Even more worried now, he doesn't appreciate wild and frenetic dancing females worshiping at his feet. :!: :!:

This was a spalted sycamore vase that flew off the lathe when the tenon snapped. It cracked a few pieces off the top and so I put it on one side until I could think what to do with it as I couldn't remount it.

This is my attemt at saving it


10" tall 4" dia thickness varied :lol:

Hey Pete, you wanna stay up late more often. That vase is pretty neat. You could always try to glue a sacrificial block on the bottom if you want to finish of the hollowing. But in the end it really does help if you can keep it on the lathe until you want to take it off. :wink:

I'm not wishing it on you, but it is nice to see other peoples problems. I don't have a great deal these days, but believe me I've had my share of un-piloted missiles orbiting my garage.

I tried gluing a block but the end grain was too soft to be secure.

Spalted Sycamore (I think) 10" tall, 3" dia at top, about 2mm thick sealer & wax

 

[PowerTool]

Like the spalted sycamore piece,unusual shape and lovely looking pattern.
The other vase is a nice shape,pity it decided to part company with the lathe

A couple more experiments.

These are both cedar finished with sealer & wax

This is 10" dia, bowl is 7" dia. Originally was thinking of texturing the rim hence have left the tenon on for the moment. More or less decided to leave it as it is as I like the simplicity of the shape with the sharp edges. Quite pleased with the finish. Have found cedar end grain a bit of a pig before. Perhaps my tool work is improving at least :roll:



This was an offcut. I just cleaned the edges and stuck it on the lathe to see what shape it would turn out at.
6" across, 3" tall

Photobucket playing up so no thumbnail link for this one. Sorry

Both work as far as I'm concerned Pete, not too keen on thick bodied bowls myself but that is a personal thing, knowing how awkward cedar can be to get a good finish on due to the differing grain densities I say you have done well.

The wings on the second one look as though they won out a bit in the battle of the nerves but many would wish they could tool it without the cedar tearing on those interupted cuts.
