Tony great design and well turned I love using NSW Rosewood scented smells great. can even smell it after its finished.
If its dry very powdery but usually once the tp layer is gone soft wet/moist turning.

Thanks for the favorable comments I certainly enjoyed making it, with thirty years of turning a extensive collection of turning books and magasines plus several Turnfests my head is filled with ideas this challange has encouraged me to to something.
Ken I spent quite a bit of time this afternoon first with pencil and paper then with blocks trying to work out how you do the box on the bias using a rectangular block.

Tony, you start exactly the same way as a cube. Start with a piece of wood say 75mm square by about 120mm long Flatten two diagonaly opposite corners, place between centers and turn a chuck spigot on one end. This will make a deeper bowl than the one you just turned. When you use a rectangular block this way one point ends up a lot lower. This makes the bowl harder to turn as you can't see the short point, it gets lost in the ghost of the long points. The finished piece looks better as the three points end up different heights.
Ken Wraight.
Turner of the weird and wonderful.
