Thanks everyone. Figuring out how to do these is the real challenge. Jack this one was turned on 7 axes, but then required quite a bit of carving to get to the final form. No way to actually produce the final form on the lathe.
Lionel, I started by turning the outside form, which is oval in X section and round from above. On this I laid out and drew the form/future edge. I then turned the 6 lobes on each axis, and hollowed the ends from both sides. From there it was all carving. Much harder to explain in writing than see it done.
Hope this helps some. Mike
