Very nice piece, smooth lines, perfect choices of woods.

Interesting concept. Unique. I would have loved to see it spinning.

Hi all,
thanks for your comments. A little hint how to do. This technique I name "shadow turning". That means to use the becoming shadow if the object is turning. But you can only get a shadow, if the wood is not round. Therefore I remove very often wood in advance (p.e. by arbotech) I don't need for the finished piece. Then you get a shadow and by turning you can look trough this shadow to see your tool, your cut, the shaves and of capital importance the borders of your turned shape.
As example but only in German :

One of a kind and beautiful!
