Taking a break from trying to domesticate the HollowMaster...:p
Found a bunch of thin scraps sitting on top of a how-to article by Jim McPhail, took it as a sign. :cool:
Goncalo alves, bloodwood, spalted maple, and shedua, 3-3/4"x1-3/4".

Lee,
Nice form. I also really like the placement of the lighter and darker laminations along the bowls undulations.

Seriously, what is that? Left pic left edge.I think I see what you're looking at...it's a reflection, probably the edge of the table. Finish is CA, wet-sanded to 600, then buffed...seriously shiny.

Nice job Lee, I like that layered look. Did you notice the different woods had different "hardenesses"????

Very cool, Lee. Nice form and finish. I can just picture one of my striped cutting boards with a matching bowl.

Very cool Lee, the more I see these laminated thingys the more I like em. Might have to try some. One of the guys in our turning club wrote an aid to help calculate segments and angles, very interesting and I have played around with a few numbers but so far have not glued anything up.

Lee, I like that look. The differences in the woods really looks sharp. :cool: Of course it needs to be a wee bit bigger. That's only a one scooper. Need at least a three scooper. :D
I've been wondering why we don't see more of this type of turning or doesn't anyone have any scraps? :confused: ;) :D

Beautiful bowl Lee! I looked at the bowl and it looked like reflection on the left side to me. Andy needs to clean the spittle off his glasses! I can't tell from the photos...maybe I need to clean my glasses too......does your interior undulate and follow the outside form or is it straight? Very nice bowl!

Lee, that's a lovely piece. The form you've worked in matches beautifully with those layers. How long and difficult was the glue-up?

Lee, that's a lovely piece. The form you've worked in matches beautifully with those layers. How long and difficult was the glue-up?Thanks. Glue-up was only maybe 30 minutes total, but the stock was already prepped: I usually spend a whole day every couple of weeks resawing and sanding.

Very nice bowl!Interior roughly follows the exterior: sides are relatively constant thickness (a bit over 1/8"), but I left the bottom thicker because I wanted the bloodwood there.

Great looking bowl Lee.

Karl and I were just talking about that piece earlier today. Besides being a great looking piece, we both agreed that you have a real knack for making wonderful use of material which otherwise might get cast aside and creating a beatiful piece out of it. Impressive, sir!!! :) :cool:

Impressive, sir!!! :) :cool:Heh. I end up with tons of 3"-4" square pieces of thin stock from fooling around with the laser...until I go broke buying thick CA glue, the motto is "no scrap too small".:cool:
Thanks for the kind words.:D
