Works of wood turning    [Page38]

Mar. 23/2008
Segmental & Inlaid bowl from scraps

I did inlay after a long time. I use the handmade slide table for the woodcraft lathe.A trimmer is installed in the table.
1.I reformed the base of the slide table.The previous base was SPF material.This is hardwood. The T slot bar of aluminum is embedded in the base.
2.The slide table moves smoothly.I think that a good work is finished.
3.I ditch it to 24 places around by installing the slide table in the lathe, and using a triangular bit of 90 degree.
4.The black one is ebony. The white is bonding of the ebony of 1.5mm to cherry wood. I think that the gluing had better divide the top and the bottom into twice.I turned it after dry.
5.Next, I make a lid.I exchange to the button-jaw. and I turned face of lid. Because I put a spiral pattern in the knob, I put a ø6mm cherry wood in the center of the knob.After that, I set a slide tables diagonally and I dig a ditch.I glue together three pieces of inlay,and I shave it.I repeat three times.
6.It was completed. Eyes seem to turn if the knob is seen.Beeswax finish.200mm Dia * 150mm Tall.
