Off Center Off Axis Out of Kilter Dish

[Charlie_W]

Here is something a little different for me. It is a maple dish that is off center, off axis, out of kilter, just plan off!

Edit: Hit the wrong key ...more to follow

Okay, back again.
This is a maple dish I turned. It is 7" diameter, has an off center hollow and is canted 13/16 when it sits on the table. I canted it to the lower right to make it a right handed dish. Lower on the right (4:30 position), higher on the left for scooping up items from the dish.
Currently unfinished as Wifey will take her Pyro skills to it!

"Xerox"? For what purpose?

If I want another, I will turn it with my hands, my eyes, my tools and lathe.

Good idea! Like to see it when the wife is done with it.

Okay, no more waiting...here is the finished dish.

My wonderful inhouse personal pyrographer Wifey added her magic and then I applied 3 coats of Danish Oil Finish and buffed.

Wow beautiful pyro work love the signature on the bottom. Did you make your own pyro equipment or did you buy one?

Thanks William, We bought a Razortip pyrography burner. She has a bunch of pens and some homemade tips as well.

I was thinking of getting a burner does she like this one or is there one she would rather have? Any suggestions on getting started?

She bought another brand burner first. After taking a workshop with Cynthia Gibson, she bought the Razortip. This one allows her to turn it down lower for delicate work and better control with shading where as the first one seemed to be better for branding style of pyrography. She really likes the Razortip!

Beautiful work by both of you.

I would suggest either a video or something for the library here. That is a work of art. I would like to try something like that in my free time. Of course, would more then likely have to get some more tools. LOL I would need more knowledge.
