Abstract wall turning
« on: June 11, 2011, 09:56:41 PM »
Hi All,
Its been a while since I last posted or turned anything due to work and family commitments. I started this piece wayback in February and thought it was about time it was completed.
The wood is sycamore that has been stained black before being turned. The cente section is also sycamore and has been textured and stained.
The centre part is fixed to the side parts by glued dowels and held apart/supported by two stainless steel rods.
Overall size 410 by 280 mm.
Regards
Ken

Ken, that is one delightfully beautifully detailed piece, like it..  shame I'd not come up with it first..   >:( ...     :D ...   ;D ....
 jokes a side, nice to see it finished, the wait was worth it, well done..  I've still some to finish as well, then it's the time to take pictures that are clear.. work backs up an one can just spin wheels..

Hi Ken

I think it's a magnificent piece of work.  If I;d made it I;d be loathe to sell it.

Cheers Dave

Hi Ken, It's like with any decoration, likes an dislikes change with the colour of the day, this piece is however, a family heirloom, if only in the attic in years to come..  enjoy your wonderful work.. I do.
