    Mobius

    I just finished this mobius. The wood is bloodwood and maple. Malcolm told me the number of bowl segments required but not how to assemble them. I have to admit that it took me 3 or 4 hours to figure it out. I am trying to keep up with Richard Madison a few miles up the road in Wimberly but he sets the bar pretty high. Critque welcome.

    Very nice work Harvey. What are the dimensions, and how many halves and quarters does it have?

    Harvey, congratulations. Not many turners are brave enough to attempt this. It's a lot of time invested before you know if it's going to come together.

    Sounds like you need to start with 3 1/2 bowls. Not sure where to go from there.


    Very nice piece, Harvey. I also aspire to be able to do one of these someday.
