Default Musing about turning simple sphericons.

Sphericons! Yet another area of turning to get to - eventually.

The insane things turners will do to perfectly nice turnings.
Malcom Tibbett's Slice Up Two Perfectly Nice Bowls - Then Glue
Them Back Together - Into A Mobius Strip Thing -being another
example.

I have a theory that one branch of today's woodturners were
"Back to Nature" hippies. The other branch - the ones still
running on residual hallucinogens - went off to try and make
things they'd "seen" during a psycidelic (sp?) forray into
alternate dimensions. I have to wonder what the Young Republicans
from the 60s are creating today.

Thanks for another interesting shape / form to think about.
