Ken asked me to post some pictures of the turnings he made for me. So here they are in the steering wheel I've been working on. He did an excellent job on these and I'm very grateful to him for them.
The hub ends of the spokes have spar varnish on them but the rest is unfinished.

Wow...
I love seeing pictures of practical utilitarian projects made of multiple parts. (Like spinning wheels, clocks, tripods, and stuff like that.)
Good job on this thing. Crisp turnings, and great looking joints.
Now how about a picture of the boat Cap'n?

Ken and Dave,
That's a beauty collaborative project and it looks like it's strong enough to stand up to the abuse it will see in bad conditions. Can you let us know a bit about how it was built?
It looks like perhaps the outer ring was made as two segmented disks. The larger one must have been turned, trimmed along the inside, cut along the segments, and trimmed to fit. The smaller ring could have been tuned, trimmed and somehow cut down the middle with a carefully designed jig.
Did I guess right?

John......To my knowledge only the spindles were turned. Dave made a very accurate jig and routed the rest of the parts.
Ken
So much to learn, so little time.....
