    The art of funnel making

    I see a lot of post from people making funnels so I thought I would give it a try. Okay, I had all these test peices lying around the shop and just couldn't resist Sometimes turning for fun is more fun than turnig with a plan in mind.

    Nice one! LOL!

    But I think the quality of wood leaves something to be desired.

    Hey Mike. If you make 2 or more funnels the same size, with 45 degree sides, you could cut them in half and make a ribbon. Just a thought about funnels.

    Hi Mike
    Seems like a lot of work to make a funnel that way, I think I can show you an easier way
    Have fun and take care

    I like the overall design and the grain really stands out well but I think you need to open the tube part of the funnnel a bit to get better flow out of the piece as a whole.
