I saw Carl Jacobson make one on YouTube and had to try it. I thought it was going to turn out to make a huge mess but discovered if you keep the lathe slow it isn’t bad at all.

Very cool . I can imagine the shavings lol

That's a pretty interesting project for a turner.

Very cool. lol. That did look like a mess though.

 

[Rusty Nesmith]

Actually it isn’t any more mess than doing a wood bowl.

Rusty, probably all the blue spaghetti that I found disconcerting.

Awesome looking bowl. Way beyond my skill and comfort level of turning. Nicely done!

Very interesting.

 

[marecat3]

very cool

Turned out very nice, Rusty. I guess that's heavier than wood and you want to get it nicely centered. The finish came out excellent.

now that's just plain cool

That is too cool

I had to take it slow. I found it chips easy.

It was hard to get the mortise cut in. I think on the next one I am going to cut the ball in half on my bandsaw and use a faceplate to make it more solid.
