The bottom was turned clamped to a large auxilary faceplate. It works well for small open items, but reduces what I can fit on a midilathe.
The box is about 3 inches in diameter, and is also finished with shellac.
Another gift - this time from a coworker's firewood. Some of the curliest maple I've seen, but small pieces.
This is the largest segmented bowl to date. Nothing really striking about the design, but the wood is Brazilian Cherry with a ring of purpleheart/yellowheart/purpleheart. The base is also purpleheart. There are 109 individual pieces of wood in the bowl.
OK, I know this is a duplicate. I turned a pair of tall candlesticks from the same log, but I haven't found the photos yet.
I apologize for the photo quality. I'd retake them but I sold the bowl at the 2002 Harvest of the Arts (Wellington, Ohio) as a gift going to France. Does that make me a world famous international turner?
This cherry bowl, about 4 inches in diameter and 1-1/2 inches deep, is finished on the lahe with foodsafe shellac.
A good friend of mine gave me all the boxelder I could carry. This was a small piece, but loaded with the traditional boxelder color.
