Each piece is individually turned and fitted together if I understand it correctly


Mashrabiya, A Day of Art and Adventure

Yes it is.

Real turning.

What they said.

And to quote (or paraphrase) Richard Raffan, "The first 2000 are the hardest."

Very interesting! An idea for the door of the entertainment unit I am pondering! Might look better then TV!

that is amazing

Interesting reading Hughie, especially in light of current events .
Texas turner S. Gary Robert's book, Masterful Woodturning describes and illustrates a music box project that incorporates mashrabeya.
In a sidebar he mentions that mashrabeya was used to enclose
unglazed earthenware water bottles placed in windows to cool the air that ventilates houses in the hot desert climate of Egypt.
A well made piece of grillwork might have as many as 2000 pieces in it . If one enjoys complexity this might be just the thing.
