Denny came up with something I have never seen or heard of for February’s turners meet. The object was to start with a fork in a branch and end up with this.
First you have to create a flat spot to mount the face plate. You start by leveling out a templet with wedges then use a router to make a flat level spot through the bark
Now your ready to mount the face plate and start turning.
Better watch you fingers. With some of the weight gone you can take some off the back and then hollow out the bowl,
You end up with lots of shavings and a most unusual bowl.
