About a year ago I came across a web gallery that had vases turned from
staves that were cut in a triangle shape. When turned the vase appeared as
if it had been turned off axis. I thought I book marked it, but somehow it
disappeared in the great bit bucket in the sky. Does anyone out there know
what I mean (I know that I didn't describe it very well), and where I can
find that site?

Thanks

I don't think these are a direct match to your description, but if you
follow links from these, especially the first one, you might find what
you are looking for.

The first one has some detailed instruction pages.

1st post didn't show up? I think this is what you're looking for:

Thanks, Turned by George is not the exact page I once saw, but it is what I
needed to get started.

I sat myself down and with the aid of a compass and triangle made some
drawings. Then sat to doing some calculations using Excel. My trigonometry
is a bit rusty - took that course in high school in '54, but I finally
managed to produce a spread sheet for 8 and 12 segment vessels. It could be
extended to any number of segments so long as the number divides without
remainder into 360.

If anyone is interested, I will gladly e-mail this to you. I am not very
proficient at sketchup or Visio, but can scan my paper drawings and attach
them.

Thanks
Paul Gilbert
