Tri Cornered Bowl

[Derek]

This bowl is made from American Black Walnut. I cut out a equilateral triangle and carfully centred it on a screw chuck shaped the outside and the underside of the wings. reverse chucked in a scroll chuck skimed the wings and turned the bowl inner, reverse chucked again this time in the cole jaws to finish the foot.
The whole thing was sanded on the lathe to 400grit, removed from the lathe and marked out for piercing. I used a dremel with a fine diamond burr to do the piercing followed by more sanding to 400 grit to remove any stray wood fibres.
Finish is Danish oil.
Measurements are 6" along each edge stands 1 3/8" tall the wings are 1/8" thick

C&C welcome

Wow, talk about doing it the hard way. I'd have turned the bowl and cut the equilateral triangle out afterwards, you must have be worried the corners were going to get knocked off.

My hats off to you, great effort and a fantastic result. It looks the bee's knees.

Just looking at this again and reading Bryan's comments made me wonder if anyone making winged bowls these days bothers to use sacrificial side pieces anymore?

[Derek]

Glad you like it.

I tried to us the full width of the board that I had otherwise it would have been just too small for what I wanted, when turning it I made sure I was out of the firing line and took gentle cuts when the wings became a little thin.

Hi Derek, this is one incredable piece, the layout, form and detailed work.
It's good your commentary on how you carried out the Procedures.

Well done   David
