Finished Some Pieces

Barbara Gill, Remlik Virginia

>After I got my Oneway last April I needed to turn the 12 magnolia trenchers that had been ordered (that really got tedious). I also needed to rough out most of the wood I received in trade down at the Gainesville Symposium. I am just now getting some pieces finished up and out on the shelf. Here are a couple of pictures.

This is a Cuban Mahogany Ikebana Vase. It is 7 3/4" x 2". The kenzan (cup with frog) was left high for both function and appearance, giving the impression of a black bead.

>Barbara,

The bowls are very nice!

Just have to say that I am going back home to Chesterfield in September and my Mom used your workshop to try to lure me into coming a few days early. I am sorry to say that the tickets had already been purchased or it would have worked.

Maybe next time...

>Nice Barbara. Of the three that I saw I like the vase the best. Don't know what happened to the fourth one but I'm sure you will repost.

>Thanks Jeff. I copied and pasted the pic location just as I did the rest. I wonder how the mistake got in the URL?

Probably not the most difficult

>but my favorite out of the group is the curve of tulip shaped bowl. I guess that I'm old fashioned.

Very nice!

>E,

Term's a bit archaic, but still used, and refers to wooden serving platters or large plates.

Yes, its also means the guy or machine (or both) that digs ditches.

Yes, there is no accounting for the vast anomolies in the English language.

Very nice, Barbara...

>Mark gave you the definition of trencher. It sounds a lot better than "wooden plate that someone is going to eat off of".

I LOVE the Oneway and thank you.

Very nice Barbara.

Dave Smith

>Hi Barbara,

I like the frist one the best. Where did you get the frog cup? The ones I have don't look like that. Keep up the good work.

Maybe a new lathe would help my turning in Longview, WA

>A friend's wife was able to get them for me. I think that Craft Supply and maybe Packards also carry them.

>I have been trying my hand at turning this form. I have been having a particularly hard time getting the thickness uniform where the top curves to the bottom. What tool do you use to make these cuts? Is it something that you make specifically to reach that area? Could you share?

>I haven't seen many things turned from Paulownia. I have a +/-30" Paulownia that fell in my yard this past Spring. Now I know what to do with it.
