Mounting Wood on a Lathe particularly for small opening vessels

[djvanduy]

Wanted to share an article that covers the mounting methods of wood blanks on a lathe that I wrote. Alot of the mounting methods are pretty straight forward stuff, however I also discuss the method I use for mounting blanks intended for small opening vessels. Particularly natural edge vessels. Currently I shoot for openings around 10% of the vessel diameter so that poses some mounting challenges.

As someone that has never touched a wood lathe, your write-up excellent! Thanks for sharing. I always appreciate when someone so knowledgeable shares their experiences and opinions.

Thanks, especially for the writing comments. I don't consider myself a very good writer just one of the many things that you have to get better at doing this.
