Tri wing bowl

[SVB]

Tried something a little different this afternoon - made a tri-wing bowl trinket dish. (Made from a cube so how does it end up with three wings, not four - makes my head hurt!)

We'd need photo's from other perspectives - particularly from the top - to have any chance of answering that.

Thanks J-G - it was more of a rhetorical / ironic question - the cube was turned between corners so you do this three wing effect from the diagonal section of the six faces - still makes me smile though - a triangle out of a cube, turned on something designed to make cylinders!

...a triangle out of a cube, turned on something designed to make cylinders!

Ooooo .... I do like that.

As you can tell I didn't think it through in any depth

Here's one I made some time ago but from 3 triangular scraps of Imbura (and Ash)

Simon, that looks great, what size is it? Definitely something I want to try, what wood is it?

This one is only small - started with a 3” cube.

Not 100% sure of wood as came out of box of off cuts I keep under bandsaw to burn or use as waste blocks etc. Think it may be sapele or iroko - close, straight n boring grain. Tiny bit oily / waxy to work with.

Great job. They are enjoyable to make, I made my first one quite a few years ago and certainly have to remember the corners flying about

Looks very good Simon
I saw Phillip Greenwood demonstrate this technique on a tea light holder many years ago in York, this was my interpretation of his holder.

Then you go one or two steps further & make them into hollow forms

These were from 3" oak cubes.

This is my list of things to make before I die.

I hope you are young as the wish list can get very long.
