Wavy Bowls

[John Beaver]

These are part of a new technique I'm working on. I call it my "wavy" bowl series.
I'm still experimenting with the technique as well as what form works best with the "wave."

[David Christopher]

John, those are beautiful... can you tell us more about the technique

[David E Keller]

Very cool look. I like all of them.

[Tom Hamilton]

John those are very cool. How did you do that, especially number 3. Thanks, Tom

[Richard Madison]

Great looking work John. You will want to be careful about issues with cross grain joints.

[William Payer]

I like them all John. Please give us a little tutorial on how these are done.

[Scot Roberge]

These are really nice accents to turnings that are already beutiful examples of your work, John. Definitely have the "how'd he do that" factor. I'm guessing you are roughing the forms out on the lathe, then cutting them apart and gluing back together with accents between the pieces, then finalizing the form back on the lathe.

[Darren Mullin]

great looking bowls. My favourite is #4. I am just learning to turn bowls. It looks like I have a lot to learn

[Moshe Eshel]

I won't even guess, the wave form just makes it very difficult with any technique I thought of... In my opinion these are really nice bowls, beautiful even, regardless of the technical achievement - they just look GOOD!

[Jim Kountz]

Very nice looking bowls!! I too would like to know more about the making of the wave series!!

[Steve Mawson]

Yep I agree with everyone else. Pretty neat, I will be waiting for the tutorial as well.

[Tom Baugues]

Wow....simply beautiful.

[Gary Conklin]

Those are great #2+3 are my favorites. Love it! Tutorial???

[Bernie Weishapl]

Those are great looking pieces. I like #3. How did you do those?

[Barry Stratton]

Very nice idea!

Have you tried it on a natural edge bowl? Mimic the bark curve with the wave....
