President's Challenge, June 2015

After ribbing my good friend and fellow KZbinr, Todd Clippinger ( / toddclippinger , I set out to find a way to make an "embellished" turning. Since I am terrible at things like carving and coloring wood, I looked to one of my woodturning fortes: multi-axes, to find some clever and novel way to embellish a bowl right on the lathe.

As a fanatical but amateur turner I'm always hungry for knowledge and new techniques so this video met all of my needs. Really great turning so many thanks. Alan in Ireland.
