... Lewis at last I've time ...
... and for your interest and others, it's four sided, turned parallel on multi-centre, on four plains with a 3/4" ( 3 quarter inch ) off set from centre, if this was the one which I did it too, I experimented with a few over a number of weeks, so which this is ..
.. having got a straight cylinder, it was marked at the ends into the 4 quarters, on centre for the off set, these where then divided once again and using the tool rest on centre, a line drawn only along the cylinder, at each point, this would be the finished corner, as the sides are radius, would it be 1 1/2" (1 an half inches ) the whole side width is 3" ( 3 inches ) as it's 3 1/4" ( 3 an quarter ) across the corners.
The piece was 3" ( 3 inches ) over length, as the ends had to be left round for the off set for the drive I have, so at the required length for the piece I sized down to almost the marked lines for the corners, then roughted between the length sized and down to or out to the line, a little pre-sandiing before repeating for the next 3 off sets, once happy and having the details all equal it was to cut the chuck mounting, having check for grain pattern, if any ...
.. part off the opposite end, the cylinder which had been for the off set, now the top, mount in chuck and first drill, then open an deepen the inside, bowl gouge and RS 200KT, that done and finished, it was mounded on a friction drive with the tail centre for support and the bottom rought shaped, cylinder removed, then down to hand sanding, trying to keep the straight line corners, sides and end wall thickness equal, reduce the bottom, blend in the shape, having sanded, come up with the colours, finish and polish, remove tail stock and slightly hollow base and finish. that's about it.
