Nice find!
Thanks for posting. That is a very nice piece. Please show us another picture with finish!
What is the technique for putting the bowties into a turning? Specialty tools? Are there any resources (tutorials, demos or videos) to show this?
Nice work!
Can anyone suggest reliable source of lumber in the Twin Cities area in Minnesota? My go to was Youngblood and they closed about a year ago. There are a few places to get lumber that I am aware of...
I am looking to add a tool post for use with my Jet 1642 EVS lathe and either a Monster articulated hollowing system or a Jamieson style captive hollowing system. I have the stock tool rest that...
I saw this lathe on Criaglist. It seems like the price is a little high (asking $2850) but I know this is a good lathe and it has almost not ever been used. I currently have a Jet 1640EVS in good...
Nice bowl. Here are a couple more from the same tree. It is fun to see what all comes out of one tree. Thanks for sharing Paul.
Thanks Robert. Is the Master cut a ring tool? I did some looking and couldn't find either of your references.
I have been trying to learn how to turn hollow forms. I have two hollowing systems, both of which I have picked up used and have a variety of parts some of which have been modified. I haven't...
Great description of burnishing John. Thanks. What is the diameter of your small carbide rod in the osage orange handle? Are you buying longer rod and 'splitting' it? If so, how? What is a good...
That is cool. A lot of skill and patience.
That is beautiful and creative. I really like it!

Simply beautiful. Nicely done!
No real reason to glue it except that I didn't think of it as a box and didn't want the relatively rough inside to distract from the outside. The 'lid' actually fit nicely when I glued it in :) Next...
This piece was twice turned so it was dry and the collar/lid fit. I just chose to glue it because it was not intended to be a box.
Thanks Chris. I will work toward the flush collar. The one in my pic is my first collar that I have ever done. It is actually recessed but not enough to make the transition smooth. Did you glue...
Here is the one that drew the comments. Apologies for the poor picture. I just took one for the purpose of this conversation. It is about 6 inches in diameter and maybe 5.5 inches high.401733
I recently took a hollow form to our club's monthly instant gallery. It is a squatty shape and I made a collar and ball on top (rather than a finial). I glued the assembly together. When standing...
I got the Elbo Laser Guide and am using it on my Monster hollowing system. It did not work 'out of the box'. However, the work around was easy. The reason it did not work was that he diameter of...
Will do Bill. I was able to contact Tim and he is now aware that the Contact function on his website was not working. He has someone working to fix that. He did respond to the email that was...
Thank you David. I have been in contact with Tim (thanks for the connection lead here) and am going to be getting my laser arm today! I will need to do a little modification to make it work with my...
Thanks David. The trick is that I need to talk to someone to check compatibility with my Monster system. If you see a phone number on any correspondence and are willing to share with me in a PM, I...
