Great looking bowls Jim
I particularly like your banding work.
I assume the challenge was due to the numerous beautiful segmental bowls you make. Not much of a challenge when you think about it, your bowls are far harder anyway IMHO.Neil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

You are right Neil, the laminated bowls are a bit more complicated and I do still enjoy "extracting" a bowl from a single piece of wood. Actually it was more of a dare. Even so it is hard not to "fiddle" with it.

Am I missing something here? " I bet you can't turn a bowl from a single piece of wood" All my bowls are turned from a single piece of wood ("timber" as my dad taught me) as are those of most of the members here. Mine certainly dont have the decorative features as yours have, but still they are turned from the one piece timber. Where is the challenge?
Cheers

Most (all) of Jim's recent work has been laminated.

If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

Actually there were some of us wondering whether powderpost would seize a solid piece and cut it up and then laminate it into something grander then belief

How about get a single peice of wood. Cut it up into little blocks, glue it back together like it was and THEN turn it.

Great work!
Lucky you knowing how to make beautiful banding. To buy the commercial wood banding around here I'd have to re-mortgage the house

Hi Tom
I am surprised by your comments about bandings being expensive in Canada. A good many of the commercial bandings in Australia are made overseas and sell on average about AU$6.00. I started making my own after my supplier in another state went out of business, (read died) and I had to wait for delivery. They should be available reasonably cheaply in Canada.

Yep why not, just add a different colour veneer inbetween the segments Originally Posted by tea lady

I'll look again Jim but it seems to me the 'real wood' banding I've seen in a local bulk wood shop was listed for well over $30 Can. a meter. When you started making your own did you have plans or a 'how to' book?
