Love the bowls Ian

Actually may need some advice on a little turning job I hope to get.

 

Can't even imagine how you make that Timmy. Good work

 

 

hi beau, if you need any help with turning advice then give me a call and i'll do what i can to help.

 

 

i agree with everyone else great bowls...

Thanks for the kind replies

 

Impressed with alot of peoples work on here.

I don't usually post, just look but here are a couple of recent works.

 

The pair of forms were turned for Wizardry in wood exhibition to be displayed on behalf of the Register of Professional Turners. Turning the pewter finials and feet is interesting though challenging, a very steady hand is required so a couple of pints helps! The tallest finial took me 16 hours solid turning.

 

The vase is turned through 5 axis so is challenging to hollow and the chunk of wood is an oak burr being turned throughout this weekend into a large hollow form with an ebony ring. I hope to get the wall thickness down to about 4mm to allow distortion as it dries out.

im impressed that such beautifull peices were created on such a dainty lathe.

 

well done.

It's all about the rpm's!!

Had 70kg between the centers of the Hegner though for the really big stuff I have used a VB36.

 

Still saving for a fully equipped VB though!
