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

Thanks for sharing.

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…

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

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

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.

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.
