Utah Symposium '02 - Day 3

Click on thumbnail for full size image


A common mistake is to "maximize" wood use rather than pick and use the best features	At every step, Richard had props to show how and where his tool was cutting	An explanation of the possibilities for the "join"	The inside of the lid gets some finish

Richard demonstrates his back hollowing technique for quick material removal	He uses a rare earth magnet for marking his depth on his tools	Richard quickly finishes the outside shape as time runs low	For the 11th and last rotation of the symposium, I went to watch Petter Herrud

Thread chasing is done quite readily in hard, dense woods like this cocobolo	The threads can be formed and are sturdy	Petter has developed a way to do threads in epoxy for woods more difficult to thread	The epoxy is inlaid and then the threads are cut much like they would be in wood

With the top and bottom of a box threaded, Petter can use multiple centers to create many sides	Because it is way out of balance, care must be used in turning	A look at the 6 twisted sided box with threaded lid	The threads are very sturdy and hold up well

Petter re-handles all of his tools with elliptical handles	A look at some of Petter's other boxes, done in colors	After a wrap-up session, the conference ended at the end of a beautiful Saturday aftenoon
