Have a beautiful piece of camphor on my lathe. Would like to create a "angled bowl" as finished product - that is - bowl sits flat like normal but rim is angles so can see inside of bowl without peering down into it. Picts of current status and desired final shape attached.
Have thought of:
1. Cutting foot at angle then using glue block at opposite angle so can still turn round.
2. Cutting rim at angle before turning inside - doubt this will work due to inherent wobble cause of weight differences
3. Doing same as 1 but at rim/top then knocking off angled piece after turning. Have discounted this one as well due to concerns about breaking rim when try to part the two pieces and potential of joint breaking during turning.
4. Making bowl as normally would, then cutting rim at angle - most likely by making line for cut then using dremel. Considered bandsaw but concerned about safety and blowing up nearly finished bowl
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
