Multi Axis Woodturning Ribbed and Holey

http://www.AsWoodTurns.com This project is my third where I am emulating Max Brosi after seeing his demostrations athe the AAW symposium last summer in Raleigh, North Carolina. The other projects were his octahedron and his whale bone. Each of the three projects starts with a sphere, something that I've demostrated many times. It was interesting to hear someone else explain it a little differently. After turning a sphere, I had to mark for and cut 12 coves around the sphere. After the coves are cut, then I hollowed the sphere through the ends and allowed the hollowing to break through the lower middle section of the coves. Then clean up with carving tools. Other than turning an interesting project, I appreciate the many great ideas that flowed from completing these turnings. This is ornamental pear, very wet when I started. It is now finished with walnut oil. Enjoy! Blog: http://www.AsWoodTurns.com FB:   / aswoodturns
