Turning – My Quest For A Wood Star

Please view this video here. However, if there are difficulties, it is also posted on YouTube and FaceBook.

Maple Star

After turning an eight point star inspired a few weeks ago, I had a another thought about how to turn a star yet another way. I was not sure it could be successful. However, I decided to try.

Previously I have:

  • Turned a sphere and added finials;
  • Turned a cube into a star using a specific, custom jig;
  • Turned a cube into a star using a pen mandrel centered on faces, then adding finials;
  • Turned a cube into a star using a pen mandrel centered on faces but with much deeper coves, then adding finials;
  • And now, turn a cube into a star using the corners of the cube. Could I add finials???

I am now wondering where else my star quest can go.

What do you think about the differences in the process? Which do you prefer?

Enjoy.
