was asked to turn a pattern bell shaped end for an 8" fibreglass pipe or tube; marine use was given measure of 17 3/4" dia across the top, down 2" and then a 4 7/8" radius and theh another 2" drop for inside the pipe.
used most of a 28BF poplar plank. 10/4 x 9" x 15'

Beautiful job!

Will this be used as a form for fiberglass or a casting or something?

thanks
this is what patterns usually are. this will used to make a fibreglass mould to make fibreglass extensions for 8" fibreglass pipe. it is for marine use

this is one that I did for a customer back in the late 90s which I made the pattern for. he sold them all over the world. believe they were the international stansard for kicking T's for soccer
