Three pointed/three sided forms

[John Plater]

All unfinished pieces but done as "sketches" in 3D before demonstrating to club members. The topic was three sided bowls in case you hadn't noticed  Left  is a fairly standard item from a London Plane offcut. It always annoys me how wasteful the process can be so I cored it with a straight cut. From the core came the middle one of the three. I tried undercutting the hollowing to give an interesting shape on the edge. On the right is a form made from laminated birch ply. This time the core was made into the base. Comments welcomed.

Of the three, it's the birch ply that works the best and I especially like the plinth - great idea to cut it out of the core. My feeling about the London Plane is that rustic pieces of wood, with natural voids, doesn't lend itself well to precision pieces such as this. Most three-sided pieces look light and airy, but the weight of the wood and the indelicacy of its features fights against that concelt.
