Wall-art in progress, second view.
Stave-built blank assembled and sitting on the studio floor, viewed from above.
Two bases for a table at this scale begin as stave-built blanks. Each segment cut, fitted, and glued before the lathe touches it.
End face of the blank showing the large steel faceplate bolted on, yellow strap wrapped around the blank.
The steel faceplate was custom-fabricated by a friend who owns a metal shop. At 24 inches across, it was the only way to get it done.
Blank suspended from ceiling hoist on yellow straps, faceplate end toward the lathe headstock.
A ceiling hoist does what no lift could.
Blank hanging from hoist, closer view approaching the lathe.
Getting a piece this size onto the lathe is an engineering problem before it is an art one.
Two blanks in the studio: one partially turned on the lathe, the second segmented blank waiting on the floor.
