More turnings

While the glue is drying on the segmented bowl I started this bowl. First picture is why I like segmented turnings less chips:rotflm:

Wow! What are the dimensions of that bowl?

It is about 11 1/2 X 3 1/2 the paper that I had stored with the blank said that it was Buckeye?

Nick, I may have to come and get some turning lessons from you. I could never get my walls that thin :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

It looks great, but I don't get it. When you say segmented, does it mean you glued it up, and therefore you have more shavings?:-?

Nick,

You may have been out of commission for awhile with the recovery from your surgery, but you sure didn't let any rust gather on your skill level! Beautiful work! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

This bowl was from a solid blank so there is more waste. See my other post on segmented bowl WIP. Thanks Nick

 

[sapwood]

Wow, that looks great Nick. I can't believe how consistently thin you turned it. And it's big enough to be a punch bowl :eusa_clap

Do Buckeye trees grow anywhere other than Ohio?

silly :-D

 

[michaelgarner]

let me add my comment of that is a great turning, and it seems that you have mastered getting the walls as thin as you would like. Great job friend and be blessed.

 

[cskipper]

Silly, probably, but I really was asking if they grow places than Ohio.

 

[NCPete]

I'm going to go look it up. curiosity.
from the Ohio Division of Forestry.
from Wickipedia

The bit from Wickipedia mentions a Mexican Buckeye, too. So I guess the tree, or varieties of it, are not specific just to Ohio, or that area.

Do Buckeye trees grow anywhere other than Ohio?

The Buckeye, Aesculus spp. grows up and down the Southeast and there are species native to Texas and California. Aesculus glabra is known as the Ohio Buckeye (and from which, Ohio get their name) but it can be found from Pennsylvania to Nebraska, Kansas and Alabama. Many species in the genus are also know as Horsechestnut, not to be confused with "....roasting on a open fire" and the almost extinct wood, Castanea dentata -American Chestnut.
Aesculus parviflora - Bottlebrush Buckeye, is the most beautiful of the species to use in a landscape setting. It's a large multi-stemmed shrub with 10" long, 3" wide white bottlebrush like flowers in June-July.
I have no clue as to which of the species Nick's turning is made from
(see how easily I returned back to the tread from my blatant hijack :-D)
