First go at a concept I've been thinking about.
Sapele and Silver Birch. 5 1/2" X 2 1/2"

Really neat work, Neil. Great fit between the two bowls!
It's only glued at the bottom Matt, to allow for any movement between the two woods.
Very nice Neil mate. A lot of work involved though
A good result with this one Neil.

It's quite imaginative. Very appealing.:itscool:
That's a great concept Neil. Don't tell Richard Kennedy - he'll nick that idea for sure! Is it dishwasher safe by the way?

That turned out well Neil great piece of turning

Thanks all!
Yes it is dishwasher safe. We don't have one!
Not many actually, which was surprising.
I turned the outer of the Sapele but left it slightly too tight on the Birch, and unfinished. This was no bad thing as by the time I finished the piercing on the Birch, which made it more flexible anyway, the Sapele had moved slightly. Another cut, and a quick hand sand sorted it out.
Still lined up the end grain on both pieces though, just in case!

Seeing yours how about having the outer on a near round shape, there would have to be a join and the only way would be to have the inner a light coloured wood and the outer being pyrographed as to hid the join. OK I'll get me coat or at least go and try it in the shed

Eh? I'm a bit lost on this one?
You could only do this on a half bowl to do one on say a sphere it would need to be done in two halves
Oh I see!
The pyro bit threw me. I deliberately avoided the pyro on this one as so many are doing it now.
The pyro bit was just something that jumped to mind to hide a join there could be other ways, but me being me had to think of the simpliest thing or I confuse myself

I think this is very impressive Neil. I'm not sure I would want to hide the join.
