One of those days

Great project. Every one of us should have something like this in our shops. This would brighten anybody’s day.

Thanks for sharing.

What a cool project. Must have made that on a monday…LOL

-- My mind is like lightning...one brilliant flash and then it's gone.

I love it, thanks for sharing.

A bad day in the shop is better than a good day in the office.

I am impressed.

Very nice piece – but did you notice that the neck is twisted? :-)) I’m afraid to ask how you did it.

Just how did you do that? Care to blog? Or just explain?! Interesting piece to say the least…

That’s just a fun, cool piece. Why do normal, right? ;)

That is interesting thing.

Excellent, very well done!

-- Les, Wichita, Ks. (I'd rather be covered in saw dust!)

OK Tom, fess up. How did you do that?

I think it is cool, ... rubber tree ? spring growth ? reaction wood ?

I’d love to see the video of how that was made!

Nice. So how’d you do it??????

-- Tony, Ohio

I threw a clay pot that looked just like that one time. I wasn’t as pleased as you should be though, Very nice work!!

-- Woodworking is Life. Anything before or after is just waiting.--S. McQueen sort of

I’ll be wondering all day how you did that. But that’s what makes this hobby so much fun. Nice project.

Oh you definately got to tell us how you did that! I think this is really…different?! Definately unique. Love it.

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

What the… How the… Huh?

That’s Incredible!

It was turned on a lathe while traveling through a black hole? We’ve gotta see the process!!!

Give! You can’t show off something like that and then leave us all hanging! How did you make it! :) Great job!

-- Tom, Southwest Florida

I haven’t done anything like this but…

If I were making this, I’d make a straight tube for the neck then cut donuts out of it at slight angles. Then
I’d glue it back together after twisting a few of the donuts to get the twisted effect.

Okay, you can let us wonder for a day or two but then I agree you gotta give it up.
I think Leon is on the right track.

ok, time to elaborate (or show us that funky lathe!) ;)

You ain’t supposed to hit the sauce until after you leave the shop!

-- Maplewood, MN

Leon was on the right track and it could have been done that way, but I did not do it that way. Instead I made a segmented vase and when it came to the neck I made segmented rings, then turned them round on the lathe, then I cut them at an angle on edge with a bandsaw then I sanded them smooth on a disc sander so that from the edge view they looked like wedges. Then glued them together turning each succeeding ring a little more than the last one. This produced a twisting neck, the more or less you turn each ring will produce a tighter twisting neck.

KEWL!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

It was that or you used tooo much clamping pressure.
