In preparing for a remote demonstration, I guess I went crazy with some inside out turnings. An inside out turning can be fascinating. For an inside out turning, staves are temporarily fastened together while a profile is cut. Then each stave is rotated and permanently joined before turning another profile. The first turning is then on the inside while the second turning is outside.

Usually an inside out turning uses two or four staves. A two stave project is flat with an inner cavity. A four stave is more 3 dimensional with four windows into the interior. Sometimes, another object is placed inside the final turning.

A three stave inside out turning is a little more complex because the initial stock must be cut at a 60 degree angle. After that, the process is the same. However, a triple stave turning has larger windows into the interior. I like the larger windows.

While I was at it, I made two turnings with a captured sphere inside and one with an LED tea light inside.

Here’s a link to the perfect sphere turning video:

Enjoy!
