    Foxglove

    Same way like marrowbone, but with a twist effect
    Same wood, cherry-plum tree
    H 5 1/4" X dia max 1 7/8"
    Title following the shape like a digitalis flower
    Friendly,
    Lionel.

    Very nice effect on the multi-axis turning! I played with multi-axis in the past and had fun with it, but never got anything this nice.

    another nice one Lionel!! I enjoy your non-symmetrical in turnings. I will have to try a little more myself. It is kind of "looking left & right".

    That is very nice; it looks like a lot of work went into it. I like the contrast of smooth vertical curves and spiral twist.

    Nice job Lionel! I like off center turnings if it looks like it has a plan to it. This one does!
