Vase, weedpot. A bit off.

Hi,
After seeing a Utube item in off center turning I decided to have a try. I did an egg cup with an off center stem to get the feel of it. I was thinking ok that was not a hard exercise. I was not all that impressed with the end result but some other people liked it so I decided to try something else. I had a bit of KB pine so did a small vase. It was a bit of guess work to imagine the shape while the wood is spinning but I think after a few more the minds eye will kick in. I reckon the variations in shape should be endless depending on placement of centers and how many. Filled an idle hour and was fun.

Regards
John

John, off center turnings, I suppose this was a kind of a try out for you.
Anyway a good practice, maybe trying another shape ?
This technic gives you a lot of possibility's.

Good on you for giving it a go!!
