Ah! I did wonder how you managed to choreograph the woodworm

Nice effect!

Beat me to it Bob, I was just about to say get rid of it before it contaminates all your other wood! :shock: As it is self inflicted though it looks very nice. Got to admit even though I have a lathe I have never turned a bowl yet but I can appreciate the hard work that has gone into it.

It has an Aboriginal look to it, if you know what I mean.

yeh I like it and, as said, you've managed to make it look like it's natural woodworm. Which I assume was the intention? It's a nice technique

Hi Morris
I don't turn wood mesel but do think your bowl is well done and the mock flight holes are , well , different and add a touch of interest . Is that called 'patterning' ?
You may be a newbie to the site here but not to turning , but what do I know ? . Whatever ! favourable criteqie is due so let's hear it for Morris .
Cheers

Excellent Morris.
Unlike 'joesoap' I do turn. I also carve and decorate on my turnings.
A good beginning if I may say so! Next, a thin walled bowl and some piercings maybe, your new Dremel is simply made for it.
Good one Morris.Keep going

Hello All

John do you know which cutter I should be buying to pierce the wood and cut a pattern into it??
after only turning 1.5 years I have a lot to learn , but I am sure I will get there

Try asking your dentist.The bits they use in the drill are classed as consumable. Most of them fit the dremel and other mini drills. My wife was a dental nurse and she got a load from her dentist before she resigned. The picks etc are quite usefukl too. They can be picked up on the Internet quite cheaply. If you try and buy them theycost about £6 each as most odf them are diamond tipped.
