Hello chaps, Bill,I will try to lay it out as best I can I don't use
measures as such ,just think it up and turn it and modify as it
progresses,but I think it is,
about these,
the Bowl was finished dimention, 24in circum, by 7-1/2 across,by 6
deep.
the base was18in circum, by 5-!/2
across,by 1 thick
the top fin turned on the lathe, 2 long a 1space
the bottom finial turned on lathe2-1/2 to allow for a little
spigot in the base
the spiraled supports 12 long by 3/4 dia.
also a little spiral along the top of the bines/pitch was made with a
very small 1/4router beading bit,before hollowing,although the
supports are Oak I used
a thin stock support on my table,very tricky blew a couple before I
got it right,I milled the tops and left a little spigot on the
bottom,I suppose you could do anything you want,the tops were supposed
to be little thistles, but I'm a wee bit clumsy with the arthritis so
settled for milk churns,the bowl was Maple, turned on the lathe quite
thin but it is quite a strong wood and will hold,the angle of the
supports depends on the circumference of the bowl and the base,
you have to drill a very small hole where you want them to join the
bowl and insert a wee dowel, I used a matchstick for that, devilishly
cunning these Brits,
the base you can shape any way you fancy but best to use a heavy wood
for the balance,all these measurements are approx.and off the top of
my head,because it is all finished you see,so if you fancy just get
stuck in and have fun, MAC

That's what I think this group is for. Showing what can be done and trying
what other have done, and putting your own twist on it. It helps people
grow and take risks that they would not normally do. The amount of
suspended bowls I have seen are few and far between. I lean towards the
artistic side, so seeing the post really inspires me.
