2650. CROSS GRAIN HOLLOW FORM.pdf

This article will teach you all of the many small steps involved in producing a dramatic hollow form or other similar turning. It is a cross grain hollow form because the pith is turned intact so that it displays on two sides. This allows you to use the entire log section without eliminating the pith from the blank. The result is especially dramatic with species that have a sharp sapwood/heartwood contrast, species such as box-elder with lots of red, or in spalted wood. The article includes sections on selection of wood, laying out the blank for maximum effect, roughing out the form, drying the form, and finishing it once it is dry. Turning tips are included as are design suggestions. The article covers everything you need to know from the raw log to gallery ready finish.

* The greatest shortfall of magazines and books is the limited space they are able to devote to an article due to the cost of publication. The article must by necessity be compressed, as is the information provided. This is not a limiting factor with the internet.
