Turned
Vase
|
|
These photos show some of the steps in turning a small
vase. (Technically, this is known as a "weed pot" because
it isn't
completely hollowed out; rather there is just a hole drilled down the
center.)
This was turned from a block of walnut.
It was
finished with three coats of boiled linseed oil and a final coat
of paste wax. Overall height: 5-1/4".

Turning Details
|
I started with a block of walnut approximately 3" x 3" x 7". After
mounting between centers, the block is turned to a cylinder, as shown below.
|
 |
After turning a slight tenon on one end, I removed the blank from
between centers and mounted it in my 4-jawed TeknaTool Nova chuck.
|
 |
Below, the tail stock is moved back into position to provide extra
support, and the vase begins to take shape.
|
 |
Here I've removed the tail stock and cut the top to it's
final shape. See how I drill out the center and finish the
vase on page
two...
