Why is Turning a Flower on a Lathe so Much Fun?
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I demonstrate turning a flower on a lathe using a skew and a very green branch or shoot. I show multiple examples and a big blooper! These are a great addition to a twig pot. If you find my videos helpful, you can buy me a virtual cup of coffee with this link. www.buymeacoffee.com/mikepeace3Y

You are doing on purpose with a skew that which I usually do by accident. Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Your flowers make a great craft show demo idea. Nice alternative to making tops.

You are right, thanks for the idea. The challenge could be getting fresh green shoots.
Good use of pruning pieces. Now I have another thing on my list of things to turn. As always, good video!

I first learned this technique after I bought a set of Colwin Way signature Skews. He put out a video on using the skews and these flowers were one of the projects that he used. I've also made these with a trumpet in the center. You make that first before pealing back the flowers. I've also used an air brush sprayer to put color dye on them. Great project though.

I will have to look for his video. I missed that one. I just bought an air brush!
That really was fun, Mike.Speed 2,500 plus? I've seen Christmas trees turned slowly in Lime that way, and,of course, mushrooms, which don't excite me. Must have a go at this, having plenty of green stock from wild trees in the garden. Thanks, Bernard.

Glad you enjoyed it. Having green shoots handy is essential.
That looks like the Record Power SC chuck. What jaws are you using?
@MikePeaceWoodturning

Those are pin jaws. Also great for drilling a 1 1/8" hole for initial bowl mounting.
Neat idea! Could you of turned the back of the flower first and then made the petals? Might be easier?

Possibly, but it would not provide any support for the cut.
