Woodturning Eccentric Single Piece Scoop

https://www.AsWoodTurns.com

Inspired by a fantastic demonstration at the Portland American Woodturning Symposium by Eli Avisera.

This is an eccentric or multi-axis small scoop from a single piece of wood. It requires turning a sphere on the end of a spindle, then offsetting the axis to turn the main handle, then returning to the original axis to finish the handle. At long last, hollow the sphere to form the bowl of the scoop.

The octagon method for turning a sphere helped.

I also 3D printed a couple of accessories: a cup to receive the sphere while the handle was offset; and, a bushing or sleeve to hold the sphere while being hollowed.

3d Prints shared on www.Printables.com

Size: about 3.5" x 1.5". Finished with beeswax and mineral oil.

Enjoy.
