Hope this looks ok to you guys!! This is my first attempt at off axis turning. Ok well except for the one I broke. Guess it is my second try at it. It is out of spalted maple and is 5"x3". I didn't want to waste much wood. Let me know of any pointers, and yes I screwed this one up but do see it myself. It was a learning process. Thanks Zack

Zack, not bad at all for the first attempt.
Infact it's a learning process, like every new kind of turnings.
Anyway you are brave enough to pick up a new challenge, that's the right attitude!!

Thanks

Hopefully I will get better. I used a four jaw chuck to do this. I would love to see some pictures ore more off axis turnings.
 
Hi Zack, you mentioned about seeing other examples of off centre turning. A small goblet of mine I did it as a impromptu demo at the club I go to. I used a scroll chuck the same as you. Keep practising, it's not hard to do, believe me if I can do it anybody can.
