Multi Axis Woodturning Ribbed and Holey

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!

good job and very good demonstration. Thank you for sharing. You are correct, these are inspirational towards creativity of other turnings... I hope... lol.

[@AsWoodTurns]

Hopefully, we have an ever increasing chain of inspiration.

[@valeriehenschel1590]

My favorite of the 3 also. I see ornaments, bases and stem pieces (like on a cake plate), and all kinds of beautiful options for this technique.

[@AsWoodTurns]

Absolutely a lot of options. Add beads instead of coves; beads and coves instead of coves. Top and bottom. wet and dry....

Would not believe that shape was possible if I did not see you in action! Well Done!

[@AsWoodTurns]

Now that you can believe it, what else could we do?
Alan

[@RealRuler2112]

Love this one! One of my favorite turning projects I've ever seen.

[@AsWoodTurns]

Agreed. I gave mine away - now my wife wants another.
Happy New Year

[@williamellis8993]

Another fun (?) project. It also looks like a Chinese lantern.

[@AsWoodTurns]

Maybe several on a cord???
Thank you William
Alan

[@jimremus9547]

I wonder how you could turn a multi axis lid or base?

[@AsWoodTurns]

Check out my infinite axis chuck.
Alan

[@glencrandall7051]

You're right. I could be a pumpkin. Well maybe if the coves were beads.

[@AsWoodTurns]

Well worth trying.
Alan

[@suzetteedwards7956]

Could you post those formulas? I want to try this.

[@suzetteedwards7956]

Actually, and the steps... mark each side in half again?

[@AsWoodTurns]

I've posted the formula in several videos. In fact if you replay this one, you'll see the 0.293xdiameter to the first corner and 0.414 x diameter for the length of a side.
Alan

[@pajonate]

Listen to your wife. She has a great taste in art, :-)

[@AsWoodTurns]

I try!
