"New" design
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, -Kevin |

I put dark behind light, light behind dark to keep an eye on the ghosts. |

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. http://www.thedanielcollection.co.uk...gh2005Main.htm Have fun and take care Leo Van Der Loo On Apr 19, 3:52 pm, Kevin wrote: 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.

well, depending on what you mean by "bowl", here is one example:

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. TomNie "Bill in Detroit" wrote in message ...

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. Turn to Safety, Arch Fortiter http://community.webtv.net/almcc/MacsMusings |

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. 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. http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/Bow...se?b=1&m=t&o=5 Regards Paul Geving On Apr 19, 3:52 pm, Kevin wrote: 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.

Hole in a piece of wood. Check. Wider than deep. Check. Holds water. Check. Yup, it's a bowl ;-) -- http://nmwoodworks.com/cube --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
