice piece of work, I didn't mean to cringe when you mentioned finishing it with [shudder] 2-pack.

Hi All,
new to this site!
was just looking around general sites to find some pics for some new ideas to turn. i have found some interesting stuff on here.
Anyway, the reason for me actually signing up with this board instead of just viewing is that all my turnings are ornamental, i am in the middle of creating a website with them all on. it is www.timberturning.co.uk (if i am not supposed to post links i am sorry and please remove it) let me know what you think.

Links are OK.
One question... where are the pics of your ornamental turnings? 'Most everything I see there are "normal" turning... or do you mean you turn ornaments?
That's a slightly different thing to what we mean by "ornamental turning..." Normal turning leaves your typical circular profile, but ornamental turning can be roughly described as using an external cutting device on the lathe to create non-circular decoration on a turned piece.
eg. barley twists, the decorations of a rose engine, ovalled or "lobed" turning.

yes good points Skew, most of the pics in this thread seem to have been straight turnings or some off centre stuff...
The classic definition of ornamental turning from JJ Holtzapffels book " The principles and practice of ornamental or complex turning" is

Boxes of shapes unnumbered we produce

There may'st thou store, secure from stranger's view,
Thy noble treasures of the brightest hue,
There too the ball is made, which--wondrous sight!
Struck by the wand, rebounds in varied flight,
Here too the top, that warms the schoolboy's force,
And whirls on level ground its well urged course.

One more to add to your list. It's the Ornamental site in the US and has been up for a few months.

Nothing wrong with the odd mis-post or two... at least it brought all us wannabe ornamental turners out from under our rocks and got some posts happening.
Betters still, I got a few new links out of it.

If anyone is interested, here is another free set of plans for an inexpensive rose engine (from the OTI site I mentioned a few posts back).
Might make a wannabe into a gonnado.

So... Would using a chatter tool on the lid of a box bring it into ornimental turning? or is that cheating
