Lacewood Mobius

[Malcolm Tibbetts]

This is another one of my ribbon forms – assembled from bottomless, stave-constructed, bowl components (3 half-bowls and 8 quarter bowls). Approximate dimensions: 8” by 13” by 21” (Fibonacci Series). Finished with General Finishes High Performance water-based satin.

I saw this on WoW last night, Malcolm, and was blown away. This is an incredibly interesting piece...once again!

[Greg Just]

Malcom - Cool stuff but you have to explain how you do that!

It is beautiful!

[Paul Heely]

That is an amazing looking piece Malcom. Any chance there will be a video of how you made this? Would love to see how its actually done.

[TYLER WOOD]

check out his book, The art of Segmenting. I have it and it's wonderful. It describes how to make th mobius strip pieces, as well as many other things. No finincial interest here, just a satisfied consumer.

[Ben Gastfriend]

Wow! Malcom, you never fail to amaze me! That is awsome!

[Ron Hipp]

Amazing Piece.....!!!!

[Richard Madison]

Malcolm,
In addition to what they said, I just gotta ask- did you plan this whole piece in three dimensions before starting, or just wing it?

[Bernie Weishapl]

Malcom that is amazing. Beautiful.

[Steve Mawson]

Any idea where this book might be found. Very interesting piece, sure makes me wonder how it came to be.

[Tim A. Mitchell]

Check the Web site on his profile. Looks like he will send you a signed copy. Now if would only include that piece with it! Looks great.

[Brett Baldwin]

I've got to think that the glue-up is the hardest part. The simplicity of the piece really is at odds with the amount of work involved. Good stuff all the way around. And around and around and around.:D

[jeremy levine]

That is really great work. more please...

[Dennis Peacock]

That's a very nice piece....but it makes my head hurt trying to figure it out. :rolleyes: :D

[Jameel Abraham]

Really clever. And nice wood too. Thanks for sharing.

[Dave Sinkus]

I am blown away by the mobius thingy and then the lacewood (is that quarter sawn Sycamore?)

I am a huge fan of lacewood and your piece really accentuates it nicely.

[Richard Madison]

Got my copy from Amazon.

[Joel Sauder]

If all the turners I see. I think you are doing the most to take the artform to new levels. I applaud your efforts

[Bill Wyko]

Very nice Malcolm. I always know when I see a thread started by you, it's going to be good. BTW congradulations on Seggys' Dream. That was a great job for a good cause.:)

[Steve Campbell]

Wow!!! I'm truly in awe of this . what did you do on edges? I only wish I could see forms like this in my head. It's all I can do to "VISUALIZE" a simple bowl form. Thanks for showing this.
How did the auction for "Seggy" end up?

Steve

[Malcolm Tibbetts]

Thanks everyone for such nice comments.

Richard, a shape like this has to be planned or else it would never come together. But to be honest, once you've done a few, they really aren't that difficult.

Dave, the wood is lacewood from Australia.

Steve, the auction for "Seggy's Dream" generated a donation of $5500 for the American Cancer Society (in memory of Joe Long). It far exceeded my expectations.

The edges are painted black with acrylic paint.

[Andy Livingston]

Of course you realize, that's totally impossible! I have the book. I understand the concept. Doesn't matter. Still impossible!
I'm continually amazed!!!

[Paul Engle]

Ah ... , and the bar just keeps getting further and further and further away..Very nice Malcolm, very nice indeed.
