"The Pharoah"

Very impressive. Was there another half to give it balance?

Keith,
like this a lot -
What is the size?

I had an idea to do some blind hollowing using video and a template.
Did you use any video for the wall?

i love this Keith , question is a bandsaw used ?

wow very impressive, the 'how to' has got me

Great work Keith. Good to see you posting on the AAW site again.

Very impressive. The "how to" got me also if done in one piece unless glued reassemble at an angle in the back (large wall beginning of the spiral) was done after finishing the inside of the end of the spiral and before finishing the outside of the end of the spiral. Great work Keith.

Thanks for the kind comments. I'll try to answer all the questions at once....This started out as a full circle; to save wood, half the circle was made of poplar, half walnut. Remove the poplar, only the walnut half remains. There is no blind turning involved, but there is more than one turning here, the glue joint is a 90 degree joint, created on the lathe. The pieces are from the same blank, so when put back together, the joint(s) are precise, making the connections invisible. The process, if I showed, is actually quite simple.
