Hybrid coolibah burr form

[George Watkins]

Hello folks

I cast this blank the other week and finally got around to turning it yesterday afternoon.
It measures 115mm tall by 95mm wide or 4 1/2" tall by 3 3/4" wide (give or take a 64th)
The blank was a whopping 1100 grams the finished form is just 265 grams

That's awesome.

Now that is a beautiful piece! What do you cast with? Aluminite? Not only is it beautiful material used, it is beautiful turning and finishing.

George, you need to invest in some sandpaper....there are some seriously deep tool marks........

Just kidding of course, you know I'm a big fan of all your little boxes, bowls and forms. :biggrin:
How is the strange light reflection formed? Do you have either 6 lights or a strip of windows behind you?

Beatiful form as usual George. Any way of "coring" and thereby cutting down on the material waste? I know that it is not a very large vessel but to go from 1 kg+ down to 200+ is a lot of material removal. Just wondering...

absolutely stunning.

 

[George Watkins]

thank you for all of your comments

Skippy- its a 6 section bay window

wood-of-1kind: not that i know of, plus a large part of that weight loss is from the exterior too.
