Turning the Spiral Ribbon Finial

Turned a couple of these after seeing Matt Harber demo how on #WorldWideWoodturners.org. Now I’ve been asked how I do them. Here it is.

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

I’m still working on them myself. I’ll be looking for a larger saw bit. That should make it easier. Thanks for watching.

[@oldmanriverwoodturner]

Enjoyed the video. What happened to your Tuesday Live on 11-14?

[@wurzle001]

Doug was away overnight so done the video instead

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Thanks for watching Dale. Alex is correct, I had to be out of town. Plus, I’m trying to get myself into a routine of a Live and a video each week. Hope I can get there soon.
