Maple oval bowl
After a very long cold winter spring arrived here in Holland, almost 20C isn't not so bad for march.
Was very nice to work in my shop with the door wide open.
Did some rough turnings, and have improved the oval turning device by fitting extra steel rings for the rollerbearings for more stability.
Did my oval turnings till now with turning only low profile objects, with a maximum height of 4cm, and wanted turning a higher oval bowl, so a real bowl.
Knew that I had to make improvements, after a lot of low profile oval bowls.
So here is the first oval bowl, axis dimensions 200x165mm, height 85mm, made of maple.
Used my hollowing rig for hollowing out the inside, as it was endgrain turning. This rig works better than using a bowl gouge.
Cheers, Ad

Set up looks good Ad as does the bowl.
Its hard to see that its oval in the photo's..........or is it like the one we use here s the size increases the oval becomes closer to round.
Sorry still haven't done the video yet

Nice work Ad. Still want to build the "Device", but realize I will probably never do it. And it was fun to study the design and think about it.

Good work Ad. I too plan to make an oval rig--- but then again I PLAN to do a lot of things. To show my ignorance, is wood in good supply in most of Holland and what types are most available?

Wood that are available in Holland are in the first place inlands wood, like maple, birch, ash, beech, oak, cherry, walnut, willow and fruitwood, can order if I want Australian, or Indonesian or African wood, but this is expensive. Easier to get merbau or meranti, as this wood is used for doors or windows.
Untill now never bought a single piece of wood, get my wood from friends, and from the municipal works. Have to admit you folks in Down Under are more lucky with a large scale of beautiful colored hardwood available for woodturning. Can't help it that I live in Holland, but I'm proud on my small country.

Is it needed to get used to your retirement Graham, the 23th of march 2001, it was goodbye to my collegues, some nice talks, jumpt in my car and adios.
Was used to my retirement from off the first second of my freedom.
Now you have all the time of the world to do what you like to do, for example to build that thing. It's a really fun thing to build and to discover the new possibilities, as I saw on the video which Ray send me a while ago.
One good advice, don't run in the way of your LOML, you have your own kingdom
