Project Information

Here is bowl #12 I made recently.
It's a large bowl (blank maxed out my lathe) made out of 624 segments. It actually took a lot longer to build the blank or make the legs than it took to turn it. The design is all myself.
I built three sets of legs (and carved all) but the first two sets didn't look good on the bowl. Finally I decided on this shape and design.
Was the first time I tried incorporating carving into a project.
It's about 16"x11.5". Made out of walnut and maple finished with BLO+Shellac.

The photos are much worse than what it really looks.
Finally got something to sign my works with

Very nice work.
Looks like you made turned it, cut it hald, and then joined them together end to end?

Great design!!!

I can see how you would turn this piece on the lathe but it is still a fascinating piece of work. So you should explain it for others to learn from. I'm not a particular fan of sectional lathe work but I like things that leave the observer puzzles as to how it is made. If I ever get time I might try something similar so I will stash a picture of your piece for reference.

I usually don't like segmented turning but this is a rather unusual and a very interesting and intriguing bowl. Great job!

Amazing. But I have to agree, How did you turn that? Maybe you should do a blog on your technique.

Very creative Its one of the best I've seen so far! I'm some what baffled on how you did this ? If you would be so kind as to share with us on the procedure that would be great (If not I fully understand )

Job Well Done
