Similar but job to see from the angle shown. I think the curve was more pronounced, but as I say it may be the angle of the picture.

Very nice Doug! Which bit did you turn first?

Hi Jumps,

The grind Chris used is much more pronounced. That one looks like about 70 degrees across, Chris's grind seemed to start about 45 degrees and curve round significantly from there.

Much like the way Richard Rafan grinds his skews.

cheers - technical drawing probably better than the image (which is a Raffan...)

no doubt some kind soul will post some pics of their new skew when they have completed the transformation!

Cheers Ryan, I did the offset bowl hollow first, then the back & foot & finally flattened the top.



I made a start on my skew tonight,

I`ve tried it but it needs a shallower grind on the cutting angles, though i`m fairly happy with the sabre shape.

A couple of photos of the finished bowl.

Cheers.

Doug,
Both the bowl and the skew are works of art!
