At tonight's club meet Bob Langford took to the figurative skies with his winged bowls demonstration.

When you first see these gorgeous and  unusual bowls you wonder how such an effect could even be achieved on a lathe, but Bob expertly demystifies the process by showing a "safe" method (because fingers are precious) and a slightly trickier method for the brave and the skilled.

Stay tuned for the videos which will be posted soon.

Shane demonstrates how, after cutting two outer rings, a well designed bowl can be turned.  By adding a couple of beads on the side and a design on the base, the bowl jumps out with elegance.  The use of sharp tools make the job look very easy and leaves a very smooth finishing cut.  

Watch Shane share his ideas on how to recover from an excessively hollowed bowl using "Butterfly Wings" method.

On wood harvesting, cutting, preserving, drying, rough turning and other key tips.
