thanks charles for these pics now i know that jim burr can cut a crotch into a bowl with no problem:) you dont it without the foot.. if i were to quess you cut from the side and then sanded out the left over?
 
well chas,, i give up. i am not a turner, and wont be but i do like to look at there work.. dont know how yu pulled this off so when others chime in, i will wait for the answer:)
 
Alright Chas, You gotta 'splain how ya dun it? Please?

(Curious minds want to know. And Larry too):rofl:

I don't think a vacuum mount would have worked, because of the bark.

Very nice looking, for sure.

Aloha, Tony
 
No, the central bowl was turned as normal facing the tailstock without tailstock support. :)

Aha! You've got some of that much sought-after magnetic European Cherry wood. :p

Seriously, I'm very curious how you pulled this off. The end result is great. :thumb:
 
Face Plate, huh? Must have been a pretty big one then to be able to use the plate clamps like we use for irregular shapes. The configurations are limitless.

Am I getting warmer?

Aloha, Tony
