I placed new is quotes as it's pretty much my belief that there is
very little that is really new in forms and such as far as bowls go
but I do have a question/request.

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,

All kinds of things similar. Search other woodturning forums which allow
pictures for inspiration. Believe the current terminology is "winged"
bowls, though you might find other square things which strike your fancy.
This guy does 'em the way I do, or vice-versa.

You will have to be careful with any interrupted-edge piece to avoid the
edges. I put dark behind light, light behind dark to keep an eye on the
ghosts.

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.

Hi Kevin

I have seen a number of pictures through the years, of the type of
turnings you refer to, you'd have to go through many links and look at
a lot of yearly expositions etc.,to find some.

I do have a link here that has at least some out of the ordinary
turnings, from a large number of turners, some you can find sites
from, anyway here's some inspiration.

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.

Hi Kevin, You might want to try turning a vessel on the bias as
started and promoted by Tom Crabb of Virginia. He has demoed at AAW
national symposia and authored articles. I'm sure someone here can give
you specific references and advice. I haven't turned one, but think I'll
give it a try. That noise you'll hear will be my blank hitting the shop
wall.

I have one, but no camera (I tend to have bad luck with them!) The
bowl in question was turned round by me, and my wife sanded it 8 or
twelve sides into it with my belt sander, and then used a dremel to
make smaller facets surrounding those.

It looks okay. With some care, something like that could be really
great (in this case, I don't feel that she really took the sanding far
enough- but it was her project, so it is what it is!)

Check out the colin album on the yahoo bowlturners group. I think he
has what you may be looking for.
He actually has some templates on his website for several
modifications to the basic design.

That's very nicely done, Bill. Whatever it is.

Lemmee see now.

Hole in a piece of wood. Check.
Wider than deep. Check.
Holds water. Check.

Yup, it's a bowl ;-)
