Triple Vessel

Bradford Pear, about 8" by 8" by 10" high including finials. The rosewood finials are all the same size but look different because of foreshortening in the photo. This came from a triple crotch and turned on three centers, each located on the piths. Finished with Osmo polyx and buffed.

I have to ask, did you basically using hollowing methodology to do the undercuts on each box? I love the ingenuity and look of that amazing piece of art.

To do the exterior, the top of each vessel is turned conventionally. To get the bottom half of each vessel, I used a swan necked hollowing tool in reverse.

What sort of jig did you use for mounting? A faceplate, or some fancier contraption? That's an absolutely beautiful piece.

I turned between centers using a Robust safety center with the bowl drive attachment. I formed a 2 inch tenon on the bottom of each of the three branches, then used a standard chuck to form the outside shape and hollow each vessel
