Wood Turning The Segmented Star Bowl

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wow, Gary, just wow. You are made to do this kind of project. You have the mind, patience and demeanor to see it through to it's glorious end. It is just so beautiful, from your initial design, to the contrasting woods to the excellent finish. Simply gorgeous! Well done, my friend! Phil

[@ThePapa1947]

Well Phil I am honored by all of your kind words. They are most appreciated and mean the world to me coming from you. Thank you so much my friend, Gary P.S. next week back to junk wood....

[@thomasbone5498]

sorry Gary i should have writen my full name Thomas RobertBone, England on my EMail to you, but as every one calls me bob so I think every one know me but they do not Bob England. But I do Like Your Work its Great.

[@ThePapa1947]

@@thomasbone5498 no problem. Makes sense now. Thanks

[@Keiths_Shopsmith]

Gary, I love watching your ‘instructional’ videos. As a new turner, they are very informative and inspiring. This star gave me an idea to try doing the ‘Texas’ star with the outer circle. Thank you!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Keith and let me know how the star works out for you. Gary

[@donaldadams5342]

Gosh, I'm lost for words & that doesn't happen very often. I love the selection of woods to use & everything about this project. Thank you, thank you, Don.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Don and I think I have to start making these smaller. Hard to find a place to sit them. I have plans to build a shelf that will hold this one and 2 others on a slight angle. We had planned to get rid of the 1904 piano we have but that did not happen again..lol That was another project done almost 40 years ago. We stripped it down and refinished it and I made a few trim pieces to replace damaged ones. Gary

[@Ronalcock1]

Gary that is the most BEAUTIFUL bowl I have ever seen, you are a Star

[@diannamacdonald976]

What a beautiful bowl! If I were a math teacher, I would show this video to my students in reply to the question of “when will we ever use this in real life?” This shows how there is beauty in the application of math to creative pursuits. I absolutely love it!💕

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much. Math is very useful. I always have loved math and used it daily in my job as a wood pattern maker. Still use it as an old retired guy. Thanks for watching and your comment. Gary

FANTASTIC work! Really amazed at how you figured out all of the angels.

Thank you Thomas. I did draw it in a CAD program but the fact that it has 6 segments make the angles all 60 degrees which helps. Just knowing off of which surface is where the drawing helps. Thanks again, Gary
