Multi Axis Woodturning – Ribbed and Holey
This video is also posted to YouTube, and Vimeo. Best Right Here!
This project is my third where I am emulating Max Brosi after seeing his demonstrations at the the AAW symposium last summer in Raleigh, North Carolina. The other projects were his octahedron and his whale bone. Each of the three projects starts with a sphere, something that I’ve demonstrated many times. It was interesting to hear someone else explain it a little differently.
After turning a sphere, I had to mark for and cut 12 coves around the sphere. After the coves are cut, then I hollowed the sphere through the ends and allowed the hollowing to break through the lower middle section of the coves. Then clean up with carving tools.
Other than turning an interesting project, I appreciate the many great ideas that flowed from completing these turnings.
This is ornamental pear, very wet when I started. It is now finished with walnut oil.
Remember, the Christmas Ornament Challenge. Please get your ornament ready for this year’s challenge. It does not have to be fancy or perfect – this bell is neither fancy or perfect. However, it is a nice addition to the Christmas Ornament Challenge.

Very nic collections must try this

Looking at the object before watching Allen, I thought it would be done with a router. Very interesting process.
That may be possible but not nearly as much fun. 🙂
