    Default Off center turning

    Trying out some new ideas (To me anyway) a bit of off center turning and some abstract art
    I think i will call it "Fem" as it reminds me of the female body. Please feel free to let me know what you think !!

    Hi spankin
    Yes the turning sure does have a feminine look.
    Its not overly obvious though that they are off centre turnings. Maybe next time you could change the centres at both ends by lots more?.
    Not meaning to sound critical here.

    Nice attempt, just work up the offset as you feel more comfortable. The Sorby style Steb Centres are a very handy addition if you wish to work between centres rather than chucked or multi centre @ multi axis. You could also try something like Vermecs Multi Centre Chuck designed by - Guilio Marcolongo Multi Centre Chuck
