Lost wood vessel
It's been a long time since I posted here, this is my latest turning.
Lost wood turning process refers to a technique that removes a predetermined amount of wood from a turning after it comes off the lathe to transform it into a different shape; It now has an elongated oval shape like a football. I’ve seen vases that were made this way.
The wood is the most figured African mahogany I’ve ever found, and it was given to me for free.
This bowl was 18” square before I cut it; I used oak as the sacrificial wood. Now it measures: 11” wide, 18” long and 4” high
The other materials in this bowl are: Yellowheart and Corian. The finish is Tung oil and Wax.
This bowl was made using stacked ring lamination (a bowl from a board),
It has 5 layers; at 7/8" thick each. No wasted wood here, it was way to nice to turn it into sawdust.
I'm adding this one to my personal collection.
