Off Off Axis Triangle Turned Bowl

Off Off Axis Triangle Turned Bowl

I did this one a while ago. In all of my off and off/off axis turning, I'm trying to get symmetry. This one was a pill to turn but a real reward when done. About 7 inches across by 3 1/2 inches high.
@brian horais It's a bumpy flight all right, but worth the effort.
The only "disappointing" aspect is that you can't really see the form until you turn it over.
I was thinking of making one like a dog bowl, dish on the small side and feet at the wide corners. I decided against it so far. But I am getting ready to chuck up another one soon... Maybe a lot bigger.
 
View media item 15194George, here's an approach I have used to add a multi-axis twist to a shorter object (like a bowl) by extending the length of the turning. The result can be very dramatic, as shown in this image:
