Woodturning Out-Of-Round Bowl
May also be viewed via YouTube, Vimeo, and FaceBook. Best of all is right here!
After watching Guilio Marcolongo demonstrate at the Utah Woodturning Symposium, I took to heart his statement that not every woodturning project must be round. He does some nice work by figuring out different ways to hold his work.
Back at my shop, I found a chunk of walnut that could serve well for my experiment with out-of-round turning. My general plan was a triangle but with arcs instead of sides. No plan works out perfectly and my bowl turned out even more misshapen than planned.
The bowl is approximately 7 inches by 5 inches and about 2 inches high, finished with lacquer and buffed to a high gloss.
I think there is a better way to go about this type of project. I’m pondering it and I will find a way.
Good turning.
That is beautiful. I’m not quit a beginner and far from a master somewhere in between lol. But I’m going to have to give that a try. Thank you for sharing all of your videos. This is the only way this old retired man has been able to learn how to enjoy retirement and learn how to use a lathe and how to go about using the tools of the trade. A very enjoyable hobby for me. Than you.
Walnut is a beautiful wood. Makes up for being so smelly.
I appreciate your comment.
