Terry Scott has some work I've seen that has 3 wings in one direction and
the fourth opposite direction. When you think about that you begin to wonder
"how did he do that?" My best guess is that he turns 8 wings (2 sets) and
then carves away the extras.

Couldn't find a link to some of his work except on the WoW site.

Has anyone here any examples of a bowl with the standard interior
(round) but a non-round exterior? perhaps an octagon, a square,
pentagon on the outside? I do believe sanding would be more of an
effort than the standard round exterior but the payoff in appearence
may well be worth it.
Just looking for pics and suggestions.
Thanks,

Square, rectangle and free-form wings are fairly common. I can't seem to
recall having seen any that were machined to the shapes you mention ...
although it DOES sound like an interesting twist.

Robert has already got me pawing at the paddock to make some odd-shaped
oil lamps ... might as well add these ideas to the pile.
