tulsk, will try and remember to take some pics. next batch, going for a much simplified design with the next lot as those in the past have been rather over engineered and time consuming.

J.T. Guess she would be an Arm-oured individual, no they are for various customers and a fund raising event.

Andrew, The purple Heart and Padauk contrast is a request even after warnings it can change colour, personally high contrast segments are not my favorite, personal preference is for distinctive figuring of complimentary woods but customers/recipients rule.

Very nice Chas but you forgot to do the back :lol: :lol:

No glue eh? did the holding on involve screws and sawing the ends(with the screw holes in) off after?

No, but would have been a lot easier, have already filed " leave legs longer" for next cutting session for that very method..
 
Playing with a vacuum chuck?
Between centres? Could be done but a lot of fiddling to clean the cebntre of the bowl up afterwards

Very nice Chas. :D
The Cherry though i don't think as the same effect as what the Labby does,for me.
Did you hold it on with some form of button jaws :? :?:
Or did you just take the piccy before you turned it :lol:

I wish, but my investigations to date/personal standards preclude one from this years budget I'm afraid.

Only tailstock for bowl centre alignment not whilst turning.

Close, the Cole jaws were used as a backing for finishing but not in compression mode.

How about a pin chuck and the hole plugged after :?:

Nope, no holes in the rear face at all, the only hole was for a screw chuck in the bowlside face.

This one still needs a couple of short feet to level it up.
 
Vey nice Chas :D :?
What finish have you put on the bark :?:

Well i give up as to how you have held them both,but it must be some sort of button jaws with extended buttons to perhaps hold the three straight edges you have :?: :?
Or have you come up with some new holding device :idea:

Cellulose sealer and woodwax22, the latter well brushed out to prevent trapped white deposits.
