I thoroughly enjoyed it Woody but I have to confess turning the turned down wings when there are only 3 and the lathe is running at 1250rpm
takes one helluva lot of tool control as I couldn't see the wings just had to feel for them !!!!:thumbs:

I'm quite chuffed with it Woody. It may not be up to your standard being my first attempt but then again I may never have done it if I hadn't talked to you !!!!:thumbs:

As long as you enjoyed doing it mate then that's all that counts were not in competition with each other mate mind the design we were talking about isn't the easiest to do

Don't know if you have tried but put a piece of black card behind the piece(If possible) helps to make the ghosting stand out a bit better

Good thinking Derek. The bowl that I have made is like the tri cornered one as I saw yours on another forum but I wanted to turn the corners down.I started it late on yesterday and finished this morning and I only have to put a finish on. Trouble is shed time is now out as we have been landed with the grandkids !!!:thumbs:
