Woodturning Eccentric Tree – It Grew Up In The Wind

Please view this post here on this page. But if there are technical difficulties, it is also posted on YouTube and FaceBook.
Inspired by entries in last year’s Ornament Challenge. I am in an eccentric mood. Plus, we had a club demonstration wherein one of the projects was an evergreen tree.
I decided to take the demonstration tree to the level of the challenge tree. This requires a series of offsets to the turning axis to achieve a leaning tree or a tree that has grown up in a consistent prevailing wind, my mother’s “canyon breeze”.
The wood is aspen. This piece is solid, without checks common to aspen.
The tree is 6″ tall, 3″ diameter, finished with shellac.
Enjoy.
Alan,I would love to have you demo for our club. Do you do IRDs?
