http://robbie-graham.blogspot.com/2010/03/yew-vessel.html
Artist Woodturner from New Zealand. Tuesday, March 2, 2010. Finish: Haarlem oil and wax. This is another three-sided piece using multi axis, three top and three bottom plus the centre for the rounded form and turning the inside. I haven't turned much yew and found this piece beautiful to turn. The fine grain works well with this small piece, one of the smallest pieces in this series. C and C welcome.

Artist Woodturner from New Zealand. Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Turning over a new leaf". New piece called "Turning over a new leaf. The piece is Tawa and Jarrah. It is about 350mm long and is off set turned to 8mm at the thick end and 3mm at the small end. The pieces of wood are leftovers from mutant two. I must admit I nearly gave up on this piece as It went through a stage where I hated it but I'm glad I persevered and finished it. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Artist Woodturner from New Zealand. Thursday, May 20, 2010. Woods: Vessel, Matai. Leaf and Stem, Jarrah and Tawa and the tongue, Rewarewa driftwood. The seed pod is based on a deformed Pittosporum seed, which had two sections instead of three and thought it would work well with this piece. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Artist Woodturner from New Zealand. Sunday, May 17, 2009. Richard Raffan's tubes on the last NZ Creative Wood Magazine and tubes by Dick Veitch inspire this piece. I wanted to have a go at one for a while, so here is my version of a tube. It is turned from green branch Rhododendron that had a bend in it and was hoping that the stress in the bend would allow it to distort when dry. Links to this post. Sunday, May 10, 2009. Dowels: Jarrah, Black Maire, Matai, Rimu, Lemon, Macrocarpa, Osage orange. Timberly...

Artist Woodturner from New Zealand. Wednesday, May 30, 2012. Wood: Matai and driftwood. I turned this piece using waste wood to create the three sides instead of turning on three axis. I could get the wall thickness even this way with out having to carve the inside. The process needs refining and think it will be a lot easier next time. Links to this post.

Artist Woodturner from New Zealand. Saturday, April 10, 2010. Lake Taupo Woodturning Jamboree 2010. Another great Jamboree has come and gone. We have had great feedback from quite a few participants which is great. There were forty five lathes this year, which was up on last year and it was great to see nearly all used. I would like to thank Roger Maybe from the Hawke’s Bay club for bringing extra lathes. Looking forward to the next one and maybe I’ll get a bit more turning done! Links to this post.

Artist Woodturner from New Zealand. Monday, July 20, 2009. New piece of woodturning. Texture: Pyrography and painted. I turned this out of a piece of wet Rhododendron to about 2mm thick and let it dry before doing the pyrography. It has a rounded bottom, which makes it rock if bumped, hence the name Balance. The photo isn't the best sorry. I found that no mater what light source I used the pale wood over exposed and if I set the exposure for the bottom part of the vessel the picture came out too dark!
