I'd have loved to have seen that show. If it's going to be re-aired,
someone please let us know!


Anyone know how that sculpture on his homepage was made?

Go to the web site for Carolina Mountain Woodturners:
http://www.carolinamountainwoodturners.org/
And then click on newsletters along the right hand side then select December
2008.
Keith was the demonstrator and the newsletter has a summary of his demo
along with his hand outs.

Yeah... I've watched him demo how he does that at one of our meetings...
involves turning, sawing and gluing. The Carolina Mountain Woodturners site
probably gives you a good idea.

Winter Rose is one of most interesting to me...

square blocks on the lathe--which seems absurd when you think about it!

Not to metal workers. :-)

If you want to make non-square objects, It helps to have a 4-jaw
non-scroll chuck.

Must be a lot of hand figuring that creates the transition from the
base to the upper. I can't think of any other way to do it and the
demo doesn't show it.

Very nice. What is the stem made of?

As I recall, it's ebony.

Once folks saw it done it seemed perfectly reasonable but when he said he
was going to do it it just didn't seem reasonable!
