tapered stave turning

[Dave Mcintire]

The pics I hope I attached are of tapered stave vessels pretty much copied from Tibbetts book, I hope he doesn't mind, but at least I did buy the book. They are pretty interesting to make and I thought worth a post. They are about as much a table saw project as a lathe project and once you successsfully make the jig you might as well make a couple, as I did.

[Stephen Hibbs]

Those are really nice Dave. I made a similar type of vessel a few months ago, and they are fun to make. Very nice work with the different woods, colors, and contrasts, and nice finish and form

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Beautifully done Dave! I'm sure Malcolm will take these as a compliment!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Dave those are super nice. I really like the form.

[John Chandler]

Those a are very nice looking. Well done.

[Malcolm Tibbetts]

Dave, nice job with these. I'm glad that my book provided a little help. If you enjoyed this technique, next try cutting your staves from laminated material - you can achieve some really wild effects. Have fun.

[Glenn Hodges]

Looks as if you got your money's worth buying his book, they look great.

[Tom Sherman]

Very nice Dave, looks like you're on to something.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Very nice work Dave! Great contrasting colors, forms and finishes! Seriously nice work!

[Brian McInturff]

Wow!!! Don't know if I've the patience to even try something like that. Those are beautiful. How much time is invested in something like that.
