    Off-Center Bowl

    This summer I went to the AAW Symposium in Albuquerque, where I picked up a Woodturning Design magazine. An article by Paul Stafford described how to turn a closed form bowl with an offset opening. I basically followed his turning method, with a few minor changes to accomodate my equipment. I was happy with the results and have had yet another vessel "confiscated" by LOML. Comments?

    Bob,
    I love it! This is not just a turning, it's art, and it's fun.
    Just cut off the parts that don't look like a bowl...

    Very nicely executed. How long did it take to do with the carving included?

    Can you do one for 4000 marbles?

    I was looking at that same magazine the other day and I have been eying up the same thing! The only problem is my collection of marbles is well over 4000 so I will need a "BIG" one!!
