reverse wings

Extraordinary piece! It boggles my mind to try and figure out how you did it. It is truely a beautiful work of art!

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

You’ve done it again Pete. Amazing idea and a nice job. At first sight I thought I was looking at New Zealand’s first stealth fighter. I really like it.

“Reversed wing thingy” I love it. And thanks for including the pic of the broken one. It’s some beautiful wood to go to waste. Any plan to salvage it? Very nice work, Pete!

Pete,

Very unique. Do you turn it green and then shape it? It looks intriguing. Thanks for posting.

I think i know how you did this, but not being a turner i am not completely sure.
I guess the secret is in the pre-turning cuts you make to the wood

Pete, ”A Tip of the Hat” to you sir.

This is such a nice looking piece. The form is outstanding. It just amazes me. I still can’t get my head around the technique of turning this one. Is there a tutorial on this somewhere I could see ? Please share…......

Your finish on this piece looks very good, from what I can see in the picture. If I have any critiques, it would be the finial…. a bit thiner might look a bit better on this…. but that’s just my eye.

You get a 10 on this one my friend…............ Well done .

-- Brian, Ontario Canada,

I absolutely love this, as Brian said, the form is OUTSTANDING!!!! Definitely in my favorites folder.

If no one has suggested it yet, I would like to see if you would do a Blog/Tutorial on this.

That’s amazing – I’m trying to wrap my brain around the turning technique and all I can come up with is an off-lathe carving.
