Now that is different---I bet it takes awhile to turn that and getting the finish right would be a real job.
Looks cool-- but your right I do not think I will give that one a try.

[John Shuk]

Aw c'mon Chris. You show us something that looks as nice as that and then say don't try? What are you trying to do to us. Seriously, it looks great. Nice work. Good choice of scheme as well.

Ok Chris. I'm not going to try it. But it shore looks nice! :)

[Glenn Hodges]

Nice job, I like the contrasting colors.

[Jeff Sudmeier]

Chris, it looks great! Any details on how you did it?

Did you glue up a solid base with "roughed out rings". In other words did you cut out the center of the layers so that there was less "hollowing"?

[Chris Rolke]

i use a standard segmented construction

designed using woodturnerpro

there is not a finish on it


its just sanded to 8000

and then buffed

[Jeff Sudmeier]

Great work! I didn't think you would want to hollow out a solid block of corian! :)
