    Default Elm bowl from a cube

    I've seen a few examples of turning on this axis so decided to have a crack myself. A few lessons learnt for me but I'm pretty happy with the result. Wood is Elm & finish is Kunos Oil.

    Thanks team... John, the sanding on this one isn't that bad as the actual open section isn't that big. Because it's quite small, it wasn't that hard to hand sand those parts anyway

    Hello Corbs
    Well done, once again trying new things and increasing skill levels.

    Thanks Willy, I'm on my first week of leave now. Taking the full RAP period off so back on deck 13 Jan.

    What's the point of a ship without guns or missiles? Enjoy the cruise

    Rod, it's mounted on a woodscrew held in a chuck to turn the outside and mounted on a tenon held in compression mode to do the inside. I made a jam chuck to turn the tenon off and clean up the outside when finished.

    I'm pretty sure I've seen the same concept in here a few times and I've certainly seen it elsewhere so it's far from my idea. Make as many versions as you like
