Thread: Another Fantastic TurnFest 2011

The red piece was done by a member of our club. It was a bowl turned thin and then pieces carved out of it.

David Springett does it in one piece.
He shows you how in his book.

Hi, the cut out bowl was turned by myself, it was turned to abour 3-4mil then cut out with a jigsaw (very carefully), cleaned up with a fine diamond file by hand, took a long time. It is Jacaranda stained with Mulberry and the edges are painted black. I am very happy with the result.

Welcome lintonA, you should be very pleased with the result it is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship and a definite prize winner, well done Kerry

Hi tea lady, the red one was my bowl, it was turned, then pierced with a jig saw (carefully) Jacaranda stained with mulberry, it was a very slow and enjoyable process
