2 saved pieces

[donwatson]

Hi All,
Saved 2 pieces this week that the turner (me) had accidently ploughed through.
Plate 1 is Horse Chestnut with a Meranti saver.
Plate 2 is Sycamore with a Sapele saver.

C & C welcome

Don, it happens, nicely saved, you'd taken to use the timbers at hand, may not have been the best choice, yet it works, one consideration is the difference in timbers and with the grain alignment, the timbers are no doubt well seasoned and shouldn't move, but any movement could crack the bowls/joints.

Cheers  David

I love this sort of thing. Who would have ever know it was done from necessity

Good saves. I've only done this once when I went through a platter, but it is satisfying to save a piece that went wrong. Malcolm.

Don,

I think if you hadn't told us they were saves we'd never have guessed. Good save and nice looking pieces out of it.


(Now if only the England goalkeeper can do as well!)

design oppertunities

I love this expression. Turners never make mistakes they just give themselves design opportunities

Don you are not the first and certainly won't be the last to do this, I dare say virtually everyone on this forum has turned through the bottom at sometime. not all of us will have saved it so nicely, well done.
Byran let's try to keep this a football free zone
