Challenge of the Day: How extreme could an open segmented bowl be made using this or similar approach? I was thinking of making the base wider, more smaller shapes & bow ties and perhaps a couple of layers.
I think the smaller shapes could only be made from the burl. Regular wood, with year rings, would not give you enough strength. Even at this size, you got a wood chip, and surprisingly only one chip.
@@clockmakerify Hi Valery. I agree and wish I could get a lot of big sized burls to play with! The alternatives I thought could also work was to orientate the grain circumferentially, or to keep axially but place sacrificial wood in the channels, may also work.
@@RayWhitbyCreations Good luck with your incredibly beautiful art. I agree with you that the second option is theoretically possible, but practice can give you so many surprises.
I came up with an idea. Make a locking vase out of birch, redwood, ebony... turn it into a unique flowing shape. Sand and polish. Then pour clear epoxy resin around it but inside the resin put gold flakes off of eBay. It’s thin stuff so you have to be careful stirring it into the epoxy. Then re-turn the piece again...sand and polish. That would be cool!
Is there a clear material strong enough to hold the pieces together while it's being cut to take the place of the bowties so it looks like the segments are floating
I watched a few of your films. They all have a common denominator: they present works that are very time-consuming and very interesting. And that's what makes these movies so attractive. Congratulations
Thanks so much for your feedback. It took around 10 prototypes before I could get the final configuration. Certainly required a little OCD to get it done. Take care. Ray
So many careful, well-thought-out cuts and angles. I started to think my brain didn't work on enough dimensions to understand where you were going. Then the final piece worked in such a satisfying way. Awesome.
Thanks Dave. It was a project of many attempts till I got it to a point where I could turn it and even then I was expecting this thing to fly off the lathe at any moment. those bow ties worked a treat! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. All the best. Ray
Awesome. If I saw that sitting on a shelf I would have never guessed that it was turned on a lathe. I would have thought it was put together like a puzzle. Awesome job.
Thanks so much for the encouragement! I do wonder if someone can machine the pieces on a 5-axis CNC router and then fit together as a jigsaw puzzle. Take care. Ray
Thanks Bruce, your feedback is greatly appreciated. I'm fascinated by what it took to develop this design, the iterations it took to finally figuring out what might work. That it held together on the lathe was a surprise too! All the best. Ray
I thought, great... another perfectly good turner using resin to hold it all together... I am seriously happy I decided to watch your magic turn perfectly good wood into perfectly good wooden art. It turned out beautiful (pun intended).
Thanks Max. What's surprising is that a lot of people actually want me to do this project in resin. Thanks for watching and commenting. All the best. Ray
Thank you so much for the encouragement! The double helix video had a lot more maths and geometry in it and I had to invent a jig to make a new type of woodworking cut, but I am really happy with this project. All the best. Ray

woodturning floating triangles with bowties good job boss look you have talent for this art thanks for sharing new friend here from Bali watching see u
Fantastic! The shape and color of the bow ties made a spectacular bowl. Genius and patience to pull it all together. Great artist and thanks for sharing. Be safe.
This is Easily one of my Favorite TOP 5 Turned pieces of Art. So easy on the eyes, and yet to delicate and complex. Such an inspiration. Thanks for Sharing. Minutes 2:50 * 3:13 - saw blade tone blends with music. Happy accident?!?
Thanks Judith. It was a long shot and it could have all flown apart, but the bow ties worked well. I should try a follow-up project. Thanks for watching and commenting. All the best. Ray
Thank you very much! I appreciate your feedback! An upcoming video will be using 3 jigs and well over 100 butterfly joints. Totally insane project, which i hope you'll enjoy too. All the best. Ray

As a person who enjoys every form of art I totally understand what you're saying.. I mostly just drawn paint but I want to learn pottery, how to sculpt, woodturning, and resin tying it all together... But I believe you have the skills to do it all as well, because I saw how meticulous and the quality of detail you wanted to put into your piece.
Hi Ray, I have no idea how you do this and keep it all together. I saw you had a corner to fix, a minor issue, which as Bram said if you hadn't shown no one would have known. Ray your work is incredible. Superb Ray. Cheers, Huw
