This is a bowl type thing I turned for a turning challenge at WR. Started as a 4"x4"x5" block. Cut a small flat on opposite corners and mounted between centers until I had a tenon. Then mounted in Talon and finished it. It's apple with tung oil finish.

Very, very nice Curt. Never tried one that way, I like how it only has 3 elements showing.
I have put that on the try to do list.

Thanks for showing an interesting turning,

Bill.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>:)

Very neat, but will it hold much icecream..... :D

Must be odd with it being there, and then not there..... :eek:

Cheers!

I like the different, and is this one different. I sure would not want to sand it.

I wouldn't want to get my hands anywhere near it when it's turning. It is a really nice piece. Did you boil it to "set the sugar" before turning?

Curt,

It looks great! I'll put that on list of things NOT to try until I'm a whole lot better turner!!! That picture of it spinning looks scary to me.

It's a bowl type thing, my first attempt at contemporary modern art (did I spell that right). ;)
