Its been a long time since ive posted here, Ive been incredibly busy with none wood related projects.
My current project though could be wood related im looking at the possibility of a turned jet like orb, but the dimensions are far to big for me to even attempt, it wont even fit on my lathe.
The pics below give a rough idea of the scale of the orb, Im unsure as to whether the orb can be achieved by turning, i need the wall thickness to be as small as possible 3-5mm ideally based on the dimensions shown. If i incresed the size of the 'orb' i could get away with 10-15mm for the wall thickness.
Is this even possible? Can anybody do it and be able to cut the 'orb in half like shown in the picture so the 2 halves can be attached almost seamlessly?
Im not really fussed about the wood choice whether its from a solid wood or even laminated ply?
Anybody got any ideas?
