I love that Homer's "bed goes up" and "bed goes down" have become a running gag on the CNC. Puts a smile on my face every time. :D The bowl looks awesome. I like the more organic looking bowl rim you mention at the end. It fits the randomly placed spikes very well in my opinion.
This one feels much more spiky than the earlier one which felt more like udders than spikes. Both are beautiful and thank you for sharing these with us!
Certainly has a neat and unusual look. Visually, the piece has a fair amount of tension, and even "danger." It's the bowl for items you don't want other people to ever touch.
Creating the joints like that to expose them when carved really does add to the spikes and makes them feel connected to the bowl. Seriously so cool and impressive
Frank u are something else with turning and cnc work .... Ur the one I blame for me getting a cnc..🤣🤣 keep it up brother as always another awesome project......
That's very unique. Something completely different. The CNC table really opens up a whole new world of possibilities. All that hand forming though, wow that's some work. Sure turned out beautiful.
Scary on that catch. Happened to me on a cherry bowl. Days later I finally found that chunk on top of a row of clamps about 7 feet off the floor. Never saw it... Love all your wild creations BTW.
I think the edge just adds to the organic shape of it - some pieces can seem "too refined" and I think you got the balance right with this one even if it was a happy accident.
Really nice project. A thought I had for if you do another would be to have the plug ends of the spikes go all the way through the bowl to make an inner design.
5:20 You DO have a sled with a little clamp on it. It's in your hand. Use the t-track and some of those clever little clamps what go in the t-track. Problem solved! :)
