Didn't have much time for turning today, but managed to grab a couple of hours to try out a few techniques that I hadn't used before. Only made one piece, a lidded bowl in zebrano, but used a few new techniques to achieve it.
I was working mostly from scraps of wood that I'd bought by the bag-load from Ockenden Timber, in Shropshire. The biggest issue seems to be the mis-match of colour in the three pieces used, but that's mostly down to the flash on the camera - in reality, they are slightly different, but not as much as the picture suggests.
The overall height is 20cm and diameter of the base is 12cm. it's my first real attempt at undercutting a rim of a bowl and at first I barely undercut it at all and was going to settle for a very thick-walled bowl, but I persevered and kept cutting a little more away until I felt too nervous to go any further.
All comments and criticisms welcome....Les
