Responding to Wizer's reminder!

[Philip Streeting]

I have been reminded elsewhere that I haven't contributed here lately - I apologise for this.
I thought it might be of interest to post the beginning and eventually the end of a piece I am working on at the moment. It will have a series of new experiments and may not work out but here goes. These pics show the first stages 1st just before taking off the lathe. 2nd and 3rd the beginnings of off lathe decoration. I post more as the work progresses or not as the case may be!

Phil - this is fantastic. But, if it's 'off the lathe', how the sweet j****s did you do it?

 

[cornucopia]

Very very nice piece Phil
I would also be interested in knowing how you done the carving so neat :?

My guess is dremel or router in a banjo jig ?

 

[Philip Streeting]

Those who guessed router were right. This is literally the first try with my set up so it is not 100%. I experimented with both the equipment and various types of cutter. The method does look promising.

That looks great.
I've been meaning to try router effects on turned items for a while now - with the work still mounted and also with it removed.
Maybe I'll get round to it one of these days...

A stunning piece of work with great energy and zest.. It is refreshing to have people in turning who are prepared to rip up the template. I don't know Phil but would guess he has a professional art, design, and creative background to produce such work. Lets have more of you being prepared to rip up the template.

Is this the sort of work you produce.If so i'm sure we would all love to see some of it,as it it encouraging

 

[digazz]

great work Phil. very artistic. did you do the routing freehand or did you use a jig. I have major problems using a router even on the easyist lines/curves.
