Woodturning Inside Out 3 Stave Art Flame

http://www.AsWoodTurns.com

I had not completed a triple inside out turning for quite a while. So, after seeing Dale Dallon demonstrate an inside out flame, I had to jump back into it and incorporate the refinements I saw in his process.

Some of the refinements include:
using CA glue dots to hold the first set of staves together
using strapping tape for security
cutting a groove for alignment when reversing
rationalizing the wood preparation based on American Woodturner February 2010

Some facts:
Board thickness(y) divided by 1.732 or thickness times 0.577 = distance to first cut(x).
For a given board thickness(y), board width of 7 times x plus 2 saw kerfs is needed where x is the distance to the first cut.
Subsequent cuts are 2x or y divided by 0.866 or y multiplied by 1.155
A digital angle gauge is a great tool to set blade tilt.

Enjoy!
