WIP Teapot

[Cwalker935]

I thought I would show a teapot as it comes off the lathe for carving and sanding. It's rough I know, but before judging the turning too harshly please recognize that there are six separate mountings and two separate bandsaw sessions to get to this point. It's virtually impossible to get perfect symmetry and alignment with all the different mountings. I am continuously refining my approach so that I can turn teapots with integral spouts and handles while simultaneously trying to develop ways to achieve differing forms.

Love your creativity ! How many hours to get to that point ?

Probably around 3 hours, but that's after many hours of figuring out the approach,
