On Friday the 8Th August I was very lucky to have world renowned woodturner Roly Munro
Link to Roly Munro Website in my workshop for a Master Class with four students and myself assisting.
Rolly started the day by demonstrating to the students how to turn a Hollow form and then cutting it in half on the bandsaw and joining it with a ring of wood turned and inserted in a groove to join the two pieces together to create a beautiful double bowl.
Neither myself or any of the students had seen anything like it.
Rolly then went on to supervise the students as they created their version of the form..
Here are some pictures from the day.
The day before I turned down the wet Oak blanks to a rough size and bagged them up ready for a quick start in the morning.
Wood for this course was kindly donated by Paul at

Rolly explaining how the day was going to progress and doing a drawing
The students were encouraged to do their own drawings to give them something to work to.

This is the complicated bit.

Well done Dave getting there now
This is how to do it Dave
Well done Charlie
Chris looks pleased with himself
No Dave that is not how it is done.
The end of the day unfortunately Adrian had to rush off and missed the group pic.
A great day had by all.
Thank you Rolly
