Is this possible as a spindle turning ?
Hello,
Am practicing spindles and learning how to use tools -
Should I be able to do something like this attached jpeg as a spindle turning ?
Anything silly or dangerous about it ?
I've seen pictures of bowls with an "apron" but never spindles.
Off to scour google images

Anything is possible, but given the direction of the grain the thin plates would be exceptonally weak and probably snap off if you looked at them sideways.

Google - Pascal Oudet. He does very thin end grain "platters" for want of a better word which may give you some inspiration. There are spindle turnings done where a stack of thin discs are formed so that the inner main spindle also features as a silhouette.
Good luck in your search.

Nothing like a good "rectum clench" to reinforce a lesson.....

Sneak up on it gradually
Thanks for the answers.
Will attempt some short thick chunky ones without any clenches for starters.

Some amazing things in those links - similar but not quite like my sketch.

Keep in mind, the thin walled features in those links are carved from a rough turned piece, not thin walled turnings. They are also by very experienced and very talented artists
