Definition of Natural Edge Item
I presenting a Computer Slideshow to the Townsville Woodturners (
Queensland, Australia) at their AGM on 6th Sept on the topic of natural edge items. I'm devoting part of the presentation to a review of the different definitions used to categorise a natural edge item for competition by clubs around the globe. It would be much appreciated if newsgroup members could reply to this message with their club's own definition / specification. Webpages with good examples of the NE items (spindle or face grain) would be nice as well. Thanks in advance. Scott Anderson -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

I'd define it as any item that retains the outer surface of the cambium - whether that includes the bark or the natural surface the just underlies the bark and begins the sapwood portion of the tree. The edge must be left untouched though - once you begin shaping it you've effectively lost the "natural" edge. I don't have any pics of a natural edge uploaded, but here's a pic of a bowl I'm half way done with: http://users.easystreet.com/onlnlowe/misc/bowl.JPG |

TIC/BSG/etc. I never finished the other half, but when I do, I'll let you know how I assemble it. -- Owen Lowe Northwest Woodturners Pacific Northwest Woodturning Guild ___ Tips fer Turnin': Place a sign, easily seen as you switch on your lathe, warning you to remove any and all rings from your fingers. Called degloving, extended hardware can grab your ring and rip it off your finger. A pic for the strong of stomach: www.itim.nsw.gov.au/go/objectid/2A3AC703-1321-1C29-70B067DC88E16BFC/index.cfm Besides, rings can easily mar the surface of a turning as you check for finished smoothness. |
