Something new for me, and trying to get the "line" in just the right place is challenging. These are really fun to turn and I'm having a ball with it.
These are cherry and walnut with walnut and cherry "lines"............or is it the other way around?
I do know that doing a curved line in conjunction with a curved object is something that is difficult to get my head wrapped around.
Thanks to the late Dan Tenaglia for the inspiration. I hope he approves. 245961

Very cool! I like the simple shape and the swoosh the accent stripe makes as it flows the through the curve.
Any chance we could persuade you to do a tutorial?

The shakers themselves are made from an AAW article by Bob Rosand. PM me if interested. I would be glad to do a tutorial on the lamination portion if there's any interest.
As an aside, I just received a set of the new Beall IX expanding collets. They work great for final shaping of the top of the shaker. A jam chuck is really iffy, simply because of the dished bottom and small amount of contact, only allowing me to use a skew flat on the rest for final shaping. It works OK, just a bit slow. The Beall collet actually allows me to use a spindle gouge. Nicely made stuff.

Those are nice and like the simple lines. I have been wanting to try those.
