More Rose Engine Experiments

[YoYoSpin]

These two k-scopes have rose engine lathe embellishments:

Dark Planet EPR:

Hawaiian Koa:

I really like the second one, but don't try to get it past TSA, they might think it was a hand grenade!

Ed, imho rose engine work should be done w/ more plain medium, the koa works but the swirling colors of the acrylic draw away from the rose engine detail.

Amazing work. The koa k-scope looks like a pineapple.

I tend to agree, but I think that since the detail work was done on the 'plain' end of the piece, that it ended up looking really good. I think that a bottle stopper would be awesome with the lower half done like in the first pic and the upper being simpler or possibly including a doohickie whatchamacallit.

 

[Hello]

I've seen pictures of hte rose engine, and read breif descriptions as to how it works.....but when I'm looking at an end product, I just can't picture how those shapes are accomplished.

I think it's still called a lathe because it still rotates around, it just adds a pivot.
