Fun with oval turning - n7bsn - 03-01-2018
I recently started using my oval chuck to try some hollow forms.
This one is fairly small 3 inches tall and 3 x 4 wide
Wood is cherry (from the firewood) the small holes are an included branch that fell out

Very cool I like it, do you have any photos of it on the lathe?

I like it plus put a mouth and two ears on it and you have a head.
Also how did you hollow it out or were you able to do the whole thing?

Nope, but I used the Vicmarc VOD set for r=5 with one weight.
I tried a similar one with r=25 and oval was too narrow on the short side and I was force to hollow through an effective hole about 1/2 inch in diameter.

Is that the VOD?
I’ve had one for several years and I pretty much had to forget everything I knew about turning to use that thing. I made some interesting bowls with it tho’.
