Hi 👋, Gary, In some respects woodturning is a new adventure for me as I used to be or am a Specialist joiner come cabinet maker now retired for the past five years, At 70 years young I am still learning, Especially watching tutorials like yourself creating pieces of art. Each day is a adventure watching and learning and listening and then go and have a play to see what I can make. I have two wood lathes, one is a 1949/50 Wadkin RS 8 , with a inverter drive, and Kontour 1500A . Also with inverter drive , I purchased these back in the late nineties to make components for church organs and I had a contract to make thousands of pepper mills salt mills , These were semi automatic set ups. Now using turning chisels, Just feel as if I’ve gone back in time, The experience is great. Keep up the good work and look forward to the next territorial. Phil from the moulin France.

Nice three winged bowl. Some times they can be a challenge to turn depending on the wood used. The biggest concern about turning this type of bowl is keeping your fingers. Last one I turned was from plywood from the big box store. It can be a big challenge keeping the wood from tearing out by the three corners. Best to use pine or Baltic birch plywood. Don’t use oak plywood. I won’t tell you how I know, but it was a disaster.

That seems like a lot of wood to waste. I wonder if a bandsaw jig could be made to cut the cube in half through the tree corners. Then you would have blanks for two, three-corned bowls, and they would be easier to mount on a screw chuck.

Hi Gary, I watched your video and Phil Anderson’s and decided I’d like to make one. I wasn’t sure I could hold the work in the lathe as you did and I was correct.

Well they are slow going compared to a round bowl. Sounds like your doing fine.

That was a very good result, Gary. Never know it was your first attempt. I've wanted to try one of these but haven't had the right piece of wood for it. That and my embellishing has been a bit too extensive, lately. I need a few straightforward projects and that amount of hand sanding doesn't look appealing, at the moment. Glad polishing pastes are so effective by hand. I suppose a person could get a buffing ball to buff the inside of the bowl and use a regular wheel for the outside when it comes to polishing. Yeah, that might save a little bit of elbow grease. Thanks for showing us your fine results and have a great week!
