When you have the right tools it's Simple

And that's why we can't make a living from turning bowls!

 

[winemaker]

Very interesting like you say with the right tools but I think done by hand is better

 

[Random Orbital Bob]

Amazing really isn't it.

The shape has to be part of a sphere for the tool entry to work - no possibility of any other shape. I wonder what they do with the triangles of heartwood, where they've cut the three blanks off?

First thought was that it's very clever. Second thought was that though I've mangled a good deal of timber at least I've been working with wood and not been unnecessarily cruel to it. :shock:

no skill involved whatsoever. belt sander to finish off?

every skilled trade is being killed off by machinery, long live the luddites.

They're making bowls, not skilled woodworkers!
