I won first place with this entry at a competition sponsored by our turning club. The top is sapele and the pedestal is walnut (dyed).

Wow!!!! That is amazing!!!

I think that I would have broken at LEAST 10 fingers if I attempted to turn something like that!!:biggrin:

I love it!!:wink:

 

[Harley2001]

Wow that is outstanding.

WOW Outstanding Stan!!!!

Having seen some of your work in person, I know that any picture can't come close to doing this justice!!

 

[peterborough66]

Absolutely outstanding

 

[Dale Lynch]

Love how you dogeared the wing.

Stan; I'm sure you don't serve your catfish in that one. Very unique design. Well done !! Jim S

I always love these manta like pieces, this one is another beauty!

 

[wood-of-1kind]

Now that is truly a work of art. An outstanding piece at that!!!!!!

Okay, how the heck did you do that? When I saw the thumbnail I assumed it was warped acrylic or something, NOT wood. That would be right at home in a gallery.

 

[Pioneerpens]

Congrats Stan! That is beautiful!!

Every time I see something like that I simply sit in awe...... like has been asked, how in the heck do you turn something like that with the various axis's?
Amazing work!

 

[mrcook4570]

It is actually just a single axis. Think of it as two square bowls turned back to back from the same piece of wood. Then carve away three corners from one 'bowl' and one corner from the other.

I've been working with some square bowls lately and I can REALLY appreciate the degree of difficulty in that piece.

I've viewed this a few times and still can't get my head around it :embarrassed:
Awesome work - I'll have to ask professor google to explain how you did this
