Yep, I'm not worried about the waste and the pieces will have some defects in them because I'm turning them from firewood, so that bit will get chopped off and go in the burner.

The first one is done and I'll knock up the drawing plotting the ribs and the cut outs. I'll have to do that straight away as it'll split because the wood is quite wet still. They are made from riven wood so it should be quite stable if I hollow it out and dry it slowly. The carving will increase the surface area, so they should dry fairly quickly.

It stained the bed of the lathe quite nicely.

Pete, the scarf joint connects the rib to its corresponding "spoke" coming off the tas de charge cone. I'm going to make my life difficult by trying to make the model just like a timber vault with pegged carpentry joints, so the ribs will have a tenon going into a mortice on the cone.

I've recently bought a lathe, so there's no chance of me allowing myself to farm out the turning to someone else.
