I have a small collection of ceramics I've found interesting to look at as inspiration.
The shapes are normally translatable to woodturning but when you turn them to wood, it rarely works out. The way they meet the table surface, or the curves that look okay in clay do not look right in wood, all sorts of strange little things don't work out.
This is one of my attempts, the shape is easy and the upstand makes it sit easier on the surface, but when you look at the original and the small handles they did not work at all, I had to make them bigger to get them to look even remotely right.
It's been ebonised with Black nightmare (rust in vinegar) and then lime waxed to tone it down and give it a less woody finish
Size is 5" x 2½” (125mm x 62mm)
So please, as many comments as you like, I'm interested in any comments considering the differences between ceramic and turned wood.
